Is there, as some people contend, really a “widening gap” between us and the neighbor to North, w for so many years has been our t friend? | We refer to Canada. Is it true that during ahd since the war a feeling of bitterness has grown up in at least the Western part of the t British dominion against Americans, and t this bitterness has become especially notice- able during the acy summer against American visitors to Canada? Canada and the United States have just dedi- cated an arch at Blaine, commemorating 100 . of peace between the two countries, be- 4 een which there lies no barrier other than a surveyor’s line. : Was this dedication a mockery? Did it take on the eve of a rupture, engendered by Pelousies, amisu standing, trade disagree- ments and the like? ; The Star asked these and other ions sev- > eral days ago in a letter sent to editors of leading daily newspapers thruout Western Can- THE SEATTLE 'STAR ada. “What,” The Star asked, “is needed to make Canadian-American relations warm and friendly? In what ways can American news- papers assist to that end?” The replies are not all in as yet, but such as have come are heart-warming and enlightening. Unanimously they bear a spirit of the warmest friendship for the United States and flatly con- tradict the assertions of letters which have come to The Star from Americans, who declared that there is an antagonistic feeling against Uncle Sam across the border. It was these letters from Americans that in- spired The Star to start its inquiry. One Canadian paper printed The Star’s letter editorially. And several private Canadian citi- zens wrote to The Star their observations on the situation. It may or may not be significant that their observations did not tally with those of the newspaper editors. The private citizens contended that there IS an unfriendly spirit ap- parent, tho they all deplored it, and hoped that it might be eradicated. Are the Canadian editors trying to ‘cover u a situation which they really sense, but which they refuse to recognize openly? The Star thinks not. The Star is convinced that between the great bulk of Americans and Canadians there is the friendliest feeling and that it will always continue. As one Canadian editor expressed it: “Both people will preserve their genius for controversy which, whether in the United States or Canada or the United Kingdom, seems to be one of the cxtstanding characteristics of Eng- lish-speaking people. If they did not, I would say they were losing their virility. “We will have differences over boundaries, tariffs, fisheries, etc., just as the Western Amer- ican people will have differences with the East on the Oriental question, and Western Canadian provinces will differ with Eastern provinces on the fiscal policy. “But there are actually no vital obstacles in the way of the maintenance of the most cordial relations between the two countries, and this is TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1921. well realized by the great mass of the Canadian people.” One source of “peeve” in Canada against Americans, the editors wrote, is the exchange system which discounts the Canadian dollar in America, Another is for some American to go into Can- ada, practically every home of which still feels the wound of the Great Struggle,and say “America won the war.” The Canadians, however, the Canadian edit- ors contend, consider that economic conditions dictate the exchange rate and that Americans who make derogatory and thoughtless remarks when in Canada do not represent the average American. Beginning tomorrow The Star will publish a letter a day from the Canadian newspaper men, alternating them with the letters from private Canadian citizens. Read them.
