Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 26, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the English speaking countries s prejudice is usually a self satisfaction. I am better than thou. Therefore i dislike thee. In the United states a prejudice exists against the British in Canada a prejudice exists against the United states in England a prejudice exists against the Irish. So. It goes around the world but it is meaningless in the context of the Universal state of affairs. We cannot afford the luxury of prejudice because should War come we of the English speaking countries to establish a category will either stand or fall together. Can Canada defend itself from an i attack either by Russia or by the United states obviously there is not a Chance. Can the United states defend itself without using the Tundra of Canada for its radar devices and its Northern Waters for submarine bases and i other bases we do not know of not 1 a Chance geography pays no at tent Ion to lines drawn on maps by statesmen. It is beyond possibility that j should War come the United states and Canada will not be forced to become an economic Union. Politically they May continue to go their separate ways but will that matter the same will be True of great Britain and the United states which will face the need for Mutual support and the support will have to be economic. It will not be great Britain living off the United states and Canada. As some believe but rather that there will be a combining of re i sources and skills to meet an emergency that eerily laughs at the schemes of men. It will All have to happen quickly or it willbe too late. One today and watches the polities of men who seek to delay tile inevitable. And what is that inevitable it is that the Challenge of soviet Russia is no longer communism the Challenge of soviet Russia and red China and the United Arab Republic is imperialism these Are the three great empires of our Era and we live in the peripheral Small countries that will either unite against the empires economically As Well As politically or they will not survive. The empires Are growing and the response to their Challenge must be growth and strength among those who oppose them. Vol. So. No. 227 it. Pleasant now a.

France will come to closer terms with West Germany and it is Likely that a pooling of resources and skills will take place in Europe under the leadership of France and West Germany. Against such Competition great Britain will not be Able to go it alone because it is possible that the Only markets that will be left open to great Britain will be within her own Commonwealth and the United states. In the Western world no nation. Economically can any longer go it alone. The aim of soviet Russia is to separate All the nations of the Western world and to Foster prejudice and hate among them. To a degree soviet Russia has been successful in this the British labour party for instance has adopted an absurd anti american position on Many questions it is too late for that kind of politics in either country. A a shift from a Petroleum Economy to an atomic Economy will be advantageous to great Britain which then would be free i rom the need of importing huge quantities of essential fuel from the arabian Empire uranium comes to great Britain from Canada and the Congo and Canada can Supply All that is necessary. In a word the problems of strength for the Western world lie not in politics but in economics. Economic unions for defense from Iii empires Are essential to the defense of Western civilisation. An economic Union among the English speaking Peoples May be the most successfully aggressive step toward asserting strength before world War Iii comes it May have the military Force of a new unconventional weapon like the atom bomb or the spilt Aik but it must come quickly because what is happening Over Formosa proves what a narrow margin in time we have.
