very long Canada will be, by
sheer force of territory and re-
sources, a nation looking upon
England as its interesting little
European headquarters.
The Isle de la Seine was about
all there was Of Paris when the
fat Charles was king. Now
Americans cross Henry the
Fourth's bridge from the real
Paris to see the morgue, Notre
Dame, or the law courts, which
show that the little island in the
Seine was once important.
England will be eventually
simply the European office of the
British Empire, if that empire
outlasts a few generations. And
it won't do that unless it turns
history upside down. An over
grown empire is as certain to
vanish as an overgrown dinosaur.
