Pers sia Nobody will dispute the Persian government's decision to submit its case to U.N.O. That the Persian ., government should have chosen to make use of that right now is the Persian government's affair. It is a decision taken on the Persian government's exclusive responsibility. However, the United Kingdom government, in common with the .U.S. and Russian governments, had hoped that a solution of Persia's difficulties might be found by more direct means. It was with that end in view that the United Kingdom and U.S. Foreign Ministers in Moscow put forward the idea of a three-power commission to advise the Persian government concerning the solution of iFa'difficulties. The reason why no decision was -reached on this suggestion in Moscow is that the three powers wished to obtain the Persian government's assent to the plan. The basis of the proposal that an Anglo-Russian-American Commission should be appointed to assist the Persian government to restore normal condir ' tions in Persia has led to recognition of the fact that the presence of foreign troops in Persia has led to certain of the difficulties with which the Persian government was faced and therefore it behooved the three powers which had maintained troops in Persia to help Persia to restore normality. The functions of the proposed commission were firstly to make recommendations with a view to accelerating the withdrawal of foreign troops, secondly to put, forward suggestions, concerning ' the establishment of provincial councils -in different Persian provinces. . Britain and Refugees ' Two important statements have been made by the United Kingdom Government which show Britain's anxiety to do as much as she can within her own country to help those wh6 have suffered in concentration camps in Europe. The first was the announcement ', that Britain will admit immediately those survivors of the Nazi camps ; who have close relatives in Britain able and willing to look after them, "and also other distressed persons ; who have been in hiding from the i Gestapo or for various reasons are ' especially in need of care." The 'other statement refers to naturalization. During the war naturalization was suspended, and the refugees who had settled "in Britain were anxious about their future. Naturalization is now to be resumed, and priority is to be given to aliens who have served in the forces, or in science,'findustry and commerce. Britain is a very crowded country with a population of 500 per -.square mile, compared with 44 per -square miles in the United States. Yet during, the war, Britain has ?3hoVh h'er desire to help, whatever the cost. No refugee who reached c" Britain, even without a visa, was turned back. And in addition to the stream of refugees who came in the usual way, there were many others who entered under various British schemes organized to meet special circumstances. j There are many illustrations of, sympathy and help which have, been characteristic of Great Britain', ever since the Nazis came to power, i Estimates published in 1943 showed that the assistance in money or kind, given by private organizations and the individuals in Britain to refugees from German Europe, amounted to 9,500,000 ($38,000,000). In addition, the government helped, not only by giving every facility to the voluntary bodies, but also by providing funds in aid. Intolerance In Canada , Now that we have succeeded in beating down one of the greatest examples of race intolerance in history the Nazi system it is interesting to see that here and there in Canada something is being done to eradicate the same type of thing, says Hamilton Spectator. Recently Mr. Justice J. Keillor Mckay, of the Supreme Court of Ontario, rendered null and void a clause in a deed which stipulated that a certain parcel of land was "not to be sold to Jews or persons of objectionable nationality." The judge said in his ruling that he could find, no precise precedents for his decision, but made it on the grounds that such a stipulation was against the broad principles of British Justice. Then more recently in Toronto, the City Board of Control paused in its business to hear the story of a Negro resident. He said that his, son had been refused admission to an ice rink in the city on the grounds of his color. The Negro then apologized for taking up the time of Council, and was told by Mayor Robert Saunders that "I don't know that we have any work more importantjthan trying to overcome things like'this."-rHe! . i ji i ii u it i ' promised mat me mauer wouio e investigated. Two isolated cases do not make up a trend, but at least it shows that there are persons in authority who are willing to sponsor the principle of tolerance. We have had enough of segregation, of narrow prejudice and discrimination. It works like a slow poison on the minds of men, and the terrifying success of Nazi propaganda should be enough to show how easy it is to make it grow and fester. Newspaper Audience Constant The newspaper audience is not only the largest of all audiences it is also a constant audience. There is practically no seasonal variation in the circulation of weekday newspapers. The number of people who buy and read newspapers remains pretty much the same month after month throughout the year. Just as many people read newspapers in July and August as in February and March . . . because the news is important to everybody every day. , With newspapers the advertiser can reach virtually'the same number ot people during any month of the year. For the advertiser who has a year-round selling job to do or a message to deliver the newspaper is the most practical and economical medium available. WOMAN LOGGER IS NO SLOUCH SUGAR HILL Tenn., W They call Mabel Perry, a champion log-cutter, better even, than her husband Eugene, who's no slouch. Full-time loggers, they contract to cut trees in a section, find a nearby roof to shelter them, work the timber for a year or two and then move on. Once Mabel got a job in a factory but, she said, "the work was too hard." When asked what she and her husband did for recreation she replied: "Nothing much. Sometimes we have a race to see which one can get a tree down first, Most times I win." LETTERBOX LOCAL FIRE SITUATION Editor, Daily News, An announcement by the CBC news last night of four more deaths by fire in an Ontario town was followed by a statement by a Toronto official that, across the Dominion since last October, 85 people had lost their lives by fire. This is an unreasonably high loss of human life and calls for some serious reflection on the part of all responsible people. Few if any of these deaths were caused by what the Jurors would term "an act of God." All others died from causes brought on by ignorance, neglect or Just, straight carelessness., I know that by farHhe greatest fire hazard In our city li that caused by the Indiscriminate use of electrical appliances in homes, and ap'artments.
