Commonwealth and the United Na-
tions affairs. Canadian peace-keeping
contingents have served in Korea, on
the Gaza Strip, in the Congo, and on
Cyprus. External aid has taken the
form of relief of famine and poverty
and the prevention of disease; of agri-
cultural, scientific and technological,
and teaching projects, as well as money
gifts for industrial and social develop-
ment. This aid has been expended to
various countries in Latin America,
the West Indies, Asia, and Africa.
Canadians have demonstrated their
love of country and sense of national
identity and in our Centennial year we
look forward to a continued and richer
development of -this identity. And Can-
adians today possess a national pur-
pose. Much remains to be done to make
our land a better land yet to live in
and this world a better world, and
Canadians are working towards this
goal.
