Two or three years ago Canada had
the reputation among American stamp
dealers as the birthplace OF frauds and
forgeries in the philatelic line. Now
the Canadians are claiming that they
are being swindled right and left by
American stamp frauds. It seems to be
sery much like a case of the pot calling
the kettle black. In Philately, as in
everything else. roguery is not a ques-
ton Of nationality.
