lrving Sing. a student in en- gineering from British Guiana was guest speaker. He express- ed appreciation for being asked to speak on behalf of the other iorelgn students. particularly the hospitality shown to all by Charlottetown residents with
whom they have come in con.
tact.
“It is so thoughtful of you. when opportunity arises. to give us the chance to tell you a few things about our country. You can imagine what ' would be like if we came over here only to find .hat the Can- adians have no interest in our- selves or in our country; but the mere fact that we meet: people wi‘o are very nice to us. name of whom have invited us to theirhomes. and to meet their family. is something which has given us a very favorable impresison of this. your beauti- ful island."
"I would like no hope that if any of you would go to my country, you would meet the same warmth of heart and un- precedented hospitality". Mr. Sing said.
Continuing. the a review of the country which was listened to with deep interest. “British Guiana ii the only British 001- ony on the mainland of South America.

“The British area of about
.000 square miles prospered exclusively as a sugar planta- tion. due to the free slava labor and although Britain ceased to partake in the slave trade in 1007 the country continued to prosper through illicit slavery. Immigration from Madras a Calcutta brought with it initia- tive and skills that immediately restored the economic balance of_d the country." the speaker
sai _ . SIX RACES
"Six races compose the pop- ulation. consisting of 50 per cent East Indians. 35 per cent Neg- roes. 10 per cent aboriginal In- dians. four per cent Chinese and about four per cent Portuguese and two per cent British. The imputation is about one million”.
sing said the British and
Portuguese are mostly adminis- trators and commercial work- ers. The Negroes are mostly tradesmen and clerical workers and live mainly in the city. The East Indians are nearly all pea- sants and are scattered through- out the coastline. The aboriginal lndians still live and hunt in the interior. Hinduism. Christianity and Mohamedlniam are the three main religions. POLITICAL menus
