Sept. 28 CP) Premier Drew of Ontario in a broad cast over a provincial network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora-j tion tonight told of his recent trip overseas where he visited service men and women in England and France.

"My primary purpose in going to Britain was to establish a more effective arrangement for assuring the young men and women from Ontario every advantage of the rehabilitation, and if necessary hospitalization, which is available." The government found that many members of the services returning home had no idea of the rehabilitation opportunities open to them and "lt became absolutely necessary to make our own arrangements in London" by setting up Ontario House, where all the information is available to them. Col. Drew said. Stating that Ontario has the most advanced rehabilitation organization in Canada, he said that "already, since I returned, we have set up two new instructional renters" and also have established sperUl classes for those desiring to take university courses but who require further Instruction to give them the necessary matriculation standard.

Social Week Opens I Its 21st Session "The change in social order should first be felt by the agricultural and working classes which had felt the effects of the depression most. Their members should not be reduced to a life of misery nd said Rev. Father J. P.

Archambault. S.J., speaking at the opening meeting of the 21st fusion of the Social Week of Canada, at Ottawa University yesterday evening. He stated that he did not believe tliat a change in the form ot government, "a social revolution" or "the substitution of socialism for private enterprise" were necessary to bring about the new social order. "Capitalism is in Itself not a bad thing. Father Archambault continued.

"Abuses have made it bad. When handled sanely, purified and controlled," it can contribute to a return of order and prosperity. "But who should control it? The professional bodies and corporative orders, an Pope Plim XI htis said. Well orgHnled, directed by men animated by a Christian spirit, they will deliver society from economic dictatorship and return it to a healthy and normal life," As president of l.es Hcmalnes fioclales du Cunada, an organization of French-speaking clergy and laymen formed in 1920 to study current social problems in the light of Catholic doctrine, Father Archambault was delivering the opening address of this coming-of-age convention, whose special subject this year will be "Social Restoration."

There's more money changing hands nowadays than ever before, but even at that there's not a bank in the community. Dr.

L. D. Livingstone, bnck in Ottawa after being government medical officer at Aklavik for six, years, estimates there Is always $500,000 in currency around the place much of it in the hands of Erklmos, riding the crest of a bountiful fur season. "One merchant showed me a bundle pf bills that had $110,000 in it," he recalled. "That was the biggest lot of money in one bundle I ever saw." Aklavik is a great trading post for the Eskimos who trap in the Mackenzie Delta for muskrats and on Banks Island in the Beaufort Sea for white fox.

There are four important firms in Aklavik which buy furs and it In not uncommon for iy Kfiklmo family to drop in with $5,000 worth of furs, representing a year's catch. It requires a lot of ready cash to handle that kind of business, especially when eight or 10 families travel together. "I imagine $500,000 were made by the Eskimos In muskrat last year," said Dr. Livingstone. "They get them in the Mackenzie Delta and the supply seems to be unlimited." The trapping- industry Is largely leserved for Eskimos and Indians.

Few white men are granted licenses. The Eskimos, particularly, are growing rich as they are not so wasteful as Indians. But they aren't hoarding their money, either. "They rnd a lot on their equipment," he said. This flow of money into the pockets of the Eskimos has driven home another law of the white man from which there is no escape.

They now pay income tax. They don't understand why they should, but the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tell them it's the law so they obey without complaining. They also buy war bonds. C.P.R. Deficit MONTREAL, Sept.
