Ottawa, June 19â€"Motor car producâ€" tion in Canada, as a result of an order some months ago, was reduced by 20 per cent compared with the 1940 basis. Behind this restriction is the conâ€" tinuing purpose of saving steel and other mecals and rubber entering into war production: It is part of the potâ€" icy of endeavoring to divert industry to war lines as much as possible, _A new order, providing for further curtaiiment, is expected in a few days. Britain and the New World to be comrades in War and in Peace The extent to which the motor car industry is engaged in war work is inâ€" dicated by the fact that some 120,009 motorized units have already been turned out, while 80000 are on order. The great activity is in those lines, not in ordinary cars or commercial vehicles. Curtailment of production of care may affect somewhat the consumption of gasoline but no rationing is in view. The oil controller, G. R. Cottrelle, plans to confer with the industry reâ€" specting methods of conservation of oil products for war purposes, which may affect retail supplies. (From The CGlobe and Mail) Frank Knox; Secretary of the United States, Navy, represented to Canadians what they consider the finest traditions of Ameriran character and of Ameriâ€" can history in his Moniéreal speech Monday night. The fact mentioned by Hon. Arthur Purvis that Mr. Knox had a Canadian mother and a Canadian father did make it seem that United Statesâ€"Canada partnership in the deâ€" fense of North America is one of the most natural things in the world. t did more than that: It emphasized further and most significantly closer ties than ever before because of the amazingly swift growth in the minds of United States citizens of a realizaâ€" tion that has never been lost sight of by ‘the majority of Canadians that Navy together make, one of the strongâ€" est bulwarks which the Monroe docâ€" trine has ever had. It has only beâ€" come really apparent in the last year that allied victory in the Great War gave this continent and this hemisâ€" phere another quarter century of freedom from the German menace. Méntal Aloofness Breaks as Peril Comes Closer How far United States sentiment and opinion have traveled in a year is emâ€" phasized in my mind by a reâ€"reading of the pamphlet, "North America and the War: A Canadian View," by Proâ€" fessor Reginald G. Trotter of Queen‘s University (Oxford University Press, Toronto). At the time it was issued last summer the situation was such that Professor Trotter, who has been a close student of international relaâ€" tions between Canada and the United States ever since his student days at universities in both countries, regardâ€" ed the majority of United States citiâ€" zens as determined to fight only if the United States were attacked. . Thair mental allofness from the struggle made the mass of people receptive to isolationist arguments for physical aloofness as well. They had been ~educated by continuous propaganda for years to the idea that their | Distribution of new cars, under the limitation proposed, would be a matter to be adjusted between the companies and their distributors. ‘There is some talk of "gasless Siumâ€" days‘" being tried. At weekâ€"ends the run on gasoline stahtions is naturally heaviest. Children 5¢ The talk of a phony war in the 1939-‘ 1940 winter months subsided when: France collapsed and German forces:! moved into country after country in| Europe and it became increasingly plain that the United States had a vital naâ€" tional interest in British survival and| that it had served national interests| well by fighting in the Great War. Washington â€" Understands â€" Perfectly | What Can@ada Knew Instinctively | The inspiring statements of Pprosicdâ€"| ent Roosevelt and of Secretary of me‘ Navy Frank Knox showed that Wach-] l 1 inyton perfectly understands what Canadians have had special facilities for knowing from the beginning, that is that this war is almost as much our war as if it were on our own territory. Canada took the initiative on that understanding and has been travelling the road which the United States: seems now to ‘be entering. As time goes on the huge wealth and industrial power of the United States may throw other efforts somewhat into the shade, but no nation need hang its head if in the meantime, in the great day of urgency, it helps to hold the bastions of liberty to its full ability. British Power Essential to Americas Canadians welcome United States participation because a stable and long assured peace after the war will only be possible if "the maritime powers of wWestern Europe are assured to prompt and full® coâ€"operation dfrom inorh America." Last summer Professor Trotter foresaw â€" the possibility that United States help might be cut off when British funds petered out and the full dependence would be on Canâ€" adian help on this side. We were :o be the sole representatives of Western Hemisphere fighting power and it canâ€" not but be very encouraging that the United States is now resolutely deterâ€" mined to see that the Hitler effort o dominate the world fails We are not alone and Canada‘s place as the bridge between the old world and the new does not become less if the bridge is broadened to make room for United States direct action. This does not invalidate the Monroe Doctrine; it ¢xâ€" tends and completes it. Without beâ€" ing extended and completed by a widâ€" er coâ€"operation of free nations than the Western Hemisphere affords, that doctrine by itself could not be effectilve against a strong gathering of predaâ€" tory powers. To quote Professor Trotter: "British power is still an essentiol factor in the security of the Americas and will remain so. For Canada to scurry now to the shelter of the United States would not make this continent a secure shelter for either of these naâ€" tions. Furthermore, a Canada keepâ€" ing close to the rest of the Empire would be a much greater help to a beleagured United States than a Canâ€" ada placing sole reliance on a Monros Doctrine that depended only upon United States and other American countries for its maintenance. An inâ€" ternational role reaching beyond the confines of the American continent is necessary for Canada in her own inâ€" terests, but it also serves well the long range interest of the Unitedâ€" States, since it is a means to the security of that Western civilization of which the United States is a part . .. stt tm ns Wmm a w s e o e e t part in the war had been utterly futile, because the peace of Versailles did not usher in Utopia, and a yvear ago many Americans (and quite a few Canadiatw) could not see the real service which the winning of the war had done for the United States and Canada. "Realization grows that this war car only be won by accepting the doctrine of full liability, and that sharing reâ€" sponsibilities in A precarious world involves commitments. Failure of the United States to accept these priné‘i- ples is not an example for Canada to follow: rather it makes it all the more urgent that we in Canada should see the war through with initiative and determination and face the future with Canadians have been so proud. If we evade the issue, then the story OI Canada becomes as dust and ashes. open eyes. Only if we so do, shall we justify that national status of which we meet it valiantly, with all that :s in us, men shall say hereafter that indeed Canada came into her Kingdom for such a time as this." That was written a year ago. â€" We did #ake the right path. The only criticism heard is of supposedly dilaâ€" tory effort anywhere. . The United States, I have no doubt, will do all it sets before it. And in the comradeship of free nations its entry on the basis set forth at a time of stress will be doubly welcome.
