V t . , of Iran oil is not to the liking NATIONALIZING of Britain which enjoys a control that is full of uncertainties and anxieties. It is worth remembering that in 1921 a treaty between Iran and immediately adjacent Soviet Russia provided that, in any intervention in Iranian affairs by a third power, Russia could legally bring in Soviet forces. The oil of Iran is six per cent of world production and, while this is important to Britain, it could be of even more concern to Moscow. It could be that the crisis in Iran might become more momentous than Korea with even graver possibilities. Rocks More Than Cradle of the best stories of political conventions SOME aren't writ ten at the time. That was the case at a recent rally of Ontario Conservatives in London. With George Drew, Premier Leslie Frost and a fair ration of cabinet ministers on hand, reporters were kept on the double chronicling events that took place at the men's sessions. Had they slipped into the womehVgathering they might have walked away with a scoop. Seems that the women, sensible folk that they are, wanted to do something about the proposed turnover fax. They didn't like the idea of an amendment to the British North America Act which would permit the provinces to levy a three per cent tax on the gross turnover of retail goods. From their angle living costs are already higli enough. The provinces have no right to add new burdens to the bills we pay. The lady Pro-Cons introduced the subject at their London meeting knowing as they did that Premier Frost was already on record as being willing to support the amendment if the other provinces agreed to do likewise. Small wonder that there was an air of embarrassment in the room when a resolution was introduced opposing the tax Mr. Frost had promised to uphold. Embarrassing because Mrs. Frost was in the room at the time. What happened? Well . . . when arms were raised to vote against the turnover, Mrs. Frost's arm was among 'em. Later, when husband Les spoke to the girls he gave in. After a chat with the good wife, no doubt, he was willing to make this statement: "The turnover tax is dead." It's a statement the premier hasn't made publicly so farr-utjthe women delegates to the convention got the scoop. That famous "hand" rocks a good bit more than the cradle. Overdone Modesty IN A RECENT column, Dewitt Mackenzie, of the I Associated Press, wrote: "Every once in a while I get out my map of North America and study it with fascination. There is U.S., which enjoys a large measure of world leadership, She is rich and powerful. "Then to the north is the sister nation, even greater territorially than the U.S. Canadian resources already disclosed are tremendous, and we know that there are other vast treasures to be uncovered. "In due course Canada may have a population as big as, or bigger than ours. Maybe the leadership will pass to her who knows?" These reflections, coming from an American news analyst, cause no raised eyebrows. Had the author been a Canadian . . . but, well, everybody knows Canadians don't talk that way. Canadians have always been quicker to achieve than to recognize Canadian achievements. A modest matter-of-factness about our resources and resourcefulness is one of our national characteristics. But modesty, like any other virtue, can be overdone, especially when it is combined with a lack of imagination. It would probably be a good thing if a few more Canadians could find the same fascination as Mr. Mackenzie in poring over a map of North America.
