I << was in tears as I sat here and thought about the thousands of people whose << lives have changed forever. << << << << < <<< A 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. << < <<< << < << << << << << << << << << << << << << < <
