the georgetown herald wednesday evening april 24th 1940 page 7 important defence coordination during the past few weeks there bave been numerous stories about pending changes in the administrative structure of canada s army navy and air forces but the latest authen tic information from parliament hill discloses that with the possible excep tions of the creation in the near fu ture of a special ministry of supply the government has decided against the establishment of a separate de partment for each of the services t army navy and air forces will continue under the hon norman ro gers as minister of national defence with three separate deputies for each branch namely 1aoa henri des- rosiert for the army lt col k s madlachlan for the navy ejid james duncan for the air post this fol lows the trend in britain where there lias been a co ordination of defence matters under one minister further mare n kperiai cpynmlttee of the oa binet in ottawa will continue to meei often 1n order to decide on important defence matters and other problems of canada 8 war effort no parliamentary undersecretabies again and again it has been sug gested in official circles that with the intensification of the hostilities abroad tbe government would be obliged to name parliamentary undersecretaries to speak in the house for the mini sters when they are very busy how ever lt is certain now that this will not be done at the coming session opening may is since the cabinet is not in favour of this change at the present time preferring that each one shall speak for himself or that an other minister shall assist bis con frere when the latter is unable to do so for his own departmenlxor one reason or another americancanadian relations and the war although the official press reports from ottawa announced only recent ly that the kng administration as one of the first moves on the inter national scene since the elctlons in tends soon to seek new ways and means not only to preserve the markably benevolent neutrality of the united states countering the power ful pxopoganada machines of gjer- many italy and russia but even to improve the present americancana dian relations by solving quickly and in a very friendly manner pressing problems which have arisen between these two neighbouring countries in recent months on account of one be ing a neut and the ot a gerent yet it has been known for a long time in reliable and wellinform ed circles on parliament hill that a determined even anxious section of opinionated officialdom in washington has been having an increasingly dim cult task to prevent open defiance of the international rules on neutrality by a vas number of americans this powerful section or public opinion wants to help the democratic nations to win an early and decisive victory over the dictators particularly show lng a growing impatience with any rule or authority which interferes with any direct aid5o canada s war effort in other words the united states is now finding it extremely difficult to make their neutrality even mere formality and this fact cannot be ignored in canada with the result that to deny una historymauns role being played hy canada in negotia tions of all kind between the allies and the united states is simply a fogylsh nnd nonsensical action soon after the ballots were counted in the last general election the king administration in ottawa began to take stock of the whole vital matter of american relations to the allied cause especially noting some signifi cant recent occurrences which indicated in which way the wind was blowing in the land of the powerful neighbour to the south ottawa saw that the illegal and unneutral declaration of the american minister to canada hon james cromwell was not fol lowed by the customary recall but by a flood of over 1200 messages of con gratulations reaching the legation in canada s capital ottawa could not ignore the fact that while prsa edi torials favouring the allies and con demning their enemies were allowed freely similar efforts by the prop gandists of their enemies in that land were tfanned though this is clearly a violation of the rules of international law on neutrality ottawa noted that the steady surveys of the american institute of public opinion indicated that the american people favoured direct and continuous aid to canada s war effort reaching lately a propor tion of 87 per cent in favour of such a policy ottawa observed that ameri can economics were being tuned in do not encounter much difficulty and many others oonsequantly it is the sound and reliable opinion on parliament bui now that it is absolutely vital for the allied cause that canada should do all in her power to retain and even improve relatons with her powerful and benevolent neighbour to tbe south and there are signs thai cms will be accomplished by progress on the st lawrence seaways project by continuance of the reciprocal trade agreement made in 1036 by easing restrictions on americans resident or doing business in canada particular ly in regard to foreign exchange and secuiitics held by americans since most other nations exempt americans from the registration or possible re quisition of such assets by finding a way whereby greater numbers of am ericans may be enabled to enlist in canada s air and military forces with out losing their own citizenship or without compelling them to swear al legiance to the king which was re cently hinted as a means to an end by president roosevelt at a press con- eerence and by doing all other things which would not endanger the good will now growing steadily between the united states and canada ottawa is determined even anxious to cement this north american friend shlpfjind it caneasuy and readily be gucsd by the average reader how this effective work is causing official and unofficial alarm in the socalled nondescript ranks of the dictators with the allusive suggestion that can perfect harmony to that of the allies adas exact role will be a postwar in trade treaties trade restrictions i sensation- shipping credit foreign exchange and virtually breaking their own laws in order to help the auies especially canada s war time economy ottawa attached wide significance in the action of the united states in toler ating the harmful effects on their own business of some of canada s wartime actions such as canadas depreciated currency in terms of the american dollars because this has im posed a severe handicap on the am- rlcan exporters in favour of the can adian exporters since both have been doing business under a reciprocal trade agreement wherein there is a clause providing that either nation may give notice of cancellation of the pact if either country feels that ex change conditions were such as to les sen or to destroy the-beneftts- ofthe- sald agreement which would be disaster for canada if it happened now ottawa has noted that the unit ed states has set many new prece dents in interpreting hiternauonal laws on neutrality so far as canada is conccmd with numerous examples of this tact existing such as when canadian army airplanes fly over or land ac dentally on socalled neu tral american territory they are always allowed to return or when airplanes cannot be flown across from a so cftlieu neutral american terri tory they are allowed to be dragged across i una ways tilted towards can ada s soil or when americans enlist in any canadian armed service they reproduction prohibited 1m0 edu cational features syndicate c jts ini jly l take my vacation
