W. I. Conference Delegates Hear Talk On Far East " No while man will be living in Asia and Africa within the next decade without the permission of the native government." predicted Mr. F . P. Galbraith who spoke on his travels through Asia and Africa at the Red Deer Centre constituency Women's Institute conference held Friday afternoon at the Knox Presbyterian church hall. . Mr. Galbraith is president of the Red Deer Advocate. He said that it is possible that the white man will be invited and encouraged to remain in the Asiatic countries such as they are in India, where foreign investment, both Eastern and Western is important to the economy of the country. Mr. Galbraith said that he was impressed with the vast undertaking of the Indian government which was very poor when India gained independence but is attempting to educate and feed 450,000.000 people as well as industrialize the country. " Among Ihe problems which face the Indian government are the many dialects in the country which has 14 official languages." Mr. Galbraith said. He also felt lhal the religious beliefs of many of the Asiatic peoples makes it difficult for the governments to J induce them to help themselves. He said that the economy operates on the basis of two people doing the job of one so that a maximum number of people may be employed. He found lhal the Indian and Mrs. M. Brett and Mrs. C. Adams of the Springvale W. I. display their winning scrapbook on Alberta which was judged first in a competition with scrapbooks made by the other branches. The scrap books will be sent to women's groups in other countries. Judges were Mrs. R. V. McCullough and Mrs. J . F e r r i s. white people worked reasonably well together with Indians hold ing high offices in English comp anies. • Japan," Mr. Galbraith said, " is one of the most fascinating countries in Ihe w o r l d today The Asiatic people appear Amer icanized on the surface, but they are utterly different." he said. The people he found extremely hospitible, never discussing the past war and not talking of aggression. " Japan Is a growing country," he said " and dependent on its Very active trade." He said that it is obvious thai Canada must allow ihe Japanese products to compete ,. n the Canadian market if Canada wishes lo sell pro- I di- ce to Japan. A country of contradictions. Japan has the most modern newspaper equipmen! in the world but Tokyo, a city of nine million people has no street, signs or addresses. M r. G a lbra i th found Hong Kong fascinating because it continues to exist although there is no possible way of defending the British colony. He said lhal ihe Chinese mainland government prohahly find< Hon- K0112 useful as an outlet lo the Western World. The refugee problem In Hong Kong he felt is more acute than anywhere else in the world and predicts that the situation will deteriorate before it becomes better. The Indonesian people he found quiet, happy and helpful, living a somewhat primitive life. Any disturbance in the country • is caused by people who have had contact with the Western world. Here lie was surprised to see people harvesting and planting rice in the same season, the equitable climate allowing this. Talking on Africa, and Egypt specifically, Mr. Galbraith felt that one of the reasons why Nas-sar is so popular is because he is the first Egvptian to rule Egypt in 2,000 years. " Many changes have taken place in Ihe country such as new roads and modern airports, but the country, like most North / African countries, is made up of a small group of comfortable people and a large group of poverty stricken people," Mr. Galbraith said. Mr. Galbraith said in conclusion that all travel becomes a part of you. He said that you discover similarities in people regardless of race or condition, with each man trying to get along in his own way.
