THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1940 PAGE FIVE 3ring English Over Here Make Britain A Gibraltar K Plea Of Author Hints Canada Might v Find Self at War With .. Japan Toronto, Sept. 19 -- Canada might find herself "automatically" at war with as a result of the new ment between Canada and the United States for joint defense of this hemisphere, John MacCormac told a special meeting of the Cana- dian Club here. Mr. MacCormac is the New York Times correspondent who returned ll to his native Canada after holding important foreign staff posts and applied his energy to explaining Canada to Americans in his best selling "Canada, America's Problem" and in newspaper and magazine ar- ticles. His speech yesterday was, in part, explaining America to Canadians; in part putting Canada's status on the record. Would Transfer English In conclusion he proposed "let's bring the English over here. Britain is too near Europe in this age of air power to be a comfortable place for so many to live in." Continuing, he said: "The sceptred isle has grown too small and the Channel too narrow to hcuse and defend so many people and so much industry. As a manufacturer and trader it seems to me the British could carry o.. business just as well from Canada in time of peace, and far more safely in time of war. Let's make Britain the Gibraltar of a British - American commonwealth whose main base will be on this continent. If you ask me whether Canada should choose the United States or choose Great Britain, 1 say: 'Let's choose both." Mr. MacCormac discussed joint defense plan, saying: "Although we do not know just what the Canadian-American De- fense Commisison will recommend, we realize that the implications of its appointment and of the exchange of British naval and air bases against American destroyers are al. most incalculable. Permanent Allies "Never before in the history of British-American relations has any. thing like it happened while the United States was at peace. Britain and the United States have acknowl- edged before the world an identity of interest that is to endure for 99 years. They have been sundered for only 164. The United States, accord- ing to the openly expressed opinion of some of her commentators, is al ready in the war. Whether this is so or not, the United States and the British Empire are now permanent allies in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine which was conceived in Britain, if born in the United States, has now itself borne fruit and the fruit has bred true to its ancestry. The United States must defend Br 1 territory in the the Western Hemisphere for her own' security, Britain has lent her ad- vanced bases the better to defend it and to defend herself. Ninety-nine ears means Technically there may be no compromise of sov- ereignty. Actually, it is shared. "The Canadian - American agree- ment, although a logical develop- ent of Canada's position vis a vis e United States, recognizes that special position for the first time It means that Canada has becomr lan ally of the United States and is preparing to give the alliance forma ilitary effect. That is of tremen- forever, John MacCormac dous importance to Canada and may be of tremendous importance to the whole British Empire. . "Obviously the British Empire cannot be partly for the United States and partly against it. Canada, now that she has become a perman- ent ally of the United States, must either take the British Empire in spirit with her into that alliance or draw away from that Empire. One of the few qualifications of her in- dependence as against Britain has long been her obligation to main- tain the harbors of Halifax and Es- quimault for the use of the British navy. Her sovereignty is now to be qualified by an arrangement to allow the American fleet and air arm to use her bases if the Western Hem- isphere is attacked. She is to share the defense of Newfoundiand im- mediately with the United States. Newfoundland, of course, commands the eastern seaboard of Canada and contains the St. Lawrence. If and when the St. Lawrence waterway and the proposed strategic road from the American border north through Canadian territory to Alas- ka gre built, Canada and the Unit. ed States will be practically sitting in each other's laps. Have Common Policy "The; Canadian-American agree- ment for common study of the de- fense of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere will obviously, if it results in a commitment for common defense, imply a certain commitment to common policy. There are economic and diplomatic as well as military and naval weap- ons, a fact of which that skilful co- ordinator of all of them, Adolf Hit. ler, has been reminding us these last seven years. Defense in part on the dangers you invite. Before Canada participates in another war it would seem to me that she must consult the United States about it. "The agreement not only will com. mit the United States to co-operate in the defense of Canada but com- mit Canada to defend the United States. That may seem academic .at the moment. But no war lasts forever, and no peace lasts forever. Supposing the United States should ly enough most Americans seem to contemplate that prospect with far more equanimity that participation in g war in Europe. It may be urged, of course, that even without a defense agreement the a major war without obliging Can- ada, in the performance of her duties as a neutral, to keep her ter- ritory from being used as a base of attack against her southern neigh- bor. That is true, but if the enemy were willing to allow Canada to re- involved in the war. But now, if the United States went to war, she would have bases available in Cane ada' not only for the defense of Canada, but for attack on any ene- my fleet which should threaten the United States. seem, in certain contingencies Can. ada would automatically become a participant in" any American war, and the choice of neutrality would not be open to her. "Would Canada's obligation also >ommit the rest of the British Em- Mire? Well, Great Britain, it seems, s nretty well committed by the leas- ing of her own air and naval bases. should not be at all surprised, ext year, to see a defense under- anding between the United States nd Australia and New Zealand. | i ? i | get into a war with Japan?

Officials Doubt Movement Of War No Word Here That British Government Has Drop: ped Scheme Toronto, Sept 19 -- No indication that the United Kingdom govern- ment has dropped its scheme for the mass movement of children to safe wartime homes in Canada has reached officials here On the con- trary, the public Welfare Depart- ment of the Ontario Government and the Children's Aid Society of the province, respectively in charge of reception and placement, are pre- pared for further arrivals at any moment. "Ship movements are so fully guarded that the children are it," said George Tattle, Deputy Min- ister of Welfare. "We expect more, certainly--no word has come to us that the movement has been aban- doned, or even halted." Ontario Takes 596 So far Ontario has absorbed 596 of 1467 reaching Canada under the government evacuation plan, Near- ly 'half of these were "nominated" children--spoken for in advance by relatives or friends. Of Ontario's total, whom 92 went to specified homes With re-opening shortly, residences thera are no longer available as clearing | stations. The Oddfellows' Home on Davenport road will be used for this purpose, and one wing of it is al- ready fitted up for 150 children Accommodation for an additional 350 will be fixed up shortly, are moved to another home in Bar- rie. Total accommodation can be stepped up to 1,200 if necessary. The Oddfellows' Hall has a large gymnasium and also an auditorium, in which motion picture shows for the expected young Britons will be arranged. B. W.

Ontario citizens are prepared take in about 30,000 more British children, according to Mr. Heise, and | this number would doubtless be in- | ereased if the need arose.
