- subject : tribute to america
- subject : tribute to america
- i needed to read this in light of yesterday ' s events . . . . .
- 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 dcl 0 ?
- 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 ! wear it proudly ! !
- 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 , tribute to
- the united states
