posai.It must have cost Turkey something to make this suggestion, but presumably she regards it as the lesser of two evils if her absolute sovereignty must be impaired.Although it is Greece at present that claims the Dodecanese and will be most upset by Russia\u2019s request that they be given her as Mediterranean bases\u2014she has lodged a complaint that her views have not been sought\u2014Turkey is again concerned.These islands geographically are Turkish, by population chiefly Greek, taken recently from Italy.Whoever holds them threatens Turkey's flank and the latter therefore would prefer to see a weaker power than Russia installed if she cannot have them for herself.From whatever settlement of these matters is effected we should obtain some idea of what change of thoughts has taken place in relation to strategic bases as a result of the atomic bomb.On the one hand the question is asked: Does it matter much who holds this point or that?On the other, \\s the assertion that seapower remains decisive and must be backed by land control of narrow waters still effective?In addition there is the question: To what extent is internationalization a solution?\u201cMORE ALIVE THAN EVER\u201d Buffalo Courier-Express An institution, said Ralph Waldo Emerson, is the lengthened shadow of one man.If that is correct, what can one say of ideals which are born and nurtured in one man\u2019s heart and through his own firm faith and conviction reach world-wide acceptance?Wendell Willkie has been dead only one year and yet it is more apparent than ever before that without even holding public office, he did more than any man in his party to foster the ideal of world co-operation among his fellow-Americans and, as a citizen of this country, stirred in the hearts of humanity throughout the world the hope of a new and a better day in which all peoples would enjoy blessings consonant with the dignity of man.It may be truly said of him that he had a special gift for implanting ideas and making them take root.In recent months, Americans have come to see the clarity of his vision; they realize that within a few years the very existence of civilization will be contingent upon the world co-operation than he did so much to foster.It was particularly fitting, therefore, that at this time, when the American people and humanity in general have come to a new appreciation of his insight, there should be formally dedicated a memorial in his honor, the Willkie Memorial Building of Freedom House, New York City.At the ceremony, Sumner Welles, former Undersecretary of State stressed the enduring qualities of Willkie\u2019s mission in these remarkable words: \u201cToday, just twelve months have passed since Wendell Willkie died.But surely we can speak of him as Thoreau once spoke of another American (John Brown) who gave bis life for the cause of freedom: 'I meet him at every turn.He is more alive than be ever was.* \"It is well that it should be so.For that vital spirit of Wendell Willkie has become inseparably identified with the ideals which the Am-I rrioan people must ever seek to j achieve if this nation of ours is to fulfill its rightful destiny.\u201d AIR TRAVEL IS HAMPERED Windsor Star Two forms of priorities continue to hamper the proper development of air travel m this country.One is imposed by the Government; the other is maintained by the airlines themselves.They both must be speedily discarded unless commercial aviation is to be unwarrantably delayed in coming to its appointed importance.People on Government business still get the preference in accommodation on airliners, and there is no justification for this.It was permissible in wartime, when security considerations had to be kept in mind.In normal times, it is intolerable.The United States is abolishing priorities of this kind, and we should ilo the same.As to the airlines themselves, they still give preference to favored pas-1 sengers.The reason is of course, I that the people travelling on business get the first call, and this has j a certain surface justice.It is a! principle, however, that cannot be | entirely condoned.The railways have their problems I of congestion, too, but they impose! M-iorities.First com*, first serv-j is the rule there.Q\u2014Will smoking help to keep you warm in cold weather?A\u2014-No, say Mayo Clinic researchers.Nicotine slows circulation so that the arms and legs become colder.*\t*\t* Q\u2014What Asiatic country\u2019s' capital has three names?A\u2014Korea's: Seoul to Americans, Kyongsong to Chinese, Keijo to Japanese.*\t*\t* Q\u2014Where did shoes originate?A\u2014Among the ancient Aegeans.Leather foot wrappings were worn by prehistoric man, however.*\t*\t* Q-\u2014What is\tthe\tsignificance of the town of Torgau?A\u2014It was near Torgau that U.S.and Russian troops first joined the eastern and western, fronts, for the little boy who built small jetties there, because the little boy will be older.The springboard, which has been taken down, will be restored, But it cannot furnish the same triumph it gave the little girl on her first dive from it, The light of morning and evening will shine again on the lake, as they did this summer, but the eyes which see them will have aged, THE OTHER SIDE London Free Press In the realm of research science, we have a warning as to the possibly serious effects of wholesale use of \u2018'DDT,\u2019\u2019 the new poisonous insecticide created to kill tropical insect life and being used widely now in Ontario.From Chicago, Dr.Clarence Cottam, chief cf the Division of Wild Life of the Interior Department of Fish and Wild Life Service, asserts: \u201cDDT is effective against most types of insects.It is highly effective against flies and mosquitos, But it will kill a lot of things we don\u2019t want killed.Our studies show that five pounds per acre in a forest will either kill birds or drive them out.More than one-half pound per acre is damaging to fish, turtles and frogs.DDT is effective against pollinating insects, essential in fruit production.It is highly effective against bees.\u201d Mrs.Style: \u201cI want a hat, but lit must be in the latest style.\u201d i Shopman: \u201cKindly take a chair, ! madam, and wait a few minutes.The fashion is just changing.\u201d MLss Vane: \u201cSome one told me today that I was the handsomest girl in the street.\u201d Miss Speitz: \u201cOh, that\u2019s not incurable!\u201d \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d \u201cYour habit of talking to yourself.\u201d A lady visiting Paderewski\u2019s villa in Paris noticed a cherry-stone on the mantel-piece, took possession of lit, and had it set in pearls and dialmonds as a memento of the pianist.| A few weeks later Paderewski I met the lady, and in the course of their conversation she showed him the cherry-stone with its elegant | and expensive setting.| \u201cBut, madam,\u201d protested Paderewski, stroking his magnificent mane of hair, \u201cI never eat cherries.jThe one you found on the mantelpiece must have been left there by my servant.\u201d \u201cAnd how high does your balloon go?\u201d asked the old lady.The sergeant scratched his head.\u2018\u201cFunny you should say that, ma\u2019am,\u201d he replied.\u201cI\u2019ve been wondering about it all day.You see, when we pulled it in this morning we looked up on top, and there, large as life, lay a blooming harp.\u201d She was anxious to learn the latest news about her neighbor\u2019s accident, and turning toward her husband, who was immersed in the evening paper, she said, \u201cHendy can you see anything in- the paper about Mr.Jones running over his mother-in-law?\u201d \u201cNot yet,\u201d replied Mr.Peck.\u201cI haven\u2019t come to the sporting news!\u201d ENOUGH OF IT Vancouver Sun The vast majority of Canadians want to be rid of all war-time controls as soon as possible! They are willing to put up with those that are necessary during the transition \u2014but only temporarily.The national registration card was imposed upon them for a specific wartime purpose.It must not be continued as a convenience to the police, the liquor controllers, or anybody else.Two men in a car went past the traffic lights when they were red, and were stopped by a policeman.\u201cI\u2019m sorry, officer.\u201d said the driver, thinking quickly.\u201cI happen to be a doctor and I\u2019m taking a patient to the asylum in a hurry.\u201d The policeman was suspicious\u2014 but the passenger was just as quick.Looking up at the constable with a seraphic smile, he whispered: \u201cKiss me, darling!\u201d They got away with itl Mr.Sharp arrived home from the i office looking hot and bothered.He | flopped into the nearest easy chair, ! wiping his brow.I \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, dear?\u201d queried ibis wife.\u201cIt\u2019s those darned gas-masks,\u201d he | snapped.\u201cThey get heavier and heavier each day,\u201d\t, \u201cThey do, darling,\u201d she sweetly agreed.\u201cBut this morning you went off with the electric iron box.\u201d McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority no BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY AS WINTER COMES Victoria Times And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled;
