The first fact to be faced in regard to Can- ada's f)1‘OS]:(‘t‘ls is that. given continuation n,‘ lhc present pontilatiou trcud. Canada might ex- pect to reach a population of only a little over

"l3 millions by 11151 and 14 1-2 millions by 1961.

Bast increases were, by decades. ending in the given vcar: 1011, 34 per cent; 1921, 22 per cent; 1931, 13 per rcnt: 1011, 1’l per ccnt, In the ncxt tcn vcars, it is predicted. lhe increas: will be 11 per ccnl, dropping lo 9.5 per cent in the decade ending 1061, and 8 |1Cr cent by 1971. Expressed in :111otl1cr iray, the birth rate i11 Canada has dropped from 211.3 per thousand Iv, 1011 to 20.3 pt-r 1l11111~.'111<l in 11130; ll1c rate of natural increase fcll from 17.8 per thousand i11 1921 to 10.71101" thousand in 1939. 'l'hus, as

'—'——+.'anada approached the second ivrvrld war she

bad no indication that her ligfilllilllfJll would grow, but rather lhc [‘\'l1ll'lll.'(‘ 11f her failing birth rate and ltalled 11111111gra1i1>11 showed that the

favourable conditions which had surrounded hcr first 70 years of nationhood had disappeared. and she must look to new forces and attractions.

The second fact regarding Canada's prospects has reference to the vexed question of immi- gration. The trend of population in the west- ern world is downward, which mean: that if Canada decides to seek population through im- migration She will be doing so when population is assuming a scagcity value. The drift of the world toward smaller families increases the dif- ficulty of obtaining new Canadians, but it tnakes the need for positive action that much greater.

The third fact regarding post-war population 1s that nearly a million n1e11 will bedemobilizod from Canada's armed forces. and probably an- other ndllion persons 110w engaged in \var i11- dustrics will require a change of job. Not all of these, by any means, are new workers. In fact, seriously thinking men have frequently expressed the opinion that, given adequate gov- ernment leadership and help during the crucial ivar-plant changeover. Canada may look for- ward to a satisfactory and speedy transition to Lertcetiltic economy. \Vithout drawing too close a parallel, because conditions are so different tndav. it is intercstingr to examine the events stirrounzlitig the cnd of the Iiirst World War. In the lam two years of that war, 185,000 pcr- suns wcie absorbed in industry; large numbers of women were engaged; railroad employees alnne jumped 30,000. lt might, lhen, have been vxpcctcd that a1 the time of the census in 1921 Canada's working force would have increased lllllClI more than the natural increment. It was found. ltowcvcr, that the number employed i11 1921 was actually a few thousand less than the peacetime trend would have indicated. So far as the cc11sus indicates, there was no cataclysm between 1911 and 1921. lf Canada's problem 1s greater this time than last, l1cr potential is also greater, and it may well ha. that those who are raising the spectre of fear throughout the country are serving IlOl. so u111cl1 coltstructive as pcrsonal ends. -

The fourth consideration to which attention should be given is the thought of some IXWSOIIi, looking at; Canada's "great open spaces," that this countrv could support hundreds of millions of people. They do not take uccotmt of the fact that more than half of Canada is described in the Canada Year Book as waste land, and only 55o.- 000 square miles out of 3,500,000 square ntilcs ltave any agricultural possibilities. Mere pres- cnce of available space bears" small relation to the possibilities of a new population earning :1 livelihood. A more reliable criterion is the area of arable land.

A brief presented to the Rowcll-Sirois Royal Commission estimated that (‘a11arla has not more than 1S ntillion acres of arable land still avail- able for occupancy. and described it as inferior, ivoodcd, and patchy. It will, said the brief, ac- commodate no more than 250,000 additional people in rural occupations cxccnt with :1 low- ering of the living standard. There is wide divergence between this figure and Professor Stephen Leacock's estimate that Canada can maintain 20o million inhabitants. The magni- tude of the difference indicates a need for cau- tion and careful planning.

I-le spoke on Faith in Tomorrow. “We have lost faith in ourselves. and we have lost much of the faith the people had in us as business men," he said. "It is such loss of faith that gives rise to zovernment ownership. to re- gimcntation, to schemes for social sccuritv." In tirging the delegates to be ready for the "great- est era of expansion" after war. he said: "Let us bc ready for it, and so busy in our iob of ex- pansion that wc have no time to worrv about government ownership.

In the Year just. passed I used over four hundred gallons of mar- lwd was for mstont sawing of fire- wood and fishing purposes only. There are rnanv fishermen and farmers" throughout our Province who have used much more, 1111-1 so Ltklng it on the whole most of us would be amazed at the amount; of money the government has access to. for a number of months each year without- havlng to pay any tntrrrst whatsoever. Yet, this goes n11 31-9111" after year and each and every user of marked gas pays and pavs. Why?
