GOVERNOR suLZER SAYS THAT

The close ties OF friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada we're dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert l.. Borden, OF Can
ada. and Governor Sulzer, at the an.
nual dinner OF the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden. have common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men OF bygone days.
Perhaps no more Instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles OF
undefepded boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect OF the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel Of one hundred years OF peace. II
matters not so much as to the form
of the outward celebration, but let us
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
