HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1948-12-02, Page 6One Wants Peace, the Other Has It—Count Bernadotte lel ),
Palestine truce mediator, enjoys a joke with Dr. Nikolas G.
Mavris, governor general of the Dodecanese, during one of the
Count's visits to Rhodes,
Now a friend of our claims that
this actually happened to him dur-
ing the past summer; and although
we have some faint doubts as to his
strict veracity, a much similar tale
having been going the rounds for
many years, still an item is an item,
so here it is just about the way he
told it.
* * *
He was on his way to the Fort
Erie races, but got lnmg up by a
highly 'mportant business deal
while passing through the fair city
of Buffalo — and right here we
would like to interject that any man
who permits a business deal, no
matter how important, to interfere
with a visit to a race -track cannot
be classified as a real lover of the
noble Thoroughbred horse at heart.
* * *
Anyway, this chap had in his pos-
session some highly secret informa-
tion re a certain horse running in
the fourth race—a tip so hot that
it was practically the sante tempera-
ture you generally find at the Fort
Erie track, which can be very sultry
indeed and in fact is used by certain
shirt manufacturers as a proving -
ground, as they know that if a
man's shirt will not melt off his
back at Fort Erie it will stand up
anywhere on earth.
* * *
Naturally enough our friend did
not wish to let this piece of price-
less information go to waste; but
on taldng a quick peek around he
could not see anybody who Looked
as though he might be in the busi-
ness of accepting bets, which is a
most unusual situation in Buffalo,
or anywhere else for that matter,
But having been carefully brought
up as a youth, he remembered his
parents' injunction about always
seeking out a representative of the
law when in trouble.
* * *
So he immediately went out on
Main Street and hailed the first uni-
formed policeman he saw. "Hey,
copper," he said politely, "I am a
stranger here in town so could you
kindly tell me whereabouts I can
place a small wager on a real good
thing I got going in the fourth at
Erie?
* * *
The Buffalo copper shook his
head rather sadly. "It so happens
that I was just transferred to this
precinct today, so don't know just
what goes around here as yet, and
so cannot tell you where you can
get a bet up, I am sorry to say," the
replied. "But I can tell you exactly
what to do. You just stand here,
and the first guy who comes along
with his toes sticking out of his
boots, his trousers all in rags, and
a Racing Form in his coat pocket—
ask him Because there is nothing
surer in this world than that he'll
be able to direct you to a bookie!"
* * *
Up to now we have refrained
from making aur annual predictions
regarding Canadian football, no
doubt much to the disgust of the
ambling element, who always wait
with the utmost eagerness for our
pickings, before making their final
prices. (Like, for instance, there
was the year when the Ottawa
Rough Riders were tentatively
strong favorites, but as soon as it
became know that we had selected
them to take the championship, the
odds on them went up to ten to
one, which just goes to show you
what our opinion means in expert
eyes.)
* * *
Well, the way we look at it, when
the shooting is finally over in the
Big Four, we think you will find
that the Toronto Argonauts have
once again taken it all. And why
. e AmenI a.
The hand that lifts the cup that
cheers
Should not be used to shift the
gears.
we are picking the Argos to repeat
is not because of any superiority on
or behind the line, through the air
or in the kicking department. It is •
because the Smilers have once
again said that they refuse to play
football on Sunday,
* * *
There may be either one of two
reasons behind this refusal, and
you are welcome to take your pick.
It may be because the Argonauts
represent the city of Toronto, where
the Sabbath day has always been
very highly respected. Or it may be
because the Argonauts are smart
enough to know that any team
which schedules a. hard game for a
Saturday and another, maybe even
harder, for twenty-four hours later,
is taking all the worst of it front
a physical angle — so much the
worst of it that it may mean all the
difference between being a cham-
pion and just a contender.
* * *
Because the French-Canadian fans
refuse to turn out in paying quanti-
ties— or so it is claimed—on any
other day, the Alouttes play most
of their at !none games on Sunday.
Because no Sunday football is al -
1 wed in the Province of Ontario,
they also have to play plenty of
games on Saturdays. And in spite
of all the top-notch talent Montreal
can corral or import, by the time
they get to the end of a long and
arduous season, their 1l::yers are
worn to a frazzle.
* * *
It seems rather a pity, but that's
how it is—and with the box-office
continuing to play a bigger and
bigger part in most sports, there
doesn't seem any way out of it. At
all events, we look for the Argo-
nants to be good enough to over-
come even the heavy load we are
now putting on them, and to take
not only the Big Four but the Do-
minion title as well. Come on you

United Nations
The mountain may have labored;
but the mouse it brought forth was
a very feeble specimen and by ne.
m ans who. insurance men would
call a "good risk." Which is an-
othe way ,f.tdsaying .that; after 18
1. :nths work, the United Nations
Commission on Armaments wound
up wit! the United States and Rus-
sia shouting "you're another" much
af''r the manner of a couple of
schoolboys "calling names" over the
b -sir fence.
Without even bothering with the
formality of a vote, the 'Commis-
sion tentatively adopted a report
which says that the majority of the
nations believe that disarmament is
impossible at present, But it did
add that a scheme for "ems reduc-
tion should be at least started.
This means that when the Paris
General' Assembly begins its arms
debate, it will have before it two
resolutions. .One of them separates
atomic weapons from the sphere of
the Commission. The other says
that disarmament cannot be put
into effect until there is a greater
amount of international confidence
ill the world picture. As both re-
solutions are bitterly opposed by
Russia, this probably means that
the armaments factoriesneedn't
start laying off men in expectation
of anything, very drastic happening
at Paris.
Speaking for Russia, Jacob A.
Malik said that he wanted to put
on the record a specific statement
that the United States and Britain
'ere solely to blame for the failure
to work out disarmament. Freder-
ick Osborn, the United States dele-
gate, came back with the declara-
tion that Russia was spending 16
per cent of her budget on military
expenditures, as compared to half
that percentage for his country.
To this Mr. Malik replied that
such comments were an insult. He
said that the Red Army had spent
millions, but solely for the defense
of its homeland, whereas United
States military expenditures were
governed solely by the desires and
ambitions of its monopolists."
So there, for the time being, the
matter rests; and once again the
Russians seem to have maneuvred
the Western Allies into what—in
the eyes of the rest of the world—
would appear to be a highly unfa-
vorable position. It may be true,
as the poet said, that "peace hath
her victories no less renowned than
war's;" but they've all been pretty
much one-sided since VJ clay dawn-
ed. Talking strongly in favor of
world disarmament - yet insisting
that atomic weapons should have.
no part in such a move—might be
rather funny if you saw it in a
comic strip. The way it stands, it's
too close to tragedy for any laugh-
ter.
Great Britain
In 1040 the I{ing established a
new honor for civilian deeds of
heroism -the George Medal, Early
in August it was awarded to Dr.
Hugh Edmund 'Watts; sand if ever
a man deserved such recgnition it
was he, for his was the type of
heroism which cold-bloodedly keeps
on taking calculated risks, in spite
of the knowledge that the odds are
tremendously against coming
through without loss of life or limb.

For Watts is chief inspector of
explosives for the British Home Of-
fice. It was he that opened the 22
bombs .mailed last spring by° Italian
and' Zionist terrorists to Ernest
Bevin, Winston Churchill and other
Eugtislu men and women on their
"condemned list%":
Watts knew right well what such
bombs could do, as he had secn.the
shattered body of a elan who. open-
ed one by mistake. Yet( he kept
right on with the job, coolly, meth-
oclically, just part of the day's work.
Among those that he dealt 'with
was a roll of magazines which the
wife of the former. British com-
mander in Palestine had torn open
to within a ;half-inch of the deton-
ating point.
After the award was made Watts
stood in his office in Whitehall re-
ceiving congratulations. Behind him
was a large collection of butterfly,
incendiary and other '%types of
bombs and grenades, once deadly,
now rendered harmless. " Don't
make a song and dance about it,"
he told newspaper men. "All I did
was find the wires between battery
and fuse, and snip them. The rest
was routine."
Some routine!
Central 'Europe
One of the world's richest coal
fields lies wholly in territory now
occupied by Czechoslovakia and
Poland. Now those two nations
have announced plans for long-
- range development of this field on a
vast scale, the aim being to build
up in Eastern Europe a "rival,.to
the Ruhr Valley"
Among the projects connected
with this development are construc-
tion of a huge power plant, and
improvement of the Oder River,
which flows into the Eastern -con-
trolled Baltic, as a great trade artery
to replace the Elbe, which empties
into the Western -controlled _ North
Sea.
The Poles and Czechs predict that
their "new Ruhr"—(the old one was
Germany's arsenal in the last war)
—will produce ten million tons of
'steel per year. Admittedly •they
have a long road 'to travel before
reaching that figure; still they're on
their way.
But there's one big handicap to
this ambitious scheme. Neither Po-
land or Czechoslovakia has suffi-
cient iron ore for operations on
such a scale—and you cannot make
steel without iron. They say that
they're hoping to line up new
sources of that commodity—some-
how, somewhere.
Just where they hope to find it
hasn't been divulged. But knowing
whose voice actually speaks through
the mouths & Czech and Polish
leaders—well, if I happened to live
within easy marching distance, and
knew that there were large amounts
of iron ore underneath the ground,
I must confess that I'd be just a
trifle ner'vbus as to the future,
Understand Now?
"I want a man's comb," said the
customer to the clerk.
"A narrow man's comb?" inquired
the clerk.
"No. A comb for a stout man
with rubber teeth."
