Synopsis

Canada’s postwar growth plan: a detailed look at how a vast country aims to turn its resources into lasting prosperity.

This edition outlines the country's shift from wartime production to peacetime development, with agriculture at the core and industry expanding to meet domestic and global needs. It highlights how Canadians are readjusting their economy, strengthening finance, and inviting investment to support a broad plan of growth.

The text examines the scale of opportunity across agriculture, forestry, mining, and manufacturing, and explains how the nation intends to manage labor, immigration, and settlement to sustain progress. It also describes the role of banks and foreign offices in building a supportive financial framework for expansion and trade.

• Agriculture as the driving force, with a move toward diversified crops and intensified farming.
• Expanding forest products, minerals, and metal industries to fuel growth.
• Plans to settle returning soldiers and an emphasis on labor conservation.
• Strengthening financial infrastructure, including new bank branches and international offices.

Ideal for readers interested in early 20th‑century economic planning, Canada’s development schemes, and the global context of postwar recovery.
