Canadian Prime Ministers he has known had better knowledge of Americans or greater de sire to get on with them than Mr John Diefenbaker He assured ABC members that there is no wave of antiAmericanisrn in Canada any more than there is plot afoot in the United states to make Can ada its satellite There are the people who tell us that Canadas part must be to either contra dict American Manifest Destiny or to thwart British Imperialismpeople who assure us that our role is in one day ex plaining to Americans why Englishmen behave as Englishmen and in the next day explaining to Englishnien why

would all prefer to have rand houses built in estates with picturewindows looking upon lakes or moun tains and with curving motor road from the gates to the main entrance But such things do not come
