in the loyalty of either Canadians or Americans to
their form of governmnt, and talk Of Canadian an
neNa0n has entirely ceased both sides OF the bord-
er, the two countries give an admirable exhibition
of the possibilities of international friendship and CO.
operation between peoples SO much alike.
Recently Canada did herself credit by extingush-
ing egaized liquor export to the United States in
violation OF our customs and prohibition laws. There
by Canada surrendered revenue OF some SSO0,000
month 1t is significant fact that as soon as Can
ada did this, France from her two islands Of St. P-
ERE and Miquelon off the Canadian border took ov-
er the bootegging and smuggling business and from
her island f00thodS is connivng with rum runners
and smuggers in the violation of American laws for
the money to be derived from this. 1t would be hard
TO conceive Of the United States using islands off the
french coast as base for protecting violation of the
french customs or other laws, but this continent
we nave made some progress beyond the ethics of the
Mediterranean pirate states.
Canada is pointing the way to the United States
III some matters. Recently the dominion was swept
by wave Of sound nationaism. The Canadians do
not approve the policy Of permitting unemployment
to deveope on her farms and factories by reason Of
excessive lmportatons of the cheap labor products of
other lands. With tariff already considerable hi
gher than that of the United States Canada has chos
Ell premier who believes in the policy of adequate
protection for Canadian industries. The 20 per cent
preference II tariff rates products of other por
u0ns OF the empire has worked hardship on Canada
1t has flooded even her Wste1n farming regions With
dairy products from New Zealand It has closed al
number of her textile mills. So Canada is preparing
to revise her tariff upward to the point where pre-
ference will be given in the Canadian market to the
products OF Canadian labor much better paid than
the labor Of Europe. Moreover, Canada has put a
camp down on immigration during period of de-
preston. The Canadian government has decided not
to permit immigrants to swell the army of Canadian
IN this country a tremendous camor has been rails
eel against the here of the means Canada is having
the good sense to employ in the protection of her pros
pef1ty This is because of tremendous American III
yestments N foreign cheap labor markets, and the
desire OF our international bankers and industralists
70 realize on their foreign obligations at the expense
Of the American masses and their standards of liv-
ng. These investors have financed propaganda of
ntefnatonalism which appears in a hundred guises,
and always cloaked in an assumed atruism which
keeps the dollar mark out Of sight
1t seems strange that Canada, which is under the !
sovereignty OF European power, shows more in
.ense natlonalism than would be imaginable in the
united States. But looking out for the safety and
prosperity OF Canada rather than spending their time
On the futile job of looking out for the whole world
It the sacrifice of the welfare of their own nationals
canadian statesmen backed as the recent election
shows, 10y the sentiment of Canadians have shown
OF their duties and responsibilities which
nay we'll be commended to statesmen on this side of
he border.
