The American attitude TO
Canada over the past few
months hardly seems to be
very intelligent. when the
Diefenbaker Government by
a series Of catastrophe blum
ders had brought Canadian
Anne rican relations to the
lowest point in history. there
was intense interest In the
United States In Canadian
affairs. But this interest
quickly withered with the
election Of the Liberal Party
under the leadership Of Mr..
L. B. Pearson, q tested and
valuable friend Of this coun-
try. Now the customary atti-
tude-not In the Kennedy
Administration but I'm ong
the public generally-is one
Of rather weary indifference
punctuated by Smodtc
surprise when Canada sells
wheat to Russia or seeks to
reduce its purchases Of spare
parts from American firms.
Greater knowle dge Of
Canadian conditions would
prevent these erratic and
allow impressions from
usurping the place of respon-
sible Judgment. A more seri-
GUS question exists: If Amer
leans know so little about
what is happening to their
next door neighbors in Cana
da, how much can they real
ly understand about events
In France and Wet Nam?
It was always unreasonable
to expect Prime Minister
Pearson to conjure away Ca
nada's problem S in a few
short months. The in h eri-
lance from the Diefenbaker
era was at once too squalid
and too encumbering for any
such swift solution. The mi
nority government Of Mr..
Pearson must work within
Inevitable restraints in Par
lament. It has already begun
the tasks Of Quickening Ca
nada's economic growth and
restoring Canada's influence
as a sensible counsellor In
world affairs. But these tasks
will require the passage Of
time, and the application Of
many new policies, before
they are completed.

Comprehension, Aworeness Urged
On UNDERLYING Economic Realities


Nor was It ever sensible to
expect easy and tranquil
relations with Canada merely
because Mr.. Pearson had re-
place d Mr.. Diefenbaker as
Prime Minister. The automa-
tic relations Of good fellow
ship have gone, never to re-
turn. Obstinate problems Of
vast completely exist to chal-
lenge both governments. The
difference, the salutary and
fundamental difference, Is
that the Kennedy Admin
istration now finds itself
dealing with q Canadian gov
eminent which 1t can trust.
President Kennedy viii al
ways be staunchly American
in his outlook, Just as Mr..
Pearson will always be I'M
swervingly Canadian In his
commitments. But on many
matters they have no trouble
in reaching agreement, and
even where they must disa-
gree, they will differ with
respect. This improved tenn
per permeates every rank Of
the Kennedy administration
and explains the new values
which now guide the discus
sion Of old problems.
In Canada it will be a
matter for regret that Sena-
tor Paul Douglas. so greatly
respected by Canadians, has
been critical of the wheat
deal with Russia. All the
same, the dominant senti-
ment will be one of gratitude
that American criticism, on
the whole, has been sparse
and moderate.
What is not generally I'M
derstood here is that when 1t
comes to the sale Of wheat,
most Canadians, regardless
of party. refuse to b elieve
that trade In peacetime
should be governed by politi-
cal or theological influences.
This policy is deeply rooted
in the c an q dian tradition
and long antedates both Mr..
Pearson and Mr.. Diefenbak-
er. For this reason any at
tempt by Americans to lee
ture or rebuke Canadians on
the pattern Of their indepen-
dent trade policies would at

that would damage many in
terests unconnected with
commercial m alters. Thus
far the folly Of clumsy inter-
ference with Canadian az
fairs has been avoided. Am
erican restraint has been OBJ
served with appreciation in
Canada.
Unfortunately the reports
in the American press have
given O distorted impression
Of the recent conference be-
tween representatives Of the
two governments. II would
almost seem as II the Cana
dian delegation had come to
Washington for the primary
purpose Of canceling many
orders for spare automobile
parts from the United States.
The members Of the Ken
nedy c q binet know better.
They received a profound
and extensive exposition Of
Canada's basic economic
problems from their Cana
dian visitors. They know that
the issue Of spare parts, over
which Canadians have shown
great concern for many
years, is only one segment Of
the larger problem of Cana
da's dollar expenditures in
the United States.
Canada always buys far
more from the United States
than it sells to this country,
and the adverse balance can
only be met by American in
vestm ents. These invest
ments are very advantageous
to Canada in an economic
sense, but they create other
problems affecting national
pride and independence. The
United States Government
must not comfort itself with
the easy assumption that 1t
will hear the end Of Canada's
problems when this trouble
some question of spare parts
has been settled. It will be
unworthy Of the partnership
with Canada unless 1t shows
more comprehension and
awareness Of the underlying
realities.

Past Objections Viewed as Removed

taught the lesson that COM
munism cannot s survive on
wheat alone, nor fall because
of the lack Of 1t.
In the past there have
been logical reasons for not
selling wheat to Russia. She
was not prepared to pay for
1t on a basis favorable to the
United States balance Of
trade. But conditions are DIFF
ferent today. Time and again
Premier Khrushchev told
Agriculture Secretary Orville
Freeman on his recent trip to
Russia: I'VE can buy. We've
got the money" Khrushchev
was speaking not merely Of
wheat. He wanted whole fer
tilizer plants and other equip
ment Of q non-military ma
ture. IF We can't get It from
you, Wen get 1t somewhere
else" Khrush c h ev said.
We've got plenty Of rock
cts" he added. I'VE want to
build I'D our agriculture"
That Khrushchev was
talking about paying In
cash-in gold or its equiva-
lent in American dollar cred
its-is clearly illustrated by
his deal with Canada. And,
in these terms. trade with
Russia begins to make sense,

could not be worked out.
