i n the export trade has been remarkable, and only gives a further demonstrat
i o n of the character of the leaders who arc behind the industrial life of
Canada. 1 These men saw the opportunity, grasped it with characteristic courage,
and the whole of Canada reaped the benefit. The recent depression
cannot be termed anything more than a corrective readjustment. Everything
has only a certain capacity, when the rate of production exceeds the rate of
consumption there must be a cessation of production. These are age old
economic principles which the world seemed to have lost sight of in the last
five years under the impression that age old rules had become obsolete. Soon
Canada w i l l be embarked upon a greater period of prosperity. The country
is young, it has a hardy people, and it has courageous, forceful and farseeing
i n d u s t r i a l leaders."
A notable feature of the present process of adjustment is that it will be
regarded in the future days as a period of great importance, in the laying of
foundations, the beginnings of many new lines of prosperity in Canada.
The significance of the present trends, apart from world conditions that
Canada cannot control, is seen in a number of ways, and one of the important
indications is that of the recently multiplied enquiries from American and
B r i t i s h manufacturing firms for factory sites in Canada. During the last few
months this ha* been very marked, and the last few weeks have been especially
l i v e l y , showing that Canada with titr untold natural resources, is at last
c o m i n g to the front and promises ( o be the leading country before many years
have past. Let us one and all put our shoulders to the wheel and endeavor
w i t h each push to help i n the onward march. This we can do by asking for
Canadian made products and insisting that we get what we ask for.
In closing I would like to thank all the Conveners for their excellent
work. I h i v e sent out 530 letters or pamphlet* besides answering the requests
for i n f o r m i t i o n . and would ask those who had to wait for answers to be
lenient. Thank* are also due to M r . Ashcnhurst for his ever ready help, to M r .
S t m c h b u r y for his kindness in m a i l i n g some of the letters, and to M r . M c K ec
for his unceasing help at all times. A l l these have been a great help and I
appreciate it.
It would be a great help not only to me in my work but to each new
Convener, if the r e t i r i n g Convener would keep all her literature and information
and pass it on to her successor.
