THE GAZETTE, MONTREAL, MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1948. 21 MOVEMENT SHAPES FOR EASTERN UNION Security System in Mediterranean Would Parallel New Western Bloc TRIBUTE IS MID TO JOS; IMERGNE Judge T. A. Fontaine Lauds Memory of Newsman, Political Writer Political Ambitions of Zionism Unite All Arabs in Common Fight By DANIEL DE LUCE (In the Middle East Arab nations have banded together to oppose creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. Daniel De Luce, veteran roving reporter for the Associated Press, tells of Arab polity in the following dispatch and explains the Middle East's position in vie world picture.) creation of an organization similar to the Western bloc's.

Turkey desires to establish close ties between all Eastern Mediterranean countries conscious of Communist expansion, but it is stressed in political circles that creation of such a Mediterranean union would face certain obstacles. The Arab press lately has implied rather clearly that some quarters of the Arab League were opposed to entry of the League into a wider union. Some Arab countries still strongly distrust Britain, and it is feared that this would reflect on Turkey through her close relations with Britain. The question of the Southern Turkish Province of Hatay (Alex-andretta) to which Syria lays claim is another irritant. On the other hand, the chanse in the United States attitude toward the Palestine problem is considered a factor in easing Turkey's role in creation of such a union.

Russia Is Feared Goal For U.S. Oil Piping New York, March 28. (IV) A spokesman for a congressional subcommittee said Saturday that 43 carloads of oil well piping is awaiting shipment to South American and Asiatic ports where it is believed at least part of it will be re-shipped to the Soviet Union. The spokesman. E.

R. Ferguson, assistant counsel to the subcommittee of the House of Representatives committee on public works, said his report was "conjecture." but added it was based on the opinions of "people who have a good inside knowledge" of the shipments. Oil well piping la vh'ually unobtainable in the United States. Ferguson said, and the shortage is delaying the development of new American oil fields. command an estimated 15,000 Arab volunteers on Palestine soil.

Syrian and Egyptian regular troops are close to the frontier. The British-trained Trans-Jordan Arab Legion of 10,000 is hinted as likely to play a big role in the Palestine showdown. Britain's announced determination to surrender her Palestine mandate May 15 and get all her troops out by Aug. 1 has Arab approval. It is one of the few British actions to be generally liked in the Middle East.

But Britain's hopes of a new system of economic-military understandings with the Arab powers still are far from fulfillment. Cairo is at odds with London over British influence in the Sudan and British garrisons in the Suez Canal zone. Iraq tore up a new alliance treaty last January. Trans-Jordan is criticized by other members of the Arab League for signing a 20-year defence pact with Britain this month. Britain once sponsored formation of the Arab League.

Now the league mobilizes Arab resistance against what it describes as British imperialism. But in general Britain is off the hot spot of Arab opinion the United States is on it. Arabs attribute the recent hedging of the United States on partition to these major reasons: 1. Realization that the Arab powers are rendy to resort to arms against a Jewish state. 2.

Strategy against Russia that requires a friendly, politically stable Middle East where Soviet Expansion is checked and United Stales air fleets can expect to find bnses if needed. 3. The Arab threat to wipe out American concessions to the world's largest known oil reserves indicated to exceed 100,000,000,000 barrels.

ZAITLIN Barriittr and Solicitor HI ST. JAMrS STREET WEST Telephone: II Arbour S4KS Cairo, March 28. (P) The fear of a Jewish nation grips Arabs of the Middle East. It is the kind of fear that breeds war. seven Aran powers with a com bined population of nearly consider their No.

1 enemy to be a potential state of less than 750.000 Jews. The Arab phobia against Zionism Is at the highest pitch in" the history of this troubled region. It is a violent emotion you encounter among kings in their palaces and barefooted fellahs (peasants) in their mud huts. The Arabs claim only one way is open to make peace in Palestine abandonment of the attempt to restore a Jewish state after a lapse of 2,000 years. During the last month I have visited all of the Arab countries now actively intervening in the noiy jana witn volunteers, arms and money.

They are Egypt, Syria. Lebanon, Iraq, Trans Jordan and and Saudi Arabia. Old leuds, rival ries and jealousies hamper their unity. Yemen, seventh member of the Arab league, is having internal strife as the result of the death of the old king nd is unable to do much about Palestine. Against the political ambition of Zionism, however, all the Arab states are able to offer a solid front despite their ancient rivalries.

To analyze the Arab attitude today is perhaps a problem for psychiatrists as well as etatenrnen. But it is obviously rooted in anxiety that a Jewish state, no matter how tiny at the start, might finally dominate the economy and politics of the Middle East. The Arnb Intend at any cost to keep the Middle Eust for their own. They dread what a powerful influx of Jewish wealth and brains might creaie at the strategic crossroads of the continents. At the same time the Arabs profess to draw a line between being anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish.

They point to communities of more than 200,000 Jews in Arab states which have been virtually unmolested during the recent turbulent months. For Palestine Jewry, the calmest Arabs say, extraordinary minority rights might be guaranteed but the Holy Land must go undivided as a sovereign democracy with the Arab of 65 per cent intact. The very word partition is classed as a profane epithet. Arab extremists threaten to restrict Palestinian citizenship to some 50,000 Jews who were in the country before 1914 and their offspring. In Arab terminology Jewish immigrants are invaders.

Arab reaction to United States policy since November has run the gamut from hurt surprise to bitter resentment. At present. United States diplomats admit, it is one of deep suspicion. American pressure was blamed for the United Nations Assembly's vote in favor of partition. The Middle East called the recent Am erican shift to trusteeship an Arab victory, Dut second guessers quicK-ly charged it was a manoeuvre to save partition for a later date when the so-called cold war with Russia is less heated.

This is the official Arab line: Britain nurtured the Zionist experiment after the First World War as part of a scheme to divide and rule the Middle East but it would have collapsed before the Second World War if America hadn't fi- nnnced it. With limited means except manpower the Arab states are preparing to wage war if necessary in the Holy Land. It is said they will fight the proposal for United Nations trusteeship as defiantly as partition. Officers on leave or retired from the armies of Iraq, Syria and Egypt Legal Way Is Found To Fulfil Obligation Ottawa, March 28. Parlia ment, in the hustle and bustle of adjourning for the Easter recess, round a legal way to pay off a moral obligation.

Passing $260,000,000 worth of supplementary estimates and in terim supply Thursday night, the Commons gave approval to a tiny vote to Mrs. Jonn anow, of Win nipeg, and thus opened the way to the Government to meet an obliga tion to the war widow. Behind that vote was this story: in 3945, Sgt. Frank K. Snow ap plied for $4,000 of veterans' insur ance through the Veterans Depart ment and paid the premium.

However, before the forms could 'get to Ottawa through the slow-moving channels of the newly-formed in surance system Snow died and the insurance, since it had not been approved, could not legally be paid Since then the Department has sought legal means of paying the insurance. Passage of the $1 item by Parliament recognizes the moral obligations and authorizes the department to make the $4,000 pay ment.

(JV) Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek today blamed China's civil war on his tolerance of the Communists during the Japanese invasion, but said it was a mistake he would not make again. The Chinese chieftain spoke at a farewell meeting of the People's Political Council, formed as a government advisory body 10 years ago. "I have committed many blunders during those ten years," he said, "but the worst was my tolerance toward the Communists.

"I allowed them to take part in the People's Political Council and gave them other privileges which resulted in our present civil war. "However I am confident we will not repeat this mistake." Chiang admitted his concern over the present state of affairs, but as serted, "In my opinion both the international and national situations clouded though they may be were more unfavorable in 1938 than today." This was challenged by Chang Po-lang, chairman of the meeting, wno warned Chiang: "The general morale of our teo- ple is lower today than ten years ago. Be as it may that the situation is better, we must admit that the people are most unhappy." Chiang reminded the council that when it wus formed "we lacked even a national capital." and said. I sincerely believe the national safety is more secure today than at the beginning of the war with Japan." From the floor, however. Suiyunn firovince members appealed lo him get them 100,000 rifles "to arm our people against the Reds." In conclusion, the council un animously endorsed Chiang for the presidency or China.

The National Assembly, succes sor to the council, is due to meet Monday to elect the country's first constitutional president and vice-president. The Assembly is due for a dubious start. Less than half the mem bership of 2,151 is present, and a small but militant group of claimants to seats is threatening fireworks. Ten of these claimants were on a combination sitdown and hunger strike in the Assembly Hall. DOCTOR GUINEA PIG IN TEST OF CANCER Swallows Toxic Dye and Turns Blue, But Has No III Effects Philadelphia, March 28.

JP) Experiments in which a doctor risked his life as a volunteer guinea t)ia disclosed that chemical dyes may prove a "most powerful weapon" in warfare against, cancer, the University of Pennsylvania said Saturday. The doctor asked that his name not be used. He volunteered after a dye similar to that used on Easter eggs, and catalogued in the color index as Nile blue sulfate proved toxic in experiments on animals, the university reported. Dr. Philip P.

Goland. Fellow In Neuro-Surgery in the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, became convinced a simple change in the dye structure would produce a compound les toxic. It was the synthesized dyestuff known as Nile blue 2B which the anonymous hero swallowed to test its poisonous effect on humans There were on ill effects. But the doctor turned a handsome shade of blue. ine newly-established cancer commission of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and Ifospital reported "experiments on animals demonstrated that certain malignant growths not only are re tarded by selected dyestuffs, but some of these substances actually caused a marked shrinkage of the malignant tissues." Although the experiments have been carried out jointly by the university's Harrison Department of Surgical Research and the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, the commission credited a woman scientist with a large part in the tests.

The commission said Dr. Mar garet Reed Lewis "has been exam ining possibilities of the use of dyestuffs in connection with can cer research." "Knowing that cancer cells break off and wander into other tissues the commission reported, "she found it important to find a colored substance selective for cancer tissue so that its course could be traced through the body. Use of Nile blue sulfate demon-stated tumors stained with the dye "grew more slowly than uncolored tumors and that treated animals lived longer than untreated ani mals." But the dve was toxic. It was then the synthesized material was made and the human guinea pig volunteered for experi ments. 'Bacteriological' War Said Perfected by Reds Washington, March 28.

fP) Senator Edwin C. Johnson (Dem today credited the Russian with perfecting a new weapon "Iar more effective than the atomic bomb bacteriological warfare." "Authorities I regard as reliabi tell me the Russians have perfected thia terrible warfare weapon of spreading plagues and germs," he told a reporter. "It will be far easier to use than the atomic bomb." Johnson said his sources, whom he did not identify, report that fifth columnists could spread dis ease and terror in large urDan or industrial centres with slight chance for detection."

SS6T A tribute to Joseph La Vergne. political writer of La Patrie who died suddenly Thursday, was paid Saturday in the Arraignment Court by Judge T. A. Fontaine. Mr.

La Vergne was a lawyer before entering journalism 20 odd years ago. "Newspapers are the instruments exerting the most potent force on the public," said Judge Fontaine, "and in this connection Mr. La Vergne was able to approach his task with an unbiased outlook? Though a political writer with definite attitudes he enjoyed friends in both political camps in Quebec and his loss is a genuine one." His Honor recalled the traditions of the press and cited the case in the United Stales recently of two newspapermen preferring to go to jail rather than to divulge the source of a news story which they had published. Mr. La Vergne belonged to this pattern, he stated.

In his eulogy Judge Fontaine claimed he spoke for all the judges of the Montreal magistrature. W. B. SOMERSET DIES Former Ontario Marketing Commissioner Was 72 Toronto, March 28. William Beaufort Somerset, 72, former commissioner of marketing for Ontario, died at his home Saturday.

(Reuters) There is no word for compromise in the Russian language, Bernard Cardinal Griffin, Archbishop of Westminster, preaching in his Cathedral, declared tonight. "Nations and states have failed to come to terms with the communistic leaders of Russia." he added, "because Communism is radically opposed to Christianity and all that it stands for. "The Communist wishes to win the world for Stalin and we want to win it for Christ. "It is no use to decry the evils of Communism if we fall to remedy those evils under which Communism can flourish." and Exhaustion Northwest gales lashed the Gulf of St. Lawrence again today after mild rainy weather Saturday and were expected to increase pressure on ice packs in Cabot strait.

Crews of the Teazer and Monica Walters said Saturday another sealer, identified as the Marion Emily, was being squeezed by the ice off Cape Breton northern tip. (It was presumed the crews referred to either the Alfred and Emily or the Mary Hyde, both sealing in the vicinity of St. Paul's island. Lloyd's Register of Shipping does not list any boat named the Marion Emily. (The R.C.A.F.

at Halifax last night received a wireless message from the Alfred and Emily that she could see the Mary Hyde on the horizon and that both vessels were safe.) However, there were no distress calls from any ship in the area and the danger ws believed passed, temporarily at least. A special aircraft took off from Sydney late today to fly the crew of the Teazer home to the Magda len islands. An ice patrol aircraft probably will make amoiner sur vev of the milt tomorrow. The crew of the Monica Walters will return to Newfoundland aboard the steamer Cabot Strait The field of ice in which the two sealer were trapped was reported to be 35 miles long and eight miles wide an area of 280 square miles of grinding, crashing ice. "It was a orettvi rough experl ence," said Capt.

Barry, "one of We hove wide range of Patterns for making Cast Gears for practically any requirement. We also moke Cut Tooth Gears of Cast Iron, Steel, Bronze and Celoron Fibre, as well as Chain Drives. Let us know your requirements and we will gladly submit our proposals. 1 MILLER BROS. SONS ltd.

Paul's island, told in simple words stories of danger and ex haustion when they arrived here Saturday with their crews on the Government icebreaker Saurel. The over-ice trek of 21 hunters from the sealer Teazer to land had been so strength-sapping that four men had to be carried the last few miles and dories being dragged by the men In case they struck open water had to be discarded. As the men from the ice-destroy ed Teazer struggled over the jag ged, shifting ice to safety. 17 crew members were making a dangerous escape from the heaving, buckling Monica Walters.
