The statistical report, compiled at the office of Compensation Com missioner John J. O'Connell, dis closes a total of 5000 persons signed waivers for pre-existing physical de- fleets in 1914 as compared to l2,943 in l943. The total in l942 was l0,- l49. In 194l, before the war rushed thousands of additional workers into factories, the waivers totaled 5,700.
 Despite the record number of workers in area jobs last year, the accident rate decreased, with 3,608 accidents reported to the compensa- tion commissioner as compared to 4,236 in l943. In l942 the total was listed at 4,l87. Minor accidents which occurred at plants and did not result in loss of time are not in- cluded in the total, since there is no requirement. of & report in such caSeS
 Agreements were made by employ CTS and employees for compensation payments in 3.608 cases last year an increase of l92 over the previous year. The number of persons who were unable to obtain payments for injuries, because of pre- existing de- fleets, as noted in waivers, was de- scribed as very few" A number of the accidents reported did not result in sufficient loss of time to necessitate compensation payments
 The report on waivers is believed to give clear evidence that job shifting has been subsiding in the Waterbury area Employees who go from one plant to another are re- quired to renew their waiver sigma lures, and the decrease by more than 5000 in the number of waivers indicates fewer workers may be shifting from one job to another Many of those who signed waivers are believed to have been new re- cruits in the labor market, many of the persons who are seriously handicapped.
 Tn biennial report filed in Hart ford by the board of compensation commissioners, of which Commis- sioner O'Connell is member, Il is disclosed a total of SIP 2,939,0l3 .71 was paid to injured employees oi Connecticut and their dependents Of that amount $5,219,398.48 was paid for medical, surgical, and hos. pital care. The report covers the period from Nov. 1, l942 to Nov. l944.
 During the two-year period. there were 46,659 industrial accidents re- ported to the compensation commis- sioners of the state. The waiver total was 8l .454, and the report states the figure in part represents gain in industrial employment The high total also resulted to some extent from job shifting, particular ly in l943, it is indicated.
 A total of 4,l02 compensation hearings, or trials, were held in the past two years, the board revealed Cases in which stipulated settle ments or voluntary agreements re- suit are not recorded as hearings The total number of voluntary agreements filed is listed at 3l,33l.

DREAM OF PEACE

No thoughtful person believes that the end of the
war with Japan brings peace to the world The armed
fighting has ceased nearly So and the surrender
only await the signatures of the vanqushed and the
victors. The final result made possible only after stu
pendous cost in lives and suffering, will be but
respite from the slaughter and destruction which have
been visited upon the world at almost practicable inter-
ais since when began to call themselves civil
lied Admittedly there have been resoute efforts to main
tain peace, but they served only to enghen the inter-
walls between wars and the failures have contributed in
small degree to the faastc idea that concord among the
peoples fthe world always temporary and that war
is inevitable.
Still there remain a goodly number of persons who
steadfastly hug the hope that as wars become
terrible and destructive they ultimately will alto
gether because too costly in lives and treasure The
atomic bomb whose power to destroy staggers the mag
alton adds to the hitherto unreaized hope that at last
we have reached the end of all wars Everywhere peo
pie would rush to embrace that Uopan dream the mind
could dismiss the tmedemonstrated tendency outsrp
any peaceful contrivance any weapon that has
been devised 1t is not unreasonable to speculate that the
future may bring weapons that will be as superior in

Letters To The
Guardian
SPEAKS FOR U. s. SOLDIERS

To the Editor of the Guardian:
Iwould like to express my opin-
ion of a $50 called" Senator, Bill
BIO, of Mississippi, who malicious
ly attacked every colored soldier
of the United States Army, in a
recent article Of "Time Magazine.
He referred to US as being worth
less in every field and type of
army duty that we are required to
perform. He also stated, chat
every colored soldier in Europe
is an insult to the prestige of Am
erica" Now, one can imagine how
l, and every other real American
feels WIN he reads such stupid
and ignorant statements as these.
l write not only to express my
feelings, but to answer for my
dead fellow-soldiers, who cannot
respond from their quiet graves,
not only here in Italy, but all over
he world.
AS long as any American vet
eran is living, he shall not, must
mot, and will not, let such lies as
those made by Bilbo, go uncheck-
ed! After all, why are they dead?
why are thy in hospitals all over
the world?--why are we hereto
rid the world of all evils, and to
make it safe for Democracy. Is
this what we call democracy? Bill
DO is only using Hitler's old the
Iory--divide and conquer-colored
against white--Catholics against
Jews and Protestants--rich against
poor, all Of which tends and does
break down the American Way
of Life"
There is a query in my mind
how can such man be chosen for
such an important office to re-
present the people, and how can
he still be allowed to make such
vile statements? I am also won
dering and anxiously awaiting the
results of the next election, to see
| if he is reelected, or will Ameri-
ca really carry out the "Democra-
tic Way of Life?"
Let us all, as veterans, do our
duty to make America the "Land
of the Free, and the Home Of the
Brave"

Register
Discharge PAPERS,
Veterans Urded

In a statement issued through
out the state, Postmaster Patrick
J. Connolly strongly urged AL
veterans of World War II who
are making applications for the
State bonus to be sure to register
their discharge papers.
According to Postmaster Con-
nelly, it is Required that veter-
ans shall tender their original
discharge papers when making
this application. Photostatic
copies shall not be accepted. It
has been observed that some vet
Grams are sending these valuable
papers by ordinary mail without
the protection provided by pos
tai registration, little realizing
that, in the event of loss these
veterans cannot receive another
ORIGINAL set of discharge papers.
The Post Office Department.
pointed out that, while it is nov
obligatory that these discharge
papers must be registered when
application for the bonus is
made, there should be a desire
by the veterans to porvide every
safeguard. Postal registration
not only provides the veteran
with a receipt that the papers
were mailed by him but the
Post Office Department likewise
retains a receipt signed for by
the accepting agent OF the Com
monwealth that these discharge
papers were received. Veterans
desiring to likewise secure a re-
ceipt from the accepting agent
upon delivery can make applica-
ton for such receipt at the time
the papers are being registered
at the postoffice. This extra re-
ceipt is secured for a very small
fee.

Rome, Carthage was wiped out,
utterly destroyed fro mthe map.
The same fate has hit Japan
who dared challenge the COM
merce of the West. The same
fate could still menace China,
it may yet threaten the ambi-
tons of Russia. Japan beat
back Russia's entry into her
''Pacific Basin" but Russia is
back again. Yet, events will show
that Russia is not welcomed by
the Western Powers who want
the Orient for themselves. Here
is the nucleus of Japan's de-
feat.
Hiro means magnanimouS
and Hito means exalted. Thus
Hirohito appears in the names
of most Japanese emperors, the
present ruler being the 124th.
The Japanese Emperor deity
dates back to $50 BIC. and that
is much longer than Christian
ity. Japanese Shinto worship
does not exclude Christianity,
but is baSically the love Of Japan
and its honorable ancestors.
Dethroning Hirohito, therefor,
might benefit Russian commun-
ism as a revenge against the
Christian nations for again in
terfering with Shinto religion.
The japanese Hirohito is the
Pope Of Japan. If he is cut
down confusion will reign. We
did net cut down the Pope
when Mussolini, his next door
neighbor, invaded Ethiopia to
start this terrible bloody war.
If we def1le the deities of Asia,
whether shinto, Mohammedan
or Buddhlsts, we shall incite a
religious war. Japan and all
Asia must now be wisely re-
created. The world must take
