The war, too, was a great stimulus to her industrial development and to her foreign trade, and she is doing her utmost to capitalize the advantages gained. That she is succeeding is shown by the faet that her total trade, imports and exports, for 1920 was a new re- cord in the amount of business trans- acted or $40,000,000 more than the total for 1917, which was previously the record year, and more than $400, 000,000 in excess of the 1919 fig- ures. Imports for 1920 were $1,336,911,000, as against $941, 013,000 the previous year, and | ex- ports totaled $1,805,000. The in- crease in the value of exports from $1,294,830,000 in 1919 to' $1,302,- 805,000 last year, maintained In spite of a marked decline in prices, of Canada's export business. Twenty Years ago Canada's exports were only $59,963,000, and last year they were more than tweaty times that amount, a remarkable record for a country the population of which to- day is under 10,000,000 people. Canada's population at the begin- ning of the twentieth century was the same as that of the United States at the beginning of the nineteenth, and Canada claims that as the nine- teenth belonged to the Unitéqd: States the twentieth will belong to Canada, The United States is already well set- tiled, and {ts natural resources have been in a large measure ex- ploited. Canada, when its vast area is considered, has a small popula- tion, and but a comparatively small beginning has been made in the de- welopment of its natural resources. The fisheries, being the easiest, show big values each year, but Canada's potential wealth in agriculture, for- est products, minerals and water power has only been scratched on the surface. Recently Col. John 8. Dennis, Chief Commissioner of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway, referring to one of Canada's uncashed assets, stated that Canada still has within fifteen miles of existing railway lines a total of 30,000,000 acres of good agricultural land owned by the Gov- ernment, railways and individuals. Inasmuch as the farm products of Western Canada have won highest honors in international competitions repeatedly, the bulk of this lana will be sold and become a wealth pro- ducer in the future. Canada's popu- lation has doubled in twenty-eight years and her experts anticipate 'a minimum increase of 500,000 per year until the four Western pro- vinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia--now inhabited by about 2,500,000 -- will have a total population of 10,000, 000. Alberta has 15 per cent. of the world's known supply of eoal, 8,000,000,000 tons of which are semi-anthracite or high carbon bi- tuminous. The bituminous coal of Nova Scotia is estimated to last 700 years. Vancouver Island has been producing coal for sixty years, and ® coal seam on the Mackensie river, N.W.T., has been burning since 1789, when it was first seen by Alexander Mackenzie. Cankda has water energy equal to nearly 20,000,000 horsepower, only one-tenth of which is now being utilized, although hydro-electric de- velopment is progressing steadily. Bhehas a greater railway mileage per capita than any other country, one mile for 234 persons. There are three transcontinental lines, totaling about forty thougand miles. Her ocean steamshi on the Atlantic trade with Great Britain, South Africa, South America, the West In- dies, New Zealand and Australia. Her. ships from Pacific ports make regular trips to and from China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and other ports.. The War gave new life to shipbuilding in Canada and the Government has built many steel ships ranging from 2,600 to 10,500 tons. Typical of the growth of'her foreign trade is the fact that exports to South Africa in- creased from $3,200,000 in 1913 to $9,704,000 in 1919. ada is already one of the greatest wheat-producing nations and the future # full of promise for vastly inereased areas. The pulpwood industry started in 1881 with five mills. In 1918 there were 37 pulp mills, 31 paper mills and 26 combined pulp and paper mills, the total capital invested being $241,844,704. ' The market value of Canada's sea fish in 1918 'was $55,362,675, and she com one- of two of the three great sea fishing areas in the world. E Although %he mineral resources of Canada have been developed along the southern, eastern and western fringes of the Dominion only, except in the Yukon, she is rich in gold, sllvef, copper, col iron, asbestos, alckel, salt, etc. Great areas in the northern parts of the four Western provinces, as well as even greater stretches of the North: Terri- tories and the Yukon, are unexplored, so far as their mineral resources are comcerned. _ Prussia's potash deposits are esti- mated to contain equivalent to 2,000,000 metric tons of " enough to supply the world for 2,000 years at its present rate of consump- tion. = As the result of experiments Agpstralia has established -its fir plant for the productiqn of dye bases This amount was $2,639,713,000, | is a striking tribute to the soundness | jm iit ar Dr a, Six years ggo when first announcing this pneumatic tired truck, Reo said, "This Speed Wagon will revolutionize transpor- tation." Today that prophecy is a fact -- a fact known to everyone who owns or drives a motor truck. Not only has this Speed Wagon changed all methods of city delivery and invaded every field of commercial activity, but it has performed as great a service for the farmer, the stockman, rancher, orchardist and truck gardener. Having done more kinds of hauling and delivering better than any other type of motor truck, it has also revohmtionized truck design and manufacture. To such an extent is this true, it may be said that every other practical commer- i capacity is a frank copy or an imitation of this Reo-- or is obsolete. Today the world is geared to this Speed Wagon--it dominates the field regard- less of carrying capacities. . Its success has been tremendous --unpre-: cedented--because in conception, in . design, in construction, it fits every busi- ness and meets every need. Because of its wonderful qualities -- its great power, its endurance and low up- keep--its fame has spread until there are now more than 55,000 Speed Wagons in seryice throughout the world, : Wherever motor trucks are known Speed Wagon is known as the best, Price, always the lowest, is now greatly reduced, while standard equipment has been increased by "Nobby Cord Tires all around." This Speed Wagon will do your work, do it better and cheaper. Economy is amazing --satisfaction supreme.
