DOMINICN NO LONGER TO AID THE UNEMPLOYED Withdrawal of federal contribuâ€" tions to the provinces for unemployâ€" ment relief is announced in a letter from Premier King to Premier Brackâ€" en, of Manitoba, dated Feb. 20th. The Prime Minister in part stated that the policy of the Government as set out at the Dominion provincial conference was ‘"‘that such assistance as ‘had been given from the federal treasury had justification as a warâ€" time measure to meet conditions aâ€" rising out of the war and the reâ€"estaâ€" blishment of returned men to life."‘* Mr. King continues: "*It was stated at the conference â€"that justificaâ€" tion for federal assistance in the matâ€" ter of unemployment on this ground noâ€"longer exists. _ In our opinion, other cireumstances have not arisen which at the present time justify conâ€" no 1J0nger eXIStS, _ Nn Ou,l Opinioll, other cireumstances have not arisen which at the present time justify conâ€" tributions from federal treasury to either provinces or municipalities as assistance in dealing with the proâ€" blem ofunemployment."‘ District Representative, Timmins.

Are the Indians and Eskimos Starving in the Far North? Rev. W. G. Walton, Former Missionary in the James Bay Region, Again Makes Charges. It is the Duty of the Government to Investigate at Once and Settle the Question. Are the Indians and Eskimos of the Far North actually dying from starvaâ€" tion? If so, why has the Governâ€" ment persistently neglected to remedy conditions? If not, why does not the Government make official stateâ€" ment in the matter to relieve the anâ€" xiety of the publi¢. It is a disgrace to Canada ithat the story should be broadcasted that Indians and Eski but formerly a nussionary in th James Bay area, where he and hi wife lived for many years, is forwar once more with story thai Indian and Eskimos of the eastern shore of James and Hudson Bays are sut fering from starvation. In a lette last week to The Toronto Globe, Re fering from starvation. in a letter last week to The Toronto Globe, Itey. Mr. Walton states that there is great distress this winter through the alâ€" most entire absence of all game upon which they depend for food. Indians in desperation, are coming to the tradâ€" ing posts to get some sort of employâ€" ment in order to obtain food for themâ€" selves and their little ones, says the letter. According to the writer common boiled beef in tins is 75¢. a pound, and flour $14 to $16 a bag (98 lbs.). Most of them have nothing with which to pay for them, and the Govâ€" einment assistance by no means imeets the case. "The people are sending in a petiâ€" tion to the Indian Depmtmont pleadâ€" ing for help, and asking that a cattle ranch be started in the James Bay region in order to provide means to prevent this almost annual 511(‘!111"’ ‘It is eustomary‘‘ said Rev. Mr. Walton, ‘"‘for these suffering people to cut the moss on the rocks and boil it till it forms a jelly, a ecupful being as much as a man can take, and w hwh seems to stave off the eruel pangs of hunger for a while. But what of the little babies when the mothers are starving?‘‘ he asks. ‘‘Old bones are dug up and boiled for any remaining nourishment that may be extracted, and this in a district where the mean temperature for a fourâ€"year average .-â€"-â€"-â€"fâ€"- â€"sNnouid starve 1O ountry that once qually a disgrace tfovernment should false story to be THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE.

Mr. Walton in his letter says that he has often known them to eat the earecasses of their dogs which have died from disease. Durâ€" ing his 2 years‘ life among them 357 of the natives died from starvation, or through sickness as a result of such starvation, in spite of ail the help he and others could. render. _ Througn the disappeaance of the barren land, Caribou, in 1883, the Eskimos cannot obtain skins with which to make smatâ€" able clothing for such a elimate as theirs, so cannot sit as long as formerâ€" ly watching at a seal hole. _ They must go hungry and wait till the spring. when the seals come and lhhe able their ly w must anidd hunting are parllcuiariVy OUul O1 the question. Help must be found if their lives, and especially the lives oi the litile ones, are to be saved. ‘The need is too great for individuals to meet. It is up to the Government to acet, and act quickly. Mr. Walton, in an interview at Otâ€" tawa with the present Premier two years ago, suggested that he appeal to the British Government, since he could not believe that that Governâ€" ment would permit such conditions in any one of their Dominions if they knew of it, but the Premier answered that he did not think such an appeal need to ‘be made. The real solution, it is claimed, to this continuous food shortage in a disâ€" trict nearly 1,000 miles long is in the introduction of domesticated reindeer, as urged for so many years by Mr. Walton, and recommended by the Royal Commission, or musk ox and reindeer. Dr. Grenfell gave definite proof that reindeer could flourish in Newfoundland, for from his initial herd of 250 he had 1,200 in five years. ‘‘The Hudson‘s Bay Company were ill advised by Stefansson to try an experiment in Baffin‘s Land, where there is neither suitable shelter nor sufficient feed, hence the ultimate failâ€" ure,‘"‘ said Mr. Walton. ‘*This territory east of Hudson Bay was once the grazing land of countâ€" less thousands of caribou, till fires caused them to leave. The moss on which they live is still there; good harbors and landing places are plentiâ€" ful. The wolves followed the caribou, so that there is practically none in the whole district.

It is the only great district in the Dominion where there is not a resident doctor, Indian Agent, hospital or representative of A couple of years ago Rev. Mr. Walton put forw ard a sumlal charge, and last year again it was bmuu}n forward. The matter is one that should not be allowed to rest as it is. As The Advance has continued to point out: It is up to the Dominion Government to settle this question. If Mr. Walton is giving the facts of the case, the (rowmment should take mmwdmto action to see that Indians and Eskimos receive care and attenâ€" tion. If Mr. Walton is mistaken, or otherwise wrong, his claims should hbe dealt with so that no more credence may be given to them. The very atâ€" titude of the Government, however, seems to uphold the case as presented by Rev. Mr. Walton. Are Canadians content to let such a state of affairs exist? Surely not. The question seems to be one that should be openâ€" ly taken up on the‘floor of the Doâ€" minion House at this session. _ The right man to do it is our own member Mr J. A.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Comâ€" pany summarizes them in its annual report, indicating what a life insurâ€" ance company can do, should do and what, so far, it has been unable to do toward meeting them. ~In their order they are: Death, which may come earâ€" ly, before one‘s dependents have been provided for; Accident, always sudâ€" den and often causing lessened earnâ€" ing power; Sickness, which may cause want as well as suffering; Dependâ€" ent Old Age, which must seek charity if selfâ€"support is no longer possible, and Unemployment, which may bring distress to others in addition to the f one unemployed. It is shown that almost every financial requirement can now be met by insuranceâ€"annuiâ€" ties for old age, protection in case of death, accident or sickness.
