ORDEAL BY FIRE, CANADA
l91O-1945, by Ralph Allen
volume 5 of the Canadian
History Series edited by
Thomas B. Costain),
492 w., maps. Doubleday
& Co.: $3.50 - b..
Many, perhaps most, Amer
leans persist in viewing Cam
ada as an appendage Of the
United States, an appendage
somehow containing a refrac-
tory minority that holds odd
views and persists in speak
ing a variety of French, but
an appendage with a similar
culture and identical inter-
eStS.
When an issue like Cana
dian Ford's shipment of trac-
tors to Communist China
arises and Ottawa proclaims
that American law and Amer
lean foreign policy are not
necessarily valid north Of the
49th parallel, we often react
as If one of our own States
had decided to control its
own international relations.
1t is hardly surprising that
Canada resents this attitude,
and it is high time Ameri-
cans began learning some
thing of their giant, north
ern neighbor. knowledge Of
a country begins with knowl-
edge of its history, and it is
a pleasure to report that Cor
deal by Fire" is a masterful,
popular exposition of events
in Canada from 1910 to 1945.
NO HISTORY covering this
period can be definitive, for
many sources are still re-
garded as the private proper
ty of the heirs of the men
who partly made that his
tory, and Ralph Allen, the
editor of Maclean's Maya
zine, has emphasized this,
both in his text and in a
harsh note at the end of the
book.
Nevertheless it is possible
to find a way through the
battling complexities of the
period, and Mr.. Allen has
done this with a clear head,
a clear eye, and a clear style.
1t is impossible to view
Canadian politics as a ques-
ton of one side versus the
other: there were (and are)
too many often fluid group
ings for that. Allen makes
it possible for example to fol-
low that master manipulation
Mackenzie King, under whose
sign much of the perio d
stands, through the election
of 1921 in which Mr.. Kings
Liberals outflanked and en-
quilted the agrarian Pro-
gresSives.
Almost Immediately there
after, we find Mr.. King in
a foreign policy crisis. Lon
don urged the Dominions to
join her in defending tn q
Dardanelles against the re-
vived Turks under Mustaphs
Xemal. Mr.. King, with one
eye on the Conservative OPP
position, the other on the
ever-suspicious French Ca
nadians, and perhaps an in.
ner eye on his own view;
adroitly stepped aside, anc
again Mr.. Allen demonstrate.
a remarkable gift to expoun6
the complex without con-
fusion.
The relations of the
Dominions and Great Britain
in matters of foreign policy
almost make Canadian do
nestle politics appear simple
despite occasional formal ar.
rangements like that made
at the Imperial Conference
of 1925 and the famous
Statute of Westminster o.

Deficits and Tax Cuts

The Federal deficit for the fiscal
year which ended June 80 was $1,000
100000. For such consolation as it may
offer, this is about what had been ex-
pected. Better things were anticipated,
however, for the fiscal year which has
Just begun. On several occasions the
President had promised that there
would be budgetary surplus. And the
budget message which went to Congress
last January forecast surplus of some
100000 Budget Director David E.
Bell offered assurance that the budget
was neither rugged nor phony'' and that
it involved no distorted judgments to
produce the promised surplus But this,
alas, has gone the way of those best
laid plans of mice and men," Of which
Robert Burns once wrote. The outlook
now is for another deficit in this fiscal
year of at least $4,000 00,0 900.
Nevertheless, the clamor for an
immediate tax cut is growing, and even
the United States Chamber of Com
merce has Joined the chorus. If the
President yields to this demand the
deficit more probably will be in the
neighborhood of $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO. We
hope he will not yield. And we agree
with Senator Williams, ranking minority
member of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, when he says: Ito cut taxes now,
in the face of this continuing deficit
and before corresponding reduction
in expenditures has been achieved,
would be the height of fiscal ire
sponSibility."
This may not be sophisticated"
estimate of the situation. But we think
it is the truth.

Debated Dollar

There is one thing for GER
tain! We are going to be
obliged to call a halt to ma
tional spending. Our national
debt has reached the stag
gering sum of about 1927 bill
lion. At one time this year
President Kennedy stated
that he would like the debt
ceiling raised to 1903 billion.
When will we stop this nom
sense?
Initiation has already pain
fully Debated the value of a
dollar, which in 1899 was
worth 81. Now 1t is worth
about 46.1 cents, and still 60
ing down. When will it stop?
The person trying to live
on a small fixed income or a
small retirement pension is
fighting a losing battle. His
financial means are little
enough with the dollar at its
regular value, but how dis
couraging it must be as he
views the steadily decreasing
purchasing power of hi;
livelihood. Actually, he is moi
being treated honestly, be-
cause when he earned his
pension, it was at full value
to the dollar, and he is now
taking a cut in his pay due
to initiation.
