MAJA (MAY 21). 1947 Subecriptlon 38.00 Yearly ÔTEV.—NUMBER 99 ameriški MONO- Italija predložila pol ATOMSKE*«/« energije ILUZIJA Ruski delegat Gromiko predlagal sklenitev pogodbe SOVJETSKA UNIJA ZA RAZOROŽITEV New York, 20. maja.—Andrej A. Gromiko, ruski delegat pri organizaciji Združenih narodov in pomožni zunanji minister, je dejal, da je ameriški monopol atomske energije iluzija in napovedal, da bodo druge države v doglednem času dosegle dominacijo v razvoju orožja masnega uničevanja. Predlagal je sklenitev pogodbe, ki naj bi prepovedovala uporabljanje a-tomskega orožja. Taka pogodba naj bi bila prvi korak v u-stanovitvi sistema mednarodne kontrole in inšpekcije. Gromiko je orisal konflikte, katere so razkrile diskuzije o atomski energiji na sejah organizacije Združenih narodov, v svojem govoru na letnem banketu Ameriško-ruskega instituta v hotelu Waldorf-Astoria. Razkril je, kako daleč bo Rusija šla v svrho dosege sporazuma o atomski energiji. Predlagal je med drugim: Prepoved izdelovanja atomskega in drugega orožja masnega uničevanja, ki je glavni problem Združenih narodov. Rusija je pripravljena podvreči se mednarodni kontroli pod pogojem, da je ta v rokah izvežba-nih nadzornikov, tpda prej se mora zavreči atomska bomba kot vojno orožje. Noben sistem inšpekcije ne sme posegati v notranjo ekonomijo Sovjetske unije. Iz tega razloga mora biti oblast omejena in dana garancija, da se bo atomska energija uporabljala le za mirovne namene. Uprava in lastništvo sredstev produkcije atomske energije ne smeta biti podeljeni mednarodni avtoriteti. Z orisanjem teh pogojev je Gromiko v bistvu naglasil opozicijo Rusije proti ameriškemu načrtu kontrole atomske energije, katerega je iniciatiral Bernard M. Baruch. "Sovjetska unija," je rekel Gromiko, "ne more sprejeti predloga glede zavisnosti njene ekonomije od volje večine kontrolnega organa, ker bi tak or-fian lahko izrekal enostranske zaključke. Taki zaključki ne bi bili v interesu pravičnosti. Zdi w mi, da Sovjetska unija ni edina med državami, ki zavzela tako stališče. Ustanovitev pohoda znanosti m mogoča v Ameriki in ne v drugih državah.

Y„ 20. maja. —Italija je predložila aplikacijo organizaciji Združenih narodov, naj jo sprejme kot članico v svetovni družini narodov. Ona je prva izmed bivših osi-ščnih držav, ki so bile poražene v vojni, ki bi rada prišla v o-kvir Združenih narodov. "Nova demokratična Italija," pravi aplikacija, "se je odločila za izvajanje smernic mednarodne kooperacije v prilog miru. Svoje dobre namene in voljo je dokazala z doprinosi k zavezniški zmagi po padcu fašizma." Aplikacijo je iročil Trygveju L i e j u , generalnemu tajniku Združenih narodov, grof Alber-to Tarclani, italijanski poslanik v Washingtonu. On je tudi Izrazil upanje, da bo Italija dobila status neodvisne države po ratifikaciji mirovne pogodbe. Lansko leto so bile zavržene prošnje Transjordanije, Albanije, Irske, Portugalske in mongolske republike za vstop v organizacijo Združenih narodov. Prošnje teh držav so Še v seznamu. Pred tremi tedni je Ogrska, ki se je borila na strani osiščnih sil proti zaveznikom v drugi svetovni vojni, vložila prošnjo za vstop v organizacijo Združenih narodov. O vseh prošnjah se bodo vršile diskuzije v bližnji bodočnosti. Japonci napadli ameriike vojake Singapor, 20. maja. — List Straits Times je objavil poročilo svojega dopisnika y Toki ju, da so Japonci napadli železni-škUvlak, na katerem so se nahajali ameriški vojaki, s kamenjem. Napad je bil izraz naraščajočega japonskega sovraštva proti ameriški okupacijski sili. Ameriška misija odletela v Turčijo Washington, D. C., 20. maja. —Ameriška vojaška misija 20 Odmevi iz članske kampanje SNPJI V dveh mesecih in pol*je prinesla 1350 novih članov; vpliv mladinskih krdžkov viden v kampanji Odmevi iz naše članske kampanje so tudi to pot zelo povoljni. Lahko bi rekli, da gre kampanja "kot po žnorci1'. Kot poroča kampanjski direktor Michael Vrhovnlk. je do sredi tega meseca že prinesla okrog 1,350 novih članov. Končne številke pokazu-jejo, da so meseca aprila društva pridobila 530 novih članov —349 v mladinski, 181 pa v odrasli oddelek; 13 mladinskega v odrasli oddelek je prestopilo 64 Članov, skupaj, v aprilu 594. Kot smo že zadnjič omenili, se v tej kampanji najbolj odlikujejo društva v Pennsylvaniji, kjer je z Ohio vred članska hrbtenica jednote. Pennsylvanska društva so tudi v tem poročilu častno zastopana, sploh imajo prvenstvo v vseh treh kampanjskih razredih. Na prvih treh vodilnih mestih v razredu A so društva 138 v Strabanu, 589 tudi v Strabanu (slovensko in angleško poslujoče, ki sta v bitki za prvenstvo) in društvo 82 v Johnstownu. V razredu 9 pa so na prvih treh vodilnih mestih društva 89, Midway, 292, Avella ln 749, Johnstown (angleško poslujoče "Trojans"). V tem razredu so prekoflli svojo kvoto (15 tudi pri društvu 59, DePue, 111., za dva člana, pri društvu 275, Maynard, O., pa so ravno "even" (11—11). Tudi v razredu C prvačl Pennsylvania, ki si je prisvojila prvih šest vodilnih mest. In sicer jih zavzemajo društva 725, Latrobe, 284, Philadelphia, 716, Imperial, 762, Hostetter, 319, Cuddy in 665, Pittsburgh. V tem razredu je že precej društev, ki so že dosegla all prekoračila svoje kvote. Natančnejši podatki so v angleški sekciji te Prosvete v poročilu kampanjskega direktorja. Zdlo razveseljivo dejstvo v tej kampanji Je tudi aktivnost mladinskih krožkov ki je dokaj vidna tudi v pridobivanju novih članov. Kot omenja kampanjski direktor, ki trna upogled tudi v aktivnost mladinskih krožkov, U kampanja zaznamuje največji uspeh v onih naselbinah in pri onih društvih, ki imajo tudi aktivne mladinske krožke. Povsem narSvno je, da otrok še najlažje pridobi otroka v mladinski krožek in torej tudi v društvo. Razvidno je, da to delo vrše pri mMsikaterem mladinskem krožku, in najbrže z veseljem, kajti otreci so med svojimi sovrstniki lahko zelo dobri agitatorji. Nauk vsega tega je, da bi morala društva polagati večjo važnost qrganiziranju In razvoju novih krožkov povsod, kjerkoli so količkaj pogoji za to. Z veseljem poročamo, da Je bilo v tem letu že organiziranih deset novih krožkov, trije nadaljnji pa so bili r&rganlziranl. To so krožki, ki so zadnja leta vsled razmer prenehali. Novi krožki so bili ustanovljeni ali otMJenl v naselbinah Johnstofjn, Sirabane, Latrobe, Detroit, ^vella, Imperial, floundupT Walsenburg, Hoetetter, Sygan, ČuddjT Aliquippa, Ve iona, Milwaukee in New Smyrna Beach (Fla.). Skoraj v vseh teh naselbinah je tudi kampanja za nove člane najbolj živahna. Kampanja se je že nagnila proti svojemu koncu. Se dobrih pet tednov in nekaj dni in zapisali bomo—"finis". Kot znano, bo zaključena 30. junija. Teh pet tednov bo hitro potekkj. Do zdaj je v kampanji aktivnih okrog 275 društev ali približno 45%. V primeri s prejšnjimi kampanjami Je to število precej lepo. Toda potrebno bi bilo, da bi se v to kampanjo, spuztlla k ostala društva ln pridobila vsaj minimalno število novih članov—ako ne več, vsaj enega, dva, tri. Skoraj pri vsakem društvu W bilo mogoče pridobiti vsaj kakega otroka v mladinski oddelek, ki je faktlčno steber in glavni vir doneska odraslemu oddelku. Torej na noge, da v tej kampanji napravimo rekord vseh rekordov! članov je odletela v Turčijo. Njen načelnik je general Luns-ford E. Oliver.

Odbor ctevelandsklh podružnic SANSa je organiziral nekaj medkonvenčnih priredb za pogostitev in v razvedrilo delegaciji in naši javnosti. V ta namen se bo vršila v petek, 30. maje zvečer v Slovenskem narodnem domu kulturna prireditev, kjer bodo nastopili pevski zbori Slovan, Jadran, Planina, Zarja in kvartet Glasbene Matica. Predvajanenoodo tudi nove premikajoče slike, ki so pred kratkim bile poslane iz domovine; predvajane bodo skozi 35 cm filmski aparat. Nastopili bodo govorniki iz Amerike, iz stare domovine pa nas obiščeta partizanska borca dr. Jože Lampret in dr. Vladimir Pavšič (Matej Bor). Prvi je. poznani partizanski duhovnik in član slovenskega parlamenta, drugi pa je bivši partizanski borec in sodobnik pesnik in pisatelj. V soboto, 31. maja zvečer, pa bo praznovanje Kristanove 80-letnlce in sa bo v ta namen vršil banket v spodnji dvorsni SND na St. Clair ave. Pri banketu bo nekoliko kulturnega programa ln govorniki.

Dorniku in ne Zorniku. Johana Pečjak. Da pišemo te vrstice, nam je deloma dala povod tožba, katero je zakulisni pisec uredniških člankov A. D. Franc Gabrovšek naperil proti Enakopravnosti in Jo baje namerava naperiti tudi proti Prosvetl in Proletarcu, ako bo ta tožba ugodno iztekla zanj. Drugi in trenulno tudi glavni povod za te vrstice je "intervju', katerega je James Debevec, titularnl urednik ln solastnik A. D. podal poročevalcu Cleveland Plaln Dealerja v zvezi s to tožbo. Tretji je ps neka debela laž, katero bomo omenili pozneje. Kot smo na kratko že zadnji petek poročali v Domačih vesteh, _ . , ... _ . Franc Gabrovšek toži Enakopravnost za $200,000 odškodnine ra-tJ® P\^®nniVutur/ A_JICi> .re*a" di - "žaljenja časti". Kot da bi ljudje okrog A. D. In posebno Albert Fatur^n Frank Koše Gabrovšek poznali kakšno osebno čast, dostojnost ali intelek- " 1 "" "tt * tualno poštenostf Resnlcs Je, da tem ljudem ne more nihče raz-žsliti "časti", ker Je nimsjo — vsaj v A. D. nI nobenega sluha o njej. Vendar pa se je Gabrovšek — tisti Gabrovšek, čijega politična skupina je goreče podpirala avstrijski ln španski klerofa-šizem, masno ubijanje avstrijskih ln španskih delavcev in kmetov, da, tudi španskih antlfašističnih duhovnikov, katerih je Franco pomoril na stotine — tisti Franc Gabrovšek, ki dan za dnem pere slovenske izdsjalce in Hitlerjeve kvizltnge a škofom Rožmanom na čelu — ta "Kristusov namestnik" (Bog mu grehe odpusti, mi mu jih ne bomo!) se Je zatekel na sodišče, da st opere svojo nevidno čast! Vse zsto, ker je Enakopravnost, kakor tudi Prosveta in Prole-tarec, priobčila serijo člankov, katere je po starokrajsklh virih sestavil SANSov tajnik Mirko Kuhel in iz katerih je bilo razvid no, da se je ta Franc Gabrovšek kot odgovorni funkcionar klerikalne Zadružne zveze v Sloveniji bolj brigal za "reševanje časti" drugih, to je svojih kolegov, kot pa za svojo. Če bi se bil v starem kraju toliko brigal za svojo čsst kot se briga s to tožbo proti Enakopravnosti, bi tam ne bllt odkrili nobenega materiala, ki bi izpodkopaval in tudi uničeval njegovo—"čast". PIKNIK NAPREDNIH SLOVENCEV Braddock, Pa,—Društvo Napredni Slovenci št. 300 SNPJ bo imelo piknik 30. maja, to je na praznik Unčanja grobov, na Church HUlil. Bratja in sestra, udeležite se piknika v velikem številu. Vljudno vabimo tudi naše rojake iz bližnjih naselbin, Odbor bo vsem dobro postregel. Za ples bo igrala izvrstna god piramo mladinski krožek, kateri je sedaj zelo aktiven pod vodstvom M. Ermenec, za kar ji vse priznanje, kakor tudi M. Gornick, ravnateljici za mladinske aktivnosti. Za pojasnila o krožku se obrnite do nju, ali pa zasledujte poročila v Pro-sveti. Sedaj je v teku kampanja za nove člane in članice. Koliko jih boste pridobili za prihodnji sejo? Treba je iti na delo, predno bo kampanja zaključena. Urad American State banke je sedaj v lastnem modernem poslopju na 740 N. Plankinton ¿ave. Kadar se naši rojaki na potijo v mesto, naj pogledajo prostore te banke, v kateri sta tudi dvs Slovenca direktorja, namreč dr. J. F. Stefanez in Anton Butcher. Lahko vprašate za Butcherja, ki je blagajnik. On vam bo vsa pojasnil. Fr. Perico, tajnik. v triu Frieda in Dolores Vidicjba "StresmlinersP.

V tem Intervjuvu je med drugim rečeno, da je "Father Gabrovšek prišel semkaj Iz Jugoslavije pred enim letom. Rekel Je, da je zbežal od tam pred komuniati, da si reši življenje." Ameriško Javnost ln one, ki ne poznajo dejstev, Je lahko blu-fati z lažmi. Dejstvo je, da je vaš urednik, pisec teh vrstic v družbi več drugih Cikažanov slišal "fadra" Franca Osbrovšku na Delavski dan letu 1944 na neki kutollški priredbi v Jolletu, 111. Torej ni mogel priti v Ameriko šele "pred enim letom". Ci-tall smo tudi, d« Je Ijil prav ta Franc Gsbrovšek na predvečer Hitlerjeve Invazije Jugoslavije delegiran po prvakih klerikalne SL8 v Ljubljani, da se z nekaterimi drugimi kolegi vred umakne v Londonu, kakor tudi to, da je bil potem v službi zamejne vlade v Londonu In New Yot ku. Torej ni mogel šele "pred enim letom pobegniti i/. Jugoslavije pred komunisti, da si reši živ I jen je." Čudno, da m« dajalec tega "Intervjuva" ln potvarjalec dejatev ni spomnil ni — "čast"! Na svojo ln na (iabrovškovo! V isti sapi. ko se ti g<»*p starem času. Aprilske seji se nisem ude leŽUa in tako nisem vedela ob kdaj se bo pričela seja^ po starem ah novem času. Ker pa nI Rapidho se bližamo konvenciji Slovensko amerllkega narodnega sveta, katera se ima vršiti koncem tega meseca v Clevelan-du, Ohio. Dobro bo in potrebno je, da se zastopniki omenjenega zborovanja za istega dobro pripravimo, katero, če upoštevamo sedanje napete mednarodne od-nošaje, bo velikega pomena ter važnosti. Organizacija SANS je v svoji kratki dobi, s pomočjo liberalno čutečih rojakov in članov podpornih organizacij, storila veliko dobrega dela za splošni Uudski blsgor v več ozirih. Poleg točnega poučevanja tukajšnje alovenake javnosti o razvoju razmer v stari domovini, rt-lifne akcije, kulturnega dela Itd., je tudi mnogo pripomogla naši novi domovini v njenih naporih v času vojne. SANS nam je bil potreben v času, ko se Je ves demokratični svet boril proti fašizmu, toda s porazom istega še ni njegova naloga končana, kajti mir še ni podpisan ln nevarnost novih vojnih zapletajev še tudi ni odstranjena. B tem sicer ne mislim reči. da je SANS zmožen vojno preprečiti, sem pa mnenja, ds lahko v taki organizaciji kot je SANS veliko pomagamo oni plasti ameriškega naroda, ki je proti vojni, če s njim sodelujemo. « Zgodovina ameriška civilne vojne v dobi predaednUtva velikega prijatelja malega človeka, Llncolna, kateri ae je postavil po robu južnim sužnodricem, govori, kaj vse so proti njemu počenjali tedanji zagovorniki sužnosti in ksteri je vsled njihove strupene propagande končno tudi postal irtev za odpravo sužnosti. Vsled tegs nsm mora biti razumljiv krik in gonja bili umertsko državljanstvo kakor hitro stopite na "Titova" tla. &koda. ker ni več Hitlerja, ds bi lahko tudi ti ljudje direktno stopili v njegovo sluftbo ln mu prisegali zvestobo, kot so to delali njih btatcl v starem kraju s škofom Rožmanom ln škofom Stepincom na čelu. 1 a. sedanjega nazadnjaštva proti vsemu, ki stremi po napredku in nasprotuje vojnam. Toda teh elementov se nesmemo vstrašitl, saj vendar delamo pod okriljem SANSa za dobrobit ne samo tukajšnjih naših naseljencev, ampak ameriškega naroda vobče in vse naše delovanje je podvrženo javni kritiki, to je, da ničesar ne skrivamo. Ta dežela je Imela in tudi danes ima, veliko poštenih in liberalno mislečih mož, ki se ne vstrašijo zagovarjati demokratične smernice ali tradicija svojih prednikov. Med temi je danes najpogumnejši Henry Wallace, podpredsednik v času Roo-seveltove administracije. Toda plevel se najde povsod, katerega se najlažje odkrije v viharnih časih. t < V sedanji gonji od strani vlade, pod pretvezo eksterminacije komunizma, je nekaterim nekdanjim naprednjakom zlezel pogum v Škornje ln so se čez noč spremenili, oz. postsll veliki pa-trijoti. "Prijatelja spoznaš v nesreči," pravi star slovenski rek. Biti iiberslen ali napreden tedaj, ko je predsednik Z. D. skoro gonil delavce v strokovne unije in danes, je velika razlika. Pa se tudi ti časi spremenijo, kakor pride za oblačnim tudi solnčnl dan.s Človeštvo je stopilo v dobo prerojenjs, skozi katero bo moralo korskati v krčih in bolečinah, ker Uk je peč zakon narave, toda kot Je že prebredlo več sllčnih.dob socijalmh preobratov, tako prekorači tudi to. oni pa. ki hočejo zasUviti pot tej revoluciji, obležijo strti ob njeni poti. Organizacija Slovensko ameriškega narodnega «veta mora oststl pri sedanjih načelih in smernicah, ker le na ta način mora računati na podporo napredno mislečega življa v tej deželi katere pot je pravilna, kar dejansko potrjuje SANSova zgodovina. VABILO NA PIKNIK DRU&TVA 300 SNPJ Braddock, Pa. — Društvo št. 300 SNPJ bo priredilo piknik na Spominski dan, 30. maja, na društvenih prostorih na Church Hillu. Veselični odbor je že vse preskrbel, da bo dosti pijače in jidače. Imeli bomo domače klobase in tudi drugih jedil bo na pretek. Za ples bo igrala poznana Perniškova godba. Da bodo lahko šli na piknik tudi oni, ki nimajo svojih avtomobilov, je društvo najelo avtobus, ki bo odpeljal iz North Braddocka ob 2:45 popoldne na Grandview ave. pred luteransko cerkev. V Braddocku pa se bo ustavil ob treh popoldne, in sicer pred Hrvaškim domom na Talbolt ave. Vabimo vse občinstvo na veliko udeležbo. Odbor jamči, da ne bo nikomur žal. Zabave bo dovolj in za balincanje je vse urejeno. Vstopnina samo 30c. Torej na svidenje 30. maja.

Podpredsednik je poročal, da so pri izletniški farmi SNPJ dobili dovoljenje, da bodo lahko postavili novo plesno dvorano in drugo, kar spada zraven. Rabiti bodo morali železno strešno ogrodje in streha bo iz aluminija. Delo se kmalu prične. Frank Bar bič. Pripombe uredništva: Obe strani zadeve bosta pojasnjeni v zapisniku seje gl. izvršnega odseka. MAJSKA PROSLAVA LEPO USPELA Groee. Kane.—Kansaška fede racija društev SNPJ se iskreno zahvaljuje vsem, ki so na kateri koli način pripomogli k lepemu moralnemu kot finančnemu uspehu praznovanja Prvega maja. Hvala eksekutivnemu odseku SNPJ, ki nam je posodil jedno-j tine filme o zadnji konvenciji, • kakor tudi slike o aktivnosti 'mladinskega krožka št. 21 iz Sharona. Pa. Prav tako hvala vsem delavcem, ki so preskrbeli, da je bila postrežba vse- dalje finančno podpiralo usta nove ki streme za kulturnimi in izobraževalnimi cilji. Podrobnosti o poteku majske proslave boste slišali na federa. cijski seji, ki se bo vršila četrto nedeljo (25. maja) t. m., začetek ob dveh popoldne v Frank linu, in sicer v isti dvorani kot se je vršila majska prireditev. Da smo tudi sejo prestavili v središče naselbin, je pač namen da se omogoči večja udeležba Ker niste pozabili priti na prireditev, gotovo tudi ne boste pozabili priti na omenjeno sejo. Vsak člaji in članica je dobrodošla. Za odbor: John Shular. MLADINSKI KROŽEK PODAL LEP PROGRAM ZA MATERE Cleveland, O.—Na zadnji seji Naprednih Slovenk 137 SNPJ je mladinski krožek podal krasen program za matere članice pod vodstvom Marion Tratnik-Adams, pomagali pa sta ji Nado in Alma Žagar. Navzočih je bilo 55 mater, ki so prisrčno ploskale raznim točkam. Ko so matere prihajale v dvoranico, so vsaki pripeli rdeč nagel, simbol države Ohia in Slovenije. Program so odprli s pesmijo "Welcome" Lillian Sterk, Ann Lipoid in Daniella Česen. Nato je Antoinette Naglich deklamirala krasno slovensko pesem "Mati". Mladinski pevski krožek je zapel pod vodstvom Franka Pluta in njegove soproge Molly dve slovenski in eno ameriško pesem. Elaine Slogar je izvajala potrkljalni ples. Ona je zelo talentirana in jo čaka še bodočnost na tem polju. Tudi njena' sestrica dobro pleše. Materinski dan ne bi bil po-polen brez pesmi "Mother of Mine", katero je prav lepo deklamirala Jo Ann Slogar. Daniella Česen pa je zaigrala solo na klavir. Ann Lipoid je dobro vodila program, za kar ji vse priznanje. Krožek je nagradil z darilom najstarejšo mater mrs. Mary Zaverl, "Happy Birthday" pa sc mlade pevke zapele za sestro Jennie Stokel, ki je praznovala rojstni dan na tisti dan, in za sestro Jennie Skuk. Krožek je tudi serviral vsem navzočim čaj in slaščice in tako je bil program zaključen. Vsi so se prav dobro zabavali. Kroi-ku št. 2 in voditeljicam se prav lepo zahvaljujemo. Joele Zakrajsek. tajnica' 137 SNPJ. z _____ VAŽNA SEJA PODRUŽNICE 2 SANSa Chieego, "HI,—Prihodnjo soboto, 24. t. m., se bo vršila važna seja te podružnice.

The combined total for the first two months l° 1093 Since then we have received applications for over 250 more new ITbers increasing the grand total as of May 16. last Friday, to approxi-tely 1350 members. With the two biggest weeks and the closing days oTthe month ahead of us, we are confidently looking forward to another «cord enrollment. Ths campsign continues to grow steadily stronger and stronger, especially among the lodges in Pennsylvania. The latest standings of the waders show that the firfct three places in Class "A" as well as Class "B," and the first six places in Class "C" are held by Pennsylvania lodges. How long they will be able to hold these positions and maintain the fast pact they are setting remains to be seen but, as this report of the campaign is being prepared, only six weeks of the membership drive are left. Unless the lodges in other states begin to take a more serious attitude very soon, the campaign might very easily end with an all-Pennsylvania finals for the special and grand prizes offered by the Society. Since my previous report of the campaign two weeks ago, there have beep no changes among the top leaders of the three classes. Lodge 725, Latrobe, Pa., Lodge 89, Midway, Pa. and Lodge 138, Strabane, Pa., have tuccessfully retained the lead-off positions in their respective groups. There have been, however, a number of changes in the runner-up places, the most important of which are reported in the succeeding paragraphs. In Class "A." Pioneer Lodge 589, Strabane, Pa., has regained second place since last month on its splendid enrollment of 18 new members and is once more a serious contender for the top honors in this class. A real contest seems to be developing between the tw0 local lodges (138 and 589) which will, no doubt, prov beneficial to the Society, as well as to the lodges and Circles in this active community. Other noteworthy gains in this class were made by Lodge 2, La Salle, 111., Lodge 6. Sygan. Pa., and Lodge 137. Cleveland, each being credited with six new members, while Lodge 21, Pueblo, Colo., and Lodges 518 and 564, Detroit, Mich., each added four to their former totals. In Clats "B." the outstanding gain, so far this month, was made by Lodge 749 (Trojans), Johnstown, Pa., formerly Friendly City (684) and Flood City (712) lodges, on an enrollment of 17 new members for a total of 25 altogether. The Trojans are now in third Dlace and a very definite threat to the two leaders above .them. Lodge 2», Avella, Pa., edged up a little closer on the heels of the leaders, Lodge 19, Midway, on its fine gain of 10 adult members, while the latter managed to keep the margin btween them at a fairly comfortable level by coming through with 6 more new members. The only other big gain in Class "B" was one of 7 members by Lodge 700 (Harmonizers) of Roundup, Montana. Tfee most ithpressive gain in Class "C" was that of 11 new members by Ledge 762, Hostetter, Pa., moving it up from almost nowhere in the standings to a tie for third place with Lodge 716, Imperial, Pa. This is also a good time to report that a new Juvenile Circle has been organized at Hostetter, which is probably the main reason for the large gain of new members. You will probably recall that Lodge 762 was represented at the 13th Regular SNPJ Convention by a grand prize winner of the ESL 20th Anniversary Campaign. The lodge is only two years old, but in that short period of time has made wonderful progress. We wish it every success with the new Circle. Other better than average gains in this class aré credited to Lodge 245, Lawrence, Pa., Lodge 267. Superior, Wyo., Lodge 485, Port Washingeon, Wis., and Lodge 665, Pittsburgh, Pa., each securing five new members, and Lodge 264, Philadelphia, Pa. and Lodge K, Trinidad, Colo., each with four new additions. The (landings of the twelve leading lodges of each of the three classes iijto which the SNPJ Lodge Campaign is divided are as follows: LEADERS OF THE SNPJ LODGE CAMPAIGN (Aa of May 16, 1947) CLASS "A" New Membera Sygan SNPJ Lodge No. 6 Will Celebrate 43rd Anniversary, Memorial Day, May 30 SYGAN, Pa.—In reading over the I columns of this publication one would be led t0 believe that the Sygan Lodge No. 6 has gone,out of existence. Of course, to the' many members that frequent our club, this is known to be quite untrue; on the contrary, the place is just humming with activity, but no one takes the opportunity to make them kown in the Prosveta. Our bowling season is coming to a close. It has been a very successful season for the teams that have represented us in both the federation tournament and league and also in our local competition. Congratula, tions to these members for having brought the top honors to Sygan and also to the others who competed. May you all have better luck the next season. Also a scene of a lot of activity is qUr Juvenile Circle. Much praise, for a wonderful job,' is due our juvenile manager, Julia Kramzer, and her assistant, Marion Wirant. Next, getting into full swing is our softball team under the management of Steve Horcick. He promises us a real team this year and we're expecting just that. Then, of course, we have our dances* and quite regularly, usually two a month. These have all been the committee has all preparations well taken cire of, with the exception of a few of the minor details. This occasion is the celebration of our 43rd Anniversary to take place on Decoration Day, May 30. As our honored guest of the day we are having the SNPJ Juvenile Director, Bro. Michael Vrhovnik. From him one can always look for a very good speech, and also t^ie films which he promises to have with him. On the program with Bro. Vrhovnik will be our Juvenile Circle with another of their interesting performances This will be followed by dancing the remainder of the afternoon and evening. Of course, the usual air of SNPJ fra-tcrnalism, along with plenty of refreshments and such will prevail The afternoon program will get un def way at 3 o'clock. For tne ever ning dance session the committee has contracted Gus Rocko and his 12-$c. orchestra. With this program we are extending a hearty invitation to all of our friends and neighbors to spend the; afternoon and evening of May 30 at Sygan to celebrate our 43rd anniversary. We assure you a(l i wonderful time and we'll be look ing forward to seeing each and ev very successful. Our next affair is I ery one of you. to be the biggest of the year and I ERNEST KVARTICH.

PH OS VITA WEDNESDAY, MAY l94? henry wallace blasts truman foreign policy More Than 22,000 Hear Former Vice President Condemn the "Truman Doctrine" and the "Tory Coalition" in Congress Killing Progressive Legislation CHICAGO.—When Henry A. Wallace made hi« appearance at the Chicago Stadium last Wednesday evening, May 14, in the pool of a spotlight, the huge crowd of 22,000 people set up the di enthusiastic chant of "We Want Wallace" and "Wallace in '48 M If It was a unique* spectacle to be Forward, Loyalties! Concordions Mark 35th Anniversary hold—a spontaneous demonstration of the people who came to hear Wallace, the man who has Just returned from Europe where he so vehemently criticised th«. 'Truman doctrine" and the admin? istration's foreign policy. It is this policy that Wallace in fighting today at home and abroad. The huge Stadium was filled to overflowing. And the admission price ranged from 60c to $2.40. The size and enthusiasm of the crowd was as significant as Wallace's address, both from a political standpoint and from the opposition to the foreign policy that was launched by Truman two months ago. Wallace moved closer to d threat of a third party when he told the enthusiastic audience: "I say that if the Democratic party betrays its responsibility to the people, the people will have to find other means of political expression." President Truman's name was booed repeatedly during the evening. The former vice president let loose his strongest blast to date at the Truman administration for loosing the Roosevelt principles. Wallace said that a spirit of meanness, selfishness, shortsightedness and fear la today blotting out America's aspiration for peace. "In this un-American spirit," Wallace declared, "a tory coalition in Congress has killed or buried every forward looking program presented by the administration. "In this same spirit the coalition has pasaed vicious and punitive legislation to cripple the trade unions. It has struck at civil liberties. It has smeared men of the highest integrity who were willing to accept public office." • s • Wallace denounced the "bipartisan bloc" in Washington as "undemocratic one-party government," and declared that "Americans demand * two-party system and a liberal party." It was in the spirit of selfishness, shortsigtedncss and fear that the bipartisan bloc "gave birth to a curious mixture of power politics and international carpet bagging known as th« Truman "doctrine," Wallace added. Wallace digressed from his text to say that the Taft Ball-Hartley labor bill was a "vicious act," and that "the people cry out for a veto." Wallace said that he met with leaders of the left in Europe during his tecent tour, "because they apeak for Europe today." • • • "These men are not to be dismissed lightly," he said. "They are not to be bribed off by $400,-000,00(1, und they will not be pried apart from the peoplea they speak for. even by a set of pincers applied by President Truman and Senator Vandenberg. "1 n et also with leaders of the renter and men regarded as conservatives who in (act were well to tt..- I. ft ..( myk. U. Wallace add« <1 "All of theae groups lieggrd ma to tell the people of America of their conviction that America will drive Europe into the handa of Mutate if she trie* to force Europe to Join an anti-Soviet armed camp "They liegged me to tell you their belief that America ran lead the world to |ieace only by under-standing th«- desperate need of Eurcpe for fuel, fix*) and capital and by heloinii to mret that need." • • • Wallace told the rally that "the administration is playing politics with the misery of Europe." He defined the Truman Doctrine" as "a curious mixture of power politics and international carpet bagging," and a "doctrine of unlimited aid to anti-Soviet governments." He added, "I predict that one day we shall bitterly regret the action that Congress has taken." He said that the program he advocated "is the constructive alter, native to the Truman doctrine. It approaches the needs of the world from a standpoint of all humanity. It sets these goals: 'To restore living standards in Europe and Asia to prewar levels —that means investment of S billion dollars a year by America foi five years; to raise living standards of Eastern Europe to thoae of Western Europe—that means investment of 5 billion a year by America for five years. "A further goal for the world to s«t and reach, is the raising of the living standards of Asia to present European levels. "That will require 10 billion of American exports annually latei on, and for 10 years." He said that on his recent trip to Europe he found only one group —the group of extreme right wingers led by Winston Churchill-^ ready to defend the Truman doctrine. • • a Under the leadership of President Roosevelt, Wallace said. "America faced the future with the courage and confidence that the future required. "The government looked at th«* problems of postwar America and called for an economic bill of rights. Today the economic bill of righta is dead just as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration is dead. They were killed in the same way. "They were killed by another spirit in America—th? spirit , oi meanness and selfishness and shortsightedness and fear. This spirit is a betrayal of every principle for which we fought in war."

SALTY, 584. Labor Force To Increase 20 Percent CINCINNATI, Ohio.—"The labor force is growing more rapidly than the population," Ewan Clague, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor, told representatives of local community groups here. "There will be a 20 percent Increase In the labor force in the present decade compared to a 10 per cent growth in total popu. lation. Certain basic trends in population and labor force growth indicate that our population is slowing down, and will reach a peak of 18o million toward the end of this century. Thus, the number of hands to work will 'increase more than the population to be supported. More work can be done and more goods and services produced," he said. Older and younger people arc participating less in the labor force and women ar® Participating more. This will mean that earlier retirement of older beople will create a need for provision tbr thtoi- leisurt: time. Younger peop}« vyUJ be able employer's requirements for more to stay in school longer and meet educational preparation. The in-creaalng labor force of women will create social problems such as provision ot domestic'«er vice and child care. n». << Mr. Clague pointed out that business in the paát has always gone throuáh a series dt ups and downs and tnat plans should be made now for readjustments from war to peace causing fulling prices, un employment, low profits, and other features of bad dimes. "AU-time high in employmefft; income, wages, profits, and other features of bad times. "Al-time high in employ ment, income, wages, profits, prices, and many other economic factors are in evidence today, but when we are up we must expect that tthat eventually we shall go down,'' he said. He advised looking beyond the next business depression to future prosperity periods and brighter prospects for job-gatting and job-holding. He suggested that young people choose « carper with a long-rahge outlook, sine« long-range job prospects transcend the business cycle.

Wallace. Of course, the Slovene American Vitionsl Council at its convention •ill not attempt to dictate the na-Efs foreign policy, but it can excess its stand in the matter. SANS will primarily deal with the nrobk*ms relating to our people here and abroad. That is its purpose. SLOVENIA is the homeland of thousands of Slovenes living in America Nearly all of them are citizens of the United State*. These thousands of Slovene Americans have a deep feeling for their homeland and their relatives there. Thi> is understandable and correct. At the same time they are good citizens of their adopted country. Their record in peace a* in war »peaks of their' love for Amerioa. One of the problems before the convention will be whether to continue the work thus far carried on by SANS. Some think that the mission of SAi^S has been completed and that tht^S^no longer a need for such organization. Others feel that its activities can be expanded. Etbin Kristan, president of SANS, it of the opinion that the council should continue its work chiefly because its full mission has rot been accomplished. ETBIN KRISTAN. who recently marked his 80th birthday, is our ablest statesman and political authority. Moreover, he is our outstanding writer, poet, dramatist, journalist and orator. As a writer, Kristan towers above all and any Slovene of his generation here and abroad. His oratorial powers are outstanding. and his writing ability is still »i n in his articles in our press. As our venerable mentor and leader ho merits all the recognition we can give him. His work among us and for us, as Well as for our people across the sea. has been meritorious and is universally recognized as such. Wcre it not for Kristan. our SANS could never have gained its prominent position. Due credit aoes also to SANS executives as well as the hosts of Jimmy Higginses in the rank and file of SANS.

Circle No. 2 Staged Mother's Day Event For Lodge No. 137 CLEVELAND, O—A Mother's Day program presented by Circle 2, supervised by Marion Tratnik Adams and assisted by Nada and Alma Zagar, for the members of our "Napredne Slovenke" at our last meeting, certainly was heartily applauded by the 55 mothers present As each mother arrived, a red carnation, symbol of the State of Ohio and Slovenia, was pinned on her lapel, by one of the Circls members. When all were seated the juveniles put on a splendid program, demonstrating that with initiative and cooperation, much can be accomplished. This occasion was the Circle's debut as performers. Harmony was prevalent when Ann Lipoid, Lillian Sterk, and Daniella Cesen opened up the program with a "Welcome" song. In honor of the mothers present Antoinette Naglich recited a beautiful Slovene poem titled "Mati.M The SNPJ Choristers, under thp leadership of Prank Plut and accompanied on the piano by his charming wife t Molly, they sang two Slovene songs and a jovial American one, the latter being about "Everybody Happy," which brought about much applause. Some pretty difficult steps were demonstrated by Elaine Slogar with her tap dancing, and we profess a dancing future for her. She has a competitor in her little sister who also can step. No Mother's Day program would be complete without the song "Mother of Mine" which was so nicely recited by Jo Ann Slogar. Daniella Cesen demonstrated her ability to tickle the keys by giving us a piano solo. To Ann Lipoid who acted as mistress of ceremonies we say "Congratulations" for a job. well done. Mrs. Mary Za-verl, the oldest mother present, was the happy recipient of a gift from the Circle. "Happy Birthday" was sung to all with birthdays in May. Special birthday songs were sung for Sis. Jennie Stokel who was celebrating her birthday that day and Sis. Jennie Skuk whose birthday was two days hence. The Circle members then served delicious cookies and tea to all present. Thus the program came to a happy ending with all the members assenting that it was most enjoyable evening. To the juveniles of Circle No. 2, to their supervisor and her assistants, we extend our sincere thanks for an enjoyable evening and congratu late you on you fine work. JOSIE ZAKRAJSEK, Sec'y Napredne Slov. 137 SNPJ. During the war, we had rubber, paper, and tin can drives, we also made scrapbooks for the soldiers, putting jokes, cartoons, and anything of interest in them. We gave these books to the Red Cross to be placed in Vets' Hospitals. The Circle meets twice a week, every Monday and Wednesday. The 2nd and 4th Mondays we have meetings, the first Monday of the month we have a dance. The members bring five cents that buys new records for our victrola. The 3rd Monday of every month, the member» either write letters or articles, or they draw for The Voice of Youth, or they read. We have our own library. After our meetings we have play night, we play dodge ball, volley ball, ping-pong. They also have various games such as checkers, parchessi, etc. Some of the bigger boys play pinochle. During the last few weeks we have been getting around seventy irembers to the meetings, before that we had around fifty. Every Wednesday we have movies, shown to us by Mr. Paul Gerlack. The members charge a small fee to get in; they also bring their friends on this night. The boys had a basketball team last winter, but they didn't do so good; we expect to have a gocd team next fall. Right now everything is baseball, we have about forty boys participating. Jamex Trofino, our athletic representative, right now is up to his neck in work getting the boys outfitted in jerseys and caps; he also is buying their equipment. The girls in the Circle have a softball team. The boys and girls are selling tickets to get money for their ball teams. They're having a drawing for a coffee table and an electric iron. Some of the members of the Circle gave a Mother's Day program for the members of the Trojans, Lodge 749. They were very well received. It's going to be a treat for all of us in Johnstown, to have with us on the evening of our program on June 14. Bro. M. Vrhovnik, Juvenile Director of SNPJ. He is going to show us movies of the 13th regular convention, also Juvenile Circle activities. We were also informed thai the Latrobe Circle will be with us.

The Saturday following our last meeting, a group of Circle members and myself packed lunches and hiked to Bunn Park. The object of the hike was tp> pick flowers, but the children also found plenty of time for awing, slide down the sliding chute, teeter-totee, play in the sand box and really have a good time. After lunch time wc set out in search of violets and were richly rewarded in one of the hollows close to the small lake in the park. , Violets covered the grass and we just didn't know which to pick. Out in the open and on the hills the spring beauties were in bloom and looked as if snow was covering the ground. It certainly was a sight to behold. The girls and boys were echoing oh's and ah's as they ran forward to pick the blossoms. Pictures were taken and after everyone was satisfied to their hearts content we started home planning and looking forward to another hike to the park ■ Our next meeting will be held this Saturday afternoon, May 24, and I'll be seeing all the Circle members then. *» MARY AIDICH, Director. kii'H a Am"lc«n« were «^H and 85.000 injured in acci- «1» involving automobiles which *J turning i#il „ !h§ ,lm# of Know your hand signals ^ u«e lhem!

The Circle grew rapidly under her capable guidance. Mrs. McGrew did many outstanding things during her stay as the Circle's manager. She was with us a year, then left for Pittsburgh, much to our regret. As her assistant, I took her place, but no one really could do that; she left a void which will never be filled. 1 have been manager since Olivia left. Elsie Culkar is assistant manager.

Perfect Circle's Rehearsal Nights CHICAGO.—Perfect Circle members are keeping themselves quite busy these days, and it seems to agree with them. Two nights a week are devoted to rehearsals in preparation for the program that will be presented on Saturday night, June 7, at the SNPJ Hall. It's going to be a minstrel show, "Sho' NufP and everything is being done to make it one of the Circle's best programs to date. Tickets are only fifty cents and can be had from any Circle member. Baseball Notes Practice continues on Wednesday and Friday evenings, and it looks as if we may have to borrow one of these nlghta for an extra rehearaal period or two. It won't be for long though, becauae as soon as we have finished with our pro» gram, we will all buckle down to baseball business, as well as other sports activities. Music Festival Plans are being made for a group of Circle members to attend the Farragut High School Music Festival on Thursday, May 22, at 8 pm. This festival is a semi-annual event and Is now one of the community's outstanding cultural affairs. Many of the Circle teen-age members will participate in this colorful presentation of song and music, therefore making it a double pleaaure for us to attend. ANN SANNEMANN, Director.

Congress wilf be asked to approve fund* (or Korea, and Under, secretary of State Dean Acheson, in a highly significant speech last week, laid the groundwork for future requests on behalf of Western Europe. As in the case of Greece, the need for American aid in both Europe and the Far East is undeniable. America remains the sole great reservoir of undevastated economic power. To aid reconstruction is our inescapable obligation. But it does not follow that our resources and vast economic strength must be used in such a way as to drive ever deeper the wedge between two hostile worlds. Undersecretary Acheson says we must concentrate our assistance "where it will be most effective in building world political and economic stability, in promoting human fieedom and democratic institutions, in fostering liberal trading policies and in strengthening the authority of the United Nations." The purposes sound fine until it is discovered that what Mr Acheson really means is concentrating our assistance in those countries which line up on our side in the ideological contest with Russia. We have already gone a long way toward denying food snd emergency relief to any peoples unfortunate enough to live in geographi cal proximity to Russia. Now Mr. Acheson purposes continuation of export controls for the purpose of guaranteeing that the goods we sell, like those we give or lend, shall go "where we want them to go." One goal of our foreign policy, President Truman said on March 12, "is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion . . , The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want." As Mr. Acheson has made clear, however, American policy does not concern itself with "misery and want" east of the- Trieste-Stettin line. Nor do we officially worry too much about the loss of freedom on our side of the line. We are not exercised about coercion in Spain or Argen tina. We do not den and that Mexico live up to our own definitions of democracy. What we say about freedom and the relief of poverty, then, has a limited application. We are interested in promoting these ideals only so long as, by so doing, we piomote the hard, practical expedient of fashioning a constellation of nations ideologically bound to us rather than to Russis. But is it not preferable that Western Europe look to us? Of course. In seeking that objective, however, Mr. Truman is saying that we can best pibmotc peace by promoting two worlds. He Is ssying thst we csn best protect our national welfare by drawing ever more sharply the dividing line between our world snd Russia's. He is saying that we can best achieve prosperity by using our economic power (as Hitler did) for political purposes. e a e • Will it work? That is the question to be answered. To say that we are only imitating Russia, which atso uses its economic power for political purposes, is np answer. Two wrongs do not make a right, and neither do two errors of policy make the peace which mankind craves. Nor can it be argued that no altenative exists. The alternative is to use our economic power for the nonpoliticsl purpose of building prosperity everywhere, east of Stettin as well as west. That would noj^be easy. It would involve loans to Poland, loana to Czechoslovskis, loans to Romania—even (take a deep breath) loans to Russia. Put a reconstructed world on both sides of the line would have a better chance for peace than the perilous schism now being deepened. Perhaps Mr. Truman thought he could not "sell" such a policy to the American people. Perhaps he thought our necessary economic role in the world had to be "sold" on the basis of fear and hysteria. But the people (whose wisdom this view dangerously underestimates) must tske account of the fact that in thus being "sold" they are asked to "buy" a divided world and a heritage of enmity and suspicion.—(Chicago Sun.) THE UPPER CRUST Three Years of Labor Rule in Saskatchewan, Canada Ru Meyer Haluthka In 1932 a labor party was launched In Canada known „ as the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation. The CCF advocated a program of continuous economic and social planning, expanded social security, beneficial labor legislation, and socialiation of industries to develop the province's resources in the interest of all the people. The citizens of Saskatchewan totaling around 000,000 responded to this bid for social and economic reconstruction by electing forty-four CCF candidates out of a total of fifty-five to the provincial legislature. The laborites took office in June 1944 for a five-year tnm Thomas C. Douglas, a former Baptist minister and lightweight boxing champion of Manitoba, became premier. He organized a cabinet of farmers, teachers, trade unionists, and cooperators to carry out the "socialist" proposals pledged In the election campaign J. H. Sturdy, a former school principal and secretary of the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation, wan made Minister of Recnnstruction and Rehabilitation. An economic advisory *nl planning board including four cabinet ministers and representatives of farm, labor, and cooperative organisations was directed to formulate po|iru* to guide the economic development of the provinre for the neat ien years. Scientists, technical experts, and other persons with special qualifications were recruited to aid the board The Social Welfare Act waa amended to provide for « new WW-fart- Hour it to coordinate all the social services in the province.

The annual Holidays Act grants all emplayees, except farmers, two weeks' vacation a year with pay. The farmers have been aided greatly by the CCF government. A farmer has absolute protection against foreclosure of his home and the land on which it standi. Payment of interest on the mortgage is suspended in any year that the farm fails to yield six dollars an acre All these protective measures stipulate that the farmei is to be protected against "acts of God," but not ugainst his own shiftlessness or inefficiency. An extensive program of farm cooperation has been launched. A model cooperative farm community has a central heating plant, electricity and phone facilities, community cannery, central repair shops, and co-op stores with quick freezing linkers. Manv veterans are being settled on these co-op farms. More hpectacular has been the program of socialising industries. Tlu- government now owns and operates; woolen mills, a boot and shoe factory, a horse meat packing plant, three fish filleting plants, a brick plant, a fur marketing agency, a fire and general Insurance service. a bus line, a housing corporation. and »i timber marketing agency. These publicly owned Industries made a net profit of 9329.000 for the first six months of operations. In spite of the dire predictions of CCF opponenta. these socislist measuics have not led to gov«rn-m« nt bankruptcy The budget has l>eeti balanced. The provincial debt ha« been reduced by 913.000.000 In the year, and the caah on hand was $7 (KkT000 higher than the previous year: Only two new taxes were in-troduced a one cent increase in the gasoline tax to provide for more r«Mtds, and a three-cent-per-acrr tax in mining property.

WORLD EVENTS By Scott Noaring Special pleaders, optimistic liberals and ignoramuses a-plenty spent years telling their audiences that victory for the United Nations and unconditional surrender of the Axis would bring peace, order, democracy and joy to the harried world. I have never accepted that view. On the contrary, I have held that a society organized around a competive grab-and-keep struggle had no reason to expect either order or peace; furthermore, that a grab-and-keep community like ours, already in its dotage, wastes its time and energy in talking about peace because it is in a state of permanent war, civil or international. Nor has private enterpitse been frightened away. Since the CCF i »me into power over four hundred n« w private companies have start-•d business in Saskatchewan.

(10) in thé rehabilitation of Japan as a minor power, with its emperor knd its little-modified economic and social institutions and. finally, to date (11) in the wrangle of foreign ministers that began in Moscow on March 10. Moscow is merely one more link in a long chain of evidence leading to the inescapable conclusion that western civilization has bogged down in a total and permanent war. From that war there is no way of escape so long as the institutions and practices of western civilization persist. Roosevelt and Churchill may not have believed in the theory of peace, by-Inches. They may not have believed in peace at all. But they said they did and, as a means of implementing their faith, they proposed a scries of sectional conferences—dm? on food, one on relief, one to draft a United Nutiona charter, one on finance, one one civil aviation, one on Pan-American union, several Big Two, Big Three, Four and five meetings to determine major policy and, finally. series of treaty-draft ing conferences. When the lost of these pea< e-by.lnches conferences had completed its labors, peace was to have been catablished. Peace was to have be« n concluded without the necessity of facing any of the major isaues which confront western man in his mechanised, urbanised social environment. The plan has failed, as it was from the beginning destined to fail. Wise men do not undertake to croas the ocean In a row boat, and this program was a rowboat without oars or compass. At these sectional dia-eussions—most of them shrouded in secrecy and all <>( them excluding lopreeentalives of the defeated nations—the future of the world was to have been decided. Well, the future of the western world was decided—a future of permanent war. rhaos and *}>cedy disintegration Events turned that way for several good and sufficient reasons, the chief of whuh was that, the life of the planet having l»een unified tech* n.»logically, its political and social future ran no longer fe fragmented and determined locally or sectional, ly. Technically, the world Is one. Kionotnlc. political and social deel -lone which ignore that fact are as meamnfllc»' as englneeimg calculations that takr no account of gravi-tation.

It is Wednesday and I must msil this manuscript on Saturday. The nearest telephone is three miles away, the roads are bad add an ice storm is on; mail goes and comes three time« a week. It is physically impossible for me to ask and get permission to reproduce. (Even if James Burnham were in the next room, however, I would no more ask permission to quote from his book than I would ask permission to look at the State House or any other public building. A manuscript in a man's desk is private; I should neither read-it nor quote it without his permission. But the publication of a book is a public act; once it is on sale, it may be read and should be quotable at will. I do not say I ought .to be allowed to pirate it, but I insist that the copyright limitation on this and other books destroys the very purpose for which an author presumably writes a book —to get his ideas broadcast.) As I was noting a couple of paragraphs back, James Bumham, like President Truman, is saying in effect: "Some nation is going to monopolize atomic energy and run this old world. The U.S.A. is the mightiest nation on earth; in terms of production and fire-power, it is the strongest nation. It is therefore our duty to see that world events move in the direction which is for our best interests." U.S.A. has the means; Truman and Burnham propose that they be useful defensively and offensively wherever necessary. This policy means world empire. All right. It means conscription and USA MPs on every crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. All right. It means war. Still all right—because, if we do not, the Russians (Communists) will. A missionary in China, at the time of the Boxer uprising, style the instruments from the CWnese astronomical observatory, when questioned, he asserted in his defense that he had had reliable information that someone else was going to steal the instruments, so ha got t? them first. Burnham, Truman and the missionary! Whatever "they" propose to do, we will beat them to itl "Do to the other chap what you think he intends to do to you, but do it first." This is the lowest sub-cellar under the vast structure of opportunism. Women Have An Important Role As Wage Earners Washington, D. C.—No government can afford to ignore jpomen workers in its overall pUnning. This view is expressed by the Women s Bureau, U. S. Government of Labor, in its annual report to Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach. "Historicslly-determined s o c 1 mi and economic factors," the report declares, "have assigned to women incressingly important roles in the wage«*arnlng world." Chief among these factors, it Continues, are the nation's need for the goods and services made and performed by women, and the economic need of millions of women to support themselves or supplement the family income. Evidence of the nation's dependence on women, the Bureau pointed out, was the fact that during the war women made up over a third of all workers, further, the 19 million in the labor market today represent close to 28 per cent of sll employed persons. Prior to the wsr, wom^n accounted for about a fourth of the total labor force. Certain industries and occupations. the report shows, are almost entirely dependent on women workers. In 1940 women formed ?5 percent of the nation's teachers. 98 percent of the nurses, two-thirds of the workers who waited on the public in restaurants and hotels, more than nine-tenths of the telephone operators and household employees. They also accounted for two-fifths of those who sold merchandise in shops and stores, and over three-forths of the operatives who made apparel and accessories. The Bureau described as an "unwarranted assumption" the frequently made statement that with the end of the war women no longer had need for remunerative employment. Fully 75 percent of the women interviewed in a survey of 13.-000 women in 10 industrial areas expressed the desire for postwar jobs. Eighty-four in every 100 had to support themselves and. in many cases, dependents Eight in every 100 still had other important uses for their earnings, to pay off debts, save toward the purchaae of a home, or accumulate a nestegg for children's education. According to the Bureaus findings, only 8 women in every 100 worked solely because they liked to work WEDNESDAY.

That perhaps is th^ reason, as well as an explanation, why the international diplomacy is still at war. In this conflict between the East and West, particularly the Soviet Union and the United States, we have read and heard over the radio much about different points of conflict in connection with various so-called peace conferences. First about the Trieste question which was finally resolved, at least temporarily, in a compromise. Then came the recent Moscow conference—as well as the so-called "Truman Doctrine" —which agreed to disagree as to how to make peace with, or for, Germany and Austria. One of the three remaining stumbling blocks among the Big Four 'peacemakers" concerning the proposed Austrian treaty is the Jugoslav demand, supported by the Soviet Union but so far opposed by the Western Powers, is the fusion of the Slovene part of Carinthia with Slovenia. Since there isn't any literature available in the English language which would shed any light on this question; and since it should be of particular interest to the Americans of Slovene or Jugoslav extraction, we are publishing here an excellent historical sketch of the Carinthian Slovenes written by Etbin Kristan. president of the Slovene American National Council, and submitted to our State Department as a Memorandum.—Ed.) MEMORANDUM Concerning the Problem of the Slovenes in Carinthia THE UNITED STATES is the adopted country of many Slovenes who were either born in Carinthia or descended from parents who came from that province where they still havtf many relatives. Quite naturally, they are now deeply concerned about the fate of their kin which undoubtedly will be tragic if the Slovene part of Carinthia shoulfl not be freed from the oppressors * who for more than a thousand years were trying to exterminate or germanize the Slovene population. Indeed, to a great extent they succeeded. For the Slovenes now living in Carinthia are only the last remnants of a once numerous and important race. Altogether, the Slovenes ace now a small nation. Therefore their desire to be united is easily understandable. Their efforts toward a higher cultural life, well know to all impartial observers, are badly hampered by the division of their intellectual forces under three or four different European states. This is the result of the germanistic Haps-burg regime and its slogan of "Divide et impera!". The artificial provincial boundaries by which the main body of the Slovenes was cut off from their brethren in Styria, Carinthia, the Littoral, and Hungary served the purpose of germanization very well, and the Carinthian Nazis are eager to finish the task. But the Slovenes are hopeful that the Germans will not be granted that privilege. The Slovenes were in Carinthia a long time before the Germans appeared. Following the cxhodus of the Lan-gobards—in 968—the Slovenes, coming from the East, occupied the abandoned lands during the sixth, and early seventh century. They arrived together with the Avars who at times acted as their allies but at other times played the role of overlords, which fact caused prolonged fights with alternating luck. There were also other battles with the Bavarians who again at a later time entered into an alliance with the Slovenes for the purpose of halting the onslaught of the more aggressive Franks. Meanwhile, at about 820 A. D„ king Samo became the leader of all Western Slavs in. their struggle .against the Avars, and founded a federal empire with the center in present day Czechoslovakia. It in. eluded the Northern Elbe Slavs, and reached in the south to the Adriatic Sea A part of that large empire formed the Slovene state of Karan-tanlja which comprised not only the entire present Carinthia but also all of Styria. parta of both Tyrol and Salzburg in the west, and in tho north very considerable section of both Upper and Lower Austria. It measured about 30,000 square miles. Carinthia at that time was the partment of Eastern Cooperative Wholesale Delegates to the meeting, who numbered about 300. voted to approve in principle the tentative plans outlined by the committee, to set up a tentative council consisting of two delegates from each co-op and to put the question to their members.

The new "vojvoda" always had to answer all questions preceding his confirm*, tion in the Slovene language which at that time was also spoken at the imperial court. In the 8th century the German "Drang nach Osten" was already strong, and the Carinthian Sloven^ were the first to feel the iron hed The process of germanization start ed with the forced colonization of German peasants on lands that were taken from Slovenes. They fought back 6ut the armed might of the ag. gressors was too much for them. The land grab continued until the 15th century, and reduced the Slovene ethnical territory in such a manner that only one third of Carinthia wan left to them. The germanized names of towns and villages with their unmistakably Slovene roots still remind one of their Slovene origin; besides, there are innumerable names, composed with the adjective "Windisch", a word which the Germans substitute for "Slovene." • The d.ispossessions of the Slovent peasants were accompanied by political subjugation and economic oppression which resulted in a numbei of peasant rebellions. The Turkish invasions, which in 1473 for the firsl time reached Carinthia, contributed much to the unrest. The peasant: had to pay exorbitant special taxe« for the maintenance of the hireling army and for fortifications whici were never built. After the Turkish attack the peo pie organized a Peasant Union which gained members and support, ers in all parts of Slovenia. Thai organization at first used peacefui means, such as petitions, delegations meetings, and the like, but achieved no amelioration. The second invasion followed ir 1478. About ten thousand Turk harassed the land for months with out ever encountering any resist ance by the soldiery. As all com plaints remained futile, the Germar nobles were accused of surreptiti ously collaborating with the Turks In 1478 the desperate peasant! arose in arms and, in spite of pooi equipment, had some successes. Bui ultimately they were defeated—noi by the feudal lords, but by thi Turks. There followed some insurrection! of lesser importance.
