"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most and possible
the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and to a lesser extent Britain and Italy
were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave
other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its
remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956 it was the Americans who propped it up
and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris.
I was there. I saw it!

When earthquakes hit distant cities it is the United States that hurries in to help.
This spring 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries.
Now newspapers in those countries are writing about decadent, warmongering Americans.

You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at.
Even their draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded.
They are on our streets and most of them unless they are breaking Canadian laws are
getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age
it was the Americans who rebuilt them.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke,
nobody loaned them an old caboose! Both are still broke.

I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.
Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble?
I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone and I'm one Canadian who is dammed tired of hearing
them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high.
And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that
are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."
Stand Proud America!
As Always...
Canadians Stand United With You!
