>>TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES

>>

>>This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.

>>

>>America: The Good Neighbor.

>>

>>Widespread but only partial news coverage was given

>>recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from

>> Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television

>> commentator. What follows is the full text of his

>> trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional

>> Record:

>>

>> "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the

>> Americans as the most generous and possibly 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 the

>> decadent, warmongering Americans.

>>

>> I'd like to see just one of those countries that is

>> gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar

>> build its own airplane. Does any other country in the

>> world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the

>> Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why

>> don't they fly them? Why do all the International

>> lines except Russia fly American Planes?

>>

>> Why does no other land on earth even consider putting

>> a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese

>> technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German

>> technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about

>> American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -

>> not once, but several times and safely home again.

>>

>> You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs

>> right in the store window for everybody to look at.

>> Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded.

>> They are here 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 damned 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!

>> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

>> This is one of the best editorials that I have ever

>> read regarding the United States. It is nice that one

>> man realizes it. I only wish that the rest of the

>> world would realize it. We are always blamed for

>> everything, and never even get a thank you for the

>> things we do.

>>

>> I would hope that each of you would send this to as

>> many people as you can and emphasize that they should

>> send it to as many of their friends until this letter

>> is sent to every person on the web. I am just a single

>> American that has read this, I SURE HOPE THAT A LOT

>> MORE READ IT SOON.
