TE-(2feIE; Natural Resources Bniletin. The Natural Reeoutces Intelligence Service of the, Department of the In- terior at ,OttaWa, Seas :- Canada on July 1st again celebratad her coming into being as a Confedera- lion. Great progress has been made in the 68 year e slime this, great event., and to -day the people of Canada, and particularly those who have been our leaders in government, finance, agri-ir culture and industry, may well feet proud of the world position Canada is talCdanngaidais natural resources are be- coming increasingly irriprtant as one looks over the field of industry, Any review of domestic or foreign trade em- phasizes the fact that, in the several classifications into which our trade returns are divided, the primary and basic sources of supply are the lands, the fisheries, the mines and the for- ests. These, with our developed and potential waterpowers as prime mov- ers in the industry, constitute the foundation upon which the Canadian people ,hope to place Canada in the forefront among nations. But what of the Canadian people. 'While all due credit must be given to our natural resources, we must admit that they existed centuries peior to the advent of our ancestors. They existed, but of what value were they? Biographies of early explorers all bear witness to the luxuriant forests on all sides; David Thompson, in his diary . of his trip from the HudsoniBay to the Pacific coast in 1801, tell of the coal outcroppings on the banks of -the South Saskatchewan river, which he followed on his return trip; the fish- ing banks on the Atlantic coast were attracting fishermen from Europe centuries before the birth of Canada. It remained, however, for the early pioneers and those who followed in their footsteps to make these natural resources valuable. While not in any degree underesti- mating the value of our natural re- sources in the upbuilding of our coun- try, let us also remember the obliga- tion we are under to the voyageur, the trapper, the prospector, the lum- berman, the surveyor, the frontier farmer, the civil engineer, and other sturdy but humble and, in many cases, unknown heroes who, by their deeds of daring, suffering, privation and hardship, carved out of the forest and prairie the foundation on which states- men and financiers afterwards build - ed this country of ours. These early pioneers are gone, few are even re- membered, but their work remains. Canadians of to -day, in looking back- wards, should do honor, even -though much overdue, to the brave men who opened up this Canada of ours. Canadians are proud of their coun- try, proud of its record in peace, and in war, contented and happy, and eager that others share this condition with them. They are determined, however, that those who share this heritage shall be such as will appre. a-serS date its manyisdvantages and be pre- pared to adapt themselves to their country and its conditions. Canada has still much pioneering work to be done in every line of activity; the field is large and workers are need -ed' but not needed at the expense of lowering the standard already attained by her people.
