THOSE ASIERIOAN MAGAZINES We have stood consistently and,.,.persistently for friendliness with the United * States, We’re all J-ohn Tqmson’s barins. - We, like our American-cousins, are heirs to Magi*a> Carta and the Bill of Rights. Like them we speak the language of Milton and Shake­ speare and Whittier, and Longfellow. Together we have stood as we fought for Liberty, civil and religious. But we suffer from no jnferiof complex. We -greatly resent it when their magazines tell t-heir readers that it is the United States that is the bulwark of progress and liberty. We feel weary when' -they constantly reiterate they sayings about being the biggest and best'and the finest in the world. We feel that -our big brother is spoofing when he leaves us to infer that the gods j)f Olympus give their best to the folk sou;th of us leaving the'British lion and the C^n- ■ adian beaver to muddle along with the -bare bones the American eagle sees fit to allow us to gnaw after he has jlone his picking. We are as well aware as anyone of the tricks of politicans when they go ©tariff tinkering. Apart from aH that, .however, it re­ mains a fact that Canadians are good customers of United States Magazines and of American magazine writers. Perhaps the loss of the Canadian market tor these magazines will teach -the United States folk to treat the feelings of Canadian readers and purchas- •ers with more consideration than has characterized 'them on a great many occasions in the immediate-past. Canadians welcome criticism. They resent mistatement as they resent under state­ ment and over statement. At any rate .we’ll. se£. The American magazines invited a good deal of the duty that the present-govern­ ment has placed to their disadvantage. When American magazin­ es give their Canadian readers the .same treatment as .they mete out to United States readers they nmy find Canadians putting forth a serious effort to have the present duty removed.
