Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Published in 1940, John MacCormac's Canada: America's Problem is a classic geopolitical study of the relationship between Canada, the United States, and Great Britain at the onset of World War II. MacCormac, then the New York Times correspondent in Canada, argued that Canada's position and policies were a direct "problem" for U.S. national security and its then-preferred policy of isolationism.The Central ThesisMacCormac's main argument was that Canada made U.S. isolation impossible. He contended that:The Monroe Doctrine Dilemma: Because the United States was committed to defending the Western Hemisphere from foreign intervention, Canada's active participation in European wars (due to its ties to the British Empire) could drag the U.S. into those same conflicts.Neutrality as Fiction: He argued that so long as Canada fought in Europe while enjoying U.S. protection, American neutrality was a "fiction" because an attack on Canadian soil would necessitate an American military response. Canada as a "Special Partner": He viewed Canada as the vital link between the British and American branches of the English-speaking world, urging Americans to abandon their "abysmal" ignorance of Canadian politics and economics.Content and FocusThe book is divided into three parts:The Problem Stated: Examining Canadian foreign policy and its friction with U.S. isolationism.Origins of the Problem: A deep dive into Canadian nationality, racial questions (specifically English-French relations), and internal politics.The Economic Aspect: A survey of Canada's vast industrial and agricultural potential and its economic integration with the U.S. Legacy and Notable ObservationsStyle: MacCormac was known for sharp, sometimes witty comparisons. He famously wrote that a political convention in the U.S. related to a Canadian one as "bedlam does to a cemetery," highlighting the relative calmness of Canadian public life.Historical Context: The book was published just as the U.S. began to ramp up its own defense preparations. It remains a key text for understanding the "North Atlantic Triangle" (U.S., UK, and Canada) during the 20th century.…

Canada makes neutrality a fiction. Any day while the present struggle lasts, the United States might be forced to choose between a war over Canada and abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine. The possibility is remote so long as Britain holds her own on land and controls the seas. But it is there. Colonel Lindbergh's warning to Canadians in 1939 not to draw the United States into a war because they preferred a king to a president was tactless but not pointless. His statement at least served to direct public attention to the fact that Canada, for the United States, has become the most important foreign country in the world. The United States can affect neutrality toward other belligerents but geography makes it impossible for her to be neutral toward Canada. So does material interest, for there are more American visitors and more American dollars in Canada at any time than anywhere else outside the United States. But there are few countries about which Americans know less. American financiers have discovered it, American tourists have discovered it, but American editors have yet to discover it.".…
