future prosperity Outlook Bright Theres probably no one in Canada who knows Canadas overall business position better than Hon Howe min ister of trade and commerce This week he gave a very in teresting review of general busi ness conditions and declared that in his opinion the outlook for is favorable He pointed out that had been a year of record develop ment and expansion and gave his forecast that it would be equally as good in The world situation still is serious but there is a more hope ful feeling in regard to peace than existed a year ago True we have many difficult problems here at home and throughout a troubled and anxi ous world but basically Canada is in good shape and well able to take advantage of the oppor tunities that lie ahead and to surmount any obstacles that may arise As Canadians we have much for which to be truly thankful and we have every reason to have confidence that as a nation we are well equipped to meet every challenge of the future With that confidence and
