Canada Would Like 8,000 Square Miles of Maine
WASHINGTON.—Senator .Johnson of California read into the Congressional
Record in the closing days of the last session an article by £Sir Andrew
McPhall of McGill university, Montreal, and said by way of introduction: “It
is an- article by a distinguished Ca
nadian, in which he shows the pur
poses to which'the League of Nations GIMME
ought to be put when subsequently it
may be in operation, and he delineates
the boundaries, as he believes they
ought to be, between Canada and the
United States, and shows that under
the League of Nations, under article
19, that boundary should be fixed
whereby about S.000 square miles of
the state of Maine should be added to
Canada.” Sir Andrew elaborates on
the proposition that a free nation must have reasonable access to the sea by
communications that are reasonably secure. His conclusion is: “All access to
the sea, even by the St. Lawrence, Is under direct control of the United
States, on account of the projection of the state of Maine to within 30 miles
of the St. Lawrence. This one outmost dominates the life of Canada, which
exists only by the will of iU neighbor.”
So he argues in favor of the tlnited States giving Canada that part of
Maine lying north of the Canadian Pacific railway between Megantic in
Quebec and McAdam in New Brunswick. After discussing ways and means,
he concludes:
“It may be urged that this barrier against future development exists
merely in our minds and sentiments; but nationality itself is an affair of
sentiment, which none appreciate better than the people of the United States.
This proposal for an act of generosity on their part will, it is believed, appeal
to their just and generous nature and will be entirely in harmony with that
spirit of idealism which impelled them to come to the relief and rescue of
the distressed nations of the world which were striving to be free and to
remain in fredom. Here is a master chance of putting the League of Nation*
to the test.”
HELENA IS FORCED
INTO COAL BUSINESS
BY RECENT STRIKE
HELENA, Mont., Jan. 27 (by Asso
ciated Press).—One result of the re
cent coal miners’ strike was that it
forced the city of Helena into the re
tail coal business. During the anx
——■■—
ious days when the municipal govern
ment was procuring fuel where it
could, a large consignment was or
dered from Canada. Much of this ar
rived after the more pressing need had
passed, and as the city uses only a
small amount of fuel, it was necessary
to sell it, and Mayor John Dryburgh
opened a coal office and advertised
like any ordinary dealer. „
