Communists and Parades J'loljiibly flicrc isn't a sizable tily in America lhat luisn't been more or less annoyed by Communist tlcmoiistni- tiowi during tlic present business depression.

There are still many cities, however, where tlie nilint' ficials luive a lot to learn iiljonl tile way to handle such affairs. Tlifc state of Ohio recently illustrated botli the right and the wrong way. First, a group of Communists met to stage a "hunger parade" from Cleveland to the stale capital They were permitted to muki 1 the 140 interference. They made nil the speeches it hoy wanted to, paraded until their feet gave out, and nobody was any the worse. Then a group of Communists tried to parade in Youngstown.

Permission was refused. They tried to parade, anyway. -The police broke up 1 parade with clubs; four policemen and a number of Communists went to the hospital, and the agitators got a lot of free advertising of the kind they like '-When will'city officials learn that the wisest thing to do in such cases is to let the Reds parade and speechify all they want to? Good News For Sailors i the- depression has done nothing else, it, has at least helped out the sailors in the United Slates navy a little bit.

The which kcepj decks white ami glistening in true naval fashion, is one of the meanest things to operate imaginable.

After spending half ail hour on his knees, wearing the skin off of his knuckles and getting a crick in his back by holystoning obscure covnev, the sailor usually begins to wish be had never enlisted. If economy, born of the depression, has the holystone OUT OUR WAY from the daily routine, tliu sailor's life is going to be whole lot sunnier.
