Protocols of the Tehran conference just published also spotlight Turkey, revealing Anglo- Russian- American agree- ment in 1943 that Turkey's entrance into the war agamst Germany was then "desirable." Also disclosed was the three-power agree- ment that the Montreux convention giving control of the Dar- danelles to Turkey was outmoded and should be revised. SPOTS OF SPORTS By FRANK MANN HARRIS ^^ ("A Sixbit Critic") = .â- \fter one of the current Stanley Cup playdown aiiairi. a Toronto paper revived the ancient gag about there having been two entirely different games the previous even- ing â€" the one that took place on the ice, and the one that went out over the air. .\nd while it is rather hard to judge these things, unless you liave a split personalitj- and leave half of it at home, or carry one of these portable radio gadgets so tliat j'ou can both listen and watcli. it would seem highly probable that those w!;o take their hockey by ear are getting far more thrills out of these playoffs than those who actually see them in person. * * « Which is just another way of saying that the hockey hardest to gen tickets for is, as a rule, the hardest to watch. Vou have to stick in your own thrills and ex- citement whereas, taken via the ether route, the announcers do it for you. This is by no means a criticism of these microphone- maestros, whose first duty to their sponsors is to keep listeners from switching dials and tuning-in some good hot program of chamber- music: but it is a rather funny ex- perience to come home after a drapgy affair like, for instance, the opening game of the Toronto- Detroit series, and hear the folks say, "Gee. that must have been a honey of a game." * « * Of course it is by no means a new tiling for playoff hockey â€" judged solely on its merits as a game, and tossing the gold and glory involved out the window â€" to be somewhat tame. Any time you get two rival teams playing them close to their chests, and taking no unnecessary chances, the higlt- lights are liable to be few and far between. But it is even more noticeable nowadays when they play what is frankly admitted to be cntcrtainmcnt-hockcy â€" featuring speed, speed and still more speed â€" for the first six months or so of the regular season. When they suddenly try to change over to the real thing, the boys don't know how to play it, nor do the fans know how to appreciate. Perhaps it's just as well that the foot-shuff- lings, ironic hand-clappings and cries for ".\ction"' don't come over the microphone. « * * In amateur hockey circles we can't help noticing a growing re- sentment in smaller Ontario cent- ers at having to act more or less as stooges and sparring-partners for the 'big siiots'. Wc talked recently with a man who has long been a real friend to amateur hockey, and who confessed that he is getting more than a little fed-up. "A bunch of us have backed a local junior team for years." he said. "We do it because we like to watch hockey, and to give the kids of the neighbor- hood a chance to sItow what they can do. .\nd of course there's always the dream of developing a championship outfit, like in the days when Barrie, Stratford and other smaller places would come through on top." * * * Just how widespread this feeling is, or what could be done to correct such a situation, we are not prepar- ed to say. But we do know that the centering of so much of the hockey spotlight, of recent years, on just one place â€" Toronto â€" hasn't been a bit of help to the game in the Province at large. In all tlie excitement over the Grand National Sweepstakes, we have been wondering just how many of the thousands who breath- lessly waited to find out whether or not they 'drew a horse' might have spared themselves a lot of suspense and loss of sleep. Or, to put it more briefly, what percent- age of those carefully-cherished tickets were the real thing? ,A.fter talking with a gentleman who should be in a fair position to know, we have come to the conclusion tliat a great many of us have been dreaming of winning a life of ease by means of chunks of paper that never were closer to Ireland than, let us say, the citv of Montreal. For, according to our informant, the business of peddhng phoney Irish Sweep tickets is once again in full swing â€" and a nice, cosey racket it is because, as you are doing something illegal in buying one, you liave no possible come- back. "Unless you get your ticket direct from Ireland â€" and know and trust the man you get it from,'' we were told. "It's better than even money that the one you had was a fake, printed right here in Can- ada." So, having been warned, we're going to be extra careful from now on. .\nybody know where we could grab a ticket for the Dcrl)y Sweep? Crisis in Britain h International It is evident that Britain's finan- cial position is so insecure that it cannot b« resolved without sub- stantial outside financial assistance comments the Montreal Gazette. For the sake of the world economy Britain cannot be permitted to bankrupt itself. Only self-interest is involved for liritain's creditors. But it is quite certain that both Canada and the United States must make further handsome loans to bolster the pound and restore the British economic organization. Britain is now in the position acidly described by analogy by the late Lord Keynes who pointed out tliat when a man owed his bank $1,000 he was at its mercy; when he owed it $1 million, the bank was at his mercy. The collapse of the pound would so disorganize international trade and international finance that the cataciysm might well reduce the world to the barter system. It is a prospect that cannot be viewed with equanimity. It would be par- ticularly appalling for Canada, whose economy is based on export trade. Britain, sentiment aside, must be revived. It can only restore itself through superlative individual effort supported by foreign finance. Only the U.S. and Canada have the capi- tal to prevent world catastrophe. Together they must help to save Britain not in altruism but in self- defense. Lightning â€" "greased" or other- wise â€" is really fast. Its speed is 10,- 000 miies per second.
