The King ia reported to have said that Britain <hould give up Cyprus to Greece, in return for British or American military bases in Crete, "The island has a population of some 470000 who fall into two dis- tinct groups. The majority division consists of Greeks of the Orthodox Faith who are ardent patriots and nationalists, and who for 50 years have heen dreammg of union. with Greece, The smaller group consists of some 80 thousand Moslem Turks who look for support to the Turkish Republic. - In the present "Greek civil war a hich centare of the Cyptian people take the side of the Communist rebels, and oppose the monarchy and clerical influences of present-day Greece. These political leanings 'make them still more unfriendly toward Great Britain: afl just a few weeks ago new contingents of British troops were grected wit widespread strikes in the mining and other industries of the island, v Some 20 vears ago the British tried = been to give Cyprus some sort of self- administration. But in 1930-31 a re- volt hroke out which had to be sup- pressed. and all legislative power is now vested fin the British Governor: General. - "economically, - the Cypriotes have doing very well. The mining industry is prospering and thé situa- tion- of the consilerably as compared to what it was in the Turks' days. Today the British are carrying out medical, agricultural and educational develop. ments which profit all inhabitants of the island. ut Cyproe it experiencing a big wave of nation: sentiment. The mai rity of the Cypriote Greeks has declined to accept self-government from t' Dritish. as a substitute for being united with their Greek "fatherland," even though they. know they are farine far better a: they now. arc. In fact many Cypriotes openly state that they prefer the inefficient and frequently corrupt but personally congenial Greek official to the more efficient British administrator who, they feel, treats them as "natives." Cermany Much as they .desire such a session, the prospect of another meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers over the problem of Ger- many is not regarded very optimist-- ically in official circles of Britain, France or the United States. Since the end of the war every phase of this prob'e'n has been discussed again and again without arriving at any real basis for agreement. The whole thing hinges on what is to be done with Berlin The con- flict of ideas between .Russia and ourselves centres on the' determin- ation of the Western 'Allies to stay in the German Capital, and Russian desires to get them out. But at the same time, the Russians say that they refuse to even consider the Berlin situation apart from the posi- tion of the whole of Germany. Pacificists of the Henry Wallace type claim that there is plenty. of soom for compromise--aid intimate that one side is as bad as the other. But it should not be forgotten that the present conflict arises solely because the Soviet Union never even attempted to make the Pots- dam agreement work. The Western Alligs took the measures they have farmers has improved taken only after years of fruitless 'effortg to get the Russians to re- spect their obligations and allow a solution of the German problem, Right now no permanent solution seems possible unless either the Soviet Union gets exactly what It wants, or changes its present policy; and no one who claims any real authority on Russian affairs and the Kremlin's way of thinking believes it 'possible that the Soviet Union will alter its long-time policy, al- though it might make a temporary pretence of doing so. As many bitter experiences in the past have clearly shown, calling a conference does not necessarily mean getting something done; in fact relationships between the four chief powers have been sometimes worsened by such "get-togethers." Great Britain There was really important news from the Old Country recently, although it wasn't the sort that got many big newspaper headlines. On August 15th plum and apple jam was finally taken off the rationed list; and only those who recall the first years of World War One, and especially those who floundered through the mud of France and Flanders on a diet of that delicacy combined with bully beef, can realize that "plum-and-apple" is more than just something that comes in tins--its' an Institution, more or less sacred. When the German submarine blockade came within a hairsbreadth of starving Britain Into submission more than 80 years ago, the food manufacturers turned almost every- thing that could be swallowed into a food product. The principal in- gredient--the "filler"--in jams was ground-up turnips, mangels, and the like, mixed with unspecified color- ings and flavorings. But whatever went with it, always it came out plum-and-apple. ' Vaudeville artists told jokes about plum-and-apple; songs were written on the subject; and if there had been radlo in those days no doubt it would have been the theme for at least 'a thousand "humorous" pro- grams. Some of the names the soldiers called it can only be repeat- ed in unmixed company. But in spite of everything it continued to flourish although, after peace was declared, In a considerably revised form and the mangels and turnips were replaced by other ingredients. (Right here I would like to insert a strictly personal note. I happen to be closely related, by marriage, to a lady who, as a child, went through those years of World War One. in the heart of London, and who still has vivid memories of the "quality" of that wartime jam. Here in Canada she does a great deal of can- 'ning. and preserving of such things as strawberries, raspberries, peaches and all the rest. But one_of her prime standbys Is--you guessed, it --plum and apple jam. The kids and I are fond of it too--although the' are used may make quite a differ- ence.) 3 Anyway, although such preserves as black currant, raspberry and marmalade still require coupons in Britain--in fact the amount allowed has been cut from a pound to a half- pound per month--good old plum- and-apple isn't rationed any more. It's a real step in the right direction and might prove a bigger boost to United Kingdom morale than most of us suspect--bigger than all the news that comes out of Berlin or Moscow in a month.

Due to Park regulations, the cadets could not leave their vehicle because of possible attacks by the animals, Perhaps the most unusual happen- ing at the Olympic Games was something which failed to happen --which may sound, at that, as if we are growing a trifle "punchy" our old age, and commencing to in- dulge in double-talk, after the man- ner of boxers who have stopped too many with their chins. » * * Nor was the non-happening refer- red to the refreshing lack of petty squabbles and two-for-a-nickel con- troversies which have marred such events in the past--in fact, even if tify didn't amass many points, the British certainly showed the rest of the world how successful Olympics can be, when the emphasis is put on "sport" rather 'than "spectacle". a . * But for the first time since the Olympic Games were revived--at Athens in 1906--thcre was no male athlete good enough to cop even two track events, which should give a pretty good idea of how keen competition is these days, and of how a man must, be right at his also favored by a smile from Poy Luck, in order to get down in front. In fact, it's getting to the point where--if we are to have many more track and field records broken-<they'll have to use watches . that split seconds into hundredths rather than tenths, * x = "But with the ladies, it was entire- different. Mrs, Fanny Blankers- oen'of the Netherlands won three races on her own, also ran the anchor lap of the relay to bring victory to the Dutch team. Her four--count them four--gold medals are just double the number won by Babe Didrickson Zaharias at ggles back in 1932; and some of us who have been three-cheering "the Babe" as the greatest all- rounder who ever lived are begin- ning to wonder if we didn't open our big mouths too soon. In all "I probability some smart promoter will be trying to smoke up an ath. Tetic contest between the two ladies; but while it might draw like a por- ous plaster it would hardly be-fair, as Babe would be spotting her rival five years in age and hag been de- voting most of her attention to golf for the last two or thee. Mrs. Bloviksra Koon is thirty years old and the mother of two children--and while we know noth- ing about the latter, and haven't 'even seen pictures of them, there's one matter we wouldn't mind lay- ing liberal odds on in their connec- tion.

But when you think of comparative wealth, popu- lation, climate and other factors, in our opinfon the performance of weden--with seventeen firsts--was ar more outstanding, in fact the most remarkable thing about. the entire affair, «2 "As for Canada's showing--well, perhaps the best thing to db would be to draw a merciful veil of silence . and say nothing about that part of it at all. However, few of us ex- pected very much, and so didn't receive any great nervous shock; and all the officials, at least, had a nice surimer outing at a very little pereae-leent'~y, and should have many i =~ trlas to entertain friends with' <~-'ng the long, cold competition.

Then we'll begin to see some action! * * * Which may be all very well for those who take charge of such matters, and who make those trips. But as for the rest of us Canadians --who stand by and suffer, more or less, in silence, we're in something the same position as that of the beaten boxer, who was sitting dis- consolate in the dressing room after his most recent fight.

McArce, expressed doubt that one Canadian out of ten could fill in the letters following C C F. "There is little in either the' abbreviation or the full title of the party -- the Co-operative Common wealth Tederation--to suggest that it is really the Socialist Party of Canada, no less, no more," he went on to say. "It corresponds precisely with the party which now supports the Dritish Government. "But recently a statement of its ends ought to ctarify any former vagueness and misunderstanding, The - clarification may bring strength to it from some quarters and weaken it in others, The state- ment announces the intention of the CCF, when it attains power, to. nationalize the banks, the trans- portation system, the manufacture of farm implements and other es- sential services. : "This is socialism. It is the same program that is being put into ef- fect by the British Labor Party, which is really the British Socialist Party. If you like it, and the pros: pect of further nationalizing as-time ~ goes on, you will like the CCF. On the other hand you may be. re- lieved to learn that not a word is said about nationalizing Canadian women." Commenting onthe above a well known Canadian said, "Mr. McAree might have said 'if' it attains power rather than 'when.' After all the voters still have some power-- wheh they bother to use it." Just For Fun He was a lawyer who special- ized in accident cases and, walk- ing along Yonge Street one day, he happened to notice a lady who had been knocked down by a passing car. After helping her to her feet Me said: "Here's my card, lady. I'll get you plenty of damages." "Don't be a fool," she replied as she dusted herself off. -"I don't need any more damages. What I need is repairs." i USS CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED FOR BALE - rr e------ mp OILS, GREASES, TIRES, (nsecticides, Electric Fence Controllers.
