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.".
