OTTAWA.-When delegates
from a dozen Asian countries
were here for Colombo plan
meetings recently, several of
them asked to see Canadian
government films about Eski-
mos.
"It's as though we went to
their countries and asked only
about their most backward
tribes" a Canadian official
grunted privately. Neverthe-
less films on life in the Arctic
were screened for the VIPs
from tropical Southeast Asia.
The Canadian officials reac-
ton reflected this country's
guilty conscience about its
$500 native citizens of the
Arctic. Civilization has over
whelmed the EskinloS' Stone
Age culture, subjected the ma
tives to alien economic and
moral laws, robbed them of
their f-suflciency, wasted
their game resources and
introduced diseases against
which they have little resist
ance.

tives of the government, the

To date, nobody has ex-
plored fully the social and po-
litical implications of the pro-
posal by District Health Di-
rector Dan Seckinger that peo-
pie give up the practice of
handshaking.
Or. Seckinger put his finger
on the medical justification
for his position with this OBJ
servation:
"The handshake may easily
serve to hand somebody an
Infection"
Following the recommends
ton to its logical conclusion,
however. it is easy to see that
it could:
/. Prevent the traditional
sealing of "gentlemen's agree
ments" (which, some cynics
say, are neither agreements
nor made by gentlemen
2. Keep members of fra
ternal groups with special grips
from recognizing each othel
8. Temper the JOY attendant

churches and the Hudson's
Bay Co. drafted a pro-
gram to foster the economic
rehabilitation and cultural de-
velopment of the EskimoS.
Progress has been made in
a number of directions, par
ticularly toward diversifica-
ton of the Arctic economy.
Before the white man came
the Eskimos lived entirely off
the land and the sea. White
traders induced them to trap
foxes in return for iron tools,
packaged foods and other
products of civilization, and
thus they lost their self-suf-
f1ciency and became enmeshed
in the white mans economic
system.
Market Collapse
Before World War II a prime
fox pelt sold for $40, in l946
for $25 and this year the price
is about $40. The market coll
lapse-because civilized won1-
en- stopped buying fur neck
pieces and fur-trimmed cloth
coats-was calamitous for the
EskimoS' one-crop economy.
A major effort is being made
to introduce new ways for the
natives to earn their livings.

man charitable impulse (lend-
ing a hand).
Politically, of course, it could
limit the relationships of poll
ticians with their constituents
to kissing babies-which prob
ably spreads even more germs
to even more vulnerable VIC
Tins. Its implications even
extend to the White House,
where Presidents and their
wives long have greeted Wis
itors to functions with the
nandclaSp. The Health Direc-
tor did not elaborate but it is
possible the Chief Executive
could get by with a rubber
glove.

cal advantages, perhaps the
only other apparent improve
ment from the proposal would
be control of that one in every
crowd who grasps your hand
like a wise for the sheer pleas
ure of hearing your knuckles
crack and seeing you vince.
Dr.. Seckinger'S statement
took the position that the
handshake In saluting or well
coming people is no longer
necessary. He added that "as

Some Eskimos are becoming
reindeer herders, fishermen,
makers of handicrafts, collec-
tors of eiderdown, commercial
whalers and laborers, carpen-
tiers and mechanics at white
settlements. A few have moved
south into Indian or white
country.
Help Needed
The program obviously
needed white men to work
among the Eskimos, explain
ing the reasons for the innova-
tions and seeking the natives
cooperation. Last spring the
government announced the es-
tablishment of such a job,
known as northern service
officer" and invited applica-
tions.
The position is similar to
that of an Indian agent. The
northern service officer is ex-
pected to make his career in
the Arctic, which means liv-
ing among the Eskimos for
anywhere from 10 to 20 years.
This requires a man-and, If

Canada Launches Point n for Eskimos

and for reasons other than
money.
All the government offers
for the job of smoothing the
way for a people emerging
from the Stone Age is $4,000
to 5000 a year, plus a north
ern living allowance of 5000
a year for single men and
$500 for married men.
Despite the hardships and
the low salaries. there were
278 applicants for the first six
jobs. The men selected were
two scientists, two former
trading post managers, a men,
ber of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police and a former
film producer. All had expert
ence IN the Arctic and four
were married.
Not their slightest problem
will be the Eskimos' natural
improvidence. One Arctic ex-
pert illustrates this with an
anecdote about many cords Of
firewood he had gathered at
his winter camp. A passing
Eskimo's amazement was not
lessened by the white mans
explanation that he had
stacked enough wood to last
him all winter.
But what If you die?" the
Eskimo countered.
