Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Drifting Together - Will the United States and Canada Unite? - Drifting Together - Will the United States and Canada Unite? (Written by request for the London Express, October 14, 1904, by Andrew Carnegie) Britain and America being now firmly agreed that those who attempted to tax the American Colonies against their protest were wrong, and that in resisting this the colonists vindicated their rights as British citizens and therefore only did their duty, the question arises : Is a seperation forced upon one of the parties, and now deeply regretted by the other, to be permanent? I cannot think so, and crave permission to present some considerations in support of my belief that the future is certain to bring reunion of the seperated parts, which will probably come about in this way : Those born north and south of an imaginary line between Canada and the United States, being all Americans, must soon merge. It were as great folly to remain divided as for England and Scotland to have done so. It is not to be believed that Americans and Canadians will not be warned by Europe, with its divisions armed, not against foreign foes, but against each other. It is the duty of Canadians and Americans to prevent this, and to secure to their continent internal peace under one government, as it was the duty of Englishmen and Scotsmen to unite under precisely similar conditions. England has 7 times the population of Scotland; the Republic has 14 times that of Canada. Born Canadians and Americans are a common type, indistinguishable one from the other. Nothing is surer in the near future than that they must unite. It were criminal for them to stand apart. CANADA'S DESTINY It need not be feared that force will ever be used or required to accomplish this union. It will come -- must come -- in a natural order of things. Political as well as material bodies obey the law of gravitation. Canada's destiny is to annex the Republic, as Scotland did England, and then, taking the hand of the rebellious big brother and that of the mother, place them in each other's grasp, thus reuniting the then happy family that should never have known seperation. To accept this view, the people of the United Kingdom have only to recall the nloody wars upon this island for centuries arising from Scotland and England floating seperate flags, and contrast the change today under one flag. The Canadians and Americans may be trusted to follow the example of the motherland and have but one flag embracing one whole race in America. Present petty jealousies melt away as the population north and south become in a greater degree born Americans. Even if this blessed reunion came as early as the end of the next decade, say 16 years hence, canada and the Republic -- the Scotland and England of America -- would embrace 115,000,000 of English-Speaking people, probably 7,000,000 of these in Canada. By the end of the present decade, 6 years hence, their population will be close to 97,000,000 -- 6,000,000 of these in Canada. The Republic added to her numbers the past 14 years more than the total population of Australasia, or than that of Canada, the immigration having been enormous. One of these years it almost reached a million. CECIL RHODES The peaceful union of Canada and America would lead Britain to a serious view of her position, resulting in the conclusion that Cecil Rhodes reached -- it will be remembered that he was at first a strong British Imperialist. Mr. Stead recounts that Mr. Rhodes went to Lord Rothschild and laid that scheme before him, who replied -- "This is all very well, if you can get America to join -- if not, it amounts to nothing!" This led Mr. Rhodes to a study of the subject, and the result was he saw clearly that Lord Rothschild was right. British federation would leave Britian as a member of the smaller part of her own race, and out of the main channel of progress; instead of sitting (with race imperialism accomplished) enthroned as the mother among hundreds of millions of her own children, composing all but a fraction of English-speaking men. Hence he abandoned the scheme and thereafter favored race federation, and left to America more scholarships than to all other lands. He saw that it was to the Republic, not to British settlements, his country had to look for the coming reunion of his race, with Britain in her rightful place as parent of all. A few figures will leave no room for dispute about this. In the last decade, 1890-1900, Britain, Canada, Australasia, and New Zealand, combined, added to their population 4,500,000 -- America 13,500,000. Canada only added 508,000, the Commonwealth of Australasia only 660,000. In the 4 years since 1900 America added more than the total population of either Canada or Australasia. During the present decade. 1900-1910. at the same rate of increase to date, she will add more than the present total white population of Canada, Australasia, New Zealand, and South Africa combined. . So fast does the Republic grow, so slowly the Empire. INCREASE OF POPULATION The United Kingdom itself increased last decade more than three times as much as Canada and Australasia combined. It is not to her colonies, therefore, that Britain can look for much increase of population or of trade. The growth of Australasia, small as it was in the last decade, so far as reported in this decade is even less. Canada is growing faster only in the far northwest, which is seperated by a thousand miles of barren land from the English-speaking Province of Ontario. Last decade Ontario Province (English) actually declined in British population; Quebec Province (French) slightly increased. The census of 1900 shows fewer British-born residents in all Canada than that of 1890. The wheatfields now reached by rail are being settled by Americans who cross the border, selling their American farms and buying new farms in Canada at one-tenth of the price realized for the old. Except for this influx, about 70,000 so far, the rate of increase in Canada will be about as last decade. When we come to the population of the United Kingdom, we find already in England and Wales 558 to the square mile. What thoughtful man could wish much further increase, even if it were possible?A denser population must cause deterioration. The density of population in England and Wales is not reached by any European country, except the small state of Belgium. France has only 188, Germany 270 (or one-half), Italy 290, Japan has only 296. The authorities agree that England and Wales are fully populated. Ireland proves that it is so by the small increase. Scotland has increased steadily for some decades, but little scope is left for further increase. Substantially, Ireland and Scotland have today all they can maintain in comfort. Mark the contrast. America has only 21 people per square mile, one-sixteenth that of the United Kingdom, one for every 26 in England and Wales. These figures inclusde Alaska, which resembles most of Canada, and is not likely to support many people. Excluding Alaska, the American population is 28 per square mile, one-twentieth that of England and Wales. It is evident that Green was right when he wrote years ago that the home of the English-speaking race was not to be on the Clyde and the Thames, but upon the Hudson, the Delaware, Ohio, Mississippi, and St. Lawrence. There is not room for it in the dear old home, but there is, fortunately, in the new lands of her children in Canada and America. When we note the development Britain has attained industrially, we are amazed. It is wonderful almost beyond belief; we doubt and investigate to assure ourselves that we have the facts. This little kingdom has today more shipping, and about as many spindles turning as all the rest of the world. She is the richest of all nations per capita. She makes more iron and mines more coal per capita than any nation. Marvelous! Nothing compares to her in history! She positively dwarfs all previous records -- a dwarf more powerful than most giants. Who is there, then who can expect her to do more, what she has accomplished being scarcely credible? PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE It is physically impossible that much further increase can come to Britain, and in addition to this, conditions otherwise are unfavorable to further development. Other nations by the use of her inventions, are more and more supplying their own wants, and will continue to do so. They will also compete with her more and more, especially in iron and steel, and in cotton manufactures, owing to her lack of the cotton plantations and of needed iron stone. If Britain succeeds in maintaining present production in these fields great will be the credit due to her captains of industry. As with population, therefore, so with industrials -- much increase is impossible. This is the age of consolidation, industrially and nationally. Consider the recent consolidation and rapid growth of the German Empire. Who can imagine that the process has stopped? On the contrary, we are on the eve of further consolidations in Europe of great extent. The successes of the American Republic, 45 states consolidated into one union, with free trade over all, and that of Germany with its Zaliverein, are too significant to pass unheeded. The day of small nations is passing. Their incorporation with larger areas is to be hailed by lovers of progress, provided always that one point be carefully preserved. The national sentiment of the small powers should not only be guarded, but fostered in every way, so that, as in the American Union and in Britain, the Virginian and the Scotsman remain as intensely Virginian or Scotch as ever. Pride in and loyalty to the wider empire do not supplant but supplement love of the part where he was born. He loves the part and is proud of the whole. What will Britain do? The day is coming when Britain will have to decide on one of three courses. First, shall she sink--comparatively to the giant consolidations--into a third- or fourth-rate power, a Holland or Belgium comparatively? Here note that we do not postulate her actual decline, but the increased growth of other powers. Or, second, shall she consolidate with a European giant? Or, third, shall she grasp the outstretched hand of her children in America and become again as she was before, the mother member of the English-speaking race? Assuming that other powers are to increase their present population (as Germany and Russia have yet room to do), or by further consolidation, it being evident that there is not room in the 120,000 square miles od the little crowded United Kingdom for further increase of moment, then the conclusion is inevitable that one of these three courses is the only possible alternative, for Britain has no adjoining territory she can annex. Some have been disposed to regard British Federation as a possible fourth alternative, but the figures given, which convinced Rothschild and Rhodes, we submit, compel it's exclusion, especially to such as seek for my motherland, as I do, a destiny worthy of her - a future commensurate with her glorious and unparalled past. Let us rejoice that this is open. Her Canadian and Republican children across the Atlantic will hail the day she takes her rightful place in the high council of her reunited race -- that race whose destiny, I believe with faith unshaken, is to dominate the world for the good of the world.

cross-ref: Canada Poised to Affiliate With the European Union "...In the U.S., public resistance to the proposed North American Union designed to forge economic links among the United States, Canada and Mexico has successfully blocked the plan to date. Aroused Americans have become aware that the NAU is intended to be merely the first step in duplicating the plan that has crushed independence for Europe’s nations. But Canadian officials, led by Quebec’s Charest and Prime Minister Harper, seem anxious to compromise their own nation first, and then push the United States into the long-desired world government sought by generations of behind-the-scenes schemers...."
The quislings are working at hyper speeds now to finish the bureaucratic framework as corp.gov works feverishly to consolidate control and crash the current system (which they have already prepared to replace). All hands on deck. Aoooooogah! Aoooooogah!
I know. But God has everything under control. It's going to ultimately work out exactly the way He wants it in His own timeframe. See my next post.
