International Enmity Proving Costly
Six months ago newsprint paper wa.
$50 a ton. Today it is 5000 a ton OF
more. The cause is that some of the
Provinces (States) in Canada have pur
an embargo against the sending OF
wood pulp, of which common news.
paper is made, to the United States.
Why ?
You may remember that three years
ago, the price of paper went up. Ev-
eryone vas eXhorted to save paper anC
buy a baler. In six months the crisis
was owe and baled paper could not be
given away.
The United States held aloof from
entering the World War, while reap
ing the millions of profits. Great
Britain applied a protective tariff, by
putting an embargo on the export OF
wood pulp from Canada, until we en-
tered the wal and became comrades in
arms for the aus of humanity. Then
the embargo was lifted.
When the Peace Treaty went to the
United States some of the blind par
tisans, with minds of children, who
have learned little history on either
side of the Atlantic since the Ameri-
can Revolution, began assailing Great
Britain and Canada. The strongest were
partisan newspapers, especially the
Irish who have not become Ameri-
canized.
1t is charged that Great Britain has
one vote and each Dominion of the
Empire has a vote, Canada being one
of them. Consequently the Senators
with childish minds greatly fear of
being swallowed by the British lion.
They are so partisan blind that they
cannot see that America has a lion
tanner in the White House. In the
past two weeks, since getting rid of
Robert Lansing, as Secretary of State,
Woodrow Wilson's messages to foreign
countries have changed the minds of
British, French and Italian ministers
on the Fiume issue between Italy and
the Jugo-Slaves.
The Wilmington Evening Journal
says: at is suggested that unless
there is some specific benefit to be got
ten from twisting the British lions
tail, it might be well to call a halt in
Congress and in the columns of GER
tain papers. (The Evening Journal
for instance.-Ed.)
'"The British resentment of entirely
unnecessary filings from this side of
the water is finding concrete express
sions in events and possibly plans.
international enmity is expensive
and wasteful. Concord between the
United States, England and Canada
costs only some self restraint and a
decent appreciation of the other fell
low"
This enmity has caused the embargo
on Canadian wood pulp and it is get
ting on the pocket nerve of every pub
Usher in the United States. But, oh,
Lord, how we do love a protective tar
if, but not the embargo by the other
fellow. All publishers with the eyes
of a gnat should see this and show up
what the Senators at Washington are
doing by killing the Peace Treaty.
The Lodges, Borahs, Edges and FIRE.
linghuysens may be filling their pock-
cts in Wall Street, but they are emp
tying the pockets of newspaper pub
fishers. They must be gotten rid of
if it takes a generation to do it.
George w. Wrong (but he is right
in his opinions) Professor of History
in the University of Toronto, says:
"The King of Great Britain has no di-
rect political authority of any kind I'M
Canada; he al act only thru minis
tiers. Canada drew up, debated and
completed her Federal Constitution.
She is ruled from England about as
much as is the State of New York.
Canada went into the war of her own
notion and not through any urging

tive sat at the Peace Conference in
Paris. No limitation was placed upon
the right of Canada as a nation to be
a member of the League of Nations,
quite independent of Great Britain.
To draw back on this would be for
Canada to become a colony of Great
Britain. Great Britain is governed
from London. Canada from Ottawa.
us it not practically certain that in
questions of world politics the United
States and Canada will be found on
the same side ?"
"Why is it." Canadians ask, "that
the United States seems bent on hui
initiating Canada, largely at the de-
mand of the Irishmen, who, all con-
sciously, are by this demand striking
a blow at the very principle for which
they are contending."
Every publisher should get it in his
pate that it is the embargo on wood
pulp from Canada that is pilfering his
pocket and the prime cause is the ca
tering of the politicians at Trenton
and Washington to the un-American-
lied Irish ag~itators.
We are getting an extra dose of our
beloved protective tariff, imposed by
the other fellow.
