 DIAN DEVELOPMENT^ 



The problems involved in the develop- 

 ment of Canada are not to be compared 

 with those of any other country in the 

 world. Her remoteness from the center of 

 imperial government and her close social and 

 business association with the friendly neigh- 

 bor to the south, who of necessity can not 

 understand her relations to the mother coun- 

 try, have not served to disturb her poise. 



To develop, round out, fuse and nation- 

 alize Britain has taken two thousand years. 

 In the making of that portion of Greater 

 Britain, the Briton, the Piet, the Scot, the 

 Roman, the Saxon, the Jute', the Angle, the 

 Norman and even the Spaniard, since the 

 time of the Armada, have been fused, whilst 

 the Jew has furnished an increasingly im-

 Nor has Germany failed to make her con- 

 tribution to our highest social and goTem- 

 mental strata. The facilities, however, for 

 rapid nation-building have increased by 

 leaps and bounds, of which the chief is ease 

 of transport and communication. 



In the United States, the world has had 

 the opportunity to see the creation of a 

 nation in a day, where the scores of ele- 

 ments have been garnered in the four cor- 

 ners of the earth from those countries 

 whose centuries of growth have brought 

 overcrowding and in some have given birth 

 to intolerable conditions. 



In Canada, the same conditions obtain 

 as are to be encountered in the United 

 States, with the difference, however, that 

 the Anglo-Saxon dominates, British tradi-
