If there is anything that could. make the conquest of Canada easy to Uncle Sim, it is the besotted belief, fostered by so many people, that such a conquest is impossible. The Chinese believed that China was unconquerable, and calmly secure in. that fiction, they sat back, and per- mitted themselves to be eaten up by the Japs. Canada's trust safeguard is a knowledge that Canada is eon-• querable, coupled with an iron resolve that the conquest shall never be allowed. An esteemed Toronto contempor- ary, while sneering at the warning of European statesmen, remarks that "The Republic could no more swallow Canada than a bear could swallow a, porcupine"—which of course is a physical impossibility. What arrant nonsense this is! Nu two peoples un earth could be assimilated so easily. Today they are seperated by little more than a ser:timeat.
