Recent polls, taken in Cunada, show consid- erable favosnble reaction to such a suggestion, although | a large preponderance of opinion in the Dominion op- | poses it. Millions of Americans are strongly in favor of a union, provided it were built within the structure of government we now enjoy There, of cowse, is the rub. While Canada and the United States’ are much alike, still our govern- ments are different. In event of union, most U. S citizens would expect all Canadian citizens to fall under our forms. Naturally enough, Canadians don’t like the idea. They would be perfectly willing, we presume, to accept a partnership provided Canadian administration would predominate something to which the United States never could accede It is better, then, to continue as we are—along a course of mutual assistance and understanding, Such a program has its disadvantages, of course. At the moment Canada is short of dollars, while U. S housewives are paving much more for meats than are the housewives of Canada. Union might eliminate both difficulties—but it would stir up scores of others more vexing and doubly complicated Let's tread, peaceably and amicably—as we have for many years —the common ground. As time and custo pass, perhaps the common ground will become broader; per- haps eventually these two great lands can come to- gether as a tingle, powerful democracy. But that time is not now. Too many differences; too many points of issue still exist Understanding with Russia (Christian Science Monitor) The firm statement of the British-American pur- pose to “Stay in Berlin’ ade by Secreta Marshall and Foreign Minister ‘Bevin is a good foundation for settling that question with the Russians. This is so mainly because stated purpose is at once backed by a striking demcnstration of power. Fleets of British and American planes flving food in to the German popula- tion have apparently impresed Russians as well as Germans. It would be foelish to assume that this “battle of orlin” has been won.

So not attractive to them. But neither is war, for their e weary and their country devastated So there is some hope that with firmness in the 56 lement ad- an eventual- vantageous to both Russia and the West—c ly be achieved. “Niggardly” and Unfair (New York Times) President Truman used justifiably strong language in affixing his reluctant signature to the Displaced Per- | sons Act of 1948. This measure, as he said, is “flag- rantly discriminator it was reported, after long and inexcusable delay, “without a single public hear- ing”; it was delayed in passage until the last days of the session; its provisions are such that they must have been deliberately directed against refugees of the Jewish and Catholic religions; and shamefully “niggardly conditions” are imposed on those who will be permitted to enter. Mr. Truman signed the act solely because it seemed to him a little better than none at all. He hopes, as must all f: minded people, that Congress “will remedy this gross discrimination at its earliest opportunity.” No enlightened critic of this law would ask that there be discrimintion in favor of the followers of any faith. Such a selection would be contrary to the letter and spirit of our laws. The one principle of selection should have been human need. We should have helped those who suffered most under the Hitler terror and those who have since fled from another terror. 'This would have been in keepnig with a hu- manity we like to think of as American. It would also have given us good and useful citizens, able to do their full part in building up this country. These new citi- zens would have been in harmony with a great Ameri- can tradition, for from the very beginning the political refugee has contributed mightily to the national char- acter, bringing with him a passion for freedom and democracy. The Eightieth Congress, if it meets again, the Eighty-first if the Eightieth does not meet, can rectify this dismal error. We hove that both sets of national candidates in the coming campaign will insist, as Mr. Truman has done, that it be rectified. in the{—blood and treasure—to end a war already started.
