Mr. Weston urged the need of a broader outlook, of a closer per- ` ;sonal interest by all the citizens in, municipal, provincial and national af- fairs and of a.greater~-feeling of tol- varied parts which compose this virile I "young nation. In the present outlook he found little` to dishearten but much to encourage patriotic` Can- adians. _ _ - I ` `Canada .today stands well in com- parison with other nations, said` Mr. I Weston. Though,we hear expressions of discouragement and realize that industry is nding it hard tp re-estab- lish itself, our position i's fortunate compared Iwiththat of many other; peoples. `Let us remember our! strength economically and our re- sources. and take courage in what we have achieved by way of developing our agricultural, mineral and other resources. Canada is nancially a new country. Yet has made marvel- lous growth. In 1919 its wealth was valued at sixteen billions as compar- ed with two billions in 1911. `Al- though thewar calledforimmense ex- penditures, the loss to .a considerable. extent has been made up by.the stim- ulation of food production and manu- facturing. I see no reason to be discouraged `over the possibilities Canada holds for this generation,. declared Mr. Weston.
