SMALL HOPE FOR THE ARCTIC NATIVE

Harlan Gubser back from the Arctic reports wolf depredations the in the reindeer country Herds which in the summer showed substantial num- bers only few when the fall roundup occurred, the wolves having made terrific inroads And this of traps and other equipment to the native people to aid them in their against the wolves.
 The reason, says the Biological Survey man, is lack of herding The reindeer are permitted to wan der at will becoming easy prey for the wolves where by closely herded the wolves would have approach the herds and the herdsman would have not only better opportunity protect his herd but better chance to capture the wolf wolves Gubser explained
 It sounds perfectly logical. But why won't the Eskimo take advantage of it and herd his animals?
 Gubser says it is because the Eskimo doesn't care for that sort of thing He isn't by nature herdsman and he tires quickly of such a routine task. Charley Brewer, the Point Barrow pioneer who has lived among the Eskimos for fifty years said the same thing when he went through here south several months ago. The Eskimo. Brewer explained, is a hunter He has always hunted for his food and it is natural for him to do When he returns from the hunt vic- torious. he, naturally enough doesn't see any percen- tage in going out and riding herd a bunch of reindeer
 It seems to simmer down to the simple fact that the white mans curse is upon them in the Arctic Just as it has been upon primitive people the world over The grasping white man rushed in Bible il one hand and bottle of liquor the other to wish upon the native every bamy idea to disrupt his mode of living.

 Under this planetary government there may be a tendency toward |retrospeoiion and the aged may feel sad contemplating the vanished years.
 Hotels and restaurants will profit |amazingly this year but an un- toward incident will arouse protest from temperance advocates. T h e young are warned against indul- gence in alcoholic beverages. Cock tail parties will multiply and night Iclubs will be widely patronized, the holiday scandals will be numerous.
 Return to old standards of living is again prognosticated as univer- sity students recognize the signifi- .cance of world affairs and social leaders read the handwriting on the wall regarding stock exchanges and ball rooms.
 Famous visitors from Europe are to be lavishly entertained this win ter. An embarrassing international incident will disturb American statesmen.
 Washington is to offer more so- cial problems than usual through one of the gayest seasons at the national capital. There will be much deceit in high places as diplo- mats hold informal conferences, London astrolgers prophecy.
 Gain in public intelligence is prognosticated, for newspapers and the radio will now command grow ing interest. News reels and tele- graphic bulletins will gain in pop ularity.

 Now in great wisdom trying to make la herder out of natural born hunter Of course it won't work, but that doesn't make any difference. We'll go right doing it. The Congress will appro- prate for the benefit of the native and the bureaus which have to do with such things will spend the money under the assumption of being a great white father to the native The field representatives of these bureaus will come back from their field trips and report that this that can't be done if the native is to survive because it isn't in line with his scheme of things. But will the bureau pay any at tention? Not while it has any money to spend and a few determined souls who are set on helping the native if it kills him. That is the white mans bureaucratical way of doing things-kill Our record is that invariably kill
