Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 6, 1953, Winnipeg, Manitoba Freedom of Trade Liberty of religion Equality of civil rights Winnipeg free press printed and published the Winnipeg Femme class Mailer by the Post office department Ottawa r. S. Malone vice president we. Lord general manager Victor Sifton president publisher Grant Dexter Edillor Winnipeg Friday March 6, 1953 troubled Middle East the latest explosion of violence in Iran is the result of a Long standing feud Between Premier Mossadegh and his opponents using the personal prestige of the Shah As a weapon in the Battle for political supremacy now raging in Iran. In the outside world Premier Mossadegh is regarded As a fanatic and an extremist. His conduct has Laid him open to this re proach but it is important to realize that in the Domestic politics of Iran he enjoys the authority of a nationalist Leader and the prestige of a Man eager to introduce Many social reforms into the country and above All to give the peasants More control Over the land which they have Farmed for Cen Turies As part of a backward Feudal Economy. But his mis handling of the Oil dispute has brought Iran within sight of bankruptcy. As distress has deepened in the country his critics have Felt emboldened to strike at his Power. The swing in political forces can be indicated briefly. Last year when the Shah dismissed Premier Mossadegh popular support was mobilized so quickly in favor of the discarded politician that Mossadegh came Back to Power with increased stature and prerogatives. But the fever of nationalism has had Many months to run since then and the Bills for Mossadegh s mistaken economic policies and political Defiance of the West have now begun to accumulate. It is one measure of his weakened position that this time Premier Mossadegh has been compelled openly to engage in a quarrel with the leaders of the army and to endure Sharp criticism from politicians whom in the past he was ready to silence by the exercise of his arbitrary authority. The figure of the Shah is of course a Mere incident in the larger political struggle. Whatever the outcome May finally be it seems certain that iranian affairs will continue to be in a ferment for a Long time to come. Do one new feature in the situation is the increased interest being taken by the United states in Iran. Premier Mossadegh has announced indeed that the Oil question forms one of the principal themes of Contention Between him and the court circles. The United states in its latest proposals has offered to buy iranian Oil now without a Market to the amount of and to offer its Good offices to promote a final mediation Between the Anglo iranian Oil company and the iranian government. Apparently Premier Mossadegh was inclined to accept the financial offer while objecting to the proposed outline of a settlement which might have to go be fore the International court at the Hague if Iran this time accepted its jurisdiction. The basis of his objection was that the Anglo iranian Oil company still sought some compensation for the abrupt stoppage of its activities in while its contract had years to run instead of being Content with a Flat payment for its properties in Iran. In the larger context of world events the most significant aspect of the whole affair is that the United states having gone this far. Cannot now withdraw and leave the dispute to he conducted Between great Britain and Iran. In fact the rejection by Iran of the mediation offered first by president Truman and More recently by the officials of the Eisenhower administration is proof that third party judgment is not welcomed by the inflamed nationalism now in control of iranian affairs. The United states has always stood aloof from the Middle East leaving the Burden of responsibility to be carried by great Britain and France. The major exception to that Rule was the consistent support of Israel shown by the United states government. The latest reports from Washington which indicate that the United states May be ready to shift its emphasis from Israel to the Arab states in order to offset russian pressure in the Middle East should be discounted heavily. Is really happening is that the United states government has understood at Long last that the situation in the Middle East is much More Complex than was realized by its Public opinion. The Choice is not so easy nor so simple As dropping Israel in favor of the arabs or of continuing to support Israel while caring very Little about the state of Arab opinion. A broader gauged policy has to be undertaken now. The real clue to the unfolding policy of the United states is its support of the British decision that Egypt cannot be Given exclusive and Independent control of the Suez canal zone. That is the Pivot on which Middle Eastern policy will turn. So Long As there is agreement in essentials Between London and Washington even the present turmoil in Iran and the stubborn antagonisms cultivated by the Arab world need not pose too serious a threat to world peace and stability. City administration it is a sad commentary that the first recommendation of City Council s special efficiency committee was voted Down on purely political grounds in Council meeting monday night. This action could have a bad effect on the committee s determination to carry out a sincere and thorough investigation of administrative efficiency in the civic service. Monday s Issue dealt with la Bor Ward 3 aldermen and Kcf aldermen combined to vote it Down. The efficiency committee composed of six key department Heads under the chairmanship of Aid. C. E. Simonite had questioned the advisability of certain classes of civic employees with i management functions notably foremen being included in certification of the civic Union. Council was asked to submit a list of these employee classifications to the provincial labor boar i for review. This is proper procedure under the provincial labor act. As Aid. Simonite pointed out. It would be entirely up to the i Board whether or not it upheld its original decision to include these employees in the bargain ing unit or whether it decided i to de certify them. The Union i has the same right to ask for certification of employees not now included and Council could rot and would not try to pre vent such an application being made. I in this Case the Union with 1 general labor backing opposed j the attempt to make application under the provisions of the labor act. Department Heads who made the recommendation consider it i wrong in principle that employ j ers and employees should be Long to the same bargaining unit. Foremen must advise their superiors on How Many men arc required to do a Job How much time must be spent on the work whether overtime is necessary and so on. At no time has there been any suggestion that such advice has been slanted to favor Union mates. However department hearts feel the system is wrong in principle and they would rather see foremen and related classes of employees form a bargaining unit of their own separate from that of the other workers. Apart from the merits or de merits of this particular Case Council s action Points up an other More general consideration. That is the tendency of some aldermen especially the Kcf group never to give the slightest consideration to the advice of department Heads except on technical questions of which they have no knowledge. An analogy can be drawn be tween the City and a private company. A company s Board of directors employs a competent management staff to provide it with expert advice on which to base policy. If the Board consistently disagrees with its management s advice it will change the management or the management will resign. But once policy is decided management is left free to administer it. The City Council is in precisely this position. It hires experts to run the City s business and pays some of them As much As a year. However some aldermen consistently disregard and even appear to be suspicious of the advice of their Man j agers. They formulate policy completely at variance with the considered opinions of their administrative officers. More they even attempt to show department Heads How to administer policy. It is proper and desirable that elected representatives should scrutinize carefully the administration of Public business. However this can be done in such a Way that administrators Are rot Hamstrung and Frust rated at every turn. It is the intention of the Spe Cial efficiency committee to at tempt to draw a definite line Between policy making and policy administration. The purpose would be to free department Heads from undue interference. It is to be hoped that the efficiency committee will not be discouraged by the reception of its first recommendation Alder men might remember their eco Nomy talk during the last civic election Campaign and give More favourable consideration to the sincere efforts of or. Simonite and his fellow committee members to give effect to these election pledges. Certainly the general Public who pay the taxes will be keenly disappointed actions such As this. Sit Down. Of course you know we re not settled yet London it is a Long time since world War ii ended still longer since the grim Days of 1940 when the Battle of Britain was being fought. I All who have visited London since the Blitz and who have seen the open spaces torn out of the City by bombs will thrill to the following paragraph in the current Issue of the London economist. A Little spurt in the rebuild ing of the City of London is at last to be permitted. The government is issuing building licences up to a total of this is still very Small in relation to the amount of bombed buildings to be replaced but it is a great Deal in relation to the virtual standstill in office building except for i the civil services since the War.
