cmap. 11] TREATMENT OF NATIVE RACES 1057 which show that much is being done to improve the material conditions, though unfortunately it is doubtful whether the future for the Indian people can be satisfactory, as the native virtues of the Indians have disappeared, in a large measure through contact with the whites, and the population appears to tend to decline. It is still, however, of great value in the unorganized territories of Canada, in which it is care- fully superintended by the Canadian Government, which has created a police force of almost unequalled capacity and ability to deal with the Indians. There is also a possibility of advantages accruing to them from the construction of the railway of the western provinces to the Hudson Bay. In the case of Newfoundland and Labrador the local Government has also had full control of the natives. In Newfoundland itself there is a native settlement which is not very prosperous, though that does not appear to be any fault of the Government. An interesting report on its condition was given in a report of a visit paid in 1908 to the Micmac Indians by Sir W. Macgregor.? In Labrador the Indians form a more important part of the population, but Labrador is almost destitute of regular government. Its present condition is fully described in an slaborate report made by Sir W. Macgregor which was presented in 1905 to the Parliament of N: ewfoundland. Good results for natives and Europeans alike are being achieved by Dr. Grenfell’s famous mission, and an Act of 1911 pre- vents the exploitation of natives for exhibition purposes. § 3. NEW ZEALAND In the case of New Zealand? for a time the Imperial Jovernment exercised a control over the natives directly. - The land legislation of Canada was amended in 1911 in Indian interests. When land is needed it is acquired by the Government, which sees that adequate lands are left in Indian hands. Cf. House of Commons Debates, 1910-1, pp. 7785 seq. * Parl. Pap., Cd. 4197. 3 See accounts of Maori progress in the Official Year Book, and in the wnnual reports of the Minister for Education. Rusden’s New Zealand is an indictment of the misgovernment of the whites, and cf. Sir A. Gordon n Parl, Pap., C. 3382. But things have changed for the better since 1884. 1279°2 Kk
