Meanwhile, a number of South African thinkers are thinking, unofficially, about a United Slates of Africa. It will be an odd world of the future which sees more fed erallam in Africa and less federalism in America 1 Postwar Truth A on the postwar front. Senator George of Georgia, in a remarkably able address to the United States Chamber of Commerce, has warned industry that if It wants to avoid government interference with business, it will have to Ket used to the idea of producing some 1 5 000 000,000 of goods and services each year, keeping 65,000,000 Americans employed.

Government spending during depression, ho says, is not a plot. but the natural result of unemployment. This was an exceedingly realistic meeting ot Chamber, with less hoorah and more hard facts than usual. It was good to hear somebody at one 01 these meetings state the simple truth about the postwar period, that one man is not going to starve willingly for the sake of another principles. The Chamber showed that its new, thoughful mood was not put on, for ils resolutions committee ended its work by endorsing extension of the reciprocal trade treatries by a vote of 34 to 11.

The committee lined up with Mr. Itoosevelt and against the du Ponts. who spoke for the other side. To the Itigli! ol the liainber? Here, again, I find myself coming hack to Governor Hricker, and to the leading Republicans, and to their nostalgic little unof- fical postwar plans. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has voted, three to one, for Hie trade treaties.

All the Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee, to a man, have voted, 1(1 to 0 against these treaties. Will not some leading Republicans realize the danger of Hie present drift, which finds the Hepublican party far to the light of the Chamber of Commerce of the United the world of the future, as the (I think the phrase is business men see it is a world of reciprocal trade treaties, negotiated by the President, while the world of the future as Governor Hricker and his friends see It is one in which all problems will be solved right in their own cute little villages. 11 a Song at Twilight think the Republican party must begin to face up to the future as squarely as some of its spokesmen, such as Hie New York Herald Tribune, have done. Actually, Its postwar planning as outlined in Its recent activity, is not planning at all. It is only a kind of moaning low.

The thing Governor Hricker says he wants a plan. It is a sentimental ballad. And while the Hricker idea not show up in the national resolutions, it cprtainly shows up in the party's Congressional voting record. Actually, the official side of the Republican party, far more than its members or its newspapers, is wandering into very special position. It not at all the mirror of conservatism any longer, it is the mirror of die-hardism.

It has become the dreamiest oT all the parties, for among the words of the future now being planned, the Hricker world of a return to the village green is the most wildly improbable, the most 1111 factuallv Imaginative, the starry-eyed, if you like, of them all.

Six months even three months ago such a catastrophe would have knocked him for a goal. They had been engaged for two years, waiting to marry until his business was a little more secure and they could buy a place out near her estate. wait a while now and then start out Lila had always said. Somehow, in Lila's charming, perfumed background, it had seemed right and logical. Hut down here in the jungle, natural instincts had a way of showing up in brutal relief.

Queer, how the same traits that seemed like wisdom and discrimination in one civilization, could be predatory, ruthless self-preservation In allot her. She would have him trade his own safety for failure in a mission that might mean the lives of thousands on the battle front. She understand that, even if he lost, he had to give the job the best lie had. He live with himself in that comfortable house they had picked if he went home now. And she would never change.

That was Hie thing which made this parting seem right and inevitable. They would have been happy as long as their lives were moving in the charming, perfect pattern she had worked out for them. Hut she could never fit into a new pattern. The challenge of meeting change had always worked as an elixir in Harry Fielding. The thought of a lifetime fighting change instead of going eagerly to meet it was deadening.

Even his meeting with Lila had been on the surge of rapid change for him. Hidlne ereat of a wave of success in his business that carried him into a new circle of friends. The life of comfort. charm and serenity she symbolized had seemed for the moment the end and aim of existence. Hut it for him.

His life had always been struggle, achievement, adventure. lie dressed rapidly. His mind was dear this morning. His body felt weak but the fever had once more purged it of the aching pain that had racked it yesterday. He could hear Lila packing.

The air was fresh and the sun- shine brilliant this morning. The tropic storm had spent itself just as the fever ill own body. He crossed the clearing and went to Tony's small thatched hut.

The two who carried her in will never work much A grim smile was on Harry's face as he went back to the es- tancla. He did see lot of things.

Lila's lake fortitude. Allison's disgust. Hut Allison hadn't told him. She must have known. He was suddenly in a tearing rush to be off.

He drank his coffee at a gulp and stowed the food the servant had fixed In his packed saddlebags. a a Lila was standing at the window of her room as he stopped the mule before it. He told her he had made arrangements for her to go with the mule train. She thanked him coolly. She was polite and distant.

She told him to ring her up when he got back to town. he interested to hear how his big job came out. He told her he would. And to have a good trip. Then he turned his head toward the jungle, feeling as if he had just walked out of a barred door that had been closing slowly upon him.

As he urged the nimble little beast along the jungle path this morning, lie could remember talntl.v how differently it had all looked yesterday. blurred and hostile under the rising mist of his fever. There were two forks he must remember. And lie came upon the first of them he checked carefully with his memory of the first trip and his fuzzy picture of esterday.

If ftenaldo had stopped her. she was safe. O11 the other hand, they were in Quiche territory. And Moticha Suma was still aticry with him. He reached the second fork, lie dismounted to give his hard- pushed mule a breather and to check his way carefully.

He dare take the wrong path in his impat lence! It was then he heard a failit. rustle of undergrowth. He was being tracked! He pulled his mule back into the shelter of a tree and waited, gun in hand. The rustling was nearer. He could hear the sounds two twigs cracking under the foot of the intruder.

And then the form leaped into the open trail, and ran toward him. With a gasp of relief. Harry stepped out to meet him. It was Tony! Harrv he muttered. Leaving the mule at some dist a nee, they crept nearer.

There were two Indians asleep near the half-dead camp fire before the hut. Harry kept them in sight until Tony had prowled about the clearing. He reported every Indian was gone but the two on guard. It was the work of a minute. They crept up 10 the sleeping natives and with quick, carefully delivered blows at the base of their skulls knocked them out.
