The dominion is second in the world output of hydro-electric power, pulp, aluminum, gold and zinc, and third in the production of silver, sawn lumber and oats. In the Northland, the great areas of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon, there are still vast frontiers of natural resources which have not been fully explored. The atomic age and the arrival of the iet engine brought new challenges to the Canadian mining industries. The most remarkable feature was expanding the output not only in such traditional fields as those of non-ferrous metals, fnickel, copper, lead and zincl but also in newer fields, including oil, iron ore, cobalt, uranium and other rare materials. ln the field of medicine, one of the most remarkable uses of radio-active materials developed in Canada has been the so-called cobalt bomb . These bombs, which are therapeutical units used against cancer, are still in the experimental stages, but encou- raging reports have been received from physicians and hospitals. Canada is working all out on the production of cobalt bombs to meet the many requests from hospitals at home and from a number of countries abroad. Today, Canada looks out on the world with anxiety, but also with confidence - a confidence based on the progress made by the free nations so far in the search for peace through international co-operation - on the strength and fundamental wisdom of the nations with which our destiny is so closely linked, and on the faith that in collective action under the leadership of a powerful and peaceful organization lies the best hope for the future of the word community of which we are a part.
