• Canada Moves North by Richard Finnie MacMillan Company of Canada. Toronto-$3.00 HIS is a book which should T be of more than casual interest to Newfoundlanders because of Newfoundland's possession of, and responsibility for, the vast territory of Labrador. Described by famed explorer, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, as "the best general book about Northern Canada," it does much to upset the popular conception of the Canadian North as a barren land utterly unfit for settlement or development. Mr. Finnie, born in the Yukon Territory, has covered most of the Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic and has been an explorer-writer since the age of eighteen. His description of life and living in the Canadian North has an air of authority not present in work of writers of a more transient type. Probably the most controversial part of 1\o'lr. Finnie's book is his frank opinion that Christian missionaries to the Eskimo and Indian in the north have done more hann than good to these native peoples. He looks at things from a purely materialistic viewpoint and seems to be of the opinion that the Government should take over respon- 22 sibility for the education and material welfare of the natives as soon as possible and on a strictly non-religious (and particularly non-sectarian) basis. There are veteran missionaries who have done good work in the arctic who could dispute with and even perhaps confound Mr. Finnie but his viewpoint is nevertheless an interesting and provocative one. • Left Turn Canada by M. J. Coldwell Duell, Sloan and Pearce. Toronto and New York. Because of their recent decision to join in Federal Union with the Dominion of Canada, Newfoundlanders are going to have to decide soon what political parties in Canada appeal most to them. Canada's Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, a mildly socialist party roughly equivalent to Great Britain's Labor Party and to the Labor parties of Australia and New Zealand is a potent, but by no means decisive, force in the political life of the Dominion and in this book the party's leader, English-born M. J. Coldwell, explains what the C.C.F. stands for. A frankly partisan setting forth of a party program and the Socialist ideal, Mr. Coldwell's book should be read as such. ATLANTIC GUARDIA)!
