Show j j t CANADA SUFFERS A j CHANGE OF HEART ! The Iloston Transcript, through E. W. Thomp- J son, reports n chnnge of heart In Canada toward j America. According to this shrewd observer thero J rro signs that a new sympathy of Canndlans fo: j Americans begins to replace the bitterness Incited j by the struggle In both countries two years ago over reciprocity. In eve-y province tho rensonablo papers, Including Includ-ing somo thnt nro considered tory, nre aiding to bring about a reaction from enmity to the United States. The Ottnwn Citizen for example, a supporter sup-porter of the Horden administration, protests vigorously vig-orously ngnlnst tho London Saturday Rovlow try-ing try-ing to projudlco Ctinadn nnd England ngnlnst America Amer-ica end for Japan. Tho Citizen caustically surmises sur-mises that this Ilrltlsh mediaeval tory Is spurred bv tho dealers In nrmnments, nnd declares that "no belf respecting Canadian publication will becomo a party to such venality." It may be Buspected that the defeat of the Bor-den Bor-den proposal to glvo England $35,000,000 of Canadian Cana-dian money to build Hrltlsh warships was partly duo to the rcvulBlon of dUgust over the Krupp at- fair in Germany.

Tho great numbers j of American Immigrants In the western provinces, who moro and mere become an Important factor In the pollt'cnl calculations of the liberals and the conservatives, Incline toward the liberal party In Canadian politics. This pnjrty Is more friendly than tho conservatives toward the United States, and the reinforcement of It by citizens of American orl-gin orl-gin should tend Increasingly to strengthen tho traditional tra-ditional friendship between Canada and America,. |
