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 DC10? < < 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. < < __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
