had helped to evolve In Elmira, \. Y.
A home building corporation was or

room houses were erected after raising
$4,000 capital. The houses sold for
s2,650 and $3.50, at the rate of 5000

ton and general prosperity 1t would
bring.

of the Chamber of Commerce. the

 Grain, cattle, sheep donkeys were taken away. The church bells were lowered from their places and sent to do their pious duty in more loyal parts
 of the Austrian empire. Clothing of all kinds suits, underwear hats, stock

ought to be firmly fixed in the minds of our government that legislation affecting Canada must be made with a view to cenenting and advancing the friendship sad cooperation of the two countries. Wiih a population of approximately S,OO,00o of people, Canada probably has the largest natural wealth per capita of any country in the world In 19i7 the total foreign trade of Canada was s2,5B,- 69l0o0. Last year the value of Canadian crops amounted to s1 ,367, 300 0o0 The year ending March S1, 1918, Canada imported from the United States $792, COG. 900 worth Of goods and exported to the United States s4lS,000oO0 worth A total trade with this country of $l ,210, 100000, with a balance of trade in our favor of almost two to one.
 From 1865 to 1911, our tariff. laws oper- ated powerfully against the normal eco- homie development of Canada. Shut out by our short-sighted legislation from her natural markets here, Canada was forced to create east and west channels Of trade for herself. By long and care full attention to the matter, our sapient law makers managed to turn Canadian trade away from this country to Eng land and other lands. Under this stern discipline Canadian business learned to rely upon itself and to advance into un- tried paths. It acquired a world point Of view, and developed the habit of seek ing world wide market
 Tho period of economic independence through which all young countries must pass has apparently been brought to a dramatic close by the war. At a recent meeting of the Canadian society of New York, Sir John Willison, Canada's great est publicst. pointed out that in the 70 years prior to 1914 Canada had borrowed billion dollars. For the most part these enormous loan, were placed in England. During the war, not only did European borrowing practically cease but also Canada extended to Great Britain alone a billion dollars of cred1c for the purchase of munitions in Can ada, besides substantial credits to Ru- mania. Belgium and other allies.
 The heroic part played by Canada in the war has brought her people into very close contact with the friendship, ideal ism and sympathy of Americans. Let us hope that this attl<Jde will continue, and that the two nations so vital to each other will work together for the advancement of a common North Amer ican civilization.
