World Peace Depends On

American People Must Be More Tolerant, Less Critical
 of Great Ally Warns Lt=GOv. Snow in Address Here

Francisco conference. Many of our early Colonial leaders, he said, were citizens of the world vitally inter ested in the ideas that led to the French revolution and the English speculations on the rights of man
 Elihu Burritt, a blacksmith of New Britain Connecticut. pineered in the way to world peace, Lieut. Gov. Snow pointed out, when he established in Brussels in 1848 the Congress of Friends of Peace, which was later followed by annual meetings in Paris, Frankfort, Lon- don, Manchester, and Edinburgh.
 Emerson, Whitman
 Ralph Walso Emerson and Walt Whitman, visionary men of Amer ican letters, later took up the cause and at the time of the first world war their dream ripened into the more tangible form in the project of the League of Nations. the speak CT said in outlining the growth oi the plan for world peace.
 ''The visionary men who sat at the Versailles council were received witt Homeric laughter" MT. Snow K plained, when they returned to es' tablish the plan in their respective countries because the politica phases of the league were not han. dled skillfully and their enemie' were bent upon wrecking th' league"
 Emphasizing that the League wa not futile, MT. Snow said it has es tablished its purpose in breaking the solid core of isolationism whicl proved the first World War ha' been fought in vain, and which to day points the way toward lastin peace.
 Selfishness, Revenge
 With America and the other grea nations of the world today lookin toward an organizations that VII settle international difficultie amicably and without force, tn lieutenant-governor warned Amer jeans to watch for the barrier o language; the barrier of trade Il valry, produced by men intereste' in their own profits; and the bar rier of revenge of the defeated na l tions.
 "The men who we send to Con gress to shape our national pro gram must be men of imagination but they must also be men of inter national vision and internationa understanding if we are to talk leadership. The world looks to u to assume leadership. Our his torical background fitted us for th' task. We have succeeded in form ing 8 powerful federation out O many races and many creeds. II us the ends of the world are met, he said in conclusion.
 Lieut. Gov. Snow was introduced by Atty. Michael V. Blansfield.

ruled by a God-emperor is histori- cally erroneous. Japanese history is teeming with numerous cases or regicide or usurpation of the re- gency by relatives of the Imperial family or by powerful politicians, or even seizure of power by the Army generals when emperors were drowned at sea, exiled or impr!s- oned.
 Possible Agreement
 The current Tokyo radio en- phasis on this willingness to dis cuss terms may merely be tuned to the Potsdam Big Three meeting.
 Japanese policy of respecting the person of the emperor is tradi- tional, at least in modern politics. At Paris in 1919, after World War I, both Japan and the United States objected to including any chief exe- cutive of state as & war crim- inal. And that was the end of David Lloyd Georges campaign to "hane the kaiser".
 To most observers, anxious to trim Japan's wings and her aggressive ambitions for all time, however, the emperor is the apex of the pyramid which represents the Japanese mili- tary caste. It is the contention of many that if the apex is removed the entire pyramid will collapse anc with it Japanese militarism and Japanese aggression as well as th< dynasty which. in the past thret generations at least, bred them.

Father And Tot Suicides

San Francisco, July A.-(UP)- Fve-year-old Marilyn De Mont had no idea what death means" and joined her father in suicide from towering Golden Gate bridge be- cause of blind, implicit faith" in him, psychologists decided today.
 Authorities abandoned search for the bodies of Marilyn and her father, August, 37, in the swirling riptides of San Francisco Bay that dragged them away after the child took the lead in their 22O foot plunge yesterday from the bridge railing.
 Odd Reaction
 De Mont, an elevator operator had been ill. Psychologists were puzzled as to why Marilyn appar. ently seemed to have obeyed a par. ental command to leap into thu water.
 But Dr. J. c. Geiger, director oi public health in San Francisco said he believed Marilyn was toe young to have stopped to reason oud that her obedience would bring he1 harm.

Chinese-American Composite Wing Hits Jap Targets Hard In 13,OOO Sorties

The ratio of nationalities soon be- came one American to four Chi- nese.
 The Composite" in the wings designation means that 1t consists of bombers and fighters. It's strictly c bombing strafing job now, for there have been no Jap planes in this part of China for nine months. BOTTOMS UP
 Almost immediately upon the ar- rival of the first sQuadrons in Chinh they went on combat missions. And it wasn't long before the Japs learned that "dambay," the rnon- ieker adopted by . B-26 Mitchell bomber group, meant not only bot. toms up in q toast but also bottoms up to enemy chipping and whatnot. Col. 4. |. Bennett is the American wing commander.
 At hrSt American ofiiceFs watched over their Chinese charges ike hens over their broods. Simple little code words enabled these men whc did not speak the same language to keep track of one another by radio. Ding how" for example

Man FIeeced Of Money

Lynn, Mass, July N-(UP)-Wil- liam D. Martin, 55, went to g bank yesterday and withdrew $400.
 Walking along a street, he met a stranger. They got to talking, re- paired to a cafe for coffee, and a second stranger appeared.
 The conversation switched to banks. Stranger No. said they weren't safe. Martin scoffed and produced a handbook showing $4,000 in deposits to prove his faith in such institutions.
 Skill Game
 Stranger No. l said he'd bet $500 to $100 that Martin couldn't with draw his $4,000. Martin accepted the wager and stranger No. gave stranger No. 2 $500 to hold. Then all three went to the bank.
 Reporting the case to police to- day, Martin explained:
 T got the withdrawal slip all made out. Then I suddenly thought, what the heck am doing this for' and I tore up the slip. I told the guys the bet was off and they scrammed. figured I'd better re- port the case to police because those fellers might try that scheme on somebody who wasn't as smart as me-"
