He supported Senator Scott’s con- tention regarding mixed breeds by citing the well-being of the Eski-| mos of St. Lawrence Island, where white men have not worked their evil. “Eskimos are not an inferior race,” he stated, “but they are an individual race.” The pure Eskimos are proud of their origin and are aware that harm comes to them from mixing with whites. It is the mixed breed who is not accepted by either race who causes the trouble. Declaring, “I believe in racial pride” and do not think this bill will do other than arouse bitterness, Sevator Collins lashed out at the sale of liquor to natives, as the root of trouble. A motion to report progress, of- fered by Senator Walker, was ap- oved, following the testimony of Mrs. Peratrovich, which terminated discussion. S e Hi, Bill!
