peo Rea tse th Student body critical of writer’s views on colonial administration Hor the second time in a week, UBC has been host to citizens from the land down under, Australia. On Monday, December 2 a large and interested audience heard Mr. Paul Maguire, writer and war correspondent, He prefaced these remarks by st jects. lishing concern which was inter- ested in exploiting, in a literary way , the Pacific area of the world. It was his opinion that this area would inerease tremen- dously in world importance, but was at the present time practical- ly unknown, culturally. He then cited ‘his recent travels which have brought him in close con- tact with members of the various United Nations delegations. Hie went On to express the view that the future of the world lay in a consolidation of the British Hm- pire, as this imstitution has un- questionably demonstrated its ab- ility to lead the world in matters of government and culture (speaker’s opinion). The. role of Canada at the present time is to Show the people of the USA that this is the case, and strive to bring the vast power of the USA in line with British politi- cal and cultural leadership. These views aroused consider- able interest among the students and their questions posed some problems for Mr. Maguire. Re- garding Indonesia, he felt that the Dutch would most certain- ly have to remain there in a governing capacity or indefinite Civil war would result. He cited the backwardness of the people even mentioning the cannibal tribes that still live there. Fur-_ thermore the native rulers, sul- tans, ete. would exploit their peoples more terribly than the Duteh. z it was asked why these peo- ples were still in such a back- ward state, if as Mr. Maguire had intimated earlier, the PHuropean colonial systems had done _ so much for the natives of their colonies. The questioner asked bluntly if the colonial powers had net been more interested in ex— ploitation of peopies than politi- eal and cultural development. Mr. Maguire answered quite frankly that, of course, they were interested in what they would get from the colonies, but then who isn’t after all he Can get? And that was that!

A co-ed, Rosemary Hodg- ins, was among those chosen alongs: with Gordon Reed, Jim Su- therland, and Michael Creal. Miss affirmative while Reed and Creal took the negative. Arsuments ad- vanced by the affirmative took the general view that armaments were an unbearable economic bur- den and that they contributed to the possibility of future wars. A variety of arguments was used by the negative including the ur- gent meed of arming to “erush Russian and Communist imperial- ism,” and the need of keeping large standing armies in each United Nation so that world pol- ice force commitments could be met. There was no formal de- eision as to which side won.

She eriti- cized marital institutions of the present day as “a failure, not even up to Roman standards.” She suggested some manner of com- munal living as a more practical alternative. “Humanity is doing- the splits,” she said, “because we are advancing dynamically on the scientific. and technological side, while morals and customs stand on _an old, established level.” Blaming monogamous mar- riage for producing psychologi- Cally maladjusted children, Mrs. Kals suggested bringing up chil-, dren in company “with many other people of all ages to give them a sounder basis for get- ting along with others. She ac- cused law, religion, the state, and vested interests of helping to maintain the monogamous Status quo.

Island are solidly behind the campaign for resumption of the news broadcast, .barred from the air six weeks ago by Station CKWX, according to Al Parkin, Tribune radio editor, who has returned from a speak- to the poll now being conducted through trade wunion_ newspapers aimed at determining whether the labor broadcast was received in outlying areas, and to ascertain the popularity of a strictly labor broadcast. = At Courtenay, officers of the IWA informed the Tribune radio editor that many citizens of the area not members of the union— such as farmers and small busi- ness men—had come into the union seeking extra ballots by which to register their opinions. “There is no doubt that even apart irom the action taken by scores of important trade unions, the management of CKWX must have received many hundreds of letters of protest from all parts of the prevince,” Parkin states, “If these protests continue to roll in, we may yet force CKWX to reconsider its discriminatory ac- tion and reinstate our labor program.” a JOHN STANTON Barrtater - Solicitor Notacy Pablie 502 Holden Bldg. — M Ar. 5746 Night: Alma 2177-M A.

There are unfortunately one or two who | have fallen down badly, Lake Cowichan, Ladysmith and Duncan. Sointula, on the other hand, has done exceptionally well with ao $30 donation in last week. The Interior and Okanagan clubs have, generally speaking, fallen down on their reputation as super-boosters that they made for themselves during the drive, the one exception to this is the Vernon South Club which jumped to a total of $128.60 with 382 subs and $63.60 in donations over their drive, total of $38.50; 10 subs and $18.50 in donations. Well done! : Whitehorse and Yellowknife have done some nothing to shout about. Tulsequah on the other hand, which is Barney McGuire’s special baby at the moment, even though 3 very new era, has done as weli, in fact better under the cireum- Stances, than any other out-of-town club. @n the whole, the period covered by the attached list shows that most of the clubs are confining their press activity to drive - periods, and have not started to systematically canvass for Subs | and donations. The New Year must mark a change. In order te maintain the paper, let us resolve to conduct a systematic month to month canvass. , Be sure to rush all your funds in before the end of the year |” So your club will get proper eredit in the final issue of the Tribune | for 1946. We are closing off the records on December 31, and start ing everyone off with a clean sheet for 1947. Any money that comes in after the end of this month will not be credited on this year’s records.
