(Footnoie by McKnight: The southern farm folk may not know where stop-gap United States aid ends and the Plan begins, but ‘they know it is American bread and spaghetti they are eating.) 4. Two things have happened not foreseen at the start of the campaign. One is the sudden spurt of Giuseppe Saragatfs and Ivan Matteo Lombardds inde- pendent (anti-Cozrimunist) "So-

(Footnote O'Brien: In the north, often, grandfather. father and son have been Socialist. They are deeply conscious of Socialisms international character. They can follow — and will change their vote because of - subtle differ- ences of Marxian interpretation and Socialist attitudes abroad.

5. The Roman Catholic Church. through its priests and the Lay Catholic Action, is gain! all out to defeat Communism.

(Footnote by O'Brien: Every- where in the Rod-tinged north the Church is time of the most powerful influences. It is a direct. battle between Church and Com- municm.

(Footnote by McKnight: Down south. prelates and priests no longer make any secret of their political activity. One Christian Democrat editor said: “It is p". Ish against cell.")

So. these correspondents believe, many Italians who enthusiastic- ally followed Italy's sharp post. waryswtng to the left will vote for parties whose social and econ- (mic programs they mistrust but. which promise to defend me country against Soviet expansion.

Olf course, it is true that in many, many cases the parents always live on the ragged edge of want and cannot put anything aside for their old age. Then naturally the children are under every obliga- tion to support them, and it is their duty to take care of them in than declining years.

TTILR-S

Nearly all parents who go to live with their children are quittars who give up too soon. Most of them have twenty years more of good work in them if they only had the will to struggle on and be inde- pendent But their children offer such an easy avenue of escape from the daily grind that they take it, without giving a thought to the burden they are laying upon them.

It. is oftenest mothers who are spiritual parasites upon their chil- dren. [Mothers may have plenty of money to maintain her own estab- lishment. or live in a hotel, but she has no life outside o! some beloved child, and so she fastens herself upon hini or her. Generally the child is a daughter and Mother goes to live with her. although aha knows perfectly well that. her son-in-law does norwant her, and that her presence in .tho houso is a menace to her daiightoi-‘s domestic pesos and happiness.

Nevertheless, Mother attaches herself so securely to bar dsimb- tor that she cannot be dislodged.
