CANAOA AT SAX FKA>"CISCO
It is the commonly expressed
opinion of visitors to the Panama
Pacific international exposition at
Sail Francisco that tiie display made
iiy the Dominiou ot Canada in all
iities is equal to that of -any coun
:;>• other than the United States.
,,o doubt the costly undertaking in
■huh Canada engaged to insure rep
K-sertation at this great lair was
prompted largely by neighborly seu
t-:nent. This is fully appreciated
l\ American visitors, but a major
ity of them, judging troai accounts
published, are unable to see, in
j'utice to itself, how Canada could
have dene less. No such exhibit
could be made by Canada if the
country were lacking in the euergy,
enterprise and culture behiud it;
having these qualities so bounti
fully it would have been a grave
error at this time had it for any
reason failed to make them known
tarcugh this legitimate vehicle.
The tiiaes may not be so pro
pitious for Canada as they might
be, ;i:ui the immediate returns on
tlie investment may not be what
they would be if the times were
better in the United States or iu
the world at large, but the impres
-.0:1 left by the Canadian exliibi
rton at Sau Francisco will be last
ing. Not only this year, but next
year, and for many years to come,
it we judge by what we read and
hear, Canada will receive in pro
i onion to its giving.
Xothitii; said here should lessen,
nor there any intention to leG
Si'-n, the neighborly obligation iu
vo'ved in Canada's contribution to
the success o£ an enterprise to
■vhich the indorsement of the I'ni
t d States has been given. There
'a i;o weakness in confession of
tha fact that sentiment cuts a con
si-'Tuble figure in the relations be
tween two peoples that have dwelt
sMa by side in amity and with grow
s"g mutual regard for more than
j. century. Ar all events, in a
1>! : icd of great stress on its own
side vt the line, Canada found
time to think of Its friend on the
<»ti.er side, and to offer generous
evidence oi its thoughtfulness. Its
exhibit at San Francisco is a splen
.'ud testimonial of self denying
friendship, and it is needless to
say that it will be remembered in
the United States long 4after the
beautiful vision by the Golden Gate
shall have vanished.
TITLE TO LOWEll CALIFORNIA.
Whenever a stable Mexican gov
ernment exists again, with which
the I'nited States is on terms of
amity, it would not be surprising
if it were to be approached with
proffers of cash for transfer of
the peninsula, known as "Lower
California." To be sure the terms
of Mexico's, present constitu
tion would make such cession an
cct of treason; but that might not
(ieter au administration firmly seat
ed in power from providing other
features if the affair were satis
factory.
The desire for the change of
t tie has diverse origins, some of
which are likely to remain con
start. For military reasons it
would seem to be well if both the
peninsula and the waters of the
gulf of California could be con
trolled from Washington. For eco
nomic reasons the outlet of the
Colorado river and sites for pro
tection of the 750,000 acres of
'illable land in the Imperial valley
should be under United States rule.
Large construction enterprises in
the form of dams and barriers
against excess water, which are
necessary for protection of inter
ests in California, must be built in
Mexican Lower California if at all.
?ut private capital cannot and will
;iot undertake tho tusk, and the
"uited States government cannot do
Were the peninsula extremely
valuable to Mexico, and likely to
be developed by her in any near fu
ture, it would probably bo a waste
of thought and desire, for Califor
nians interested in this project ev
en to start discussion of the mat
ter on a national seaJe, which is
\vh->t some of them apparently aim
to do But save for the strategic
value of the waters of the gulf to
at.y Mexican navy-to-be, Mexican
rating of the value of the remote
region cannot, we think, be high;
j I'd it is not beyond reason to be
lieve that a turn may come
.!i the the relations of the I
two republics when the hopes
of Californians may be real
ized. But the indispensible pri- j
or fact must be an administration
iu Mexico City able to withstand
popu'ar clamor against transfer of
territory to a power that by farce,
years ago, took much Mexican spoil.
The memory of this filching pro
ofs has not been obliterated, and
still has to be reexoned with in
discussion of coming events.
