A serious situation has arisen at the Sioux nation’s Indian reservation at Brantford, Ontario, as the result of Government ousting Indian squatters from reservation lands which the Government reserved for ex-service men. Indian chiefs, who travelled to England seeking relief, were told by Hon Winston Churchill that th" matter was completely in the Canadian Government’s hands. Canadian court officers who attempted to oust the squatters barely escaped with their lives. The Indians show an ancient deed purporting to give them the complete right over tlie reservation. Mr Stewart (Minister of the Interior) is due to arrive at Brantford to hold a meeting, at which the Indians will receive a hearing.
