I A fth factor exceptionally favor- able to Canada is the extent to which the resources of the United States are developed. Canada s' slow pro- gress inythe past has mainly resulted ' from the existence of the Great Lakes and a stretch of country of several ' hundred -miles in extent, consisting mainly pf-rock,and water. which ef- fectually cut `off the farming districts V of eastern Canada from .those of the western states. As- agricultural de- . velopmentproceeded west this 'geo- graphical obstacle forced the pioneer farmers of Canada into the _United States.` When railway .extensions and railway `economies made it pos- y sible and protable `to raise `agricult- - ural produce `in Illin_ois and in west- ern` states,".the pioneer farmers `of Canada _;s'old- their--holdings in their` -own `eountryysand moved into tlxe,;n_ew districts thex.Unit ed States..

' - `IA , 1' I 1--r .. on up . I A fourth factor of great moment and weight` is the world s special! need of new sources of food supplies] at the present time and the high prices that are now current for food of all descriptions. This condition. of affairs is mainly the -result of the great expenditures of capital .upon the South African and. the Russo- Japanese w,'ars, an expenditure which prevented for about seven, -years the normal rate "of capital outlay for the, .`purpose of` developing the food sup-. plies of the new countries. Inasmuch as Canada is one of the most Df0miS1 ing fields of food production, the shortage in the world's food supplies and the high `prices pffoodstuffs are having and must continue to have,`- a greatsinuence-in stimulating thel rapid settlement of the new agrifi cu_lAtural districts, fal- I, you up It wllqlvllt I Ailthirii factorof greatimport is the ability and farsightedness of -Canada's. statesmen. They recognize that the essentialthingto be worked for is to open up the country and to admit population "to the natural wealth . All the energies of the states-g menof the entire-country. Dominion and Provincial, are at the moment directed to the extension of railways. This is the platform upon which the ministries. have beenreturned to of-l ce and it isthis policy they are pledged to carryout. Everything possible is being done to encourage and to stimulate railway construction both in prairie districts and between the prairies and the sea coast, east, west, and north. .natu_wral {ealt.h-agri;cultural~, Vtnineral, vforestral and p'isca`to rial.. .2` The great-' est of thesenatural resources is the vast tracts of unileveloped and virgin- lands that aremerely waiting for far.- m'ers to produce a- supply of food- stuifssuicient to support a great. population; - ` - ' The second_ factor .making for growth is the willi'ngness"of _ Great Britain to nd all. the capital that Canada can pro'tably- employ. and to supply it at a low rate of interest in comparison with the rates of in- terest, usually required from "young countries. Every man of business is aware of the advantage to a country of a banker in a. position to supply. capital freely for development pur- pose and the special advantage of possessing a banker who will supply capital in practically unlimited quan- tities at a lower rate of` interestthan he charges tolother countries. This is the situation to-day: British in-. vestors are supplying capital freelv for permanent investment in_ Canada at preferential rates of_ interest. Hence no diiculty is likely to arise in securing the capital required to` develop and to market Canada's nat- ural wealth. ' i 1 I 1 . The primary.. factor; Amaking for prfogress is` the possession by Canada of ` great _ undeveloped resources of .natural weal-th--agri`_cultural', ~ mineral, fan`-eletral sma. qsianaenaaal TL- ........... . :1 .' = Speejiaif, sfsos9missi9n9*->{t; eiri%itd pbtht e;svm~s an Aeaszain Cana_;`glaf7'i and: am convinced _tha't,%_`thisV country, has entered upon a " iong_W period_ `prosperity; From time` to t'i't"n'e' there "will `doubtless he checks to the prosperity, but these.

Somewhat similar attractions are held out to tradesmen and others employed in towns and villages. Upon the construction of a railway] and the erection of a station what are known as townsite lots can be pur- chased from the railway company at practically nominal gures. The, tradesmen who purchases and erects some kind of building usually sees the value of his land immensely in- crease in value in the course of a few years. Indeed, it is not too much to say that persons dwelling in towns and investing their savings in town lots are rapidly growing rich. Shop assistants, clerks, typists, machinists and others also are investing their savinszs in a similiar manner.
