"AmericanS"

For years Canadians have protested
against the appropriation by the people
of the United States of the designation
Americans" They have held that it
is presumptuous and improper for the
people of nation to take unto them
selves the name of continent. Cana
dams, Mexicans, Peruyians, Cloumbians
heterogeneous all have as much right to
the title as people of the United States.
But all these are blessed with a country
with name. The people of our
country, on the other hand, are handi-
capped in this respect, for the nation
really has no name at all. 1t is merely
q collection Of confederate states, and
accepts this as q makeshift designation.
We may be Ohioans or Kentuckians or
Virginians or Vermonters but it is
going too far to ask us to call ourselves
United Statesers or United Stateians.
We have to take the title American
