Look into the Future Taidng a long look into the future, Dr. Sidney Smith predicts that Canada's two powerful neighbors, the United States and the S'oviet Union, will still be in business and will still be strong a century from now, In an address before the Royal Vanpire Club in Montreal, the University of Toronto president said: "If we look ahead one hundred years it is safe to pre- -dict that the United States will, be there, canwl,a's neigh- bour over a back fence that is four thousand miles in length. She will still be a world leader, and our relations with her will still be one of the most important factors in our national life. It has been suggested that the tide of Americanization is too strong to be resisted, and that as the years go on, we in Canada will become, to all intents and purposes, an economic and cultural satellite of the U.S.A. Whether that will be our fate, or whether we will grow as a strong, independent neighbour, depends on our- selves. Personally I have no doubt about the answer to that question. "We have another next-door neighbour, to the north- west—the Soviet Union, We do not know this neighbour very well, although her territories are very close to ours and although there are great similarities between our two countries. Each has its mountains and prairies and its wide range of climate, and each embraces a large part of the Arctic world. Isooking'beyond the international tensions of the present, I think it is safe ,again to predict that, one hundred years from now, Russia will still be there and will still be strong. It seems likely that the development of the far north will have proceeded apace; and that communica- tions will be such that Russian ambassadors will fly straight across the Arctic to Ottawa instead of via Berlin, Paris, New York and Montreal. "When we know our Russian neighbour better, we shall understand a great deal about the non-Western world that we do not understand now. The historian, A. J. Toynbee, has reminded us in his latest book that, from the point of view of Russia and the Orient, the Western nations have been aggressors throughout modern history. Russia was invaded overland by Western armies in 1610, in 1709, in 1812, in 1915, and in 1941. In that perspective, it is possible to apprehend some of the reasons why the Russians distrust the good intentions of the West. In- deed it _would be surprising if they did not continue to idistrust us for some years to come. If the Russians fail to welcome Westerners with open arms, their history does :much to explain their hesitation. "Tor -the sake of future generations, we will do well to try our best to understand Russia. We should, in the name of Christian decency, go half-way in meeting every overture .of friendship. We must work out a modus vivendi with the Soviet Union, and we should not expect her to conform to our ideas of how she should run her own .affairs, any more than we would accept such dictation -from her. Russia has had a centralized, authoritarian govF -ernment since the fourteenth century A.D.; it is scarcely reasonable for us to expect any other kind of government there in the near future. In this area of our external affairs, above all, we should beware of taking a myopic view." * Go South. Young Mon 'In spite of all the flattering things that have been written lately about Canada, the land of opportunity, the last frontier and the new world power, it is a peculiar fact that a good number of our younger citizens seem to feel that-we are .anything but that. Judging, at least from the number of them who go to the States. Canada may be the land of opportunity to many of the displaced persons of Europe, but to a lot of her own peo- ple, the United States is the land of opportunity, the country of high wages, low prices and milk and honey generally. Even some of our new Canadians look upon Canada as merely the first lap in a roundabout journey, a sort of Ellis Island where you wait for your number to come up for entry into the States. It's still a free country, and for those who feel our neighbour to the south has more to offer perhaps it's a good idea. And while we feel that there is more to living than the question of how many gadgets one can buy with a pay check, others evidently feel differently about it. At any rate, as long as people in the United States continue to pay higher wages than their Canadian counterparts, and as long as there are people whose values are conceived solely on a monetary standard there seems to be little any- one can do about it. There is one place, however, where we feel the govern- ment should step into the picture. In certain highly skill- ed fields requiring university training and post graduate work, the government, in order to secure trained help, has subsidized the education of a number of technicians. Young people, some of them veterans, have been able to obtain university training, postgraduate courses, even doctor's degrees through subsidized education, The answer may be in restricting passports of those 'who have received subsidized education, or it may be in paying wages comparable to those south of the border. Whatever the answer it would seem foolish to expect Canadian taxpayers to provide trained personnel for Am- erican industry. ratr 4114Itt 61X1= .fre (1:411ttS Published at Wingharri, Ontario :Wenger Brothers, Publishers, W.
