Excerpt from Continental Influences in Canadian Development Meanwhile, the American Associated Press had be come a power - perhaps the greatest modern influence in the moulding of American thought. Into this system came most of the daily press of the United States, and, except where a few great and wealthy papers had a special correspondent in London, out of it came all the news from abroad received by the people of the United States. Into this system, too, came the daily papers of Canada - partly because it was cheaper than Special cables and partly because, until very lately, it was im possible for our limited population to support the cost of a separate system. During all these years, therefore - with occasional exceptions so limited as to render them unimportant - the Canadian people, the children who are now young men, the young men who are now growing old. The women who are the mothers of this youthful nation, have been fed daily, weekly, monthly, yearly with the American view of everything British or of everything connected with that marvellous development of Imperial power which is the envy of thinking and travelled Americans and the object of jealous regard 'by the publicists and journalists of the Republic.
