He usually spends some time at Goderich on a fishing .trip. In an interview with Senator’ Tom he makes the following observations which will be read with interest: “Since coming back to visit the old home town last week I have been asked frequent questions par­ ticularly regarding the depression in the United States, and what hope we have for a return to normal business conditions. During the four years of the World Wai’ seventeen billions United Natio’ns process wealth, ed heights. History gives us many evidences that Prosperity is a fickle goddess. , ■From 1919 to 19’29 we were liv­ ing in a fool’s paradise. Everyone seemed to think.it would last for­ ever. We drifted away from the fun­ damentals and the essential values of things. The wild revelry went on and by the time the crash came the majority had lost the propei’ per­ spective of essential life and mater­ ial things. A re-adjustment and the day of reckoning has come, but a nation still strong, young and virile will come out of it—with an enlarg­ ed experience, for the future already we are building for future. Our business methods be re-vamped, our banking will be strengthened and we have gained a keener perception of the vital factors cedure. And again we fence is the only When will we ____ __ __ It seems to me the re-adjustment is about complete and- we are ready to go. The chief occupation of the aver­ age American is business and has learned well by his.re'cent perience. - The .present lull in business Canada, I think, is largely .a reflex action of the the conditions that prevail over in my country, and -will respond v,ery readily with improved conditions over there. As one who has had some exper­ ience and who still has the welfare of Cana.da at heart my nope is that you will hold fast to your insti­ tutions as they are to-day and to your present political economy. As regards the proposed Srt.Law- rence Waterways proposition, I do not think we can over-estimate very much the value this developement will be to both our countries. The wealth and happiness of this North American continent still rests upon our internal developement and the Almighty has blessed us with this great chain of inland seas and it rests with us to increase their usefulness. I am enjoying my visit here and the old town looks as charming as ever, especially the Tew remaining familiar faces. and that will laws will of economic pro­ find that exper- teacher. come out of it?
