Considered individually all these things will help the localities concerned. i But considered as a wnole, you do not see quite so bright a picture for Canada. For what is actually happening is that the ownership of Canada is passing from the governments of Canada, or small holders in Canada,1 to Big Business in U.S.A. Canada is being annexed, not by military invasion of the type of the War of 1812, but bit-by-j bit by big money transactions ' on the international exchanges. , WHAT is wrong with Canadians j that we cannot or will not develop our own natural resources, for our own benefit, and not for the benefit of outsiders. , however friendly those outsid-; i ers are? at Bella Coola, writes that the need becomes more Ml.. and Mrs. Chas.
