Indonesia
It isn't very often that this space
swipes material, holusbolus and
'without attempt to disguise, from
contemporaries. Or, if you insist, it's
not very often that it admits doing
so.
However, this piece from the New
Yorker magazine, seems to me such
an unusual piece of writing— one
that so ruthlessly pulls off the hy-
pocritical mask that veils most of
the world's international dealings—
that, without apology, I'm quoting
It 'as is.'
*
"A couple of weeks ago, a few
days before Christmas, Dutch par-
achutists 'landed on Jogjakarta, the
Indonesian capital. They seized first
the airfields, then the government
buildings. The operation went well
and the Dutch managed to bag the
Indonesian government, proving
that there is always something to be
learned from history by students
who approach it in the proper spirit.
"It is interesting to compare the
!recent Dutch opinion of the Indo-
nesian government with the earlier
Nazi opinion of the Dutch govern-
ment. Dr. van Kleffens, the former
Dutch Foreign Minister, said that
the Indoesian government had lost
all authority and existed only as a
radio station. We recall that when
the Dutch government was in exile
la London, the Germans said the
same thing—said it was a shadow
government existing only as a pro-
gram on the BBC. So much depends
on where you sit."
Personally, L would name that as
one of the pithiest chunks of writing
of the year—any year. The only
possible criticism I could make
would be to suggest that the final
stentence might be printed in capital
letters. SO MUCH DEPENDS ON
WHERE YOU SIT. It does
i'asdeed!

United States
Citizens of New York are consid-
erably stirred up these days by
recent revelations of waterfront
conditions that can hardly be de-
scribed as anything less than "de-
plorable." City authorities are now
making moves designed to rescue
that district from continued physi-
cal breakdown, crime and corrup-
tion which are seriously threatening
its role as the nation's chief port.
New Yorkers have long taken
pride in their port with its 650 miles
of piers and dockside warehouses
spreading along the New Yotk and
New Jersey shores — an area
through which pass almost half the
exports of the entire nation.
But now they are learning that
there is much that is rotten along
that famed waterfront—that men
have been murdered, that gangsters
control the lives and destinies of
thousands of workers, and that rac-
keteering regularly adds a heavy
toll to practically all shipments in
or out of the port.
These conditions, plus the physi-
caI blight that has grown along the
shores, are the result of years of
neglect, on the whole problem of
the port. If these conditions con-
tinue, New York's position as the
chief gateway to the new world, will
be seriously endangered. Many big
industrialists are already diverting
overseas shipments to other ports.
At all events, as said before, New
Yorkers are seriously disturbed, and
threaten a real "clean-up." But
whether anything really practical
will come out of all the agitation—
well, that remains to be seen. The
racketeers, at least, don't appear to
be greatly agitated, as yet.
Yugoslavia
The Russian -run Cominform has
just ridiculed and scoffed at the
part played by the Yugoslav Parti-
sans, under Marshal Tito, in the
war against Germany. Some obsex-
Berlin Love Triangle—Former paratrooper, Edward Lade of
Newark, hitchhiked through Berlina blockade to see his German
fiancee and their illegitimate child, Nancy, two. On his arrival
authorities locked him tip for illegal entry of occupied 2011e.
To further complicate matters another German fl•lilllei-1 !aid

"Interesting«—very illterea ling—if
true" just about sums up the re-
action among harness -horse fans to
the announcement that a new track,
to be devoted to floodlight racing,
will be built not far from Toronto.
Most of those who like to watch the
trotters and side-wheelers in action
would undoubtedly welcome such a
move. But such a track has been
mooted so often in'the past — and
never got any further than inere
talk — that the fans just won't get
hotted up until it is ' a bit nearer
reality.
* * 5
While floodlit harness horse rac-
ing has been a' huge,suceess south
of the line—with record-breaking at-
tendance and mutuel play at each
succeeding meet -- there's some
doubt as to whether it would go
over in a financially profitable man-
ner at the site proposed. For many
years Toronto has been known as
just about the biggest sucker town
there is anywhere, so far as the
running horse racket is concerned;
but "Hogtown" has never taken to
the harness horse game -=yet it is
from there that the bulk of patron-
age for a track at Thornhill would
have to come.
m
The chief promoter of the pro-
posed track is a man who has been
trying — unsuccessfully'.-- to get
Thoroughbred racing dates for the
same location; so it can hardly be
any really deep love for the pacers
and trotters which prompts the pre-
sent move. The idea would be to
include Toronto in the flourishing
night harness racing circuit now
operating in the Eastern States, and
to have pari-mutuel betting.
Well, maybe it will go through.
Stranger things than that have hap-
pened. But, speaking strictly per-
sonally, we'll believe it when we see
it --or rather, we'll believe that it
has actually come to pass right after
we've torn up our first mutuel ticket
on a trotter or pacer which failed to
justify the confidence we placed in
it. And, just while we're on the
subject, before things go too far,
we trust that the powers -that -be
make certain that Canadian -bred -or-
-owned harness horses get a fair
shake in the way of races for which
only they are eligible.
One of these evenings some hoc-
key player, possessed of more heat
than brains, is going to raise his
warclub and whack an opponent
over the noggin so lustilyothat
the latter will fail to respond to
treatment. Then there will be a
huge outcry about the brutality of
the rising generation and hockey
will get the biggest black eye it has
ever received — one from which it
may not recover for a long, long
time.
a a
Now there are many who will test-
ify that, so far as we are personally
concerned, a certain amount of
strenuosity, even roughness, has
never kept us away from any ath-
letic event. So long as we are safely
out of harm's way, we enjoy seeing
the lads mix it up with vim,' vigor
also vehemence.
vers think that this may turn out
to be one of the most. erious mis-
takes the Cominform ha'seever made.
For if there was one sure way of
strengthening the Yugoslav deter-
mination not to take orders from
Moscow, it wasto play down the
heroic role of Yugoslavia in over-
throwing Hitler's Naziism.
The latest attempt to discredit the
present Communist leaders in Yugo-
slavia—many of whom were also
Partisan leaders in the mountains
during the war — appeared in the
latest issue of the official Conlin -
form journal, published in Romania,
Written by Golubovic, until recent-
ly Yugoslav ambassador to Roman-
is, the article declares that the Par-
tisans played but an 'unimportant
part in the liberation of their
Country.
The Partisans"—one passage in
the article says— "occupied Yugo-
slav territory only after the advance
of the Russian Army had driven
away the Germans,"
Quite naturally, the majority of
Yugoslays are enraged—and if the
Russian idea, in publishing such an
article, was to weaken Marshal
Tito's hold on his country, it looks
as though the Reds have been
guilty of a very clumsy error—one
that .is likely to have exactly the
opposite effect to that intended.
.But there's a limit to all things.
In the hands of a stercly, free -swing-
ing forward lee clefenee-man a hoc-
key cti 1: cen become just ac deadly
a weapon es any of the "blunt in-
struments" you read about in the
m. -stere -murder storiss. Ale°, hoc-
key is a per.. oval-rontact sport,
where tempers aro liable to become
frayed at the edges far more quickly
than in games erten as—say—base-
ball or tennis.
That is why — in our humble
opinion hockey referees should
keep much tighter control over what
goes on, and be freer from inter-
ference from club managements,
than the officials in charge of other
sports. And that's just what they
aren't. Hockey managers and
coaches argue with officials -- even
threaten them with the loss of their
jol .s — in a manner which makes,
for instance, baseball folks wonder
just what's going on.
' Hockey players also take liberties
with the officials with far too great
freedom — probably knowing that
the worst that can happen to them
is a small fine, which in all pro-
bability some team supporter with
more money than brains will defray,
or a one or two -game rest on the
'sidelines.
* t *
In recent weeks we have had the
sorry spectacle of one manager, of
a major league hockey team, hurling
charges that the paid officials of the
loop were deliberately giving his
club the worst of it; of a coach ac-
cusing rival teams of being out to
beat his club by deliberate and il-
legal roughness; and of two players
—Cal Gardner of Toronto and
Kenny Reardon of Montreal —
swinging clubs in a manner which,
had their aim been as good as their
intentions, might well have ended
ill a tragedy, either single or double.
And to top it off, the Montreal
coach—when one of the erring ath-
letes,was headed for the showers—
raised the latter's hand in the style
of',' fight referee. announcing a
W1' er—as silly a move, probably;
eine ever seen in organized hoc-
key; "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
is 'about all the Latin we can re-
call from our -stretch—many long
years ago—at Harbord Collegiate.
Feely translated it might read, "If
the managements tan't keep from
mtaking fools of themselves, what
can you expect of their players?
* * *
And in case you think we're mak-
ing much ado over nothing, those of
you with long enough memories
might think back and recall the days
when "Ace" Bailey lay, between life
and death, from an injury received
during a hockey match. It was
touch and go for the world's fastest
sport, so-called, then. It could hap-
pen again; and if it does, it won't be
the' players who are to blame. It
wlfi',be those who put "action" —
the'''sort that pays off at the box-
off'1e, before any other consider-
ation" whatsoever and who — when
their 'team is in a slump—make the
excuse that "they're not hitting
hats enough."
