CANADA’S PROBLEMS
PRESERVATION OF UNITY
CARE TO AVOID RIFT
(9 a.m.) LONDON, April 2. Either of two divisions might rend Canada in the future, said Mr. Malcolm Macdonald, formerly United Kingdom High Commissioner in Ottawa, in an address to the Royal Empire Society. The first was internal. Any serious quarrel between the English-speaking and the French-speaking Canadians would create an almost impossible situation.
The second was external. If the Governments of Britain and the United States ever disagreed to such an extent, the Canadian people had to choose between their friendship for the one or the other. That choice might destroy national unity. The solution of the problem was that Britain should so conduct affairs that the Canadians would never have to make that choice.
