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.
