We found ourselves laden with flowers and boughs of lemon trees with the fruit still on and pockets full of fruit and nuts. When 'our hands were full they forced, wine down our throats. They slapped our backs and shouted into our ears little bits of English they had learned, like You are welcome or "America, England. Sicily I come." or America. England here." Even Italian soldiers drifting along lo be captured joined in the cheering.

For perhaps a hundred yards we fought our way onwards through this welcome. But, Anally, we were frankly defeated. Coping with enthusiasm like this is more exhausting than you could believe possible. An American jeep came up the' road the othe direction and we jumped on it quickly and drove back out of Palermo. This was the sort of reception I had hoped we would one day get in Athens or Oslo or Warsaw.

Bomber Command (and the weather) will decide how soon Ihey will be called out again to resume the unequal task of trying to prevent night raids. While they are resting it will be interesting to look at some of the problems they have to face. They operate the only effective defence against the night bomber, and though they are among the most experienced night fighters in the world they have never (or rarely) helped to destroy more than 5 per cent, of an R.A.F.

The strain on the German pilots is much Greater than it ever was on our own during the height of the night raiding on Britain. ine mir.

German Boasts But as the comparatively slow and lightly armed Blenheims and Denants were replaced by Beau-fighters and the pilots and operations-room controllers became more experienced they imposed such losses on the enemy that for the military damage achieved large-scale German raids became unprofitable.

So far as one can judge German in urn ngnter crews can look forward to no similar prospect. The Germans boast of devices which help the pilots to detect bombers. They have talked of a "magic eye" and are said to be able to control night fighters in packs on light and clear nights But the raids are compressed into such short periods that even uiougn our DomDers must olten take long overland mules the German night fighters have not enough time (even if they had the ability to destroy more than a small pel -centage of the raiding machines. Constant Readiness To be constantly at readiness, to have to force themselves lo concentrate on every flight: to have to risk the return fire of the bombers, and to know that in the end they cannot stop the raiding, must impose a great strain on the night pilots of the Luftwaffe. As their own offensive power grows, so does the defensive armament of nignt bombers.

In the comparative failure of the German night defences there is a warning for the humanitarians and militarists of the future. The peacemakers and those who intend to preserve it are now seeing that any country which is prepared to build up a large night bomber force with carefully calculated reserves can sustain considerable losses yet still attack any enemy city or industrial ar-a it pleases within a range of many hundreds of miles.

and another -leading member of the United' Australia Party, Mr. Robert Menziesv whom he succeeded as Prime; Minister when Mr. Menzies resigned. The trouble has arisen over Mr. Fadden's revival the .) post-war credit' scheme which he proposed In his Budget-of He now proposes to'? refund to tn vnavem after the what'they had imiu in income tax ana to majce ine retrospective to last year's taxation.

PMtWar Inflation Mr. Me- eon. stituents on Friday, denounced the proposal on the' grounds: of possible inflation, and said it -was unknown to. mm untu ne heard Mr. Fadden's -broadcast imeech Mr FaddenVin reply, describes Menzies statement as a stab in the back, and ''another -of the betrayals tor which Menzies is notorious," and asserts that, he supported the IJiau oi .1141.

Incredible and vuTgar," was Mr. Menzies comment -on this. He claims that Mr. Fadden's credit policy differs widely from that of 1841, and places the blame on Mr. Fadden for any disunity that may be created in the ranks of those anxious to defeat Labour.

It is not yet possible to assess the effect of the' squabble on the result of the election. Mr. Fadden's speech rf neen well received in the Press: "An outline for a nation -not a Party manifesto." was one comment. The nomination of a larrro. nt Independents than ever before is al racior in tfie election campaign.

Undoubtedly a group, perhaps seven or more, will be elected. These may hold the balance of power and force ine national uovernment which Mr Curtin rejects. Decisive Week In that case. Mr. Evatt.

who has been visiting Britain and America, would almost certainly be offered the Prime Ministership. He is known to favour a National Government. It. however. Labour have a working majority, the caucus will drop both Mr.

Forde and Mr. Ward, who have become liabilities to the Government. Meanwhile. although Labour claims to being certain of a working majority in the Lower house, the Government is doing its utmost to increase its popi-larity. CAIN.

This year our accounts are in a slightly diluent form, to comply with the requirements ot the paper control. From a perusal ol the accounts it will be seen that we made a profit of 51.512 on the sale of investments of which your directors considered it prudent to dispose in view of the favourable prices obtainable.

The profit on these transactions has beer, added to the carry -forward The year has not been an easy one, as the raw material position has been more difficult than last year and quotas and other restrictions have militated against sates' expansion However. 1 am glad to say that in spite of these facts, sales of the group's products were substantially in excess of those lor ine previous year.

PALERMO, July 22 THINK this is just about the greatest story of the war for me Palermo welcoming with delirious enthusiasm the army that had bombed and conquered it. If only Mussolini could have seen what I have seen this evening! Palermo is the biggest enemy city the Allies, have yet captured this war. And in one brief hour its people shed twenty years of Fascist propaganda, and welcomed the Americans like beloved heroes. Pandemonium I suppose it started in Monreale, a large town about six miles out from Palermo.

All the way along we had been clapped and cheered, but most of the day we had only passed isolated farms and small villages. It was about six o'clock when the great armoured column twisted down the mountain road into Monreale's long, narrow main street. And there was pandemonium wailing lo meet us. The streets were so crowded that the t'arabmeiri cnuld scarcely clear a path fur the tanks. The balconies on the tall, narrow houses were thronged until vou wondered why they didn't collapse.

Everyone was there, and it was nreltv Dlain that most of the women had put on their Dest ciotnes. And all of them seemed completely hysterical. They screamed and shouted and clapped- and waved flags all at once. They cried Viva America. Viva In-Khilitcrrra," until their voices cracked.

They grabbed you as you passed and ran alongside to shake you by the hand. On the least encouragement they kissed you. Americano? Flower1- and almonds' and apples and greengages and lemon', were tossed in showers into jeeps and trucks. Some even threw melons. Tiny babies were held up to see this great sight and, if possible, touch an American soldier.

1 remember an unlorgell.ible picture or a little bambino standing stark naked on a wall the inadsiQe and waving a biff while flag tvery lime the column halted every vehicle was inundated beneath a surging wave ot people. With wild signs and' grimaces they tried to give expression lo what they felt. Usually they slatted by pointing to all the troops and saying Americano? in order to make sure what nationality these troops were. They were prepared to be equally enthusiastic had the troops been British. They just wanted lo know.

Then Ihey set to work to make it clear they were pleased to see conli-nlissimo they said, grinning bioadly and p.ontmg lo themselves Then they wr.uld want to shake hands and tlicn everybody would want lo shake hands, and it went on until your hands were dirtv and sweaty and numb you spoke three words of! Italia were lost. You had to i listen lo a thousand stories aboul I what they had suffered and why they I were glad lo see us and how Ihev had been waiting Then Ihev would give you an Italian cigarette to show vou how terrible thev were and vou had to give an English or American cigarette in return. i it became clear that lhpp people couldn't all be inhabitants of Monreale. There were loo manv nf them The Carabineiri fought them bark. smiling indulgently like parents excusing the exuberance nf their offspring.

And. finally, we learned that many of these were people who had been evacuated from the dockside areas of Palermo. We had bombed them out. And now they were welcoming us with frantic joy. Priest's Blessing Finally, we clove our wav ihrmiuh the throngs of Monreale weary of smiling and bowing and sha'king hands.

We left with our ears Allen with shrill advice about the mines and booby-traps the Italians had set lor us round Palermo harbour. A priest stood in his full vestments to bless us as we went. Monreale iS Still a few VmnHreri feet up in the hills. Now below ui Palermo lay like a huge white of buildings spilled along the blue sea. We looked down on it all for a minute, and then the column started moving again.

From the south where we entered, there is one broad straight boulevard leading into the neart or the city. And at the start of it. Ma ior-General Molinero was waiting to receive the American corps commander and surrender ralermo. It turned out that there was some slight hitch about surrendering P.ilermo To bp Fin with American troops had alreadv penetrated the streets, coming from a noie easterly direction Ser-nnH General Molinero wasn't really in command. The commander of some armoured corps was reallv senior, but it was not quite certain where he was.

He might have been caught unawares by some other Americans. But in any case there would be nn resistance. Rather sharply the American commander invited the Italian to step into his staff car. He gave orders that no other vehicle nf an sort were to be allowed in.

Probably he will refuse to believe any written account. But he couldn't have refused to believe his eyes to-night.

And he recommended us to an hotel an hotel with electric light, running water, and the Arst linen sheets I have seen since we landed. That is where I am writing this despatch. All this came at the end of a dav o( a tremendous forced march.

The Americans advanced against Palermo in two columns from the eolith. One started round Carleone an "ther one from Castelvetrano. luriner west. I came with the latter, an we pushed forward over sixty miles across mighty mountains dur- lng lneday. it was a strange, al most inhuman column which writhed through the lovely Sicilian landscape wreathed in white dust.

It was an endless procession of evenly-spaced tanks and half-track vehicles and guns of all sorts and bulldozers and jeeps and all the complex apparatus of a modern super-mechanised army. The men wore the deep, fierce-looking American steel helmets and goggles to keep out the dust, and their faces were white with dust, so that they scarcely looked like men at all. Small wonder that the periodic columns of Italian prisoners trudging up the highway stared in stupefaction at the army that had come against them. There no opposition at all that could really be called opposition. But at midday we came lo a village called San Guiseppe Jato.

and beyond it was a narrow, twisting gorge through mountains, where the road hung on the side of precipitous rocks for a mile or more. Here, one Italian and one German gun had been ordered to make a stand. Free Ice-Cream In the village they were alreadv serving out free ice-creams to the American tank crews. Someone had written in Italian on the walls of the houses Down with Fascism for Ever." but up in the ravine they were arguing. An elderly German staflf-sergeanl in private life a postman in East Prussia with five children but, nevertheless, an experienced soldier -saw that the situation was hopeless.

He told the Italian lieutenant it was useless to fire the guns. Big demolition was the only effective thing. But the Italian was hot-headed and brave. He started planting mines in the road. Then, as American reconnaissance units came out of the village into the gorge, he rushed to his gun and fired it.

With his first shot he scored a hit. But an American tank answered immediately, and the Italian and two of the other three members of the guncrew were killed beside their gun. The German hid until we came, then surrendered. More and for Children SETTLE clothes necessary for growing children, and those they did buy quickly wore out. Children's wear will be divided into categories, ruling out all showy or shoddy garments.

Price limits will be put on each category, and the kind of material to be -used in the making will be clearly defined. The trade will be directed to keep out all undesirable and bad-wearing garments. When this planning ls over, the Board's officials hope to tackle particular instances in which complaint has been made. The shortage of children's shoes has not been overcome. In the year before the war, twenty-nine million pairs of shoes were made, and 331,000 pairs imported.

This year, thirty million pairs were made, the best leather in the country being directed for children's wear after the Forces had taken their pick. Many parents have found now that the shoes do not last so long and they have to buy two pairs where one would have done before the war. And there remains a vast gap in the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes. Fifteen million pairs of summer plimsols and winter Wellingtons were formerly imported. Rubber is no longer available to replace then.
