Promoter of Disunity |road {route, (Philadelphia Record) A lot of Americans got a laugh out of the latest I proposal of Colonel Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune The proposal called for the United States absorb- ‘lng the British Commonwealth of Nations. (all but the British he Empire. England, suggested, would Africa) and Wales and. Ireland, South But the proposal was no laughing matter. Some of the British took it seriously, and began to wonder whether we really planned ta take over the British Empire—as the Axis radio had been telling them. The Montreal Gazette declared the idea was no It said: “In the McCormick plan, with its specious imitation of a world outlook, there may well be a weapdn for power isolationism.” Now Japan proves that McCormick was sinisher than facetious by openly praising him more McCormick is an ex- . America today needs many more characters like this Chicago veteran.’ It touted the plan afeguarding American- ism,” and attacked the “radical interventionists led by Mr. Roosevelt,” Tokyo reminded Agnericans of something that the scoffers often forget—that the Chicago Tribune has a circulation of 1,000,000 (daily), and there are declared: “Robert James A. O'Connor to eliminate the synthetic name “Alcan” in connection with the 1,630-mile highway | which extends from Dawson Creek, British Colum- bla, to Fairbanks, Alaska “Alcan” was always a hybrid and artificial word. It meant nothing to anyone, It certainly did not connote Alaska, to which the highway leads. It did not connote Canada, across which most of the high- way runs. It was an attempt to improve on lan- guage, a difficult undertaking =t best. “Alean” was originally applied to the highway, to assuage the Canadians. Yet, as Gen. O'Connor pointed out, it was the Canadians who took the lead in urging that the offensive name be abandoned Canadian newspapers refused to use the term. Mem- bers of parliament protested. In his letter to the Canadian archives, transmitting the Bulkley Journal whi¢h Gen. O'Connor had given him, Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King referred to the road as “the Alaska-Canada Highway” and declined to give inter- national voice to the hybrid word. The highway leads to Alaska, and that is what the name of the road should indicate. Gen. O'Con- nor's use of the word “militar in the title of the other powerful papers owned by the McCormick- | Patterson dynasty peddling the same brand of poison —the New, York Daily News and the Washington Times-Herald Some, of us may think that McCormick belongs in a comic book. Japan knows better. This latest proposal to create disunity between Britain and the United States is only one of a long series of Ropsevelt-hating, isolationist, anti-United Nations tactics by the McCormick-Patterson press It-has sneered at Britain, accused Roosevelt of dragging us into the war even after Pearl Harbor, warned of “dictatorship” and cancellation of elections, cast aspersions at Russia and so on ad nauseam.
