TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE .S. Returns Silver, Art Worth $25,000,000 To Hungary Democracies Must Give Leadership To Iranian People "The time is short and tinent and the leadership T. Cuyler Young, M.A., Th. much depends on this con- we give", commented Dr. B., Professor of Oriental Languages, Victoria College, Toronto, in an address on "Iran's Current Problems" at the luncheon meeting of Flying Club Lays Plans For Big | Show Oshawa's second Annual Air Show--September 6, this year -- will be a convincing demonstra- tion of the safety, speed, economy and pleasure of flying light ari- craft according to the Ontario County Flying Club Air Show Committee. Last year's Show at the Oshawa Municipal Airport was a success in every way despite bad weather, Last year's success has spurred the Flying Club, p 8s of the Air Show, to put the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday. Dr. Young emphasized tha' there is only a temporary lull in Iran at present which should provide the democratic powers with the oppor- tunity to organize the political and economic affairs of the country so as to give the people there new hi and new life to pursue the which they cherish. Complicated Problems "The political and economic prob- lems are complicated and terrifying to say the least. The west must pro- vide leadership with modern vision not that of a century ago. I believe there rests upon the peoples of North America an obligation to move in and so exploit the re- sources of this country at the same time giving its people a fair share of the resources which are theirs. There must be the proper responsi- bility and substantial restraint so that we will take only the profits we need to pay us for our work. This would result in the standard of living being raised and in the people of Iran being convinced they are partners with the rest of the world in building a solid structure of peace. "If we employ far sightedness in the building of a real democracy, the people will get a higher stand- ard of living and education 'and there will be a new significance and meaning to their lives. If we do not do these things the peace will be lost. Much depends upon our solv- our own problems. If we can help solve Iran's problems for her we will prevent the country falling into chaos and allowing Russia to return and shake the tree and reap the fruits". Prefacing his address Dr. Young said that for over a century Iran has been a buffer state between Russia on the one hand and Britain and India on the other. The coun- try probably was only saved from dismemberment by World War I from which it emerged in a chaotic condition. Prior to World War II Iran was anti Russian and was on the way toward modernization. However, in 1941 Iran was again forced to the side of Britain and Russia with Russia occupying the north and Britain the south, with Russia promising to withdraw six months after the cessation of hos- tilities or the signing of the peace. An important factor in the coun- try's history was that some 30,000 United States troops moved lend- lease material from the Persian Gulf to Russia through the country during the last war. During this operative toward the Americans. At the same time Russia Interferred little in local affairs. Americans Well Received "There have been and are at present civil and military advisory missions in Iran, which have and are doing a fair job and are wel- comed by the Iranians. By and large, Iran has received the im- pression of tremendous industry, know-how and wealth; while the tide of youth has been turned to- ward the United States when seek- ing education.' "Two years ago", Dr. Young con- tinued," the great powers at the Teheran Conference guaranteed Iran not only independence but ter- ritorial integrity and economic aid. Oil really is what determines what takes place in foreign chancellries. Tran has over 100 billion barrels of oil. "It is an explosive area. Iran is a collection of states made up of a proud people who are not always stable, If peace breaks down here it may well break down all over the world", Dr. Young said that in the north, after World War II, Russia had demanded rights over all provinces bordering on Russia. The parlia- ment was uawilling to grant .this concession as it feared the terms which might be imposed at a later date. At the same time it passed a law forbidding all discussions con- cerning oil. Setting out to win her own ends, Russia sought to influence the elec- tion with the leftist party, led by some 12 or 15 men, taking the lead. Knowing what Russia was about, the Iran paliament ruled there would be no election until Russian forces were withdrawn. It was then that Russia decided to put on the pressure by bringing on a revolu- tion in one of the northern prov- "In the week I visited' the area, Jap Democracy Before the order changed, city offi- cials in Japan were appointed by the government and the people over whom they lorded it had to take them and like them. Under the new order of democracy, such offi- cials are elected in the democratic way. So now candidates have to go out and stump if they want votes. Here is one in an outdoor appear- ance appealing for support for his candidacy. during which I made contacts at night and in secret, I am convinced there were legitimate reasons for social unrest and complaint regard- ing the government. They had been bled in the past by absentee land- lords, but the vast majority of the people were against the.leaders of the revolution. Another attempt was made by Russia in the south but the coup did not come off as British troops moved in. Dr. Young expressed the opinion that the British Govern- ment is now following a policy of non-intervention. It was explained that Russia had overplayed her hand in Iran with the result that the premier had cast in his hand with the Shah. When troops were sent into the northern provinces to supervise the elections, the Soviets saw the game was up and fled over the border. '""The problem is still there. It is only a temporary respite now. Rus- sia has been bested in Iran. The next step will be in Turkey and Greece", Dr. Young said. The speaker was introduced by G. D. Conant, K.C., while the appre- ciation of the club was voiced by Maurice Hart. Sex Crime Laws Said Antiquated 'Toronto, April 22--(CP) -- In a a for a reformation of laws con- trolling the sentencing of sex crime criminals and for a special institu- tion for treatment of offenders of such crimes Chief Justice J. C. Mc- Ruer delivered a special written out- line of his reasons for sentencing 17-year-old Harry Johnston to two years in reformatory on a convic- tion of attempted rape. The youth | 8T2 had attacked a 13-year-old girl. "I am convinced that a prison or a reformatory for the purpose of treatment of normal persons is no place for a convicted person such as the one I have heen required to sen- tence in this case," Mr. McRuer said. Reports of the psychiatrists and probation officer indicated that the boy had a defective moral sense, was below average intelligence, but his mental defect was not such that he would keep him from being a useful citizen, THE ARCADE DRY GOODS 454 SIMCOE ST. 8.

Report Maple Syrup Quality As Medium According to the Marketing Report of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, the flow of maple sap during the week end ing April 15 was the best of the season in the Lakeshore District of Eastern Ontario. Offerings on markets in the eastern section of the district were liberal and prices declined considerably. Top prices were $5 but most prices were at $4 and $4.50 per gallon for maple syrup. The quality was reported as mostly medium, The demand continues strong for apples with light supplies mo- ving rapidly. The remaining sup- plies are mostly in the hands of dealers with only a few growers now having any, A liberal volume of potatoes is reported with the movement re- ported as brisk, Prices have firm- ed and advanced slightly. There are liberal offerings of turnips and cabbage but other vegetables are in light supply. . Tomato plant growers .made their first sowing during the week, A few packers have let out some pea seed and if there is favorable weather .some sowing on high ground may be done, Failure to Cure Not Negligence Court's Ruling Toronto, April 22. (CP)--Hold- ing that a doctor's failure to achieve a cure did not necessarily constitute negligence, Mr, Justice A. M. Lebel, of the Ontario Su- preme Court dismissed a suit brought against two St. Thomas area doctors by a patient who charged malpractice. Frank Veros of the St. Thomas district, who suffered an arm in- jury while felling a tree, claimed negligence on the part of Dr. Frank Brent of West Lorne and Dr. D. 8. Carrie of St, Thomas, in not tak- ing X-ray photographs of the in- jured arm. Mr, Justice Lebel sald in his Judgment that a doctor did not un- dertake to effect a cure. It followed that the fact a cure was not achieved did not necessarily indi- cate negligence, he said.

To estimate what proportion of the population has a leaning to- ward union with the United States would be a matter of guesswork but the national convention gave a fair idea when it recently rejected, by a vote of 34 to 3, a motion to send a delegation to Washington to as- certain under what conditions Newfoundland might reach federal union with the U.S, The convention, made up of de- legates representing the old elec- toral districts, is deciding on the political future of the colony which has been governed by a mixed Bri- tish - Newfoundland commission since its Bankruptcy in 1934. Newfoundland's opinion was summed up by Reuben Vardy of Trinity North when he said that, although the colony had at times disagreed with Britain over matters of policy, "no one thought we could contemplate leaving the Empire and least of all when she is facing such difficulties." Little Possibility Is Seen Of Newfoundland Cutting Ties With Commonwealth About the only other source available whereby opinion on fed- eral union can be guaged is the let- ters to the editor columns in the newspapers. From among the hundreds of writers many have fav- ored a return to self-government, and some union with 'Canada, but no more than a dozen have ey- pressed a desire to become United States Citizens through federal nion, The chief reason for this is not difficult to find. The people of Newfoundland are almost entirely of British stock and their devotion to what is symbolized by the Crown and the British flag is both a tra- dition and a sentiment that is real. What desire exists for federal union springs from the increased employment enjoyed during the war years when the island bases were taken over by the Americans. At the same time there is some resent- ment over terms under which the United States obtained 99-year leases on the three bases at Argen- tina, Stephenville and Fort Pepper- ell Some of this resentment has been expressed against Britain by those who argued that Britain negotiat- ed the bases-for-destroyers deal without consulting Newfoundland. No Shame In Farming -- Kennedy Guelph, April 22--(CP) -- Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, provincial Minister of Agriculture, said in an address last night to the Junior Farmers' conference at Ontario Agricultural - College that '"no man today needs to be ashamed to say that he is a farmer." "You have reason to feel proud of what the farmers have done in Ontario in the last seven or eight years in the production of food to feed the hungry and starving people of Europe. Stressing the key position of ba- con exports in Ontario's agricultural economy, Mr, Kennedy described a hog-feeding and disease-control program which will safeguard the industry throughout the province. The Minister also announced the projected opening of the North York boys' and girls' camp on the east shore of Lake Simcoe, Sept. 1-6, to provide a holiday at nominal cost for Junior Farmer and Junir Farm Girls leaders. The camp will accom- modate about 100 young people--ap- proximately one. boy and one girl from each county, and district in Ontario. May Soon See Chicken Styled 'A la Drew' Toronto, April 22 -- (CP) -- If someday you read on a restaurant menu "Chicken a la Drew," you probably will be seeing a tribute to an idea by the Ontario premier. At the third annual convention of the Canadian Restaurant Association here Premier Drew asked why res- taurant patrons couldn't have dish- es with Canadian names. It was Charles Bruno of Hamil- ton who suggested something like "Chicken a la Drew" instead of "Chicken Eugenie." Southern fried chicken was also discussed and M. C. Mario of Wind- sor, asked why it shouldn't be call- e® Southern Ontario fried chicken since the birds were grown there and pressing was made from Essex county onions, District Deputy Presents Great Grandson To IOF Court Oshawa No, 501, Canadian Order of Feresters held its regular monthly meeting with Brother Charles Ferguson, C.R., presiding.

In an address prepared for deliv- ery to the 60th anniversary gather ing of Unity Lodge of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen here, Premier Drew cited opposition to cadet training in Ontario schools as an example of what he meant. He said that within recent weeks he had received a letter signed Jointly by the president of the To- ronto Civil Liberties League, the se- cretary of the League for Reconcil- iation, and two individuals, urging discontinuance of cadet training. Later he received a letter from the Women's League for Peace and Freedom, also opposing cadet train- ing. "The interesting thing," he said, "is that all these communications come from the same address. They are all part of one organized pro- gram. Now let me make it clear as English words can make it clear, that I am not suggesting that those whose names appear on these com- munications are members of the Communist party." Assailant Didn't Know Victim Had 'Contact Lenses' Toronto, April 22 -- (CP)-- Leo Perreault said in magistrate's court today he didn't know Donald Ion- son was wearing contact lenses-- a type of spectacle which fits snug- ly over the eyeball and is practical- ¥ invisible--when he hit Ionson in the face at a skating rink. The court orcered Perreault to pay Ionson $35 to replace the lens broken by the blow. Labor Conference News to Big-wigs Ottawa, April 22 (CP).--Possi- bility of a joint conference between Canada's two labor governing bodies --the Canadian Congress of Labor and the Trades and Labor Congress --was news to the leaders of the two organirations here last night. The suggestion had been made in Toronto by Silby Barrett, Canadian director of the United Mine Work- ers (CCL). A. R. Mosher, president of tlie C.C.L., said, however, his organiza- tion "surely would favor such a meeting to map a greater degree of co-operation." Percy Bengough, T.L.C. president, said he thought Mr. Silby was "just seeking public- ity," and added that "if we wanted such a meeting, we wouldn't need his help." ANNOUNCE ROTARY APPOINTMENTS At yesterday's luncheon of thc Oshawa Rotary Club President- Elect J. N. Willson announced that the newly-elected Board of Direct- ors of the club has made the fol- lowing appointments: Vice-Presi- dent, John G. Geikie; Treasurer, Robert Argo; Secretary, S. T.

Good will Gesture Hungary Threats Frankfurt, April 22 (AP).--The United States ship- ped $25,000,000 worth of Nazi-hoarded Hungarian silver and art objects back to Budapest today in a new gesture Ong hundred and twenty tons of silver--needed by sound basis--and 370 priceless cul- tural pieces were returned to the former enemy country under an agreement between the United States Department and a Hungarian economic mission. The precious cargo was en route to Hungary's capital city aboard a heavily armed United States army train which reached Vienna this morning after passing in almost total military secrecy across Ger- many and Austria. It is scheduled to reach Budapest tonight or to- MOITow. The silyer is the property of the Hungarian National Bank. Valued by army appraisers at $4,000,000, it is the last of the monetary assets of Hungary removed to Germany from Budapest vaults as the Ger- mans fell back in southeastern Europe before Russia's advancing armies, The cultural objects -- priceless paintings, jewelry and porcelain -- and valued by Hungarian experts at $21,000,000. Placing greater political value on the silver, diplomatic quarters in Germany said the bullion would help keep Hungary's economy on the stable basis established last year after the wildest inflation in modern history. This inflation ended when the United States returned $35,000,000 worth of gold to Budapest. U.S. Senate Votes Today On Greece Washington, April 22 (AP) --With a rare certainty of approval, the United States Senate votes this afternoon on President Truman's plan to give Greece and Turkey $400,000,000 in financial and mili- tary -aid to keep them from col- lapsing into the arms of Commun- ism The new venture in foreign policy approached its first Congressional showdown amid indications that it would receive far less emphatic backing than the last major deci- sion in that fleld--the Senate's 89 to 2 ratification of the United Na- tions Charter July 28, 1945. A score, more or less, of dissent- ers apparently stood steady to cast their votes against the first seg- ment of the developing program of aiding "free peoples." They have predicted variously that it will bring eventual war with Russia, bankrupt the American policy and destroy the United Nations. Responsibility Of the Individual Urged by M.L.A. At a breakfast, following a cor- porate Communion service Sunday morning, close to 50 members of Christ Church Men's Club heard T. K. Creighton, K.C.,, M.L.A., discuss the responsibility of the individual in a strife-torn world. The Com- munion service was. conducted by the rector, Rev. H. D. Cleverdon. A few simple remedies on the individual level could be a powerf! force in a world which was burd- ened with ponderous international problems, Mr. Creighton said. Con- sciousness of individual responsibil- ity was a basic factor since the moral attitude of the individual was at the roots of world trends. Mr. Creighton urged the re- application of "old remedies" such as self-denial and hard work. There should be some appreciation of the permanent values in life 'and an acceptance of their continuity. E. A. Johnson introduced Mr. Creighton and Leslie Eveniss pro- posed a vote of thanks. Frank Brown, president of the club, acted as chairman at the breakfast meet- ing. !
