PIun to Defend Canada
 Against Aggressor Not
 New; } Nations Are Cool
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Doubt- less President Roosevelt did not in- tend to rattle sabres in assuring Canada that the United States would not sit idly by in event of an attack On the dominion, but the statement helps to explain the cool reception given by Germany, Japan and Italy to American peace pre- ouncements.
 For several reasons many per- sons in these three nations, as well as many in America, have long looked upon the United States as Q sort of British ally. Repeatedly this has been positively denied by the State Department but the denials have not changed these convic- tions
 Now comes the Presidents state ment in the speech dedicating the international bridge between the U. S. and Canada by which he in dicates that an attack on Canada would be, for all practical pur- poses, an attack on the United States. To German, or Japanese, or Italian looking askance at Brit ish rearmament, it might easily have sounded as if the U. s. had promised to look out for one of Mother Rritain'S children in event of trouble.

Great Britain s Depreciation May Stimulate Exports
 Which Have Dropped

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Monetary re- taxation in Government control over foreign exchange markets shot the American dollar to the highest level against the pound in three years

For political and economic advantages, Great Britain has subsidized exports to some markets and the belief is now becoming widespread the deprecia- tion of the pound will be the sim plest way to stimulate exports and wipe out the adverse balance.

OLD HAT TO U. s.

OLD HAT TO U. $.
 But to students of U. s. defense measures the statement about Can- ada carries no essential foreign sig nificance. It has long been recog- nized that the U s. defense line extends from Greenland south ward as least as far as Brazil, and on the West Coast from Alaska southward to a contact with South America. That includes the whole Canadian coast line.
 For hundred years Canada and the United States have comforted themselves with the recollection that their faith and trust in each other has permitted 2,000 miles of boundary to exist without a single fertilization. But the people map ping out the national defense pro- gram have looked with less senti- mental regard on that long unde- tended line.
 When army aviation specialists sought to give due recognition to that problem three years ago by proposing a series of air bases along the Canadian border, how ever, the sentimental attachment to that undefended border line was such that the idea was smothered under storm of protest from both sides of the border.
