These ai-o ai1l an essential background, the stage-props, as it were. What Êbe into nation - building i, PEOPLEC. A thousand years ago Canad'a possessed the same re- sources; geographically and phy- sically the Canada af taday is the Canada of a thausand or- ten thou- sand years ago.. What is flot tho same, fundamentally, is the chai- acter of the people who inhabit it. And it la those people who determine whether a country or a nation is progressive or back- ward, moral and high-minded or the opposite, intelligent or stupid. It is they wbo determine whethor a country shoula be a compact, agreeable wbole, or a jangling aggregation ai discontented, quar- rolsorne mon and wamon. ]bWsrImInatIon-ýA~pparefl One ai the nobler phrases ln the American Declaration ai In- dependence sets forth man's in- alienable right ta "Lufe, Liberty and the Pursuit af Happiness."

That la a matter ta whlch. 1 shaIl shortly return. It ha. some bearing an iwhat I propose ta say because of late I have been im- pressed - I might say, as a mat- ter of iact, quite DE-pregsed - by evidences af Canada's disin. tegration inta insular, self-vont- ained and, in many cases, mutual. ly hostile graups. What ln a Canadiant Some months ago I was in a city af Western Canada, llstening to a discussion on a particular job of work ln whichI was ln- terested. One rather truculent citizen arase and asked' pointedly what - and let me put this in quatation marks - what "these foreigners from the East" had ta do with this particular under- taking. Mark that - "'these for- eigners from the East." I may say that the somewhat guttural tones ai the gentleman who pro- tested rather indicated that he himself was flot many years re- maved from the port of embark- ation at Hamburg or-Danzig! But bis observation, delivered, I may say, not as a jest, went unchal- lenged. 1 and a colleague af mine from Montreal were, to that littie group, «"foreigners from the East." Naw, Jet me tell you, that that bit in deeply. My colleague - an Englishman by birth - had resided in Canada for 38 years. He was married ta a Canadian, and bis children were Canadians. In that respect his circumstances paralleled my own very closely except for the fact that my own birtbplace was over the his from England. "What is a Canadian?" he asked me, following this assembly. "When do I become a Canadian? Or do I never become one?" I may add that ho, like myseli, was a Canadian war veteran, who hacl fought and been woundod in bis country's service. And be add- ed: "If, after 38 years I'm flot yet a Canadian, what is the pas- tion af thoso unfortunate people who, displaced from their homes in Europe by the war, have been brought to Canada in the hope and expectation of establishing themselves and finding that peaco and happiness that have been denied ta them ini their awn1 lands?"/ Nabady Does Anythlng One may go further, for as one ýravels in Canada one is struck Frcibly by the continued separ-. tion of those racial elements' )ther than Anglo-Saxon fram thet nain stream af Canadian life. OneE nay ask - and, indeed, oner V[UST ask - what of those.a troups? Ukrainians, Fin-s, Jugo- lavs, Czecks, Italians, Poles and ao n. When do tboy become .anadians? The question leads naturally ta iother: "What are Canadians ti hemselvos doing ta turn these t] iverse groups af peaples intop 'anadians; what are they doing e o imbue thom with tie ideals of 'anadianlsm, with that spiri9a ational pride ln Candin9 eainC, ýhievement which they thom-h ilves possess, and wlth that spirit ýfrighteousness that exalteth a ition? " I fear the answor ta that one is:À Very littie." Canadians in the le ýast have not bestirrod thomselves ai ,er-much ta welcome those i rn-Anglo-Saxon elements Who c( ave been attracted ta this coun- t, ry, nar bas anything at al 0 raisewarthy been done ta instili a it them the spirit af Canada, a 'e eiders are ignored; the t >unger people are left ta acquire bi 7hat they can af the Canadian pirit in play with other cbildren p aso .d fi-rn what they can learn in t ffool. But what elso is done? w Canadian Tradit.ion Ilgnoi ed e The resuit af that neglect Is Io ither frightening. In thase areas SCanada which have attracted etnsive foreign Lgraups one sees- Relief -;ý-- rpars- 1871 ta satlsiy the social urge. Americans - and Proud ai It We frequontly scof at what W9 cansider the extravagances ai oui American friends, their articulai( dlaims ta evorything ai the besi for the United States ai Amoric. and their almost fanatical worshir ai their national flag. We scail in a superiar sort af way, at thE spectacle ai childron standing by the flagstaff in the school-yard in the mornings, and glowing witl pride as the Stars and Stripes are braken ta the breeze. But dan't let's laugh toa heartily; perbaps we may find that the Iaugh's on us. For those childi-en, right fi-rn kindergarten, are taken into the heart and saul ai Arnerica. What America means, and aught o mean ta tbem, is impressed early in their yaung minds. At no stage in their if e thereaiter are they left in doubt as ta their Arnericanism. I remember some time agc naking a purchase in a shaddy- oakîng fruit-store in Brooklyn, te owner af which had been i- th United States for littie mare than five years. His English týraa poor, for bje was a Sicilian; but averything else about bim was genuinely American. Ho had beor 'iven bis American Citizenship ertificato that day - and ho was otting everybody know that lie fas naw "an American." Porhaps wo could take a leai - or a few leaves, out ai the ý,merican book. At ail events, et's admit that bowever extrav- igant American mothods may be n respect ta instiilling love ai auntry into their newcamers - hese rnethods work. Do ours? 3r do wo have any methods at il. l'ni afraid my thesis is that TO have none, or, at least, few hat are at ail effective; and it is; )ecause ai that that I arnd- laring the inci-easing insulatioi t foreign gi-aups who have muce o contribute ta Canada, -rnuch ith which Canadian lufe can be ýnriched - if oniy we would al- w thern ta do so. Groups Set Selyes Apart Our disposition is too aiten ta )rget that those new Canadians s we aather unctuously cail them re fellow-humans, with ail the itues, the longings and the as- irations, the gi-egai-iousness and ae social hungor - the desi-e for ompanionship- that are basic ithe human make-up. Thea'e are some parts ai Canada bei-e this sepai-ation bas gone ta ch exta-eres that - at ieast it as boen told me in thase ai-oas emselves - that those other icial graups are now entlreiy idifferent about wbether Canad- ins want ta mingle with thern or Dt. They have re-established oi- awn way ai life - a paie nitation, pei-haps, of what they 're accustamed ta in Europe; id they do not naw cai-e a rap hether Canadians recognize oi- flore them. They bave their vni halls, their. own-clubs, their in social evenings, picnics, con- rts, dances and sa an. And ýey do nat particuiarly welcorne ýe "intrusion" ai Canadians or nadianisrn into their affaii-s. Wbat makes this situation al e moi-e, distressing Is that it ises fi-rn samething entirely intrary ta the Canadian nature. oe Canadian people are a kindly, ýspitable, thoughtful and uni- mly courteous people. They e generaus ai heart, and they e praud ai Canada. These talities ai heart and mind, char- eristic ai this people from Cape otaon - or should I now say,1 :n the Argentia Peninsula ai cwfaundland - ta Vancouver and, make It ail the moi-e in-1 mprehensible that the conditians have saught ta outiine should ve developed.
