"Absence of Liking"

Twenty-four reasons why the Canadian "thanks God he is not like the American" were announced last week by the Rev. Dr. Frederick Louis Fagley, U. S. Secretary of the Congregational and Christian Commission on International Relations. The 24 reasons made up the report he will present next week to a Commission meeting at Lake Sunapee, N. H. Canadians agreed that Dr. Fagley had not missed much.

Some reasons:

"He is growing fearful of our vast investments in Canada . . . 'See what we did in Nicaragua.'

"He does not like our coffee and wonders why we do not like his tea.

"He does not like the idea of Chicago using so much water from the Great Lakes, thus lowering the level and making useless the docks and wharves of Canadian ports.

"He exaggerates the influence of the Southern European in our corporate life and he does not like it.

"He does not like our assumption that we have the only democratic government on earth.

"Corporately, Canadians do not like the Americans; individually. Canadians do like many individual Americans; this not liking does not go so far as to be a dislike; it is simply an absence of liking."
