Communist putsch splitting Berlin is interpreted here to mean Rus- sis does not intend to compromise its cold war against the west.

Oustinl the legally-elected city government from the Soviet sector and s “‘ up a puppet, t; “n. ist regime makes it immeasurably more dllffcult for the west to come t0 ugr ement with the Soviets over the Berlin blockade.

The west refuses to discuss the German problem as a whole as long as the Soviet blockade continues. Thus tihere can be no settlement over divided Genmany. Without a settlement on Germany there can be no political peace for the rest o: Europe.

Setting up s separate Commun- ist regime for Eastern Berlin mak- es it virtually impossible to put into affect any settlement over the so-

called currency question-tr any is reached in Paris by the United Nations.

Any currency agreement for the city would have to be under four- power ccni/rol. There are no four- pcwer bodies now functioning. The Soviets had withdrawn from them. Allernately‘ a four-power agree- ment reached ln Paris might be presented to a German administ- ration to administer to the citiy as a whole.

But there is no single administ- ration. There are two, the Soviets have set up their own.

The Russians could interpret and administer any Paris agreement as they say fit in the eastern sector.

Their separate Ccmmunlst ad- ministration could at the same time wreck any western attempts w ad- minister the currency agreement in the three western sectors cf the city.

To try to dissolve the two city governments arid set up one to aid- mlnister any Paris agreement brings up more fundamental quest- ions than raised thus far at Paris.

Either the west would have to repudiate all or part of the freely elected government in its sectors or the Russians would have to throw out all or part of their Commun- ists regime.

The likelihood of either happen- ing is one in a thousand.

Thus. while still negotiating at Paris, the Soviets in Berlin have made certain that any United Nat- ions agreement elther can be sabot- aged or twisted completely in their favor.

There is no indication that France, Britain and the United States would be willing to accept an agreement under such condit- ions

To Improve Taste 0f London Water

LONDON, Dec B -~ (C?) - lnndoners learned recently that the taste of their chlorinous-tast- ing water is to he improved.

The Metropolitan Water Board gave much space in its 1947-48 re"- port to explain it is often impos- sible to produce ‘satisfactory’ water free from objectionable taste. This. the board said, was because there is little time for the beneficial disinfectant action of the chlorine to be completed before the water is drawn by con- sumers. ' ,

But it ls promised preparations now are well advanced for "contact tanks" to be provided at filtration stations where chlorinated water will be held up for two hours and sterilized before being distributed

Britons Still Iiave Dreams of Land of Plenty

'-

By lonaid MacLurkin

LONDON. Dec. 8 - (Reuters)- Thres years after the end of the Second world War the dream of every Briton is still a land where people can buy as many eggs as they want, eat as much meat as they can hohi, and purchase ban- anas off any street fruit barrow. Food remains the most persistent topic of conversation in every Brit- isn hccne, and Britons see no pros- pect of rationing ending for years to come.

Since the end of the war they have grumbled more at the deadly dullness of their fare than at the meagre quantity of it. And. near the end of i948, the dullness is an even greyer shade than in 1945.. The points system. under which each person is allotted 24 points a month with which to buy tinned foods and delicacies. for some time saved the ration from unrelleved monotony. But now the government drive to save hard currency has cut down imports of tinned food- stuffs.

Former standbys such as tinned baked beans. steak-and-kidnei’ puddings and dried eggs are not easy to get. Almost all that can be obtained with points are cheeses. tinned soups and spaghetti.

The basic ration per person looks shockingly meagre when put on a plate.

This, with variations irl the tybt‘ of meat, goes to feed one person for a whole week: Two lamb chops. two rashes-s of bacon, one shell egg. four ounces of marzlllflt" three ounces of butter. one ounce cf cooking fat, one small slice of cheese. two ounces of tea. and half s pound of sugar.

Potatoes now are off the ration and vegetables are Dlflnmul though much more expensive than before the war. lfish is unratloned and abundant.

‘Most families spend their rations in one grand spree at week-ends. leaving the vest of the week to tare

care of itself.

Libel Action By An M. P.

LONDON. Dec if -— In the King's Bench Division on Thurs- day the jury retumed a verdict in favour of the defendants lh the action in which Mrs. Elizabeth Margaret Braddock, MP... of zig- zag Road, Liverpool. claimed dam- ages for alleged libel from Tillot- sons Newspapers.

Mrs. Braddock complained of the. following paragraph liefldt-‘d "R/evelry by Night“ in the ISSIIP of that newspaper of MM‘ l. i947: -

Associated Press News Analyst

Washington's tactics 'in the Chinese situation suggest that the United States Government has giv- en up hope in the Chlang Kai- Shek regime and is awaiting politi- cal developments in Nanking be- fore attempting any real effort to stop the Communists.

The assumption. apparently, is that Chiangs Inability to obtain the support of the Chinese people makes it impossible to use his gov- ernment as agent for any real counter-offensive, and that seme- thing is bound to happen Pb him soon. There is. on the other hand, not the slightest indication of any American move to speed Chang's downfall. The attitude seems to be one of disappointed resignation and watchful waiting.

Free Ilse 0f ' Tracer Atoms Offered Industry

BY ‘MOUGLAS HOW

OTTAWA. Dec 8 — tCPJ-‘hude Minister Howe today offered in. dlllifl’ a year's free u-se of radio- zsotopes or tracer atoms from the Chalk River atomic plant and lat- er said a second crowri- owned uranium fleld is moving near the production stage.

His offer was an effort to spur Canadian industry forward in use of what was described as “the first great contribution of atomic energy to peacetime purposes“ and the greatest research moi sine; the microscope was invented three centuries ago_

His (tenement about the uran- ium fleld was later described by a government atomic official as somewhat over-expansive at the moment. Mr. Howe told a re- porter he would rather not say where tho field is located, other than that it i-s not in the North-

Some 85 per cent of the ports business is exporting - to South] America, Newfoundland and Texas. The remainder" is importing mat- erials necessary for the various companies.

The large increase in storage and clock facilities has been niatlc necessary by unprecrdenwd peace- time activity in Arvida.

More than 336 ships passed through stevedores‘ hands here during the current season and the addition of the wharf will pro- bably mean that the amount of tonnage to be handled next year will increase.

In Port Alfred. there are few stores-only enough lor farmers and workers to obtain their week- ly supplies.

The town was established some years ago, but did not come into prominence until i920 when the] first wharf was built. Then in i937 ‘ a second wharf was constructed.

When the shipping season is, closed-from December to April-ii all exports are handled by rail and ‘ taken to the nearest open port for shipment.

Drug Injections By Pressure Jet

TBSOLI PC65- food to

LOTDON, Dec. 8 — lCPl —- A new method of injecting drugs by a high-pressure jet wiihoutsyringe or needle is described in the British Medical Journal. It. is based on the fact that an extremely line high-pressure jet of liquid can pierce the skin without pro- ducing pain.

Shaped like a large flashlight the injection instrument forces the liquid, under pressure varying from 2,300 to 3,500 pounds per square inch, through the skin. It is claim- ed that the jet injection “causes no pain and saves considerable lime."

If the skin is wet however. or is tilted, the lITjQCLLOIT produces a tut and sometimes a blister. It cannot be used for carefully- placed injections or for the in- jection of oily liquids.

"Perhaps the greatest drawback at present is the cost of the ap- paratus." the Journal says. "Jet injection is, however, the first basic change in Injection technique for nearly 100 years."
