HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1948-10-20, Page 2Great Britain Good news from anywhere these days is a rather scarce commodity. But outside of the threat of becom- ing involved in another war — a threat which hangs over most of the world—the news from Britain is, on the whole, heartening, Judged by Canadian standards life over there is still a rather grim affair; but signs are not lacking to indicate that what one American correspondent termed "the deep, enduring strength of Great Britain" is still a power to be reckoned with, and that the Mother Country still eontinnes sturdily along the path to recovery. For example, by the end of this year it is expected that every house M London destroyed in the war will have been replaced. When you con - elder that some 100,000 dwellings in the London civil defense area were wiped out—in addition to 1,650,000 damaged — you realize that the building trades have not been exact- ly lying down on the job. In mak- ing this announcement the Minister of Health also said that by the end of October Britain will have reach- ed its first postwar housing target of 250,000 permanent and tempor- ary homes—no mean target. Hous- ing still remains one of Britain's great domestic needs and there is a shortage of both timber and cem- ent; but in spite of this they seem to be making real progress. The aircraft industry appears to be on its toes as well. The failure of the costly "Tudor 2" airliner project in July was a keen disap- pointment to the air -minded, but it has been greatly softened by the latest announcements. Within the space of a single week Britain learned that the industry had built and put into the air the first four - engined jet flying wing; the first gas -turbine airliner, the Brabazon; also a new high-speed 40 -seater land plane, the Hermes 4, which is expected to reduce empire flying schedules by days. "By the early 1950's," predicts George Strauss. Minister of Supply, "I am confident that we shall lead the world." In the district around Coventry assembly lines continue to pour out automobiles and other vehicles and fiains 'of flatcars loaded with noth- ing but tractors flash along the rail- way lines bound for export ports. In heeds there are big signs ap- pealing for more weavers and spin- ners to get into the woollen indust- ry. "Come on Yorkshire," some of those signs read. These are only a few of the many indications that Great Britain is by no means sitting idly by and pity- ing herself. To quote again from the same United States correspon- dent, "These are the people who built an empire on which the sun sever set. They are producing now at higher -than -prewar figures, al- though with world prices set again - at them their import needs are still imperative." China 11 would appear that the Com- munists at last have "Mr, China"— Chiang Kai•Shek—out on the well- known limb, and that limb shows signs of cracking under the strain. .A powerful movement is now under way to make the man who has been the Chinese leader—some say "dic- tator"—for the past 24 years, step aside. Recent verbal attacks on the Generalissimo in China's new con- gress were startling enough and gave evidence that his power over public utterances is no longer what it once was. But now it is reported that the same congress has suggest- ed that Chiang yield place as sup- reme commander of the Chinese alr'nlies, which would mean giving sip the real source of his strength. N THE 1 t ULD Norman Blatt .At the sauie time the Chinese Communists have made a signifi- cant move in proclaiming a "North China People's Government" as a competitor to Chiang's regime. No matter how strong or how weak this rival Government should prove, It comes on the scene just when Chiang is facing the strongest op- position of his lengthy and turbu- lent career. Then again the liberal leaders— exiled last year by Kai-Shek's Na- tionalist Government—are threaten- ing to form an open alliance with the Reds. This would signal the unification of all the major elements that oppose the Generalissimo—and that, in all probability, cleans the finish for Chiang, Chiang Kai Shek's undoing—if it comes—will be because, in oppos- ing the extreme leftists, he leaned much too far the other way. The growing feeling among the Chinese seems to be that they have had enough of Dictatorship, and that Communism offers them better fu- ture prospects than what amounts to Fascism. Germany could stand only a certain amount of Hitler— Italy of Mussolini—and they think they've had about enough of Chi- ang. When Joe Stalin's boys start getting in their fine work the Chin- ese will probably regret their move. But that's the way they appear to be headed at this writing. Some Sound Advice For C.C.F. Leader Speaking at Merrickville some weeks ago CCF leader Id. J.Cold- well said that a society founded on the profit motive could not be rec- onciled with the Christian teaching and ethics. The Canadian Country- man makes this sharp reply: "In making this statement Mr. Coldwell did something that was wrong . We hope we are mis- taken, but it seems to us that Mr. Coldwell was attempting to claim that God was on his side—on the side of Socialists as opposed to those who do not believe in social- ism. That is going too far, much too far, even for the leader of a political party." The Canadian Countryman goes on to say that it finds Mr. Cold - well's holier-than-thou attitude "re- pulsive and repelling," and that it finds "abhorrent" the tactics of Socialists in "setting class against class." It concludes: "If Mr. Coldwell wants to serve the people of this country faithfully and well, he will renounce his fool- ish ideals and ideas, which played a large part in bringing tyranny to the German and Russian people, and are retarding recovery in Brit- ain today, and he will launch a cam- paign to prevent people, whether they are industrialists, groups of wage-earners, or farmers, from wrecking the private enterprise sys- tem to serve their own immediate selfish ends.' Well to have this said, and espec- ially front such a quarter. Just For Fun Strange! During the filming of a com- edy, the director wished to get the effect of water being poured out of a barrel on to some boards. They tried peas on oiled paper, and that wasn't it; they tried dropping pins on a taut square' of silk, and that wasn't it. Finally a quiet follow who was standing by said "Suppose you try pouring water out of a barrel on to some boards," They tried it. That was it.

Now the telt c f this might be either "Revenge Is Sweet" or "Don't Go Calling People Names" and it deals principally with a gent tagged Joe Gordon, whose name you may have noticed several times this past season in connection with the Cleveland Indians baseball club, * * * When baseball folks get to fan- ning about great second sackers they generally settle on Larry I.a- joie and Eddie Collins as being the all-time tops, although we have al- ways bad a sneaking feeling that Charlie Gehringcr belonged right up there too. He may have lacked some of the color of the other two, being a quiet, self-effacing sort of a char- acter. But be was a ball -players' ball -player, make no mistake about that, and they don't come any better, * * * Another that history will prob- ably also place in the same class is Joe Gordon, for many years one of the real reasons for the New York Yankees being always there or thereabouts when they were dishing out the playoff gravy, Yet if a flannel -mouthed gent by the name of Leland Stanford McPhail had re- frained from his favorite pastime of popping off, Gordon might well by now have been one of baseball's forgotten glen. * * * For just a couple of years ago Joe Gordon appeared to be definitely through. Spiked in the hand during the spring training trip following his discharge from the Navy, and de- veloping a very painful charlie-horse in his legs, he was only a shadow of his former self. Nothing but his fighting spirit kept him going at all. Then up popped the aforesaid Mc- Phail, I * * * Even in a sport where showoffs and headline hunters are by no means rare, Mr. McPhail—until he left baseball for baseball's good— had a reputation that was by no means enviable. In fact there used to be a little ditty which might have been written especially for him, run- ning something like this: "I love its steady murmur. I love its rushing flow, I love to wind my mouth up; And I love to watch it go." * o * Su when Joe Gordon was struggl- ing along during the early part of the 1940 season McPhail called him —together with Manager Bill Dick- ey—into the front office. Then he told Joe—in the choice language which McPail was noted for --chat the second baseman was a quitter and several other unpleasant things, and ordered Dickey to remove hint from the 'Yankee lineup forthwith, if not sooner. * * * What followed must have been, according to those who should know, a real honey of a scene.

Bill Dickey told him that if hc— McPhail—didn't like the way things were being run the could go straight to Ifelsink(i, or words to that effect, and the fat was in the fire, All season long Gordon struggled against handicaps both physical and mental but without a great deal of success. His batting average drop- ped to a paltry .210 and he wasn't covering anything like the amount of ground he formerly had done, He was 31 years old, which is get- ting well along in life for a major league ball player. And when he was traded to the Cleveland Indians for Allie Reynolds, Yankee fans in general shook their heads and said, "Poor Joe, it isn't what yon used to be but what you are today." * * * But that cry of "quitter" was still rankling in Joe Gordon's heart. in his very first appearance at Yankee Stadium in 1947 he walked twice, hit two singles and a home run—pract- ically beating his old teammates all by his lonesome. And as he neared the clubhouse after the game was over he was heard to say, "I only hope Old Liver Lips was watching that one."—that being his polite way of referring to his former employ- er, McPhail. * * * And Joe Gordon—two years ago a washed-up has-been—has gone right on front there. Nobody—not even Lou B'eaudreau—has done Jut heat end rub in 1vIINARD'S, and note the quick relief you get.

In the 1948 catlipaiiiil lic batted in something like 115 rens, including 32 homers, —a great many of the latter corning right in the pinch, when they were lnnst•needcd. Back in 1042 Joe Gordon was voted the most valuable player in the league, He may not make it this year, but he won't be far off it And while there's still a steely glit- ter in his eyes when anybody men- tions the name of Larry McPhail— the chances are that he actually owes the loud -mouthed one a real debt of gratitude. * x v For if the Raging Redhead hadn't called Joe Gordon a quitter who knows what might have happened? Chances are that the New York Yankees might have taken it all, and that the Indians would have been just another ball club, lacking the spark -plug that kept them going when the going was tough. 'Re- venge Is Sweet" all right, and we can't help sort of wondering just what Larry McPhail thinks about the whole affair, DOES � •. 1'mr4 ESTIO WALLOP V EL r THE BELT?
