Frazier Jelke & Company, well-known New York brok- of the dominion investment field and a great deal of useful general information concerning our country. It is appropriately captioned, "The Land cf Promise." Here is a sample quotation from the New York firm's summing up of the Canadian situation: "Canada is growing in importance as a land of opportunity for American investment. Since the war, Canada and the United States have developed their mutual interests in finance, in Industrial production, and in commercial intercourse. This interdependence is more marked than that of any two countries which are not related politically. "Investments of the United S.tatea in Canada since 1920 are estimated to have exceeded $2,500,000,000 and are now said to be greater than those of all other countries combined. Canadian investments In the United States are estimated approxicately $750,000,000 compared with $118,000,-000 in countries of the British Empire, ether than Canada." Sometimes it takes an outsider to see tilings that those in the heart of a country or a community fail to appreciate. This has often been tha case so far as Canada i3 concerned. Happily, however, Canadians are now showing a keener appreciation of th« greatness of their own nation, and l\ <g for Canada that thia is so. ,
