HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1948-04-21, Page 2plain in person to the Latin American I
republics that the -Weetern Head-
sphere must take its place in the larg-
er community of the Western World,
of w hic h the Atlantic Ocean is new as
Mend sea.
This confederation of fed e retiotes of
European and American netions will
give the lie to those who say that our
civilization i$ doomed, It will give
-back faith and the will to live, to those
who fear that freedom is perishing
where it originated. Only by going
forward to something greater than we
have ever before attempted can we
save all that is good which we wish to
preserve..
In the real community to which we
all belong, Canada, Europe, Airice and
the Americas, are integral parts, and
none of the great issues of security
and reconstruction is soluble except
within the framework of this larger
community. We have reached the end
of isolation of any integral part of the
whole Western Hemisphere, The des-
tiny of each nation depends on the
fate of the whole hemisphere. The true
economic and strategic connections do
not run north and south in this hemi-
sphere but are triangular and multi-
lateral around the great basin. of the
Atlantic Ocean.

CONFEDERATION OF
FEDERATIONS
We are in the formative stages of
one of the great historic enterprises
of modern times—the construction of a
stew political community made up of
the older nations of Europe and the
new nations which are descended from
them—all of them their heirs and all
of. them the bearers of the same civil-
ization. One world, embeacing all
mankind, we shall not see in our time,
but what we may see, if we have the
vision and the energy, is the formation
of a great western community, at least
et confederation of federations of Eur-
opean and American nations,
The Marshall Plan with its massive
and vital aid for the sixteen free Dem-
Aocratic nations of Western Europe,
the Union of the nations of Western
Europe and the Pan American Con-
ference at Bogota, Colombia, of the
Latin American republics and the Un-
ited States, are some of these stages.
The reason for Secretary Marshall's
going to Bogota at this immensely
vritical moment in history was to ex-

Near Eastern LanguageS and Litera-
ture and the American Schools of Or-
iental Research. The tablet was identi-
fied by Albreeitt K R., Goetze, Wits
Hem M, 1.. l.aifan, Professor of Assye
riology and Babylonian Literature,
who is on leave of absence front Yale
to serve as director of the kinder'
School of the American Schools of -
Oriental research.
Professor Goetz reported that the
tablet contained the laws of Bilalama,
King of Eshnunna, and antedated by
200 years the code of Hammurabi of
Babylon, which became the foundation
of .pre-Christian law in the Meddle
East. He dater the Eshnunna tablet at
the 19th and 20th Century B.C.
Much smaller than the Hammurabi
Code, which was a compilation of
Babylonian and Assyrian laws cover-
ing substantially all aspects of civil
and criminal law, the Eshnunna Code
consists of about 200 narrowly-written
tines in two columns, on both sides of
the tablet. Like theHammurabi Code
it includes a price control section giv.
iug standard prices for such commod-
ities as grain, oil and copper, It also
follows the Babylonian custom of pre-
scribing a schedule of financial penal-
ties for bodily assault.
BRITAIN HALTS DEATH
PENALTY FOR FIVE YEARS
The British House of Commons re-
cently voted to suspend the death pen-•
alty for five years by a vote of 245 to
222. The Labor Government had asked
the House to reject the amendment,
but this was a free vote left to the con-
science of members, although govern-
ment ministers were forced either to
vote against the measure or abstain.
Although the Criminal Justice Bill,
to which the clause was an amend-
ment„ must still go through a few
stages in the House and then pass the
House of Lords, the decision was rea-
lly definitive. Britain is now joining
12 other countries in the world and
half a dozen States of the United Stat-
es in abolishing the supreme penalty
for murderers, who throughout British
history, have beers hanged.
Laborite Sydney Silverman in open-
ing the debate argued that the death
penalty was revolting and barbaric
and that it sometimes led to miscar-
riage of justice. Another Labor back
bencher, R. T .Paget, who is a lawyer,
made a moving speech that deeply im-
pressed the House. He presented a list
of a dozen innocent people hanged in
Great Britain and a list of some 60
other wrongly convictedin the United
States by judge and jury.
Mr. Page cited cases from British
and American legal history and add-
ed: "The moment you require real cer-
tainty you must abolish capitalpunishs
nzent because real certainty is not
available to man. Only God and the
accused know the real truth." ,Mr. Sil-
verman and others also pointed out
that those countries which abolished
the death penalty had had a decrease
iu crimes of violence,
The issue had aroused intense nat-
ionwide interest which was reflected
in the House of Commons and the de-
bate was closely reasoned and hard
fought from beginning to end. The
same logic and the same reasoning
must apply here in Canada. The Can-
dian Government might well spend a
little time considering the pros and
cons re abolishment of capital pun-
ishment in Canada. * I *

Early History of 'Wingbarn: coned.
(An extract from the Historical Atlas
of the County of Huron. Ont., publish-
ed 1879.)
At the time of its int orperation as
a village, 1878.4, the population of
Ingham) was just sufficient to war-
rant it, i. e., barely over 700; while at
the close of 1876 it had increased to
river 2,000, and it is now estimated
that it contains at least 3,000 exclusive
of Lower Wingliam which increased
the total by another 500. The town
has become an important centre of
trade, while the man manufacturing
interests are rapidly assuming propor-
tions of leading importance for a place
of its dimensions. (cont'd. next week) * * *

South dealer
East and West vulnerable,
The bidding was simply three diam-
onds by South and three no trump by
North.
East made the natural opening lead
of the queen of hearts.
-West did sonic thinking before play-
ing to the first trick. Obviously the
king of hearts was in the North hand,
and North must also have the ace of
spades to justify his three no trump
bid. With dummy's solid diamonds
and king of spades, these added up to
nine straight ahead tricks.
But 'West saw one chance and play-
ed for it. He took the first trick with
the ace of hearts and returned a small
club, doing so in the hope that his part-
ner had either fdur clubs to the queen
or jack or three to the queen and jack.
,Considering the ten of clubs in :She
dummy, the declarer made the nor-
mally correct play of a small club front
his own hand. East .won with the jack
returned another club, and tke defend-
ers collected four club tricks and the
ace of hearts, defeating an apparently
safe contract.
