<DIV></DIV>>If you have not already seen this, it is a very interesting viewpoint by a
<DIV></DIV>>Canadian.

<DIV></DIV>>You might find this tribute hits home about who we as Americans are:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES
<DIV></DIV>>This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.
<DIV></DIV>>America: The Good Neighbor.
<DIV></DIV>>Widespread but only partial news coverage was given
<DIV></DIV>>recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from
<DIV></DIV>>Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
<DIV></DIV>>Commentator. What follows is the full text of his
<DIV></DIV>>trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional
<DIV></DIV>>Record:
<DIV></DIV>>"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the
<DIV></DIV>>Americans as the most generous and possibly the
<DIV></DIV>>least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany,
<DIV></DIV>>Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy
<DIV></DIV>>were lifted out of the debris of war by the
<DIV></DIV>>Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
<DIV></DIV>>forgave other billions in debts.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>None of these countries is today paying even the
<DIV></DIV>>interest on its remaining debts to the United
<DIV></DIV>>States. When France was in danger of collapsing in
<DIV></DIV>>1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and
<DIV></DIV>>their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the
<DIV></DIV>>streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the
<DIV></DIV>>United States that hurries in to help. This spring,
<DIV></DIV>>59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes.
<DIV></DIV>>Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman
<DIV></DIV>>Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged
<DIV></DIV>>countries. Now newspapers in those countries are
<DIV></DIV>>writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I'd like to see just one of those countries that is
<DIV></DIV>>gloating over the erosion of the United States
<DIV></DIV>>dollar build its own airplane. Does any other
<DIV></DIV>>country in the world have a plane to equal the
<DIV></DIV>>Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the
<DIV></DIV>>Douglas DC10?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the
<DIV></DIV>>International lines except Russia fly American
<DIV></DIV>>planes? Why does no other land on earth even
<DIV></DIV>>consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You
<DIV></DIV>>talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios.
<DIV></DIV>>You talk about German technocracy, and you get
<DIV></DIV>>automobiles. You talk about American technocracy,
<DIV></DIV>>and you find men on the moon - not once, but several
<DIV></DIV>>times - and safely home again.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>You talk about scandals, and the Americans put
<DIV></DIV>>theirs right in the store window for everybody to
<DIV></DIV>>look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued
<DIV></DIV>>and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most
<DIV></DIV>>of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are
<DIV></DIV>>getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to
<DIV></DIV>>spend here.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>When the railways of France, Germany and India were
<DIV></DIV>>breaking down through age, it was the Americans who
<DIV></DIV>>rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
<DIV></DIV>>New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an
<DIV></DIV>>old caboose. Both are still broke.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced
<DIV></DIV>>to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name
<DIV></DIV>>me even one time when someone else raced to the
<DIV></DIV>>Americans in trouble? I don't think there was
<DIV></DIV>>outside help even during the San Francisco
<DIV></DIV>>earthquake.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
<DIV></DIV>>Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get
<DIV></DIV>>kicked around. They will come out of this thing
<DIV></DIV>>with their flag high. And when they do, they are
<DIV></DIV>>entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are
<DIV></DIV>>gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada
<DIV></DIV>>is not one of those."!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Stand proud, America! Wear it proudly!!
<DIV></DIV>>This is one of the best editorials that I have ever
<DIV></DIV>>read regarding the United States. It is nice that
<DIV></DIV>>one man realizes it. I only wish that the rest of
<DIV></DIV>>the world would realize it. We are always blamed for
<DIV></DIV>>everything, and never even get a thank you for the
<DIV></DIV>>things we do.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I would hope that each of you would send this to as
<DIV></DIV>>many people as you can and emphasize that they
<DIV></DIV>>should send it to as many of their friends until
<DIV></DIV>>this letter is sent to every person on the web. I am
<DIV></DIV>>just a single American that has read this, TRIBUTE TO
<DIV></DIV>>THE UNITED STATES
