The 'mood of those talking loosely about "another war." Such talk is not merely ignorant and irrespon- sible; it is desperately harmful, There is no prospect -- certainly no immediate prospect -- of ano- ther war. Britain doesn't want war. The United States doesn't want war. In informed circles there is no belief that Russia wants war. Russia's rulers are not fools. Hard-headed realists, they know that Russia is not strong enough, militarily or economically, to defy or dominate the world; that they are not in a position to ignore world opinion. War is not made by soldiers alone. Modern war calls for vast sources of materials, forsplant, for inventions, for mighty quanti- ties of equipment. Russia's rulers know that her defeat of Hitler's in- vasion was made possible only by the mountains of supplies and muni- tions which British and American resources placed in her hands. Thus while Russia may make de- mands, and put on pressures, and indulge in international chess-play- ing -- a game at which her states- men are masters -- no sign exists that they plan war, or want war, or will force war. Aggression Doesn't Pay This does not mean the world must appease Russia; it means only that the world must get across to Russia that aggression doesn't pay. No reason exists to doubt that Russia will be compelled to see this truth; that she will yield to the hard pressure of world facts. Russian leaders have scen something these past four ycars of the combined might of the British Commonwealth and the United States; witnessed the crashing refutation of Hitler's belief that the democracies were "decadent" and would not and could not fight. They are not likely to make Germany's mistake. Meanwhile, therefore, and while the United Nations Organization is getting under way, let there be an end to this loose talk of "another war." There is no justification for it. We doubt if there is an informed, responsible statesman in the world who believes in such talk, or who doesn't deplore it. , And, God knows with reason. War talk, fatalism about war, breeds war -- and war there must not be. Not unless the world wants suicide. Nailed Himself Quarter Million William H._ Wilkerson wanted to build a machine that would make its own nails and then- drive them. Research experts told him it couldn't be done. So he set up his own research shop--and proceeded 'to make the machine. One version of the device nails soles on shoes and another drives nails in wood. A roll of wire is mounted on top of the machine. In one swift stroke, a nail is cut and formed from the wire and driven into the wood or leather. Nails can be driven at any desired speed up to three a secdnd. If the pedal is held down, the machine drives a continuous stream of neals, opera- ting in much the same manner as a sewing machine, Ais invention should result in cheaper furniture, since it knocks a costly link out of the production line. It performs automatically all the tiring, time-wasting jobs that were previously done by a man with'a hammer. WHICH?

THE BABY BRIDEGROOM i --PITTODRIE UPRIGHT Five hundred dollars wouldn't buy a hair on the tail of Pittodrie Upright, a shorthorn bull which has arrived in Saint John, N.B.,, Known to Scotsmen as the "baby bridegroom," Pittodrie Upright cost his owner, Ralph Smith, Missouri rancher and lumber king, nearly $70,000, and the total bill will probably amount to $100,000 before he takes up residence at the Sni-a-Bar ranch. Insurance alone cost about $5,000. To justify his owner's huge investment, young Upright is expected to produce 50 to 70 calves a year, and his breeding life is expected to last about six or seven years. Down in Missouri he will hob-nob with pedigree short- horns of aristocratic breeding from Scottish herds.. Owner Smith hopes that he will promote U.S. commercial cattle of the finest quality in the rich Missouri valley land. Meanwhile, Upright hopes "that his reputation as "the best shorthorn bull in all Scotland" will carry some weight in the U.S. SPOTS OF SPORTS By FRANK MANN HARRIS lies still have quite a long way to go before they catch on to proper sports etiquette, and learn the cor- rect method. of dealing with cert- ain sporting situations that crop up from time to time. Ior here we have a Soviet soccer team that. travels to England, the very cradle of the game, and comes up with a mark of two wins, two ties, and no losses against top-ranking Old Country clubs -- truly a very "smart record and one probably never equalled. So what do the Russians do? They go back home and put the blast on the English, accusing them of a cold recep- tion, rough play, poor sportsman- ship and :* out seven other things, none of them complimentary, * x x Now a Canadian, or a British, or a United States team, travelling to foreign climes, would never be guilty of anything like that. No indeed! Athletes from those countries, with their much lohger tradition of sportsmanship behind them, would have saved those kinds of squawks to use as an alibi after some trip on which they got - the living tar beat out of them. * * * However, the whole thing is just one more chunk of evidence -- if any were needed--as to the immense value of - international sport competition in promoting brotherhood, amity and good-fel- lowship : mong the peoples of thes world. So come on with thos Olympic games! We can't hardly wait, * * * All things considered, perhaps it is just as well that those rickety old Hamilton Tigers knocked off Montreal Royals in three straight and are not liable to be displaying their wares in these parts for a while. Down at Maple Leaf Gardens last Satrday you could see fans wandering around with that dazed, 'How long has this been. going on?' expression on their pans; and it wouldn't take many more samples of the real hockey the Tigers play to make a lot of folks suddenly wake up and holler, "Hey, what is this stuff they've been feeding us these past few on . years? * . * To us the most interesting fea- ture of any sport is watching the antics of those who follow it--and for that purpose the noble pastime of horse-racing tops them all by many lengths, For The Sport of Kings seems to have something that brings out any latent streak of nuttiness in a fuller degree than anything else. ) * * * There was the man we knew, for instance, whose first action on entering the paddock at Woodbinz was always to go and solemnly rub his knuckles on the bark of a certain tree, He claimed that do- ing so brought him luck; and ;may- be it did, although we recall that he was generally broke around the fifth race every day, even as you and we, eos ("A Six Bit Critic") oq Seems as though our Russian al- ~}- 0-0 Then there was the lady who re- ligiously attended the races every day and never once, in all the years we knew her, watched a single race -- probably never -cven set eves on a horse. No matter whether it was a King's Plate or a $700 claiming race, she would be down under the stand, in an alley- way leading to the mutuels, with her eyes shut, clutching tightly in her fist the ticket on the horse she had wagered on, pulling for it to come down in front. " * * * Watching her, you'd swear that she was suffering the tortures of the da unblessed. She had plenty of 1ioney, and winning or losing her bets didn't make any real difference to her. Yet there she was, day after day, track after track--in fact, the only way you could have kept her away would be by main force. * « * And--although he is by no means in the class of the nuts we have mentioned -- we once knew a man who, while he took an in- tense interest in the start of cvery race, didn't give a hoot about how they finished. * * * It was at Thorncliffe one after- noon that Marshall Cassidy--then the official' starter on Iastern Canadian tracks--invited us to go over and watch him start a race over at the six furlong post. It fvas the fifth or sikth race of the day; and on our way across the infield we happened to mention something about the result of a previous race. To our amazement Cassidy didn't know what horse had won that race--or any of the others, His business was to get them away to a good start, After 'that -- well, he wasn't greatly in- terested. What Is A Subsidy And Who Pays It? Just as a national debt is some- thing we owe ourselves, so is a sub- sidy a tax that we all pay, says the Hamilton Spectator. It is often very much the concern of the poli- ticians that the public should just forget that fact, but when they start falling over themselves in adjust. ments, then if is time to take note. Now that the subsidy has been taken off milk, it makes no differ- ence to the producer, but the con- sumer pays the difference. Who was paying the difference before? "Government," of course; but our old friend "Government," using the taxpayers' viz,, the consumers' mo- ney to pay it. The joyful thing about it for "Government" is that anything that is not immediately visible: doesn't seem to bother peo- ple so much -- until they suddenly wonder what's going on about their taxes and the cost of living. The average amount of electricity in a lightninig flash is far less than the amount that can be charged into a storage battery. | C | 1 [ 1 [| in Forum IT'S TRUE THAT ... to meet the urgency of the world wheat situation, most coun- tries wtili substantial surpluses of wheat for export have applied, or are in the process of applying, various programs and controls de- signed to increase the total sup- plies moving into export chaunels, Canada's contribution continues at a steady pace to the tune of 35 nul- lion bushels per month, with the United Kingdom holding a num- ber 1 priority. * AN . . --..penicillin has cured approxi- mately six out of every seven cows suffering from mastitis, or infla- mation of the udder.

Fisher of the Ottawa Citizen was elected president of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper as- sociation at the annual meeting in Toronto. First vice-president is H. G.

Railway Renamed Ontario Northland -- Changing the name of the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Rail- way to that of the Ontario Northland is designed to avoid confusion with another line in the United States with identical initials, says the Windsor Star. The new title, however, is to be welcomed for other reasons. The old name scemed to have a local, restrictive flavor. It bore the impression of an unimportant little spur line. As the Ontario Northland the road will carry, in its title, a sense of the broad ex- panses of the province. The words have a romantic ring, they display imagination that will be attractive to visitors. They are, in every way, better. UNO Incorrect It's Just U.N. Now You may be accustomed to see- ing the United Nations Organiza- tion abbreviated to UNO--Dbut you can say farewell to the term right in this sentence. The United Na- tions has ruled that no stich abbre- viation correctly exists. The final "O" is out, for although the United Nations is an organization, the word "organization" does not pro- perly appear in its title. From now on, at the request of United Nations ofticials, the ab- breviation will be U.N. Pronounce it as you sce fit, but don't mistake it for the negative prefix.

A. 4100 Oath Scientists Hail Great Discovery The denaturation of plutonium and of uranium-235, announced in Washington last week, is the great discovery that scientists have been hoping for to make it possible to produce atomic power. 'This discovery may mean that a picce of metal the size of a water- melon will produce as much heat as hundreds of tous of the uran- itm now used to make atomic fires, The huge atomic piles in Wash- ington state, cach about the bulk of a small pyramid, produced cnonglt heat nearly to equal the peak electric power expected from the Grand Coulee dam. But this atomic heat was uscless for power hecatge it was spread over such a large areca. Heat that makes power, such as boiler fires, is concentrated in a small areca. [It was not possible, when the war ended, to use a small amount of uranium-235 or of plutonium to make an atomic fire because such concentrated pieces of cither. metal would instantly ez- plode. Denaturing is described as plode, but without stripping their rendering the metals unable to ex- ability to produce heat by the ex- plosion of their atoms.
