Show Peace On the Spot -By-GEORGE HICKS . In an effort to keep abreast of the times and furnish its readers with information on developments at the World Peace Conference in San Francisco Calif., The Springville Herald has made arrangements for a representative at the Peace Conference Con-ference in( the person of George Hicks, noted radio announcer and columnist, to send each week a review of the highlights of the Conference, together with many interesting sidelights on this history-making event. He will send short excerpts from interviews with every class of people, and will aim to present the opinion of the common com-mon man on the street and his reactions to the Conference. He will aim in his reviews to paint a true picture of the Golden Gate city and to bring readers of The Herald true facts and developments of the Conference as they transpire. The last of a series of articles on the Conference is pub-ished pub-ished this week with the caption, "Peace On The Spot," as follows: At last the epoch-making Unit- 4 ed Nations conference in San Francisco Fran-cisco is practically over. About all that is left is for President Truman Tru-man to give it his final blessing in losing which event is expected on or about June 11th. It has been dull this last week, with many of the radio commentators commen-tators and journalists gone back home. And outside of the free-for-all scraps between the Big Five and the Little Forty-four, what concerned con-cerned the peacemakers most was the growing trouble in Syria. Every Ev-ery scribe we met agreed that this issue was packed full of dynamite. Be careful of your mental matches. match-es. SIDELIGHTS : The O. W. I. invited the press and radio to view a speial exhibit of photographs of war damage and atrocities. We had to force ourselves to look at most of them. It made one want to sing "God Bless America" for the privilege of being in our free land of plenty. Despite the strained relations between the French government, U. S. and Britain in relation to the Syrian question, a spokesman for the French delegation assured the press that they had no idea of walking out of the conference. , . Which showed their good sense. The veto power of the Big Five seems to be the sixty-four dollar question and the last to be settled set-tled at the conference. The Canadians proposed that any nation which will be called upon to furnish troops for action against an aggressor shall join with the Security Council in deciding decid-ing how they shall be employed. This was accepted by the Big Five. At the last several press conferences con-ferences the guests and the press were actually seen drinking tomato toma-to juice and milk instead of vodka vod-ka .. . Ouch! STACATTOS: Raymond Swing, radio commentator: commen-tator: "Americans love Russia, that great country has lost 12 million lives to save 3 million Americans ... To dedicate ourselves our-selves to less than friendship for (Continued on Page 12) PEACE ON THE SP0T... (Continued from Page One) them, would be to get less and deserve it." Clare Luce, Republican from Conn.: "The Russian people are, and must continue to be our friends, for the peace of the world depends on that friendship." Wise woman. Author. "No one knows better than we folks who have covered this conference just how hard our Russian friends have tried to make it a success . . . We are all coming away with a better understanding under-standing of each other." May the good work continue. Radio broadcaster: "This Syrian Syr-ian affair might have upset the whole conference. Thank God, the French delegates here did not act like prima donnas" . . . Keep your fingers crossed. |
