heavy shipping losses suffered by

Chiang Kai-shek^ made an attempt
to arouse the ilagging spirit of the
('hinese war effort this week. He
apjKjinted T. V. Soong, brother of
Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, president of
the Executive if u a n. Formerly,
Chiang had held this position him
self.
Less than one week after he took
office, Edward B. Stettinius, Sec
retary of State, informed both
Britain and Italy that the United
States expected Italy to form her
own government without outsiJe in
fluence. In all probability, this,
statement is President Eoosevelt’s
stand on the matter. The new Sec
retary has not been in office long
enough to set policy.
This “hands-off” stat e in e n t
brought back a sharp reply from
Kritain’s Foreign Secretary, Anthony
Eden. He asserted that Great Britain
Was entirely within her rights in
trying to shape the government of
liberated countries. This turn of
events means that the United States
and Great Britain are entirely at
odds on the very vital question of
the postwar government of liberated
countries. The gei>aration on this
question may prove to be a stumbl
ing block at the peace table where
cooperation is all-important.
The most interesting development
the homefront in the past week
"’as the all-important shake-up in
the State Department. The move was
promoted by the new Secretary, Ed
ward R. Stettinius, Jr. Joseph G.
Grew, the last United States Am
bassador to Japan, was appointed
U ndersecretary. William L. Clayton,
World’s largest cotton merchant,
from Texas, was made an assistant
Secretary. Xelson Rockefeller, grand
son of “John D.” and Archibald
MneLeish, Librarian of Congress,
Were also appointed to the posts of
assistant secretaries. The signific.ance
of the change is the emphasis plac
ed on economic affairs in the United
States foreign policy. The only as
sistant secr^'tary remaining from
the list of Hull’s administration is
I>ean Acheson.
The list of changes in the State
i>epartment was sent to the Senate
for its approval. The Senate assert
ed its authority and recommitted
the nominations to the Foreign Re
lations Committee. The reason was
given by the Senators that they did
not know enough about the nominees
yet. They blamed the Foreign Re
lations Committee for not investigat
ing Grew, Clayton, R'ockefeller, and
MacLeish more thoroughly in order
that more might be known about
how these men felt on the current
problems with which the State De
partment must deal. The Senate was
not intentionally slurring the nom
inees; it merely wants to feel certain
that they are good men for the J
important posts they are tofiH.
Successful Santa Must
Fit Qift To Personality
By Sheffield Liles
With the brightening berries on
the holly trees in the square, the
bustling in downtown stores, and
the shoving through “Bookstore”
aisles comes that rushed realization
that you have to buy those last
few Cliristmas gifts. In selecting
gifts this year, let practicability
lead you by the nose—listen for
hints, even ask for them I Let your
giving be more inclusive—don’t for
get the little boy you taught in
Bible school and do remember the
maids, if even with only a Christ
mas card. For out of town gifts.
Uncle Sam says make your dead
line December 20th to assure de
livery by Christmas.
Don’t give yonr roommate that
strongly-scented soap that is new
to hermit probably will remind her
of Fido’s special lather! Why not
get her a pair of pastel angora-
toi>ped socks—or a lushly printed
1‘ayou kerchief (both at Sosnik’s) ?
Earrings, especially plain gold-
plated ones (Anchor) are a “must”
for any girl on your list. A strand
of dainty “baby” pearls (Ideal)
will be a lovely compliment to her
pastel sweaters, and a set of gold-
backed combs (Montaldo’s) make
for a thrill. Tliat new book she
ha.s mentioned wanting, perhaps
Immortal Wife (Salem Book Store)
will be welcomed.
Next comes the family. Try to
select a simple extra for your
mother that she probably wouldn’t
otherwise buy for herself. Delicately
scented sachets are nice to tuck in

(Arden Farm Store). If the silver
barette fad hasn’t hit the hometown
yet, little sister will “swoon” over
a personalized silver barrette (Salem
Book Store). Of course, the kid
brother would love a spare tire for
his jolopy, but a ping-pong set
will prove almost as much fun
(Bocock-Stroud).
For the boys in the camps natural
leather writing port folios (Arden |
Farm Store) will be nice for now
as well as later. Leather eases con
taining two decks of cards will be
doubly appreciated (Bocock-Stroud).

it in a leather folder (Ardqn Farm

initials. If he’s a Yankee and |
you’re an original “Rebel” and tie
a miniature pickaninny manikin on
to the name tag.
