‘THE GRANARY OF NORTH AMERICA."

GOVERNOR BULZER SAYS THAT OF WESTERN CANADA. The close ties of friendship existing between the United States and Canada were dwelt upon In addresses by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Canada, and Governor Sulzer, at the annual dinner of the University Club of Albany. “Canada and the United States,” said Premier Borden, "have a common heritage In the language, the literature, the laws, the institutions and the traditions which have come down to them from the men of bygone days. “Perhaps no more Instructive object lesson ever has been given to the world than the four thousand miles of undefended boundary line from the Atlantic, to the Pacific, which bears silent but eloquent testimony to the mutual confidence and respbet of the two nations. Time will shortly place upon the brow of each nation the laurel of one hundred years of peace. It matters not so much as to the form of the outward celebration, but let us hope that its full significance may sink deep into the hearts of both nations, and that, whether north or south of the boundary, we may stand with bowed and reverent heads, offering grateful thanks for the Divine blessing of peace, and earnest prayers that in the century to come, mutual confidence, good-will and respect may tnily animate the ideals and aspirations of both nations.”

Referring to the natural resources possessed by the United States and Canada, particularly along the St. Lawrence River, the premier urged that they be “preserved and developed for the people.” Governor Sulzer predicted that the “Great Canadian Northwest is designed to become, before long, the granary of North America.”

“Many of our best citizens, I regret to say,” said the governor, “are leaving the States of the west and going into the Canadian northwest, because of the fertility of its soil, the liberality of the Canadian government and the ability of those people to better their conditions here.

“We should extend to them a helping hand in their onward march of progress. Instead of closing our doors by tariff barriers against these countries and their products, in my opinion, we should open them wider and do everything in our power to facilitate closer commercial relations. We want their products and_£hey want our products, and all restrictions to prevent a fairer and freer exchange of goods, wares and merchandise should, in so far as possible, be eliminated.” —Advertisement.
