Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Canada: Illustrating the Great Dominion Of the many great conventions and meetings which have been held in Canada during the past fifty years, none have possessed greater importance in themselves, none promise to be as directly beneficial to Canada, as the the Fifth Congress of the Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire, which met in Montreal in August, 1903. Apart altogether from the great importance attaching to the sessions of the Congress where the master minds of commerce of a world-wide commercial empire met together to discuss, face to face and heart to lieart, questions of vast interest, questions upon the satisfactory solution of which, under Divine Providence, will depend the future prosperity and happiness of the Empire, it is only reasonable to hope that the visit of so many of the most eminent men of commerce and capital from all parts of the Empire to Canada will serve to powerfully attract the attention of the British race to the vast preserve which is so rapidly proceeding to make good her claim to the title of "The Empires Granary." Many of the most eminent of the delegates from the dear Home Land, from India, from Australia, from South Africa, from New Zealand and other parts of the Empire have already availed themselves of opportunities to express their astonishment at the vastness of the undeveloped natural resources of the Dominion, and their high appreciation of the rare attractions Canada possesses for the emigrant and the capitalist. Each and every one of the delegates to the Congress, all men of acknowledged local influence, educated and impressed as they have been by the trips through this country, will help to attract capital and immigration to Canada. And it is capital and immigration alone that Canada needs to enable her to take advantage of the inexhaustible natural resources bestowed upon her. The capital and the population which will be altracled in this way to Canada, moreover, will be liitish, a consideration of patriotic and Imperial importance, in view of the increase of foreign immigration into Canada and of the influx of foreign capital. Several of the delegates, impressed with the fact that they had seen and heard so much during their visit to Canada, expressed the wish that they might possess in some enduring and convenient form some general description of the principal points visited, and a reliable record of the main commercial facts brought to their attention. It was in compliance with this suggestion and similar requests from other delegates that the publication of "The Book of Canada" was determined upon.
