But Germany in the heart of
Europe, surrounded by sew friends
and old enemies, is under suspi
cion. It is an outpost against Rus
sia, but with reservations.
Still, the treaty with Germany
may turn out to be the most pro
gressive and far-reaching step in
the history of Europe. For plans
afoot now envision Germany as
part of a United Europe.
In fact, the document released
by the State Department explain
ing the treaty with Germany makes
allowance for a European federa
tion in tne luture.
It does so by saying the present
agreement can be changed If East
and West Germany should be
united or if there is a "creation of
a European Federation or any
other occurrence."
The treaty with Japan is more
complete than the one with Ger
many. For instance, the German
treaty doesn't aDDlv to Berlin, nart
of which the Allies occupy and
which, because it's in the Russian
zone, is a possible trouble spot.
Tne Allies retain control of their

RESERVATION
While the treaty with Germany
gives it practically full freedom
over its domestic affairs, the Allies
retain the right to step in by de
claring a state of emergency any
time they .think the German gov
ernment can't handle things. For
instance, a rebellion.
These limitations on Germany,
or rather the Western German
Republic, since Russia occuules
the Eastern zone, provide the Ger
man rabble - rousing nationalists
and pacifists with talking points.
But if the German treaty shows
anything it is that the Allies want
to keep Germany on their slate.

We shall see hereafter what
advantage this brings to the

PARADOX ' ,
It is a curious paradox that
despite these uncomfortable reall
ties British policy 'still calls for
recognition of Mao. Theoretically
there may be sound International
law in support of accepting a re
glme which has full control of the
area it rules. But in practice
British recognition has been a
fiasco. The British diplomatic
representative at Peking has been
sieadlly snubbed since his arrival
more than two years ago. . ,

Why Is Friday Popular

By PAl'L W. HARVEY Jit.
SALEM Ifl Three men now are
waiting to be executed In the Ore
gon Prison's Ir-thul gas chambor,
und that brought tm tills question:
Why Is Friday railed Hangman's
Day?
Many states execute their imir
rteieis on Friday, as do most Eur
opean commies.
A search ol stale library rclcr
erne books brought out the fact
that the custom has existed alnco
I lie Middle Ages, or somo BOO years
ago.
Some sources think that because
Christ was crucified on Fiid..y, the
custom arose to executo criminals
that day for what small comfort It
might glvo Uio criminal to know
lies dying on Uio same day as
Christ.
Other authorities Ihlnk Friday la
the lavored execution day because
Friday has been considered an un
lucky day. But they add that It
probably booiinio known an mi un
lucky day brcuttso ol the Cruel-
lixion.
