Vol. 20, No. 20_ The County’ ‘Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIF ORNIA he Gold Cone M ONDAY, MARCH 1 HW, 1946_ A THINKING OUT LOUD By H. M. L. For something over half a century the United States and Great Britain have been pals, friendly and cooperative. The last~ brush we had with the British lion, if memory eserves, was during the Cleveland administration, when John Bull wanted collect a bad Venezulean debt at the point of British navy guns. We don’t recall whether the British collected the debt, but they did not do it by force. That international incident-.may have marked the turning point “Th history, when the Anglo-American really became something for the world to reckon with. It has dasted thrdtgh two world wars at any rate, and promises to last for centuries longer. There are those who will contend that the British owe Uncle Sam_ every thing . they have left after the devastation of the late war. We don‘*t--holdwith that school of thought. We believe very firmly if the British had not held} fast in -the most trying times of the war years this country might have, had to spend more billions in money and some millions in human lives to gave itself from the. nazi horde. This’ eontention cannot ‘be proved, of . course, but it does rank high among! probabilities.* — . So when Winston Churehill, whom . we regard as the greatest orator and statesman of this century, speaks of . a common citizenship for the people. of the United States and the British commonwealth, we listen with 2 sympathetic ear. In fact we‘think it might be easier and wiser to arrange an interchange of to weld a hard fiance. citizenship than and fast military alWe suspect, and there seems plenty of evidences to document it that under the Roosevelt regime, we have; fbeen in an informal military alliance . with. the British empire for a good . many years. The swap of 50 old de-. étroyers for 99 year leases on Brit-. ish territory for naval and aerial} ‘basis, was not just born arereignt . In all a it resulted from . AN BURGLARY something which grew like Topsy, a natural flowering of two democrat‘ic peoples speaking the same langa-; age and devoted to the same general standards of civilized living. To go a step further now and give the peoples of each nation citizen-. ship rights in both nations, barring of course the franchise . to vote, would seem to us a sound way of bridging the narrow chasm that still dies between us. If that were done we doubt if a formal military alliance ‘would serve any useful purpose. For, ‘we can do more on an informal basis of give and take, common use of the navy bases, for instance, around the world, than by formally serving notice on Russia and the rest of the world that we two English speaking nationg from now on are the protagonists and defenders of Christian democracy. It will be better if we exercise that function rather than proclaim t. Looking back over the years, it would seem us that has een the practice whether or not published on world billboards, or the hoardings, as the British would say. Twice we fave gone into wars that we and the British believed -were righteous wars, and each time the initial steps { into the blood bath were taken by our . English And we did this without a formal military alliance. The truth is that we cannot see the “mother of paliatnents’’ founder the doughty champion of all those rights we have established in our laws, go down in a general holocaust and ourselves unharmed and unashamed. cousins, We are aware that the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the unbrotherly meddling of Great Britain in our Civil War, still give ground for natiolalistic fulminations. These were black moments in the history of our relations with Great Britain, to be sure.
