'remier Stalin naznanil losego sporazuma s Perzijo
Sovjetske čete se umaknile iz vzhodnih kta-je v dežele %
IsEJA VARNOSTNEGA SVETA
London, 26. marca.-Premier
je naznanil sklenitev spo-ima s perzijsko vlado glede (a sovjetskih čet iz Perzije. Seznanilo vsebuje odgovor na lianje, katero je stavil Stali-Hugh Baillie, predsednik neriske časniške agenture Ditcd Press.
je poslal kablogram kalinu, naj komentira izjavo livšoga britskega premier j a hirchilla, da je hitra akcija s rani članov varnostnega sveta ruženih narodov glede rešitve zijskega problema nujna in otrebna.
Stalinov odgovor je prva ia Vest, da je bila preteča ptovna kriza odvrnjena s skle-utvijo sporazuma med Rusijo Perzijo. Poročila iz Tehera-pr-avijo, da so ruske čete za-stile kraje v vzhodnem delu trzije.
Bntska vlada je naznanila, da i dva člana parlamenta odlete-' Teheran z namenom študije
uacije v Perziji. To sta Misel Foot, laborit. in časnikar, brigadier A. H. Head, kon-
vativec.
r Attlee je zavrnil su-lijo, naj aranžira sestanek s am. na kateterfi riaj bi* javljala o perzijskem pro-li in drugih vprašanjih. De-f je. da sestanek v tem času ni Wen. Zunanji urad je na
ženih narodov odločila in izbrala Ameriko za svoj sedež. Storili bomo vse, da se boste počutili kot doma. Doma Združenih narodov ne more biti nikjer, če ne bomo delali skupno in v soglasju za mir in svobodo. Ameriško ljudstvo bo kooperiralo z vami v vseh ozirih, da se zaščiti in zajamči mir po vsem svetu."
Byrnes je imel kratek govor, v katerem je naglasil, da narodi; kakor posamezniki, morajo storiti vse za izravnavo sporov, ki se pojavijo. ,Nobena država nima pravice do samovoljne akcije. Če se konflikti ne morejo izravnati s prijateljskimi pogajanji, morajo biti predloženi v rešitev članom varnostnega sveta.
Člane varnostnega sveta je v imenu newyorške države pozdravil governer Thomas Dewey. Kakor Byrnes, je tudi on apeliral za mirno izravnavo mednarodnih sporov.

Jamali je orsal razmah komunističnega gibanja v arabskem svetu. Dejal je, da je naravni razvoj. Gibanje se je za-želo z vstopom Rusije v vojno in od takrat stalno narašča, zlasti med mladino. Deklaracije britskih in ameriških državnikov v prilog Židom so eden izmed vzrokov izgubljanja vere in zaupanja v zapadne demokracije.
"Na sploSno se lahko reče, da Rusija podpira težnje arabskih ljudstev." je rekel Jamali. "Te so politične in ekonomske. Rusija pomaga arabskim deželam v Dri/adevaniih. katerih cilj je vikanje življenskega da."

Njegova izjava v soglasju s krščanstvom
Rim, 26. marca.—List Osser-vatore Romano, glasilo Vatikana, je pozdravit Izjavo ruskega premierja Stalina, da vsi narodi hočejo in želijo mir, ker je v soglasju s krščanstvom. List pravi, da je bila izjava poziv v prilog miru.
"Medtem, ko vemo, da so na svetu ljudje, ki prisegajo na mir, ko plameni vojne še tlijo pod njihovimi nogami, se je o-glasil načelnik velike politične sile in izjavil, da je treba zanetiti plamen miru," pravi list. "Dobe se ljudje, ki dvomijo v Stalinove namene in motive, toda ti demonstrirajo manj krščanstva. Oni, ki se pripravljajo za vojno, ne morejo biti glasniki miru."
Glasilo Vatikana omenja tudi Stalinovo deklaracijo, da sovjetska Rusija ne ograža svetovnega miru. Dalje citira manifest, katerega je izdal Nikolaj Lenin v septembru 1. 1915 proti vojni v imenu ruskega socializma.

Morrison je odločno zavrnil konservativce, ki so predlagali ustavitev izvajanja programa podržavljenju 'industrij. Parlament je opozoril na svojo obljubo, katero je dal zadnjo jesen, da industrije, ki so bodo izkuzale uspešne v produkciji, ne bodo podržavljene.
Odločitev glede pod rža vi jen j a jeklarske industrije še ni padlu.

vloga atomske bombe v svetovni politiki
Predsednik Truman revidiral tvoje stališče
ODMEV SOVJETSKE KRITIKE
Waahlngton. D. C., 26. marca.
—Atomska bomba igra vodilno vlogo v drami, ki se odigrava na svetovnem odru. Stara politika moči se ponavlja. Dejstvo, da Amerika poseduje atomsko bombo, vpliva na akcije drugih držav in razplet mednarodnih dogodkov.
Razplet se očituje v naznanilu predsedniku Trumana o odlo-ž i t v i preizkušnje atomskega atomskega bombardiranja boj-nin ladij. On je zavzel sta)Išče, da bi bila preizkušnja, ki naj bi demonstrirala svetu, da je Amerika edina sila, ki lahko diktira mir, slaba poteza V momentu, ko ko je komisija Združenih* narodov za atomskp energijo na delu in sestavlja načrte, da se atomska bomba postavi izven zakona kot vojno orožje.
V Washingtonu še vedno ugibajo, kaj je ruski poslanik Andrej Gromyko povedal Truma-nu, ko se je sestal z njim zadnji petek v Beli hiši. Kmalu po sestanku je Truman naznanil, da je odložil bombardiranje bojnih ladij z atomskimi bombami. Sovjetski tisk je kritiziral priprave za preizkušnje in trdil, da hoče Amerika pokazati svetu svojo oboroženo pest.
PrMI preizkušnji so protestirali tudi ameriški krogi. Izrekli ko se proti uničenju bojnih ladij. Truman je prišel v zagato zaradi opozicije. ' Značilno je dejstvo, da je odložil preizkušnjo po konferenci z ruskim poslani komr
Mnenje prevladuje, da je Gromyko izročil Stalinovo noto Tru-manu.
Atomsku bomba je vrgla črno senco na ves svet. Znanstveniki, ki so jo producirali, so že večkrat izjavili, da ne sme biti izključna posest posamezne države, temveč mora priti pod mednarodno kontrolo.
Senator Pepper, demokrat iz Floride, je nedavno predlagal uničenje vseh atomskih bomb, zaeno pa je svetoval, naj Amerika sklene pogodbo z drugimi državami, ki naj bi vsebovala garancijo, da bo atomska energija služila le mirovnim namenom.
Bojkotiran je volitev v Grčiji
Stališče narodne osvobodilne fronte
Atene, Grčija, 26. marca.—Čez 10,000 ljudi se je udeležilo shoda narodne osvobodilne fronte (EAM), ki se je odločila za boj-kotiranje splošnih volitev, ki se bodo vršile prihodnjo nedeljo. Osvobodilna fronta je kombinacija levičarskih grup, ki so se borile proti okupacijskim silam v teku vojne.
Glavni govornik na shodu je bil George Partsalides, tajnik o-svobodilne fronte in komunist On je udrihal po vladi in pozi* val na bojkotirunje volitev. Ostro je obsodil rojaliste in fašiste ki imajo oporo pri reakciji, pohvalil pa je one, ki so v zadnjih tednih resignirali kot člani vlade v znak protestu, ker vztraja pri zahtevi, da se morajo volitve vršiti na določeni datum.
Med onimi, ki so resignirali sta George Kafantlarls, bivši premier, in John Sophianopou-los, bivši zunanji minister. Slednji je tudi govoril in pojasnil vzrok resignacije. On je bil član grške delegacije, ki se je udeležila prve konference Združenih narodov v San Franclseu.
Sophianopoulos je dejal, da se je zaman trudil na konferenci v San Franciscu, da vzbudi zanimanje prominentnih oseb za grška vprašanja. Iz tega razloga se je po povratku v Grčiji pridružil opoziciji, ki se je odločila za bojkotiranje volitev.

Hutchins kritizira ameriško politiko
Gladitev poti za vojno z Rusijo
Los Angeles, Cal., 26. marca.
—Robert M. Hutchins, kancslar člka&ke univerze, je ostro obsodil ameriško politiko in naglasil, da gladi pot vojni z Rusijo. A-merika bo čez pet let v vojni z Rusijo, če se ne bo odpovedala politiki, da mora sila narekovati mir.
"Truman, Byrnes, Vanden-berg in Churchill klepetajo n vzdrževanju miru z okovano pestjo, ne zavedajo pa se dejstva, da sila pomeni vojno," je dejal. "Nikakor ne morejo razumeti, da nI več mogoča zmaga v vojni. Zaradi svojih predsodkov in nesposobnosti v reševanju problemov v dobi atomske bombe korakajo naprej po poti v vojno z Rusijo."
Hutchins je omenil Izjave znanstvenikov, "da bo sleherna industrijska država imela atomsko bombo v jx'tili li tih, Cr ne prej. Samo p«'t let Imamo š< časa za zgraditev podlage miru Grožnje z atomsko bombo niso metoda, ki naj bi navdahnila zaupanje v mirovne namene Amerike. Pojem držanja tajnosti a-tomske energije pod vojaško kontrolo je v bistvu grožnja Rusiji. Ako bi mi bili v istem |>o-ložaju kot je ItiiHlja. bi delali isto kot dela Rusija ali še slab-4tf.. Ako nas bi skušala ustrahovati, bi prav tako reagirali kot reagira ona v prepričanju, da i-ma proti sebi Ameriko in da Jo slednja hoče uničiti.
Amerika nai bi'skrbela, da bo organizacija Združenih narodov funkcionirala. Priznati moramo da ta ne moi« rcSjti vseli problemov. Koneni cilj naj bi bi) ustanovitev svetovne države, toda ta cilj Imi dosežen, če bomo zavrgli zastarelo Idejo o narod'-ni auverenltetl '

murray za omejitev jur1sdik-cijskih stavk
Predsednik CIO govoril na konvenciji avtne unije
TEKMA MED THO-MASOM IN REU-THERJEM
Atlantic City, N. J.. 26. marca.
—Philip Murray Je v svojem govoru na konvenciji unije združenih avtnlh delavcev predlagal, naj Kongres industrijskih organizacij, čigar predsednik je, ustanovi posebni arbitražni odbor za izravnavo notranjih sporov in omejitev jurisdlkcijskih stavk. Apeliral Je na aVtno unijo, naj sledi zgledu jeklarske In drugih unij CIO in ustanovi arbitražni odbor, zaeno pa je opozoril delodajalce, naj se vzdržujejo provokaelj, katerih namen je ustvaritev razkola med delavci.	•
Murray je omenil, da nekateri krogi zvračajo krivdo za stavke na voditelje unij CIO, namesto na delegate, ki so se udeležili konference v Washlngtonu v novembru preteklega leta, katero je sklical predsednik Truman. Te ho se udeležili reprezentanti (ielavcev in delodajalcev, ki pa niso izpolnili obligacij napram ameriškemu ljudstvu. Odgovornost za to morajo prevzeti reprezentanti Zveze ameriških tovarnarjev, Ameriške trgovske zbornice In pa delavski voditelji kot rta William Green in John L, Lewis, Oba sta se postavila na stran delodajalcev v pobijanju resolucije o mezdah. Če bi bila sprejeta, bi bile stavke v jeklarski in drugih industrijah odvrti jene. Murray Je obsodil tudi uporabljanje državnih policajev v Michiganu In Pennsylvanlji za razbijanje ntavk.
Tekma za predsedništvo unije se naduljuje. Za to pozicijo ne potegujeta R. J. Thomas, sedanji predsednik, In Walter P. Reuther, podpredsednik. Thomas ima oporo pri komunistih. Mnenje prevladuje* da bo Thomas ponovno Izvoljen za predsednika,
Oba, Thomas in Reuther, sta sklicala zborovanje svojih pristašev. Thomasovo zborovanje sta aranžirala George Addes, tajnik blagajnik unije, in Richard T. Frankensteen, |M>dprod-sednik. Slednji je izjavil, da ni kandidat. Odločitev bo padla v sredo, ko I h »do delegati volili.

' Co -ie.da seradijoto-Ja vzroka store v vec slučajih e napake namenoma Eden okoVje, ker hoče vsako zdru-društvo le svojega člana za Uleeata. ne da bi dalo prednost L šemu društvu, ki ima mor-Tsposobnejso osebo. Drugič: L tudi mržnje do nepriljubljena člana, dasi ima lahko spo Gosti. Tretjič: nezanimanje „ volilni red. Četrtič: opazovalci ki opazijo volilne nerodnosti, toda jih ne prijavijo takoj |ob času volitev na seji. Petič: Lotovim tajnikom zadostuje, da Ena društvo 100 članov, dasi ■pravila govore o dobrostoječih »nih. kar pomeni, da mora i-eti 100 članov plačan asesment |v mesecu volitev in pred volit-ii, drugače niso dobro sto-
Torej za društva, ki sc hočejo _ iiti v svrho izvolitve delegata, bi bilo priporočljivo, da bi e že prej zedinila, četudi ^o šti-i društva združena, da bi nomi-irala samo dva kandidata, tako bi bilo treba ožjih volitev, ki v običaju, če so trije ali štir-kandidati. Tisti, ki so izvo-iii, se naj bi sami pobrigali, je vse sporočeno takoj v glav-urad. Tam, kjer se hočejo lati zapreke in klubovanju, ij zahtevajo takojšnjo rešitev, jo naj rešuje nepristranski Ibor. predno zadevo dobi v ro-poverilni konvenčni odbor. Dalje bi bilo potrebno, da bi ;oj, ko je volitev končana pri kem združenem društvu, za-atili vse listke z imeni kan atov, tako bi jih lahko pre-al poseben odbor, ako bi pri-do spora, da so bile volitve ravilne. Kjer so trije ali kandidati, vedite, da odlo-adpolovična vseh volilcev, a se udeležili volitev. Ako 10 volilcev, je nadpolovična Klasov, torej mora toliko gla-r prejeti oni, ki je pravilno iz l]en. Ako ni noben kandidat 7*141 glasov, morajo biti po-mo volitve med onima dve-• ki sta prejela največ glasov. Da to sporočam, je vzrok, ker Pisnik 12. redne konvencije ktozuje take napake, na katere p opirajo oni, ki hočejo okrožne »litve. O priporočanih okrož-volitvah se bom lahko po-»<je spomnil.

mesta Chicaga. Nastopili bodo tudi naši lokalni mladi talenti kot je miss Rozie Vuksinich.
Ker bo ta priredba dobrodošlica za naše člane-veterane, bo vstopnina tako nizka, da se bo lahko priredbe udeležil sleherni član in članica. Ob tej priliki tudi prosimo naša bratska društva, naj na omenjeni dan ne prirejajo svojih zabav, temveč se rajši udeleže naše priredbe in nam tako pomagajo do lepšega moralnega uspeha, mi pa jim bomo ob sličnih prilikah vrnili po-set.

VESELICA v korist STARE domovine
Summit, 111. — Naznanjam članstvu društva Summit 707 SNPJ, da je bilo sklenjeno na zadnji redni mesečni seji z dne 17. marca, da priredimo veselico, katere dobiček bo šel za pomoč sirotam v stari domovini.
Veselica se bo vršila 26. maja 1946. Predvajani bodo filmi "Ljubljana pozdravlja osvoboditelje" in "Osvobojenje Belgra-da." Prosim sosedna društva, da ne prirejajo veselic na ta dan. Vstopnina je samo 50c. Vstopnice dobite pri članih društva. Kraj in druge podrobnosti bo pravočasno poročal odbor.
Kakor je razvidno iz naših ča sopisev, prirejajo društva zabave in veselice, katerih dobiček je namenjen za naše trpeče brate in sestre, zato je pravilno, da storimo tudi mi svojo dolžnost do tistih, ki so toliko trpeli v zadnji vojni.

že mnogo let in spremenilo delavski list v navadno krpo.
Nadalje br. Molek med drugim priporoča tudi tole: "Ured ništvo in drugi člani lahko pri poročajo politične kandidate v Prosveti ob volitvah le tedaj, kadar to dovoli gl. odbor." To besedilo bi odobraval, če bi bil sedajni gl. odbor izvoljen še nadalje, ker je večina sedajnih gl. odbornikov naprednega mišljenja, kar so pokazali že v preteklosti s tefti, da so povrnili Prosveti zopet delavske principe, na katerih je- bila ustanovljena. Toda konvencija lahko izvoli v gl. odbor osebe, ki so pristaši obstoječega sistema in tako bi bila Prosveta zopet polna priporočil raznih političnih kandidatov, pristašev starih strank. Zatorej priporočam, naj izostane iz Pro-svete vsako priporočilo političnih kandidatov, dokler se ne pojavi močna delavska stranka na obzorju s principom razredno zavednega delavstva.

razprava o priporočilih Konvenciji
Milwaukee, Wis. — Nahajamo se v konvenčnem letu in dose-daj sem opazil le par važnih raz prav za spremembo pravil, katere sta podala br. Novak za volitve delegatov po okrožjih, in br. Molek o jednotinih publikacijah. Kar se tiče volitev po o-krožjih, se popolnoma strinjam z br. Novakom in sem o tem že pred letom napisal razpravo in danes le priporočam, da konvencija sprejme Novakov načrt. Več hočem pa razpravljati o priporočilu br. Molka glede smernic jednotinih publikacij.
V svojem priporočilu piše: "Vse neuradno gradivo za vse številke glasila Prosvete mora biti urejeno v svobodomiselnem in ameriško demokratičnem smislu in mora biti usmerjeno na vsestrani napredek navadnega človeka."
Ne gre mi v glavo in ne morem razumeti, kako brat Molek razume ameriško demokracijo, katero izvajajo v tako čudni obliki. Ali ni Amerika storila vse, da se pahne ljudstva Jugoslavije, Italije, Grčije in.drugih držav nazaj v sužnost, v kateri so jih držale zapravljive kraljevske dinastije? Ali nima fašizem v Španiji in Rimu, kateremu na-čeluje papež, največjo zaslombo v ameriški demokraciji? Kaj pa ameriški sužnji v južnih državah, ki še danes čakajo svobode? Ker je ameriška demokra cija največja zavora vsakega e-konomskega napredka za delavce, bi torej rad vedel, kako naj Prosveta v imenu te demokracije piše v dobrobit in napredek navadnega človeka?
To so vprašanja, na katere je potrebno pojasnilo, predno z a-meriško "demokracijo" okrasimo pravila naše napredne organizacije SNPJ, ki je delavska ustanova in njene publikacije morajo pisati v duhu in na podlagi principov razrednega boja proti kapitalističnemu sistemu, ako hoče še nadalje ostati delavska ustanova in to vzlic temu, če se nahaja kje močna delavska stranka ali ne.
Pomniti ie treba: da se delavstvo po vsefh svetu danes bori proti krivičnemu sistemu, v katerega ga je pognal oderuški kapital in to posebno tukaj v A-rneriki, zato je dolžnost delavskega časopisja dokazovati trm boritoljem. da je največja krivda brezposelnosti in revščine profitni sistem, katerega je pa mogoče odpraviti le s pomočjo delavske stranke. To bo od strani naših publikacij najlepše merilo in kažipot v bodočnosti.
Vsled zgorajšnih argumentov sklepam. da bi amendiranje točke 36 jednotinih pravil v smislu Molkovega priporočila odprlo Prosvetine kolone tistim elementom, proti katerim se bori
VABILO NA PRIREDBE
Johnstown, Pa.—Tu smo imeli 24. marca filme iz Jugoslavije. V soboto, 30. marca, pa bo Slovenski delavski dom priredil zabavo za vse slovenske vojake in člane SDD,
Ob tej priliki tudi naznanjam, da bo iftielo žensko društvo Naša sloga 600 SNPJ veselico 27. aprila v Slovenskem domu v Moxhamu. Vljudno vabim vse rojake in rojakinje, da se gotovo vidimo 27. aprila v Moxhamu.
Ko čitam v Prosveti o kruto-stihv ki so jih morali prestati naši bratje in sestre iz stare domovine, se mi oči solzijo. Tudi jaz sem prejela pismo od brata Jožeta, ki je bil v ujetništvu v zloglasnem Buchenwaldu. Njega so rešili zavezniki.
Brat John pa je bil žrtev razmer in je umrl mučeniške smrti v lagerju. Ako dobim natančnejših informacij, bom poslala pismo v našo priljubljeno Pro-sveto. Upam, da je bila to res zadnja vojna.

se 2*hvaljujem izvršnemu odseku SNPJ za hitro in točno izpla čitev posmrtnine za najino ljubljeno hčerko Jennie, ki je umrla tako tragično.
Dne 16. februarja popoldne so se zbrali v Pittsburghu, da se odpeljajo v Wheeling, W. Va., na obisk k hčeri njene gospodinje, pri kateri je Jennie delala Gospodinja, Jennie in nekaj drugih so bili skoro že na cilju, nekaj milj od Wheelings, takrat pa se je zgodila nesreča. Ne moremo razumeti, da so bili drugi le malo potolčeni, ona pa je dobila težke poškodbe in je ležala v nezavesti 24 ur, nato pn je tako lepo zaspala v miru, da ne bi mogel verjeti, ako ne bi bil zraven. Naj počiva v miru' Jernej in Frances Bohinc.

Danes je 27. marca, velik zgodovinski dan za vse Jugoslovane. Pred petimi leti je jugoslovansko ljudstvo preobrnilo vlu-do princa Pavla, ki je kapitulirala pred Hitlerjem, podpisala pakt ter dovolila nemški armadi prehod skozi Jugoslavijo, da napade Grčijo, ki se je tako junaško borila proti hordam fašistične Italije.
Hitler je nato 6. aprila napadel Jugoslavijo, nakar je v kratkem času kraljevska vlada pobegnila v inozemstvo, jugoslovanske armade so se p« poda}*, V sredi aprila sv Je iugoslovan-skq ljudstvo znašlo že pod naj-brutalnejšo nemško in italijansko okupacijo, toda to ljudstvo se ni podalo, ni upognilo tilnika pred krutim zmagovalcem, temveč v trumah bežalo v gozdove in gorovje in organiziralo močno in efektivno gerilsko organizacijo, odpor, ki je služil za vzor vsem podtalnim organizacijam v Evropi.
Titovi partizani so zadivili ves svet, posebno pa zavezniški generalni štab, kajti zadrževali so 20 osiščnih divizij v času, ko je bila zavezniška zmaga v Afriki na tehnici. Dokumenti generala Haiderja, ki je bil tedaj načelnik nemškega generalnega štaba, spričujejo, da jo nepred-videvani jugoslovanski odpor povzročil zavlečonje napada na Rusijo za dva meseca in tako so Jugoslovani veliko pripomogli da ni moerla nemška vojsk« zavzeti Moskve, temveč je doživela strahovit poraz.
Kdor zasleduje stališče sovjetske Rusije do Jugoslavije, lahko vidi, da sovjeth niso pozabili Jugoslovanov in njihove herojske borbe proti nacifašizmu, dočim bi rad zapadni svet še naprej brisal svoje čevlje ob jugoslovanske "kmete." Sicer pa je pričakovati, da bodo dali Američani in Angleži vsem prednost pred Slovani, kajti že od nekdaj so se sami smatrali za izvoljence, za njimi pridejo drugi neslo-vanski narodi, v tretjo kategorijo pa Slovani. Toda časi se spreminjajo in gospodje "zapadnja-ki" se bodo polagoma morali navaditi jesti iz iste sklede kot slovanski "kmetje."
Zadnjo nodoljo. 24. marca, je društvo Sloga 16 SNPJ v Mil-waukeeju praznovalo svojo 40-letnico obstoja. Proslava je bila krasen uspeh in dvorana S. S. Turn je bila nabita občinstva. Program je bil zelo pester, kajti dramski, odsek kluba št. 1 JSZ je gostoval z igrq "Hiša gospoda Harringtona," poleg tega pa je bilo še več drugih točk.
Na popoldanskem programu je nastopil kot glavni govornik gl. predsednik SNPJ Vincent Cainkar, ki ga je predstavil predsednik društva br. Jenko, nato je med drugim in tretjim dejanjem spregovoril nekaj besed Filip Godina, upravnik Pro svete, zvečer pa j«' sledil pevski in glasbeni program. Lepo je zapel nekaj narodnih pesmi zbor Naprej, na harmoniko je zaigral več komadov prav lepo sin |x»-znanega Vidmarja in zaplesala sta nekaj narodnih in akrobatskih plesov gibčna bratec in sestrica Ivančič.
Po programu se je pričel pl«*.s in prosta zabava. Naši poznani rnilvvauški društveniki so imeli polne roke dela. Kad bi se raz-govarjal z društveniki, ki jih o-sebno poznam "'i pa po imenu, toda čas je hitro tekel iri tako sem moral iti na pot proti Chi cagu. Vsem najlepša hvala /n gostoljubnost'
Prihodnja Mj« društva Slavi je 1 SNPJ se l>o vršila v peti k 12 aprila. K« r se bližamo konvenciji, bi bilo na rncy>tu, da bi se od sedaj naprej udeleževali sej v večjem številu in podali sugestije v konst društva in jed-note.

V tem članku se borno dotaknili izvajanj, ki jih je imel br. Ivan Molek v Pros vet i (J. marca.
Očivldno je, da hr Molek smatra, da je Prosveta zašla na "stran ska pota": «1« se ne drži smernic, ki jih je določila zadnja konven clja. Ako bi kdo hotel, bi kaj takega mogoče res lahko formalno dokazal, toda na povsem drugi točki kot jo imu v mislih for. Molek.
Zadnja konvencija, ki :>e je vršila sredi vojne histerije, tik pred pogrezom Amerike v vojno, je med drugim sprejela tudi resolucijo, s katero je na vsej črti podpirala -zunanjo politiko Rooseveltove administracije, oziroma vlade. V tisti resoluciji ni nikjer definirano, na kateri točki jednota in njeno glasilo podpira ameriško zunanjo politiko in na kateri ne, marveč je govorila na splošno in uključevsls vse, slabe in dobre strani. In ker so vsi sklepi konvencije veljavni do prihodnje konvencije, je tudi ta "omnibusna" resolucija še danes v vehavi, toda le na papirju—kot Atlantski carter, štiri svobodščine in še marsikaj drugega . . .
Torej če hi se hoteli držati te resolucije, ki ima enako legalno veljavo kot vse <lruge resolucije in sklepi konvencije, bi morali vsi člani jednote, posebno pa Prosveta in vsi drugi funkcionarji jednote, še danes na vsoj črti drveti za vlado in jo podpirati na vseh točkah niene zunanje politike. Yes, zagovarjati bi morali tudi njeno stališč«- tflede tržaškega vprašanja—da mora velik del naših primorskih Slovencev in Hrvatov še dalje ostati pod Italijo! Zagovarjati bi morali tudi—"power politics," tajno diplomacijo, vse kupčije in tajne sporazume, ki so bili storjeni med veliko trojico v Teheranu, Jalti, Polsdamu ali kjer koli. Metati bi morali tudi |>oh na pod noge Titovi jugoslovanski vladi in aplavdirati Churchillovemu govoru, ki ga je imel pod Trumanovo patronanco v Fullonu, Mo. .
. Vse to se mogoče absurdno vidi. Ampak taka absurdnost je biln predložena konvenciji in taka absurdnost je bila soglasno sprejeta. Prepričani smo, da bi so te absurdnosti-niti br. Molek danes ne mpgtfl ali hotel držati na vaej črti. ako bi še urejeval Prosveto. Pomen vsega tega je, da tudi konvencije streljajo kozle s sprejemanjem takih resolucij, ki niso načelnega ali konkretnega značaju.
Seveda br. Molek ni imel v mislih te resolucije, ko je zapisal: "Danes smo spet v'dobi, ko imajo ekstrepiisti "in demagogi velik vpliv. Nevarnost je, da Prosveta . . . za stalno izgubi (začasno jih je že izgubila) svoje demokratične smernice. Nevarnost je, da bo le del članov SN1M le on', ki 'belongajo'—Imel svobodo politic-nega izražanja v i - (laiilu, \ i drugI člani, ki mislijo druga-«< an ' no. 1» do irmi.ili molčati. < <■ <• ne bodo hoteli zaječi k dtugim listom."
Cc jo br Molek v pravem, to je, če je nevarnost, da Prosveta izgubi svoje demttkrUftcne smernice, odnostm jih je po njegovi trdits že izgubila, dal|e « < je nevarnost, da postane glasilo kake klike onih, ki "belongajiV tedaj >e skrajni ras, da so članstvo zdi ami in na vsej Čil« pomete v uredništvu in tudi da brco celokupnemu gluvnemp «*lboi o, ki r je zanemaril svoje dolžnosti in dovolil, da se )e PfosVHa piemenlla v glai llo totalltaroav m tata litaišivu Ako ,<• ni to /godilo, tedaj mora pa biti br.

ALI SO POLITIČNE SMERNICE ZA PROSVETO POTREBNE?
Cleveland,—Brat Molek je v svojem dopisu "Svoboda izražanja v glasilu" podal nekoliko pripomb, ki se nanašajo na politične smernice Prosvete. Te njegove pripombe so obenem tudi neka vrsta kritika sedanjega stališča, ki ga Prosveta zavzema v odnosu na važna politična, delavska in socialna vprašanja, Molkova kritika je negativna V omenjenem dopisu ugotavlja "nevarnost, da Prosveta—z dru gimi naprednimi listi vred—za stalno izgubi (začasno jih je že izgubila) svoje demokratične smernice." To nevarnost brat Molek še posebno poudarja s svojim osebnim prepričanjem da "danes smo spet v dobi, ko imajo ekstremisti in demagogi velik vpliv."
V zvezi s to svojo jasno kritiko brat Molek v svojem drugem članku: "Amendiranje člena glede publikacij SNPJ" predlaga v sprejetje prihodnji konvenciji revidirano besedilo člena 36 o jednotinih publikacijah. Njegovo besedilo prav nič ne pove, kuj in kakšne naj bi bile politične smernice Prosvete." Celo jih popolnoma izključuje. Jasno pa je, da uradno glasilo organizacije takšnega značaja kot je SNPJ mora imeti neke politične smernice.
Z MoJ ko vi m besedilom amen-diranega člena 36: "Vse neuradno gradivo za vse številke Piosvete mora biti urejeno v svobodomiselnem in ameriškem demokratičnem sm'slu" . . . ec politične smernice žrtvujejo s a voljo neke bolj široke "svobode izražanja za vse člane." "V mejah teh smernic in v mejah zakonov dežele morajo imeti člani SNPJ svobodo dostojnega, medsebojnega in konstruktivnega kritičnega izražanja v glasilu," pravi brat Molek. Toda organizacija SNPJ je vse nekaj drugega kot je država, ki z zakonom ščiti ne samo interese določenemu razredu pripadajočih državljanov, temveč na splošno vseh državljanov brez razlike na njihovo razredno pripadnost.
Dejstvo je, da ogromna večina članov SNPJ pripada delavskemu razredu. Torej je jasno, da Prosveta v prvi vrsti mora biti delavski časopis. Drugo dejstvo je, da je večina članov SNPJ socialističnega političnega prepričanja. K temu je v dobi i meri pripomogla tudi suma Piosve-ta, k' je (po Molkovem priznanji!) bila socialistično usmerjena. (Seveda imam k temu pripomniti, da je tii socialistično pil pričanje velike večine člunov SNPJ v toliki meri izkristalizirano, dn se v tem oziru nobeden psevdosocialist ni treba podajali iluzijam.) Za dokaz mislim, da je dovolj, če se opozori nn dejstvo, da večina članov SNPJ zelo dobro razume pot sodobne Jugoslavije »li značaj njenega konstruktivnega socializma in la pod|iirajo ta program sociali
Ni lepo plačevati nekateri
no revizijo člena 36 glede publi kacij SNPJ, ki bi vseboval tudi določene politične smernice Kajti jasno je, da se politične smernice glasila SNPJ ne morejo odrediti z nekim statičnim členom y pravilih, temveč z dinamičnim političnim, socialnim, ekonomskim, kulturnim in delavskim razvojem.
Začrtanje političnih smernic publikacij SNPJ je ena od nalog konvencije. Konvencija je najvišja instanca, ki ima jjolno pravico, da dosedanje politične smernice v celoti ali pa delno odobri tudi Za v bodočnost, ali pa da izvrši neke korekture. Seveda je potrebno, da posamezna društva vzamejo v pretres to vprašanje in da po svojih delegatih predložijo konvenciji konkretne predloge.
Prepričan sem, da bomo v mejah teh odlokov konvencije ne samo Molk in jaz, temveč tudi ostali člani imeli dosti prilike, da v raznih vprašanjih povzdignemo tudi naše "glasove iz naselbin." To priliko smo imeli, jo imamo danes in jo bomo imeli tudi v bodoče: Podvreči pa se seveda bomo morali zaključkom večine, na čeravno ti zaključki ne bodo takšni kot bi si to mi, po našem političnem, ideološkem ali pa drugem prepričanju želeli. Na koncu pa odsvetujem sprejetje po bratu Molku predloženo besedilo amendiranega elena glede publikacij SNPJ, in sicer iz razlogov, ki so pojasnjeni v tem dopisu.

KONCERT IN PIKNIKA PEVSKEGA ZBORA PREŠEREN
Chicago. 111.—Po vsej Ameriki se oglašajo razne organizacije, ki imajo v načrtu kako prireditev v prid otroške bolnišnice v Sloveniji. Tako bo tudi pevski zbor France Pfešfe^en priredil velik pikhik v nedeljo, 28. julija t. I., na Keglovem vrtu v Willow Springsu, katerega čisti dobiček bo šel v tu namen. Rezervirajte ta dan za Prešernov piknik! (Več o tem pozneje.)
Naš zbor upa; da bodo druge organizacije upoštevale to naznanilo, ter ne bodo prirejale piknikov na isti dan. > Obenem naj pripomnim, da se bo vršil Prešernov pomladanski koncert

Zamislimo se samo: kaj so mogli zakriviti nedolžni otroci, da so pahnjeni v tako bedo in pomanjkanje. Kje je tisti pravični Bog, da je vse to dopustil? Edina zagonetka, ki ji ne vem odgovora je, kako da je naš narod še

Na programu je zelo bogat, lahko rečemo izredno zanimiv kulturni del. Celoten orkester Duqueene University Tamburica, godbeniki in pevci. Poleg pa bomo zopet uživali petje nadarjene Josephine Klun in Dolores Gorete.

MAJNIŠKA PROSLAVA V KANSASU
Arma, Kans. — Naša skupna kansaška društva SNPJ ali fede-iacija, se pripravljajo za letošnjo majniško proslavo. Vse kaže, da bo to ena izmed najboljših in najzanimivejših priredb, kar smo jih imeli zadnja leta. Vršila se bo v soboto večer, 4. maja, v Franklinu v dvorani Community (tam kot lansko leto).
Poleg drugih stvari bomo i-meli na programu predvajanja najnovejših slik iz Jugoslavije kot: "Osvoboditev Belgrada," "Ljubljana pozdravlja osvoboditelje" in še par drugih novejših filmov. Glede zanimivosti teh slik čitate v raznih dopisih, povsod iz krajev, koder, so jih že videli.
Slike nam posodi SANS in pri
v nedeljo, 28. aprila t. 1., v dvo-rnni SNPJ na I.awndale ave. in priredbi sodeluje tudi podružni-
vec, mrs. Anna Garafol, mrs. J. Shifrer in mrs. Rrances Zakov-šek. Darila za našo prireditev so še poklonile mrs. I. Jereb, mrs. J. Leskovec, mrs. Frances Hodnik (katera je tudi ves ta čas prihajala šivat iit vedno kaj darovala), mrs. F. Makovec, mrs. Ann Mahnič, Mrs. Mary Brunet in mrs. Simčič.
Končno apeliram na vse, ki imate še kaj uporabne obleke ali čevljev, pošljite svojcem, ako pa nimate nikogar svojih, podarite isto svoji znanki, da ona odpošlje svojim. S tem storite veliko dobro delo svojemu narodu, ki je vsega tako zelo potreben.

GLEDE OPERACIJ
Pittsburg. Kans. — Kakor je razvidno iz zapisnikov sej glavnega izvršnega odseka, se ta se vedno bavi, ali se plača za gotove operacije ali no.
Moje mnenje je, da se član podvrže operaciji zato, ker mu priporoča zdravnik in ker je neobhodno potrebno za njegovo zdravje. Prepričan sem, da se ne da noben član z veseljem operirati. Ker vsak član jednote plačuje v sklad operacij, zato želim, da se ne bi delala nobenemu članu krivica.
Prihodnji konvenciji priporočam, da snrejme in uredi tako točko v pravilih, da bi jednota plačala primerno odškodnino za vsako operacijo iz sklada opčra-cij in odškodnin. S "primerno odškodnino" mislim reci, da kadar bi padel operacijski sklad nod normalo. tedaj jednota plača za prihodnjih (recimo) šest mesecev samo 75 procentov vsote. ki je določena v pravilih.
Vsoto za operacijo more navesti pravilno le vrhovni zdravnik. zato ic potrebno, da ostane še nadalje član glavnega odbora.
Tudi se mi ne vidi pravilno, da član ne dobi plačano za ponovno operacijo. Pomisliti moramo, da tisti član. ki mora biti ponovno operiran, je še. bolj nesrečen tot tisti, ki se mu je operacija dobro obnesla SNPJ vendar podpira svoje člane v bolezni in nesreči.	♦
V torek, 9. aprila, pa se bodo vršilq volitve za razne občinske in državne zastopnike. N^ dolžnost je, da gremo vsi volit' Frank Vidmar, ta jnik 270 SNPJ.

Udeležba je bila tako velika, da se je moralo povrniti mnogo-oseb domov, ker ni bilo prostora. Vsi posetniki so bili videti zadovoljni, in to kljub veliki gnječi. Prav tako so bili veseli tudi delavci, čeravno so polne roke dela. Dobro so < zavedali, da delajo za koristno stvar, za naše trpeče in nesrečne brate in sestre v porušeni domovini.
Star pregovor še vedno Hrzi v združenju je moč! In t epi ' se zavedali tudi člani in čl«"** tukajšnjih dveh društev in sm« šli na delo.

Ker je ocenitev naše solventnosti smrtninskega sklada to pot fkolika nižja od leta 1944, smatram potrebno, da članstvu ob utkem razjasnim, kako je do tega prišlo, da ne bo kakšnih nepo-bnih ali za jednoto škodljivih sumničenj.
vno življensko zavarovanje je bilo po večini bazirano na donosni obrestni meri, bodisi pri bratskih podpornih organi-:ijah ali insurance družbah, kar je bilo za nekdanje čase precej Klavno, ker plačevanje štriodstotne obrestne mere od posoje-ga denarja je bilo tedaj nekaj navadnega. Tudi po pet, šest in sedem odstotkov se je plačevalo od nekaterih zadolžnic, toda bveznice s tako visokimi obrestmi so se izkazale več ali manj omljive vrednosti. Ampak časi so se spremenili in kot sedanja »menja kažejo, je štiriodstotna in višja obrestna mera od posojil še spomin na preteklost. Ljudstvo stremi po boljši i rt sigur-ii gospodarski bodočnosti, katera je mogoča le tedaj, če se ome-i veliki dobički, katerih eden glavnih virov so obresti. [Dižavne oblasti, katere nadzorujejo naše bratske organizacije, ispoznaK da je prišel čas, ko morajo vse zadevne ustanove zni-i obrestno mero na nove zavarovalnine, za staro zavarovalnino, oiano na 4'« obrestni meri, pa pripravljajo zakone, po katerih fboDiLsililo nabiranje potrebne rezerve. Tako nam je bilo nam-povedano na konvenciji bratskega kongresa, kateri je im^l konvencijo v našem mestu.	" ' * "
i*pa mi ne maramo čakati dobe, ko bi nas po zakonih prisilili, [mamo storiti za že omenjeno stabilnost zavarovanja, in ker i imeli precej visoko ter posebno rezervo za smrtninski sklad, i/ni odbor na zadnji letni seji—kar ste lahko opazili v zapis-u-na priporočilo aktuarja zaključil, da se prenese nekaj orne-1 rezerve na zavarovanje certifikatov NFC of A 4%. To poda je sedaj vse naše smrtninsko zavarovanje postavljeno na 4'' obrestno mero.
tveno ta prenos ne dela nobene posebne razlike, ker nabrani tninskega sklada b* se končno moral porabiti tam, koder notreba, s lom mislim, v smrtninskem zavarovanju. Je ta prenos za nekaj odstotkov znižal našo solventnost, kar je wit'no z ocenilnega poročila (Valuat;on Report, priobčen na 5. PU. kljub tt mu smo pa še vedno solventni 120.99'//. lu omenjenega poročila tudi lahko razvidite, da se umrljivost "'va ni posebno zvišala vzlic Številnim vojnim žrtvam zadnje-a; i(' ,)a obrestna mera od investicij zopet nekoliko zlezla Kes je, da se obrestna mera bondov, ki donašajo štiri in '] vc< in '(»centov, rapidno krč', ker nekateri dozorevajo, drugi "ii)oklican\ vendar s previdnim gospodarstvom v mejah BrfK.fi ,su or i investicijah ni nobene bojazni o kakšnih posebnih Ejjj-	F.

Springfield, 111.—Zima je minila in prišla je ljuba upomlad. Vse ne raduje in veseli; pričelo je zeleniti, ptički pod nebom po-jo in se vesele prebujenja narave.
Da se bomo razveselili tudi mi, je žensUV gospodinjski klub SDD sklenil na zadnji seji, da priredimo domačo zabavo oz. starokrajsko večerjo, katere dobiček bo šel v korist Slovenskega delavskega doma. Zabava se bo vršila v nedeljo 31. marca, pričetek ob petih popoldne. Vstopnina jc samo 60t, kar ni veliko za dobro večerjo. Ne bom razlagala, kaj bomo servirale. rečem le, da ne bo nikomur zal. gospodinjam in bečlarjem pa ne bo treba pripravljati večerje. Na vse zavedne Slovence v Spring-fieldu in okolici apeliram, da se udeležijo večerje. Živimo samo enkrat, zato bodimo vewli in se podomaČc malo zabavajmo!
Anton Tomftič iz Oaklanda, Cal„ je tudi obljubil, da bo prišel v tem letu v naie mesto. On ie nai stari in zvesti prijatelj. Toni, veseli bomo tvojega obiska
Dno 21 marca jc moj soprog obhal 60-letnico rojstnega dne | in niegovi prijatelji so ga izne-nadili in malo poropotall od zunaj. s wboj p« an prinegli jedače in pijač*, kakor tudi darila. Vsem najlepia hvala, ob priliki vam bova na povrnila.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27
Tenth Nat'l SNPJ Pin Tourney
TWO WEEKS FROM NOW. on April 13 and 14. the tenth annual National SNPJ Bowling tournament will open in Cleveland, with preliminaries scheduled for April 12.
With the jubilee campaign practically over, it is expected that the main attention will now be centered on the 1946 meet. Incidentally, official reports show that the aix-month drive, ending March 31, will surpass the goal by a substantial margin. Therefore, the tournament should serve as a fitting celebration of the campaign which was conducted in observance of the 20th anniversary of the English speaking lodges.
The official hosts at the Cleveland bowling classic will be the local Athletic League. All our SNPJ lodges in our Slovene metropolis, especially the local English speaking lodges, should join in alleviating the task of the league by offering their help in whatever capacity they may be able to serve, for an event of this scope calls for the united support of all our members in Cleveland in order to assure success.
Entries in this year's classic will be completed soon, and it is expected that the first postwar meet will attract many teams; in fact, with most of our boys back in civilian life, the total may run above the last prewar event.
The popularity of the game is growing steadily and our Society realized early the advisability of sponsoring tenpin tournaments with a view of helping its members and thereby advertising its fraternal work.
* * ★
OUR MEMBERS IN CLEVELAND are geared for action, and when Cleveland is set to go—it never fails to demonstrate its ability in promoting large-scale events.
We are convinced that our Cleveland fraternals will do everything possible to make the 11M« bowling event a success, and we all know that their genuine hospitality is never lacking. Cleveland will be out on the firing line ready and willing to do its part in the interest of our Society and its members.
Knowng all this, it remains for the visiting teams to cooperate with the tournament city to the fullest. Another important thing is to see that this event will help to advertise our Society. This enterprise must bring our Society actual results morally as well as numerically.
We all agree that every event of this type must bring moral as well as social success, but we cannot forget the productive side of the event. We must not lose sight of the fact that the SNPJ is primarily a workers' fraternal society. Therefore, it is of particular importance to all participating lodges to take advantage of the bowing contest to strengthen their ranks.
l*t us make the 11M6 bowling event a real success in every respect, that is, for the sake of sports as well as for the Society.
Let us exploit this event to our advantage by trying to add
many new members to swell our adult and juvenile ranks!
* * *
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT coordination is the secret of bowl-in« success, and so it is. as all expert bowlers will readily testify.
It is also said thut the development of perfect coordination brings with it the correction of posture and figure flaws. The stance in bowling is important. It must be the correct, healthful one. with weight distributed evenly. From that point on jhcre is even, balanced play of every muscle and the delivery of the ball.
Bowling stretches and relaxes all the muscles rhythmically. Inevitably, if you do it regularly, it normalizes the unbalanced figure and stores up general health benefits, and beside that, it's fun What's more, it is becoming very popular. Any old-faahioned notions that people might have had that a bowling alley was a smoke-filled den of the strong sex will be erased by some visits to the modern alleys, where we can see women and
men Ixiwling skillfully.
In short, bowling is no passing fad The sport is winning new diaciples every day and is holding its old enthusiasts for the simple. sound reason that it has something No wonder that more than three million women *n th»s country participate in bowling, and the number of men engaged in bowling is about 14 mllion,
with hall a million juveniles.
II« that an it may. let us try our utmost to make our 1W46 bowling event one of the most successful in all respects.

Our deepest sympathies go to the Stimac family on the death of their son and brother Frank. He was a member of the Young Americans. Frank was a very sick boy for quite some time but his dea^h came as a shock to his many friends.
Bowling Notes—In the Slovene Croatian league the Wolverine girls have taken a firm hold on first place. In high three games we have Lena Yerman leading with the beautiful series of 561. Anne Padar is third in single game with 215.
At Northwestern alleys the Omira Cafe girls have won 15 out of a possible 16 points in four weeks. This places them in a deadlock for fifth place with 60 wins and 48 losses.
The Wolverines are looking forward with great anticipation to meeting many old friends at the national tournament in Cleveland. They also intend to "bring home the bacon." Our telegraphic doubles champion U»na Yerman and Rose Miller are n ady to "do or die" in defending their crown. The girls have two teams and the men three with a possibility of more. Any last rriin-ute details can be had by calling Chairman A1 Maccani, DA. 0581.
On April 27-28 the Wolverines and Young Americans will be joint hosts to visiting bowlers at our Invitational tournament

Victory Campaign Darice
CLEVELAND.—In order to properly celebrate a fitting climax of a successful membership campaign, Comrades will stage a membership victory campaign dance, Saturday, March 30, at SNH on St. Clair. Music for the occasion will be provided by none other than Johnny Zalokar, who recently returned from the service. Johnny has got his boys together and he promises the same brand of music he was famous for prior to his departure into the service. This will be his first engagement. Let's be on hand to give him a royal welcome.
Honored guests for the affair will be new and transferred members, John Bozeman, Frank Cesnik, Anton Jelenie, Catherine Kerne. Joe Martinjak, Josephine Mukavetz, Dot Mosnik, Molly Mosnik, Jim Plemel, Theresa Debevec, Frank Mesojedec, Bob Yarshan, Frank Prijatel, Frank Ross, P. Rom, John Smoody, Mrs. C has. Tushar, and others that we'll sign before the campaign is over. ALSO, as our guests, we'll have Comrade's ex-servicemen. Admission for these people will be free and each will receive some kind of a floral decoration. I know you'll want to be on hand to welcome our boys back.
Comrades Meeting — Attendance at our March meeting was very good. Several new faces appeared, among them being Chuck Prijatel. Joe Buchar, and Bill Tushar. Dot Mosnik and Molly Mosnik previously accepted were sworn in. Several new applications were approved. Dickie Grum's juvenile application forwarded. Due to the increase in attendance at our meetings it was decided that future meetings be held in the new building, room 1. Tills will make it easy to provide refreshments, dancing, etc., after our meetings.
Mollie Koren gave a very interesting report on the forthcoming national SNPJ bowling tournament and the results accomplished thus far. It looks like a record turnout for the event. Cleveland federation and Norwood community council reports were given by the writer. Pauline Spik, Vice president and chairman of the entertainment committee, commented on the lineup for the March 23 dance and also brought up the question of the Comrades victory membership campaign dance to be held on March 30. The lodge approved going ahead with the affair as above outlined. Price of admission will be 85c.
Lecqj Nowakowski was not present to receivt1 the $4 award. Marie Stefanic received the $1 drawing. On a re-draw for the $4. neither Martha Sire, Jennie Koren or Betty Jartz were present. They missed the prize of two pairs of nylons.
General—Program received from the Sannemann family, covering participation of the Perfect Circle at the last Pioneer meeting, was very interesting. The kids are good.

A convention will be held in Detroit by AARJ on the reconstruction of Jugoslavia. St. Louis is being represented by George Buban. Collecting tools is being sponsored by SANC which they plan on sending to Jugoslavia. Anyone having tools please send them to John Spil-ler or SANC headquarters.
Granite City's new English speaking lodge will hold its first meeting m March 31 and Spirits wish them a lot of luck and success. Perhaps in the near future the two lodges can hold a social whereby everyone can get ecquainted.	«
Spirits are very sorry they cannot send a bowling team to Cleveland for the tournament but we want to wish all the participants a lot of luck. Maybe next year we'll have a team organized.
It's good to see that Jane Fradcl is back in the States again and hei articles will be appreciated by all.
This-n-That: Joe Johnson was expected home on furlough March 15, so we hope he arrived as planned. Walter Boranich and his family now reside at Huntington Park, Calif.

A special "thanks for the visit" to the John Rebols and family of Cleveland, Ohio, and Jane Frader and family and friends of Latrobe.
The recent lodge meetings proved very interesting but the attendance is poor. There is rodm for improvement, and you members who haven't been to a meeting lately, should drop in to a few meetings and sec what is happening within your lodge. Let's see you all out for the next meeting on Sunday, April 7, at 2:30 p. m.

news and reviews of the campaign
Today, tomorrow and possibly the next day, too, is all the time that now remains of the ESL 20th Anniversary Campaign, for this <?omin^ Sunday, March 3 J, is the closing day. New members en-l oiled after that date will not be counted to the credit of any contestant participating in this membership drive.
Wa remind you for the last time that applications for new members, intended for this campaign, must be mailed to the SNPJ Main Office notfflater than April 5. The postmark on the envelope will determine the date sent.
Before mailing applications, check carefully to see that every question is answered and all necessary information enclosed. Be sure that in every instance the correct plan and amount of insurance is designated, the full name and address of the beneficiary given, proof of age for new members over forty furbished, signatures attached on lines provided for them, etc. Doing this will insure quick and satisfactory service for all concerned. It will also speed up the completion of the final report and standings of the campaign.
Vary aoon we will know the answers to such important questions as—Who will be tha winners of tha TEN GRAND PRIZES? Who will be tha honored guests of tha campaign at tha next con* ventlon? How many of them will bs members of E. S. Lodges?
Right now the honors, among the twenty leading contestants of the campaign, are about equally divided between the English-Speaking and Slovene-Speaking Lodges. The latest returns also show that thirteen" of the leaders have 20 or more new members to their respective credits, and that seven of these are members of English-Speaking Lodges. It begins to look very promising for them.
Another question—Will John Shaffer, who has led the campaign from the very beginning, be able to retain his place of leadership right on up to the end? There doesn't appear to be much doubt that he will do so, and yet we cannot brush aside entirely the pos sibility that some "dark horse" ESL contestant is even now planning to overtake him in order to win the honor of being first in a membership campagn, especially designed to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the ESL movement in the SNPJ. It isn't likely that this will happen and yet, remote as it may seem, the possibility is present. In just a few more days, we will see and we will know.
Including applications received last Monday, nearly 500 new members have already been enrolled this month. The goal of 2,000 set for the campaign has been reached and passed. Many surprisingly good gains were reported last week and many more are on the way. The chances are still bright that a new all-time record will be established this month. The best previous mark was 992 new members enrolled in the final month of the Juvenile 30th Anniversary Campaign in 1943.
There are now 115 contestants on the Campaign Honor Roll, ten more than were reported a week ago. The new "Honor Roll" contestants are as follows:
Name—Lodge—Place Members
Mary Andreas (102), Chicago..........13
Stanley Ule (34), Indianapolis....... 7
Ralph Jermsn (60), Lloydel, Pa. ... S J. Ambrocich (88), Moon Run, Pa.. 5 S. Mum (258). Maadowlands, Pa... 5
Name—Lodge—Place Members Jacob Kunsieli (288), Ely, Minn. A. Skvarch (288). Frederick'n, Pa. Anth. Rossnec (300). Braddock, Pa.
Joseph Jes (321), Warren, Ohio.....
Adam Getto (521), Washington, Pa.
The Honor Roll of lodges who hav<* attained their assigned quotas increased by four more and now number altogether The latest additions are—Lodge 66. Trinidad, Colo., with 6 new members; Lodge 115, Joliet, 111., with 12 new members; Lodge 617, Lincoln Hills, Pa., with 8 new members, and Lodge 700. Roundup, Mont., with a total of 20 to its credit.
A new English-Speaking Lodge has been organized at Madison, Illinois. Its. present membership comprises of a dozen or more transfers from the local Slovene-Speaking Lodge 250, and sonvi four or five new members enrolled in the campaign. Congratulations and good luck to -our newest and youngest SNPJ Lodge!
Conclusion—If your lodge lacks a member'or two of having enough to attain its quota, you still have time to sign up a prospect or two before midnight, March 31. Remember the campaign slogan: Build fraternalism for a more secure futurel This we all can do by enrolling as many new members aa possible into the lodges of SNPJI

The funniest incident happened when a girl bowled her first turn in one alley and then took her second turn in the ne:it alley. After three weeks of bowling we have done fine, but hope that We -can still do better next time.

Circle 10 Cloaaa Campaign For Jugoslav Children
SALEM, O— Recently the Circle closed its canned food campaign for the Jugoslav children, which was successful. We wish to thank all who gave so generously. I am sure none of us would regret having given and would be willing to donate more if we could see what this food will mean to some starving child. We also wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Kataro for helping pack and in assisting in getting the boxes to the station. On April 27, the Circle will hold a dance for the benefit of the Children's Hospital in Slovenia. Let's all attend!

They Said Last Week
Paul Porter, new head of OPA:
"We are face to face with critical dangers that inflation will destroy all we have and blast us into a future of limited markets, constricted earnings, and needless poverty. We can control inflation. The record of the last two and a half years shows that verv clearly. From here on It'« going to be a tough job. But doing that job won't be nearly so rough on any of us as what we will go through if we don't do it. OPA is not in recervership. I have not assumed the job of a liquidator. The least expensive wav out of the dangers we face is to make price control work."
Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, newly lppointed Ambassador to the USSR:
"Both nations (U. 8. and USSR) want nothing ao much as peace and security We have our own security requirements and we understand and appreciate the desire for security on the part of the Soviet Union. If national interests conflict, we must endeavor to adjust them to the gen rral principles of world »faulty which the UNO was created to establish and which will bear final t crutiny."—COMMON COUNCIL.

Jolly Juvenllea, Circle No. 24, Show Progress
WAUKEGAN, ILL —Here is a belated report on'the Valentine parties off Circle 24. The younger group's party was held at the Slovene Hall. There was a fairly large attendance, despite the inclement weather. A number of games were played followed exchanging of valentines, whfeh the children brought earlier in the evening, then refreshments topped off the eve ning's fun.
The boys from the older group took care of arranging their group's party, and they did a fine Job, too, with the girls doing the clean-up work after the paiiy.
We got things tinier way by playing some games. Ofie qt the games was similar to the "Marshmallow Gobble" only doughnuts were used in this ease instead of marshinal-lows. " We also passed a fortune punchboard around the circle, which was very amusing. After the games, we had dancing. Stan Oregorln provided the music with his record player, amplifier and a number of recordings. It was loads of fun dancing to the Slovene polkas and waltzes, und of course, we had some jitterbug numbers and fox trots, too. Thanks again to Stan. The refreshments consists of cake and ice cream topped with nuts and preserves and cake. No foolin', it was really good and plenty for cveryone.
For the past two months Clrch 24 has been contributing as well as collecting artioJes of clothing, pa per, pencils, soap, etc., for the Ju goslav Relief. A box of clothing wds sent out about two weeks ago, and a box containing paper tablets, scratch pads, pencil!^ etc., was sent out last Thursday. The members that were present wrote their names and adresscs on the tablets in hopes of receiving a reply from some of the Jugoslav children.
Last Wednesday the younger group had a brief meeting, and afterward the children played "amateur hour". Each one performed an act, so we really had a variety show —everything from singing, dancing somersaults to storytelling and playing a tune on the piano. It was fun to watch thern. We had a couple mothers present, namely, Mrs. Brence, who stayed just a short while, and Mrs. Sekuiich. Marge Gerzel, assistant adviser, was also present.
Circle 24 is very proud of the attractive plsquo which they received for 1945, s" on behalf of the Circle and 'myself we wish to extend our thanks for having the opportunity to win sn award such as this

gets into print. In addition to tht Pioneers, we have received entries from lodges 8, 86, 100, 131, 573. 584 and 686. The Pioneers alone will have nearly 15 teums. We expect to have two sets of squads with the first rolling right after 10 a. m.
The Lawndale Masonic Temple will be the scene of this year's bowlers' dance. Every Pioneer and SNPJ member is urged to attend. It isn't very often that we have been calling our members to a social and dance these days, That's why we hope for a good response. Admissions will be collected at the door. We'll have music by the Mozina band and the committee will see to it that ^ood refreshments are available, Bowlers from this district will have an opportunity to meet up with many of the boy» who have returned from the service. Let's make a date for Suturday, April 6.
We made arrangements with tha New York Central railroad lo havs two spsclal coschea available for u« on the 11:40 p, m train Friday, April 12, for Cleveland, so that tha bowl ers and their friends can travel together in comfort. These will be special coaches. The round-trip fare will be 114,78. Those wsntlng lo make tha trip should contact Frank Groser, Frank Lotrlch. John Alle, Marge Boslcnlk. or the Pioneer sec retary. We will come back In two groups. One car will be attached to the 4 n. m. Sunday train arriving in Chicago at Si55 p. m.. and the other will be hooked on to lhe 10i35 p. m. train leaving Cleveland, and arriving In Chicago al fttftft a. m. Rooters and visiters are invited to make the trip with us.
Eleven Pioneers turned In subscription books during the past two weeks. They were Al Ormanlec, Frank I^otrich, Mary Reven, Sally Mezdek, Mary E. Novak, Carolyn Dutchuk, Joe Cerkoney. Angeline Zbaenik und Frank Lotrlch arc- now tied for the lead, with five apiece. Mary Reven arid Joe Cerkoney each have three to their credit, while Frank Bregar, John Rak, Anton Bergunt, and Mae Cerkoney each have two to their credit. We're asking every adult Pioneer to help in the disposal of these books. If you didn't get your book as yet, please inquire for it. The job is easier than most of the members think. And remember, you don't know what you can do until you try it. Though the homecoming is four months off, we must still continue to promote the sale of these sub scriotions.
Mary Spiaser, the mother of Angeline Splaser, passed away last week. After the friends in Chicago had a chance to view the Ixidy, it was sent to Johnston City, III, for the funeral last Saturday, In behalf of the Pioneers we extend our condolences.
Prof. Maynard C. Krueger, a fellow Pioneer, made a good lecture to a full house at the Toman Library last Friday night. His subject was "The Coming Depression," and he stressed the fad that the difference between the total national Income and the wages paid to workers would of necessity bring about this coming depression. Hr particularly stressed the fact that Uncle Ham was the biggest purchaser of wsr commodities during the past five years, having purchased more Hum half of everything produced With machinery being able to pile up goods In the coming few years, Hro. Krueger expects the slsck in the purchasing powsr to bring about that new depression. He wss well received.

"In Fact" comes out with an expose of how the U. S. public has been fooled for ten years on the falsehood of the pro-Franco government in Spain. It seems that Certain clerics have been behind the campaign to keep Franco in power as a dictator. The Catholics In. particular have been fur him although "In Fact" reports that muny priests have been ugainst Franco openly The thing must be pretty bad when the United States government discovered over HOO documents In Berlin to prove that Franco and his fascists worked along with Hitler and Mussolini all the time aguinst the U S. Government. It revealed how Hitler's U-boats were refueled in Spain. We are certainly glad to have America, Great Britain and Frunce tell Franco where to get off and proves all over how right those of us have been, who have opposed the fusclst regime in Spain and how wrong the rest of the reactionary statesmen and press have been all the while. It seems that some people just can't see the facts. It seems that Some of them always want to discolor facts and we are glad that everything comes out In the long run, even though millions of souls have had to give up their lives.
The Pioneers always attend the social uffairs of other lodges, und wc know that they will form a large part of the crowd which will go to the Lawndale Tup Roam, Gatchner's this Sutihday, March 30, for the Victorians Spring Dance.—Quite u few of them uttended the dunce of Slovenski Dom lodge jin the North side last Suturday night.

Stop the Slaughter!
John L. Lewia, president of the United Mine Workers, touched a subject in the current coiil wage conference that receives far too scant attention by the public, the government and the coal operators.
______He demand*
e d the end of "slaughtering" of miners in the nation's coal minsa.
In 14 years, he amplified. 28,000 miners were killed in the mines, and injuries totaled the astonishing figure of 1,004,000 cases. The dead figures near the number of American soldiers killed in combat during the first World War. The dead would make two full army divisions.
One out of every four West Virginia miners was injured In the 14 year period.
Undoubtedly, a great many of the deaths and accidents were unavoidable. Coal mining ia a hazardous occupation and Its dangers are inany.
But John L. Lewis' statement, "that the loss of life In coal mines, and the ratio of injuries ia toO great to be condoned In any civilised country," is a ringing challenge to the government and the coal operators.
If the coal, operators were compelled to comply with the high standards set by the Federal Bureau of Mines, a great many deaths und accidents would not occur.
It is common practice for coal operators to disregard the safety of minera. Violations of regulations can't be* enforced at all times. Far joo often, suggestions of the union's safety committee* go unheeded.
Last year, in the Pennsylvania Legislature, I Introduced a bill requiring operators to carry out rec« oinmrndatlnni of union safety committees as to safety measures.
The bill wap opposed on the grounds that it usurped the rights und (lowers of management, and it Was "pickled" in the committee of Mines and Mining.
Whether it usurped the power of management or not, the Indiscriminate slaughtering of minera must halt,
And if the operators are unwilling to follow to the letter the various »tales' safety luwa, and the Bureau
of Mines recommendations, then the men who dig the coal, and whose lives and health are In jeopardy ihould be given the power to protect their owr^ interests.
Human rights in a democracy should have a priority over property rights.
Frank Krivec Killed in Mine Accident

Runners-up in the 1945 Bowling Tournament
Comments
SPRINGFIELD. ILL—Early this year a prominent visitor came to this country and has been given much publicity ever since, none other than the ex-Prime Minister of Great Britain who chose our fair land as a spot where he could take rest, a much needed "vacation", the papers told us.
Most of the time he was pictured as a real vacationist, relaxing here and there around Miami, splashing some paint on a canvas, etc. But a few times he took time off from his vacation** for a trip up to Washington, D. C. During his visits to the White House the lights burned late there we are told.
This week the real reason for Mr. Churchill's visit was revealed. He has been here on a policy-making mission. In the speeches he made this week that fact was made clear.
For some reason he and President Truman took a train ride out into the country to make public their plans for a new Anglo-American alliance against Russia. "No one knows," said Mr. Churchill, "what Russia's plans are." That may or may not be true but there Is one thing that the world knows for sure and that is what kind of plans Great Britain has In store for any of the down-trodden of the world who dare to make a move for freedom. Such people are met with machine-guns. mortar, • strafing—anything and everything that the British army and navy can fire at them.
How many people have been murdered by this British policy in Greece? in Indonesia? in India? We have no figures, but it is safe to say that the number would be in the hundred* o/ thousandj.
Has our government said anything to Britain about this being aggression? Or about such action as this being in violation of the Atlantic Charter? Or any other Of thetr agreements" that seem to be worth no more than the paper they are written on? No, not one move has been made against the British by our government against any of this tyranny. Only here and there over the world have there been revolts by our soldiers and sailors who want nothing to do with such slaughter. And what chance have they to do anything to stop it?
Has Russia done anything in any of the countries she has entered that in any way compares to this mourderous policy of the British? No, Indeed. Arid W can all be sure that if Russia Wire to do anything like thla, she'd have the world at her heels.
This is the s^fre Churchill who not too many yeirs ago referred to the Spanish Dictator as "my friend, Franco." Now 'he comes to this country with orijl'purpose in mind, to unite the U. A with Great Britain in a powerful blodk Hxainst the Soviet Union, Which If it is not stopped can lead' to only one thing —war with RusslS.
Several years šgo a very wise old man made important predictions before he died. "North American militarism," he wrote, "will become the most grandiose in all history. It will begin by-Inheriting the British Empire."
NoK it looks as If that time Is not so far off. As one commentator says, "We seem to be falling heir to a decadent colonial empire." I
core. An no doubt our wise old hero would see ail this as one more move by the powerful American imperialists to control the economy of the world.
What should we do with such a warmonger as this Churchill? Individually there is nothing that any of us can do. But working all together thru the strong labor unions, thru educational groups and thru our congressmen we ought to demand that they repudiate all warlike speeches such as the one made by Churchill. What Is more we should all work together for the organization of a strong new social order based on true equality—one that has no room for Churchilla, nor kings, nor dictators—political or economic.

Living Costs Still Zoom; Rise Set at 48 Per Cent
educational benefits UNDER & i bill of rights
(Information Issued by the Veterans' Department of the Lab
for Human Rights) '
Just what workers are up against in trying to make ends meet was forcefully demonstrated in a number of official government document« issued during the past week. They showed graphically why substantial wage increases are now a "No. 1 Must."
One was the Department of Labor's "consumers' price index," which disclosed that living costs are now at the "highest level since the spring of 1921," when inflation following the first World War was near its peak.
Recent increases brought the index to 31.7 per cent above August, 1939, the department said, but conceded the "true" figure would be about 36.7 per cent.
Even the latter figure falls far Short of the true increase, according to organized labor's competent research staffs. They say It should be at least 47 per cent.
Furthermore the labor experts point out the index is confined to goods bought by "moderate Income city workers" in larger communities, and doesn't take into account •tiffer rises in smaller cities, nor the fact that workers in the lowest Income brackets are hit even harder.
This position is confirmed in a study made by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the Department of Agriculture. Its Index puts the Increase at 48 per cent.
Meanwhile, as living costs continue climbing, wages have been toboganning since the end of the war. Another Department of Labor report shows that take-home earnings of industrial workers have declined 10 to 15 per cent, and in some Instances as much as 25 per cent, since V-J Day.
Congressman Albert J. Engel (Rep„ Mich ), who for several years has been studying living coats, said in the House that he had analysed the various indexes and concluded that the 46 per cent figure "comes neareat" to representing the real hike in living costs. ' , Ha gava a stalling picture of what's happened to "real wages." An income of $2,500 a year back in 1039 has been reduced in buying power to only $1,470 because of price increaaes and steep income taxes, he declared.
'Those are the fundamental causes of current labor unrest," he
In April thousands of veterans, will be taking advantage of new educational opportunities offered by the "G. I. Bill of Rights."
The purpose of this and other articles on "educational benefits" will be to inform the veteran of his privileges under Public Law 346 (G. I. Bill of Rights) and to guide him in the procedure of application. If specific points pertaining to "educational benefits" are not covered here, additional information may be obtained from the Labor League for Human Rights, Veterans' Department, 10 East 40th Street, New York 16, N. Y.
Benefits were greatly broadened by a recent revision of the so-called "G. L Bill." The new legislations now await the President's signature. The revised law increases the number of veterans eligible for application, and it may be well to enumerate the important changes.
Previously, Public Law 346 stipulated that if a veteran was over 25 years of age when entering the service, he had to prove his education had been interfered with by tealon of his entrance into service before he became eligible for a period beyond one year's educational training. This requirement has now been removed and a veteran over 25 years is aligible for all benefits.
A new amendment also provides for an increase in subsistence allowance for student veterans. Single students receive from $50 to $65 monthly; married, from $75 to $90.
Also, the new measure. allows expense-paid correspondence courses, and short technical courses.
In Section 1506 of the present G. I. Bill of Rights an important provision states that benefits received by any veteran under the Bill should be deducted from any adjusted compensation (bonus) authorized in the future. This provi-

Not every veteran is entitled the full four years (48 months) the Bill provides. Eligibility ii follows:

For 1 year service, 24 months < cational period.
