Saturday, Dec. 11, 192G CIVILIZATION OF AMERICA DISTINCTIVE. Under "American" is included' the civilization of the United States .and Canada in so far as both countries possess common char-.derstics due to origin and environment, said ir Robert A. Fal-i toner, president of the University of Toronto, in an address in New York this week. A shrewd observer from France has recently re-( marked that below all the surface antagonisms between the United' States and Britain there is an instinctive sense that their civilization is fundamentally the same indeed, that the final factor is sending the United States into the Great War was fear lest the victory of Germany should irretrievably damage the civilization which they held In common with Britain. This Frenchman thus holds that the dominant strain in American civilization is Anglo-Scottish. The civilization of Anglo-Scottish origin both in the United States and Canada has essentially similar features. Wherein is it distinctive and different from the European and the Oriental? As an American historian has said, the frontier Is one of the controlling factors of the present life of the American people. The quality of the pioneer Is one of the most potent elements that differentiates the genuine American from the European.. lie is energetic, ready to meet difficulties, pragmatic rather than theoretical, inclined to judge the truth of an idea by the way it works even within a short period, impatient of social distinctions, of meditative thought, of subtle shades in literature and art; perfectly confident that the common man is equal to all emergencies. Therefore he' judges the worth of a social or educational system by what it does, for the average and he lets the exceptional take care of itself. He believes in mass production rather than in the subtle individual tduch that gives refinement to work. He has little reverence for the past and disposed to think of the civilization of other and older lands as belonging to an age. that has waned and whose sun is hastening towards the late afternoon. This instinct is bound to show itself in a treneral social eouai- ity, which has this advantage that it allows full scope to the indi- iuuniiiy 01 eacn. class distinction or inherited prtUIege will not block the door to opportunity. It is a case of fair field and no favor. This has led to a spirit of experiment New conditions require new structures and new methodi. Especially are these evi- ceni in architecture and transportation. HIGH ECONOMICS GRADE OF 31 EN. Another characteristic of American civilization is the high economic grade of the average man. In no country of the world is this so high as in the United States and Canada. Wages are good; money is made easily; homes are owned by the people who live in them; they are well clothed; their food is abundant and varied; they sPEd .freely. Thrift is a virtue that is rarer here than in other lands..When wealth accumulates, as it does, it is not through the savings of the people, but the material resources are so unfunded and the population within the United States of America Is so large that domestic trade flourishes abundantly. Industries are kej1l?sy saI,P,yin2 the needs of Americans, and export or import tradeamounts to only some eight per cent of the total annual wealth. Whal,fre luxuries to people of other lands are almost necessities to Americans, and a visitor from abroad marvels at the material comfort, and the lavish expenditure of wealth on public Institutions or private mansions. Nor can he fail to admire the way in wfcich rich rnenahd women have endowed universiticj, colleges, hospitals, libraries and museums, and how so many of the rank and fiie subscribe generously to philanthropies and calls for aid. This public-spirited-generosity is a distinguishing and most attractive feature of American civilization. There is not In American civilization, however, a distinction between the wealthy with Inherited culture and an Inferior society to the same extent as In Europe. Class consciousness does not prevail as in older lands; the farmers are not peasants; the artisan feels that in time he may become the owner of an industry. Accordingly labor unions do not hold together as in Europe, and their members are of a more conservative frame of mind. DUE TO CONDITIONS RAPIDLY CHANGED. The civilization of America its architecture, its standards of HOW OLD IS Whisky READ THE GOVERNMENT STAMP OVER THE CAPSULE This a JverUseitient Is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government o Uritii'li Columbia. THE-DAIIA NEWS 3aturdn living, Its communications, its wonderful industrial and commercla activity has spread uniformly over the Contlueiit; In California you ! find life outwardly established as in New York; in Tennessee s in Minnesota. But as distinguished from this outward civilization, when you ask as to its informing spirit, or what is sometimes called ' culture, it does not seem to me that there is the same uniformity. That an American culture has been created and is developing there is no doubt in literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, the drama-there is something new and unique which could only have sprung from the conditions of life on this Continent; but this hni, It would appear, moved out from the centres ,and older portions more slowly than the easilytimitated external framework in which people j live . ; It therefore appears that the distinctive features of American civilization are due to conditions which have rapidly changed. There is no luuger a frontier, the Influx of a foreign element has been checked by the quutu law, thos,e who have attained material comfort are diovering that man does not live by bread alone, and they are asking for food for the- mind and spirit," so eagerly that universi- ties, colleges, schools and institutions for the promotion of any and every kind of fine arts are crowded. Moreover the moral conviction of the old Anglo-Scottish American will not be stifled, atid it is constantly expressing itself In efforts for higher social and spiritual , life. Therefore it Is of a civilization that has not yet come to the; full. As yet it cannot be said that the American people have attained their ideal or are content with what they have accomplished, but are still aspiring. WATERFRONT WHIFFS Cod fishing here McLean has some good beat building contracts schooner Helen changes hands Cod fishing would seem to have its possibilities as a local in-' dustry giving occupation tt many halibut fishermen who are idle during the three winter months of close season. It has never been taken up exclusively by independent boats to any extent due to the fact, no doubt, that the cod generally caught in North Pacific water is not of the same superior quality as the Atlantic cod which is Newfoundland's chief product and, therefore, hardly commands price that would make it profitable to fish for it- In spite of such t handicaps that might appear at present, cod fishing locally seems something that might be Investigated , nd. eventually. b developed on a commercial bads.
