"=Tirnis double game obviously has a single aim--to disrupt the North --Atlantic Treaty Organization. Yet it also appears that the Kremlin is satisfied with weakening the United States, but wants to make sure that its own economic posi- tion is strengthened in the process. Russia and Eastern Europe have a surplus of some of the materials needed by the West, such as coal, timber and grain. INC PROMISED At consultative meeting of western and eastern experts, held under the auspices of the Eco- nomic Commission for Europe last August, 'the Soviet delegates, as wéll as those of Eastern Europe, surprised the western representa- tives by stating that exports of grain, coal, and other basic com- modities could be increased sub- stantially. * The extent of this increase, they added, would depend on the nature and quantity of the counter-de- liveries the West could offer. «Ofie reason for this proposal to. East-West trade in Europe 'is tern Europe's need of west- machinery to speed up its own "Maustrialization. However, the Communist delegates are well aware that this move goes straight policy which aims at denying the Soviet on potentially strategic com- modities from western sources. POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS The political implications of the Soviet proposal were stressed by cent rumors, according to which ow is planning to call in a Eliropean economic conference to which" delegates of all European nations would be invited, Althuogh it is unlikely that Western European leaders would allow Moscow to drive a wedge between them and the United States, it has become increasingly clear that the rigid restrictions on East-West trade restrictions imposed by recent United States Congress resolutions, are not only unpopular in Europe but actually contribute to its present difficul- ties. ' It also has been recognized by American experts in Europe that the economic boycott against the Soviet Union and its satellites .is a two-edged weapon. - Discussing the case of Italy which, apart from the Secandi- navian nations, is the only Eu- ropean country that has increased its trade with the East in recent months, former Economic Co- operation Administrator Paul G. Hoffman pointed out that the Soviet-Italian Trade Pact of 1950 wAs highly beneficial to both part- ners. d EXCHANGE CITED Jor delivering 60 locomotives to the Soviet mining industry, Italy received 200,000 tons of iron ore, and steel ingots, and 100,000 tons of oil vitally important not only for Italy's economic recovery but also for its national defence. Since the end of World War II, trade between Western and East- ern Europe has Gover been mare than a. fraction of the prewar ex- changes. Western imports from the eastern part of the continent dropped from $3,170,000,000 in 1938 to $899,000,000 in 1950, while western exports to the Soviet bloc decreased from $1,137,000,000 to $712,000,000 in the same period. This decline in East-West trade contrasts with the rise in the total trade of both Western and Eastern the eastern trade in the West's total commercial exchanges de- clined from the 1938 level of 9 per cent for imports and 5 per cent for exports to only 3 per cent in 1950. IMPORTANT MARKET Yet the eastern countries con- tinue to be an important market for some western industries, such as the machine industry. Great Britain, West Germany, and Sweden sold generators and gen- erating sets to the Soviet Union, textile machinery and mining equipment to Poland, and machine tools and electric apparatus to Hungary. On the other side of the pic- ture, Russian timber shipments played an important role in the execution of Britain's housing ALDERMAN CLIFFORD HARMAN Representative of All the People For - ALDERMAN 1952 VOTE = RE-ELECT POWERS FOR ALDERMAN The city of Oshawa for 1952 needs a councll with experi- ence, my record is as follows: ® Three years on Health, R European countries, The share of, Grim Evidence of Red Atrocities In Korea re Coincidental with the exciting rumors of the halting of the ground war in Korea, this dramatic photo, which gives mute evidence of Communist atrocities in Korea, was received by a woman in Inglewood, Calif, taken by her son, Cpl.

Near East The island of Cyprus is again on Mediterranean sentry duty as British reinforcements are in- creased in the Near East. The island's sentinel role has been well rehearsed. It has been a crossroad of ,warring armies and an outpost of empires for 3,500 years, This strategic crown colony of Great Britain, 140 miles long and approximately the size of Puerto Rico, lies only 230 miles north of Port Said, northern gateway to the Suez Canal. Cyprus reaches to within 65 miles of Syria and 45 miles of the Turkist coast. « The majority of the 450,000 Cypriots today are descendants of early Greek colonists. Turks, Syrians, Arnienians, and English compose the minority. This legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, has been ruled by the Greeks, Assyrians, Phoenicians, and Per- sians, It was given by Anthony to Cleopatra, was visited by Paul and Barnabas, and was seized by Richard Coeur de Lion to avenge an insult. Cpyrus, ruled by the Turks for about three centuries, has been occupied by the British for the past 73 years. The storied island is mentioned in the Bible and in the Iliad and the Odyssey. In the midst of modern military activity, fabulous castles and ancient citadels which may have inspired the setting for tales from Shakespeare's "Othel- lo" to Disney's "Snow White" still dominate the scene. In Bible times olive groves and vineyards flourished. Today ex- ports include oranges, lemons, raisins, grain, cattle, and potatoes. Silk and cotton contribute to the natural wealth. A wool industry is in the making. Ancient Cyprus produced much of the copper that made the Bronze Age possible. Copper mining has been revived, and chromium ore, asbestos, and gyp- sum are important minerals to- day. Need for charcoal for cop- per smelters caused destruction of the once fine forests, but the island still grows many beautiful cedar trees. In the stores of Nicosa, the capital, goods from many coun- tries are now sold alongside the aromatic herbs of the East. New gates have been cut in the ancient wall to cope with modern traf- fic, ranging from donkeys to automobiles. Bastions that once kept out the enemy now serve as playgrounds. Famagusta, on the east coast, has Cyprus' best harbor, The island served as an important British air base during World War I. Airliners now fly regu- lar schedules between Nicosa and continental cities.

MAKE Your First CHOICE EAGLE X FOR ALDERMAN | Blood Of | Business | BY JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Is it possible to concede that a man can be both profit-conscious and a sincere believer in the Christian concept of life? Time and again we hear this questiop. Time and again we are asked, as a re- cent questioner asked: 'Do you be- lieve that the profit motive system can be Chr: d?"' This is the answer that we gave. We believe that, to most business- men, profits represent something quite different from what they rep- resent fo their detractors. They represent not the jingle of money or the accession of power. Per- haps it comes nearer to being the recognition of achievement--the ribbon to wear on the coat. We believe--and the dollar-a-year-men have already proved us right-- that it would not be difficult to find a multitude of men who would work as cheerfully and de- votedly, if they never saw a dollar in profits--just if that accomplish- ment was there and paying off in some sort of coin, But no men--not even top excc- utives--are completely free. They are bound by the conditions and traditions of the operation in which they are engaged. They must live-- and their business with them--as life is lived, growing and enlarging or slowly disintegrating and dying out into a bloodless corpse. For, 1| however you may confuse or de- base the word, profit is growth and life. It is the blood of business and, as the bedy drained of blood musi surely die, so must the busi- ness that makes no profit. Suppose you were the employer of 1,000 men and were: suddenly taken with the idea of operating without a profit--just for the love of the job. It might be very stim- ulating for you. But what of the others? What of the 1,000 men? What would happen to their jobs as machines grew older and more antiquated, and plants deteriorat- ed? What of their dependents? And what of the public who have come to accept the integrity of your product, and must see it de- teriorate as the plant tha produces it deteriorates? What of the other public who have lent their savings in confidence that they will be use- fully and profitably employed? You must break faith with them, of course. And they are innocent par- ties. They are also you and me. For through our banks or insur- ance com; or welfare organ- izations we have our share, If people would siop thinking of profits as a sort of business blas- phemy, and think of what they are --the blood of business--the great force that has made all our pro- gress possible, we might come to realize that they are already just as Christian as we who share them, ANCIENT BUILDERS The first bridge across 'the Thames at London, England, is be Yeyed Jo have been constructed in .D. 43.
