SHOWING THE " Af

Had we been told 10 years ago that
within a decade French and German war
veterans would sit down together at dln-
ner and be friends. we would have doubt
ed it. In fact it would have been more
than a doubt-we would have said 1t Just
couldn't happen and would have 1oono
many who agreed with us.
Yet that is Just what happened last
night in New York.
Mayor Walker had arranged, prior to
the arrival of the French flyers Coste
and Belonte. for dinner to be given in
honor of Captain Wolfgang Won Gronau
and his companions, who crossed the At
lantic some days prior to the Frenchmen.
The mayor decided at the last moment
to send an invitation to Coste and Bel
lonte to attend the affair and the invita-
ton was readily accepted. Colonel and
Mrs. Lndbergh were also there.
Coste, Bellonte and Won Gronau, veter-
ans of the World War, were introduced
and shook hands then sat down as
friends to discuss whatever happened to
come up in the matter of conversation.
1t is men like these who can do so much
toward achieving peace and friendship
among nations. Those who have faced
the real terrors of war, seldom retain
their grudges, especially against brave
foe 1t is the fellows who did the least
and veil the loudest who cause much OF
the ill-feeling between different national
tiles.
Mayor Walkers idea was happy one
indeed. 1t will become known in France
and Germany, causing thousands in those
countries to accept the fact that after all
men are men. They may differ on many
things and still remain men who respect
each other. With respect is bound to
come understanding and friendship.
