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.

Exhibition Marks 650th
Year of Amsterdam Life
Amsterdam, the conuneacial capital' -
