Favor Lending
Aid TO Canada
u. S. Would Help
II Ever Invaded
BY DR.. GEORGE GALLUP
Director. American Institute OF
Public Opinion

Public Opinion
PRINCETON, y. With
furious Nazi assault against the
British expected as the aftermath
of the French surrender. an over"
whelming majority of American
voters favor sending armed forces
to aid Canada if she is attacked.
A national survey completed just
prior to the French capitulation
found nearly nine in every ten
voters supporting the idea of aid
to Americas northern neighbor.
How this sentiment will be az
fected by the fact that England
is now alone in her war against
Hitler remains to be seen in future
surveys. But it is significant that
up to last week sentiment for aid
ing Canada had risen sharply since
the early days of the war. The
trend is shown in the vote on the
following question, which the
American Institute of Public Opin-
ion put to cross-section of voters
throughout the country:
IF Canada is actually invaded
by any European power. do you
think the United States should use
its army and navy to aid Canada ?"
Yes No
Last October 1870 219o
Last Week .......87 Is
In last weeks survey only a tiny
proportion Is per cent? expressed
no opinion.
The vote is the latest evidence
of the public's desire not merely
to defend the United States proper.
but also to build up a system of
hemisphere defense. In addition to
aiding Canada against attack,
American voters in previous sur
veys have declared themselves in
favor of defending countries around
the Panama Canal, and countries
in South America.
Such defense Is favored by
the public chiefly for the rea-
son that Germany must not
be allowed to get a fOOthold
anywhere near our gates,' and
that "Our line of defense en-
tends beyond our own borders"

CANADA INCLUDED

The statement appeared broad
enough to include Canada, a
dominion of the British empire,
and Greenland, Danish posses
sion. President Roosevelt extend
ed the Monroe Doctrine to Canada
in speech nearly two years ago.
While Britain. France and the
Netherlands all have numerous
possessions in the ives ter n
hemisphere, the fact that France
alone is engaged in preliminary
peace negotiations was regarded
as indicating this nations imme-
date concern centered on the
French territories.
These include the islands st.
Pierre and Miquelon, just off the
Newfoundland coast, Fren h
Guiana, and several of the Wind
ward islands, the principal ones
of which are Martinique and

Recommending more conservative
education among persons other thar
sportsmen. DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson
chief of the Biological Survey, said
''it has always seemed to me that
too much of our effort in conserva-

program. and that we have not yet
developed an effective mechanism
for getting conservation under
standing and information into the
minds Of those who do not yet know
and appreciate its basic significance
for the future human welfare OF
this country"
The three greatest needs for con-
servation at present. he added. are
development Of more dependable
and accurate information on the
stocks of wildlife, more land on
which the production Of wildlife is
the primary enterprise and more
education for conservation.
