The Paris Round -Up
On December lith the third re-
gular session of the United Nations
General .Assembly came to an end.
t the beginning of the Fall, 82
days before, delegates of 58 nations
bad gathered in the Palais de Chai1-
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
xecord 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
laaneh as though the tvhole affair—
it benefited anybody at all — did
good only to Paris hotelkeepers,
aonvenirseflers, and entertainment
merchants. With the Russians
"no-ing" every proposal made by
the Western allies— and vice versa
—hopes for a final world settlement
somehow seem even more remote
than they did the day when peace
was declared — and we all looked
forward to "no mare war",
Great Britain
There is not much comfort in
looking into a future," wrote Win-
ston 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 andtheir associates are on
Hie other."
The letter, which the former
;British .Prime Minister read to an
attentive House of Parliament on
:pec. 10th was written to Stalin on
Riding "Hof Shot"—Clarence
Piton, sensational 17 -year-old
apprentice jockey, has been
:fairly "burning tip the tracks"
lately and will finish his first
Tiding season with a .mark of
dose to 250 winning tndunts,
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.
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 with it
would be shamed before history,
Even embarking on a long period
of suspicidn, 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 wged
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 thein all conte to a
point 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,
Palestine
On his return from a quick trip
to Palestine the acting 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, •
A11 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 Ear -
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 itt defiance
of the Security Council's orders. Elt
gave warning that any Israeli at-
tack on that territory knight "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 alight spread to
world wide proportions,
Nor is everything peace and quiet
among the Arabs themselves, Icing
Abdullah. of Transjordania has de'
glared that his Government consid-
ers all of Palestine as its "security
zor.." Other Arab leaders feel that
Abdullah's head is getting a little
too big for his fez, anti threaten to
take steps aimed at redn,cing the
swelling.
The day hasn't arrived yet, but
we imagine it's coming—the 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 more 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 come
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.
*- t .
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"oE 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-
ciable extent—but some of our
"friends" who do a bit of ticket
scalping
the t
ns'
P g on de eIIthat
# us
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.
* a, *
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.
* +8 *
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 hour—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 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,
* 8 *
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,
* 8 *
Then, we think, the tide will turn.
Possibly the center• red Iine will be
eliminated, and trickery, smooth
skating and stick -handling will
conte back to their own. Itis quite
noticeable that when Max I3entley
—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 0 roar—and some of kite'
younger generation look at. one 011 -
other i11 amazement, as if 'saying,
1r\tmell,, what do you know about
Shat— where did the guy ever learn
tot act. that way?"
8 Ik N
All of, which should be "enough
regarding hockey - of 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—the
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.
Grosse's Pet Elephant
Most people like to keep
a
Pet
but
usu 11
a some o m
e 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.
Jojo only lived for two years but
bythat '
ttmehewaslarger
than
W86
h n as
manageable. "He seemed to be all
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 meat -times,
stroking and blowing llioistly, first
one neck, and then the other, as'he
blarneyed us in turn, for a hand-
out. He was forbidden to touch
anything on the table, but when he
thought he had us lulled into a
mood of warm sentiment,' he would
stick out his little trunk, and, with
the uttermost tip, gently stroke the
grapes or bananas, id the centre
dish. If I glanced' at him when
thus engaged, I would find him posi-
tively squinting, in his efforts to
watch bothof us at once.
"The time came when he touched
each side of the door as he entered,
and thereafter, his entrance became
,more and more difficult. He was all
right for height, but his shoulders
and his bulging little tummy •be-
came apprectably wider than the
doorway. The time came, of course,
when all the 'breathing -in' in the
world didn't help hint. 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 mud-
slide for him, down the bank. One
would go down, and find hint play-
ing all by himself, but he did like an
audience, and he was lavish in his
encores. He would try that slide
all ways, laughing, you might al-
most say, until the tears ran .down
his face. •
"Poor Jojo meet his end in front
of a three -ton lorry. He had conte
down the drive withale, stopped to
investigate - something intriguing,
and then, suddenly fearful that he
had lost nle,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 standing beside me what

"I'm afraid you haven't anything

"Isladam," said the ,clerk, "we

What kind clo 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 carr:
expressing my regret."
The clerk thought a moment, then
reached among the cards "For the
Sick" and handed her one. It read:.
"Sorry to hear you're a shut-in.
Hope you get out soon!"
