IIATGOES ON
The Paris Round -Up
On December lith the third re-
gular session oz the United Nations
General Assembly came to an end.
t the beginning of the Fall, 82
days before, delegates of 58 nations
had gathered in the Palais de Chail-
lot.
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
record the proceedings.
And what was accomplished
through all these lengthy — and
wordy goings-on? Well, only time
can 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
Manch as though the whole affair—
if It benefited anybody at all — did
good only to Paris hotelkeepers,
aonvenir•sellers, and entertainment
merchants. With the Russians
"ao-ing" every proposal made by
the Western allies— and vice versa
—hopes for a final world settlement .
somehow seem even mare remote.
than they did the day when peace
was declared — and we all looked
forward to "no more war".
Great Britain
rhere is not much comfort in
looking into a future," wrote Win -
slot Churchill to Joseph Stalin,
"where you and the countries you
dominate, plus the Communist part-
ies in many other states, are all
drawn up on one side and those
who rallied to the English-speaking .
.nations and their associates are an
she other."
The letter, wlhichthe former
British Prime '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 hill finish his first
riding season with a mark of
close to 250 winning mounts.
1N THE
WORLD
Norman Blair
April 29th 1945, just ten days before
the finisli of the European war, In
commenting on the letter Churchill
said that it marked the highest point
in his relations with Stalin.
How 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 tvith 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 our trinity, (The Big
Three). "I hope there is no word
or 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
English-speaking democracies look
at life,"
Prophetic words and no mistake,
"Suspicion" — "abuse" — "counter -
abuse" — "opposing policies" —
we've seen them all conte to a
pcint'where they threaten "disaster
hampering the great development of
world prosperity."
Whether or not Mr. Stalin ever
even answered the letter does not
appear. In all probability he mut-
tered something into his moustache
about "bourgeois swine", then toss-
ed the epistle into the waste basket.

The day hasn't arrived 'yet, but
we imagine it's coming—the day
when the professional hockey 'I'op,
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 ssyle—
when played at its best =provides
the cash customers with more coB-
tinuous action than the old forst,
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 ,jt
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,
5 * *
And with the over -lengthy ;sea-
son's 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
gamemoguls • " of the the menu s have ,
in our humble opinion, piled up a
heap of future trouble for them-
selves, Attendances have not be-
gun tfall off, as yet, to any appre-
ciable
-
clable extent—but some of our
"friends" who do a bit of ticket
g tell • in on the side to 1 u s
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,
* * *
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.
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
atarted offering "lap prizes"—sums
of money of varying sizes for any
team that stole a lap on the others.
* ,t *
So we had "jams" every hour—
then every half hour—until finally
the spectators began•to show bore-
dom any time the boys wesen't
riding one another high on the
boarded turns—snealcing through on
the rail—and whooping it up, Then,
almost inevitably, the customers got
tired of something which was just
as artificial as a hennaed wig on an
80 -year-old dowager, and 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.
Palestine
On his return from a quick trip
to Palestine the acting United Na-
tions Mediator, Dr,* Ralph J.
Bundle, 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 '
having made two "incursions" into
Trans-Jordan territory is defiance
of the Security Council's orders. He
gave warning that any Israeli at-
tack on that territory might "oblige
Britain to take action hnvisaged 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, Icing
Abduilah of. Tral'lsjordania has de-
clared that his Government consid-
ers all of Palestine as its "security
xor,,:," 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 the
swelhhl g,
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. his quite
noticeable that when Max Bentley
—one of the very few left who
knows how to handle a stick --gats
out on the ice and does some of his
tricky stuff, the crowd -noise often
raises. to a Pilot'—atilt 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 enougu
"regarding hockey — or about any
sport—for thetime 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 oncemore won't
make much difference.
H k t''
Anyway, we take this opportunity
of wishing to all our readers—the
whole three of them—best wishes
for a very Happy Christmas—and
may 1949 be the bests year you've
ever had -and the worst you ever
will have.
Grosse's Pet Elephant
Most people like to keep, a net,
but usually some tractable
beast of
moderate size. Charles Grosse also
likes to keep a pet, but isn't so par-
ticular,about what -it is and once, in
Africa, he ,kept a baby elephant'.
Phant'.
Jojo only lived for two years but
by that time he was larger than was
1l
"He seemed to be d
manageable,
over the place, like a fat friend in
a telephone box," says Grosse.
Eight-month old Jojo had belong-
ed to Grosse's predecessor and
lumbered everywhere, both in and
out of doors, with overwhelming
curiosity, "He was very well house-
trained," said Grosse, and used to
stand at the table at meal -times,
stroking and blowing moistly, first
one, neck, and then the other, as he
blarneyed us in turn, for a hand-
out. He was forbidden to tduch
anything on the table, but when he
thought he had us lulled into a
mood of warm sentiment, he would
stick out his little trunlc, and, with
the uttermost tip, gently stroke the
grapes or bananas, in the centre
dish. If I glanced at him when
thus engaged, I would find him posi-
tively squinting, in his efforts to
watch both of us at once.
"The time came when he touched
each side of the door as he entered,
and thereafter, his entrance because
more and more difficult. He was all
right for height, but his shoulders
and his bulging little tummy be-'
came appreciably wider than .the
doorway. The time came, of course,
when all the 'breathing -in' in the
world didn't help him. He accepted
the fact with resigned common-
sense and took up his position at
the window, where he would stand,
with his head inside, grumbling
squeakily, and nodding like a mech-
anical toy.
"His greatest joy in life 'was his
bath, This took place in a shallow
dam that fed the coffee -factory, and
my natives had constructed a,nlud-
slide for hint, down the bank, One
would go down, and find him play-
ing all by himself, but he did like an
audience, end he was lavish in Itis
encores. IIe would try that slide
all svays,.laughing, you might al -
mast say, until the tears ran down
his face.
"floor Jojo met his end itt front
of a three -ton lorry. Ile had come
clown the drive with ole, stopped to
investigate something intriguing,
and then, suddenly fearful that Ile
had lost nae, he came galumphing
out into the road, just as a, loaded
three-tonner swung round the bend.
It broke Jojo's shoulder, He was
stunned, too, and he remained that
way, thank God, for as long as it
took my boy to run to the House
and return with a rifle."

The woman hesitater], 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

The clerk thought a moment, then
'reached among the cards "For the
