Kdo jih bo dobil? "Private Enterprise" zahteva da sedaj, ko je vojne konec, naj se vlada teh industrij čimprej iznebi. Toda med kapitalisti je v tem velika tekma. Znani zapadni industrijalec Kaiser bi rad s pomočjo nakupa teh vladnih tova-ren ob Pacifiku, v državi Utah, in z nakupom jeklarne v Pueblu rad zgradil novo jeklarsko cesarstvo, ki bi lahko tekmovalo tudi z jeklarskim trustom (United States Steel Corporation). Ta trust ima svoj tovarniški in rudniški imperij največ v vzhodnih državah ter v Illi-noisu, Indiani in Minnesoti. Zato je baje jeklarski trust pripravljen vladne jeklarne in ladjedelnice na zapadu kupiti za višjo vsoto, kot jo ponuja Kaiser, potem pa jih bi prepustil "počitku". Vmes se urivajo špekulanti, ki bi radi na stroške teh vladnih milijard postali čez noč multimilijonarji. Od vlade bi tovarne in materijal poceni kupili, potem pa ga drugim drago prodali. * Dve važni industriji vladna svojina Nad 60 odstotkov vse aero-planske industrije je v vladnih rokah- Ker ne izdelujemo več bombnikov in drugih bojnih letal, sedaj ta industrija počiva in privatne kompanije imajo priložnost, da jo pokupijo. Zanjo ponujajo smešno nizke cene- Isto velja za industrijo umetnega gumija In pa za mnoge kemične obrate. Ni čudno, da je v Washir,gtonu vse polno meše-tarjev, ki preže, kako bi si s pomočjo vplivnih oseb nagrabili ta bogastva. Na drugi strani pa govore o zvišanju življenskega standarda za 50 odstotkov.

John Krebel, tajnik. Poslanci, ki nalagajo davke, so iih sebi olajšali Ko so si člani poslanske zbornice povišali plačo za $2,500 na leto vsakemu, so ob enem sklenili, da je to le po višek za stroške v zvezi s službo, ki jo vrše. Radi tega je ta povišek prost dohodninskega davka, dočim mora delavec plačati po dovoljenem odbitku za vzdrževanje družine dohodninski davfek od vse ostale vsote, dasi je povprečni zaslužek ameriškega delavca znatno nižji kot pa znaša vsota, določena kongresnikam za "kritje stroškov".

M»»MIM»H Iz SANSovega urada 3935 W. 26th St., Chicago 23, ILL. Ali bo Trst Jugoslovanski? Tajniki vnaniih uradov Amerike. Rusije, Velike Britanije, Francije in Kitajske so se 10. septembra vzbrali v Londonu k posvetovanju, da sestavijo mirovno pogodbo, katero bodo zavezniške sile predložile Italiji. V tej pogodbi bodo vključeni tudi pogoji« pod katerimi bodta-lija sprejeta med zavezniške združene narode. In med temi pogoji je tudi vprašanje bodočnosti italijanskih kolonij v Afriki, vprašanje gotovih otokov v Sredozemlju, vprašanje avstrijske Tirolske ter za Slovence in Jugoslovane najvažnejše vprašanje — bodočnost Trsta in slovenskega Primorja- Ali bodo zavezniki upoštevali pravične zahteve Slovencev in vrnili Trst in vse slovenske pokrajine pod Italijo Sloveniji, kamor po vsej pravici spadajo? To vprašanje bo rešeno te dni. Rešeno pa bo tudi vprašanje, če bodo zavezniške diplomatske sile tudi pošteno in iskreno izvajale obljube, ki sb jih dale zasužnjenim narodom v Atlanski deklaraciji Roosevelta in Churchilla, v deklaraciji o "štirih svobodščinah" in v dru-' gih pomembnih izjavah o demokraciji, enakopravnosti in pravici do samoodločbe vsakega naroda, ki je šel v krvavo borbo proti italijanskemu fašizmu in nemškemu nacizmu. V ameriškem tisku in po radiu se vodi zadnje čase silna propaganda proti "komunistični" Jugoslaviji, proti Bulgariji ' in drugim slovanskim državam-Proti SLOVANSKIM DRŽAVAM! Nasprotno pa čitamo in • slišimo zelo simpatične besede za Italijo, o njenih "velikih doprinosih" za zmago zaveznikov, o njeni borbi proti "rdečemu navalu" in pa o namigljajih da morajo biti njeni mirovni pogo To je nepobitno dejstvo. Avstrijska nakana, da ju ponemči in kasneje poitalijanči ter na ta način onemogoči razvoj slovan* stva ob Jadranu se je le delno posrečila. Vzlic posilne italija-nizacije Slovencev in naseljevanja južnih Italijanov v slovensko Primorje, je dve tretjini naroda ostalo slovenskega. Niti sovražni italijanski režimi, niti Mussolinijev fašizem, ki je imel največ opore in razvoja pri tržaških nacionalistih, nista mogla tega narodnostnega sorazmerja predrugačiti. To je bili dokazano zlasti v osvobodilni borbi, v kateri so se tako hrabro in požrtvovalno pokazali ne samo slovenski Primorci, temveč tudi antifašistični Italijani, ki ne marajo več nazaj v staro Italijo, Vse antifašistične in demokratične sile v Trstu, Gorici, Istri in drugih delih Primorja, odločno odklanjajo pripadati Italiji in so opetovano zahtevale, ia spadajo pod demokratično ederativno Jugoslavijo. Če pomeni končana vojna zmago nad fašizmom in nacizmom, tedaj pomeni tudi zmago za zahteve antifašističnih in antinacionali- itičnih narodnih množic • ^ Trst je spadal pod Avstrijo skoraj 500 let predno je bila ustanovljena združena Italija pod savojsko dinastijo. In na isti način je spadala pod Avstrijo tudi vsa ostala Slovenija, politično razdeljena v Koroško. Štajersko, Kranksko, Goriško in Trst z okolico. Italijanski imperializem se je pohotno oziral na slovenske • gozdove in planine, na dalmatinsko obal in njene biserne otoke v Jadranu, katerega je Italija že dolga leta hotela spremeniti v "mare nostrum". Prva prilika se ji je nudila leta 1915 ko je. Avstriji in Nemčiji "prijateljko" naklonjena Italija sprejela od Anglije podkupnino v obliki slovenskega Primorja, Istre in Zadra ter napovedala M M»»l MM M MM M »M M »M IM M »♦♦♦♦»♦»»♦»♦ škem čeZdalje glasnejše opor- KOMENTARJI MMMMMMMM4M M M > UM M M M MMM M M M M I Kaj je i pošto iz starega kraja?

Zakaj ne? Nekaj odgovora na to vpraša-lje leži v spremembi angleške in deloma tudi ameriške vnanje politike napram Jugoslaviji in vzhodni Evropi. Dokler je bil Tito eflina borbena sila v Jugoslaviji, so bili zavezniki moralno obligirani podpirati ga, dasi-ravno so do poletja 1944 podpirali tudi Mihajloviča, ki se je borij z Nemci proti zaveznikom I to je — proti narodno osvobodilni vojski).

Kje stoji naša Amerika v tem vprašanju? Zaključki konference v Londonu bodo dajali jasne odgovore na vsa ta vprašanja. Mirko O. Kuhel. tajnik.

UNRRA IS MIXED UP News that the finatices of the United Nations Relief Administration, set up to dole out relief to starving populations in other parts of the world, are balled up to the point where a scandal impends is not surprising. That makes UNRRA fit with the capitalist system under which it developed. For capitalism is just about the most ridiculously sna r led up piece of business the world has ever seen. If it vvasnt so serious it would be downright funny to watch the antics of an economy whose managers are worried, almost to the point ot welcoming another war, by the prospect of having "too many" people to help them do the vvork that needs doing. As to UNNRA itself, our chief concern is not so much about how the finances are accounted for. More important. vve submit, is the question of what purpose relief aims to accomplish. VVhat we think we see is that food is about to be used for a quite different purpose than merely to feed hungry people. The big purpose ol UNNRA is not nutritional, but political. The end sought is the paci-fication of large masses of people and the side-tracking of revolutionary tendencies. Once we savv a runaway horse who had been captured. And as he stood trembling and red-eyed, seemingly wondering vvhether he had not better make another break, his owner persuaded the animal to uccept a lump of sugar. Immediately poor old Dobbin quieted dovvn and permitted a halter to be slipped around his neck. UNNRA is supplying the sugar. But close at hand stand the labor exploiters of the vvorld ready to app!y the halter of class control.— Reading Labor Advocate. UNITY PAYS If British labor has profited by the experience of the Nevv Deal, let me say that American labor can learn even more from the ex-perience in England. One of the most obvious of these lessons is that British labor is so thoroughly united. Whatever differences of opinion may prevail vvithin the ranks of labor in England, there are no splits and no divisions in the performance of their chief task s. There is no CIO-AFL split; there are no contending groups in the political field. Policies hammered out in discussions are conclusive and binding on ali the components of the British Labour Party. British labor has also shown an unusual capacity for vvinning the confidence of elements other than the industrial population. Labour Party candidates have scofed victories not alone in industrial and mining districts, but also among the middle class and even among the farm population. Indeed, the label "Labour Party" is a misnomer under sueh circumstances, for under the emblem of the Labour Party one vvill find ali the liberal and progressive forces vvhich in this country do not commonly group themselves vvith labor. I have great faith that the British Labour Party vvill achieve the success it deserves. I believe that vvithout turmoil and turbulence, but in observance of aH the traditions of British life, and in observanco »ven of its ceremonial procedures. the labor government vvill put its program into effect to the advancement of the vvelfare of the people.— Max Zaritsky, President, United Hatters, Cap and Millinery VVorker.?

The Enslaved Peoples Are Llberated By JOSEPH DRASLER (Formerly an Associate Editor of Proletarec) TRY IT IN SOUTH CAROLINA Broadcaster Frank Kingdon, subbing for Winchell, Sunday night bated this one out: "Secretary of State Bymes vvants to have a free eleetion in Bulgaria to see if it vvorks there. so he can try it out later on South Carolina." ABOLITION OF LEND-LEASE By RAYMOND HOFSES, Editor, Reading Labor Advocate I AM NOT prepared to argue that the Roosevelt policy of lend-lease should continue forever; there is no reason why this nation should vvork to supply the needs of the vvhole vvorld vvithout receiv-ing adequate compensation. On the other hand, however, I suggest for the consideration of thoughtful American vvorkers that the abolition of lend-lease vvas hastened by the vlctory of the British Labor Part? vvith a Socialist program. Had the British Tories been kept in povver, and if the Labor Party had been rejeeted by as large a maJority as the one vvhich svvept it into povver—and especially of ali of the rest of Europe vvere not shovving unmistlkable signs of svvinging to the left — lendlease probably vvould have been ended some time, but not novv. For then the Sokolskys and the Peglers, and aH the rest of those high-priced defenders of status quo. vvho are paid to vvrite vvhat big business vvants vvorkers to read, vvould not have overstepped themselves as they did vvhen they shouted against helping Socialist Britain build a nevv order. And then the policymakers of America vvould have seen—as any in-telligent person must see — that, although the shootlng has stopped, the vvar vvill not realljr be over until the vvounds of the vvar are at least In the proces« of heallng and at least thoae vvho vvere Amer-lca's allies are able to do necessar? things for themselves. VVHAT WE CAN expect novv— and this it vvhat this column has been predieting —- is another plan vvhich vvill enable capitalist America to help Britain and the rest of Europe under conditions setis-factory to the ovvning class of the U. S A. For practically avery nation In Europe — and this is as true o t England as it Is of any nation on the mainland—food Is of first fm-portance Novv, vvith the lend-lease at an end, American reactlonarles are hoping ta use food as a vveapon to forea the vvorld to accept the kind of system that vvill fit American capitalist interests. Ifs a dirty deal, to be sure. Ifs a threat of economic isolationism and a poliev more calculated to force ali of Lurope into the Soviet orbit than to achieve the democ-racy for vvhich Americans thought they vvere fighting? But ifs just the kind of thing that might have been expected. Certainly, if it is j good policy to lend-lease billions of vvealth and sacrifice millions of lives for the preservation of a private-profit economy, it is not, good to continue helping people who seem ready to serap that I economy in their ovvn nations. So American capitalists obviously are reasoning. The way American policy-makers are aeting novv — and the promptness vvith vvhich they take that aetion—vvould not be consid-ered sensible in any vvalk of life. Imagine a policeman vvho ar-rests thugs in the act of beating a citizen to death. He sends the offender to jail, but he does not leave the vietim prostrate in the gutter. VVhat vvould be done in that čase is that the beaten man vvould be hurried to a hospital and cared for, not forever, but until he is again able to care for himself. But the U. S. A. novv is ready to let its badly-injured companions in struggle take care of themselves unless they submit to the vvishes of labor exploitors. Naturally, it may be argued, a capitalist economy can not be ex-pected to help Britain and the rest of Europe establish Socialism. If the British plan for the elimina-tion of the profit system Is sue-cessful the vvorkers of America vvill have an object lesson from vvhich they may profit. Just as naturally, hovvever, a Socialist America vvould not act that way. If% thi« nation of ours vvere ovvned by the people vvho In-habit It, and if vvealth vvere being produced for use Instead of for profit, American policymakers vvould be just as eager to see Socialism succeed in other nations as capitalists are to preserve In temational capitalism. Continued) After our regiment fought for j Kaiserlautern and captured the large german city. we moved in| and took over vvhat vvas left. There vvere dead horses ali over the reads. and shattered euipment of ali kinds everywhere. Poles and Rusians and other liberated peoples vvere overloaded vvith bundles trudging along—and stili looking around thc debris for something else they could add to their posses-sions. And from everywhere along thc roads came the prisoners—ali ages—giving themselves up by the hundreds. This happened ali over —throughout our advance, and the prisoners multiplied so fast .that vve hardly handle them. VVhen vve vvent into Kassel, vvhich vvas almost completely destroyed by our planeš vvith fire-bombs, the Ger-mans vvere stili turning out tiger-tanks in a huge factory in one end of the city vvhile vve vvere invading the opposite end. VVhile in Nurnburg, vve savv a U. S. O. shovv at the famous Sports-palatz, Luitpoldarena, tke largest stadium in the vvorld. At one end there vvas a huge podium from vvhich Der Fuehrer addressed the cheering throngs before vve came along and spoiled his game. From this mammoth stage vve savv our ovvn shovv, five hundred of us, and vve felt lost in this plače. As I remember, there vvere four slender columns in back of this great stage. on vvhich there stili vvere huge panels decorated vvith svvastikas. On either side of these banners vvere tvvo great, bronze, German eagles; one of them had holes through it and a part of the outer vvall vvas also damaged, othervvise the great masses of vvhite stone vvere unharmed, vvhile Nurnberg, Nuremberg, clty itself vvas in com-plete ruins. In southern Germany trains are running but it is ali military traffic, either American or German troops being shifted around or our food and gas supplies coming in. In this part of the country rail-roads vvere not damaged except in the larger cities vvhere they had sizeable railrogd yards. It differs quite a hit from vvhat the Germans did in Frfence vvhere aH bridges v*ere destroyed and miles upon miles of railroatis systematirally blovvn up, by tying a fevv sticks of dynamite to the rails every 50 feet and setting the explosives of sirrtu]taneously vvith electric prim-ers. The only transportation the villagers have is the daily milk truck vvhich pleks up as many as he can load on top o his milk cans. The stream of returning German soldiers and refugees along vvith others shif.ing from plače to plače is endless. Most of them, hovvever ride on bycicles, for in this coun-try the bicycles take the plače of the automobile in our country It is surprising the amount of luggage they are able to load on a bike. The radio programs, novv that our army controls them in this zone of occupation, «u almost typical American programs you get at home. The nevvs, of course. is broadcasted to the German people in their ovvn language. German nevvspapers, the Muuchener-Zei-tung published in Munich, and the Augsburger-Anzeiger published in Augsburg, both under control of thc American Army, are delivered each vveek, coming by way of the milk truck. They are snaped up avidly by the newshungry people. most of vvhom Co not have radios. and if they do have them, they are out of order and no supplies to repair them. Eight weekly nevvspapers are being published in the American zone of occupation. Their total circulation is about five million. according to the army nevvs, paper. "Starš and Stripes." This makes about one paper for every five Germans. Originally distribut-ed free, the papers are novv sold for 20 pfenings, or about tvvo cents per copy. German civilians are so utarved for nevvs that second-hand copies bring up to tvvo marks — 200 times their original priče, on the black market. At the present time papers are being published in Frankfurt, Essen, Kassel, Heidel-berg, Brunsvvick. Bamberg, Munich and Cologne. BLACK MARKET , IN CHILDREN EXPOSED A vvriter in thc St. Louis Post Dispatch — a nevvspaper vvhich is edited vvith exceptional courage and intelligence—tells us there Is a "black market in children." On the plea that "vve must vvin the vvar," state and federal regulations have been relaxed and employers have been quick to take advantage of the situation. Before tne vvar. less than a million children betvveen 14 and 17 vvere employed. Novv the number is 2,750,000, and it is estimated that before the year is out the total vvill reach 5,000,000.

COAL SUPPLY Cessation of hostilities vvith Japan has produced cancellation of millions upon millions of dollars of vvar contracU, vvith the resultant slackening in the demand of coal. As vvas to be expected, the scare stories about the shortage of coal for the fall and vvinter of 1945-1946 have lessened somevvhat, but there persists current reports from VVashington of a probably shortage. Hovv sueh a shortage may come about has not been explained, for the simple fact remains that there are enough miners available to produce aH the coal needed in the coun{fy — and for export to Europe as vvell.

Congress came back to vvork September 5, its sttmmer vacation over and a long list of must" legislation facing both Houses and Senate. , Full employment; unempolyment compensation; social security changes; polltax repeal and permanent FEPC; better lavvs for veteran's aid; health: housing and the like are high on the people's agenda. Despite the crylng need for sueh legislation, despite appeals by President Truman, some forces in Congress are doing their utmost to delay and frustate passage of the needed bills. These forces are on both sides of Congress; Republican and Democratic alike. In the House, "for example, Rep. Doughton (D., N. C.) uses his position as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee to throvv eold vvater on his ovvn inadequate unemployment compensation bili—vvhich he introduced vvith the greatest reluctance and only after considerable pressure. Rep. Knutson, from the Republican side of the committee, fights against any form of aid to the unemployed or to the nation'* purchasing povver. In the Senate, Sens. Byrd (D., Va.) and Taft (R., O.) vie vvith each other in attacking the Kilgore unemployment compensation bili. On the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, Sens. Taft and Austin (R., Vt.) sing a duet of opposition to the full employment bili. Predictions are freely made that both the Kilgore bili aand the full cmployment bili vvill be thorough!y emasculated before they are passed. These predictions are being made vvhile the bills vvere stili in committee before Congress has formally reopened. The ansvver to these predictions lles in the hands of the voters back home. If they let themselves be heard in Congress novv and throughout the rest of the session, the.v can up&et the predictions and make Congress vvork for security and prosperit.v.—The CIO Nevvs....... DETROIT, MICHIGAN, and Madison, VVisconsin, are planning to adopt the Philadelphia system of taxing the incomes of "daytime citizens," vvho earn their money in the cities but live in the suburbs 223 MILLIONS PROFIT FROM VVAR INSURANCE Private insurance companie* passed up a fine piece of business vvhen they refused to issue policies against vvar damage to property. Uncle Sam took over the job and cleaned up a profit of $223,000.-000, in spite of the fact that rates vvere exceptionally lovv. Damages amounted to only $70,000. There is some controversy over vvhat should be done vvith the mo-ney — vvhether to return it to policyholders or keep it in the Treasury. The decision vvill likely be that, since the government took the risk, it should retain the profits "Soft" for "Kaiser Bill's" Grandson "Kalser BilPs" grandson marries the daughter of a brevver! That vvould have been impossible before the first VVorld VVar, but the market for royalty is "vveak" these days and threatens to get much vveaker. The charming bride is Lady Brigid Katharine Rachel Guinness. Her forebears on the Guinness side piled up an immense fortune through the sale of the famous "stout" vvhich bears their name. They accumulated so much money that Lady Brigid s grandfather purchased a title, Earl of Iveagh. That put the Guinness family in the top social set, but stili far removed from royalty. Hovvever, vvhen this started, Prince Friedrich George Wilhelm Christoph of Prussia vvas interned as an "enemy agent" and shipped to Canada. In the course of time he developed suffcient "puli" to get back to England, visit at the "great houses" and finally marry Lady Brigid and her fortune. We've been told many times that "Kaiser Bili" started his vvorld \var bu?ineo Ifs a little diseoncerting to find that his grandson has been permitted to vvander around loose and to finally get his hands on one of the biggest bags of money in England.—Labor, VVashington, D.C. 38 MILLION MEMBERS IN RUSSIA'S RURAL CO-OPS The cooperative movement in the USSR numbers 38 million members, according to Theodore Bayer, vvriting in Soviet Russia Today.

JAIL: Plače of refuge vvhere criminals are housed and fed at public expense of 85c a day, vvhile the honest unemptoyed are allovved 15c a day per person. Hovv Not to Reduce Taxes A simple, attractive and thoroughly deceptive tax proposal has been made by Representative Knutson of Minnesota, number one Republican on the House Ways and Means committee. He vvould cut aH personal income taxes 20 per cent. Very easy indeed, and it has that niče look of impartiality vvhich is found in the vvorst tax system. Treat everybody alike. Make aH taxes one-fifth lovver. The day laborer vvho novv pays $10 vvill save $2. The man vvho pays $1,000,000 vvill save $200,000. Right there is vvhere the joker becomes visible. During the vvar, income taxes vvere laid on families vvhose earnings vvere not enough to live on. They vvere taken out of food and clothing The family vvhich novv pays $10 a year connot afford to pay any income tax at ali. It should not have to. But the man vvho pays $1,000,000 a year is just as able to do so tomorrovv as yesterday, and there are sound reasons why he should. Our tax svstem should be revised to maintain consumer buying povver at the bottom level of incomes, and absorb excess savings at the top. Heavy taxation of huge incomes is necessary not only to pay war costs, but, through the resulting government cxpenditu.es, to keep nll money at vvork. Mr. Knutson's plan takes no account of any of these necessities. It is a typical and very shortsighted effort to restore Andrevv Mcllon's tax system vvhich did much to bring on the great depression of the nineteen thirties.—The Chifago Sun.
