    On June 
    the 
    5th, 1973, 

    during his 
    broadcast over 
    CFRB 
    Toronto, 

    Mr. 
    Gordon Sinclair, 

    one of Canada's 
    most respected 
    broadcasters, 


    had some thoughts 
    concerning his 

    American neighbors. 

    These 
    are his words. 

    The 
    United States 
    dollar 

    has taken another 
    pounding 

    on 
    German, French 
    and British exchanges, 

    hitting 
    the lowest point 
    ever 

    known in 
    West Ger
    many. 

    It 
    has declined 
    there by 41 
    % since 
    1971, 

    an
    d this Canadian 
    thinks 
    it's time to 

    speak up for 
    the Americans 

    as 
    the 
    most generous 

    and 
    possibly the 
    least appreciated 

    people in all 
    the earth. 

    As long 
    as 60 years 
    ago, 

    when I 
    first started to 

    read news
    papers, 

    I read 
    of floods on 
    the Yellow River 

    and 
    the Yangtze. 

    Who rushed 
    in with men 
    and money 

    to help? 

    The Americans 
    did. 
    That's who. 

    They've 
    helped control floods 

    on the Nile, 

    the 
    Amazon, 
    the Ganges, 

    and the Niger. 

    Today 
    the 
    rich bottom 
    land 

    of the Mississippi 
    is underwater, 

    and no foreign 
    land has sent 

    a 
    dol
    lar to help. 

    Germany, 
    Japan, 

    an
    d to a lesser 
    extent, 

    Britain and 
    Italy were 
    lifted out 
    of the debris of 

    war by the 
    Americans, 

    who poured 
    in bil
    lions of 
    dollars 

    and 
    forgave other 
    billions in 
    debts. 

    None 
    of those countries 
    is today 

    paying even 
    the interest 

    on 
    its remaining debts 

    to the United 
    States. 

    When the 
    Frank was 
    in danger 

    of collapsing 
    in 
    1956, 

    it was the 
    Americans 
    who propped 
    it up, 


    and their reward 
    was to be insulted 

    and 
    swindled on the 
    streets 
    of Paris. 

    I 
    was 
    there. 
    I 
    saw it. 

    When distant 
    cities 
    are 

    hit by earthquakes, 

    it's 
    the 
    United States 
    that hurries 

    in to help them. 

    Monaco and 
    Nicaragua 

    is one 
    of the most recent examples. 

    So 
    far this 
    spring, 

    59 
    American 
    com
    munities 


    have been flattened 

    by tornadoes. 

    Nobody has 
    helped. 

    The Marshall 
    Plan, 

    the Truman Policy, 

    all pump billions 
    upon billions 

    of dollars 

    into discouraged 
    coun
    tries. 

    And 
    now newspapers 

    in those countries 

    are writing 
    about the decadent, 

    war 
    -mongering 
    Americans. 

    I'd like to 
    see 
    just one 
    of 
    those countries 

    that 
    is gloating 
    over 
    the erosion 

    of the United 
    States 

    dollar 

    Build 
    its 
    own airplanes? 

    Come on, 
    let's hear it. 

    Does any other 

    country in the world 

    have a plane 

    to 
    equal the Boeing 
    jumbo jet? 

    The Lockheed 
    Tristar 

    or the Douglas 
    10? 

    If so, 
    why don't they fly 

    them? 

    Why do all international 
    lines 

    except Russia 
    fly American 
    planes? 

    Why 
    does no other land 
    on 
    earth 

    even con
    sider putting 
    a man 
    or 

    a woman on 
    the moon? 

    You talk about 
    Japanese technocracy 

    and 
    you get radios. 

    You 
    talk about German 
    technocracy, 


    and you get automobiles. 

    You 
    talk about 
    American technocracy, 


    and you find 
    men on the 
    moon, 

    not once, 
    but several times, 

    and 
    safely home 
    again. 

    You 
    talk about 
    scandals, 


    and the Americans put 
    theirs right 

    in the store 
    window 

    for 
    every
    body to 
    look at. 

    Even the Draft 
    Dodgers 

    are not 
    pursued and 
    hounded. 


    They're right here 

    on our streets 
    in Toronto. 

    Most 
    of 
    them, unless they're 

    breaking Canadian laws, 

    are 
    get
    ting American 
    dol
    lars 

    from 
    mom and dad 
    at home 

    to 
    spend here in Canada. 

    When the Americans 
    get out of this 
    bind, as 
    they will, 


    who could blame 
    them 
    if they said, 

    to 
    hell 
    with the rest 
    of the 

    world. 

    Let someone else 
    build or repair 

    for
    eign dams 

    or 
    design foreign 
    building
    s 

    that won't shake apart in 

    earthquakes. 

    When the 
    railways of 
    France, Germany, 


    and India 

    were 
    breaking down through 
    age, 

    It 
    was the Americans 
    who rebuilt 

    them. 

    When the Pennsylvania 

    Railroad 

    and the New York 
    Central went broke, 


    Nobody 
    loaned 

    them an old caboose. 

    Both are still 
    broke. 

    I can name 
    you 
    five thousand 
    times 

    When the 
    Americans raced 

    to the help 
    of other people in 
    trouble. 

    Can you name 
    me even one time 


    When someone 
    else 
    raced 

    to the Americans 
    in trouble? 

    I 
    don't 
    think there was 
    outside help 

    Even 
    dur
    ing the San 
    Fran
    cisco earthquake. 

    Our neighbors 
    have faced it 
    alone. 

    And 
    I'm one 
    Canadian 

    who's 
    damn tired of 

    hearing them kicked around. 

    They will come out 
    of this thing 

    with their 
    flag high. 

    And 
    when they do, 

    they're entitled 
    to thumb 
    their nose 

    at the 
    land
    s that are 
    gloating 

    over their 
    present troubles. 

    I hope 
    Canada is not 
    one of these. 

    And another 
    thing, 

    recently the American 
    Red Cross 

    was told at 
    its 48th 
    annual meeting in 

    New Orleans that 
    it was broke. 

    This 
    year's 
    dis
    asters, 

    with a year 
    less than half over, 

    has 
    taken it all. 

    And nobody, 
    but nobody, 

    has helped.
