The Brussels Post, 1948-9-22, Page 2France
On the ::1st c'f this mouth the
spotlight shift, to Paris, and the
beautiful capital of France becomes,
In a sense, the capital of the world.
That's becau•c, for the next six to
ten weeks. the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly will be holding its
regular fall session there, and the
eonsensus among experts is that
this will commute the most impor-
tant intern:atinnal gathering since
the end of the war.
As one of them says, " it is no
exaggerating, to say that in a large
measure the shape and fate of the
vorld may depend for a long time
to come on what takes place in the
Parisian palest that once graced the
Grounds of the 1.937 World's Fair,"
Western and eastern powers, the
intermediate states, and even the
"aostage stamp" nations have been
getting ready for a real showdown
-all of them convinced that this
session may well determine whether
there is to be a working agreement
between East and West, or whether
things are to develop into an all-out
armaments race.
To say nothing of the German
problem, among the issues probably
to be decided are those of Greece,
Czechoslovakia, Palestine, Indone-
. sia, Kashmir, Egypt, Korea, Trieste,
Spain, South Africa, the Italian col-
onies, the Italian peace treaties and
the abuse of the veto in the Secur-
ity Council -every one of them a
hot spot. And behind every meet-
ing, every discussion, there will lie
that one all-important matter -the
struggle for power and advantage
between East and West.
It is estimated that at least 6,000
persons will attend the Assembly
as delegates, officials, secretaries,
correspondents and consultants. The
newspaper coverage will no doubt
be one of the most extensive ever
known as European publications,
which have been only thinly repre-
sented at Lake Success will. have
correspondents by the score on the
spot.
It is the hope and prayer of an
overwhelming majority of the
world's peoples that the Paris ses-
sion will he such a success that it
will lead tees an easing of the fear
and tension which now grips most
of mankind. Whether those prayers
are answered, whether those hopes
are fulfilled is, of course, another
matter. There are times when one
can't help thinking of the man who
said that this world is really the
Nether Regions where we have been
sent because of sins committed in
some forme? existence.
India
Some years ago a favorite selec-
tion with ei la ert and parlor tenors
used to tell of singing to a loved
one "songs of Araby and tales of
old Kashmir." But there is little of
that sort of sentiment in the new
coming from the latter far off land
these days -for the Kashmir na-
tives, who lost homes, wives and
families when fierce Pathan tribes-
men swept therough their country
looting, burning and slaying last
Fall, have been formed into a mili-
tia said to he "the most fiendish
fighters on earth."
Their commander is Colonel
B, M. Karl •who, when he learned
Norman Btaix
that his dearest friend had been
killed in an engagement in Kash-
mir, immediately left his Embassy
post at Washington and had him-
self transferred to active service.
Using as his non -rams seasoned
Indian Army veterans who had
fought in the Middle East, Greece,
Italy, Burma and France, he has
recruited as his militia men who
have nothing to live for but revenge
upon the despoilers of their homes.
The Kashmiri are naturally a
gentle folk, and for centuries they
have been content to bow before
the swords and guns of numerous
invaders of their beautiful homeland.
Now, for the first time, they are
striking back -and striking back
viciously-. On one occasion, defend-
ing a 7,500 -foot mountain ridge, they
were attacked by double their num-
ber of enemy troops -yet in spite
of their inexperience, they beat off
the foe and inflicted casualties of
better than five to one.
They are in all sorts of God -for-
saken places. Their little garrison at
Leh, in the eternally snow -clad
Himalayas, receives its supplies by
air; and to reach them, over the'
lofty foot peaks, Indian pilots have
to reach an altitude of 21,600 feet
-and that without either oxygen or
de-icing equipment. Even at "the
roof of the world" It seems that
there is no peace.
The Netherlands
More than sixty years ago, when
she was a tiny girl, Princess Wilhel-
mina was taken for a drive through
the streets of The Hague. When
she saw the cheering thousands
lining the streets, she asked her
mother, "Do all those people be-
long to me?"
"No, my .dear," the Queen an-
swered, "you belong to them."
Now, after reigning for 50 years
over The Netherlands, Queen' Wil-
helmina turns over her throne to
her daughter; and it can truthfully
said that she has never for a mom-
ent forgotten that long -ago mother-
ly admonition. More than that she
has made a place for herself, in the
hearts of those people, such as few
Soverigns, in any country, could
boast.
It was during the terrible years
of German occupation, while reign-
ing as an exile fn London, that her
true quality best made itself known.
Although sending her daughter and
grandchildren to the safety of Can-
ada she insisted on remaining in
the British capital, and even when
the house she lived in was badly
damaged by bombs, resolutely re-
fused to move. She ate the same
semi -starvation her people were
getting from the Germans, and her
encouraging words to them over the
radio did much to stiffen their resis-
tance and to encourage the under-
ground movement.
On the occasion of her retire-
ment a week or so ago the Neher-
-lands folk paid her countless trib-
utes of their affection and esteem.
It can truthfully be said ex -Queen
Wilhelmina of The Netherlands
really earned every one of them -
just as she has earned the rest,
which all people of goodwill hope
will be many happy and peaceful
years of duration.
In 12 months, the family of one
moth can eat 100 pounds of wool.
Birds Get Thirsty Too -Just like millions of people in Canada and the United State., this pet
parrakeet felt the recent severe heat wave and seems to be really enjoying a fresh, cooling
drink of running water. That's a neat job of balancing he -or maybe it's she -is doing on its
owner's finger.
Those Argonauts seem to be at
it again. Although the football sea-
son is hardly more than well begun,
already you see creeping into the
newspaper accounts of their games
the old familiar phrases. And it
might be interesting to look through
the files of the past few years and
see how often the Argos were "out-
played for the biggest part of the
game but got the breaks" - how
frequently they "got all .the smiles
from Lady Luck" - on how many
occasions their opponents "should
have won on the play, but finished
on the wrong end of the score".
* * *
If you went only by what you
saw in the papers -and believe all
you read -you night think that the
Scullers were fortunate to he in a
big league at all. Yet, somehow or
other, when the end of the season
conies, you generally find them up
there in the finals and, more often
than not, finishing on top of the
heap, But, almost invariably,
through a fluke, or because. as a
team, they're' festooned with horse-
shoes.
* * *
But if you have any notion that
this in any way represents the true
state of affairs -forget it! The Ar-
gonauts always remind us of the
gentleman who, many long years
ago, attempted to teach us the art
of draw poker -a useless task be-
cause of our ineradicable belief that
two pair was a big hand coupled
with a love for trying to fill inside
straights.
* * *
In the opening session of our
poker education we chanced some-
how to hold -all at fie same time
-four queens; and when the show-
down came we slapped the four
royal ladies, face up, on the table
and grabbed the stakes with a
whoop of triumph. Our mentor
looked at us dourly. "Listen, bud,"
he told us "Three of them there
queens would be plenty to take that
Car Takes Beating From Tree -When a violent "twister" swept into the town of Smith's T?alls,
Ont., the wind struck a smashing blow at houses, trees, cars and fences, and temporarily cut
off the electrical power. This car took the full force of a storm -stricken tree. The town was
entirely without electrical lights for one whole night causing police to stand -try to prevent
loo ting,
pot -so why show more of them
than you got to? 'Tain't poker!"
And, as we said before, whenever
we read about the Argonauts out -
lucking their adversaries, we cannot
help recalling that incident of days
long gone by. In other words we
have a strong suspicion that the
Argonauts are generally a trifle bet-
ter coached -that they possess more
and cleverer plays - and have a
slight but definite edge in strength
over rival teams. Iiut, like a really
good poker player, they seldom if
ever show down more titan enough
to take that jackpot, Anyway, those
who back them consistently usually
collect in the lona: run, and who
could ask more of a team -or a
racehorse.- than that:
* * *
We think it was Hedda Gabler -
anyway, one of Mr. Isben's charac-
ters - who
harasters-who exclaimed "At last a
noble deed -at Inst a beautiful ac-
tion" or words to that effect. And
the fact that she said them on re-
ceiving news that her boy -friend
had knocked himself off with a re-
volver has nothing to do with the
case, Ibsen's works being full of
folks who perform in a slightly
screwball manner.
* * *
What we are getting at is that
similar sentiments rose in our mind
on learning that the magnates of the
National Hockey League had at last
done something of which we heart-
ily approved -or, rather, refrained
from doing something which would
have made professional hockey a
laughing -stock to any but its most
fanatical followers.
5 * *
Before said magnates went into
executive huddle there were widely
spread and apparently well-ground-
ed rumors to the effect that -acting
on the principle of "get it while the
getting's good" -they intended in-
creasing their regular playing
schedule by some twelve games or
so per team. But when the meeting
was over,. such rumors proved to
have been groundless. That is to
say things were left just as they had
been -and in our opinion, it's just
as well they were.
* * *
Some claim that real, blown -in -
the -bottle hockey fans, male or fe-
male, are people who will stand for
anything -and that if they didn't
see anything ridiculous in playing
five months for the purpose of elim-
inating just two teams out of a total
of six, they'd see nothing wrong in
extending the elimination process
for another month.
* * * •
But there's no telling. Gluttons
for punishment though they are,
hockey fans might finally turn out
to be like Cousin Egbert, in the
book "Ruggles of Red Gap" who
used to protest that he ''could be
pushed just so far and no farther."
Just because big league hockey has
been favored with sell-out crowds
for several years back is no guaran-
tee that such a condition will exist
forever. Moving picutre shows and
other forms of alleged entertain-
ment are already feeling the pinch,
and - perish the though! - there
might come a time when hockey
box -offices would be welcoming
cash customers, instead of dealing
out tickets with the air of conferr-
ing a rare favor.
* * *
At all events hockey's top brass
has decided ---for the time being
at least -nut to slake Canada's na-
tional game "a year-round business.
'Tis well. Slightly altering the
words of another great dramatist -
Shakespeare this time -we say "It
is a far, far better thing you do than
yon have ever done," Enough is
enough!
Every Forrest Fire
Is To Be Probed
From now on every forest fire
in Ontario is to be thoroughly in-
vestigated, according to the Min-
istry of Lands and Forests, and in
cases where carelessness is proved,
those responsible will be assessed
for the cost of lighting the fire and
for loss of timber.
It is reported that while loss in
the largest fires was ],cavy, salvage
possibilities are good and opera-
tions have already started to save
some of the scorched timber. In
1948 the Department has already
fought, and extinguished, more than
801) fires, Two of the lires, in the
Chapltau and Sault Ste. Marie for-
est districts, raged for more titan
three wades, despite the efforts of
thousands of men and a million dol-
lars' worth of fire fighting equip-
ment.
Estimates of timber loss reached
$35 million, a figure not entirely
agreed with by the Department. In
some places, fires jumped from one
place to another, leaving large
patches of untouched timber in be-
tween. These areas are now being
surveyed and cutting operations
will start as soon as possible. While
a lot of trees were killed, they were
not completely spoiled for timber-
ing purposes.
In a survey flight, it was found
that the west end of the province
had been relatively untouched by
fires, as well as the French River,
Tinlagami, Parry Sound, Algonquin
Park and clay belt districts.
The Department has commended
the northern timber operators,
tourist camp operators and mining
companies for their work in check-
ing the major blazes.
Longer Make -Ready
"Yes, sir," asserted Mr. Ekbamer
vehemently - perhaps a shade too
vehemently, "my wife is just as
beautiful today as she was when I
married her twenty years ego."
Then he added, "Of course, 11 tatces
her longer,"
