AMERICA WILL DOMINATE
THE. WORLD.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

One hundred years from now the
greatest seat of power and influence
on earth will be the American con-
tinent
BY that time Europe will have re-
ceded in the background of import
ance. 1t will exist mainly for its
history and It's interest as the source
of culture and civilization. But the
scepter will have passed to the west
ern continent
The reason for this is that America
has the two necessary foundations
first, 1t has the physical basis; sec
ond, 1t has the spiritual basis
1t has vast fields of fertility and
unmeasured mineral riches far in ex-
cess of Europe. The people have
hardly begun to tap these resources.
In the term America are included
the United States and Canada, for
they are both essentially one, one in
the character of the people, one eco
nomically, one in every way except
certain political ties which doubtless
will have faded before the end of an
other century.
Few of us realize the enormous
strides which Canada has made within
the space of one or two generations
Not SO long ago 1t was generally
conSloereu a WllQ waste with an in
hospitable climate and uncomfortable
distances. Today, having sprung up
as IL over night, 1t is traversed from
the Atlantic to the Pacific by a net
work of railways. some of them the
finest in the world
Where once roamed herds of buff
falo and where savage Indians gained
precarious living by hunting and
fishing there are now innumera BILE
farms. great herds of cattle and sheep
ana manufacturing enterprises of all
kinds.
Going west from Winnipeg when
you pass the town of Fleming YOU
enter the great wheat growing prov
ince of Canada. Saskatchewan. which
produces over 60 per cent of the total
wheat crop of the dominion
The vast stretch of country be-
tween Winnipeg and Calgary is
mammoth agricultural area suitable
in itself to be the field of a vast en-
ptre. The three prairie provinces of
Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta
contain land area of $4,000 900
acres. OF these acres 200. .000. 900 are
nrst class land that will raise the
finest crops. At present less than
55,OOO,OO0 acres are under cultiya ton
with only about a million and three
quarters population. OF the remain
ing l65.000.000 acres of good farming
land considerably over 10000 900
acres lie within fifteen miles of ex-
isttng railroads.
This is sample of the almost lin
itless resources of Canada which have
hardly been touched.
Similar conditions are found in the
