LONDON, 23. jan.—Besednik poveljstva nemških ali je nazna nil, da ao ruake oklopne kolone v prodiranju preko zapadne Polj-ske v smeri Poznana dospele do reke Oder ▼ kraju, ki Je oddaljen samo 138 milj od Berlina. Od okupacije Varšave pred šestimi dnevi ao Rusi prodrli 150 milj daleč v smeri Berlina.
London, 23. jan.—Ruske čete, ki se vale od Varšave proti za-padu, so udrle na ozemlje, ki je oddaljeno samo 150 milj od Berlina, poroča Moskva. Druge sovjetske sile so zožile jeklen obroč okrog Oppelna, glavnega mesta južne Šlezije, in dospele do točke, ki leži 37 milj od El-binga, pristaniščnega mesta ob Baltiškem morju.
Govornik na moskovski radio-postaji je dejal, da je odločilna ura za Nemčijo prišla. Prej je Moskva naznanila, da so kolone ruske armade pod poveljstvom maršala Gregorija Žukova prodrle 38 milj daleč preko zapadne Poljske v smeri Berlina. Prve so se .približale Poznanu, tretjemu največjemu poljskemu mestu in nemški vojaški trdnjavi v prodiranju proti Berlinu.
Nacijska oborožena sila se krha pod udarci sovjetskih armad v vseh krajih fronte, ki se razteza od Baltiškega morja na severu do Budimpešte na jugu. Rusi so ujeli več tisoč sovražnikov in razbili ter zaplenili čez 700 tankov v ofenzivah. Samo armada maršala Ivana S. Koneva, ki je invadirala Šlezijo, je ubila in ujela 81,000 nemških vojakov v desetih dneh.
Sovjetske kolone so prodrle do ozemlja, ki je oddaljeno osem milj od Oppelna in 30 milj od Bresfave, glavnega mesta severne Šlezije ob reki Oder. Bresla-va je deveto največje nemško mesto. Nemške vojaške posadke v Gleivvitzu, Hindenburgu in Beuthenu, industrijskih mestih, so obkrožene in v nevarnosti uničenja.	V
Druge sovjetske armade so v ofenzivi na Poljskem, vYVzhodni Prusiji in Čehoslovakijfc. Koliko Nemcev je padlo v bitkah s sovjetskimi četami na teh frontah se ni razkrito.
Evakuacija prebivalcev iz Bre-slave, Koenigsberga in drugih mest je v teku. Berlin poroča, da je samo v Vzhodni Prusiji v akciji sovjetska sila čez milijon mož. Cez 30 nemških divizij je v pasti in v nevarnosti uničenja samo v Vzhodni Prusiji. Ruske armade so v zadnjih 24 urah okupirale čez 1750 mest in naselbin na Poljskem, v Šleziji in v Vzhodni Prusiji. Insterburg in Allenstein, trdnjavski mesti v Vzhodni Prusiji, sta padli. Rusi so prebili nacftske bojne črte v južnovzhodni Šleziji.
Nepotrjeno poročilo pravi, da je Hitler odpotoval na vzhodno fronto in prevzel poveljstvo nemških sil v kritični uri. Druga vest pravi, da Nemci grade utrdbe zunaj Berlina.
Voditelji nacijske stranke so pozvali vse Nemce, ki morejo "osKi orožje, naj se pridrfižijo branilcem dežele, obenem pa so priznali, da je Berlin v nevarnosti zaradi prodiranja ruskih ar mad proti za/Udu. -
Pariš. 23 jan —Nemška izboklina v Belgiji ae je zrušila/ pod udarci zavezniških sil. se glasi naznanilo. Bombe, katere so metali ameriški in britski letalci, so ¿a/bile čez tri tisoč nemških
tankov in motornih vozil, število, ki zadostuje za opremitev ene oklopne armade. Bombe so razdejale tudi čez tisoč železniških vagonov v napadih na nemške zalagalne linije v ozadju fronte.
Prva in tretja ameriška armada sta zdrobili odpor Nemcev pri St. Vithu in v Luksembur-ški. Operacije sil na kopnem podpirajo bojna letala z bombardiranjem železniških mostov in cest, po katerih beže Nemci.
Čete druge britske armade so se približale reki Wurm v kraju, kjer se ta izliva v reko Roer, po okupaciji Selstena, Hontena in Laffelda.	,

Razprava o načrtu obveznega dela
Klavzula proti .
zaprti delavnici
■ ■
Washington, D. C.. 23. jan.— Odsek za vojaške zadeve, kateremu načeluje kongresnik May, demokrat iz Kentuckyja, je odobril zakonski načrt obveznega dela in uključil klavzulo proti zaprti delavnici. Načrt bo sedaj predložen nižji zbornici v razpravo.
Gotovo je, da bo klavzula proti zaprti delavnici izzvala opozicijo delavskih unij. Celo oni člani odseka, ki so glasovali za njo, so priznali, da je protidelav-ska. Avtor te je kongreanik Andrews, republikanec iz New Yorka.
Klavzula določa, da vsaka oseba, ki mora sprejeti delo v smislu načrta obveznega dela, ima pravico odločitve glede pristopa ali nepristopa v unijo. Nobena ni obvezana glede pristopa v unijo, če noče.
Namen klavzule je v bistvu razveljavljenje pogodb, sklenjenih jned unijami in delodajalci, ki aoločajo zaprto delavnico. Glasovanje o klavzuli se je vršilo za zaprtimi vrati. Trdi se, da je 14 članov kongresnega odseka glasovalo za klavzulo, 10 pa proti.

Poslanec Acland kritizira Churchilla
Kairo. Egipt. 23. jan. — Prva znamenja, da bo spor med grškimi političnimi grupami končan, so se pokazala. Sem dospelo poročilo pravi, da se bodo pričela mirovna pogajanja med generalom Plastirasom, predsednikom nove grške vlade, in repre-zentanti levičarske fronte za narodno osvoboditev v četrtek.
Povabilo seprezentantom te fronte, naj se udeleže konference, je poslal atenski nadškof Da-maskinos, grški regent. Uradniki mednarodnega Rdečega križa so dobili zagotovilo od levičarjev, da bodo osvobodili vse talce, katere drže, z izjemo onih, ki so obtoženi vojnih zločinov in sodelovanja z nemškimi vojaškimi avtoritetami v času okupacije.
_ Ta razvoj dogodkov kaže, da se je položaj v Grčiji izboljšal. Strasti se sicer še niso polegle in lahko povzroče nove komplikacije.
Več voditeljev stare grške liberalne stranke je še v Kairu. Med temi je Sophocles Venize-los, rfin slovitega Eleutheriosa Venizelosa, borilca za svobodo Grčije. On je dobil |>ovabilo, naj se vrne v Grčijo. Sophocles Ve-nizelos je za uključitev levičar-

JEKLARSKE DRUŽBE ZA RAZGOVORE Z LEWIS0M
Predloii naj zahteve, preden poteče veljavnost pogodbe .
ZALOGE PREMOGA SE ČRPAJO
Washington. D. O, 23. jan.— Jeklarske kompanije so po svojih reprezentantih v vojnem delavskem odboru pozvali Johna L. Lewisa, predsednika rudarske unije, naj predloii mezdne zahteve, preden poteče Veljavnost sedanje pogodbe z operatorji.
Reprezentanti so v svojem poročilu naglasili zaskrbljenost, ker se zaloge premoga krčijo. Če nastane spor v pogajanjih med rudarsko unijo in operatorji, ki lahko ustavi produkcijo premoga, bo lahko prizadeta tudi jeklarska Industrija. Da se to prepreči, je treba takoj storiti potrebne korake.
Benjamin F. Fairless, predsednik korporacije United States Steel, je priporočal hitro akcijo, da se odvrne nevarnost komplikacij v pogajanjih glede sklenitve nove pogodbe med rudarsko unijo in operatorji.
Rudarska unija še ni predloži la specifičnih zahtev operatorjem, toda pričakuje, da ne bo čakala dolgo. I«ew!s še ni komentiral razpleta. Drugi uradniki UMWA ao izjavHi, da je zapustil Washington in da se bo vrnil čez nekaj dni.
Beaedniki jeklarske industrije so izjaviti, da i Up korhpitflje, katerih produkcijska kapaciteta je 51 odstotkov, samo za deset dni premoga, ostale pa za tri tedne. Podprli so tudi amendira-ni zakonski načrt glede obveznega dela, ki }e pred kongresom.
Uradniki vojnega delavskega odbora sodijo, da bo jeklarska industrija Izgubila več delavcev, ko bodo moški v starosti 26 do 30 let pozvani v armado, čeprav spada v vrsto vojnih industrij. General T, J. Hayes je razkril, da bo morala jeklarska industrija zadostiti potrebam armade in mornarice.

Poljaki v Londonu alarmirani
Ubežna vlada sestavlja poslanico
London. 23. jan.—Člani ubeine poljske vlade, katere predsednik je Tomasz Arciszewski, so vznemirjeni zaradi prodiranja ruskih armad preko Poljske. Bojazen prevladuje, da ne bodo imeli nobene besede v odločitvah glede bodočnosti Poljske.
Arciszewski in člani njegove vlade sestavljajo spomenico, katero bodo naslovili Veliki Britaniji in Ameriki, V tej bodo ponovili zahtevo, da mora začasna vlada, katero je Rusija priznala za legalno in je njen sedež v Varšavi, odstopiti. Odstopitev naj bi bil prvi korak, da se zaščiti svoboda ln neodvisnost Poljske.
Znamenja kažejo, da poljska ubežna vlada ne bo dosegla ničesar. Britski premier Churchill ji je že večkrat.svetoval, naj pristane na zahtevo Moskve glede ureditve meje med Poljsko in Rusijo ni* Curzonovi liniji.
Poljski listi v Londonu nsps-dajo začf&no poljsko vlado v Varšavi. Očitajo ji med drugim, "da hoče likvidirati vse poljske rodoljube, med temi člane tako-zvane notranje armade, ki so lojalni ubežni vladi v Londonu." Listi trdijo, da so člani vlade v Varšavi komunisti, lutke Moskve, katerih Vodja ni niti poljski državljan. .
Medtem pa je vlada v Varšavi objavila manifest z apelom na prebivalce v poljskih ^»krajinah, naj se pridružijo sovjetskim silam v prediranju proti Berlinu.

Rutenija v okviru Sovjetske unije
Vzrok za spor s Ceho-slovakijo odstranjen

Parla. 23. jan.—Po mnenju poučenih krogov je sovjetska Rusija dosegla nov uspeh v prizadevanjih glede zaštMte svojih mej, ko je dr.' Edvard Bene&, predsednik Cehoslovakije, dal zagotovilo, da Rutenija ne bo oostala predmet prepira med Cehi in Rusi.
Rutenija, ki je znana tudi pod imenom karpatska Ukrajina, bo postala provinca aovjetske Ukrajine. To bodo tvorile pokrajine, ki so doslej spadale pod Rusijo, Poljsko in Cehoslovakijo. Čeho-slovaiki državniki ao izjavili, da niso marali Rutenije, ko jim je bila podeljena po zaključenju prve svetovne vojne. Leta 191H nI Rusija Imela Interesov v Ru-teniji, ker nI imela skupne meje s sovjetsko Ukrajino.
Položaj je danes drugačen. Poljska Ukrajina pride v okvir ruske Ukrajine in Rutenija je strateglčno važna za Rusijo. Maršal Stalin se je odločil, da Ogrska ne sme biti nikdar več nevarna Rualjl, kakor ja bila v prvi svetovni ln aadanjl vojni. Z uključltvijo Rutenije V sovjetsko Ukrajino bo imela Rusija skupno mej<r t Ogrsko.

Odpor proti ustanovitvi . regentstva v Jugoslaviji
NOVE .KOMPLIKACIJE NA VIDIKU
London. 23. jan—Kralj Pater je odstavil člane ubežne vlade premierja Šubašiča v izzivalnem in obupnem poakusu, da prepreči ustanovitev regentatva v Ju« goslavijl na podlagi dogovora, katerega sta sklenila Šubašič ln maršal Tito, poveljnik oavobo-dllne armade ln načelnik odbora za narodno osvoboditev.
SubaŠič je bil obveščen o odločitvi sinoči, ko ae ja sestal • Petrom ln govoril z nJim dvajset minut. Po sestanku je bila objavljena izjava, "da Ja Šubašlč Izgubil zaupanje kralja ln vsled tega ja kooperacija pri reševanju resnih vprašanj med njima Izključena."
Pričakuje se, da bo Peter imenoval novega premierja danea, kar bo gotovo povečalo konfuzi-jo. Kot kandidat Je omenjan Milan Grol, titularnl predsednik srbska demokratske stranke. Grol ima samo dva pristaša v Londonu in eden je poslal telegram maršalu Titu 1 zagotovilom, da bo stal na njegovi strani.
Komunike pravi, da Je Pater pred enim tednom preko Šubašiča naznanil, da ae na bo upiral liročltvl ustavnih in zakonodajnih pravic Titovi vladi pod pogojem, da bodo dlani to vlado imenovani na ustavni na** čin. Tito naj bi sprejel pozicijo od kralja na podlagi ustave lz lata 1935, ki daje kralju diktatorsko oblast. Tito ja odgovoril, da bo še nadalje občeval s Subašl-čem in člani sedanja vlade.
ŠubašlČ je sklical sajo svojega kabineta, na kateri bodo razpravljali o novem razpletu krizo, katero Je povzročil Peter, ; Motnost je, da ftubaftUl ln člani njegove vlade ne bodo odstopili, kiar bo povzročilo nove komplikacije.
Dogovor glede ustanovitve regentstva v Jugoslaviji sta odobrili Velika Britanija ln sovjetska Rusija. Premier Churchill je v svojem jiovoru v parlamentu zadnji teden dejal, "da Velika Britanija ne do dopustila, da bi kralj Peter postal ovira ustanovitvi regentstva. Ča se Peter ne bo uklonil, ga bo potek dogodkov pokopal, ker Je maršal Tito neoporečen! gospodar Jugoslavije."
Sodba poučenih dlplomatlČnlh krogov v, Londonu Je, da se Je Peter oprijel zadnje bilke v obupnem poskusu, da reši svoj prestol, z odstavitvijo ftubašiče-ve vlade V tej igri bo Peter izgubil vse.-

Trieste ali Trst?
(Ta članek je napisal A. J. P. Taylor in je iziel v Londonu v reviji The New Statesman and Nation 9. decembra 1944. Razpravlja o jugoslovanski zadevi, o kateri se bo po svetu kmalu več sllialo.)
Vprašanje Trsta bo ena večjih točk mirovne izravnave; njegova ukoda ne bo odvisna samo od vprašanja narodnosti, temveč tudi od značaja nove preuredbe centralne Evrope. Zgrajen v interesu nemške Mltteleruopa in po letu 1919 spremenjen v orodje italijan-ikega svetega samoljubja, Trst lahko postane sedaj simbol anglo-
sovjetske zaveze — ali pa anglo-sovjetskega nasprotstva. i »i . i
¿če italijanskega iredentitma; in ko so leta 1915 zavezniki bolj brigali, kako pritegniti Italijo na svojo stran in tako oslabiti iiubsburško monarhijo, kot-so pa imeli spoštovanja do narodnih zahtev, so z londonskim paktom oddelili Trst in Pri morje z Istro bo rodu, katerega je Avstrija vred Italiji, sprejela za svojega in ki je po- Tedaj jim ni prišlo na misel,
<i.i se bo habsburška monarhija
Trst je zgradila doba železnice in pare. Do devetnajstega stoletja je bil le nevažno pristanišče s prebivalstvom, ki je govorilo v italijanščini (kot v vseh dt*Jglh dalmatinskih pristaniščih); v njegovo veličino ga je p4*val baron Bruck, Porenjčan rodu, katerega je Avstrija »rejela za svojega in ki je postal velik zagovornik gospodar ske enotnosti (pod nemško di reHtivo) srednje in vzhodne Evrope. Enotnost' carine avstrijskem cesarstvu, ki jo je upeijal Bruck, in enotnost av stHjskih državnih železnic je o-mogoČila Trstu, da je zavzel mesto Donave kot glavni iztok za vso bentralno Evropo.
Trst je bil po svojem značaju "cesarski" in nenaroden, avstrij ski in ne italijanski. Svoje prebivalstvo je nabiral iz sosednjega zaledja, ki je bilo v ogromni večini slovensko. Toda pomorska govorica avstrijskega cesarstva ^(celo avstrijske mornarice) je bila italijanska; vsled tega je tudi v Trstu prevladoval italijanski jezik — radi priročnosti in pripravnosti in ne radi kake narodne lojalnosti. V poznem devetnajstem stoletju je bila večina tržaških "Italijanov" slovenskega pokolenja in tisti, ki •o se opomogli, so avtomatično povzeli trgovsko in kulturno narodnost Trsta.
Ta proces ima svoje meje. Če kako mesto nadalje narašča in Črpa svoje prebivalstvo iz podeželja, tedaj enkrat napoči čas, ko podeželjska Viarodnost ne more biti več vsrkavan«; Hjt/se odločno pokaže in proces se prične obračati v nasprotno smer —. — _ izpreobrnjenci, ki so se odtujili svojemu narodu, se pričnejo "izpreobračati" zopet nazaj.
Ta proce» y "nasprotno smer" se ■ je v devetnajstem stoletju pričel pojavljati po vsej Evropi — v prvi vrsti v škodo Nemcev in Italijanov, toda bolj vzhodno je utrditev narodnostne zavesti bolj nazadnjaških Slovanov (U-krajincev in Belorusov) delala škodo Poljakom. Na ta način je v enem stoletju narastlo prebivalstvo Prage iz 75,000 na 600,-000; Nemci pa so padli iz 66 na 6 odstotkov prebivalstva. Slovenska narodna zavesi se je utrjevala bolj počasno in kasneje 4cot češka, toda tudi ta je pohitevala v zadnji generaciji avstrijskega cesarstva.
i Med 1880 in 1910 je število uradno priznanih Slovencev v Trstu porastlo iz 22 na .13 odstotkov; leta 1915 je avstrijska preizkava pokazala, da je na-daljnih 12 odatotkov tržaških prebivalcev bilo slovenskega ali hrvaškega rodu, toda radi pri-ročnoHti ali bahavo nadutosti so se vpisali za "Italijane". Italijani so aeveda še vedno lastili ši monopol nad trgovakim življenjem Trsta; in Italijani so imeli skoro monopol tudi nad «šolami in čsKopisi — dveh najmočnejših orožij narodnostne borbe. Toda vzlic temu Je njihova večina bila negotova in vzdržana le z ločitvijo Trsta od njegove* ga zaledja.
Ako vzamemo »kupno avstrijsko Primorje, ki je bilo leta 1919 priključeno Italiji, tedaj tvorijo Jugoslovani (Slovenci in Hrvati) dve tretjini vsega prebivalstva; in to jugoslovansko prebivalstvo je večalo svoje prvenstvo skozi naravni |*orastok. kakor tudi skozi naseljevanje ljudi iz čisto Jugoslovanskih pokrajin dalje proti vzh«Kiu. Avstrijska oblast ni mogla vzdržati popolnega ravnotežja niti med iužnimi Slovani in Italijani. Vseeno pa dovoljevala Južnim Slovanom njihov narodni obstoj; in če bi m* položaj ne spremenil, bi dane» imeli Jugi»-slovani v Trstu polno večino.
Fd tradiciji Trat ni bil predmet italijanske pohlepnosti. Mazzini in l<a Mat mora, prvi kot Idealist, drugi kot praktičen človek, sta izjavila, da leži Tr«t čer mejo italijanski- "narodi»«" države T«hI« v pu/n« m devetnajstem stoletju je poet a I sredi-
Í
razsula, ali da pride na površje država, v kateri naj bi bili zdru-¿eni vsi južni Slovani. Jugoslavija je bila rojena prepozno, da bi imela v Parizu nekoga, ki bi zastopal ln zagovarjal njene /ahteve s tako spretnostjo kot e Beneš upravičeval zahteve ehoslovaške. Napihnjene italijanske zahteve .so povzročale na pariški konferenci glavni spor. Bile so znižane, toda mi-lovna izravnava je vseeno priključila med Italijane nad pol milijona Jugoslovanov kot tudi Trst, naravni izhod centralne Evrope.
Ta izravnava je bila velika narodna krivica — še večja krivica, ko so spuhtele v zrak lepe italijanske obljube o pravičnem postopanju z narodom, katere so napravili leta 1919; Jugoslovani so bili podvrženi vladanju narodnega zatiranja, ki mu ga ni bilo para do črnih dni hitler-janstva. Slovenske Šole, sTbven-ski časopisi: vse je zginilo; celo duhovnikom je bilo prepovedano rabiti slovenščino. ¿|
Nemški kmetje v južnih Tiro-lah, katerih trpljenje je zaske-lelo dušo angleških turistov, so se tolažili v zavesti,	veli-
ko sla&še prede ubogim Slovencem v Primorju in T^stu. Italijanska oblast vzlic temu v dvajsetih letih ni mogla ustvariti naravnega poviška italijanske proporcionalnosti v Trstu; in danes posekajo primorski Slovenci v svojem junaštvu In uda-nostt vse druge jugoslovanske tartizane. *
Italijanska aneksija Trsta ni aila samo velika narodna krivica; prinesla je Trstu tudi gospodarski razpad. Pravzaprav najbolj navdušeni zagovorniki te priklopltve so bili trgovci iz Genove in Benetk, ki so na račun uničenja Trsta upali prilastiti se nemške in srednjeevropske trgovine. ,(Na isti način so po priklopitvi tržaški trgovci financirali kampanjo za osvojitev Reke, da bi jo v korist svoje trgovine gospodarsko upropastili.) Trst nima za Italijo nikakega ekonomskega pomena; ne glede
na njegov na&dnostni sestav,' spada po zemljepisu centralni JBvropi. Jjfp/l
posest Trsta je torej podelila Italiji imperialistične smernice napcjufr centralni Evropi. Italijanske smernice so bila že spo-

italijansko -sovraštvo napram Jugoslaviji in tako nasprotovati vsakemu načrtu za kooperacijo v centralni Evropi. Trst Je bil pravzaprav glavni steber "rimskih protokolov" — revizijskega fašističnega bloka Avstrije, Ogrske in Italije; in ta blok se bo moral oživeti, če ostane Trst v italijanskih rokah.
Če bi Trst in Primorje bila vrnjena v jugoslovanske roke,
italijanske — bodo zagovarjale stališče, da mora Italija nekaj več pridobiti, kajti Italiji je navadno v vojski vedno premagana in se vedno opomore le v času miru, sedaj pa je bila bolj premagana kot kdaj prej.
Odločilni faktor pri tržaškem vprašanju je — da* govorimo resno — značaj anglo-sovjetske zveze. Če se dozdeva, da An-

Trst mora biti ali ita-ijanski ali jugoslovanski; tretje izbere ni.
V gotovih krogih se je razpravljalo o predlogu, ki predvideva zopetno avstrijsko oblast nad Trstom. To popolnoma prezira vso stvarnost, kajti pod nemško (avstrijsko) oblast bi bil izpostavljen fantastičen koridor, v katerem bi bili naseljeni izključno le Slovenci, naši udani zavezniki.

Franka Braydo, Joeva Kral-la in mene na pogreb našega brata in nepozabnega prijatelja Franka Tomšiča v 52 milj oddaljeno m'esto Walsenburg. Frank je sel 8. januarja na delo z mislijo, da bo tisti dan vprašal za odpust iz majne in si dobil delo drugje. Precej zjutraj je kruta smrt pretrgala nit njegovega energičnega življenja. Zadela ^a je od strani skala, ga podrla in mu prizadela poškodba in ko so f>a prinesli, na površje, ni bilo več življenja v njem.

Sin Viktor je bil pred kratkim poslan čez morje, Albert pa je še v Zedmjenih državah.
Pokojnik je bil poznan daleč naokoli radi svoje neizčrpljive delavnosti pri organizacijah, h katerim je spadal, In tč so: društvo št. 299 ŠNPJ, društvo ABZ, pri kateri je bil član glavnega porotnega odbora, in društvo spadajoče k ZSZ. Udejstvoval se je tudi pri rtiajnarski uniji. Vse te organizacije so mu pripravile lep civilen pogreb ob dveh popoldne. Znamenito ie bilo, da so njegovi društveni bratje, kakih sto po številu, korakali za svojimi zastavami od hiše žalosti do kake dva milii oddaljenega pokopališča. Za njimi so šli brezštevilni avtomobili, kateri so se zbrali od vseh strani, da so v njih sedeči prijatelj' izkazali zadnjo čast pokojniku.
Pueblo je bilo dobro zastopano. Pueblčani ga bomo pogrešali. Nobene priredbe ni bilo pri nas, da se je ne bi udeležil. Veselili smo se z njim, argumentu ali, skratka—bil je "naš človek".
Na grobu se je od pokojnika poslovil Eddie Tomsic v imenu vseh treh bratskih organizacij, v imenu majnarskih organizacij pa dva govornika v angleškem jeziku in naš Pueblčan Louis Korošec. Frank in Louis sta pred desetimi leti "naredila pogodbo, Nda kateri preživi druge-ka, je dolžan umrlemu nagrobni govor in to je Louis tudi storil.
Med drugimi brezštevilnimi cvetlicami je bil tudi krasan venu:, poslan iz Texasa, kjer jc postojanka sina Alberta. Poslali so ga tovariši-vojaki, da se ga položi na grob njegovega očeta I'o pogrebu smo se precej časa vstavili pri potrti ženi Mary, katera je vedno aktivna pri društvih, kakor tudi pri drugih orga ni/.ucijah.

NAPREDEK SND
Clsvaland. O,—Na letni konferenci SND v četrtek smo slišali jako povoljno poročilo tajnika Johna Taucherja. Dolg na posestvu SND, kateri je znašal še pred osmimi leti okrog 80 tisoč dolarjev, je danes očiščeti in plačan. Kot sneg na vročem soln-cu jc dol»? od leta do leta padal in končno popolnoma skopnel, tako da je danes Dom prost obveznosti razen na delnice, katerih je pa seveda veliko in teh najyeč lastujejo lokalna društva. Samo SNPJ je imela na tej vknjižbi $50,000.

Ii rezultat je bil, da danes lahko točimo pijačo v naši društveni dvorani.

SEJA PODRUŽNICE IN
DRUŠTVENE VESTI IZ JOLIETA
Jollet, IIL—Se enkrat prosim vse tiste člane, ki imate sinove pri vojakih, da mi prinesete naslove, da jim pošljem darila od društva. To je že moje tretje opozorilo in kdor ne bo prinesel naslova, naj se ne jezi nud mano, da nisem poslala darl.
Darila šem poslala 29 članom-vojatom, od desetih pa nimam naslovov. Jaz rada izvršim vse, kar mi naloži članstvo, toda ko-operirati mora tudi članstvo z menoj, kakor pravi pregovor "roka roko umije, obe pa obraz. Nekateri člani so jako občutljivi in jaz moram marsikatero pogoltniti. Ako ima kateri član kaj proti meni, naj pride na sejo in me obtoži pr*d članstvom. Vedno se ravnam po naročilu članstva in čestokrat izvršim tudi delo, k< so ga drugi prevzel», a ga niso izvršili. Nihče ml ne more očitati, da sem zanemarjala svoje delo. Kadar oa dela ne bom mogla izvršiti, pa ga tudi ne bom orevzela. Do sedaj »em še zmerai *krbela za društveno blagajno in članstvo- in gledala, da se ni nikomur godila krivica.

žimo. To je lahko vsukdo opuzil kdor se je udeležil tega in prejšnjih letnih zborovanj. Letna zborovanja sama so že velik korak naprej. Razum in toleranca sta zopet v ospredju pri Domu, kar je res vesel pojav in dobra garancija za bodoče uspehe. Viharji, ki so divjali skozi leta po naselbini in dobili razmah tudi pri Domu, so ponehali. Ponehala so tudi tista viharna letna zborovanja, kjer se ni vedno brzdal človeški nagon ; . . Akustične izboljšave dvorane in pa zbližan je zborovalcev v ožji krog je veliko pripomoglo in prišlo v okom tei nervoznosti in dalo povod treznemu zborovanju.
Dom je po obsegu velika Institucija z različni za početji in tudi z različnimi' problemi. Dvorane, uradniški prostori, trgovine. muzej, gostilna—vse zahteva svoje. Dobiti prazen prostor za parkanje avtov za goste Doma je problem. Tresenje Doma p? velikih tovarniških kladivih je resen problem. Moderniziranje odra, da ne bo velikih presledkov pri predstavah, Je tudi problem. Problem bo tudi, kako v bodoče s prebitkom odplačevati društva in delničarje.
Pred to konferenco so bile samo kratke razprave glede preureditve i)dra ln pa spojitve Slov narodne čitalnice z Domom Sledje se Je opustilo za

Sodeč po ogromnih uspehih, ki so jih Rusi ustvarili v teku 25 let .na polju gospodarstva, znanosti in kulture, a na drugI strani zgradili bujno mašino, ki jI ni para. bl lahko prišli do zaključka, da ie kolektivizem, socializem uli komunizem, ali kar koli že imenujemo sovjetski al-utrni, efektiven v mirnem času in v vojni.

Vrhovno sodišče je podalo ta svoj odlok v zadevi Southern States Fire Insursnce Association, v kateri je včlanjenih okrog 200^ družb, ki se pečajo z zavarovalnino proti požaru. Ampak indirektno se odlok tiče vsega inšurenčnega biznisa, tudi bratskih podpornih organizacij.
Omenjena zveza je bila obtožena po justičnem department» kršenja antitrustnega zakona in na sodišču tudi spoznana kriva, ker je skušala ubiti nekatere inšurenčne kompanije, ki se ji niso hotele pridružiti. Sodišče je odločilo, da je prodajanje kakršne koli zavarovalnine trgovina—bizrfls in vsled tega podvržen tudi zvezni regulsciji, kolikor se to tiče kršenja protitrustnega zakona. Z drugo besedo: te vrste biznis spada v meddržavno trgovino.
Po tem odloku, oziroma že prej, se je dvigni^ ves inšurenčni biznis in poslal v Washington stotine svojih agentov-lobistov z nalogo, da agitjrajo med kongresniki in senatorji za sprejetje no-vegs izjemnegs zakona. Istočasno so pridobili na Jivojo stran tudi Belo hišo. V zadnjem zasedanju kongresa je to nakano preprečil senator Murray iz Utaha kot načelnik posebnega preiskovalnega odseka. Uspel je radi tega, ker je imel na rokah preveč dokazov o raketirstvu tega biznisa.
Ns drugi strsni so stopili v akcijo tudi zavarovalninski komi-ssrji vseh 48 držav, ker so se—zbali za svoje službe' Ves zavarovalninski biznis je danes namreč podvržen izključno državnemu nadzorstvu. V sleherni državi eksistirs velik sparat "političnih koritarjev," Ki so v službi zavarovalninskega departmenta in ob času volilnih kampanj aktivni kot "ward heelerji" ali propagandist! one stranke, ki je v sedlu. Odlok vrhovnega sodišča pa je ogrsžsl ves ta aparat, kajti če bi zavarovalninski biznis prišel pod kontrolo zvezne vlade, bi posamezne države več ne potrebovale zavarovalninskih departmentov. Političnih služb bi bilo dokaj manj.
In tako sO tudi državni zavarovulninski komisarji ustanovili svojo "united" fronto, sporazumno z zastopniki inšurenčnega vele-biznisa izdelali nov zakonski osnutek in ga predložili kongresu. Ts osnutek Je nekak kompromis med odlokom vrhovnega sodišča in stališčem privatnih zavarovalninskih družb. Kongres bi s tem načrtom priznal načelo, da je ta biznis podvržen izključno regulaciji posameznih držav, zveznemu protltrustnemu zakonu pa samo toliko, kolikor bi bila ta ali druga družba obtožena kršenja tega zakona.
Z drugo besedo: volk ostane sit in koza cela. Ker se je s tem načrtom sprijsznlls tudi Murrayjeva skupina senatorjev, bo v kongresu gotovo sprejet.
Po našem mlšjenju bi bilo veliko bolje za ameriško ljudstvo, ako bi prišel ves zavarovalninski biznis izključno pod zvezno kontrolo. Tudi vse podporne organizacije. Na eni strani bi bili zavarovanci bolje protcktlrani, kajti zvezna oblast bi prej očistila inšu-renčni biznis raketlrslva, na drugi strani bi bilo pa olajšano poslovanje..
Za podporne organizacije bi bila zvezna kontrola veliko bolj zaželjiva kot je državna kontrola. Dejstvo je, da ima vsaka država drugačen zavarovalninski zakon In drugačen sistem kontrole. Oseminštlrideset držav, osem i nšt trideset različnih zakonov. Pod zvezno kontrolo bi bil samo en zakon, samo en sistem kontrole za vse organizacije.
Naša jednot^i ima na primer uradno poslovnico v osemnajstih dtžavah in povrhu še v Kanad*. Na vse te države mora pošiljati svoja letna poročila o Klanju organizacije. Ta poročila so drugačna za vsako državd, kajti vsaka država ima svoj sistem. Poročilo, ki odgovarja predpisom državo Illinois, običajno ne odgovarja predpisom zavarovalninskega departmenta v Kansasu, Pennsyl vsniji, New Yorku etc., etc. In tako mora glavni urad izdelati osemnajst, devetnajst različnih poročil. Pod federalno Hontrolo bi zadostovala le dva: na zvezno oblast in Kanado. Povrhu mora ši vstrezatl kapricam posameznih inšurenčnih komisarjev.
Drugo je tudi,, da bi bila «verna kontrola zgolj biznlška. pod državno kontrolo pa je čestokrat politična. Ako so glavni uradniki ptistaši te ali'druge politične stranke, ki je na krmilu drŠave, bo kontrola bolj ohlapna in površna. Ako so politično rfeodvlanl, bo kontrols bolj strogs in kapricasta. In zgodi se. ds bodo ^ržavnl nadzornik» iskali dlako v jajcu . . Te izkušnje ima|o prej ali slej glavni tajniki sleherne podporne organizacije, če ne pod to, pa pod diugo državno administracijo, kajti te se menjajo in tudi pripadniki starih strsnk se vedno ne zna idejo v "pravem" taboru.
Vse to govori v prih»g zvezne regulacije. Ampak do te ne bo prišlo, kajti mogočne inšurenčne družbe so odločno, proti temu. In proti tej regulsciji so vsled tega, ker lažle manipulirajo državne zakonodaje in državne Inšurenčne komiaarje v svoj prid. Kaj bo kakšna revna državica proti tako mogočni finančni inštltuclji kot je na primer Metropolitan Life z \<*č kot šeatlmi milijardami dolarjev premoženja* Yee, v deieli je petnajst držav, ki ne poee-dujejo toliko Skupnega bogastvs kot samo ta steber kapitalizma. Ampak tudi U oktopus bo prišel prej all-slej pod zvezno kontrolo, ker Je preogromen Podporne organizacije ae vsekakor nimajo ničesar beti od te kontrole, kajti pod zvezno oblastjo bi lat je dihale.

O ŠKODI NA FARMI SNPJ IN PRIREDBI
Cleveland. O.—Zadnji teden sem obiskal farmo SNPJ, da ugotovim kolika je škoda na poslopju dvorane, ki jo je povzročil sneg. Ko sem se približal dvorani in videl razdejanje, sem se kar prestrašil.
Škoda je velika. Ako bi danes morali kupiti les za popravilo in najeti delavce, ne bi zadostovalo $2500, da bi zopet spravili dvorano v red. Ako pa se ie ostalo podre, potem pa bodo stroški še veliko večji.
Nesreča nikoli ne počiva. Odbor je /ačunal, da bo popravil samo pod, sedaj pa bomo morali popraviti streho, pod in drugo. Prav pred tremi tedni pred nesrečo je odbor farme, oziroma tajnica plačala zadnji obrok na vknjižbo, ki smo jo imeli pri SNPJ, a sedaj nas je udarila nesreča in bo napravila še večji dolg.
Ako ne bi bili v vojni, nas ne bi to tako težilo, toda v teh razmerah smo težko prizadeti. Odbor bo potreboval pomoči in kooperacije od vseh članov SNPJ v Clevelandu in okolici. Veliko je nas in z razumevanjem in kooperacijo bomo zppet popravili narejeno škodo. Farma SNPJ ima tudi dosti prijateljev, ki niso člani SNPJ, kateri bodo brez dvoma tudi z nami sodelovali.
Ako ima kateri naših cleve-landskih članov kako dobro sugestijo, naj jo sporoči odboru. Seveda, najprvo pa bomo morali dobiti nekaj denarja, kajti brez denarja ne moremo storiti ničesar.
Pred nami imamo koncert in petletnico farme SNPJ, katera bi se morala vršiti v jeseni, ali vsled elevelandske plinske eksplozije je bila preklicana oziroma odložena na 28. januarja, to je na to nedeljo. Na članstvo SNPJ v Clevelandu in okolici apeliram, da se tega koncerta udeležite v velikem štCvilu, kajti čisti dobiček bo šel za popravilo dvorane.
Na programu bodo nastopili našf najboljši pevci in godbeniki, kateri so se vsi radevolje odzvali našemu vabilu. V imenu odbora se jim že vnaprej zahvaljujem za njihovo naklonjenost in kooperacijo.
Torej na gotovo in veselo sedenje v nedeljo ob štirih popoldne v Slovenskem narodnem domu na St. Cluir ave.!
Predno zaključim moj dopis, oprostite moji pisavi, saj veste, da nisem noben pisatelj.
Vsi delavci, ki ste obljubili, da boste pomagali na priredbi, bodite točno na mestu.
Da ne pozabim, po programu bomo imeli prosto zabavo in ples, za katerega bo igral poznani Srnickov orkester.
John Šorc. predsednik,
zahvalila članstvu ,društva Pioneer, rečem pa vam, da sem od vas že dve darili sprejela z veliko hvaležnostjo, še veliko bolj pa sem vam hvaležna, da niste do danes izključili še nobenega člana iz vašega društva, katere sem vam pridobila v času kampanje. Zato gre tajniku vašega društva Donald u Lotrichu vsa čast in priznanje. Apeliram na naše tajnike in tajnice, da ga posnemajo, ja se potrudijo obdržati nove člane v društvu in tedaj boste resnično lahko rčkli, da delate za SNPJ.
Ob tej priliki se tudi najlepše zahvaljujem ugledni družini Be-niger. Sestra Anna Beniger, ki je žena Louisa Benigerja, pomožnega urednika Prosvete, se je namreč zelo zavzela in kupila <i;es lepa darila, katera sem prejela od društva Pioneer. Prav tako še nisem pozabila dneva, ko so Pionirji0sprejeli v društvo brata Louisa Adamiča. Storili ste zame vse preveč, zakar se vam najlepše zahvaljujem!

PIONIRJI POČASTILI MARY UDOVICHEVO
Chicago. III.—Nepričakovano iznenadenje me je zopet zadelo zadnji petek zvečer, ko je imelo društvo Pioneer št. 559 SNPJ svojo redno mesečno sejo. Na sejo sem bila pismeno povabljena od brata Donalda Lotricha. Pisal ml je: "Mi Te hočemo. Pridi gotovo; zadeva se tiče Tebe, zato je potrebno, da prideš!" "Kaj neki se je zgodilo?" sem
vprašala mojega Franceta. "Ves
dan delam v tovarni, zvečer pa pa bi bila bolj pomirjevalna pri
VAŽNE VESTI
Bridgeport O.—Tukajšnji postojanki SANSa in JPO-SS sta nameravali prirediti veliko priredbo v soboto HO. februarja, a ker nismo mogli dobiti orkestra za dotični dan, smo morali spremeniti datum priredbe na 14. aprila. Vpoštevajte to spremembo vsi in delujte, da bo prireditev dobro izftedla.
Oni, ki prispevajo za SANS in relifno akcijo, te pritožujejo, Češ, zakaj niso priobčena njih imena v Prosveti. Toda za kolek-torjo in še bolj za tajnika-bla-gajnika postojank je težko priobčiti vsa imepa v časopisu. Popolnoma je na mestu, da so pri Prosveti sklenili, da bodo pri občali Imena samo onih darovalcev oz. prispevateljev, ki prispevajo $5 ali pa več.
Prosveta gre na roke našim akcijam v vseh azirih in dela dobro delo, ko priobčujc imena darovalcev, toda ne smemo pozabiti, da je list last SNPJ in da mora pisati b uradnih stva reh in priobčati tudi drugo gradivo, da ustreze naročnikom. Mi ne moremo zahtevati od ene organizacije, da bi dala ves list na razpolago, a svoje lastne koristi pa zanemarjala, koristi član stva in organizacije. Sicer pa moramo imeti zaupanje v kolek-torje in uradnike organizacije, za katero darujemo denar. Ako smo imeli zaupanje v nje tedaj, ko smo jih i/.volill, potem jim moramo tudi zaupati, da bodo svoje delo vestno in pošteno vr šili.
Vse kaže, da bomo morali zopet diskuziroti glede odložitve prihodnje konvencije. Oni, kateri smo bili za odložitev, smo bili precej nahruljeni. Tudi sam sem bil prizadet, toda radi sebe ne zamerim uredniku. Vendar
Družinski koledar letos tako od rok kot še ne pomnim. Ljudje so zelo zadovoljni z njim. Seveda, z vsakim letom je manj Či-tateljev, ker so se preselili v večna lovišča, toda te nadomestimo z drugimi, ki so poprej čitali druge koledarje. Ampak staramo se, prehitro se staramo.
Vreme imamo tu že od 12. decembra naprej zelo slabo—d^ž, sneg, mraz pod žiro in pa strah pred povodnjo, nato zopet mraz. Povodenj nas lahko še vedno zadene, kakor nas je meseca marca.
Sedaj pa še nekaj besed članstvu društva št. 13 SNPJ. V mesečnem poročilu za mesec februar bo naše društvo štelo 192 članov in članic v odraslem oddelku, kar bo menda največje število v zgodovini društva, in 101 članov v mladinskem oddelku/ Take bodo številke meseca februarja, če bomo dotlej še živi. Bratje in sestre. .Ali ne bi poizkusili še malo kooperirati s tajnikom, da bi dosegli 200 članov in članic v odraslem oddelku? Ali bi se dalo doseči? Seveda bi se! Kje? Kako? Kje jih bom jaz dobil ali dobila? Tam, kjer so! In še vedno se dobi člane! Toda treba se je malo potruditi!
Torej, bratje in sestre, dajmo skupno napeti svoje svoje moči kaj kmalu in pridobimo teh par članov, da bo štelo naše društvo 200 članov! Čast bi bilo za št. 13 SNPJ, če bi dosegli to število. In ne samo to—naše društvo bi bilo eno največjih postojank SNPJ daleč naokoli. Zavihaj mo rokave in bo šlo!

VABILO NA VESELICO
La Salle, 111.—V skupnosti je napredek in uspeh. Danes je Narodni dom v La Sallu brez dolga in ima tudi lep prebitek. V soboto, 27. januarja, bomo imeli plesno veselico in ob tej priliki bomo navzoči člani oseb-ho prejeli pol dolarja dividend na vsako delnico.
Za ples bo igrala izvrstna godba. Igral bo Rihel iz Jolieta. Slišal sem, da je izvrsten godbenik. Manjkalo tudi ne bo okrepčila. Torej na svidenje rojaki od blizu in daleč. Pozdrav naročnikom Prosvete.

NAŠE AKTIVNOSTI
Clerveland, O,—Članstvu SNPJ v Clevelandu in okolici je znano, da se je imela vršiti 5-letnica farme SNPJ meseca oktobra, toda vsled strahovite eksplozije, ki je tedaj zadela cle-velandsko slovensko naselbino, je bila priredba prestavljena na 28. tega meseca.
Apeliram na članstvo SNPJ v Clevelandu in okolici, da se te pomembne petletnice gotovo udeleži. Program bo zelo le$. Pričetek ob pol štirih popoldne. Prireditev se bo vršila v avditoriju Slovenskega narodnega doma na St. Clair ave.
Potrebno je, da se korporativ no udeležimo te priredbe, kajti to naše narodno kolektivno podjetje potrebuje vso našo oporo, zlasti sedaj, ko je napravil sneženi vihar veliko škode na izletniških prostorih. Ker je bilo veliko snega, se je od teže podrla skoro vsa streha dvorane in pri tem se je pokvarilo razno pohištvo, peč, glasoviri itd. Predsednik farme SNPJ John Sorc je poročal na zadnji seji društva št. 53 SNPJ, da je škoda zelo velika. streha popolnoma podrta itd.
Odbor farme ima sedaj veliko skrbi, kajti vse to bo potreba popraviti. Popravilo pa bo stalo precej denarja. Najbolje bi bilo, da bi zgradili popolnoma novo dvorano. In da to lahko realiziramo, moramo kooperirati z odborom. Kooperacijo pa lahko izkažemo to nedeljo, namreč da se polnoštevilno udeležimo petletnici SNPJ. Naj ne manjka nobenega dobrega člana SNPJ "pri tej priredbi! Na svidenje!
Izvoljeni so vedno eno in isti odborniki, zato ni nič čudnega, če ta ali oni omaga in se potem izneveri vsakemu delu, ker so mu naprtili preveč na rame. Mi hi si morali enako razdeliti delo, ki je potrebno da ga vršimo na našem društvenem in kulturnem polju in za splošen napredek.
. Zastopniki podružnice JPO-SS in podružnice SANSa v tej naselbini so odglasovali, da se podružnici združita v eno celoto, kajti pri obeh faktično delamo za eno in isto stvar. Na ta način bomo tudi manj cepili naše delovne društvene moči. Upam, da bodo zastopniki na skupni seji, katera se bo vršila ta teden, odglasovali v tem smislu. S tem bo prihranjenega veliko dela, tudi knjigovodstvo bo samo eno in prav tako poročila o prispevkih.
Prosveta se je že pričela upirati s priobčevanjem prispevkov, kateri so manjši kot $5. Nekateri čitatelji oziroma naročniki Prosvete kritizirajo, da danes ni drugega materiala v Prosveti kot o SANSu in JPO-SS. Če bi se ti krjtiki raje pridružili narodno čutečim delavcem, bi se potem menda ne drznili kritizirati, kar jim ne dela posebne časti. Živimo pač v taki dobi. Živimo v zgodovinskem momentu našega naroda. Danes je potrebno, da vse naše časopisje tu v Ameriki in prav tako v stari domovini, piše in bodri križani slovenski narod.
Vprašal bi, čigavo pa je pravzaprav to časopisje? Ali ni last naroda? Last naročnikov? In ti naročniki v večini čutijo s svojimi trpečiirti brati onkraj morja. V prvi svetovni vojni je imela organizacija JRZ svoj lasten list, ki je nosil ime "Slovenski svet". Pri agitaciji so pomagali tudi drugi časopisi, poleg tega pa je bila izdana posebna brošura, v kateri so bila tiskana imena prispevateljev.
Uredništvo Prosvete bi se moralo tega zavedati, preden je bil napisan dotični članek. Ljudstvo, ki je prispevalo denar, želi objave imen. Tajniki podružnic pa objavljajo imena prispevateljev tudi v svrho reklame in točnega poslovanja. Tisti, ki prispevajo, so upravičeni, da se objavijo njih imena v časopisju Res, nekaterim ni nič do tega, na drugi strani pa je veliko takih, ki darujejo denar zato, da vidijo svoja imena tiskana v časopisju. Meni se vidi, da je bolje, da naše časopisje služi v tej kritični uri slovenskemu narodu, kot pa da bi objavljalo raz ne suhoparne polemike, ki se rade pojavljajo in ki jim ni potem ne konca in ne kraja.
Pisec rad prebira imena prispevateljev in prav tako mnogi drugi, vsekakor rajši kot pa kakšno osebno hvalo ali pa polemiko. Kadar je časopis last ljudstva, je potrebno, da temu tudi služi. Saj ne bomo vedno v vojni, tudi te bo enkrat konec in potem bodo nastopile zopet normalne razmere in zadoščeno bo tudi tistim, ki danes trdijo, da vse preveč pišemo za SANS in JPO-SS. Saj imamo potrpljenje. Kadar tajniki pošljemo poročila o prispevkih, smo kratki, kolikor pač moremo. Prispevke priobčujejo tudi drugi časopisi in ne samo Prosveta.

SLA VINA PLESNA ZABAVA
Chicago.—Radi vojnih razmer tudi v Chicagu nimamo več toliko zabav in raznih priredb kot smo jih imeli včasih. Vendar pa je dobro in potrebno, da se včasih skupaj zberemo in razvedrimo; je dobro za nas same, da vsaj za nekaj ur odženemo vojno moro, ki nas tlači, in je dobro za naše društveno življenje.
Iz teh razlogov prireja društvo Slavija 1 SNPJ plesno zabavo v soboto zvečer, 10. febr. v jedno-tini dvorani na 2657 S. Lawndale ave. Vstopnina» je samo 30c z davkom vred. Rezervirajte si torej ta datum in pridite na to zabavo Slavije. Posebno naj to stori članstvo svojega društva, ampak vabljeni ste vsi Čikažani in okoličani.	Član.

Te organizacije so: društvo št. 27 SDD (SDZ?) dne 21. t. m., društvo št. 23 SDZ dne 12. februarja in gospodinjski odsek SDD, kateri pa bo najel dvorano, kadar bo na razpolago.

Predsednikova kolona
Bodimo pripravljeni Organizacija National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis nas v svojem poročilu, v katerem se priporoča za naše sodelovanje v kampanji za prispevke, opozarja, da se otroška paraliza zadnje čase spet nevarno širi. Zdravniki še ne vedo sigurno, vendar pa se domneva, da je najbrž tudi to posledica vojne, oziroma je vojna nekaj doprinesla. Vsekako pa veliko število novih primerov pomeni, da bo v letu 1945 treba veliko več denarja za uspešno pobijanje te bolezni.
Kot znano, je otroška paraliza zelo nevarna ^olezen. Nekaj časa se je že mislilo, da bo kmalu popolnoma zatrta. Znanost stalno napreduje in bo končno tudi iznašla zanesljivo zdravilo tudi za to in upajmo, da jo bo v doglednem času tudi popolnoma zatrla, kakor je že razne druge nevarne bolezni. V to svrho se zbira potrebni sklad, ki prihaja največ od kolekte po dajmih. Sprejmejo se pa seveda tudi večje vsote in apel je na organizacije in poedin-ce. SNPJ dobrohotno podpira to ustanovo, s primernimi letnimi prispevki. Potrebno pa je, da tudi posamezni člani po svoji moči pomagamo. Kajti nikdo ni izvzet pred nevarnostjo, da se ne bo kje nalezel bacilov otroške paralize in da ne bo kdo njegovih na-daljna žrtev te strašne bolezni. In kakor za vsako bolezen, velja tudi tukaj pravijp, da je velikp boli pametno bolezen preprečiti kot pa zdraviti in navadno je tudi lažje. Iz tega pa tudi sledi, dn ko s svojimi prispevki pomagamo pobijati otroško paralizo, pomagamo zeano sami sebi in svoji organizaciji.—

Zdravniki opozarjajo Pole8 opozorila na povečano ne-
•	varnost otroške paralize, nas zdravniki opozarjajo na dejstvo, da se je zadnje čase pojavilo nekaj popolnoma novih bolezni, ki so jim bile do sedaj nepoznane, ter da nam je vojna, poleg števila drugih, prinesla tudi to zlo. Zdravniki seveda proučujejo tudi te bolezni in upajmo, da bodo sčasom iznašli uspešna zdravila zanje. Vsekakor pa te nove bolezni tvorijo nadaljne nevarnosti in je dobro, da si to zapomnimo. To nam je v svarilo, da se toliko bolj tesno oklenemo svoje dobre organizacije, ki nam pomaga v bolezni in na katero se lahko zariti-.semo v vsaki nesreči, in nikar ne dopustimo, da bi bili kdaj suspendirani radi zanemarjenosti s prispevki ali česar drugega. £aeno pa opozorimo na to novo nevarnost svoje znance, ki še niso v društvu in jih pripeljemo v svojo organizacijo. S tem bomo koristili
njim in sebi in izvršili splošno dobro delo.

Razveseljiva vest Ravno ko pripravljamo to številko Pro-
svete za v tisk, smo doznali, da je prišlo med vlado jugoslovanske narodne osvobodilne fronte in načelstvom UNRA do ugodnega sporazuma. Kot znano, je UNRA ustanova vlade Zedinjenih držav za pomoč po vojni prizadetim ljudstvom, torej tudi našemu narodu v starem kraju. Našemu bi logično morali pomagati še veliko bolj, saj je slovensko ljudstvo, z izjemo poljskega, v tej vojni najbolj težko prizadeto ter so Jugoslovani i- svojim herojskim odporom in neštetimi žrtvami največ pomagali zaveznikom. Zaslužili to torej, da bi dobili kar največ pomoči <"1 zaveznikov v orožju in življenskih potrebščinah. Ljudstvo je sesti adaho do skrajnosti in hodi napol nago. "Revščina je neznosna in zunanja pomoč nujno potrebna," poročajo ljudje, ki so razmere preiskovali na licu mesta. Torej ni izmišljotina, kakor hi nam nekateri naši tukajšnji laživoditelji radi natVezili. In tudi ni nobeno pretiravanje. ♦ Pomanjkanje je v resnici toliko in trpljenje tako strašno, da se v poročilih, ki so iz potrebe izčrpna in v kratkih vrstah kot jih naši listi priobčujejo, ne da zadostnoj/pisati.
Da<—naši so pomoč krvavo zaslužili in vsaj v hrani in obleki bi J«m lahko prišla iz Amerike že davno! Toda ni—preprečile so jo (rne, nazadnjaške sile, tiste sile, ki so prodajale interese ondotne-ra ljudstva in vpropastile Jugoslavijo, pa bi se s pomočjo angleških torijev in ameriških reakcionarjev rade nazaj vsedlale na vladne pozicije in komodne stolčke ter zopet po starem gulile in izkot išcale jugoslovansko ljudstvo. Črne, nazadnjaške sile so ves čas na delu in poskušajo preprečiti pomoč narod* zato, ker se bori ne samo za osvoboditev izpod jarma tujih nasilnikov, temveč tudi za odpravo domačih pijavk in izkoriščevalcev. Bivša narodna go--poda; ki je tolika leta gulila ondotno ljudstvo, Je toliko narodna, da raje vidi, da U narod do smrti strada in prezeba kot bi mu pri-voščil« Domoč. Taka je njih krščanska ljubezen! Na žalost je do sedaj v veliki meri uspela. Zato amerška pomoč še ni prišla do r'J'h in zato mora čakati v New Yorku še veliko tega. kar smo «meriški Jugoslovani zbrali za stari kraj, medtem ko dobri in po-tteni ljudje Um od zime in lakote umirajo.
Veseli nas torej, da je končno prišlo med načelstvom UNRA in vlado jugoslovanske narodne antifašistične osvobodilne fronte do povoji nega sporazuma in da bo ameriška pomoč kmalu dostavlje-r'• 1'pajmo. da je vest resnična in da je rešitev,našega ljudstva

For Members of Slovens National Benefit Society and American Slovenes
Make Medicine Serve the People
Progressiva groups agree that all bas'C industries should be nationalized, or socialized, on cooperative principles and with government participation. In such an economy, controlled democratically by the people, industries would operate for the bene!it of all rather, than for the benefit of a few. We believe that this will eventually happen because it must happen; likewise, we also believe that medicine should be social? ized if the profession is to serve the people as it should.
The problem of medical eare concerns millions of workers and their families, therefore, a comprehensive medical pro-giam that would put medical care on a national basis is one of the grestest needs, now.
Recently, steps in the right direction have been taken by the Senate Subcommittee on Wartime Health and Education in a report calling for a "national system of health centers." These centers, to be set up in each community throughout the country,, would combine preventive, diagnostic and curative care, and would operate as part of an integrated system of local, district and metropolitan base hospitals.
The report includes a plan covering four basic types of medical centers: the smsll neighborhood center; the rural hospital; the district hospital; and the large base hospital. The units in the national system would constantly exchange information, training, consultation service and personnel, and there would be regrouping of patients among the various units. To establish such a system, federal grants and a large
postwar hospital building program would be necessary.
* * *
We all know that the present method of payment for medical care is not suited to the needs of most people, and that private medical system cannot give the widest possible distribution of high-quality med'eal care. Because medical care is on a pay-as-you-go basis, jtiany people are compelled to wait until illnesses are so severe that medical costs are extremely high.
In advocating its plan, the committee made these special recommendations:
1.	That increased enrollment of women in medical and dental schools and courses be encouraged in every way possible«
2.	That mental hygiene clinics be established to serve all groups with specisl child guidance clinics for children, and that the social security system be extended.
3 That school health programs be improved to insure cor-icctinn of defects found in childhood.
4.	That local health departments should be moved "from the musty basements of country court houses and city halls to modern, well-equipped buildings where the health .officer and his staff could efficiently carry on their very important. activities."
5.	That grants-in-aid and self liquidating public health const! uction projects be set up by the Federal Government to supply water systejns, sewer systems, sanitation'facilities, and milk pasteurization plants where needed,
6.	That the Federal Ciovernment provide resources for medical research for coordinated attack on problems which affect
the country as a whole.	i
★ * *
The committee also urges that a comprehensive program for expanding medical facilities and improving medial care be planned now—at oncc^-and undertaken jih soon as materials and manpower are available.
It is worth noting that the committee emphasized that this program is a postwar must, which would pay big dividends In better health and physical fitness.
I<ast week, I3r. Thomas Parran, surgeon general of the U.S. Public Health Service, speaking at dedication ceremonies at the United Automobile Workers CCtO) Health Institute in De-Uoit, went on record favoring a tax-supported national health piogiam which would finance costs of me ¿Meal care for every individual.
"Tax funds should he available to build hospital* and health centeis after the war," Dr. Parran said, "ttid taxes should be used to train and expand medical person lei. He also sug-Kehted an expanded construction of aanitury facilities as a health measure.
All of this »hows that a strong itygdical care movement is afoot. In order to make medicine mirve thie people, Congress should adont a federal act to gealize its possibilities.

VERONA, PA.—On January 28, the old town crier will be singing another tune. Why? My goodness, you mcun you haven't heard? On that day wc have dccidcd to give our "friends a chance to see how good they are at dancing, getting away with It and giving a helping hand td those in need,
January the 28th is celebrated in fnany parts of the United States because of the foresight of our great President. Only a man learned in so many fields of study could see the necessity of someone doing something about Infantilp Paralysis. He shared with the nation a day rightly his own and made it possible for men, women and children tq wulk again! The President's Bull came into effect and from all over the nation (fame The March of Dimes! Not only those who could well tifford it. but from Main Street, the farm and from below the tracks. People from different walks of life yet all of one heart. Come and spend an enjoyable evening with us and yet know you arc helping to give someone a chance to walk again. Help uh to wipe out a disease that strikes feur into the hearts of our fellowmen. To those of you who cannot be with us we ask you U) remember the words:
Have faith. Hope fbr the best. Give to charity. The greatest of these is charity.
For those dancing feet of yours we have Jackie Persin and his band. Since his last visit to our club, Jackie has acquired a few new men and ss the Zoot Suiters would say "Solid, honev. thfc band is groovoy, you bet; so shake the body or the rheumatism you'll get."
So you wunted something different, eh? Then here it is. Yes, the mu :h wanted "fruit dance" Is here at last! You all know how the fruit dance is conducted, but how many of you can get away with it?

Meeting Minutes
CIRARD. OHIO.—We had a well attended and Interesting meeting this month. Of course, thvre were ecveral unattended, lonesome chairs yuwning in our individual face?, but perhaps these people will be along next meeting. The lodge, thrpugh Secretary Mary Macek, received numerous letters from our soldier-members. Most of these expressed unlimited gratitude and appreciation for the Christmas gifts cent them. The expenditures were covered by a lodge outlay and voluntary individual gifts. The latter amounted to approximately thirty dollars. All in ail, it was a splendid indication of fraternalism at its best.
A letter was received from the Circle Manager stating ' that—for this year—only those Circle members whose two-cent assessment is fully paid will be eligible for the annual Christmas party. Although this announcement may seem a bit premature, we do not want to be the target for uncontrolled tempers later on. The extra Circle assessment cannot be paid to either of the adult lodges but must be directed to Circle Treasurer Mary Margaret Mate-kovich. To aid in the promotion of better Circle relations, the assessment should be brought in person to the meeting. Lodge 40 waived its right to elect a Circle representative and announced that the Eagles were authorized Uf elect two with the result that Mary Golob Rezek will be the Assistant Manager for 1045.
Books from the Educational Bureau were received and distributed. One was entitled, "Canadian Progressives on the March," by M. J. Coldwell. These were received with enthusiasm and we know that they will l^e read and digested. The Sec-retary reported that there were no cancclled r.or suspended members which is as it should be.
Bowling was discussed and it was no trouble at all to get eight members to promise to bowl. These included Mamie Zitnik, Frances Mate-kovich, Frances Rezek, Ann Gantar, Mary Leskovec, Henry Leskovec, Gilbert Robsel, Margaret Umeck and this reporter. There was much enjoyment and arrangements have been made for continued get-togethers. Mury Ma :ek had her dues paid for the month by the lodge. Any of the following codld have been us fortunate had they been present— Ann S. Merrick, Carolyn Prevec, Charles Jacobs or Ann Gantar. So, how about next month? The date is February 11th. Much time now to clear the way,for your attendance. •	*	1 A Pa«e Back
Meeting on May 13. 1038—Invitation was received from the Airbridge Revellers—Kosele was a Pennsy boy then—for a dance. August 7 wus chosen as the date for our picnic and a motion was made by Marko Mutekovich und seconded by Herman Lukz (we don't see much olhpither nowadays because of their work) that we organize a baseball team. Frank Zitnik and Ed Prevec were selected to get the team together. In that year and month we had 81 adults and 17 juveniles.
Off the Record.—Here are some of the bovs and girls who sent the lodge their thunks for the Christ-moB gifUn-Bill Ponigur, Bill Godec, Anthony Burkovich, Bill Umeck, Carl Swabeck, Justine Bahri' and Stan Hribar. Later we will offer their addresses. Johnnie Gantar waa prooosed as a new member. Agne's. Zurcher and baby Susan June (a new nu mber, we hope) are doing Just fine. Susan is reported —by no less an expert than my mother—as being the prettiest vet born.	FRANK REZEK. 643. |

the SNPJ hall. We initiated three ! new members for the juvenile department, one for the adult and accepted three others by transfer. Be cause Anne Groser Kumer will be leaving Chicago ,we elected John Rak Jr. president of the lodge. Sister Mary Udovich was invited to attend this meeting and was presented with a beautiful handbag as a token of appreciation for the many new members she gathered for the Pioneers. Reports were made on the Pioneer handicap bowling tournament, the yule party for juveniles, the response from the servicemen for the packages sent, and a number of other important', matters. Luckies cigarettes were on hand, so were the refreshments. John Simon was clec^d vice-president and all of the officers for 1045 were installed. We had a reasonably good attendance.
Speaking about membership campaigns and campaigners, a whole lot can be said. The 1044 campaign was successful because people like Mary Udovich devoted a lot of their good time and energy in order to secure and sign up new applicants. Throughout the year she was the spark which gave power to the jubi-Ite campaign. The important thing is to take advantage of the opportunity the campaign affords, sign up a lot of new members, and then be certain to hold them. The records will testify that the Pioneers have done a marvelous job not only in getting new members but in holding on to them as welL We hope others will be able to do the same.
Entries for the Pioneer handicap bowling tournament * slated for March 4 at Arbanas' South-West Alleys ere being mailed out this week. Our neighboring lodges are urged to get as large a representation as possible to the tournament. It will be a doubles tournament this year; doubles, in order to give a larger number of our members a chance to compete. It will also be a handicap tournament and give everyone an opportunity to share in the prize money. The entry fee is only $3 per team or u $1.50 per individual. We can make this a pleasant and enjoyable day with plenty of rivalry,- After the tournament wc will have a social at the SNPJ hall. Reserve the date and be sure you Come in with us. , v	_ 1

)ur Front
By Louis Beniger
Thi> Russians are on the march in
L. real sense of the word. Their Jihtary succesecs on the Eastern e the greatest in all history. After they captured Warsaw, ht y marched right on and are now »ulverising the Nazi war machine n the entire front. It is likely that Lfoae these lines see print they II reach Danzig on the Baltic. In short, the great Russian offen-the most important war news irinted »n many months. It is evi-Unt now that the Russians had to iait until they had made the nec-s'-aiy preparations for the present iffi nsive. This puts at rest all those weldings* emanating from various (ourcei that the Russians are angina for certain advantages in Po-ind. When they were ready they truck, and what a blow this is for jio ' invincible" Nazis!
Thus, the over-all view of the lattlc on the Eastern Front becomes mphatically clear.
7*
The present Russian offensive and ; unprecedented swift successes L of tremendgus importance to all
Mlics.
The successes of the Russian blows gainst Germany are also of parti-ular importance to the United States. It means that thousands of )ur boys will be saved, that the war nill be over much sooner and un-old suffering brought to an end.
This also means that the Nazis (vill soon have to pull out of the ialkans. It is liktly that the re-laining Nazi divizions will try to scape from Jugoslavia the best way hey can. In that event fighting in Slovenia would be eliminated and >ui homeland, which has already ad share of battles in this war, will be spared further devastation nd death.
Speaking of Jugoslavia, as I am »rone to do quite frequently in this olumn. it is interesting to know hat sort of a new state is envisaged >v the Liberation Front.
Reports have it that Marshal Tito .s planning a federated Jugosluv late along democratic lines. Future lugoslavia would include all Slovene territory that was taken by Italy after the last war. It would nclude also Bulgaria and Macedo-lia, both Slavic countries. In short, luKoslavia would then have within ts borders all the South Slavs liv-ng in' the Balkans.
Thus, the dream of many old Ju-[oslav leaders would be realized. Moreover, such a federation of outh Slavic states would form a ucleus for a European Federation, diich would be a positive factor n preventing future wars. Let us hope that out of the pres-nt conflict something good will volve, and the millions of lives will ml have been sacrificed in vain.

CHICAGO—We cant complain about the attendance at last Friday's Pioneer meeting at all, as it was an improvement. Frank J. Lot-rich is our nominee for the National Athletic Board. March 4 is the date set for the Pioneers' Doubles Match bowling tournament with a social following. Pilsen Park will again be the scene of the Pioneer Annual picnic on August 4. This is Pioneers' Twentieth Anniversary year and we expect to celebrate fittingly. These throe important occasions will demand a lot of help from our members and some of the committees have already been set ¿ip.
Anne Kumer has resigned her office as president of Pioneers, because she's leaving us sometime next month to make her home with her husband in Universal, Pa. Her vacancy was filled by the election of John Rak Jr. and for vice-president we'll have John Simon. Anne Kumer then installed all the newly-elected Officers. Mury Udovich, our able membership campaigner, was present, and a gift was presented to her as a token of our appreciation for all her efforts. Al Goste was the servicemen's award winner, while John Zordani was the adult winner and Marlene Pokorney was the lucky juvenile. After the meeting cigarettes were distributed and refreshments were served by Ida Simon.	•»
Waukegan Bound.—The Perfect Circle group left for Waukegan last Sunday morning to attend and participate on a program honoring the 40th anniversary of the SNPJ. The affair was sponsored by the Sloga, Moška Enakopravnost, Little Fort Lodges and the Jolly Juveniles of Circle 24.4 There were twenty-four of us tharmade the trip by North Shore and nine by cars. We arrived at the Waukegan Slovene Hall, the group had its rehearsal, and we met and talked to Christine Stritar. After lunch we all looked over the Hall and I personally was amazed as to its largeness and beautiful place. The auditorium is quite large with balcony and we all thought how lucky Waukcganites were for having such a large stage. Neutral velvet curtains adorned the huge stage.
The time flew by fast and the Perfect Circle group had to assemble to get into their costumes for their part of the program. Edward Udovich made up all the boys and the three younger ones also. He did an excellent job. It wasn't long that the Jolly Juvenile» and Perfect Circle were mingling with one another, getting along "tip-top." ,
The program was presented in four parts. The first part was a tableau observing the 40th anniversary of SNPJ written by M. Vr. hovnik and presented by Jolly Juveniles who were lined up in a V— for victory with the SNPJ emblem in back center and girls holding banners telling the number of years that SNPJ has a juvenile dept (32 years) and the Juvenile Circle (7 years). The pledge to the flag was followed by the group singing of Star Spangled Banner. A tribute to the Pioneers was given by Juliette Gabrosek and Margie Kenik and Marilyn Pierce gave the history of SNPJ. These three girls spoke with much distinction. The tableau was concluded with the singing of "Hej Slovani." It was a real nice tribute.
"Down on the Farm" was the second part of program. "SNPJ Barn Dance Broadcast" presented by Perfect Circle of Chicago and directed by Ann Sannemann and assisted by Ruth Medic. Edward Udo-vicn was M. C. Virginia Reel by Circle City Slicker» was their opening number followed by "Saturday Night, Anywhere," a pantomime by Stanley Mozina; Sweet and Low Melodies, by Circle Harmonizer», nang "Home- on the Range," "On Moonlight Bay" and "Dance, Dance, Who Wants to Dance." From back of the audience, up to the front of the Btdge trots a little lady who wants to be on the program. She'« "Clementine," impersonated by Rob Ann Sannemann. Farmer Brown goes to town, that'» Frankie Ster-nisha, the lad with dancing feet. Marion Cervenka and John Rokavec had a dialogue "It Happen» In the Bt-st of Famille»." and then Myra Beniger displayed her talefRs In Piano Poetry.
Apple Cider Fun ' made Joanne Kak and Rob Ann Sannemann verv stiff. Hayloft Rubes aang and played "Put Your Arm« Around Mr, Honey/' "Tumbling Tumble Weeds" and "Don't Fence Me In.' Kri ward Udovich played the guitar; John Rokavec, trumpet with hand and mouth only, Stanley Mozina. the mouth organ, William Kovacic, the has» i home-made With a can and rope) and Richard Zasadil the waah-iKtard. The old-time quadrille dirt uixed their part of the program. We might add that the colorful cos-tumes added much to the program, capecially an with the neutral back-ground of »tage setting, and the entire urogram was well received
The third part of the program waa •hart and to the point. Introductory add rem waa made by John M/»hmrh who Introduced the Juve-nile Director of SNPJ. Bro Miebieel Vrhovnih ar the principal apeak.*. Home how, It adda to a well rendered program not to have lengthy ape« tees. Bro. Vr hovnik told uc briefly
what he had to say and his speech was well received.
Part ¿our, the concluding humber, was entitled "Spomini iz Slovenije * (Memor ies from Slovenia), presented by Jolly Juveniles, directed by Christine SUitar and assisted by Dorothy Gabrosek and Mrs. A. Kon-cilja. This part of program was entirely Slovene, which appealed to many of us. Slovene folk songs are beautiful and especially so when children sing them. We can't remember names too well but some did stick with us, especially as wo glance over program again. Group singing was very nice with several solo numbers. We were quite thrilled with "Moj odka ima konj'ika dva"' sung by little David Stritar. We were told his little costume was sent him from Ljubljana. Group dancing was very good and naturally, the youngest couple made the biggest hit. Group singing of "Perice," "Slqvensko deklica," "Jaz 'mam pa nekaj novega." "Dekle na vrtu," "Dolgo nismo pili ga," "Sladko je vince," "Nc bom se moiila," "AP me boS kaj rada imela," "I jop, jop, jop," "Eden po cesti gre" and "Bratci ve seli vsi"—was all very good. Juli ette Gabrovsek was the baton twirler; an accordion solo was of fered by Albert Koncilja; Marilyn Pierce played a pian/> solo and Dolores O'Black played/ her accordion All the children wire in Sloveiu costumes and the siting was all very colorful. Thus U)e program was concluded, and I believe to everyone's satisfaction for it did have variety and was well planned.
The children that were participants on the program, which I be lieve numbered over fifty, had sup per together. It was a good cooked meal and the ladies who prepared and served it deserve thanks.
After supper we had the pleasure of making more new arid old acquaintances. The Stritar», the Fur-lans, Frances Zakovsek, Simcic sis ters, Mary Andres' mother, Mrs. Do-brovolec, and her daughter Angela —and many others.
Dancing followed in the hall downstairs and Perfect Circle started the broom dance which was so exciting that it wa» repeated. Ye» they also got a big long line and danced the Virginia Reel, too, and Slovene folk dances and old-fash ioned one». ♦
The time was getting nearer and we'd soon have to start getting ready to return to Chicago. We left on the 9 o'clock train and wfcre escorted by »everal of Jolly Juve niles to the carline. It was lots of fun being with Waukeganite», but the fun wasn't over yet. Wo remarked to the streetcar conductor that he's probably glad to get rid of us. To the contrary it was fun having us, he said, and gave us an extra "toot-toot" on the trolley.
We had to stand all the way on the train to Waukegan, but returning, we all got seats one way or another. The boys got their instruments out and started playing and singing Slovene and English songs. Several servicemen, helped in the ainging, and naturally at first the people were all eyes and laughter prevailed. Before we knew it we were back in Chicago and off to our different homes, tired, weary, yes, but happy for we had a real good time on the Perfect Circle's first invitation out-of-town.
Included with the Circle from Chicago/ were also the following adults: The Andreses, daughter» Myra and Ellen; Anne Beniger, Mrs. Cervenka, Wilma Gratchner, the Raks, the Sannemann», Adelle Selek and son Freddie, the Sternishas, Tony Trojar and Mike Vrhovnlk.
Bervlcerfien.—-Cpl. Henry P. a k write» another letter from England; he included a copy of Stars & Stripes. Lt. Kozlecar (Millie Simcic Ko/.lecar's husband—Waukegan) was wounded in action Dec, 14 in France. We were glad to hear he'» getting along nicely in an army hospital out there. S/Sgt.

CHICAGO —As treasurer of Perfect Circle No. 26 of SNPJ for 1945, one of my first dutiea was to convert the war atamps that the Circle won in the^Our School for Victory contest into a $25 war bond. This gives the Circle a total of $200 in war bonds.
On Jan. 21, a group from our Circle made the trip to Waukegan to pat on the barn dance lor the Society's 40th anniversary sponsored by the Waukegan lodges and Circle 24. It was a very iucc. ssful affair and certainly a lot Of fun for everyone in the group from Chicago.
You will probably read more about the Waukegan affair on these pages and hear about it at our next regular meeting which will be1 on Saturday, Jan. 27,. in the lower SNPJ hall at 10:30 a. in. Be sure to attend.

The President's demand fur legislation drafting workers for private profit is hard tp explain, except on

Either the Chief Executive'» *ub-ordinate* have not »uppliud him with accurate information concerning the manpower situation In the war nlants; or the President is uaiug his highly controversial draft suggestion to shift public opinion from
more embarrassing problems. • • •
Poople are asking for explanations concerning the "break-through" on the Western Front, und Hanson Baldwin, military expert of the New York "Times", an ardently pro-ItooMcvelt publication, is calling on Congress to immediately investigate the charge that the arme our men are using in Europe are inferior to those of the Germans,
"Why, at this stage of the war, are Arrterlean tanks inferior to the enemy's?" Baldwin demands. "Thai they are inferior Ihe fighting in Normandy showed. In the recent battlisin the Ardenrx a It waa again emphatically demonstrated.
"TIU* ban been denied, explain* d away und hushed up, but Die men who direct our tanks agulhat much heavier, better unnoted und more powerfully gunned German moii-strra, know the truth," , • • *
Baldwin does not stop wlui tanks. He udda anti tank guns, the teeli-niquo of mines and mining, self-propelled gunK and the jet plane.
"There i» no luck of American Inventive genius, no luck of engln* cering skill, no luck of devotion and energy, but there Is u superfluity of red tape," Baldwin says. "There |x evtr-oigunizu 'uri und there is lack of cleur directive vision."

SHOE STAMPEDE	| WPB must bear full responsibil-
Coosumers are not living up to (ity for this crisis. Its fsilure to
their wartime responsibilities. The Military reverses on the Western front highlight irresponsible behavior on the home front. The Christmas buying spree has been followed by scare buying of shoes. Apparently, the stampede started on the West Coast sfter OPA csn-celled unused red and blue stamps in its revamped food rationing program. Panic shoe buying then spread eastward, and was heightened by OPA reports that the now shoe stamp would probsbly not be validated until "some time next summer." Previously, it had been planned to validate a new shoe stamp on May
There is no justification for this buying panic. OPA has Issued the strongest assurances thst sll three airplane »Lamps will be good indefinitely and will not be invalidated. Price Administrator Bowles has ststed thst there is "not s chance in s million" that outstanding shoe stamps will be cancelled.
You can hejp yourself and the war effort by paying no attention to rumors that shoe stamps will be made Invalid.
establish mandatory programs for meeting essential civilian requirements has resulted in s situation where many war workers cannot get the shirts and overalls they need.
TOWEL SIZES LIMITED In an effort to increase the supply of towels for both military and civilian use. WPB has drawn up new size specificstioos for turkish and terry woven towels made after January 22nd. Turkish and terry woven toweling will be limited to 32 picks (unlooped filling thresds, used to anchor the loops) per tftch on the loom Bath size towels will be held down to a length of 40 inches, and guest size towels to 26 inches. It is expected that the new specifications will increase the total supply of turkish towels by sbout 1.300,000 a month, a rise of some 12%.

goods back on Uie ration list. Signers of the telegrams included representatives of Consumers Union, the American Home Economic Association, the Nstionsl Fsrmers Union, Lesgue of Women Shoppers end t>ie CIO Cost of Living Com mitW.
The telegrams stated: "We have halreody brought to your attention the desire of our members that rationing be restored for foods whose aupply Is still short. In order to protect consumers who have neither money nor storage space to hoard, and to assure fair distribution of supplies." The consumer, representatives requested that rationing be maintained "without relaxation until plentiful supplies are actually on hand."
LESS PAINT
Civilian consumption of lesd in 1945 hss been limited to 60% of the 1944 level. Thst Is expected to csuse sbout f 10% reduction in the current output of paint for civilian
v The paint industry's quota for pig lesd wss cut by about the same proportion. But substitution of titanium and titan-oxide pigments will enable the industry to keep the over-all cut down to 10%. v
The production of exterior paints for civilian use will be much harder hit. That mat:., be reduced by as much as 20 to 25%, because no further lead can be taken out of the formulas. And not much more titanium can be added.
Since stocks are not very satisfactory. manufacturers believe they will be able to deliver only about 75 to 90% of last spring's supply of exterior paints.
FROZEN POODS To conserve available supplies of frozen foods, the industry has laughed a volutsry rationing program. " Frozen vegetables in storsgo amount to arouod 163.500,000 pounds and frozen fruits total 290,000.000 pounds But practically all of the latter will go to the armed forces.
Production of froxrn foods rose from 45(1.000.000 pounds in 1943 to 000.000.000 pounds in 1944. The government took 30% of 1944's frosen vegetable output. In 1945, Its purchases are expected to Increase substantially.
Production in 1944 was retarded by poor crops in some sections of the country and lack of warehousing refrigeration. The industry, because of wartime restrictions, did practically nothing with meats Spd poultry.
With available stocks now well tielow normal civilian demand, re tall« rs will be rationed so that sup-lies can be stretched

.RUING YANK ROCKETS AT MINDORO
CLEVELAND, O—In case anybody wants to know how come Betty and I are here on your SNPJ farm, I will tell you this much. When the last caretakers left, it became almost impossible to get snv-one to. take care of this place. I told Betty that the proposition doesn't sound bad. so why shouldn't we take the job. Concerning the job at the plant, conditions will hardly be any different as it doesn't take me as long to go to work as it does most people in the city.
Everything has been lovely, until we got this awful heavy snow Since then I have shoveled more snow and got ditched more times than ever before in my humdrum life. And then another thing, too So much snow packed and froze on the roof of our dance hall, that on a rcccnt Sunday morning a good half of the roof and two walls came crashing down. Most of us feel that the hall wasn't very rugged in structure, but if it could only have waited till the-"duration" was over, we wouldn't have such a nasty problem.
Your grounds look good in the winter time. There is a big variety of winter birds that we watch from our kitchen window. We put out a feeding tray and so far we've been ab!e, with the help of bird books, to distinguish nuthatches*, chicha dees, titmice and blue jays. Our cats have made efforts to pounce on them and if this habit of the cats continues we'll have to get rid of our felines three.
On our portion of the stream, we have mallards cozily spending the winter with us. One drake and three females of the specie. We go and watch them glide on the water and they act comparatively un alarmed.

We wouldn't dream of shooting our fine feathered friends. The farm board, our farmer neighbor and myse|f «don't let anyone come mecsing ground with guns. No hunting on your SNPJ grounds!
Something I've been wanting to do, and I may sometime, Is to make a menagerie which would consist of the four-footed wild creatures of this region. There are plenty of racoons, and maybe I'll catch a young one this spring. Our neighbor said that he saw a fox on our drive. That put ms to thinking of trappihg him alive. So far, I haven't done anything with the Idea except toy with it on this paper. On and around our place, we have skunks, a rather smelly subject. From their bedroom window, our kids watch jerky chipmunks cavort in the good old summer time. We also have opossums in our chiokcn house.
Your SNPJ farm hasn't done so badly considering conditions. Last year we had some clambakes and shop picnics on Saturdays. We were pretty sure of getting some small shop picnics this year; but our hall being in ruins, makes \tljp future look a little dark. One comforting fact is that the farm board doesn't seem to be too scared by this incident, and at their last annual meeting they went on record to negotiate for the neighboring five acres that arc for sale.
On Sunday, Jan. 26, your farm board is staging a concert for the benefit of your farm. We wgnt to make your recreation grounds a better Dlace to come to. We also would like to have a little of what it takes to nut up a good substantial roof, floor and walls. So that when the boys come home to dance and sing and make the girls happy again, we want the floor to hold a lot of people and we want the roof to stay up.
My family and I are going to try to come to the concert. We've been snowbound a little too often; but we'll get thru even if we have to use a sled and dog team. Mush!

Farm, City Co-ops Work Out Co-op System
SOUTH BEND. IND. (CLNS)— The consumer cooperative leaders of this city have organized a conference. soon to be held of the farmer member owners of the St. Joseph county farm bureau cooperatives and the city member owners of cooperative stores.
"We decided to begin to serve our members \yith coal a year ago." said J. H. Rightly, lesder of the city cooperative societies. "We bought cost from wholesale coal dealers and the first coal we got was sll right. Then we got some more coal and a large part of It was not coal. It was very unsatisfactory
"Then we aproached tlyr Indians Fsrm Buresu Cooperatives snd developed s very satisfactory arrsnge-ment with them for the delivery of coal to us. The volume was getting to become important when trucks became scarce and delivery of coal became diffioult.
"But that experience taught us something We lesrned thst it was entirely possible for fsrm consumers and city consumers to work* together We then called the conference of farmeis and city workers and we are going to demonstrate that as consumers the workers In industry in the cities and the workers on farms have a common bond of interest."
Nothing thst hss happened since the beginning of World War II has caused more concern to thinking people than the conflict between the Greek Liberation Front and the British army of occupation. Although Greece is relatively small, with an area equal to New York State and a population equal to New York City, its armed forces inflicted heavy losses upon the invading Italian armies and were defyted only as the result of extensivl German support.
After tfce German occupation, the Greeks took to the hHls and continued their struggle. Lord Dun-sany, who was teaching in Athens at the time the Germans overran Greece, has dramatized the conflict In his vivid novel, Guerilla (Bobbs-Merrili, 1944),
While Jugoslav partisans under Marshal Tito were winning worldwide acclaim by their unexpected successes against the Axis^ armies, the Greek Resistance was^carrying on its less publicized campaigns. As .the Red armies swept across Southern Europe during the late summer Of 1914, the Greek Resistance, like the Jugoslav Partisans, was harrying the retreating Nazis. While Marshal Tito waB celebrating his triumph by launching the Moscow-blessed Jugoslav Federation, members of the Greek National Liberation Front were refusing to lay down their arms at the command of the British-backed Papandveou government. The same newspapers that announced the establishment of the Jugoslav Federation reported fighting between Greek ELAS armies and the British army of occupation.
Nazi withdrawal from Greece was immediately followed by British military occupation. Greek citizens welcomed the British as liberators and assumed that they would now be able to establish a government of their own choice. They were soon disillusioned.	S
Churchill's Tory government had no intention of allowing the Greek people to chart their own course. Quite the contrary, Mr. Churchill had two very specific interests in Greece. First, and incidentally, he was working to restore the Greek monarchy. Monarchy is dear to the bhurchillian heart, and the exiled King of Greece has been one of his titled proteges for years.
Churchill's second reason for interference in Greece is more fundamental. The present war has demonstrated, as strategists had foreseen, that British communications with India through the Mediterranean depended, not only upoh Gibraltar and Suez, but also upon intervening points in North Africa and Southern Europe' and upon a nufhber of strategic islands, from Pantelleria and Sicily to Crete and the Greek island of Cyprus.
British postwar policy will aim at sufficient control of the Mediterranean area to safeguard the Life Line. Greece is an essential factor in Mediterranean hegemony.
Although no documents have been published, it seems evident that some understanding has been reached under which the Soviet government recognizes the Mediterranean as a British sphere of influence. Presumably it was this agreement that stopped the Red army at the Greek frontier. Ernest Bevin, speaking in London on December 13th, insisted that the British policy in Greece was accepted and initialed at the recent Quebec conference between the President and the Prime Minister. Washington answered that only military proposals were considered at Quebec.
Papandreou, the exiled 'Greek king and the Churchill government seem to be unpopular with > the Greek Resistance forces that have been carryihg oa their unequal struggle since the country was occupied by Italian-German armies. When the British decided that the time had come to disarm the Resistance forces in all of the liberated countries, frorp Belgium in the west to Greece in the east, the Greek leftists refused to give up their arms unless the Greek rightists were also disarmed.
This refusal of the Left to lay down tlftir aims was followed by clashes that led to* bloodshed in Athens and the proclamation of a general strike that threatened the existence of the Papandreou government. Thereupon Prime Minis ter Churchill personally ordered the British military commander in Greece to take necessary measures in support of the Greek government.
Churchill's explanation to Commons on December 5th Justified British intervention on the ground thst the British wetr doing everything in their power to provide the Greeks with sorely needed relief snd employment "But we cannot do this if the tommy guns whicn were provided for use against the Germans are now used in an attempt to impose by violence a communist dictatorship without the people being able to express their wishes." Mr. Churchill added. "It would be very much easier for us to allow everything to degenerate, as it would, into anarchy or a communist dictstorship"
In the same statement to Commons. the Prime Minister recognized the principle of aelf-determination :
"Whether the Greek people ion. themselves into a monarchy or re public is for their decision. . . iw are entirely matters for them." But Mr. Churchill continued, "until the» are in a position to decide, we shaj not hesitate to use the considerable British army now in Greece, and 1*. ing reinforced, to see that law and order are maintained."
With that the war was on. Earjy dispatches described the success of the British in capturing Left head-quarters and in clearing three square miles in the centre of Athens. Then c^me reports of street fighting strafing and bombing from British planes, British tank movements an-J bombardment by British warships in the Piraeus area. On December li the leftist forces were reported as ready to surrender, but on December IS they had occupied all but two of the strategic high points in the centre of Athens and had massed laige forces in the provinces. On December 14 ELAS forces were again fighting from street to street in the capital.
Even the Times of London, alwayg a stalwart supporter of British imperialism, writes that the Churchill government is running into a full-scale war in Greece. ELAS, warn» the Times, is strong enough in Athens to fight a real war, -while "in other areas of Greece, including especially the region of Salonika, the National Liberation Front is in control, if not a numerical major-ity." It may be true, the Times goes bn, that there is danger of a Left dictatorship in Greece, but in British government policy the "forcible restoration of righ.t-wing dictatorship was taken equally for granted."
' *
British military action in support of its chosen government in Greece was paralleled by non-military action directed against Britain's political opponents in Italy. Premier Bonomi, who had the support of the Italian Allied Commission in his attempt to re-form a cabinet, was advised by a British representative in Rome that Count Sforza would not be acceptable dither as premier or as foreign minister. (Churchill to Commons, Dec. 8: "The British minister did undoubtedly say to the Itflian inquiry that we did not think Count Sforza a particularly good choice, or words to that effect.")
Big Three political policy in Italy is made, at least theoretically, by the Allied Commission. The British, in attempting to oxcludc Count Sforza from certain offices, were speaking quite out of turn. British justification for interference in Italy as in Greece: the necessity of controlling Italy as an essential link in Mediterranean hegemony.
Newly appointed Secretary of State Stcttinius was not convinced, however: 'The position of this country i has been consistently that the composition of the Italian government is purely an Italian affair except in the case of appointments where important military factors are concerned. This government has not in any way intimated to the Italian government that there would be any opposition on its part to Count Sforza. Since Italy is an area of combined responsibility, we have reaffirmed to both the British and Italian governments that we expect the Italians to work out their problems of government along democratic lines without influence from outside. This policy would apply to an even more pronounced degree with regard to governments of the United Nations in their liberated territories."
This forthright, specific statement ranged the United States government against the British government's position in Greece as well as in Italy. There is no shadow of doubt but that Messrs. Roosevelt and Stettinius are. as anxious a» Messrs. Churchill and Eden to prevent a communist dictatorship in Greece or anywhere else, but they question whether Britain's machine-gun diplomacy is the proper method of procedure.
