Tomorrow will be the fourteenth oil
july. To the most of us that date will
mean no more than the thirteenth OF
June or the fifteenth of August, Yet
two years ago nearly everybody flew q
tiny tricolor or displayed the colors OF
France. All were glad and proud 10
celebrate the national holiday OF Amer
lcas ally. 'The war is over now. and
many have forgotten TO cheer the tri-
color. Some scarcely remember the
words of 'eThe Star Spanglod Banner
and few are those who could rise at the
first bars of ''The Marseillais. The
wartime fervor has cooled. and 1t is well.
Only it would also be well If tomorrow All
might forget the little misunderstand-
ings and chickering's that spolied the
ldyllie friendship with France 1ha'
existed for the first months OF the war
If but for one day of the year, on the
National holiday of a country, all might,
forget themselves and try to understand
without rancor or prejudice, the deals
and history of that nation, they would
hnd less of suspicion and more ot Trend
ship in America 5 relationship with the
rest of the world.
