~ by the sight Of the natives coming out Of their
primitive villages and trying to become like Euro
peans Here, as in every land just being modernzed,
serious problem is how to eliminate old barbarisms
without wrecking the society to which they belong.
The evil lizards of ilteracy, superstition and low
living standards evident to everyone The pressure
is strong for improvement. Yet much harm can come
from change imposed from the outside or forced
through too hastily by local leaders anxious to initiate
the Europeans and Americans.
The undiscriminating Westernization and indus
trializaton of backward areas will produce no utopia
even when coupled with the political freedom which
people so ardently desire. To snatch people up from
their Jungle villages and set them down in crowded

To Attend ICEM Meeting

among receiving countries in
1854.
ICEM stresses individual
qualifications for particular
migration programs.
The family-reunion plan. in
which Representative Thomp-
son is particularly interested.
is one Of the most successful
ventures Of the committee, ac-
cording to reports.
In several countries, the
heads Of families migrated
ahead of their dependents,
then could not afford to trans
port thier dependents. The
committee successfully nego-
tiated agreements with the
interested governments and
arranged for the reunion of
such families.
In addition to her interest
in the welfare Of those living
abroad, Miss Thompson is also
concerned about those living
nearby.
A former judge in juvenile
court in Michigan, she has the
welfare of Capitol pages at
heart. There are IA pages
ranging in age from IA to IS
years Of age.
Miss Thompson explains
that the boys come from cities
and small towns, and their
take-home pay is $240 per
month.
About rs per cent of them
are on their own - living
where. and as they please.
About 25 per cent live with
relatives or friends, but others
have no supervision or guid-
ance, after hours. of any kind.
Not Enough
They are required to work
specified hours and to attend
school regularly in classrooms
maintained in the Library Of

don't eat properly or have

not reprimanded. They receive
