OTTAWA, Ont., July 177-Dis-
trust of the United States has
increased in 'Canada since the
publication of the Pentagon
papers. ;
Canadians have gone so far
as to express fears that the
Pantagon. m a y have secret
:plans for the use of force
against a future Canadian gov-
: crnment.. They say the force
could be used against a gov-
ernment that was considered
unfriendly by Americans, es-
pecially if they. thought it were
;Communist.
The extent to which some
Canadian high school students
are concerned about the danger
of an American attack has dis-
turbed the U. S. 'EMbassy.
U. S. Thren t Seen
Reports from Canada about
; the Pentagon papers, with edi-
torials and comment by col-
umnists, have pictured the
U. S. as a military threat ruled
by liars.
At the same time, Canada is
moving toward closer tics with
the Soviet Union and Com-
munist China.. Communist ag-
gression in Sou ii Viet Nam es-
capes critical comment, and
statements from Hanoi are
taken at face value.
When the Viet Ceng recently
proposed the latest Communist
terms for ending the war, the
Toronto Globe . and .Mail said:
"The United States government
must, for once, be henest. It
must negotiate in good faith;
it must put away lies and
manipulations. Nothing short
of honesty. will now serve the
United States."

have been coining to Canada
for years.
Gerald H. Cover of Gowanda,
N. Y., has come to Canada for
15 years and is building a cot-
tage in Ontario. He wrote the.
Toronto Star last week that he
hoped that the "hate America"
philosophy will not extend to
the point of harming normal
relations between the two coun-
tries.
"For the first tune since I
started to come to Canada,
there seems to be a feeling
that maybe they [the Ca-
nadians) should just watch
us," Cover said. "Maybe-there
is something about us that isn't
quite kosher."
Cover said there are few Ca-
nadians in the public eye "who
do not feel that Americans are
spawned by the devil."
In what Cover called the
public eye are many Canadians
who are raising an alarm about
American influence. on . the
economy, on. schools and on
national identity. They are
pleased with -Canada's trade
with Russia and Red China and
glad that Canadian exports to
the U. S. last year dropped to
65 pei: cent from 71 per cent
in 1939.
Trucleau spoke during his
trip to Moscow two months
ago of the "growing conscious-
ness among Canadians of the
danger of our national identity
from a cultural, economic and
perhaps even military point of
view."
Rejects Suggestions
Robert B. Stanfield, Conserva-
tive Party loader, said in a
lecture at the National Defense
College at Kingston, Out., that
he rejected su estions there
might be a military threat
from the U. S. toward Canada.
A commentator on national
television recently suggested
the existence of Pentagon plans
for a military takeover of Can-
Ha, if a government should
come to power that Washington

ing documents which he would ;
like to steal from the U. S. Cen-
(ml Intelligence Agency or that
Pentagon, were "unconfirmed,
undocumented and possib I y
even untrue."
The New Democratic Party,
which has been the Canadian
political party most critical of
the U. S. except for the Com-
munists, has risen in popular-
ity. ;New Democrats, who call
themselves Socialists, form the
governments in Manitoba and
Saskatchewan and are a threat
to the Conservative government
in Ontario. They are gaining
strength on the national scene.
A recent public opinion poll
showed the New Democrats
neck and neck with Stanfield's,
Conservatives for second place
to Trudenu's Liberals.
