"PEACE ON EARTH" NOT
TRUE IN PALESTINE
Nearly two thousand years ago, in
the Holy Land, the angel said, "On
-earth peace, good will toward men,"
Today, on the eve of another Christ-
mas, we find that Holy Land seething
with hatred and ill-feelings towards
mien, and the scene of bloodshed add
:disorders.
Since the United Nations' decision to
partition Palestine between the Jews
and. the Arabs, coenting at least 124
killed in Men and four in Syria., the
Associated Press tally of dead throng
out the Middle East has mounted to
well over 250. A Haganah officers as,
serted that "between 80 and 85? Arabs
were slain in repelling an attack re-
eently on the 'battered Hatikvah quar-
ter of Tel Aviv, but police and civil
government officials discounted the
claim as "bunk", "Maybe a few were
killed, but no great number'," they said.
The first outburst of Arab fury over
partition appeared to be gradually sub-
siding in. Palestine, but Hussein Khal-
idi, chairman of the higher executive,
delivered a scorching attack upon the
United Nations at a press conference,'
He charged that handling the Pales-
tine problem in the United Nations was.
characterized by "political blackmail,
power politics, economic pressure, and
even by corruption and bribery,"
He also said, "the sooner the UN
disappears, the better," and he declar,
ed that any invasion of Jewish displac,
ed persons into Palestine would be met
by a counter-invasion from neighbor-
ing Arab countries. Khalidi went on
to say: "It shotild be realized now that
the Arabs are not bluffing,, We do not
underestimate the strength of Haganah
but 60,000 Haganah will not ineirni-.
date 1,250,000 Palestine Arabs nor
40,000,000 Arabs from the shores of the
Atlantic to the shores of the Indian
troops were moVed recently
into the blood-Stained border area be-
tween Tel Aviv and Jaffa, in a move
to end disorders itt the section where,
Arabs and Jews have waged their fier-
cest fighting in nearlY two weeks of
Palestine communal warfare, Acting
firmly to stamp out the disorders that
have claimed over a hundred lives, in-
jured more than 600 persons and de-
stroyed proprety with an estimated
worth of $10,000,000, British authorit-
ies placed a dusk-to-dawn cerfew' on
the Tel Aviv-Jaffa "no man's land" and
sealed it off with British troops, There
is neither peace nor gdod will in the
Holy Land this Christmas.

BIQ 4 AGREEMENT
VAIN HOPE
Barring an unlikely Russian conces-
sion, all hope of agreement on essential
questions of the future German econ-
omy vanished in the council of Foreign
ministers in London recently. The en
tire Soviet plan, for a unified German
economy is based upon.fulfillment of
Russian claims to s10,000,000,000 in re-
parations from Germany, and Secretary
of State Marshall put the United States
on record as opposing Russian repara-
tions claims from current German pro-
duTctiiioe n.
United States delegation .believ-
es, he said, that the "reparations issue
was decided at Potsdam" and there re-
mains' for the Soviet Union only the
delivery of industrial ylants found to
be in excess of needs of the German
economy,,Mr. Marshall's- remark ef-
fectively arred the way to agreement
on this basic question unless Foreign
;Minister Molotov surprises his collea-
gues and withdraws the reparations de.:
mand, which would be a very great
concession from the Russian point of
view.

ANTARCTIC OASIS
Last February, Admiral Richard E.
Byrd's Operation High Jump, a U.S.
naval task force, discovered an Ant-
arctic Oasis, inland from the Knox
coast of Antartica. The expedition end-
ed its work too soon for a thorough
study to be made of the causes of the
phenomena, leaving unsolved the mys-
tery of how the lakes could remain un-
frozen amid a continental expanse of
snow and ice.
As summer approaches in the south-
ern hemisphere, the Navy's explorers
are getting ready for another look at
the oasis of green, ice-free lakes. The
1947-48 expidition is much smaller than
last year's. It consists of two ice-
breakers; the Edisto from Norfolk, Va.,
and the Burton Island, from San Pedro
Calif., which were on their way through
the Pacific last week for a rendezvous
at Soya.
When the vessels reach their destin-
ation in Antarctica about the end of

KNOW WINGHAM
Early History of Wingliarn, coned,
(An extract from the Historical. Atlas
of the County of Huron, Ont., publish-
ed in 1879):
But to. begin with the early history'
of Wingham. We may say that the
Government, (as in many other cases
during their surveys of the new town-
ships) laid out a "town plot" of Wing-
ham, consisting of several lots in con-
cession "A" of the Township of Turn-
berry, where the confluence is formed
by the north and south branches of the
Maitland River. We have had reason
to remark on 'other occasions that "city
making" was/ a business at which Gov-
ernments) and particularly the' Cana-
dian Government, had not usually
proved successful,, It w•as thought' by
many ,however, that because the Gov-
ernment had- laid out a "town plot",
that was all which was required to
make the place a town; and with this
idea a number of people settled on the
"plot" at an early day. The abliSt
which the Government sustained at the
hands of, some of these worthy 'citizens
for being induced to come' and settle
in a frog-pond (as "Lower Whighain,"
now so called, is and of necessity Oast
for many years continue),, is explain-
able, when we look ,,aionnd us end
"ve in" .the extraordinary stupidity
of the Government engineers, ,Who
lected that locality 'in, preTerence to
the beautiful and advantageous pOSition
which Wingham pioper posiesses.
