To Take Case To Exchequer Court

OTTAWA, Dec. 5—(CP)—- The Six Nations Indians, seeking to claim $1,289,467 from the Crown lii what it contends are debts more than a century old, was giv- en the go-ahead by the Sup- reme Court of Canada today as far as part of the money is con- cerned.

The court ruled the Indians have a right to appear before the Exchequer Court and try to establish claim to $160,000 which was taken from the Indians‘ trust fund more than 100 years ago and never returned, , lii addition to the $l60,000,| {irtliur Lemiellx of Ottawa, coun- sel for tile Indians, is expected to seek interest charges totalling $811,085, briiigiiil-Z illi‘ iolal amount still sought, by the Six Niiiions to $971,085.

’l‘lio Indians sought 1o claim re- payment from the Federal Gov- ernment for what happened to certain lands iii the Western On- turio counties of Brant and Haldi. mand.’1‘l10 lands were granted them by King Gcorgc lii. for their assistance in the American revolution.

Mr. Doane said he had visited a‘

1313c number of the municipalities] from coast to coast, and had (gum that the number of citizens ex- ercising their right to vote, was far below the number qualified. The danger of such a. situation is that a ‘comparatively small number of organized and determined Oom- munists may achieve high office or at least be encouraged to try for these posts. i The speaker cited the case of Tor- onto where Communists succeeded in electing two councillors and very nearly placed their candidate in the mayor's office.

He also urged that something be. done to teach the youth of the‘ community the furkiamentais of, government. A course in civics in the schooﬂs would be a splendid preparation for these future vot- ers.
