Alien Tribes Enroach on White Indian Tribe in Republic of Panama
Reservation Their Only Hope Outside Trade Introduces Freedom Ideas
[Release Service]
Foreign Ideas
Washington, Oct. 10.—If the San Blas Islands of Panama could be left alone for the next few centuries they might develop a unique culture, like the famous Maya of Yucatan. But this interesting scientific experiment has little chance of taking place, since alien tribes are steadily enchanting on the land occupied by the San Blas.
The San Blas, who are a link between the Peruvian and the Maya in their characteristics, have not amalgamated with other tribes since very early times, Mr. Krieger said. Watchman of the tribe guard the river which is known to come to a native village, and any attempt to stay over night is discouraged. But the Panamanians are trying to force this independent and self sufficient group to accept their government and to send their children to school, and it is only a matter of time that they will in and will bloom with other tribes.
The situation among these Indians, who have become widely known in this country through the visit of the "white Indians" of their tribe, is described by Herbert W. Krieger, ethologist of the U.S. National new government publication on the people of southeastern Panama.
The only measure which might enable the San Blas to remain isolated would be to establish a reservation. And while this might solve problems for us, it could also lead the San Blas, Mr. Krieger says, so far as science is concerned it would really come too late now for the tribe to develop its own culture, since they trade with the negro and other indigenous, and are asserting alien ideas.
"The reason why they have not perfected a system of writing, a calendar, or other developments of a high civilization may be that they have never gathered into large communities." Mr. Krieger believes, "instead, they live in small villages off the islands of the Panama coast, and commute to the mainland where they cultivate plantations."

WORTHY OF SUPPORT
Following its policy of open politics, started in the spring election last year, the Independent Coalition herewith wishes to present to the entire student body of the University its list of candidates for the fall election.

Judge these men and women on their merit and ability alone.

Vote for Merit
For the coming election the INDEPENDENT COALITION is supporting what is believed to be one of the most BALANCED tickets ever submitted to the University for their approval. As between fraternity and the university, both sides have expressed concern that the balance has been effected to the satisfaction of both groups above mentioned.
Notice the candidates for the senior class offices. Each of the three men candidates is a Sachem, which means that he is a man of outstanding ability and a recognized leader in Hill activities. More to be said of these men candidates is that they digigate their records for yourself. Make your choice on the basis of merit.
