“ As we enter our centennial year we are still a young nation, very much in the formative stages. Our national condition is still flexible enough we can make almost anything we wish as a nation. No other country is in a better position than Canada to go ahead with the evolution of a national purpose devoted to all that is good and noble and excellent in the human spirit ”
