C„ 7. jan. ^ Federalno vrhovno sodišče je podalo dalekoaešen in važen odlok, da morajo delodajalci na podlagi Wagnerjevega zakona podpisati dogovor, ki ga sklenejo a delavskimi unijami in se ta nanaša na mezdo, delovne ure in delovne pogoje. Odlok je rezultat priai va H. J. Heinz Co., ki ga sodbi federalnega delavskega odbora, da mora razpust itVfcom-panijski unijo in priznati unijo Canning A Pickle Workers, včlanjeno v Ameriški delavski federaciji, kot predstavnico delavcev pri kolektivnih pogajanjih In podpisati pogodbo. Mnenje sodišča, katerega Je podal sodnik Harlan F. Stone, Je bilo, da Wagnerjev zakon ne zahteva, da mora/o delodajalci skleniti dogovor s delavci, toda odklonitev podpisa pogodbe ali dogovora, kadar je dosežen, pomeni, da ae delodajalci nočejo kolektivno pogajati, kar je kršenje zakona. Unije ADF in.CIO so vložile Že več pritožb proti kompanijam, ki so zavzele stališče, da Watfn«rjev z«Jkon ne zahteva podpisa pogodbe, pri nižjih federalnih sodiščih, toda slučaj Heinz Co. je prvi prišel pred vrhovno sodišče, ki je zdaj Rooseveltove poslanice kongresu. Namignjeno je bilo, da bo uradni komentar prišel po teme-ljlti študiji poslanice. Roosevelt je v tej le ponovno naglasil svoje znano stališče glede mednarodnih zadev. Rim, 7. Jan.—Rooaeveltova poslanica kongresu Je bila slaba novica za Italijane. Ti so zdaj Uverjeni, da se je Rooseveltove administracija postavila na stališče, da morata biti Italija in Nemčija poraženi v vojni z Veliko Britanijo. Iz fašističnih komentarjev je razvidno, da Je Italija Še vedno uverjena, da bo Velika Britanija poražena, predno bo mogla slednja dobiti učinkovito |K)moč iz Amerike. Wa*hlngton. D. C., 7. Jan,— Predsednik Roosevelt Je v svoji poslanici kongresu med drugim naglasil, da vidi dan. ko bo ponovno vladal mir, za*no pa Je napovedal ustanovitev Zveze demokratičnih držav, ki bo skrbela za ohranitev miru. Tnenil Je štiri točke, na katerih bo slonel mir. Te so bil/: Svoboda govora In izražanja pg vsem svetu. Svoboda za vsako osebo, da moli Boga na svoj način. O d p r a v a pomanjkanja po vsem svetu.

To prepričanje prevladuje, čeprav ae poročila glase, da sovjeti ne bodo storili nobenega koraka, če bodo nacijske čete udrle v Bolgarijo in zasedle njeno ozemlje. V Sofijo je dospel Aleksander Mihajkovič, Visok sovjetski uradnik in veščak v balkanskih zadevah. On je direktor divizije sovjetskega zunanjega komisarljata. Poročilo, da je že konferiral z bolgarskim kraljem Borisom in zunanjim ministrom Ivanom Po-povom, še ni bilo uradno potrjeno. Iz dlplomatičnjh virov so prišle vesti, da je Turčija koncentrirala več tisoč izbranih vojakov v Tracljl ob bolgarski meji. Druge vesti is bolgarskih mest pravijo, da se ni pokazalo nobeno znamenje, da bodo nemške čete, zbran« na drugi strani Dona- potrdllo odlok fed«raln«ga de-fv*, prekoračile mejo In udrle v Bolgarijo. Helgrsd, 7. jan.—Ceprev tukajšnji nemški krogi trdijo, da j« Rusija sklenila sporazum a Hitlerjem, da lahkq nem«ke čete Invadirajo Bolgarijo, prevladuje mnenji«, da a« to ne bo zgodilo, dokler ne bo reka Donava zamrznjena ali pa se dovolj odtajala, da jo bodo nemški vojaki, ki ae nahajajo v RumuhiJI, lahko prekoračili. Ti krogi so izjavili, da se J« bolgarski premier Bogdan Filov sestal z nemškim zunanjim ministrom Ribb«ntropom In mu povedal, da s« Bolgarija ne bo upirala nacijskl Invaziji svpjega ozemlja, če J« Moskva v resnici sklenila sitoravum s Hitlerjem glede vkorakanja nemških čet v Bolgarijo.

To pomeni, da se udeležita 4va, kar ni več kot prav, ker vsakdo ima prijatelja in ta dan gresta lahko skupaj na veselico. Ker bo na pustno soboto, bo nekaj posebnega — bodo pljug vlekli, kot pravijo. Vstopnice morajo biti plačane do 80. marca radi federalnega davka. Plačajte jih pri tajniku. Vabim vas na prihodnjo sejo, ki bo drugi torek v mesecu, to je 14. jan., v S. S. T. halli.

L. 1840 pa je Američan ,^orse nadomestil svojo prvotno irzojavno pisavo v lomljenih črtah s sistemom znakov iz krajših in daljših črtic. Ta sistem poznamo še danes kot "Morseovo abecedo." Človek bi si mislil, da se je moral takšen izum, kakršen je Morseov brzojav, poroditi v glavi fizika ali tehnika. Namesto tega je bil Morse le slikar, ki se je bil dotlej bavil le s čopičem in barvami ter si je kot takšen pridobil tudi nekaj imena. Seveda ni bil sam, ki je izumil elek-tromagnetski pisni brzojav, temveč so že prej Gauss, Wqber in Steinheil ustvarili znanstveno podlago za ta izum. Na povratku z daljšega potovanja do krajev antične umetnosti v Italiji je dobil Morse pobude za električne poskuse. To je bilo L 1832. L. 1837 je z uporabo slikarskega stojala izdelal prvi, za patent godni model brzojavnega pisalnega aparata. Na vseučilišču v New Yorku se je izvršil veliki poskus pred študenti in profesorji, znake so razločno sprejeli in so se samodelno zabeležili na papirni trak. Toda ti znAki so bili še primitivni. Vstvariti pa je bilo treba pisavo, ki bi bila preprosta, kratka in vsem umljiva. Morse je flftftftA, S. JAVTTAItTA proučeval to vprašanje dolgi' te dne in mesece. Zanimivo je, k J ko je prišel potem do izuma tak šne pisave. Nekega dne je vze| r roke star časnik, preitel je poj edine črke in njih pogostost, pri tem jih je na ko« papirja označeval z znaki iz pik in Črtic. U. U 1840 je stopil a svojim mom pred javnost in ga predvajal tudi kongresu. Znaki so pri. hajali skozi 10 milj dolgo žico razločno do sprejemnika in jih je bilo mogoča hitro in preprosto brati. Ameriška vlada je bila navdu-šena m je takoj določila 30,000 dolarjev za postavitev prve br-¿ojavne proge. Zaradi gospodarske krize, ki je nastala v Zedi-njenih državah, se ta načrt sprva ni mogel uresničiti. Morse, ki je ostal slikarstvu zvest kot ravnatelj akademije lepih umet-nosti, je bil nevoljen in se je po. svetil spet slikarstvu. V decembru 1842 pa je ameriška poslan-ska zbornica znova načela vprašanje Morseovega izuma in je določila potrebno vsoto za gradnjo poskusne brzojavne proge med Washingtonom in Baltimo-rom. Dne 27. maja 1843 je bila ta 60 km dolga proga dovršena, Morse je dosegel svoj smoter. Bogat in obsut s častmi se je tedaj tehniki umaknil in je živel v podeželski hišici pri New Yorku spet upodabljajoči umetnosti. Na njegovi mizi je stala do njegove smrti 1. 1872 Morseova tipka, s katero se je lahko zvezal 1 vsako brzojavno postajo na gvetu. Prva brzojavna proga, v Evro-pi je ob priliki frankfurtskega narodnega zbora vezala Berlin s Frankfurtom, pozimi leta 1849 so po njej sporočili kot prvo vest o izvolitvi nemškega cesarja v Berlin.

Joe Vidmar kar na lepem izmislil. Kako pa v slučaju, če so gl. odborniki obenem odborniki federacije? — Br. Vidmar ponavlja obtožbo, katero je suge-stiral milwauški federaciji, da Prosveta ne širi več delavske izobrazbe in ni več urejevana v smislu resolucije, katera daje smernice jednotinim publikacijam — dokaza pa ne navaja nobenega. "Urednik ima dokazov polne roke, kar pregleda naj svoje članke zadnjih dveh let!" Kaj je dokazanega s temi besedami \ Nič! Na ta način, br. Vidmar, ne trdijo resni možje. Ce je u-rednik obtožen, mora tožitelj pregledati članke in iz njih citirati di8kriminirane stavke, odstavke in vsako besedilo, ki jt proti resoluciji! To je dokazo vanje, br. Vidmar. LAŽ je, dt urednik piše propagando za voj< no in slavospeve demokratsk, stranki ter njeni newdealski ad ministraciji! Kdor to trdi, n< zna čitati ali je pa tako zaslep Ijen s svojimi političnimi dogma mi, da čita vsako stvar narobe Urednik Prosvete nikdar ne pi še kakšnih slavospevov, temvet konstatira le dejstva. — Smeš na je tudi Vidmarjeva trditev da so nazivi "komunist, petoko-lonec, sopotnik in apizar" žalji vi za naše Člane. Za katere čla ne? Kako more biti užaljen ne kdo, ki ni komunist ali sopotnik če Prosveta piše o komunistih ii sopotnikih?

".S ' Ko je bilo zidarsko delo do-cončano in so se na pročelju zasvetile črke "SNPJ št. 603", je narsikdo, ki se je peljal mimo, »bstal in si ogledoval lepo stav-j »o, ki je zrastla v tako kratkem j asu. Na božični dan sva s taj- j tikom govorila, kajt naj ukrene-no na prihodnji seji in kdaj naj jo otvoritev, da dobimo predsed-lika jednote br. Vincenta Cain-tarja kot glavnega govornika. Dne 27. dec. pa pride ponoči »lementarna nezgoda, ki nam poruši dvorano do tal. Ko nje Je zjutraj prišel-obvestiti neki Američan, da je dvorana popolnoma uničene, nisem vedel, kaj bi storil. Sel sem takoj na lice mesta in ko sem zagledal razvaline, bi te kmalu razjokal, ko sem videl, da je vihar uničil v par minutah we, kar smo mi zgradili v par mesecih s trudapolnim delom. Delo, denar, požrtvovalnost član-itvs in potežkoče, vse to mi stopi pred pči. Ksj sedaj ? Ali se zopet popri-nemo dels in gremo naprej, ali pustimo vse skupaj pri miru? Moje mnenje je, da gremo z de- PROSVETA lom, katerega smo začeli, naprej. Ker nam je elementarna katastrofa uničila vse, imamo še pota, katerih se lahko posluiimo in sem prepričan, da ne bo zaman. Ako apeliramo za finančno pomoč na gl. urad SNPJ in na društva, jednote, katerih je preko 700, nam bodo gotovo pomagala is tega žalostnega položaja. Ne spominjam se, da bi gl. odbor kdaj v zgodovini SNPJ odrekel pomoč društvom, kadar jih je doletela taka usoda kakor je doletela naše društvo 603. Apeliram tudi na posamezna društva in dvorane, da nam pomagajo kolikor je v njih moči. Podpisani je delal že pri več društvenih in narodnih domovih, na primer v Prestu, kjer Ustuje dvorano Izobraševslno društvo, v Canonsburgu, ki je last društva 133 SNPJ in pri Slovenskem delavskem domu v Clevelandu, O. Ko sem se naselil semkaj, sem takoj videl, kakšnega pomena je, ako ima naselbina svojo lastno dvorano. Tako sem tudi tukaj začel delati na to, da si društvo postavi svoj lastni dom* v katerem b1 se lahko zbirala starejša in mlajša generacija in kjer bi lahko razpravljali o problemih, ki se tako hitro spreminjajo. O tem hočem napisati nekoliko pozneje. , Jernej Hafner, 603.

Jaz to smatram kot kazen, tajnik pa kot asesment— Čudno se mi vidi, da imamo pri našem društvu davek na asesment. Tajnik pošilja pošto po članih, ako teh vstopnic ne plačam v januarju, da ne bo vzefc asesmenta. Tukaj plača vsak član 15c mesečnega asesmenta v društveno blagajno. Prosim za pojasnilo, če društvo lahko kaznuje člana, če se ne udeleži veselice. - Frank Gognave. Uredniška pripomba: Društvo ne more nikogar kaznovat^ Če se ne udeleži veselice. Lahkot pa ob priliki kakšne svoje priredbe vsem članom brez razlike, če se veselice udeležiš ali ne, naloži izredni asesment, Članom pa "podari" vstopnice. Z drugo besedo: legalno mora član plačati izredni asesment, ne ps vstopnice, če se ne udeleži. Ce je vaše društvo v tem smislu zaključilo, je tajnik v pravem, če ni, ste vi v pravem. f riževe poti današnjega potovalca Po naroČilu uredništva "Frankfurter Zeitung" je švedska publi-cistka dr. Margret Boverl potovala preko 8ibirije in Japonske v Zedinjene drŽave, kjer naj bi se nastanila kot poročevalka tega lista. S kakšnimi težavami je mogla dospeti do svojega namembnega kraja, opisuje v dolgem članku, Iz katerega posnemamo poučne odstavke o borbi za potne liste. Danes, pravi dr. Margret Bove-riejeva, ni več mogoče, da bi človek kakor 1. 1872 do sedmih večer v klubu igral whist In eno uro pozneje brez nadaljnjih .priprav stopil v vlak za potovanje okoli sveta (kakor je. to napravil nesmrtni Phileas Fogg, junak 80-dnevnega potovanja okoli sveta Iz Verneovegs romana). Tudi ni več mogoče, da bi spravil v ročno torbico dve srajci In tri pare hogavic, vse ostnlo pa bi si kupoval meonskem—In parnik, ki od plove 22. avgusta, je videti še dobro dosegljiv. Toda ob začetku julija amerlškoga vizuma, od katerega je vse nadaljnje odvisno, še vedno nI v tvojih rokah . « . Navzlic temu naročiš prostor na ladji za 30. avgust. Pobotnica, da je potnina plačana, je tedaj za ameriški konzulat pripravlje-na. Začne se čakanje. Sredi ju-lja Izgubiš skoraj vse nade. Ali bi ne bilo pametneje, da bi opustil brzojavijanje In nastopi) drugo potovanje, ki ga imaš v načrtu že od zime? Toda 18. julija ti izjavi ameriški generalni konzulat, da bo odločitev o vizumu padla 22. julija. Takoj si naroČiš prostor na letalu, ki odpotuje 23. julija v Berlin. Naslednji štirje dnevi potečejo v polni napetosti, s polovičnimi pripravami, s koncipiranjem poslovilnih pisem—toda vse brez pravega prepričanja. Dno 22. Julija izpolniš y resnici veliko belo polo I mnogimi natiskanimi vprašanji, vse skupaj se pokrije z več podpisi, na vsebino prisdtoš t dvignjeno roko pred ameriškim konzulom. To je ameriški vizum. Tega ne vpišejo na kakšno strah potnega lista, temveč je listina zase, kos papirja, ki ga lahko, izgubiš in ki je nonadomestljiv.- , Vozni listek za polet v Berlin se torej vendurle izkoristi. Dne 24. junija se začne krožno potovanje okrog zastopstev Rusije, Japonske in Mandžukua. Toda nenadno ne zanima več dragoceni ameriški vizum, ki je veljal doslej za osnovni pogoj vseh nadaljnjih zahtev, nikogar več. Noben človek si ga noče niti pogledati. Namesto tega pa zahtevajo druga potrdila In Izjave. Kandidat za potovanje je morda razpoložen za točnost kakor Phileas Fogg, merda poskusi tudi to, da se ne da spraviti 1« miru, toda če čaka s sedemdesetimi drugimi ljudmi v predsobi kakšnega kon-zulata, sedi, stoji, sili naprej in ga porivajo nazaj, med tem ko se za zaprtimi vrati dogajajo brezkončni pogovori, se „ga na zadnje vendarle spet lotijo dvomi, da 11 se bo njegovo potovanje sploh kdaj začelo. Navzlic temu tvega sedaj ponovno nekaj: določi st za odlet is Moskve 9. avgust, naroči si vozovnico za letalo In za transibirsko Železnico. Vse je tako preračunano, da bo mogoče s kakšnimi štlrlmUpetl-ml dni za nepredvidene zakasnitve tisti psrnlk, ki odplove 30. avgusta, vendarle doseči, Končno Je vse opravljeno.

Skoro neverjetno je, da se more poročilo toliko spremeniti med potjo' iz East Helene v Chicago. Moja kopija kaže, da je bil star 56 let in rojen v vasi Igienk pri Novem mestu, ne Smihelu-Stopičih. Dalje je iz poročila popolnoma izginilo, da je zapustil tri hčere in tri brate v Združenih državah, tri sestre v starem kraju in da e bival tukaj nad 80 let. Mogoče je videlo vam moje poročilo malo preobširno in da bi vzelo )reveč dragocenega prostora 'rosveti. Bil pa sem pod vtisom, da imamo tudi na zapadu malo pravice do prostora v Prosveti, Dosebno še, ker vidim obširna K>ročila~ iz vzhodnih naselbin. Ker pa ste mogoče prejeli poroči-o od koga drugega in moje zavrgli, prosim pojasnila. Joe. Mihelic, tajnik št 148. Urednikova pripomba: O smrti br. Saška je Prosveta prejela dve poročili. Pravilo je, da ob-avimo vest, ki pride prva. Ta vest je bila seveda pomanjkljiva. Kadar umre član, si navadno pomagamo pri pomanjkljivih poročilih, da pogledamo v listine v jednotinem arhivu glede starosti n rojstnega kraja pokojnika. To smo storili tudi v slučaju br. Saška In v pristopni listini, katero je pogojnik sam podpisal, stoji, da jeoil rojen v dmihelu-Stopi-' črh. Poznejša vest, katero je poslal br. Mihelič, je bila seveda drugačna, ampak naša navada je, da se pri spornih vesteh vselej opiramo na uradne listine. Ali bi ne bilo bolje, če bi se bratje pri društvih sporazumeli, kdo naj bo poročevalec, namesto da poročata dva ali celo trije in vsak drugače, potem pa vsi skupaj zvrnejo krivdo na uredniitvo? van Cankar" uprizorili Finžgar-jevega "Divjega lovca", ki je poznana ljudska igra, katera je še vedno popularna, akoravno je bila igrana že večkrat.

"Pa kako, da ima naša zadruga letos tako malo biznesa?" so me vpraševali. Hm, prvič je minulo leto pomrlo precej manj tukajšnjih rojakov kot povprečno druga leta; drugič ima ta zadruga ravno take potežkoče kot vsako drugo zadružno delavsko podjetje: nerazumevanje, ignoranca in škodoželjnost od tistih, za katere dobrobit je bila ustanovljena. Tre tjič pa ml ne hodimo obiskovat bolnikov po hišah z namenom prikupiti se domačim, da dobi mo "hiznes", ko bo bolnik umrl kot delajo nekateri drugi. "Rad bi šel v bolnišnico obi skat prijatelja, pa se bojim, da bo mislil on in njegovi domači da komaj Čakamo na njegov konec", mi je pojamral upravitelj zadruge. "Ampak drugim tega ne zamerijo, če tudi jih obiščejo edino iz tega namena," je pristavil. Na potu po naselbinah sem naletel na 83-letnega starčka, ki samotari v majhni koči. "Oh, ali še oskrbujete pogrebe V' me je vprašal. Pritrdil sem mu in ob enem želel srečno novo leto, kot je že obibaj. "Veš," mi je rekel, '.'ne bom več dolgo, pa sem že naročil, da me vaš zavod spravi, ko pride konec. Pred nekaj leti ste tako lepo in poceni poskrbeli za pogreb moje žene". Pa mi je nadalje pravil, da mu je več let pred tem umrla hči in mu je neki drugi pogrebnik računal samo za obleko tnipla 85 dolarjev in za njajhen cvet liHje za v roke 8 dolarjev. - Kljub letošnjemu majhnemu prometu je zadruga v dobrem stanju. 2e to, da zadruga posluje 15 let, je napredek, na katerega smo lahko ponoeni. Vse delo v zvezi s pogrebi še vedno vrši za zadrugo mr. Bert Morgan, ki ima sam ugledno pogreb-niško podjetje v Pittsburghu. Iz praktičnega stališča zdaj tudi zadruga rabi njegove moderno urejene pogrebniške prostore, dasi imamo še vedno v Fronte nacu drugo opremo in zalogo krst. Precej let je menda bila ta zadruga daleč naokrog edina te vrste. Is raznih poročil pa je razvidno, da je bilo v minulem letu ustanovljenih že nad 50 zadružnih pogrebnih zavodov žirom Amerike. S temi vrsticami se tudi opozarjajo vsi člani na letno sejo druge, ki se vrši v nedeljo, 19. januarja, ob 2. uri popoldne slovenski dvorsni v Fronte nacu. Na dnevnem redu bo, poleg drugih stvari, celoletno poročilo o prometu in stanju tega zavoda ter volitev odbora. Pridite na sejo! A. Hhular, tajnik. Smrt člana v Kanadi Nanalme, H.

Mislim, da se kritik ne moti. Jaz imam slične izkušnje.1 Ko prinesem koledarje na sejo, nekaj članov mene gleda, nakaj pa koledarje, naenkrat se pa eden oglasi: "Ce naša organizacija nima boljših ko so ti, še te nazaj pošlji." Jaz jih nekaj časa tolažim, da jaz nisem kriv, če jim koledarji ne ugajajo, pa se nekdo oglasi: "Za nas majnarje so dosti dobri." In tako sem bil rešen sitnosti, da mi jih ni bilo treba nazaj v Chicago pošiljati. Ne vem pa, če so koledarji pri šli domov, ker je bilo vreme silno viharno.- V Prosveti in Enakopravnosti tudi vidim, da se bosta ti organizaciji združili.

Odprto je bilo na Silveetrov večer in je adaj na razpolago cenjenemu občinstvu in prijateljem, zlasti tistim. ki jih veeeli kegljanje. Torej oglejte si naše moderno ke-gljišče. kakor tudi naš predelan društveni dom. La (Dalja Is prva li komunizem, kakor oni, ki so si izbrali fasi. zem (razen fathra Coughlina ia še nekaterih), za demokracijo! Danes vsi pojejo glorijo ameriški demokraciji! Kako je to mogoče? Ali je mogoče, da w vsi oni, ki so še včeraj videli le fašizem in ko-munizem, danes zagledali tudi demokracijo? V nekaterih posameznih primerih je to mogoče. Človek, ki je leta In leta slep, lahko izpregleda in spozna resnico. V vseh teh primerih radost-no pozdravljamo izpregledance in jim kličemo: Dobrodošli, bratje in sestre, dobrodošli v naših vrstah! — Na splošno pa to ni mogoče. Vsi niso in ne bodo nikdar izpregledali, enostavno zato ne, ker niso bili vzgojeni za to — ker niso bili vzgojeni za demokracijo. Iz tega razloga lahko upravičeno zaključimo, da je v današnjem slavopetju demokraciji kolosalna nota hinavfc-čine. Ljudje, ki ne dado nič na demokracijo, se igrajo demokrate! Ta igra jim ni težka in zanje je celo opravičljiva. Enostavno uve-riš samega sebe, da to, kar ti hočeš, je največja demokracija! Hudiča namalaš z obrazom angelja in hudič je angelj — in angelj je hudič v miselnem svetu! Ta igra je že stara. Stara je bila že takrat, ko sta Lenin in Trocki krstila svojo diktaturo za največjo demokracijo na svetu in vsi pravoverni komunisti še danes z mirno vestjo pravijo, da je Stalinova diktatura največja demokracija na svetu. In stara je bHa tudi takrat, ko sta Mussolini in Hitler krstila svoji diktaturi — ko je špahski krvolok Franko o-značil svojo diktaturo — za največjo demokracijo na svetu.' To ni nič novega; to se ponavlja že stoletja. Zgodovina je polna gnusobe, ki se je skrivala za najlepšim obrazom, ožarjenim s svetostjo . . . Zgodovina je polna prič, ki nam pripovedujejo, kako je "namen posvečeval sredstva" . . . 1 Yes, v Ameriki je danes na milijone hinavcev, ki pojejo glorijo demokraciji — v isti sapi, ko pojejo, pa tuhtajo,. kako bi to ameriško demokracijo prikrojili zase, kako bi iz nje naredili ponižno deklo, katera bi služila samo njim . . . Bratje in sestre! Toliko časa smo že na svetu, da smo se lahko naučili, da gola pesem ali gola beseda' ne pomeni nič. Delo, dejanja so, ki štejejo! Ako hočete videti hinavca, pazite dobro, kaj dela sosed, ki poje slavo demokraciji. Njegovo delo v krogih, ki izpod-kopavajo stebre 'demokracije, njegova pajda-šija, katera se na tihem veseli zmage totali-tarstva, njegovo neprestano iskanje napak v načrtu obrambe ameriške demokracije, njegova navdušenost za mir, ki more v tem momentu biti le Hitlerjev mir in smrt za demokracijo, njegova trditev, da je razlika med to in ono diktaturo — to vam lahko odkrije sovražnika demokracije, pa naj še tako poje glorijo demokraciji. Čuvajte se ga! — Katoliški list o revoluciji Glavno glasilo švicarske katoliiko-konser- vativne stranke, "Vaterland" je v oktobru —zapisalo sledeče značilne besede: 'K)b smrti Trockega je časopisje govorilo o Trockem kot o "permanentnem revolucionar-' ju." Beseda gre stvari do dna, kajti Trocki je bil v resnici večni revolucionar. Napačno bi pa bilo to večnost videti le v Trockem, kajti revolucionarnost se je v tem vulkaničnem razumniku kazala le kot v kakšnem gorišču. Od leta 1789, ko je stopila* revolucija kot zunanje zgodovinsko dejstvo na pozornico evropske celine, je bila revolucija na dnevnem redu vseh drŽav in preži že 150 let na vsako politično, socialno in versko vprašanje; zjrodovinsko raz-, dobje od 1. 1789 sem lahko Imenujemo dobo permanentne revolucije. Na zunaj je imelo to zlo svoj vzrok pri vladanih, ki jih ni bilo mogoče obvladati; toda najgloblji vzrok sam je ležal in še leži pri vladajočih, ki vladajo brez ljudstva. • To se je zgodilo z usmrtitvijo življenjskega živca, ki je vezal svobodo z avtoriteto, to se je zgodilo z zavratnim umorofrr avtoritete same. — Noben diktator zadnjih 150 let, začenši od Napoleona do najnovejših, ni mogel revolucije notranje premagati. Zmaga nad revolucijo je možna le z novim duhom. Dokler se ta duh ne bo usidral v politične, socialne in gospodarske zadeve, bomo živeli v stalni revoluciji; "permanentni revloucionar" Je mrtev, permanentna revolucija je pa bolj-živa kot kdajkoli poprej."

OUa ' ■ ' ' Í . ' ; Predsednikova kolona V NOVEM LETU ^0 Je za nami in natopilo Je 1941. Kakor v tej deželi navadno ob vsakem prehodu iz starega leta v novo, je bilo tudi topot veliko pozdravljanja in izmenjavanja sezonskih voščil, mnogo popevanja in veseličenja ter drugih takih ceremonij. In kakor drugi, smo se tudi člani SNPJ verno držali teh prijetnih tradicij ter obhajali spremembo leta na poseben način. Saj praznikovanje, prijateljska voščila in veseličenje za razvedrilo je na vsezadnje tudi na mestu, čeprav ni zmeraj neobhodno potrebno. Toda take reči hitro minejo, posebno za revne sloje in sedaj, ko je konec lahkomiselnih ceremonij in smo se znašli spet v resnih časih, je potrebno, da začnemo spet tudi z resnim delom. • Ob nastopu v novo leto se navadno vselej radi ozremo nazaj v dogodke iz preteklega leta. Nehote nam prihajajo misli o tem in onem, kar je bilo in kaj vse smo doživeli in menda vsak normalen človek se poskuša iz tega kaj naučiti ter praktične izkušnje iz preteklosti izkoristiti za izboljšanje svojega položaja in svoje bodoče dobro. In kakor je to z nami običaj glede nas samih, tako je glede organizacije. Tudi v organizaciji se dogajajo tekom leta številne reči in prav gotovo ne zmeraj samo dobre, in tudi iz poslovanja organizacije se vsako leto lahko veliko naučimo. In kakor poskušamo na podlagi lastnih doživljajev in praktičnih izkušenj izpoj)olniti svoje znanje ter dobiti širše obzorje, kakor se trudimo samo sebe izboljšati ter postati v bodoče še bolj koristni član! človeške družbe, prav tako je na mestu ih tudi potrebno, da na podlagi izkušenj in dobljenih rezultatov vedno izboljšujemo, večamo in izpopolnjujemo svojo organizacijo, da bo še bolj dovršena in človeštvu bolj koristna. In slednje je še toliko bolj važno. Kpjti naš uspeh in napredek v osebnih poslih in zadevah osrečuie in navdušuje več ali manj le nae Same ter nas bodri k Še večji (relavnosti, večjim naporom in vztrajnosti, medtem ko od našega dobrega in uspešnega dela v organizaciji poleg nas samih Ima koristi še stotine in tisoče drugih in blagodatnost, ki prihaja od našega zanimanja in aktivnosti, je vseobča. ^m ---T • I Zavedajmo se tega dobro, bratje in sestre! In odločni, da ne popustimo, temveč bomo še povečali aktivnosti za našo dobro jed-noto, v tej zavesti začenjamo leto 1941! KAJ NAS ČAKA Zro* nazaJ v nftAe organizacijske aktivnosti iz preteklega leta bomo lahko opazili marsikaj. Opazili bomo precej živahnosti v naših vrstah in opazili bomo tudi prilično lepe uspehe, zlasti ponekod. Ko bodo pregledana vsa društvena poročila ter izdelani končni računi našega letnega poslovanja, bo razvidno, da smo v preteklem letu spet dobili lepo število novih članov, da je spet narselo naše premoženje in da je napredek jednote vsestranski. Vae to je lepo in gotovo razveseljivo za vsakega dobregs člana. ToiR nas ne sme spraviti iz tira pri agitaciji ali odvrniti od nadaljnjega dela za jednoto, temveč naj učinkuje na nas ravno nasprotno: To zadoščenje in zadovoljstvo nam naj bo v nadaljnjo pobudo za aktivnosti v nas toplem letu! Ne smemo pozabiti, da člani tudi umirajo ter da ne organizacija stara in je vedno potrebno nadomestilo z novimi. Tudi ne smemo pozabiti, da je še veliko mladine, ki v resnici pripada nam, pa še ni naša. Vse te moramo pridobiti t V naši jednoti je pravo mesto za njih in pri naa je prostora za vse I Z nantopom novega leta je bila prenešena iz starega tudi naša mladinaka kampanja, katera se konča to pomlad in jo moramo dobro završiti. To je naša važna naloga za to leto. In ker ima kampanja tako lepe koncesije ter toliko izrednih privlsčnosti, ni i*»«ebno težko človeka zainteresirati in z njo pridobiti novega člana. Dajte se torej na delo in poskusite! Ako znste govoriti količkaj prepričevalno, boste gotovo ifrpeli. In poleg zadoščenja, fca boHte imeli s pridobitvijo novega člsna in s tem, da boste prijatelju pomogli v eno najboljših brstskih organizacij, boste še w*mi nekaj zaslužili zraven. Kolikor je važno in potrebno, da ob prehodu iz atarega leta v 'nzno razmišljamo o tem, kar smo delali preteklo leto ter jami sebe strogo sodimo glede osebnih stvari, kar naj bi nam slu-v lastno dobro in napredek v bodoče, tako je toliko bolj Važno, '"to «torimo glede naše delavnosti v društvu in organizaciji Kajti kakor znano, ao imela naša društva baškar svoje J ovne letne aeje, na katerih je bilo sprejetih nešteto dobrih za-»iJučkov.

Torej je pred nami veliko déla, ki čaka agilnih članov in pridnih rok. Veliko prilike za koristno udejstvovanje v vrstah naše organizacije se nam nudi to leto. Poprimimo se ga s veseljem in pravo nam lastno energijo v trdni zaveati, da delamo zaeno zase in za najbolj dobro ip plemenito stvar, ko smo aktivni za jednoto !-r V. CAINKAR. gl. predsednik. Naš stenski koledar 7" F. A. VIDER, gl. tajnik £aša jed nota izdaja stenski koledar že mnogo let in bili amo prvi med našimi podpornimi organizacijami, ki smo istega pričeli izdajati v svrho reklame, katera se je brez dvoma dobro obneala do poslednjih časov, dokler je bil koledar poapbnost in «ne kakor dandanes, ko ga je lahko dobiti skoro v sleherni trgovini ali aalunu. Izvršni odbor je vedno gledal ter pazil pri naročanju stenskega koledarja, da bi izbral takega, ki bi zadovoljil veliko večino članstva organizacije. To se v vseh slučajih mogoče ni posrečilo, kar mora biti razumljivo, ako se vzame v poštev, da je v naši jednoti nad osemintrideset tisoč Članov v oddelku odraslih in da v mnogih ozirih nimata dva enega in istega okusa. Da je poleg tega problema treba gledati tudi na finančno stran, mora prianati vsakdo, ki hoče biti dosleden. Izdajanje koledarja za tako obsežno članstvo torej ni lahka stvar. Nekateri člani dajo mnogo na sliko koledarja, drugi se zanimajo samo-za koledar, to je za številke, ki značijo dneve, tretji za oboje, četrti za ličnost in umetnost itd. In kdo naj zadovolji vseT~^ .— - Naše koledarje smo poslednja leta opazili viaeti v prostorih, kamor niso spadali in kjer niso delali nobene reklame jednoti. Prejemali smo tudi pisma z opozorilom, če bomo izdajali vedno enake oblike koledarje, da jih temu ali onemu društvu ni treba veliko pošiljati, češ, da se jih je članstvo že naveličalo. Sedaj, ko je forma nekoliko spremenjena, pa zopet pri nekaterih nI zadovoljstva in mislijo, da organizacija, kot je naša, bi morala izdati koledar, s katerim bi se postavili, ne pa tako "revnega" kakor je letošnji. Ce bi se koledarji izdajali po bogastvu, potem bi jih morale bogate zavarovalne družbe izdajati v naj razkošnejši obliki. Pa poglejmo kaj izdajajo in koliko! Kritike v naši organizaciji so na mestu, ker verujemo v demokracijo in kar j^bilo do sedaj izraženega v listu glede letošnjega stenskega koledarja od ene ali druge strani, je bilo dostojno in tako je pravilno. Ce se bomo držali tega principa, smo lahko prepričani, da bomO mnogo več dosegli za našo organizacijo in s tem za svojo korist, kakor če bi se na primer po nepotrebnem gnjavili ali celo prepirali radi takih ali sllčnih vprašanj. Izvršni odbor je vednorpripravljen upoštevati želje in priporočila članstva, kolikor je to mogoče. Ker sem že pri stenskem koledarju, mogoče ne bo škodilo, ako člane seznanimo s finančno stranjo tega vprašanja, o katerem imajo nekateri napačne pojme, kar bi se dalo soditi po njih izjavah. Letošnji stenski koledar stane 9c kos, lanski je pa atal nekaj več, kar je zelo malo. Za devet centov ne moremo pričakovati kaj posebnega, pa če istega tudi izdamo v tisočerih izvodih. Letošnji veliki koledar stane 49c kos, prejšnji so pa stali od 60 do 82c koa s poštnino vred. « Devet centov za stenski koledar za organizacijo, kot je naša, boste mo^>če rekli, je res malo in se boste vprašali, zakaj M potrošimo več. Na posamezen koledar res nI veliko, toda, če število 35,600 pomnožite z 9, dobite vsoto $3,196.00 in če ti vsoti prištejemo še poštnino, ki znese približno cent za koledar, pa dobimo vsoto nad $3,500.00 za mali koledar in potem pride še veliki. Vprašanje za nas je samo eno, in sicer, aH se za našo organizacijo še izplača izdajati tako visoke vsote za koledarje -v dandanašnjih časih, ko je v tem oziru taka kompeticija? Ali bi ne bilo bolje in koristneje dotično vsoto obrniti v drugačno reklamo, recimo radio? Izvršni odbor kajpada lahko izda večje ter bogatejše atenske koledarje od letošnjega, toda za 9 ali lOc ne moremo dobiti ničesar boljšega, ker ponudbe so bile dane več drutbam, ki ae pečajo s te vrste delom ali trgovino in odločili smo se za ono, kar je bilo najcenejše. Sicer bo pa najbolje, da bo članstvo glede tega vprašanja odločilo In po želji članstva se bo v bodoče ravnalo. Leto 1940, bratje in sestre, je za nami. V prošlem letu je naša organizacija z vašo pomočjo ter aktivnostjo zopet beležila lep napredek v članstvu kakor tudi premoženju Za to vašo lojalno delavnost zaslužite vsi oni, ki ste na ta ali oni način pomagali do uspeha, priznanje in pohvalo, ki vam jo v imenu organizacije tu izrekam, kakor tudi vsem društvenim odbornikom, posebno pa tajnikom, s katerimi imamo največ poslovsnja, za prijazno sodelovanje ter kooperacijo. Upam in želim, da se bo to naše prijateljsko sodelovanje vršilo tudi v letu 1941. Na tem mestu izrekam tudi zahvalo vsem onim članom, ki so poslsli nešteta sezonska voščila In katerim se ni bilo mogoče osebno zahvaliti! Obod pri elektrarni ob jez« Grand ( oule* v Washington«.

Dec. 20, 1940, at the fist meeting of thia group held at the SND on John ft. This formal organization of the circle ww st the aame time a great yuletide gift both to the Detroit SNPJ Federation and the Society. And now we are ready tnd eager to tail on and on to. reach our common goal of success and to be listed in \the roster of our Juvenile Circles among tho active circles. The attendance due to very bad weather was rather small but the spirit was there. Representatives of the Fvderatipn were Bro. Korsic, Sis. Junko, Sis. Bogatay and the writer. The boys and girls who were present showed that they are very interested in the circle end certainly hsve tho only paper of its kind in the Slovene language—is not a small achievement ; cm the contrary, it is an epochal event not only in the modest history of our immigrants in America, but also in the history of Slovene public life generally. This fact must be recognized also by those who disagree with us in principle if they want to be sincere. Since the silver jubilee of our consistent freethbught and labor daily paper is a great event and a special occasion, it is proper that we so observe it. This shall be done. The Executive Committee of the SNPJ at its last meeting decided to issue the Prosveta in commemoration of its anniversary the week before July 1st, 1941, as an anniversary edition on at least 12 and not more than 20 pages. Besides the usual official eight-page weekly, the anniver- pep and spirit thai mean«, "Lookout sary supplement will be printed in photogravure on fine, jjp* taTeJ'JJb'? paper and will contain in word and picture a review of They elected their officers: Dorothy I the work and achievements of the daily Prosveta during EsJ1 its first 26 years (>f existence; the size of the supplement —four, eight or twelve pages—will depend on the amount of material we will be able to prepare. The anniversary supplement will also contain English articles. It is known to every SNPJ member that the daily Prosveta during the past 26 years has been the most effective agitator for our Society. For the past 15 years the Prosveta has had in its Wednesday edition also its English Section, which means that the English Section of the Prosveta hag today a fair number of regular contributors from among our younger generation; this is evidence that the Prosveta has succeeded exceedingly well with its agitation also among our youth. All this will be brought to the attention of our members and our public with our anniversary edition. The twenty-five years of the daily Prosveta have been a new era, and a special chapter in the history of our Slovenes in America—and it is not merely coincidence that this period actually marks half of the life of Slovene journalism in America. 1 ad everyone come up and enjoy yourself. Louie Kramer of the Pioneers challenged the Badgers to a bowling match game and I «m sure the Badger» won't let this lad unchallenged. (How about Sunday, Louis, before the card frarty?) The Badgere also received their trophy for winning the SNPJ Softball Championehip. But it ia a traveling trophy and must be won 3 time» in order to retain ownership. Cf)ga Marie Knapich, the correspondent for the Young Americans, was visiting the Zagar family in town tnd we were glad to make her acquaintance.

Our girls' team didn't fare as well as was expected, in losing out to the Jolly Juniors' girls of Sygan, but they promise to blast those pins into oblivion at the next tourney. The girls' team (Rite iBarilar, Elsie Klun, Anna Klun, Hose Fabec and Sylvia Fabec) were pitching their best, but those pins failed the fair ones,, and thus the girls had no luck. You'll get "the bacon" next time, girls! On Dec. 16, the Morning Stars' bowlers traveled to Export where the locals engaged the Marines in a return match, and the M. S.'s sunk the Gobs by 286 pins. Saturday afternoon, Jan. 11, will find the local Champs heading for 8haron to engage the Keystoners in a bowling match, and later attend tho Keystoners' dsnce in Sharon. Hope to see Rexek there. The tournament dance at Library was a real fun frolic and many thanks to the respective committee in securing Taffy's Domovina orchestra, a band that has everything. All the local members wjip attended were enthused over the melodious and lifting tunes and enappy polkas of Taffy's band. . About three carloads already have planned to be at Veronlans' dance on Jan. 26, where the same orchestra will play. Those going, sec Dan Fabec for tickets.

Following the dance we, to» gether with a crowd of Clvvelandors, visited the Rossa home where we continued the good time, until the wee hours of the morning. On Sunday we visited Louis and Betty Jarta, and there we talked about everything and listened to "Ballad, for America" played on the phonograph.

PROSVETA WEDNESDAY. JANUARY g ' i S.N.PJ. Sports Eighth Annual National SNPJ Duckpin Tournament UNIVERSAL. PA.—In both infer-est and attendance, Aha Eighth Annual National SNPJ Duckpin Tournament ic now recorded as the greatest and largeet affair of ita kind in SNPJ. This information strikes an encouraging not«, for it indicates not only mora intareet for future and eimilar tournaments, but also sarves to indicate increased activity in other endeavors of our Society. There wars a total of li2f tournament lines bowled, as compared with 1441 bowled a year ago. This shows an increase of 166 tournament lines, a steady and definite achievement. We're pleased to report that from the vary beginning of our promotion of duckpin tournaments, each succeeding one finished with some net gein. That is e healthy sign in any enterprise. Seventeen lodges from the states of Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania participated to make up the grend total. They are as follows, with the number of five-person teams listed according to the largest entries from each lodge: Universal Comets 7 IS—sis teams; Sygan Jolly Juniors 660 and Am-bridge Reveller* 600—five teems each; StrSbanc Pioneers 680, Verona Veronians 680, and Imperial Lucky Stare 716—three teams each; Claridge Ixxigv 7, Avella Lodge m, Pittsburgh Morning Stars 666, Library J-Z Jun. iors 682, Johnstown Friendly City 684, Harmarvllle Ramblers 718, an.! Sharon Keystoners 766 two team« eech; Detroit Young Americens 664, Girard Golden Eagles 648, and Ezport Marines 768—one team each. In ad-dition to these, Udge 118 of Pittsburgh entered one doubles' team. Of the total of seventeen lodges represented in the tournament, members from ten of those lodges figured in the awards that will be distributed. Below are the first two winners in eech event: Plve Man Tearnqft 1. Pittsburgh Morning Stars Lodge money to the winners just as soon as the scores have been recbecked and the standing of each winner ia determined in the Society. All checks will be mailed to the secretaries af the lodges to which the winners belong. Pollowing the bowling events, a successful dance was held in the Slovene Hall, Library, Pa. A capacity crowd that at least equalled any paet attendance at a similar affair was present. Even after a full New Year's Eve and Day, the people present enjoyed themselves to the fulleet. Taf-fy'e orchestra of Berfnrrton, Ohio, did a commendable job, and for proof aak all ¿hose who were there and had the ploaaure of dancing to his musie. On behalf of our Pederstion, I take pleasure in thanking ell those lodges and members who came and participated in the Tournament and Dance to make the Eighth Annual National SNPJ Duckpin Tournament a complete success. Particularly do we express our appreciation to the lodges and members who traveled a long distance to be among us, and to the Ped-eration Athletic Committee and their aides who worked so efficiently and energetically for a smooth functioning tournament. And to the Library J-Z Juniors Lodge 682 for their conscientious efforts In promoting a good dance successfully; and to the Prosveta staff, we are deeply grateful for their willing cooperation. HighHghte Prom out Michigan way, the five Young Americane mentioned earlier proved ideal fraternaliata. Prank Hri-bar left early to return in time for the U. S. Army on Priday. He will be missed.

They made a hit with ihe|of ^ •«knock-'ero-down-drag-'em-oiU meddling tor foreign politics. We American people should wake up and quit dreaming. The war 1* at our door and aa usual we will not be prepared. One man is not good enough to impose on another, neither ia one nation good enough to nrle another. Hiatory will prove that again. Let America be at peace. We can do more good in patching up Europe than we can helping to lake it apart. Let us be the beacon of the world inetead of plunging into the darkneae that covers so much of the world now. ^ ANNE A. SVAZIOH. (Editor's Note: Senator Wheeler want* a "negotiated peace" which means a dictated peace based on appeasement, the kind of "peace" Czechoslovakia and other countries received from Hitler, America would be blundering indeed, if it hadnt learned anything from recent eventa abroad. It was through appeasement and treachery aa well as by the breaking of non-aggreesion pacta that Hitler was able to enalave Europe. Therefore, it ia up to America to give England all poesible aid to keep thaaggresaors from our shores and to break their power.

Wheeler of Montana, I greatly appreciated It as I bailee any true American would. We all helteve that the Preeident could engineer a Just peace. Instead, he ia neatly paving the way to war. We Americana have ahawn faith in him by electing him to a third term mainly becsuae of his promise to keep us out of war. Now the edges of that promtae are wearing off. The majority of our people oppose aiding Britain without security. Brit-iih pe.pl» have conveniently forgotten the aid given them in World War 1. Well, a lot of us have net. whoever reard bf loaning armament* before? It Is Jefct a* convenient to forge*, returning them aa it Is mon-♦y, isn't It? Also turning over for* eign afhips in oar ports to England would bring us mighty eloee to war, too cloee fnr most people. On '41 SNPJ Calendars TRINIDAD, COLO.—Just a letter about the new 1041 SNPJ calendara. Our members are certainly dis. appointed about the calendars for the new year. For a society of the kind they are certainly cheap looking; the ones that we have had In previous years are better looking by a long ahot, compared to the ones 'We have this year. Wa almost need a magnifying glass to see the datee. If we happened to write up any new members this year, I don't ¿hink I would show them the calendar the society put out this year. They are just the thing that some bachelor would get from some individual store that can't afford an awful lot for calendara, and I must say they would be Ju«t the .thing to hang up In some bachelor's home, as they would match the houae keeping very well. I think wa need a new committee thia year to decide on some nice neat looking calendar for a society of this kind, and this large. For Instance, take the Western Slovanic Associa tion, which gave really a nice calendar! you can at least read the numbers on them, and that la more than we can do on the SNPJ calen dare for tnis year. For an organise tion of this kind and this large, 1 dare say that the committee ha* decided on a vary, very poor calendar. How about the committee deciding a neat looking calendar for 1042? Let us pick out something a little more appropriate for this society for next year. And new member* who saw thia calendar would really think that this society can't be very large when they put out a calendar like this one. IT we can't decide on anything nicer let's have the same one we have been having up until this yeeri they are a groat deal more preaentable, anyway. If wa don't have anything nicer next year you ran count on hearing from me again next year.

We wish you all the success ia the world. It means snother city has awakened very well considering the fact that they are ten pin bowlers. The Young American team really did win a prise for bowling, although many De-.troiters think the team received the price for being the only team to travel the longeet distance to enter the tournament.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.—Mary Jugg, in the Dec. 18 issue of Prosveta, has much to ssy concerning conditions in Ruasla. She cites several books, etat-ing that anyone falling to read them and "still prattling about the sun that is rising in the east" must be stamped as an "Irresponsible." She further states that "living standards are worse than under the Tsars" and that Russia "has returned to a state of barbarism."- No one haa to read F. Utley's book to learn of terror, horror, ate., In the U.S&R. Haven't our daily newspapers been doing a good job of that for the past twenty years? Paul Robeson, the great negro baas, lived in Russia for nine years, covering all parte of the country in extensive concert tours, and has nothing but praiae for Ruasia. Ia he an irresponsible? Or H. O. Wells who stated over the "Town Meeting of the Air" recently that for the peace of the world it is absolutely necessary that there- be closer cooperation be. tween the U. S. A. and the U. S. 6. R. Rockwell Kent, tho American artist, adyocates closer cooperation. Irresponsible too? Is G. B. Shaw who blames England's non-cooperation with Russia aa the cause of her present predicament an irresponsible too? Or Vlihjalmur Stefanason, the great arctic explorer, who on his recent return from Alaska, aaked that our "good neighbor" policy be extended to include Russia? Would you Include aa an irresponsible the late Lincoln Stef. fens, one of America's greateet reporters who, coming back from a visit to Russia, said, "I have seen the future, and it works?" Or Charles S. Soely, Lieut Commander of the U. S. Navy, retired, who says that he was abb to observe 2,000,000 Russians at else range and that "there is an air of satisfaction and contentment about them that makes a visitor envious." What about General Graves, who led the American Siberian forces in Russia during the intervention period efter the Worid War and who was a staunch defender of Russia until his death last spring? Shall we also Include as irresponsible Corliss Lamont, Theodore Dreiser, Prof. Hanson, the American horticulturist—but why go on? ' ^ Haven't the Hoares, Cliveden*, Hall-faxes, Hearata, Howards, the leaden of France who sold their country into Fsscism, also said that Russia was a barbarous nation? Are they concerned with the Interests of the common people? The Russian leaders no doubt may havs made mietakes. But the Rev. Hewlett Johneon, Dean of Canterbury In his book, "The Soviet Power," says that the defects of the Russian experiment have been over-emphasised end concentrated tfpon, while the "massive morel and material achievements" have been ignored. Stefanason says that the U. S. »hould adopt the soviet icebreaker as "the only one In the world for all year round usage." Is this barbarism? Serge Prokopieff left Russia in 1018 and returned In 1086. He haa lived since In his native bind. Did Russian barbarism induce blm to return to Russia, and help him in eompoeiag "Peter and the Wolf?" Moscow's 41 kiloasoter subway ia the moat beautiful In the world. The Milwaukee Journal Roto Art Section carried pictures of It several weeks ago. Did Serial barbarism be I Id thia? Enormous editions of Pushkin. Shakeapeare. Balaac. Heine, Goethe, Dickens, Gorky, Mark Twain, Tolstoy and others are published and dutr%. uted ip the Soviot Union.

Shek'e article in the Dec. 21 issue 0f Liberty. If Ruaaia haa aecompluhs* these things and many more as bar. barians, what may we expect wh« they become civilised? Seely says that the "overwhelmmt majority of. Russian people are happy and contented for tho simple reason thai they are much better off und«r the present system than under th« old regime." By all means read the books Mary Jugg suggests, but alw read Rev. Hewlett Johnson'* "The Soviet Power" and Lieut Com. Char-les S. Seely's "Russia and the Approach of Armageddon" and decide for yourself if therd Is any hope for the Russian future. PRANK OBLUCK, Lodge 684.
