In 1973 , a Canadian wrote the following after seeing the rest of the world spit on the USA one too many times . It's long, yeah , but if you really care. . .. . you'll read it .
The U.S. dollar took another pounding on German, French, and British exchanges this morning , hitting the lowest point ever in West Germany . It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and 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 began to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse . Who rushed-in with men and money to help ? The Americans did !!
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges, and the Niger . Today , the rich bottom-lands of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help . Germany, Japan, and to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy.. .. Continued please wait a few !!
