Excerpt from Canada: Economic Position and Plans for Development
Of those portions of the globe to which its inhabitants are now turning to obtain, through development of natural resources and expansion of economic life, reparation for the damages of war, and restoration of world-wide prosperity, none holds larger promise than Canada. It is a land of tremendous possibilities, not only for those who live there and the people of the Western Hemisphere generally, but also for the world at large, stricken in many quarters as it is and oppressed everywhere by the magnitude of burdens accumulated during the last four years.
Canada enters upon the period of readjustment to a peace basis with the consciousness of having accomplished extraordinary things during the war, not the least of which was a swift passage to that stage of economic life where the basic industry of agriculture is enlarged by intensive effort, and manufacturers have advanced to an extent indicative of ability to provide beyond domestic needs. Such a result was obtained under the pressure of a demand calculated to enlist to the uttermost the skill and energy of the Dominion.
