This fact has been brought home to msg all, and no matter what one may think provinecialism and party politics, eat lesson of the war will never be-flost, that our se- curity depends upon the strength and unity of the Empire, and that our duty to ourselves is to utilize all oir resources of wealth and man- power sepure complete victory. This calls for consecrated effort on the part of the administration and the elimination of persons in any 8iplace of muthority who fall to de- monstrate in every particular their votion to the cause.

Canada's industrial and trade de- velopment since the beginning of the war has been remarkable. We at home are too close to it to get the right perspective or to appreciate fully what this young country has been able to accomplish. The ree- ord is pregented in attractive form in a paper published by the Guaranty Trust Company, of New York, under the caption "A Record That .is a Promise." A summary of this article may not be out of place. To Canada the war has meant self- realization. In response to the needs of her Allies customary activiting have been intensified and enlarged. New undertakings have been pro- moted. From coast to coast the spirit of enterprise has been stimulated, until now, after nearly four years of war, she stands forth fully cognizant of all the inference to be drawn from her remarkable achievements in finance and industry, That she should provide generous. Iy from her vast stores of food and raw materials for the sustenance of the Mother Country was to be ex- pected.

Many of the new titles and distine- tions are being conferred in connec- tion with war services, but, in the army, the fact will not escape obser- vation that the new Order in the main serves the purpose of providing war distinctions for men who served at a long and safe distance from the front of war.
