In the centre is the peace tower, fittingly framed between the vaulting lines of a shadowy arch. High up in the tower is the Memorial Chamber (upper right) in which the Altar of Remembrance stands with its great book of holy names. There is inscribed a record of all those who valiantly gave their lives tor Canada in the Great War. Below are two aerial views of Ottawa. From them it may be seen how well the city was planned. The Government buildings stand on the very summit of the hill. Beyond them a precipitous cliff falls away to the river. Canada's Immense Natural Resources Canada's mere surface area of land and water amounts to three and three Quarter million square miles. The Prairie Provinces produce yearly #Ver 6-00,000,00 bushels of wheat and bats as a contribution to the food supply supply of the world, and little more than dnc-fifth of the total 300,000,000 acres bëlieved to be fit for agricultural purposes purposes have been placed under field Crops. The remaining four-fifths are è&pable of substaining many added millions of population, and they include include an immense acreage already ripe for settlement. The forest areas stand only second to arable lands among the basic resources resources of the Dominion, and forest industries alone in fostering commer- niately one-quarter (600,000,000 acres) taining the actual extent of her com-, i$jereial forests is still far from complete; complete; at a rough estimate approximately approximately one-quarter [600,000,000 acres) Of the total area in the Dominion |l covered by forest growth. British yplumbia contains over two-thirds of |ne merchantable saw-timber of Can- ||a; the forests of the Middle West S ill probably be required to supply * local demand; two-thirds of the newsprint paper consumed in the B--4 United States is either of Canadian manufacture or is made from wood or woodpulp imported from Quebec, Ontario, Ontario, Now Brunswick and British Columbia. Columbia. Extent Unknown The actual extent of Canada's wa- terpowers, like that of its forests, has been by no means fully ascertained, but the available and developed horse power (water-power) is reckoned to be over thirty million, over four and a half million of which are already installed,. installed,. namely in Ontario and Quebec Quebec -- Ontario having the largest hydro-electric hydro-electric distribution system that is known. The figures show that Canada Canada ranks second only to Norway in the per capita utilization of waterpower, waterpower, and the average is more than three times that of the United States. There are millions of water horsepower horsepower now under development about Lake St. John and the Gatineau River River in Quebec, while the horse-power of such rivers as the Nelson and the Churchill, to say nothing of those in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, run into more millions, which will, one day, be harnessed and transmitted transmitted far and wide. Few countries possess greater coal resources than Canada, which is estimated estimated to possess one-fifth of the total amount bf coal in the world. Long before before the exceptional production stimulated stimulated by the War, the Dominion had become the World's principal source of nickel, asbestos and cobalt and an important producer of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and a number number of rarer metals. Five of the nine provinces of the Dominion share substantially substantially in mining activity, although Ontario leads her sisters by a considerable considerable margin. Rich Fisheries Not only on the Atlantic but also on the Pacific Coast and in her fresh water areas Canada possesses fisheries fisheries of exceptional value. Two of the four great sea fishing areas of the world border on the Dominion, and, in addition, her ; lakes and rivers constitute constitute approximately one-half of the fresh water of the globe while the great inland sea of Hudson's Bay, still practically untouched, can be regarded as a reserve. The Atlantic coast line measures over 5,000 miles and the Pacific shore line, over 7,000 miles; the fresh water lakes of the interior constitute an area of 220,000 square miles. Every province shares substantially substantially in the returns derivecj from fur resources, resources, and every effort is being now made through the enforcement of the trapping restrictions, the creation of sanctuaries, the supervision of the fur trade and close study of the annual annual catch, to guard against depletion. depletion. Ontario department of agriculture estimates 50,000 acres of flue-cured tobacco will be grown in Ontario this year, an increase of 15,000 acres over 1936, Lord Tweedsmuir Likes Journalists SAINT 'JOHN, N.B.--Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir ended their first official visit to the Maratimes recently. recently. In a luncheon address, Lord Tweedsmuir indicated his preferences notables, now dead, whom he had known. Among men as "builders," he selected Cecil Rhodes, Theodore Roosevelt, and Lord Cromer, William Gladstone and Herbert Asquith were mentioned as great party leaders. Of philosophic statesmen His Excellency Excellency preferred Lord Balfour arid Sir Wilfrid Laurier. "Lawrence of Arabia" was "the one soldier of genius | have Jaipyui." Of all the liêerâry ' men he had known, he thought the name of Rudyard Rudyard Kipling would be remembered the longest. "I hope I won't be considered a stiff traditionalist if I say that in my own recollection it seems to me that tho power of public speaking has de- it will not be considered high treason if I say that there is no one in Canada Canada today who speaks as Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke." "I am inclined to think that radio is taking the heart out of oratory. Yet it'will always he a great art, and perhaps . the conditions of the wire less will produce a new kind of oratory oratory where the demagogue will 1m at a discount." On the subject o-f literature, Loril Tweedsmuir said he had known many men of letters "though not, perhaps, as many as I ought, for as a class prefer journalists, who seem to me to suffer less from spiritual pride." . Canada Produces Canada leads the world in the manufacture of pulp and paper with-- an export value of over $300,000,- 000.
