Canadians Should Appreciate
Present and Potential Ad-
vantages of Their Country.
"NOW" IS CANADA'S OP-
PORTUNITY.
P-
PORTUN
Over 1900 "organized radio broad-
casts throughout the country were ar-
ranged to hear Premier Bing speak in
Toronto • recently. Aside from all
political aspects of the case it is ion-
possible to estimate the great educa-
tional value such an adaptation of
Radio broadoasting is to the people of
our country.
Canada's Opportunity.
t In the present •and near future. lies
Canada's great opportunity. recuts,
e, as
Canadians, do not fully appreciate
what an extraordinary country we
have. We 'lave been used to hearing
political spellbinders tell us what a
wonderful country Canada is that we
are perhaps apt to mentally underes-
timate our good fortune and our op-
portunities. We hear so much about
the success and wealth of the country
to the south of us' that some of us are.
apt to be envious and to blink that the
United States is more fortunate
than
Canada.
Our Greatest Asset.
The people make any country and
we fn Canada are thrice blest in hav-
ing a predominating Anglo-Saxon na-
tion. We have yet no great polyglot
Population to create racial difficulties
and this is perhaps• Canada's greatest
asset. The United States has about
10 million negroes and 80 million
foreign or other than Anglo-Saxon in-
habitants. Canada has no Negro prob-
lem and a very small percentage of
Eurapea S. The United States has
about 82% trouble making alien peo-
ple, while we have over 80% of pure
Anglo-Saxon and old French-Canadian
inhabitants, Due to this, probably,
more than anything else, is our great
strength and national vitality. Our.
future depends on our ma4.ntainiug this
preponderance of Anglo-Saxon and
French Canadian blood.
