DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The dangerous dispute over Irans nationalization of the tremendously rich oil concessions in that country appears to be approaching a showdown. PLENTY OF DYNAMITE Theres enough dynamite in this crisis to set off another world war unless the situation is handled with utmost caution. The crisis concerns the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, in which the British government owns more than half the common stock. This concern supplies some 30 percent of Britains oil and much of the fuel for her navy.

London is said to contemp late sending a high-level mission to Tehran to try to negotiate a set-I tie t. Meantime, all indications are that 1 Britain is looking Mr. Mackenzie hopefully to Washington for close co-operation in nandling this imbroglio. Some informed British circles say this is the time for London and Washington jointly to tell Iran where to get off. Apropos of this the British War Office has got in readiness a 4.000-maa parachute brigade which is used for emergencies.

Officials declined to give the reason but naturally speculation turns on whether the brigade might be sent to Iran to protect British lives and property. Well, this crisis certainly puts Britain in a tight spot, there seems to be no indication this writing that the U.S. would agree to joint use of the big stick. WASHINGTON FEELING There is a strong feeling in some Washington circles that Britains handling of the oil developments has been injudicious and a more liberal attitude should have been adopted. Some critics claim that the British have given in only where they were compelled to, with the result that the Iranians finally have revolted.

As a matter of fact, the United States has advised Britain in previous developments to make terms. The above appraisal can be qualified by the statement that if the British would abandon the big stick attitude, the United States might follow her. But any idea of an ultimatum would be out, as being dangerous. And certainly the presence of British troops on Iranian soil might be catastrophic. It likely would result in Russia sending troops into Iran.

Such a Red move could be made under the terms of a 1921 Russo-Iranian agreement. However, ication at The Citizenship Committee and the Civitan Club of Windsor are joint sponsors of a Canadian Citizenship Day Ceremony to be held at W. D. Lowe Vocational School, May 23, at 8 p.m. The Windsor observance is being held in conjunction with nation-wide observance of Citizenship Day.

The meeting, which will be attended by a large group of New Canadians and representatives of many organizations in Windsor, will be opened with a parade of colors and a musical interlude followed by an address by Rev. M. C. Davies, M.P.P., Speaker of the Ontario Legislature. A Bigger Penalty, Science Tests Considered For Drunk rivers Troops Dying In Korea Mud Seen Protecting People at Home Today lira OTTAWA By Maurice Jefferies of the the highway A A Amendments to scaling down make it easier to get convic-1 slaughter.

On the Record tions against drunk drivers and to provide heavier penalties are Pearson Seeks Clarity under consideration by cabinet. Hunt Dakota In Labrador Four Fliers Aboard Lost R.C.A.F. Plane master plans Eventually, a stage would have been reached when the remaining countries which were free and independent would have realized that they had either to wage war with fewer resources and with much slighter hope of success, or else be engulfed under a wave of Soviet tyranny. Since they would certainly have chosen rather than slavery, a third -world war would have been inevitable. In meeting the onslaught of the Communists in Korea, the United Nations forces, including Canadians, have suffered losses but they have inflicted immensely heavier losses on the enemy.

They can take pride. Mr. Pearson said, in the fact that their heroic resistance has lessened the danger in other parts of Asia. politburo. muddy fields of Korea, it seem odd to hear someone that his mission is to prevent a third world war.

He may well be forgiven for not seeing very much difference between a world war and the bloody business in which he is now engaged. But it is necessary to remember that a new world war will be very different from the campaign now being fought in Korea. It would be an atomic war which would result in the death of hundreds of thousands of people at one stroke, and which would leave the earth pockmarked and infected with radioactivity for years When viewed in that light, Mr. Pearson suggested, our soldiers in Korea, and the soldiers from other countries of the United Nations, will see their task is supremely worthwhile. Hon.

Stuart Garson, minister of justice, told the Commons Tuesday, answering a query by J. G. Diefenbaker, Progressive Conservative, Lake Centre, that amendments dealing with drunk driving may be before the Commons shortly. Reports are that the government intends to amend the Canada Evidence Act to allow evidence in courts of scientific tests made for the determination of drunkenness. Amendments to the Criminal Code may step up the minimum and maximum penalties.

The drunken driver, entirely unpredictable, is always a menace to everything else on the highway. There will be public support lor any reasonable measures to check the drunk behind the wheeL On Korea Objective TO defeat aggression, and by the lesson of that defeat to help prevent the outbreak of World War III. That, in a nutshell, is why Canadians are fighting and dying in Korea. In the words of Hon. L.

B. Pearson, external affairs minister, that is the mission of the United Nations in Korea. In such a confused situation as exists in Korea it is difficult to have a dear objective or to see the objective that we have clearly. Mr. Pearson tried this week to clear up some of the confusion.

If the Communist aggression in Korea, the minister pointed, had been allowed to succeed without any attempt being made to resist it, other acts of aggression would certainly have followed. The strength of the free world would have been nibbled sway piecemeal in accordance with the Muddy Fighting Better Than Atom Bombs TPHE external affairs minister went on to say that to the infantryman slogging over the SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. (CP) Two search parties took to the air today, one from here and another from Goose Bay, Labrador, in the second days search for a missing plane with four men aboard. SCOUR AREA More than 30 R.C.A.F. planes and several United States aircraft from Newfoundland bases yester day scoured Labradors forest and part of the Gulf of St.

Lawrence in a fruitless attempt to locate the lost Dakota. Ships in the area were also asked to keep watch. The plane was last heard from Monday night when it reported its position over Goose Bay and headed for its base here on a routine navigational training flight. Aboard the plane were FO. Joseph Jean Rodier of Summer-side and Montreal, 25, pilot; FO.

Owen Foster, 23, of North Vancouver, co-pilot; Flight Cadet Wilfred Smith, 24, Shelburne, N. and Flight Cadet Gerald Higgins, 11, Gatineau Point, Que. The cadets were honor students in navigation, due to graduate soon. The mishap was the first since this wartime base was expanded two years ago into a training field for navigators of North Atlantic Treaty nations. The Dakota would have crossed some of the most desolate parts of Labrador.

Numerous lakes and rivers, scrub trees and rocky, uneven terrain would have made an emergency landing difficult Chinese around the Red leaders, accelerate the Asian revolution, and end western influence in Asia for decades to come. We are. therefore, neither for MacArthur por Truman. Our position is nearest that of Herbert Hoover. NO FULL PROGRAM No one yet has projected a comprehensive program restoring and maintaining order in South Korea if, or when, the Chinese and North Koreans ever agree to cease fire and return to the status quo ante helium, which has become our limited aim.

Every expert we had in Korea before the peace-enforcement project began testified that South Korea was not viable. Its agriculture depends on North Korean industry which, in turn, depends on South Korean food. Wholesale destruction has certainly not made South Korea more viable; So, assuming that we could restore the South Korean Republic, it would have to come to terms with North Korea, or be a permanent American relief burden. But North Korea is meshed in with Manchuria, whose industries are heavily dependent on North Korean electric power, water reserves, and minerals. Thus, in geopolitical terms, Korea and Manchuria are a single area.

During World War II, no one in the west paid the slightest attention to geo-political factors. This column managed to revive Sir Hal-f MacKinders Democratic Ideals and Realities, but, as in 1917, when it first appeared, no leaders in the west paid it heed so we got Yalta, an arrangement against which MacKinder had specifically warned a generation earlier. Geo-political factors are realities, far transcending ideologies. South Korea cannot bo supported by Pittsburgh or tbe Ruhr or sell its agricultural products to the United States. It can be supported only against another iron curtain by the American taxpayer.

Thus, every victory we win against geopolitical realities presents us with a new burden ad infinitum, drives us further into inflation, further into state control, further into state socialism, and further into war. And the more war the more Communism, as everyone must have observed by now. By DOROTHY THOMPSON This column, having read the testimony, sticks to its thesis that nothing of a fundamental nature is being debated in Washington. The fundamental issue, it seems to us, is American commitments under the U.N. VIEW PREVAILING The prevailing bi-partisan view is that peace is indivisible, and that it is the American duty to police the globe against aggression.

We wish everybody in any position of authority would read George Orwells 1894. That is where we are heading, by the process of calling war. peace.

(Congress suddenly had to rush through a special resolution to give the veterans of the Korean War many of the benefits, including medical care, already available to veterans of other wars. They were not available to veterans of Korea because the U.N. govern' ment had not declared the con flict in Korea to be a war.) The popular acclaim of General MacArthur, apart from the response to an extraordinary personality, is due to the belief that he knows how to end this peace-enforcement expedition quickly and, if our allies wont help us, well go it alone. The Truman-Marshall alternative is to maintain an indefinite holding, operation until enough Chinese are killed to make them want to quit Wd, however, think the Chinese can afford lives better than w'e, and that the intervention in Korea, like the intervention against Bolshevist Russia following World War will only serve to unify the Panama Holds Arias Backers Six More Ministers Jailed in Roundup PANAMA, Panama (AP) Police carried out a new roundup today of members of ousted President Araulfo Arias cabinet, as the death toll from last weeks bloody rioting mounted to 17. Arias himself is in jail and will stand trial May 25, charged with abusing his constitutional powers.

District Attorney Dario Sandoval said he had ordered the five ministers arrests because they were co-signers with Arias of the decree scrapping the 1946 constitution the act which touched off the violence and brought the president's downfall.

Despite reports of more bodies being found aboard the navy vessel, Atlantic Fleet headquarters did not revise its casualty toll of one sailor dead, four missing and 16 injured. No one aboard the coal ship was hurt Investigators collected evidence yesterday on the cause of the crash. Witnesses said the Valcour, loaded with high-test aviation gas, swerved into the path of the Tracy when its steering gear jammed.

One fire was put out and others were expected to be extinguished during the day. Weather officials said a good half-inch of rain fell last night and early today in the Sault Ste.

Marie and Sudbury districts, where 15 fires were burning. The showers. were expected to continue throuf much of the day, bringing cooler weather today and tomorrow. Against Bombing China Using Nationalist Forces JUVR. PEARSON dealt, too, with the argument that if there is to be total military victory in Korea for the United Nations, why not bomb a naval blockade and use the Chinese Nationalist forces in Formosa? This policy, Jn' the view of the Canadian Government and in tbe view ef most of the member-nations of the United Nations, would be a mistake.

It would not end the war in Korea, but might bring in Russia. In any event, it would engulf the UN. in a full continental war with 450,000,000 Chinese. That hardly seems like the best way of ending the war in Korea. It may be, as Mr.

Pearson said, that in spite of efforts tojbring about a settlement in Korea, the catastrophe of a third world war may not be avoided. It may be, this conflict will be extended to the continent of China. But if the conflict is so extended, let the responsibility for the terror, the anguish and the devastation that it will cause rest in other hands than ours, Mr. Pearson said. There have been no recent indications that Chinese Communists are in any mood to negotiate.

But as the U.N. forces continue to inflict heavy losses on them, the Chinese government in Peking may some day come to realize it is not China but Russia which is being served by the war in Korea. Then, as now, the United Nations will, stand ready to negotiate. Careless Forgetful Driving Toll Worse DUT in the long run. it is the driver who is simply' careless and forgetful of the rights of others who causes the most trouble on the highways.

The latest Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures show that Intoxicated drivers were directly involved in only one percent of the accidents. D.B.S. concluded that the real cause of motor accidents is a widespread lack of care, patience and courtesy, coupled with too many slow brains driving 'fast cars. This type of driver is the most difficult to control, for all too often he fails to realize the results of his carelessness, or just refuses to recognize the fact he is doing wrong. The too slow driver in heavy traffic, the careless roadside parker, the man who drives without proper lights or too bright lights, the man without proper brakes on his car, those who fail to give proper signals on making turns, are among the petty offenders who, in the long run, pile up the accident score.
