The Seaforth News, 1948-05-27, Page 3What Goes On In The World By Norman Blair Holland "The youth and sex of the new Monarch, and the deep sincerity with which she voiced her closing words, so deeply impressed. all pre - .sent that there were few eyes which Were not 'dimmed with teaes," That is how a contemporary news- paper " described the accession to the throne of The Netherlands of young Queen Wilhelmina on Sep- tember 7th 1898. ' Arid there were tears in the eyes of many who lis- tened to the 68-year-ald Monarch. when, earlythis month,' she ad flonneecr her intentbn of giving up the throne immediately after her ,golden jubilee celebration this' Sep tereber, In her radii speech Qileen Wilhelmina spoke of the "utter. tiredness" and "tile burden of ad vancing years" which had decider) her; to take this step. She will turn Wilhelmina the throne over to her daughti r, Crown Princess Juliana who, as she said, "not only has wise opinions but who has the advantage of be. Ing young." In the half century during which she ruled, Queen Wilhelmina has guided her country through had times and good, including two World Wars and - colonial war which left Juliana . the Netherlands Empire in a greatly weakened condition. She gained the resp t and admiration, not only of her own people, but of the world at large. There are few who will blame her for letting someone else "take over" — and even fewer who do not wish her many more years in which to. enjoy a well-earned rest. Great Britain According to another Conservative Member of Parliament — a Colonel J. R. H. Hutchinson -r_ Winston Churchill's advice about how Bri- tish visitors to the United States should act is brief and to the point — comprising just three short sent- ences. "When you get to the 'United States you have to forget this blank, blank Socialist government of Great Britain" says Churchill, as quoted by Hutchinson. "It is the govern- ment of Britain a d you do not criti- cize it. But when you get back home — you make up for lost timet" And the London Daily Telegraph apparently doesn't think very much of the Foreign Secretary as a speech maker, "The sort of speech Mr, Bevin has nowadays to read aloud defies attention," it reported re- cently. "Toward the end even Mr. Bevin himself seemed affected; and one •recalled the story of the peer who once dreamed he was spealcing in the House of Lords, and woke up to find he www." Palestine When the Union Jack came down from Government House on "The Hill of Evil Council" at Sunset of Friday May 14th. it Marked the termination of Britain's 31 -year rule over Palestine. For it was on De- cember 9th. 1917 that Jerusalem surrendered to Britain, thus marking the success of the British Troops in drivin; the Turks out of Palestine during World War.Gne. The League of Nations mandate to Britain of- . ficially came into- force ome six years later, in 1923. Lieutenant General MacMillan, commander of the British Forces in the' Holy Land, issued special orders for martial law" in territory deemed vital for the withdrawal of troops from Palestine, this territory ' including parts of Jerusalem through which they would have to pass. Russia Even when it comes to cigarettes, the Russians can't seem to keep up with their announced manufacturing quotas. Recently a Russian trade union paper«quoted the Food Indus- tries Minister who had been .telling to what extent the cigarette indus- try had met its planned production And although that industry was 4;e per cent over quota .on 'the higher- priced grades of "smokes" only 12 per cent of the cheapest kinds, 49 per cent of the medium -grade, had been put on the market. The cheapest Soviet cigarettes. cost " rubles a package — which is about ten per cent of the daily wage of a low -paid' worker. Medium-priced smokes run front 6 10•9 rubles per pack, while more. expensive grades run from le to 20 rubbles a package.. Germany On the surface, things have been quieter in Berlin, But in spite of re- peated warnings that the Western Allies have no iutentio' of abandon- ing the German capital, the Rus- sians are quietly continuing their attempts to transform it into a wholly Soviet -dominated city. In spite of their threats t� do so after the breakdown of the joint inquiry into. the Gatow air disaster, the Russians have as yet made little attempt to further restric, air traf- fic to a d from Berlin. They have also shown signsof a slightly more conciliatory attitude regarding other types of transportation. But these developments are not sufficient to indicate that the Rus- sians have abandoned their inten- tion to force the Western Powers to leave the city. Taken together with other moves, they would rather seem to indicate only a change in tactics. Now the Russians apear to be trying to demonstrate to the Germans that the Soviet authorities are the real masters of the capital. One move in this direction came when the Soviet Commandant, Gen - earl Kotikov, made a statement ac- cusing the Americans of allowing their sector to become a centre of crime and lawlessness comparable to Chicago and the Wild 'West in their most violent days. The Ameri- cans are also c: lrged with failing to keep their own troops under con- trol and of trying to set up a sepa- rate police force, This campaign was probably, also designed to offset damage done to the Russian reputa- tion by the disclosure of a consider- able number of abductions and poli- tical arrests carried out right in Berlin by -Soviet agents. Other steps in the same direction were the requisitioning by Soviet authorities of construction equip- ment belonging to building firms wit). headquarters itt the western sectors of the city, and the holding up of all parcel post addressed to Western Germany unless mailed from Post Offices in the Russian - occupied part of Berlin. So althogther, in spite of the sur- face calm, underneath the Russians don't appear to be overlooking a thing that will increase their pres- tige in German eyes, and lower that of Britain, France and the United States. United States In spite of the seriousness of the matter, many Republica: were se- cretly pleased at the plight Presi- dent Truman found himself in the "secret Russian talks affair; and there are some who think that Sta- lin and Molotov ":!n't overlook the American political angle, especi- ally in an election year, when they decided to l roadcast the news of these same talks. There seems to be no doubt that the United States- acted clumsily, to say the least, in permitting such talks to occur' without first inform- ing Britain and Prance of what was going on. In both London and Paris — particularly the latter — there was real fear fo. a while that Moscow and Washington might be secretly dealing with one an- other, and excluding other members of the Council of Foreign Minis- ters, These fears were allayed, to some extent at least, when the United States assured Britain and France that no official note was given to Molotov by U. S. Ambas- sador Walter Bedell Smith, and that there neter was the 'slightest intention of seeking bilateral ne- gotiations with. Moscow. It was explained that when General Smith called on the Soviet Foreign Min- ister it was merely for the purpose of making the United States' posi- tion perfectly clear, and of seek- ing to ascertain the Russian posi- tion and .intentions. However, 'for a while it looked as if it might develop into a rather nasty situation; and no doubt some of the+"top brass" Russians are. having a quiet chuckle over the at least partial success of their plan for sowing seeds of discord among the Western Allies. Diplomacy, as played by the Soviets, is decldely no game for an amateur; and as one Washington onlooker phrased it, "The whole thing reminds me of a beginner sitting down •t0 w game of chess with a Master play- er. The beginner is figuring one or perhaps two moves 'ahead of "the one he is making. But the Master May be figuring on as many as ten ahead." Great Britain has alrea'dy admitted more "displaced persons" from the war -sones of Europe than any other country in the world.

"Silver Threads Among the Gold" In the days of the Georgian's great- until the pitcher blew up. ness rival managers used to warn * * * their players — "Don't stir Cobb up". But there have also been plenty of players whose stay in the big leagues was greatly shortened be- cause of their sensitiveness and in- ability to "take it". * * * Not s long ago Billy Evans — the reformed ttinpire who is now general manager of the Detroit Tigers = was talking to newspaper- men about some of the jockeys he had seen and heard in action, and of some of their exploits. Among others he mentioned a great out- fielder who was almost ridden out of baseball, and who took years to live down a chance remark he once made. When just a raw rookie, this out- fielder was taken by a teammate on a double date. The evening ended up at the home of one of the girls who said — when it came time to eat — "Pardon me while I go out and put on my percolator." (It might be explained here that this was in -an age when coffe perco- lators were something quite new.) "Aw, gee," blurted the raw recruit, "why should you bother to change. You look swell in what you got on now I" * * * The teammate must have been something of a flannelmouth, or else one of the girls spilled the beano. Anyway it didn't take long for the story to make the rounds of the league. And whenever- that young outfielder strode toward the batter's box in a tight spot, a shrill voice from the enemy dugout was sure to be heard saying, "Pardon me while I put on my percolator" whereupon a deeper voice would re- ply, "Why bother to change? You look swell, in what you got on now." Bench jockeys used to try and. work on Waite Hoyt — another good pitcher - but they never did so for long, as Hoyt was one of the sharpest -witted men in th'e game, and seldom failed to find a way of shutting them up. One classic example of this was when, toward the end of his career, ex -Yankee Hoyt was performing for the Pitts- burgh Pirates against the Chicago Cub * I't was early in the Spring; and the previous Autumn the Cubs had been crushed and flattened in the World's Series by the New York Yankees, losing four straight, The afternoon we speak of the Cub bench jockeys began riding iloyt very nastily. He stood it for a while, then called for time-out. Striding over to the Cubs' dugout he yelled, loud e: iugh for folks in the stands to hear, "If you guys don't shut up I'll put on my old Yankee uniform — and scare you to death." After that there was silence, and plenty of it, from the Chicago bench. ..... For Eczema Skin Troubles Stake up your mind today that you are going to give your akin n real chance to get well.
