NY moment now, you may be sure, some loud, and, dramatic volco is going to call upon us to stand firm for freedom, or something: to rally in defence of the integrity of Europe. Wo irs the audience, Adgeting restlessly, will decide, reasonably, that this is where we came in. For a day or two we shall be back In 1938, jumping at shadows. Then the top-form bullies will-with- draw to their respective sides, snarling, and we shall settle down to our good old familiar condition of indefinite anxiety.
That is what you get for living in Europe. It is not much of n pot for size, but it steams easily. The unhappiest people. In the world live in Europe, likewise the happiest, They have one thing hopelessly in common:, the aptitudo for insult.

UROPE being what it is, you could well imagine that nobody but a lunatic would return to. It gladly, I do, constantly, it only because I weary of having my race in quotation marks, In the last few weeks I have been in a community where it is necessary to sit on "European" benches, use "European" buses and hotels and staircases, go into post offices by the "European" entrance and generally move around in a European way in common with multitudes of people who were never nearer Europe than the south bank of the Zambest.
However, they are white, which is more than one can say of all one's 'chums at home. But "European"? You are only a European within cursing-range of Berlin.

There is a news-item going round South Africa now of a band of baboons who, after raiding a backveld form, fed chattering with their loot to the side of a ravine. There they paused to wrangle over their booty, hurling insults around as only baboons can, failing to notice the vengeance behind them. When the farmer arrived, tho baboons scattered madly, forgetting the ravine, plunged over the edge and were dashed 10 pleces.
Don't tell me baboons aren't human. In their country they alone behave like true Europeans.

P.5: The climax to this news-story, however, was that one baboon had seized as his share of the spoils the farmer's umbrella. As his pals fell to destruction, he found it open and parachuted, in some astonishment, to safety. As an allegory I would have made more of that, only somehow, in times of international strain, one hesitates to talk of umbrellas.
