Recognition of Israel The recent gold subsidy will not mean much to most of the mines and is only given to those established mines which have been pro- ducing. The necessity of finding and establishing a buffer indus- try in this community is ever before us. To establish such an in- (lustry requires an immense amount of planning and quite an out- lay of work and money The reasons for not remgnizing Israel are hard to find. Israel was lormetl alter the British witl'idrew from the mandate which it had set up. Canada’s reasons for witholding recognition are more obscure, it possible, than those of the pritish. Canada voted on the side of partition. which was voting in a sense for the Jewish state. Then when the issue comes up that they vote for accepâ€" tance of the Jewish state the Canadian delegates plead that they don’t wish to take sides in an Arab--Jewish quarrel. The British attitude would be less difficult to understand if there was much to gain by keeping in with the Arabs. In a war with Russia the Arab army would probably fold its tents after one good puSh by the Red Army. Too, on the matter of the Arabian oil the British could with a small show of force convert the Arabs to their way of. thinking. The new Jewish State of Israel recognized for over a month by the United Nations and the Soviet Union is still not recognized as a state by mzmy countries; of the world including Britain and Can- ada. But Britain has been bound to take the way out which it has tak- en with India and other countries, as J. D. Smuts said the other day at the Hollinger when interviewed by the Porcupine Advance, “It may be democratic but it isn’t logical.” Lawrence of Arabia warned the British years ago that the Arab Chieftain Abdulla was a crafty fellow and couldn‘t be trusted in word or deed. Yet the British have sought to curry favor with Abdulla and have abandoned Dr. Weizman and his fellow workers in Israe‘y' to their fate. Britain could easily recall Glubb Pasha and other British offi- cers traning the Arab forces but they have not done so. Instead they have sent munitions and planes to the Arabs in order that they might harass and kill the children of Israel. haven,and Perhaps if have been with Russi The tremendous contribution which the Jewish race has given to the world should not be forgotten. Great Britain has had many Jews in high office, Benajmin Disraeli was prime minister and a very good one, and other Jews have served with distinction in all branches of the services. Canada should not delay in recognizing the new state of Israel and should be the first to influence the other countries which still stand on the sidelines. Canada’s position is not clear out enough. The peope of Isâ€" rael have suffered so greatly in the last twenty years that out of sheer respect for their claim to the country of their illustrious ancestors and their contribution of treasure and men in the late war they should be granted their hope of two thousand years. Israel is not seeking to overrun the Arab territory and all of the near East. This small corner they have chosen is merely to be a haven, and a spot which the sons of Israel may call their very own. Perhaps if the delegates were as tough with the Russians as they have been with the Jews they wouldn't be so worried about war By taking thing which I the slackenir lack of in'tere are looking I tlon field is some money to be a good paper I none; ing it an am between the t agcr m‘ss courta six in .

During this time of emer- gency â€"â€" men need not be idle! A bumper hay and grain. crop throughout the province has been placed in a position of tremendous importance owing to the fact that due to adverse weather conditions in the Prairies, seeding operations were re- tarded. greatly increasing the risk of Fall frost. Added to this serious situation western crops are now being attacked by grasshoppers and in some cases drought. During previous years we have. had the co-Operation of western farmers who have come to assist in the Ont- ario Harvest. usually obtaining in the neighbourhood of 2500 men.

Anyway. it's very seldom that the Secretary of Labor has the opportunity of saying everything he wants and getting a by-line besides. so here goes. The story I want to call to your attention has to do with industrial acci- dents. Millions of people in this country don‘t have to worry about getting their hand out of a punch press in time to prevent it from being crushed. or dropping a casting on their foot. or slipping in a puddle of machine oil. Mayne they never get near punch presses. or casting. or puddles of oil on a factory floor. so the problem of industrial accidents seems remote. Actually it isn't hceause. even if they are never injured. they help foo: the biil for other peoples‘ accidents. And even those workers to whom an accident means personal suffering. disrupted lives for themselves and their families. and even loss of life. some- time fail to take safety seriously enough. They often think that safety advice, regulations and training are for the other fellow and not for them. But. the fault isn‘t always theirs. Seventy per cent of the recorded accidents take place in small plants not having safety programs. and even in a plant with a safety program the worker often is not to blame. 7 It's not an easy thing to dramatize and bring home to people. because they very seldom realize the serious effects of an accident unless they see one or it happens to them, and then it's too late. The facts about industrial accidents are startling enough. but the problem is to get the story across to the American peOple. You can help. because you know how to dramatize a story and make it seem real and personal to the peo- ple who read your column. minutes? lru‘ u-v . ‘-â€"--- I wonder how many newspaper readers realize that one American worker is injured on the job every 16 seconds throughout the 24 hours of every day and the 365 days of the year'.’ And that one worker is killed on the job every four Last» year. work accidents injured 2.000.000 workers. killed 17.000 and disabled 91.000. Those who were injured suffered wage losses in excess of 1‘4: billion dollars over and above benefits which they received under workmen‘s cmnpcnsation. Combined loss to labor and industry was 33:: billion dollars. Even those persons whose lives and home were not directly touched by] H.030. accidents helped pay the bill because of this unnecessary drain on our productive manpower which is responsible for our national wealth and secur- ity, . . The amount of money lost in wages during 1947 by injured, crippled and killed workers is enough to feed. clothe and shelter :1 city as large as Detroi‘ for one whole year. The 44.700.000 man-days lost, through accidents could have produced more than 2.000.000.000 pounds of soap. 89,000,000 shirts or 50,000,000 pairs of shoes. Thus the cumulative effect of accidents â€"â€" disrupted lives, suffering. lost wages, direct and indirect losses: to industry. lost production --â€" goes beyond labor and industry. It is a social and economic loss for which all of us mum} sooner or later my a price. While many private and governmental agencies are working in the field of industrial accident preevntion and producing some success. President Tru‘ man believes that "a concentrated and co-ordinated effort" by everyone con- cerned can result in a practical. nationwide program for reducing accidents. He asked the Dept. of Labor to call a national conference for this purpose and plans: have advanced to the point where I can tell you that the President’s National Industrial Safety Conference will be held in Washington Sept. 21-23.
