Dafoe (1866-1944) was the former editor of The Winnipeg Free Press (from 1901-1944), back in the days when it was a great Canadian newspaper, and not the poorly-edited purveyor of advertising which it is now. He favored neither the 'left' nor the 'right' and his centrist opinions were listened to carefully, both in Canada and the United States. This copy inscribed in ink on cover page: 'Regards and best wishes J W Dafoe'. An unpaginated copy of an address given to the Conference on Canadian-American Affairs, Canton, NY, June 21, 1936. wrappers
