THE AMERICAN CONTRAST.
Our Peaceful Undefended Canadian
Border.

From the New York Times
A dispatch from Toronto contrasting
the 5000 miles Of unguarded frontier
that divide the United States from the
British possession Of Canada with the
bristling frontiers Of Europe suggests
the real reason why tho United States
has for a century maintained peace
with Great Britain. The arrangement
concluded in April. 1917. between Rich
ard Bush. acting Secretary of State.
and Charles Bagot, Great Britain's en-
voy extraordinary. limited the naval
force upon the great lakes to one ves-
sci of not over 100 tons burden on Lake
Ontario, armed with one eighteen
pound cannon; on the upper lakes to
two similar vessels, and on Lake Cham
plain to one such vessel. These ves-
sells, needless to say, were not for war.
The few antiquated brick forts along
the great boundary are about as strong
as sheepfolds.
The disarming Of the American from
ing Of European boundaries has in
vited suspicion and attack. They are
being attacked, and the elaborate
European preparations as "tnsurance"
The hundred millions of people this
side the Canadian border do not molest
the eight millions on that side, not be-
cause occasions for international jeal-
ousy have not arisen. but because In
the absence of brute force reason has
invariably prevailed. Americans did
not readily forget the burning of
Washington by the British in 1914.
Canadians felt that the Ashburton
treaty of 1912 permitted the state Of
Maine to encroach on their territory.
and they caviled over the boundary
question on the Pacific coast. Then
there was the report of the Alaska
boundary commission. so unsatisfactory
to the Dominion. In 1864, when tho
federal government was suspected Of
entertaining designs Of invading Can
ada, and later during the revival of
distrust over tho Alabama incident, one
of the deciding factors for the contfn-
uance Of peace was this mutually un-
guarded frontier. Both countries had
prepared for nothing but peace. and.
in the words Of the late Prof. Sumner,
what we prepare for that we shall get
