The Toronto Globe, a conservative
Canadian newspaper, speaking edi-
torially Of the method used by the
people of the United States to "cele-
brate" July the Fourth said, in part:
In course Of time we may see the
American Revolution commemorated
not as an act of destructive violence,
but as creation; not as the out
come of quarrel, but as a stage in
the evolution of free institutions. All
humanity is the gamer because the
experiment Of republican government
has been worked out upon a vast
scale, and it's faults as we'll as it's
merits displayed. The advocates of
sane Fourth of July should not con-
tent themselves with denouncing fire
crackers. They should strive to
make the commemoration worthy of
an event of worldwide Importance"
And after reading that paragraph,
the press of the United States will
doubtless agree with it's Canadian
contemporary.
