ADVOCATES BRITISH CAPITAL DEVELOP
 BRITISH INTERESTS

We think it well to direct attention 10 a movement now In progress and likely to grow in strength. We refer to the steady acquisition by American capital of the immeasur- able resources of the province of British Columbia. Very large Inter ests in our timber lands and sawmils are held by American capitalists
 The same is true of our mineral wealth. It is American capital large ly that opens our mines, erects our smelters, and, as a result, the pro- ducts of our ores are to a very great extent taken to the United States to be refined; the sale of them is con- trolled in the United States and the profits go into the pockets of Ameri- can investors. American capitalists have learned to reahze the vast wealth of this Western province and they are setting about acquiring it. The six degrees of the British Columbia sea- board constitute the only part of the Pacific coast lhttoral from Cape Horn
