Canada at War: THE DOMINION: King of Canada

(2 of 2)

Champion of the Small. Mackenzie King would like to go down in history as the interpreter of the U.S. to Britain. He has been the most North American minded of Canadian Prime Ministers. He is the friend of Roosevelt and Churchill, has dared to differ with both of them.

Before the war he sometimes talked like a mild isolationist. Now he champions the idea of a new world peace structure in which all nations, big & little, will have a voice at a common council.

He would like to take that idea to the peace conference. Before he can do so, he must persuade the Canadian people to re-elect him and his Party in an election that must be held before June 16, 1945.
