BOOKS

UDGING by first reports, Cana- dian Book Week is being well observed throughout Canada, and ‘ Canadian literature has been more m the front than ever before. It ’ has been remarked that there is no nationalism as yet in Canadian lit- erature. Probably there never shall be. Canada is made up of different Provinces; each Province has its distinctive coloring and type, and each will very largely retain for “many years to come its individual- ‘ lty. Many years hence there will ‘ probably be u. merging of these in- dlvidualitloa, and then. possibly, we may look for a measure of notional-

’ inn ln our Canadian literature. ‘n As a Canadian critic points out:- ‘ “After all, the truthil very simple; llthereorenoeuch thingsaaoona- ‘dlen boob or English books or Am- boob.’ than m only m

In some of the states across the bor-‘ dcr many ‘branch’ lines, dependent‘ largely on passenger business havc' been abandoned and altogether. thousands of miles of track navel been taken up throughout the Unit-l ed States because the motor bus has absorbed the business.

The Hud-

Inlerest among Canadians in the Presidential election has been larg- er than in many like contests in years past from various causes. Onc oi the causes is that radio broad- casting has enabled tens of thou- sands of Canadians, in their homes. hotels and clubs to listen to the stlrrinf speeches on both SICIEELCIUT- ing the bitter and exciting cam- paign. Prohibition and credal mat- ters discussed so largely during the past months are not without inter- est on this side of the border, and never before during the tourist sea- son dld so many Americans visit Canada or so many Canadians visit the United States. In this commlngllng of the people of the two nations, as in the Canadian press, the election campaign, its pro- gress and issues formed a promin- ent subject of discussion and con- versation.
