‘ Human rights can be more successfully exercised in a democracy/’ fcaid Dr. Neumeyer. * Democracy has a wider base. It depends on a people, while a dictatorship depends on one man.’’
TRACES HERITAGE
In discussing the American way, he traced the steps of our heritage starting with England's Common Law. the Petition of Rights, and the Magna Charta. He pointed cut that immigrants brought with them the strong desire for freedom. • Their efforts were rewarded by tlie ] Declaration of Independence, expounding man's unalienable rights.
* In the Bill of Rights are the ! four freedoms and six rights of man, guarded by the check and balance system of our government,” added Professor Neumeyer.
He stated that the safeguarding of human rights is being attempted in some form. He pointed out that Australia prides herself on being the most conscious of her social responsibilities and that Czechoslovakia gives special attention to minority groups.
CJTES RUSSIANS
He listed the civil liberties outlined in the Russian constitution. These are the right to work, to rest end leisure, to maintenance during old age. to education, equality cf sexes and races, and freedom of worship.
He concluded his talk by emphasizing the importance o: the protection of liberty, life, security, property, and equality of citizenship.
NANKING. China, Friday. Feb.
; 11—<l.P'—The flight of, the Nationalist peace mission was post-j poned again toaay at the request ■ of the Chinese Communists.
The postponement came as a high government source said that President Li Tsung Jen and other ; top government authorities had joined Sun Fo in a belief that the Communists do not desire peace or early negotiations.
A telephone call to Dr. W. W. Yen, heading the peace mission from Shanghai, instructed the government delegates to wait until j Sunday. The doctor and his associates were pi^pared to leave Wednesday when a similar telephone | call advised them to wait until to- ! day.
NO REASON GIVEN
The postponement was announc- ! ed by Kan Chia Hou, the personal representative of Li Tsung Jen. j Kan has been the liaison officer ! Detween the government and pri- I vate missions. He annouced no rea- | son was given for the Communist’s desire for delay.
A high source said that the pres- j iaent was expected to go to Canton shortly to cooperate with Sun Fo and the cabinet in beginning j final preparations for a iast ditch battle.
Tlie source said Li probably j would continue to remain part-time in Nanking as a symbol of the government's willingness to j talk peace but that meanwhile, in view of "the collapse of peace ne- j gotiations," the government will .' rush preparations for the expected | Communist spring offensive against j the Yangtze line.
STOP FORTIFYING
Only yesterday, civic leaders ask- j ed Li to stop fortifying the Yangtze river line and declare Nanking j and Shanghai open cities.
The source said United States j aid coupled with a broad grant ot ; supervisory authority may again b° j sought both in the military and j economic fields. The Government, | he said, already had mapped a tax j reform program which would be offered £us a talking point to justify j such a request.

Each person is expected to set a price for the book he wants to sell and price wars are encouragea. Jun Roberts, president of the Council on Atomic Implications and Trovet in charge of the book exchange project, expressed hope that everyone with an SC textbook gathering dust around the house will be present this afternoon to make money and meet people without joining a pyramid club.
