Phillips, Chief of the Arctic Division of the De- partment of Northern Affairs, May 13, at the New Liskeard High School and it was the general op- inion that the meeting was well up to the high standard that had been maintained by the Club during the season. Speaking with a thorough know- ledge of his subject and with all the enthusiasm that indicated his love of the north, Mr. Phillips, with the aid of a large scale map car- ried his audience on a verbal tour of the vast resources of the Cana- dian North. Quoting statistics effectively, he outlined the potential of wealth awaiting the coming of develop- ment of railroads, and the move- ment of investment capital. His talk covered the finding of oil, asbestos, nickel, and other metals and touched on the life habits and education of the Can- adian Eskimos, and compared the status of these inhabitants of the Canadian North with those under the supervision of Russian Arctic authorities. During the question and answer period, he explained some of the problems relating to the establish- ment of Canadian sovereignty in the many island groups to the north and expressed the opinion that this would ultimately be work- ed out in a manner satisfactory to other nations.
