In Manhattan last week Co-operative Commonwealth Federation Leader M. J. Coldwell said he would like to see the Dominion join the Pan American Union. That made it all but unanimous with Canada's top political leaders.

Canada's Ambassador to the U.S., Leighton McCarthy, has already said that Canadians would never ask to be admitted, but broadly hinted that an invitation from Latin American members would be welcome.
