the greatest system of inland water-
ways in the world; the largest iron
ore resources in the world; we have
one fresh water port, Montreal, which
handles more shipping in seven
months of each year than New York
does in twelve months; at. Winnipeg
we have the world's greatest freight.

waiting for us in Alberta than has
already been taken from all the fields
in the world combined up to this

Asia, is it not reasonable that the
people of those lands should view us
