HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1949-3-23, Page 6ES N THE 1LD RUSSIA The bakers' dozen of men who lime the live, and destinies or almost 200 million Russians arrive at the Kremlin late in the day. But they frequently make up for it by burn- ing the lights behind those yellow stuccoed walls far into the next morning; and often their most dra- matic decisions are sprung on the world at midnight or later. One such announcement was made at 11.45 p.m. Moscow time slightly less than ten years that For it was on May 3, 1 Molotov was made Russian Foreign Minister in place of Litvinov. Later that same year the infamous Molo- tov -Ribbentrop pact Aug made public long after midnight. .A sintilar pattern was followed in regard to the latest move of the Kremlin boys—a move that still has the rest of the world guescing. At 1.58 a.m. t Moscow time) an an- nouncer for the Russian radio read a terse 85 word communique over the air. Translated, it told of Molo- tov's having been "releas.td from the duties of Minister of Foreign Affairs," and of A. Y. Vishincky s appointlnent in his place. Just what does this shift mean? In trying to ans'l er this question, four great factors ntnst 'pe con- sidered. (1) Molotov and Stalin have been close friends ever since the "under- ground days" in Czarist...a,sia." For two deca_4lt stdlotov has been x6ltfl�Ril ac"the voice of Stalin." (2) On the other hand Molotov ant Vishinsky have always been "twins" in their conduct of foreign affairs. Although Molotov is cold at meetings with foreign ministers while Vishinsky is fierce, there is nothing to choose between them when it comes to toughness. (3) Some day—possibly soon— there must be. a successor to Stalin. Now 69, he has carried a heavy burden for years, and there have been recurrent speculations that he is gravely ill. (4) Russian foreign policy has not been working too well of late. The Berlin blockade failed to dislodge the Western powers. Attempts to wreck the Marshall Plan have got practically nowhere; and Soviet policy in Eastern Europe has brought about the Marshall Tito. ^ So, throughout the world there is aluch discussion as to whether the latest announcement means promo- tion for Mr. Molotov—or is it de- motion? As a .New York Times correspondent puts it. Factors 1, and 3 support the promotion theory. Factor No. 4, that of demotion, Only time ran tell—and, at this writing. it hasn't said anything yet. GREAT BRITAIN The Conservative party reams to be in more of a quandary than ever. In an effort to win the Hammer- smith bye -election the Tories "shot the works"; but even the personal campaigning of Winston Churchill failed to keep Labor from winning —by a reduced majority, it is true— hut still winning decisively. Now. in spite of reports of a "snap election" it seems unlikely that. the Labor Government will Ball a general election before some . time nest year, as it is confident Nor:an.Blaih that it can retain or even increase its popular support by plugging away at the advantages of socialist welfare schemes, such as universal health insurance. And the Conservatives are afraid to criticize such schemes too vigorously. Churchill called off his promised House of Commons at- tack on the tremendous expendi- tures for food subsidies, socialized medicine etc. for fear that it might be interpreted as an all-out assault on the highly popular principles of that same national health scheme. 'lite Laborites, quite naturally, have made tremendous capital of Churchill's retreat. More than that, as ane cotnmentator put it, "the Tories have so far been unable to devise any program to rival the 'something for nothing' Socialist appeal. This has proved particularly attractive to young working-class Britons, who have become used to the feeling that the state will take care of them, come what may. To thein, Churchill is a reactionary old hsc;;been" In their enthusiasm for social welfare, few Government support- ers have listened to the quiet Warn- ings that British productivity has ceased to rise, that exports may soon drop, and that the vast ex- penditures on social sservice may soon eat nif the entire national In- come. But thee,-optomistic prophets 'wee always far more popular than those whose forecasts have a pessi- mistic tinge. ' THE UNITED STATES The military mind still seems to he functioning in the same old style. In San Jose, Calif., during the course of tl lecture, a Reserve Of- ficer made the headline; with the announcement that both the United States and Russia are in possession of a secret Nazi death spray, called "Tabun." A drop the size of a dime of this almost odorless gas will, if left on the skin for ten minutes, be absorbed into the blood stream and cause death within twenty-four hours or less. But U.S. Regular Army authori- ties said that they weren't a bit alarmed, pointing out that gas masks and nonpermeable clothing, developed during World War Two, are effective against "Tabun." "We know all about that stuff— and we have done even better" said one Army spokesman somewhat ominously. Just what will happen to us poor civvies, who aren't equipped with gas masks and nonpermeable tog- gery, in case the nations get to spraying "Tabun" or "something even better" around, the Army spokesman failed to explain. Still, as 1 hinted before the military mind functions in a manner all its own; and so long as we don't lose the next war, It won't matter much if we all get killed in the process of winning.

The first is about Clancy, who lay on his death bed, and who had been told by Father O'Reilley that before pass- ing from the world, he must make peace with all his enemies, especial- ly Grogan. After considerable argu- ment Clancy consented, and Grogan. was led in. "Grogan," said Clancy feebly, "we've been enemies — and bitter enemies — for over forty years. But now the Reverend Father says that before T go to the place where the likes of you will never get, I must make my peace with you. And I do so, Grogan. I forgive ye for all fhe „mean things you did to one, and all the dirty things you said about me; T forgive you, full and free. So now, goodbye to you Grogan.'* Grogan, full of sorrow and re- morse, turned to leave, But just as he got to the bedroom door the voice hailed hit„ once again. "But remember, Grogan," said Clancy, "if by any miracle I should get better — TH1S DOhIMED NON- SENSE JS ALL OFF." * * Which will serve to introduce some exhaustive studies we have been making into the subject of just what it is that produces a winning hockey team — studies that took us a full five minutes. We must explain, however, that at the mo- ment of writing it looks as though New York and Chicago have been eliminated from the N.H.L. play- offs. But if — between now and the time you read this — by some miracle Rangers and Black Hawks slhould happen to squeeze in, well— THIS DOMMFD NONSENSE IS ALL OFF. x * * So now, just what is it that pro- duces a winning hockey team, fel- low students? Well, Lester Patrick is admitted — by Lester Patrick — to know more about the inside of hockey than any living human. So Lester once declared °that a good goaltender is at least 75 per cent of any winning team. So we turn to the N.}I.l,. records and what to we find? * * * Here we arel Montreal Canatliens have had only 119 goals tallied against them — 15 less than the next lowest. Ergo — Montreal Ca- nadicns must have the best goal tender, Double ergo — Montreal Canatliens nntst he leading the race by a large margin. But there must be something slightly haywire here. instead of Canadians name being — like Abou Ben Adhem's — well in front, the Frenchmen are only in second posi- tion, and by a bare shoot, at that. Whine topping them by 10 full points in the right hand column are the Detroit Red Wings: * * Well, maybe even• Lester Patrick might be wrong for once. (There's got to be a first time for tom - thing.) Perhaps, in modern hockey, stout defense is not as all -fired int - portant as swift, hard-hitting of- fense, Let's take it peek at matters front that angle. * * Ah, that's more like. it.

Ont. enough Detroit Red Wings have twanged the twine more often than any of their contemporaries — and sure enough the speedy athletes from what we once laughingiy termed "The Motor City" are out there winging, which is just as it should be. ss But whoa, back up! What is this we see? Second in goal searing, with a 27 -tally advantage over the Ca- nadiens, we have nobody else but the Chicago Black Hawks. But Chuck Conacher's pets aren't sec- ond — they aren't third — they aren't even fourth, In fact if It wasn't for those New York Rangers, would be trailing the procession, a lovely last, 5 4 Somehow of other it just doesn't seem to add up. And it was while trying to break out of the quandary we found ourselves in at this point, that we thought of the other ancient tale, This was about the village dignitary whose ignorance of the law was only equalled by his good opinion of himself and who, some- how or other, secured an appoint- ment as Magistrate. * * * He was trying his first case, and the Prosecuting Attorney made a very felling opening speech. When he had finished, the new Magistrate spoke up. "That's enough," he said sharply. "Prosecution v./ins!" * a * The Attorney for the Defense quite naturally „lade a strong ob- jection, saying that the Magistrate had no business deciding a case without hearing the other side. "Go ahead then," said the Magistarte. "Do your stuff — but T. can tell you that it ain't going to do you a bit of good." * * * Whereupon the Defense Attorney proceeded to make a speech that was just about twice as eloquent and three tines as persuasive as that of his opponent, When lte was about half way through, the Magis- trate halted hien abruptly, "That's enough," he said, "This certainly does beat Aitch - - but now Defense wins." Y * * So, as we said before, aur hockey studies have put us in a somewhat similar prr;dicament to that of the beginning magistrate. First, we thought that in hockey the hest defense was bound to win. Then we thought that it must be the most effective offensive, Now, after look- ing things over, we just plain don't know. Maybe the secret of pro- ducing a winning hockey teaun is to own the one that gets into the most tie games. But we have delved into the records long enough for one session. You „night look up which team did that yourself — then go take a ticket on them for the play - downs. 1(011 SALE t 1711 '7:1 , 11 I , l7 010 o7tinit of a '.'K.1DDIE.1 ROME° CITAIR ❑I I., eD your child „mused bre bourn 01 n 1110 1"00 01 ,alt,[ tulip" utl jinx 28, 121- 1•.11, Stria , Nen Toronto 1947 New 11111 200 17,11 up 1111.1)11 brim tic, good enn717tion Inlnrr•tinn invited, Prier 712,01,77.

They are permitted to do so only in a very limited way. The government has decided that the "real interests" of the people re= quire that the people *hnttld not smoke so touch, The economic and Moral ques- tions raised by a cigarette have be - conte portentous matters of state. Recently the government opened delicate diplomatic negotiations to "explore" t11e possibility of enlarg- ing the tobacco import quota so that by summer Briton; may in- dulge more freely in this whim. The Chancellor of the Exchequer does not approve of mord tobacco. A quiet, ascetic man with the gond of the people at heart, he thinks Britons ought to change their smoking habits, voluntarily if pos- sible, otherwise by judicious gov- ernment regulation. de holds it both immoral and uneconomic for people to burn up their wages when they are in need of other things. The political leaders of the gov- ernment are more sympathetic to some change. There is an election coming up and the Labor Party wants to remain in potter so that it can continue to look after the interests of the people. They want to allow a little more smoking. The government, even in Great Britain, cannot completely ignore the wishes of the people. But, at most, there will be only a small relaxation of the regulations. In this new socialism, which we are told is the wave of future freedom, benevolent government kindly in- sists people do what's best for them. sraakes FREE!
