concern about province lack of ability to compete with other nations In view of lis remarkable potential He expressed the belief that our greatest asset Is the people of Ontario people who should have more confidence In their own abilities Following are some excerpts from his speech on this topic I am very Impressed with people of this province reflect for a moment about the people or Ontario the farm the miners the loggers the people who have shown I remendous courage steadfastness great rock hard integrity people who have a willingness work to face difficulties Our immigrant are a source of

unons about strikes and everything else But our factory worker any group of Industrial workers in the world I think they are a very law abiding basically barren tough desolate and frequently cold existence as happened with our pioneer forefathers and happen now in many Canadian communltl Even when we do have confidence it Is frequently in terms of our response to Ihc land rather than our sense of ourselves as being Ingenious shrewd lough clever or competitive We rarely think of ourselves In those terms The immigrant communities do but strangely we do not We think of ourselves more as enduring as lasting despite the tough winter a night most of us have logo through It is a strange aspect of the Canadian cultural mentality ir we continue that way little by I II tie our industries will grind down our young people will go West our country will become more of a portion of a contlnentalist our a will be less Continued on page C7 very group of people who if given direction and
