almost hear them licking their chops
over my return.
Being a McIemore myself. could
figure out just what they were
thinking of themselves all the time
I was gone. The quality Of the
presents always depended directly
on the length of the trip and the
time spent away from home. A
journey to the county seat resulted
in small gift. A trip to the State
capital brought better one. A trip
to Washington, a still better one.
and so on.
With me gone all the way to
London and awav from home nearly
six months, was under no illusion
as to what was expected of me. My
kith and kin counted on some real
dinguesters in the way of gifts.
landed in New York empty handed.
Way Out of Dilemma.
When you come home by air the
Army doesn't countensnce even so
much as a pocket handkerchief over
the prescribed weight limit. knew
this would never serve as an excuse
to my gift-eager relatives. They
would always wonder why I didn't
come by boat If I couldn't bring
them all presents in a plane.
So, you can imagine the shopping
have been doing since got to New.
York. Difiicult shopping, too. because
either have to find something with
made-in-England label on 1t, or
something with no label at all so I
can swear that 1t was made in Eng
| land.
It's amazing how little made-in-
England goods the 5-and-10-cent
stores handle. I have spent hours
turning everything in the 10-cent
stores upside down to see where they
were manufactured.
My efforts haven't been complete
ly fruitless. I found batch OF
leather dog collars with no stamp
of their origin on them, so I bought
all of those. In fact, bought more
dog collars than there are dogs in
the family, but that's their problem,
not mine.
In another store I ran into a
veritable gold mine. They had a
bunch of soiled lamp shades, greatly
reduced. These I mailed out, ac-
companied by little note which
said:
Il was fortunate enough to pick
this shade up at an auction sale by
the Duke Of Brighton after his
castle has been bombed. This par
ticular shade was the one the old
Duke used in his library. I would
liked to have sent you something of
a little more intrinsic value, but I
| felt that you would prefer a real
memento of wartime Britain.
Chipping Lends an Air.
strangely enough, everything
else In the castle was completely
destroyed by the bombing except
this lamp shade. Otherwise, would
have bought you a piece of antique
furniture 1t might interest you to
know that the bidding ran very high
on this shade, which was. of course,
the sole thing auctioneG off at the
auction"
Fortunately, many American man.
ufacturers of gimcracks only paste
a paper label on their products. 1t
was no trouble at all to remove these
from such things as vases, china
dogs and-well, vases and china
dogs. Some of these mailed intact,
saying that they had fortunately
come through bombings without a
scar. Others I chipped up a little
bit and put the blame on the Ger
man Luftwaffe.
Aunt Bews is not going to like her
china dog. I'm afraid. I got little
overenthusiastic and knocked off its
head and two of its legs. 1t will
neither sit nor stand but. as I ex-
planned in my note to her, "C'est
la guerre."

This Changing World

rillas OF Gen. Draja Mihailovich
are feared by the Nazis because
they are in position to inter-
fere with their lines OF communi-
cations before the arrival of the
Allies.
Now that we have complete
control of the Mediterranean and
expect to have control Of the
Adriatic in short time, Mihailo-
vich can receive needed supplies
and air support from the Allies.
He Is believed to have some l2o,-
900 men in his organization and
they are all anxious to come to
grips with the Nazis. When the
forces of this Serbian leader can
be provided with modern war
equipment, the Allies can count
on strong armv ready to fight
the Nazis.
The virtual disappearance of
Italy from the battle scene. to-
gether with the prospects of
Yugoslavia becoming once more
an active partner of the Allies
raises a serious problem with the
Nazi general staff.
Naxis Replacing Italians.
The Italians had placed 80 d.
visions in the Balkans to keen
the Yugoslavs and Greeks sub
dued. This force must now be
counted out. 1t is being replaced
by Nazi troops and while the
quality Of the Italian divisions In
the past could not be compared
with the Nazis, the German high
command will have to dispatch at
least 20 divisions to replace the
Italians. This will be a severe
strain on the Germans, parti-
cularly because they have to dis
patch at least an equal number
OF troops into Northern Italy and
the Maritime Alps to face the
forces the Allies will rush into
Italy soon after the end of the
Sicilian campaign.
Only a few weeks ago, the
Nazis were figuring on keeping a
reserve pool Of at least 50 divi-
sions In the Reich to be sent
either to the western or the east
ern front as circumstances re-
quired. Now this reserve MOL
will be exhausted In the near
future.
Hungary Troubles Nazis.
Moreover, there are indications
that Berlin Is worried about the
attitude Of the Hungarians. They
have marched with the Germans
since the beginning of the war.
But 1t Is common knowledge that
neither Admiral Horthy, regent
Of Hungary, nor the people them
selves have been very loyal to the
Nazis. The heavy losses sus-
tanned by the Hungarians in Rus
sia have depressed the Hungar-
Ian people to the point where
they are no longer to be relied on.
Surrender of Yugoslavia when
the Allies reach the shores of
that country would be an even
worse blow for the Germans than
the surrender of Italy. In order
to prevent such a possibility
the Nazis are now rushing more
troops into Hungary than they
can actually afford. They also
are sending food and other sup
plies in the hope that by such
measures they will be able to
prevent the people from yielding
to the Allies.

both parties. real isolationiStS are
now so shriveled in numbers and
Importance that they have reached
a stage of complete political i'm
potency. The word is regarded as
term of reproach and the doc
trine Is not advocated by any one
whose views carry weight.
Both parties are thoroughly COM
mitted to policy of postwar inter-
national cooperation and the iso-
lationists, who formerly infested
both, either have been weeded out
or have expediently changed with
the times.
So far as the Republicans are
concerned, through their party COM
mittees, they have twice gone on
record for international co-opera-
tlon AS for the Democrats, II there
are any isolationists left among
them. they do not protrude their
views.
Notable Advance.
Isolationism has become absurd
No party and no candidate can
afford to be identified with it. Fear
of a reversion is not we'll based
and the new excitement appears
strained. Most intelligent men as
sumo that the debate concerning
our postwar policy has proceeded
from the whether to the how stage
Such, anyhow, was the sssump-
ton in the very able speech of Sem
ator Lodge, made shortly before
Congress recessed and which de-
served more attention than it got
Senator Lodges grandfather was
leader in the fight which kept us
out OF the League of Nations and
which forced on us a stupid aloof-
ness which, to say the least, did not
help avert the awful war in which
we are now engaged.
1t is a notable advance that, sitting
in the same seat once occupied by
his isolationist grandfather, the
younger Lodge can declare himself
"a fervent believer in the pressing
need of international collaboration
after the war"
Practical, Selfish Theory.
And it Is certainly encouraging
that when he stresses the fact that
our cooperation should be practi-
cal and selfish instead of imprac-
tical and idealistic he should be
applauded by Senators of both par
ties end his speech take rank as the
ablest made in Congress for the
last two years.
First, Senator Lodge asserted that
as & result Of the demands of our
Allies and our own fighting forces
our reserves of vital, basic metals
are being heavily depleted and that
there is a prospect that after the
war, despite our magnificent natural
resources, we may become a have
not nation.
Having made this assertion. Sem
aUor Lodge proved it by the figures
of governmental authorities and the
testimony of expert ard detached
men. Then he urged tnat the
United States owed il to the world
as we'll as to itself to define its
needs.
Our Allies, the British and Rus
slams, he said. know exactly what
theirs are; We should knoW-and
let it be knoWn-What ours are.
The manner in which Senator
Lodge presented his case got an
unusual response in the Senate from
both sides Of the chamber. There
also Is reason to believe that more
nearly than any recent utterance on
the subject it was in accord with
public sentiment. The official Post
war Planning Republican Commit
tee, soon to meet at MackinaW
Island, undoubtedly will formulate
a plan along the Lodge lines for
