While returning to Logan from the Lewiston parade Friday, we decided this subject (a bit shorter, to be sure, than the average thesis title) would be fine for a master's thesis.

So, quite natuially, the questions arose: How many such persons miss the parade, in an average community, each year? And why do they arrive late? Here aie results of consideiable research and contemplation: Taft-Hartle- people, Americans are a parade-lovinWhenever there's a celebration, there must Kay Nelson be a parade. Their fervor doesn't teach a pitch similar to that of Old Rome, or of Hitler's youth, or of Stalins marching legions. But the parade enthusiasm of Americans is considerable.. An American will awaken early oh the morning of a celebration, hine-u- p his car, and drive that car to Main Street, and park It pose-ou- t, at 7 a. m. The parade begins at 10. An American will stand in the hot sun for more than an hour, awaiting the procession if he cant find suitable parking space for his car. An American will ride aboard a float, holding a scythe or a gun, or grasping a flagpole, or reading a book, or glazed in bronze paint. He'll trudge block after block, with a baritone saxaphone hanging around his neck, or pulling a handcart piled high with sagebrush. Because, Americans love a parade. g Taft-Hartl- Taft-Hartle- ot (Irid.-Dem.- ut ff Taft-Hartl- But in America every year, there are 27 persons out of each 1000 who miss seeing the parade because of tardy arrival upon the scene.

The la'e 27 are divided into groups as follows: Twenty of them comprise four families ot an avciage of five persons each, and the remaining seven are miscellaneous Individuals a grandmother whose children disappointed her, and didnt come calling, a child who didn't want to hitch-u- p with family ties, and chose to "go it alone," a bachelor who couldnt get the breakfast dishes out of the way on time.

Now cheesB is a very minor eleeconment in America'i over-a- ll omy, but it is a considerable item in the export economy of a couple of small European countries which are on our side, namely Holland and Denmark. It hurt the Dutch and the Danes. They need dollar credit desperately and have few ways to get it. THEN COMES the episode of the merchant ships. In 1948 Denmarkk, which has a flair for building good ships, contracted with Russia to deliver seven tankers. The contract was made before Mutual Security agreements were made between the U. S. and Denmark. Denmark has now completed the first of these tankers and is ready to deliver it to Russia. Last week the U. S. Mutual Security Administration protested delivery of the tanker and warned that Denmark would risk losing American aid if she lived up to her contract with Russia. THE INCIDENT has created a cabinet crisis in Denmark and aroused considerable resentment amon gthe Danes. One government leader said: Why did the Americans have to make tneir protest now that the tanker is about to be delivered. They have known about the shipping deal all along. We are now placed In the terrible position of having to choose between committing a breach of contract (with Russia) and forfeiting the American aid on which our very existence depends.
