W. L. MACKENZIE KING
Canada has lost a great Canadian, a man who has
given most of his life to public service, the Rt. Hon.
William Lyon Mackenzie King was the prime minister
of Canada for the longest t$rm that any Canadian has
served as the elected hea-d of his country’s government.
While no one today can determine Air. King s place
in the historic advancement of this young nation, he will
without question rank among the leading and early
builders of a youthful Canada. He has shared promin­
ently in the development of Canadian autonomy to his
present position among the nations of the world. He
has seen Canada through eventful and critical times,
and played an important role in its destiny through
these decisive moments. It is noteworthy that out of 83
years since Confederation, Air. King was prime minister
for close to 22 years of that time.
One cannot be in complete accord with what he
has done during his term of office. Japanese Canadians
will remember that it was his government that imple­
mented the stringent wartime controls against them
which severely limited their rights and freedoms as
Canadian citizens. However, it may be said that he has,
during his public career, constantly acted in good faith,
within the bounds of political expediency.
He was entirely devotee! to his political office. Out­
side, he had little interest. And wrapped in the responsible duties of his position, he labored faithfully and
earnestly with the welfare of Canada at heart. No man
can do more.

EXPLODING A MYTH
A panel of international scientists, working under
the direction of the United Nations Educational, Scien­
tific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) has recent­
ly released in Paris a summary of their findings which
should dispel the outdated and unsubstantiated belief
that certain races are superior to others. The study was
thorough and conclusive: the group being made up of
biologists, geneticists, psychologists, sociologists and
anthropologists to assure that all factors will be brought
to bear on the investigation.
A summary of their findings underscores the fol­
lowing points :
1. Racial discrimination such as marked Nazi po­
licy which is still practiced in various parts of the world,
has no natural scientific basis.
2. No group of mankind differs essentially from
another in intelligence, temperament or other inherent
i n on t a 1 c 11 a ra c t e risti cs.
3. Racial mixtures through intermarriage do not
proouce biologically bad results. The social results ge­
nerally accredited to such mixing are purely the result
of social factors.
a. A race is not constituted by a, national or reli­
gious group, by people living in a geographical area, or
>penmng uio same language, or tied together by a com­
mon cmtural heritage. (The experts recognized only
three races: Mongoloid. Negroid, and Caucasoid.)
o. In a given cultural environment providing equal
opportunities, the average achievement of the members
ot dnterem ethnic groups is about the same.
(\ All human beings possess educatability and
adaptability and a.re therefore perfectly apt for the de­
velopment of their mental capacities.

This is a story about a father
and a mother whose son found
a friend.
That friend was a college —
Carleton — at Northfield, Minn.
The story is about Frank Shi­

who had grown up in a setapart section of Seattle. A lot
of us remember what happened
to those fellow citizens of ours

had been attending the Univer­
sity of Washington — but sud­
