world's richest oil fields are beneath the sands of the Middle East (above), where Arab coun-
,tries bitterly resent American support of the. Jewish state in Palestine. Arab retaliation could
easily cut off the flow of oil to the tanker loading pipelines on the Persian Gulf, and force the
U.S. to share its own too -small domestic supplies.

Japan
For over a year rumors have been
circulating in Japan to the effect
that Emperor Hirohito was about
to embrace' Christianity,— probably
Ronan Catholicism. These rumors
were' revived by the recent visit to
japan of Cardinal Spellman of New
York, during which he paid a half-
hour call on the Emperor.
Asked during the press confer-
ence which immediately followed his
visit to the Imperial Palace whether
Hirohito was considering adopting
Christianity, Cardinal Spellman ans-
wered that the subject hadn't even
been mentioned.
However, the more -influential
Japanese seem to think that At
doesn't matter much what Hirohito
does in this regard. The Japanese
are not a really "religious" people in
the sense that we of the "Western
world use that term- Most Japan.
ese homes have shrines to both the
Shinto and the Buddhist gods, and
both receive practically equal at-
tention. Besides which many of
them, when dressed in European
clothes, carry in their pockets Bibles
or New Testaments. In other
words, they believe in trying to
propitiate as many deities as pos-
sible.
So if Hirohito should decide to
become a Christian, most of his
people would not feel it necessary
for him to drop any of his former
faiths; and while the Japanese mind
is difficult to fathom, the chances
are that most of the Niponese would
have the idea that The Pope was
recognizing the spiritual authority
of The Emperor, rather than the
reverse.
Paraguay
Most of the population of Para-
guay lives to the east of the river
of the same name, where the land
is fertile and arable. West of the
river is the Gran Chaco -100,000
square miles of wilderness, much of
it swampy. The air is so thick with
mosquitos that frequently the sun
Sour Note—.Peter Piper, who
used hand power to pick his
peck of pickled peppers, should
have lived in 1948, He would

new electronic pickle sorter.

temperatures running as high as 10S
degrees are common.
Back in 1926 the first of some
2000. Mennonites arrived in this
savage country. Searching for a
land where they could live accord-
ing to their peculiar religious ten-
ets many of them had moved from
Germany to Russia, then to Canada
and the United States. Paraguay
seems to be their last frontier.
The life of the Mennonites in
the Chaco has been an unending
struggle against nature• In order
to reach their markets, products
have to be carried first in carts
drawn by oxen or horses, then
transferred to a tiny railroad, then
floated down the Paraguay River,
But the Ivtennonites chief crop—
long fibred cotton—has made them,
if not wealthy, at least self suffici-
ent. Before many weeks have pas-
sed their ranks will be swelled by
a notable addition. Toward the end
of June 1000 Mennonites left the
Red River Valley .in Southern Man-
itoba and sailed from Quebec on the
Dutch ship Volendam. Their dest-
ination was the Paraguayan Chaco
where the life may be hard, but
where they hope to find the freedom
front "worldly influences" that has
been the goal of stricter members
of the sect eversinceit originated
in Europe in the 16th century.
Russia
During the past few weeks Rus-
sian progress in Europe appears to
have slowed dowe considerably,
and it now seems as if the policy-
makers in the Kremlin had decided
to turn attention toward Asia, at
least for the time being.
Reports from Burma sound as
though the Communists had been
getting in some of their best prop-
aganda work there, and there are
many indications that this former
British colony is definitely moving
toward the Soviet orbit.
Dispatches from China give in-
creasing evidence of real deteriora-
tion in Nationalist circles. It is now
a serious possibility that before
many weeks have passed all. of
China down to the Yellow River
will be in Communist hands.
France is making no real head-
way in its long effort to reclaim In-
do China. There is trouble in Mal-
aya; and the Dutch have yet to
establish anything like a satisfactory
relationshipwith the Indonesians.
Just how much Russia is •directly
responsible for all this trouble and
unrest cannot be determined with
any certainty. But there is little
doubt that chaotic conditions are
increasing throughout Asia, and
that such conditions are ideal for
Russian exploitation. So it seems
only reasonable to assume that Mos-
cow is definitely interested in the
possibilities that exist in that area
of the world, and is not just sitting
idly by letting events ,shape them-
selves.
So You Can't Sleep
If you're troubled with insomnia,
you're probably brainier than the
average person—at least that's the
opinion of a noted neuropsychiatrist,
and any sten who can tote a title
like that around without getting a
backache should know, what he's
talking about.
This 24euro—eta etc. maintains
that an active mind requires far less
sleep than a mind preoccupied with
dull or unimportant matters. Auth-
orities have, never been able to agree
on the exact number of hours of
sleep required by the average per-
son, nut lying awake at night in a
coiti.nrtable bed is rarely danger-
ous to one's health.
Ship Sails Now
Made of Nylon
For many years cotton has been
thematerial fr ii
m which practically
all sails have been made; but post-
war cotton shortages have made it
necessaryto lookt for some
abort
substitute. Now it is said that nylon
has been found to offer some definite
advantages as a replacement material.
Weight for weight, nylon is calcu-
lated to be about three tirnes as strong
as cotton. This makes possible the use
of lighter sails on a given craft and
the saving in weight results in greater
ease in handling. Then, too, nylon
sails are less bulky than the cotton
sails they replace.
Compared with cotton, nylon sails
are slipperyo Wind slides over its
surface freely, with less tendency to
catch and drag. This characteristic is
desirable in a hard blow.
A considerable saving of time and
effort results from the fact that nylon
sails can be stored wet without becom-
ing mildewed. Cotton, on the other
hand, must be dry when stored, for
dampness invites mildew in that
material.
While many new sails are -being
made of nylon and the cost of this
material is very close to that of
cotton, it is not likely that many boats
will immediately blossom. out with a
full complement of synthetic sails.
This is because few boat owners put
on a complete suit of sails at one fell
swoop. More commonly the sails are
replaced individually as needed.
Just For Fun
A little girl was taking her
brother to s^hool for the first
time, and mother had given her
the boy's birth certificate to
hand to the teacher. She arrived
at the school crying, and ap-
peared terribly upset, so the
teacher asked her what was the
trouble.
"I'm going to get an awful
spanking," she sobbed. "I've
just lost Johnny's excuse for
being born!"
Red Threat Is
Ever Present
There should be no complacency
over the fact that, in the Ontario
elections and the three recent Fed-
eral by-elections, the Socialists mus-
tered less than a third of the popu-
lar Vote, says The Financial Post
in a recent editorial. With far less
support than that there have been
plenty of world -examples -where
totalitarian parties have been able
to smother' all resistance,
In Russia and in pre-war Ger-
many and Italy, the Communists,
Nazis and Fascists never were in
' the -majority, but they acquired
complete control. Since the war we
have seen the same thing happen
in Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hun-
gary and Romania,
4, * ,0
1t is all very well to argue that
in the recent wins, the Socialists'
gains have all been in urban areas
or in urban -dominated areas; that
farmers and other classes outside
these areas will not be tempted by
the C.C.F. bait. The 'Saskatchewan,
election of 1944 knocks - the props
out from under that argument just
as the
subjugation of the kulaks in
Russia by the city -trained Com-
munists proves that wide -scale but
unorganized opposition is no match
against a
ruthless powerfully
regimented minority.
There is only one way to meet
thisd1 id - n
v e a d -r
oleire t
t a by the
Socialists. It will not be met by
outpromising them. For the man
who wants complete state domina-
tion of every minute of his life from
the bine he comes into the world
until he departs, then Socialists are
best able to give it to him.
* * *
The average Canadian does not
expect or want Socialism from the
non-C.C.F, parties of Canada, but he
does expect something that the C.C.F.
cannot possibly offer. That is freedom.
to develop his own individual initia-
tive, to live his own life, to make
his own future. Give him that -in-'
stead of regimentation with its
crushing taxation, and he will scorn
Socialism.
Greatest Known Oil
Reserve On Earth
Canada suffers from oil anaemia,
producing only about a seventh of het-
needs
erneeds frotn her own wells -says the
Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of
Canada. Yet widespread seepages in
favorable structures in the Mackenzie
River Basin indicate the possibility of
opening up new fields to supplement
those ; at Fort Norman and in the
Turner Valleys
We also have enormous oil deposits
in the tar sands of Alberta—according
to the Canada Year Boort "the
greatest known oil reserve on the
face of the earth." Up to now the
difficulty has been to find an economic
method of reclaiming this oil. But it
will be well worth while to seek for
such a method, as the -estimates of
the amount of oil varies from that of
Canadian geologists of 100 billion
tons to that of the United States
Bureau of Mines, 250 billion tons.

Like To Tinker
Around Your Car?
Car owners who like to take care
of their own autos and tinker with
them in spare -minutes, are enthusi-
astic about a new little business that
has started in a suburb of Akron.
The business now enables them
to rent garage space and tools at a
cent a minute on an hourly basis.
Its proprietor knew how scarce
tools were during and just after the
war. He also knew that because of
the housing shortage many persons
do not have garages of their own to
work in. Being a "tinkerer" himself
he decided to help his fellow tink-
erers.
He rented a garage and hung out
a shingle, "garage space for work-
ing and -tools for rent."
I3is enterprise is - now open 12
hours a day, including Sundays.
For 60 cents an hour, a home-
made mechanic can replace piston
rings and bearings, or wash his
car.- A hoist is available for lift
work.
Two high-school boys are tearing
down a 1941 Packard there and in-
stalling new rings. One customer
recently put in new springs in 21/4
hours.
Week -end business is usually
made up of husband -and -wife teams
who conte there to wash the family
