Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared that the "twentieth century be- longed to Canada," and he ushen- ed in a period of expansion and prosperity which is remembered as "Canada's Golden Age." He did not anticipate the two great international confiicts which have intervened. But those conflicts are now behind us and Canada can yet fulfili the prophecy of that great statesman. We need such men of vision, of faith and cour- ageous enterprîse today. The vast empty spaces of this Dominion are yeanning for hu- man inhabitants, and even in the settled regions there is ample room for many times the present population. We are for ever be- ing reminded that Canada needs foreign markets for her surplus pnoducts, and that is very true, but it is true largely because our home market-population-is too small. By means of an immigra- tion movement we can enlarge our home market and save the cost of transportation. More peo- pie will mean more consumers for the products of our farms and factories, more business for our stores and commercial institu- tions, and more freight and pas- sengers for our great and under- worked railway systems. Canada has the room and the resources for the maintenance of a great population, and it is sheer selfishness and short-sightedness to shut our gates against the im-' migration of energetic people who have no room or opportunity for enterprise in the overcnowded countries of the Old World.. The heritage which Canadians now en- joy was created and passed on to them by their immigrant ances- tors, chiefly from the British Isles. They were an adventur- ous and hard-working people and they suffered ahl kinds of hard- ships cheerfully. Canada needs to be refreshed by that same pio- neer spirit today if we are to be- come a nation worthy of our great herîtage. Federation of Agri.

Canada's Golden Age By Lewis Milligan Canada is one of the hangest countries in the worhd, and yet it is one of the smalhest nations in the world. With a territory stretching over two thousand miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and an average bneadth of about 500 miles of livcd-on land from the United States barder northward, this Dominion bas a population of only eheven and a haîf million people. Behgium is one of the smalhest countnies in the wold,-it could be tucked away in anc corner o! Ontario, and yet it bas a popula- tion equal ta that o! the whole o! Canada. Great Britain, with aa population o! about 45 millions, is much smaller than the Province o! Ontario, which is inhabited by less than 4 million people. I have made these camparisans in order ta show, how big and, at the same time, how litthe this Canada reahly is. When a Can- adian is speaking boastfuhhy of Canada hie is usualhy thinking of its vast territory. When I arnived in this country as an immigrant 35 yeans aga the first thing that impressed me was its spacious- ness, as compared with Enghand. and the great distances one couhd travel without seeing mucb sign of human habitation. Political orators and preachers in those days used to rhapsodize on the vastness of this Dominion. Begin- ning with Cape Breton, they wouhd sweep in imagination across the farm lands and "virgin forests" of the eastern provinces, pause to admire the Prairies, "chothed with golden grain," "the granany of the Empire!" and finish up with a pen- onation on the magnificent sun- sets aven the Rockies. At that time thene were about 7 millian peaple in Canada, and it must be said to the credit o! those oratanical politicians and prcach- crs that they had a vision of those wîde spaces being popuhatcd by millions o! eager and industniaus immigrants !rom the Old Worhd. There were no little Canadians in those days. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was a man o! vision, and one o! the finst things he did when he came ta power in 1896 was ta ap- point Clifford Sifton as Minister o! the Interior. Sifton at once went ta work ta arganize the first great immigration movement in Canada. He established immigra- tion offices aIl over Great Britain and in Scandinavia, and he stant- cd a vîgaraus campaign which resulted in an increase of 1,800,000 in population durîng the decade 1900-10 from immigration alone. This figure was the main factor in the gain of 34.17 per cent which the total population o! Canada registered in those ten years, and PAGE TwELvE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY, APRIL 18th, 1946 l Grcq%
