During at Allende's government it was [A used once every week, that e was how hie ruled. Allende feli of because hie was a poor president, Mr. MacKinnon ns interjected. 1. of Another illustration of this S- criticism and condoning was e pointed out by Dr. MacKinnon e in that hie knew people whc 1g were trying to keep American )Y Professors out of Canadian Universities and at the saine 'e time were trying to place )n Chilean professors at those Id Universities. S. On the topic of South Africa, ie Dr. MacKinnon mentioned the w' number of resolutions that had fl been sent to the country 7n advising them by Canadians S. who know nothing about the rsituation.* He stated that in South Africa it is not a black t and white problem, but a '0 iulti-national one. And that >-many of the residents of South le Africa believe the problem to w~ arise to a great extent in tribal ,n and intertribal relationships. t H1e pointed out that many if resolutions had been sent to it South Africa by the churches n and church organizations cnit- icising what bas taken place there. However Dr. MacKin- non pointed out there were no resolutions when a number of ministers and church people were slaughtered in Uganada. At this point in his talk Dr. MacKinnon set up a hypothet- ical situation where a resolu- tion had been received by the' Government of South Africa and they had sent a delegation to Canada to see the Canadian solution. dThe delegation being greet- ed at the Airport by two white Canadians ask to see some Canadians. The two people at the airport reply they are Canadians. to whîch they learn that in South Africa only the blacks are South Africans and the rest have tities. The delegation then ask to see a reserve which in their eyes has been indicated as a solution to their black sec- tions. Dr. MacKinnon then told the club of how embarass- ing this might be, to himý and other Canadians. Finally the Delegation ask how many natives attend University, and a very low percentage is given in respect in Africans attend- ningý University in South Africa. Dr.MacKinnon summed up the situation by stating that the delegation leaves with the idea they have more natives, but Canada does lessfo theirs. Dr.,MacKinnon then gave a summation of his view of poli tics, starting with an explanation of Right and Left. He told the club that the difference between right and lef t was not a straight line with right at one extreme and left on the other, but it was a circle with the extreme left and extreme right in his view at the saine point. There is no difference hle stated. As to what politics has meant to world relations, hie stated governments and pol- iticians can get along as a matter of business, but'two countries getting along was up to the people. In concluding his address hie asked the members of the club to give examples of how people promoted good will and communication from one country to another. A suggest- ion given was international sport. To which Dr,. MacKin- non replied it was, however it had been ruined by politics.

He stated, that South mh Africa is only 10 per cent o under cultivation. Farm help was a subject of particular interest to Mr. Rickard as he explained that a farmer with 12 black people working for him in fact was providing food for 144 people, the average family being 12 people. He also told the club that a black woman in the area having a baby would take only two days off work to have the baby. The slides showed Shorthorn cattie imported from Canada to increase the quality of the being' that the local cattle were underweight.
