Zurich Herald, 1950-03-02, Page 3P,, What Goes On In The World By Norman Blair Holland "The youth and set 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 whish were not dimmed ivith tears." That is how a contemporary news- paper described the accession to the throne of The Netherlands of Young Queen Willlelnlina on Sep- tember 7th 1898, And there were tears in the eyes of many who lis- tened to the 68 -year-old Monarch when, early this Month, she an- nounced her intention of giving up frl, the throne immediately after her i., golden ?ubilee celebration this Sep teulber, Ill her radio speech Queen Willidillilia spoke of the "utter tiredness" and "the burden of ad-' vancing years" which had decided her to take this step, She will flirn e, , r C yB j. o e Wilhelmina the throne over to her daughter, Crown Princess Juliana who, as sne 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 bad times and good, including two World Wars and , colonial war which left x 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 few=er 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 — 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-' en ces, "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 time!" Ali(] 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 enol even Mr. Bevin himself seemed affected; and one recalled the story of the peer who once dreamed lie was speaking in the House of T orris, and woke up to find ho ' 1 a',astine When the L'llion Jack canis down from Government Mouse oil "The Hill of Evil Council" at Sunset of Friday May 14th, it marked the termination of Britain's 31 -year rtile 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 k'alestine during World War One, The League of Nations mandate to Britain of- ficially carne into force some silt years later, fit 1923. Lieutenant General MacMillan, commander of the British Forces In the Holy Land, issued special orders for martial law in territory dee.mcd vital for the -withdrawal of troops from Palestine, this territory including parts of Jerusalem through quotas. Recently a Russian trade union paper quoted the Food Indus- tries Minister who had been telling to what extent the cigarette ludus- try had met its planned prodliction And although that industry was 44 _per cent over quota oil the higher - priced grades of "smokes" only t2 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 from 6 to 9 rubles per pack, while more expensive grades run front 10 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 intentio' 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 to 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 signs of 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. Nogg 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 Amerf- caus 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 dumber 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 witl. headquarters in 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 fo be overlooking it thing that will increase their pres- tige in German eyes, and lower that of Britain, France and the United States. United States Ill 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 1•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 France 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 Prance that no official note was given to Moiotov by U. S. Ambas- sador Walter Bedell Smith, and that thereneN er 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. Ilowever, for a while it looked as if it might develop into a rather nasty situation; and no doubt sonle 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 decidely no gable for all amateur; and as one Washington onlooker phrased it, "The whole tiling reminds me of a beginner sitting down to a 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 oil as many as ten which trey would have to pass. ahead."
