I also heard a farmer in the lobby
of the Lollis Hotel recommend to
another that he read Ludwig's life
Of Stain. do not know the mean
ing of this incident. I have not been
here long enough to know the mean
ings of incidents, so I merely report
this one.
So Far From Malaga.
Mr.. Willkie, whose home town
this is, is the most consistent inter-
nationalist know. When a farmer
complains about needing tire, Mr.
Willkie looks him in the eye and
tells him that If he hadn't been an
isola zionist and had worried some
about protecting the country's re-
mote source of supply for rubber,
he would not be without tire now.
He does not get cheered for such
remarks. But I have a feeling that
this fat and smiling country is now
just wee bit on the defensive on
the isolation issue. 1t is beginning
to take umbrage. 1t Is promising
sign when a region begins to take
umbrage.
Thus one farm editor reprinted
Mr.. Wilkes chapter on Russia s
collective farms. He reports that
there was lot Of interest. THE
Indiana farmer Is not an solationist
and never was" he says. The In
diana farmer is interested in his
brother farmer in Africa and Russia
and China"
Again I will not try to give you
the significance OF this phrase, be-
cause I do not know the signifi-
canoe Of it. merely report that
there is this line of talk, too; that
local talk is not all one way.
Three Years After.
Nobody pays any special atten-
ton to Mr.. Willkie when we sit in
front Of the hotel and watch the
town go by. Sometimes, though,
when he sits on the front porch of
his Harrison street house, an out
of-state car will drive by slowly. 1t
will stop, and those in it will look
up at the porch. And then 1t will
go on, and maybe stop again. Then,
In a swoop, it will back up and some

Treasury Eases AEF
Money Order Rules
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26. - The
Treasury Departments foreign fund
control has amended regulations
that will allow a two-way exchange
of postal money orders between per-
sons in this country and members
of American armed forces abroad
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York announced today.
The new order permits the send
ing Of postal money orders drawn
in favor of a member of the Amer
lean armed forces abroad or other
authorized person." if sent through
oficial channels, and importation
of United States postal money orders
and personal checks from members
of the armed forces and other
authorized persons" the state
ment said.
Heretofore the Treasury has for
hidden money exchanges between
any one in this country and those
in an enemy-occupied country. Re-
strictions still apply to dealings with
nationals Of blocked-currency
country.

I'd Rather Be Rioht-

with the recent candidate. This
happens several times In an after
noon.
The town is indescribably gay. be-
cause there Is no dimout, and so
Rushville's brief business district
is brighter at night than Broadway.
The result is feeling Of elation
and the foolish belief that every
body in a town like this must be
terribly happy.
Policy on the Back Roads.
That impression is corrected when
you talk to the growers about the
price of corn. The Government can
control the price of hogs and cattle
pretty well. because these are ham
died by established dealers, at a
few markets. But the SLOT ceiling
on the price Of corn is a Statewide
joke. Most corn changes hands at
about $l.40. You can't control a
business that Is carried on among
neighbors, in the tsngle of back
roads. Indeed, you get the feeling
that no policy can be enforced out
here unless it makes sense to the
farmers, makes sense to them way
down deep inside.
Maybe that is what Is in Mr.. Will
kie's mind when he tells you that
the prospects for international al
lance will not be too bright unless
these Middle States can really be
sold on it, so that they understand
it, and know what it means, and
want it.
1t is the biggest educational Job
Of the generation. 1t has to be
made to make sense, like mixing
a little sorghum with the corn, to
sweeten 1t and induce the heifers
to eat more.

adopted at the Quebec confer
ence, he may even go 50 far as to
extend an invitation to the Amer
lean and British leaders to visit
him on Russian territory to dis
cuss the shape Of postwar Europe.
A town such as Tifiis, the capital
OF the Caucasus, for instance,
would be an ideal meeting place.
These stories which have been
circulating In Washington for the
last two days cannot be con-
flrmed now. however, and must
be treated for the time being as
mere speculations.
A meeting with Foreign Com
missar Molotov appears more
likely than 4 meeting with Stain.
Soviet Cards on Table.
The Soviet government has
placed the cards on the table as
far as Its western allies and asso-
ciates are concerned. We have
been told frankly that the present
offensive in the Mediterranean,
which brought the downfall OF
Mussolini, has made no impress
sion on the Nazis, who still have
a powerful army on the Russian
front.
We also have been told that the
