MERGER IS PROPOSED New York Newspaper Suggests .Making; of United Nation For North America NEW YORK, Jan. 2: O The ally Vewsssuggests the establish ment pf "an empire of North Am erica', through admission of Cana da's .provinces as states of the United States and Canadians as United States citizens. The newspaper, discussing editorially the prospects of "union how" between Britain and the United States arising from the visit of Prime Minister Churchill, concluded, "it would not be feasible for reasons having to do with human nature and various differing traditions of the two countries." However, it said, "The Dominion of Canada ... is a different pro jositlon from Great Britain. Two people could hardly be more akin in outlook, economic Interests and military position than the people of Canada and the people of the United States. Separate "We think Messrs. Churchill and Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King . . . might well consider the possibility of a merger of Canada and the United States. The resulting merger, from the Rio Grande to the Arctic, could be a close associate of Great Britain, but under a separate government. "Should the leaders of the three commonwealths . . . consider that there is any possibility of a merger, the mechanics thereof would best be handled, we think, through' a plebiscite of Canadian citizens, on the question whether they wanted to Join the United States. "If the verdict was yes, Canada's provinces could be admitted as states, Canadian citizens to be come U. S. citizens automatically. Yukon and Northwest Territory might come in as territories, to spare the feelings of Alaska; or, the three areas might come In as three new states. "There would be frictions here and there. Some of our border states might growl about invasion of their markets or the knocking down of tariff barriers. Quebec which has a state church, would have to be allowed to keep it, if England's long failure to remold Irish religious and political habits is any guide. Huge Nation "But those wrinkles could be ironed out. The net result would be a huge and integrated North American nation, which could organize its own defences on a continental scale without political stumbling blocks and which might be expected to concern itself with such problems while the Mother Country concerned Itself with such problems as the Danzig Corridor and Czechoslovakia. "After this war we are likely to find Russia the most powerful nation In Europe. To the west of us we may face some powerful Asiatic coalition run either by Japan or China. In the new world which we all hope for It will be a fine piece of insurance to have Canada and the United States lined up side by side In a close union for defence of the North American way of life." -$ ....m..5....2..k. .J. .J..5..H..3.
