The jubilee year of Confederation is a good lime to' lake siock or our national achievements, not that vre. should become boastful as a people, bul as an encouragement and an incentive to still gicater things. It has been charged that Canadians suffer from on iniVnoriiy complex; that -we ave more inclined lo belittle our country and its possibilities than lo boast of thorn; that, as a consequence, we are apt to enteitain doubts and be fearlul of the future instead of displaying confidence and courage 7 Mt is a good thing, therefore, to sometimes gel a glimpse of ourselves ns others see us. There is inspiration in such uibuiCb as. the following: The National Foreign Trades Council of Xev York, in n recent statement, says Canada has led all nations in iiu-rcji��c- of external trade muco 1913, with an increase of S5 per cent, a.s compared "with Australia's lo peri cent., and 31 per cent for the United Stales. 0 j The League of Nations'Bureau recently i��sued a re poi I showing Thai* Canada's per capita ���wealth liad grown from $1,100 in J OOP, to ?2.10G jn 192G���a record unequalled bv anv other nation in history. The National Bureau of Itosearch of ilu- ("nil oil Runes recently published the results of 11 years' trading, showing that Canada bad enjoyed more prosperity than any other nation ��� During the years coveml by Hiese statements, the Western Provinces of Canada have been transformed from being a vast area, *\w'.h a spaise population and a meagre product ion, into a coiiuuunily of over two million peoplo and with an agricultural production ot such magnitude as to command the attention of the whole world, and constituting a laolor to bo reckoned -with in all ihe ���world markets. The development of the AVest has had its effect on the ivsf of Canada, as is well recognized, but "Western people possibly do not fully appreciate the rapid growth and development which, bas tak'.n place in the older provinces iii' the east. Manufacturing pioduclion in Canada has grown from 211 millions of dollars in 100L to 1.311 millions in 1!>25, ancT> in export of manufactured products expanded in the same time by 2,729 per cent. Today Canada exports some millions of dollars worth of manulacuued goods more than she imports, a coinplele reversal of the situation, as recently as five years ago. Canadian manufacturers are beginning lo profit from thc lessons of tlie past. They realize thai, (lie people ot Canada as a whole will not stand for protective, tariffs so high thai tliey are prohibitive, and tbat the tendency is in thc direction of lower rather Ihan higher tarilf. Tliey now know thcy .must rely ou something more than a protective fai-itr to en.-ure success and make profits. As a result, they have scrapped much obsolete machinery, have adopted improved manufacturing methods, have noi only cultivated the home market better through the giving of real service, but Hiey liave aggressively entered foreign markets and have built up a woith-wliile export trade. AH theh- eggs are no longer in one basket. They are beginning fo appreciate lhc wisdom and strength of a Canadian policy of negotiating trade treaties with other countries, and lo recognise and accept tlie fact that international trade cannot be aH om> sded; that, in a word, it Canada is to sell largely in foreign markets, she must, in turn, buy in those markets. Canada's manufacturers and financiers aro also, to au increasing extent, investing in the development of the natural resources of the .Dominion-instead oi relying on tho importation of raw and semi-manufactured materials which Ihe Dominion itself can supply.

"The farmers here, report lo the Board the number of laborers they require and the order for that number is sent to Hungary." Ur. C J vary said, Since thc war, he explained, most of thc Hungarians who came to this country wero very poor and could not think of buying land at first. Tliey were therefore placed on farms as laborers until thcy earned sufficient money to start out for themselves.

Peterson) Canada is th.e only important agricultural country in the world without systematized rural land credit ma chinery. This situation has a distinct bearing on the colonization of our vacant lands. Across the lino the Federal Land Banks supply rural mortgage funds on a basis of 6 per cent, interest ancl on long term repayment. This system is in an extremely healthy condition (here and it is difficult to see liow Canada can appeal to United States farmers to- settle in this country, without being in a position to offer Ilium similar economic faclitics for long* term credit. A commission recently made some investigations into systematized rural credit machinery and in the final ro- port slated lhat "the whole plan is for a method wliich would not en courage speculation in land, but one which would make farmlsg moro attractive to those wlio were eager io worlc." The .acceptance in other countries of the long-term land mortgage system with amortization provisions, has becn a most valuable factor in the closer settlement of land. II has reduced charges for interest, given security to both mortgagor and mortgagee, and, by its tendency to stabilize laud values, has diminished laud speculation. The stabilization of land values is one of the by-producis of a rational, rural land credit system. ' Incidentally, il is also one of the crying needs of our western country where the crazy fluctuations of land values has done more to demoralize agriculture than all other causes combined. a \j n ayS JLTJUUULV* Three years of stomach and kidney disorders wrecked her health* Noiv fully recovered and feeling splendid, she thanks Tanlac Mme.

Minister ir" Railways Says Country Developing in That Direction That Canada's development within the next 2G years v. ill be northerly, is the opinion of the Hon, Charles A.

"Co north, young maiv is the slogan of lhe future," said Mr. Dunning, "and the task of Canada ana Canadians now is to continually apply ourselves in an endoavov to broaden thc band of our population." 'Mr. Dunning saw reason foi great optimism in the closing in of that gap north of the Circat Lakes, and with the trend north in almost every province of Canada. In going north today there is being discovered and developed resources otherwise unknown. "This northern trend," be said, "will produce an ever-widening opportunity for young Canadians, is closing lhe gap . between the East aud West, and will tend to balance the economic value of Canada as a whole." "Canada needs diversity of occupation," continued thc Minister, "and an opportunity for the product of oui schools and universities."

A large single shipment of motor oil, a solid trainload of 26 cars of Marvelube, left Sarnia for various points in the west, bfft mostly for Vancouver.
