"In Canada you know far better than I what your problems are; but even as I regard them 3,000 miles away, I can see as the years go by that the highest test of statesmanship will be called for in_ reconciling the interests of agriculture and industry, or reconciling the interests of East about Canada. 80. you cannot wonder that things in Europe sometimes are puzzling to those who have the good fortune to'live in a country whére you can make a fresh start, and do not forget that, . ©. v "The problems are going to be ex- traordinarily difficult, and they will be made difficult by the rapid advance in science that. is bringing . people closer together than they ever were in the past, and is causing the older civilizations to impinge directly on those who Have not their civilization and culture in & way that has not happened before.

Tha American commission, headed by M¢, Hoover, went ahead and made its re« port without waiting for them. The Canadian commission, by proceeding more deliberately, will be free of any possible implication of precipitate action. The truth probably is that Canada is' not quite ready to commit herself to the undertaking. Its chief advo- cates are on this side of the border, particularly in the States of the Mid- dla West, anxious for cheaper trans- portation to the sea.
