e attitude that must be adopted to facilitate the settlement of disputes--an attitude considerate and just. Of the changed conditions in Canada he said: I think the American people recognize the fact that much has taken place on the other side of the border--much which materially affects the theoretical, assumed, or supposed relations between the United States and Canada. It was with apparent doubt that the American people read the treaty of the eighteenth century, whether Canada was to become a part of the United States, and in 1812, the British governor-general of Canada wrote that a majority of his people were rather in favor of the Americans than the English. We must recognize that a great change has taken place. Canada is no longer the outlying country that it once was, when a few remnants of French descendants were left upon its borders to subsist upon precarious livelihoods. It has become a great community with increasing population and wealth. In her relations with England one can see that, while she is loyal to her mother country, as she has attained maturity she has contracted a personality of her own. Her relations to us have become of great importance. With enormous natural wealth, and with vigor and energy, she is protecting her industries, as we are protecting ours. Her people are proud of their country, as we are proud of ours, and we appreciate that from what was a little dominion upon our borders there has grown a great and powerful nation. And the people of America look with no grudging or jealous eye upon her development. HOW MUCH SOCIALISM DO OUR PEOPLE WANT? Bryan Suggests that "Individualism" Best Defines Limit to Be Set on Socialistic Tendencies. A tendency toward factional alignment at present characterizes the radical movement which has been sweeping over the country. The different elements of that movement are beginning to offer their individual claims for recognition. At this juncture William Jennings Bryan contributes to the _Century_ an important article on "Individualism _versus_ Socialism," in which he seeks to dispel the fogs which have enveloped the economic situation. First, he defines the two terms opposed in his title: For the purpose of this discussion individualism will be defined as the private ownership of the means of production
