The jaws of World Leaders have been working overtime ever since. Many of the League of Nations members went on to become United Nations members, Yugoslavia for one. This country appears on the League of Nations set at card 44, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The card informs us they were an original member of the League of Nations and they were also an original member of the United Nations. Well of course that sort of thinking is just fine for the textbooks where finally constructed theories can be created but reality is very different.
Many people are interested in flags.
I confess to not totally following their desire to collect cards with flags on them but everyone is driven by their own particular demons. Flags are a symbol of a country and flag burning seems to be something of a national pastime for many. Nowadays the Union Jack seems to have to wrapped about every sportsman we produce if a newspaper is going to take a picture of them. Its originality like that which makes sure the sports pages are used to light the coal fire on cold mornings. Now whilst the front of the card has all the appeal of a nations flag stuck on a bit of card the flip-side is a mine of information.
