The. Paris Round -Up
On December 11th the third re-
gular session of the United Nations
General Assembly cane 'to. an -end.
At the beginning of the Fall; 82
days before, delegates of 58 nations
had gathered in the Palais de Chaii-
Aot.
More than six hundred meetings
were held. The delegates spoke
something around seventeen 'million
words. Each day minograph oper-
ators used 1000 reams of paper—
and that's a heap of paper—just to
aecord the proceedings"
And what was accomplished
Through all these lengthy and
wordy goings-on? Well, only time
tan finally tell. Perhaps some seeds
were sown that will, at some future
date, burst forth into a harvest.
But, from this angle, it looks 'very
snitch as though the whole affair—'
if it benefited anybod}' at all ,_ did
good only to Paris hotelkeepers,
souvenir-sbllers, and entertainment
merchants. With the Russians
''no-ing" every proposal made by
As Western allies— and vice versa
—hopes for a final world settlement
somehow seem even more remote
Allan they did ,the day when peace
was declared' — and we all ldoked
forward to "no more war". •
Great Britain..
There is not much comfort in
.yoking into a future," icriite Win-'
>•iton Churchill to Joseph Stalin,
"'where you and the ,countries you
dominate, phis the Communist part-
. les in many other states, are all
drawn up on one side and those
WIci'rallied to the English-speaking.
,mations and their associates are on
The other."
The letter, which the:, .former
ldiritish Priiiie Minister read to an
attentive House of Parliament on
Dec. 10th was written to Stalin on
Riding "Hot Shot"—Clarence
Piton, sensational 17 -year-old
apprentice jockey, has been
fairly "burning up.the tracks"
lately and 1,1,111 finish his first
riding season with a mark of
:lose to 250 winning mounts.
NorincinBtc.i,r
April 29th 1945, just ten days before
..the finish of the European war. In
. commenting on the letter Churchill
said that it marked the highest point
in his relations with Stalin.
'Amy well the great .British war -
leader foresaw what was likely to
be the course of future events, how
eloquently he. pleaded for a better
understanding between the Soviets
and the rest of the world, is seen in
another paragraph from the same
letter.
"It is quite obvious that their
quarrel would tear the world to
pieces and all of us leading men
who had anything to do with it
would be• shamed before history.
Even embarking on a long period
of suspicion, of abuse and counter -
abuse, and of opposing policies
would be disaster hampering the
great development of world prosper-
ity for the masses which are attain-
able only by of r trinity. (The Big
Three). "I hope ther'e. is . n'o 'word
oi• phrase in this -outpouring, of my
heart to you, Mr. Stalin, which un-
wittingly gives offense:- If so, let
m. know, but do not, I beg of you
my friend, underrate the, divergen-
cies which are opening upon matters
which you may think are small but
which are symbolic of the way the
Englisli-speaking democracies look
at life."
Prophetic words and no mistake.
"Suspicion"- 1`abuse".- "counter -
abuse" — "opposing policies" —
we've seen them all come to a
point where they threaten "disaster
hafnpering the great development of
world prosperity." ' •
Whether or not Mr. Stalin ever
even answered the letter. does not
appear. In all probability he izhut-
tered something into hie moustache
about "bourgeois swine", then toss-
ed the epistle into the waste, basket.
Palestine
On his return from a quick trip
to Palestine the ac`•ng United Na-
tions Mediator,. Dr. Ralph j.
Bunche, reported that prospects for
a permanent peace in the Holy
Land are better than ever before.
He said that nowhere in his tra-
vels through the Middle East did
he hear any talk of resumption of
full-scale hostilities between Arabs
and Jews, and, that both sides are
showing marked readiness to nego-
tiate a peaceful settlement.
All of which sounds very hopeful
and promising. However, there are
other authorities who do not take
quite such an optimistic outlook.
According to British delegate Har-
old Beeley the situation in Palestine
remains highly "explosive", and. he
accused the Israeli armed forces of
baying made two "incursions" into
Trans-Jordan territory in defiance
of the Security Council's orders. He
gave warning that any Israeli at-
tack on that territory might "oblige
Britain to take action invisaged in
its treaty with that Arab country"
which means, in plainer words, that
there is a possibility of Great Bri-
tain being forced to fight against
Israel. That, of course, could mean
a flare-up which might spread to
world wide proportions,
Nor is everything peace and quiet
among the Arabs themselves. King
Abdullah of Transjordania has de-
clared that his Government consid-
ers all of Palestine as its'"s'ecurity
zon-." Other Arab leaders feel that
Abdullah's head is getting a little
-too big for his fez., and threaten to
take steps aimed at reducing tete
swelling.
The day ilasn"t arrived yet, hut,
we imagine it's coming -tile day
when the professional hockey Top
Brass will regret that they ever in-
troduced the• center "red,line" which
towed along with it the hectic
scramble they call hockey nowa-
days" •
• * *
We freely admit that this style—
when played at its best—provides
the cash customers with mare con-
tinuous action than the old form,
which put a premium on skill, stick -
handling and trickery. But that's
just the trouble. A modern genera-
tion of hockey onlookers has conte
along that wouldn't recognize skill
and stick -handling if they met ..it
on a platter—and they're the folks
who start that deadly CLAP -
CLAP -CLAPPING and shouting
for "ACTION" whenever there is
a half -minute of let-up.
* ,g *
And with the over -lengthy sea-
sons they have these days; no team.
can continue to give the clients what
they have come to expect. In other
words,: in their so-called "speeding
up" of the game the moguls have,
in our humble opinion, piled up a
heap of future trouble for them-
selves, Attendances have not be-
gun to fall off, as yet, to any appre-
d"iable extent—but some of our
"friends" who do a bite of ticket
scalping on the side tell us that
suckers are getting a bit 'more
choosey --and it isn't nearly as easy
to get top prices for the pasteboards,
except when two top teams are
playing.
• k *
Something similar occurred in the
sport, if you can call it that, of six
''day. bicycle .riding. In the early days
it was simply a grind, with the
pedallers going round and round
until — at lengthy intervals — one
team would try to "steal a lap".
Then there would be a wild hulla-
baloo, until the "jamming" was
ended by the exhaustion of the
athletes, and the crowd settled down
to wait for another.
k' :k *
Then the promoters—astute fel-
lows, as they thought—figured that
if one or two such "jams" per even-
ing could get the crowds on edge,
more of them would be even more
likely to draw customers. So they
started offering "lap prizes" -sums
of money of varying sizes for any
team that stole a lap on the others.
* *.
So we had "jams" every hour—
• then every half hobs—until finally
the spectators began to show bore-
dom any time the boys wesen't
riding one another high on the
boarded turns—sneaking through on
the rail—and whooping it up. Then,
almost inevitably, the customers ' �t
tired of something which wall' just
as artificial as a hennaed wig on an
80 -year-old dowager, an,d simply
stayed away and went to the movies.
* * *
We don't think anything as
drastic as that will happen to
hockey. But when "the' honeymoon
is over"—when the folks start
looking at their hockey dollars just
as critically as they are beginning
to look at their movie ones—we
predict that empty pews in Big
League hockey arenas will not be
the rarities they've been for the
past few years.
* * *
Then, we think, the tide will turn.
Possibly the center red line will be
eliminated, and trickery, smooth
skating and stick -handling will
come back to their own. It is quite
noticeable that when Ivlax Bentley
—one , of the very few left who
knows how to handle a. stick—gets
out on the ice and does some of his
tricky stuff, the crowd -noise often
raises to a roar—and some of the
younger generation look at one an-
other in amazement, as if saying,
"Well, what do you know about
that—where did the guy ever learn
tot act that way?"
• * *
All of which should be enough
regarding hockey — or about any
sport—for the time being. Maybe
we're all wet in what we''ve just
been predicting. We've been wrong
before—in fact, all .,our life we've
made something of a hobby of pull-
ing boners, so once more won't
make much difference.
• * *
Anyway, we take this opportunity
of wishing to all our readers—tile
whole three of them—best wishes
for a very Happy Christmas—and
may 1949 be the best year you've
' ever had—and the worst you ever
will have.
Appropriate
At the "We Have a Card for
Every Occasion" counter of a large
department store, the clerk asked
the woman standing beside me what
he could do for her.
"I'm afraid you haven't anything
that will do," she said. "I've look-
ed all these cards over."
"Madam," said' the clerk, "we
have greeting cards for everything.
What kind do you want?"
The woman hesitated, then leaned
forward and said in a low voice,
"My brother has just been sent to
jail, and I want to send him a card
expressing my regret."
The clerk thought a moment, then
reached among the cards "For the
Sick5' and handed her one. It read:
"Sorry to hear you're a shut-in.
Hope you get out soon,"
