A Bight Perspective

A right perspective is essential. A too-close view may distort a picture. The year should be stu- died in relation to other years, as well as by itself. This latest oldl year thus studied reveals more of, ncouragement than discourage- ment; more of cheer than cheer-

We grew more potatoes, for ‘example, than ever before, and more of some othei-"root and fod- der crops. Our orchards and vine- yards yielded record yields, espe- cially in apples. Even the lessened wheat crop left us with nearly 300 million bushels of highest grade in elevators and grannries, and that huge quantity, added to the carry-over of nearly 200 mllllflh bushels, makes a. formidable food supply capable of being transform- ed into many million loaves of the best bread in the world.

electric development continued ac- me during 1931, and thousands of men were employed on the Beau- narriois construction. Hydro deve- lopment on the Upper Francis Ri- ver is e. 2 1-2 million dollar enter- prise. Long transmission power lines are under construction in different parts of the country, no- tably Abitibi. Manitoba's Slave Falls plant is well under way; also at Seven Sisters Fells. and the B. C. electric system is carrying out extensive extensions.

More still: Over a hundred new industries came into existence in 1931. The output of furs, both in trapping and from fur farms, was sustained during 103i. The Royal Winter Fair at Toronto, in Nov- ember, 1931, had more entries than ever before. Canada is in a better , “‘on than ever to contribute toward the world supply of pulp and paper. Canada's national national wealth rose from 22 bil- lion in 1981 to over ‘80 billion in 1981, giving us one of the highest per capita shares of any country in the world.

Canada continued to do business with nearly a hundred countries on a world-wide scale, even though the volume was reduced to a bil- lion and three-quarters. And yet that of itself is a tidy sum. It was only 355 millions in 1000i Exports to China quadrupled in the last decade, and those to Japan rose from six to forty-two millions, and with the resumption of normal conditions in the Orient, there is every reason to expect a steady development in our commerce. Our High Commissioners in four great world centers and our thir- ty or more commercial agents pla- ced at strategic points around the globe, were on their jobs during the year, while the signs of increa- sing interest in inter-Empire trade are most hopeful for the future.

A Year o! Many Increases

1931 was indeed a. year of many increases, notwithstanding the de- creases, and this applies also to 1930 in many departments. as the latest available figures are releas- ed. A brief summary of some of them may be given. There were increases in pbtatoes, root crops, apples and other fruits. It was a good year in fisheries, notably in the salmon supply. It was a mark-
