A PREDICTION

THE CHINA MAIL,

WHAT THE 19TH CENTURY: WAS TO US.A.

IS IT CANADA'S TURNT

Just as the nineteenth century. belonged to the United States, Bo shall the twentieth century belong to Canada." This forecast is, at- tributed to that distinguished Canadian statesman, Sir Wilfrid Laurier uttered in the glowing days of the first 'decade of. "Canada's century. It fired the imagination of the people of Canada, and of the Empire. They caught the vision of a new and mighty nation on the northern half of the North American continent, paralicling the power and achieve- ment of the United States.

It was a vision comparatively casy to catch in the period a few years before the war. The young nation of the North was already shaking itself, strátching its limbs, tensing its muscles. In 1905 it had' completed the chain of provinces across the continent by the erection to provincial status of those, ter- ritories, now comprising Saskat- chewan and Alberta. In its rela- tions with the Empire and the world Yock, 60,000; Baltimore, of Canada was $8,000,000,000, it was beginning to realise a new 26,000; Boston, 24,000; Charleston, Measured by any of these stand- 20,000.

With such a wave of development sweeping across Canada, the realisation, of Sir Wilfrid's forecast seerned well within the range of possibilitles.
