Commerce, AS THE YEAR 1934 passes into History, Canada can look back upon a period I of unimpaired progress so definitely sustained that it Has brought us to Ho patHway tHat leads to a sound, sensible, and stable prosperity. THe advance tHat we, as a: country, Have made during tHe past year Has demonstrated anew tHe inherent strength and stability of. the Dominion. We Have seen the faith to which we 'held so firmly in the darker days abundantly fulfilled' the confidence 10 which" We citing In gloomier years triumphantly vindicated. With clearer skies above us, and with firmer ground beneath our feet, we Have advanced with unimpeded progress along the road of national reconstruction and economic recuperation. It is at once a tribute and a testimony to the courage of the Canadian people that, to-day, Canada marches in the vanguard of the nations in their pilgrimage toward prosperity. Throughout the past year, the pulse of our business life has grown stronger day by day. Canadian industry, through all its multitudinous channels, has felt the urge of a resurgent activity. The process of production Has been steadily accelerated to meet an intensified; demand for Canadian commodities, and,, throughout the Dominion, our manufacturing plants Have experienced a sustained! activity that often challenged' their capacity. Our international trade, so vital to the economic welfare of the nation, Has seen an almost spectacular increase in volume and:in value, and the trade agreements which have been effected between, Canada and other parts of trie Empire, as well as with twenty-five other nations throughout the world Have- opened up new avenues of distribution, with ever-widening potentialities of business, for the products of' Canadian farms, forests, and fisheries, mines and manufactories. And it is a significant fact as well as a symbol of our progress that employment in Canada Has reached, to-day a higher level than that of: any month since the upward trend began. Encouraged by the progress we Have made, cheered by the brighter days we. now encounter, sustained by the courage and the confidence which upheld us through the darker years, we can face, unafraid, the. problems of the. future.. As a united people yet each in His own place and endeavor let us advance together to further heights of national' achievement. Thus shall the great destiny of Canada, be fulfilled), and all Her people- find happiness, in. the days to be. Hon. R. B.
