The weakness in Canada's position, says Mr. Dexter, is now recognized. Canada is absent from this conference because she is not l member of the Pan-American union. This Dominion has refused to take the vacant chair kept for her, in the past, because of many considerations. It was felt by sttcccssivc governments that membership might complicate relations with the British Common- wealth, or cut across otir full co-operation with the League of Nations. -

1n retrospect these reasons are now seen to hnrc bccn without force and it may be forecast that within the next 12 months Canada will be proposed as s member of the union and if elected will trike her place, thus completing the member- ship_

This is from u. Washington correspondent: "I am reminded of the famous press conference which was attended by Mr. Churchill and l\Ir. Roosevelt. 111a latter, 111 introducing the Prime Minister to the assembled newspapermen, made a little speech about the general aims of Mr. Churchill's visit. He mentioned that Mr. Churchill will be in consultation with the Domin- io11s and that, of course, Australia and New Zea- land were definitely in the thick of the war. At this point Mr. Churchill leaned over and reminded the President about Canada. Yes, indeed, said the President, there was Canada too. She was in the battle 011 both coasts. . . Quite probably it was a11 innocent oversight by the President which prompted Mr. Churchill to remind him about Catlztda. These ovcrsights have been occurring more and more often of late. gins to he conccrnctl about Canada's position in the cnnsciottsncss of the A lies with whom she is associated. This is not altogether, perhaps not at all, due to the lack of ‘color’ in the Dominion's lcadcrsliipfiflie cattscs, if they must be sought, are dccpcr within the nation. After all, the Cnitcd States had eight years of the dour, passive personalities of Coolidge and lloovcr, and this cir- cumstance did not cut into America's vibrant qualities. This item should not be construed as claiming that (Tanadzfls position among nations is less than hntiornlilc. lndccd, there is considerable rcspvrt and even some affcclinit for Canada.
