The US had these color coded contingency list of probable adversaries during WWII, I think Canada was pink, China yellow, etc, even friends like the UK were also on that list. It's all in a day's work, nothing to get overly worried about.

Actually Canada was a shade of red.

War Plan White
Dealt with a domestic uprising in the US, and later evolved to Operation Garden Plot, the general US military plan for civil disturbances and peaceful protests. Parts of War Plan White were used to deal with the Bonus Expeditionary Force in 1932. Communist insurgents were considered the most likely threat by the authors of War Plan White.
