The occasion marks the oiprtii::g of the General Ass:.r'''r of the United( Nations Orgamaa- tion, v%ose charter last June tn. San Francisco brought hope at a collective effort to "maintain peace ai,d international security." The time has now come to es- tabliah the international machinery for peace keeping.

Hirohito De -deified Emperor Hirohito, in an imperf- al rescript (a doetuuent which is the- most hemost binding of all law for a 7't panese), has renounced all claims to divinity.

The people were promised a Japanese Ne'' Deal"elimination of misguided iiactices of the past" free aasemb- iy and a Government based on public opinion. Peace Treaty with Siam Siam, an independent nation, lies between the colonial empires of Britain in Burma and France in Ilt- do-China., 11 long preserved its fteedom by playing on Britain and French rivalry. After Pearl Har - ho: Japan hurried to take posses - :;ion of Siam's wealth—rice, tin and tubber—arid the Thai Government, against the opposition of loan of its people, declared war on Britain and the United States. Last week Siam signed a peace treaty with Great Britain and In- dia. The Siamese are to get rid of ii Japanese in their country, pay for the physical damage they have done in British territories, and help to contribute towards the cconrmic recovery of south-east Asia, Siam i, to be restored to full so- ereign independence. No rights nor territories of hers are sought by Britain which is not "imposing" r.eace terms but freely negotiating them without threat of force.

HAIG, K.C. Winnipeg, Man. Play for the Brier will be preceded by the regular British Consols playdowns which determine the 10 sectional representatives. These will; be staged by the various provin- cial curling associations, commencing late, in January and continuing through the greater part of February.

Ambition to win a provincial title and gain a berth m the Brier playdown, has spurred hundreds of curlers throughout the country to improve their curling technique.Today, Canadian curlers are generally recogniz- ed as the world's best.
