Re: omitting the words "and our destiny is inseparable from yours".
I should greatly fear any refernce to "destiny" being misconstrued in
the manner just indicated.

Re: substitution of "distinctive chacteristics" for "very unlike."
The meaning would, I believe, be a little less liable to be misunderstood.

The second paragraph appears to me to be all right as it
stands. You might think it well, however, to substitute, in line six,
"so large a part" for "a third of", before the words "the habitable
globe". I would also suggest the substitution of the words "political
or other" for the word "formal", before the word "Alliance", in the
fourth line from the end, or the omission of the word "formal" altogether.
Its inclusion might be taken to imply that, while a formal
alliance was not thought desirable, something in the nature of a tacit
alliance might be intended.

I realize that what I am suggesting may appear to be
hypercritical. I agree, however, that in this particular utterance
it would be unwise to risk, where possible to avoid it, a single word
being misunderstood, to say nothing of being misinterpreted.

I am delighted with the result of your examination at
Montreal. I hope the regime suggested will not prove irksome to
follow, and that its results will prove immediately and permanently
beneficial.

I am much looking forward to the pleaaure of seeing you
again within the next fortnight.

Yours very sincerely,
W. Mackenzie King
