Page Fifty-Two M. H. s. REVIEW Qhraturical Qlluntzst CANADA'S FUTURE V X-A In the years that have gone before, Can- ada has had many diliiculties to contend with. ' , X Those challenges to Canada's achieving sons n X and daughters were squarely met and sin- vnl -, ccrely endured. The work of upbuilding Q 4 Canada has developed in us a distinctive type Q of Canadian character-a type which is con- tinually called upon to meet new situations x and solve new problems. In years that are V to come, we will not rest on our oars but will Q press on eagerly seeking a solution to diffi- V -..A ,J X culties, that are becoming more and more S, 'Q' visible on the horizon of our country. -W JIMW lt will fall upon the shoulders of the on- l' l f .N coming generation of young men, to meet ' lj ' ' Q new difliculties and solve new problems. X oM,L,e::,W'W 'Their success in finding workable solutions will determine to a great degree the future of the nation. It is to be sincerely hoped for that some of the best speci- mens the country can produce will dedicate their lives to statesmanship. No worthier cause, no more splendid endeavour could command their at- tention. The growing indications of a more determined attempt at na- tional unity are particularly gratifying. Great as some of the barriers are to attaining real national concord, Canada can never take her rightful place in the sun until she obtains it. What remnants there are left of petty provincialism must disappear for the good of the country as a whole. May east know west with clearer understanding. Let us help each in our difficulties and surely our etforts will meet with success. Each province excels' in its own way. The powers of adaptation to circumstances which are constantly required of the nine provinces have been equally well displayed. The different circumstances met, however, have inclined to produce somewhat diiferent characteristics in the people concerned. The result of this has been an individual viewpoint. When a province takes a reasonable pride in its own accomplishments, and seeks to retain a high measure of perfection in its own Held, that is very com- mendable. When any province harbours a feeling of superiority or infers the slightest intolerance, that is a very different matter. Therein lies the greatest hindrance to perfect national unity. If we have any disturbing element in our make-up, which is going to retard the onward march of Canada, let us pluck it out before too great harm is done. We have in Canada, assets and resources which are ever increasing in size and importance. The unique way in which they are spread about has always been a cause for joy at home and envy abroad. No part of the Dominion is barren but possesses an abundance of material wealth peculiar to itself. British Columbia on the Pacific coast is an example of a province containing thriving industries which have only begun to tap untold resources. There, the Douglas fir rises to lofty heights. There winding rivers yield famous salmon. Every year thousands of tourists enjoy its mild climate and proclaim its scenic grandeur. The prairie provinces are the greatest wheat growing areas in the world. The quantity and quality of wheat they produce is famous the world over.
