  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.

    Bill Gelberg
