Canada is full of people who are determined to save Canada by the passing of resolutions. On every hand we see people urging some- body else to do something. So far nobody has announced a program he has set for himself. The great Canadian slogan always begins: "Why can't we'--do this, that, or the other thing? : Why can't we drag in a million people ; why can't we develop our mineral resources; why can't we manufacture our pulpwood in- stead of shipping it out of the country? Any time ther isa crisis speech, and a resolution is passed urging somebody else to do some- thing. Pulsating patriots at the Dom- inion convention of Boards of Trade of Winnipeg wanted fifty- millios a year spent for immigra- tion: The meeting overlooked the fact that we are not holding our own people now. Nobody got up to enquire how we would employ so many new immigrants when they come, seeing that there isn't enough work in Canada to keep at home the finished product of our High Sghools, or even our public schools. Out of 22 boys that left an Ontario High School two years ago, 15 are now in the U.S.A. We think the Winnipeg « convention should allow somebody to spend a little of that $50,000,000 to keep Canadian school boys in Canada. The salvation of Canada must be a matter of idividual responsi- bility with Canadians. Things are not going to be fixed by resolu- tions. If we have not work here for aur own people, we can't hold them. There is just one remedy: To 1 create more jobs in Canada. li we ; have 1000 more jobs for men, we national development. We deserve men spring into the breach with a- If every community will do its own thinking and improve itself, the sum total will be a prosperous Canada. We have in Ontario the finest China clay deposits in the world. The Ontario government issued a report on them some years ago, and then left them to be "re-discovered" this year again. etal, at present suffering from lack of tonnage. Why can't we com- pine these and build a big pottery city there? Why can't we make the world's dishes and doorknobs up north? No reason on earth, except our own lack of enterprize. We pay tribute to Germany for potash and pass up our own limit- less supply contained in Ontario rocks. A professor has demon- strated the commercial success of the process, but government regu- lations won't let him market it. And Germany needs the money. We ship out our pulpwood; we get $12, the Lusinesslike American turns it into paper worth $go. About 80 per cent of the $78 goes for wages, it is stated. We grow the finest Tobacco in the world in Ontario--we won 1st prize at Wembly last year and now the big buyers are after us. We could make millions out of the husiness, but we are too broad minded to put our growers on an equal footing with U.S. growers. We give the U.S. the best of it. The larger outlook must't be in- terfered with. The larger outlook induces us to import farm produce we could raise ourselves. We are so broad- "minded that we give the farmers of the U.S. the best of it by hav- ing a tariff only half that of the U.S on much of the stuff we could TOW. 1 Let us be frank with ourselves: [we lack imagination or enterprize. 1 We fuss with every imaginable fad except things that count in We have millions of tons of feld spar in our rocks, unlimited water power, and lots of lignite.
