Apel za pomoč stari domovini ROJAKOM IN ROJAKINJAM SIROM AMERIKEI Kakor vam je znano, je ie več kot tri leta in pol. odkar )• kruti naxi-fašistični sovražnik kriminalno napadel Jugoslavijo ter brezobzirno podjarmil in zasužnjil ondotna ljudstva. Strašna irtav podivjanosti in vandalizma ter krvavega nasilja j« zlasti postalo slovensko ljudstvo. Čilali ste, kako je sovražnik z gorostasno silo ognja in jekla vdrl v naše rojstne kraje, razbil in razdejal mlado državo Slo vencev. Hrvatov in Srbov. Takoj je aačel s svojim lerorjem in pokončevalnlm delom, ter kmalu izpramanil našo lepo in mirno alaro domovino v pravi pekel. Via od začetka pa do danes bras obzirno ropa. mori, požiga in pustoši po naiich krajih in nasilstev mučenj ter strašnih krivic in grozodejcev ni konca ne kraja. Ameriški Slovenci smo se zavedali takoj spočetka, da bo tc VELIKA KATASTROFA ZA NAŠO STARO DOMOVINO. Ir daai nismo tedaj zdaleka niti sanjali, da bo napadalec tako brei obziren in zverinski v ubijanju in pokončavanju. ler da se bo tc krvološlvo razvilo v tako strašne posledice in trajalo tako dolgo smo vendar začutili že tedaj, da bo naše ljudstvo najbolj nesrečni žrtev v tem tragičnem konfliktu izmed vseh prizadetih ljudstev na svetu, ter da bo moralo prositi pomoči od zunaj. Zavedali smr se dalje, da bo Slovenija klicala na pomoč predvsem svoje bol)š< situirane sinove in hčere v daljni Ameriki, ter da je našn posebni dolžnost, da jim jo damo. kolikor največ moremo. Zato so se 19. aprila 1941 v Chicagu zbrali zastopniki naših centraliziranih organizacij, da položijo čvrst temelj pomožni akcl ji za najbednejše. in to v trdnem upanju, da ta naša akcija doseli ■voj namen, da doseže najpotrebnejše rojake v starem kraju bre rezllke. kaj so in kdo so, da jih doseže brez ovir in diskrlmlnacl čim prej bo to fizično mogoče. V trdni veri. da bo ta svetovna kriza končana z zmago demo kracije in da bodo štiri svobode, ki jih je postavil naš predaednll Franklin D.

Dewey, pred-sedniški kandidat republikanske stranke, je pohvalil delo r eprezentantov štirih velesil — Amerike, Velike Britanije, Rusije m Kitajske — na konferenci v Wu shingtonu. Dewey je dejal, ilii ao se rep-rezentantje teh držav lotili velike naloge, zaeno pa je izra/il upanje, da bodo uspeli. Ta naloga je zgraditev temeljev v svetovni organizaciji /.a vzdrževanje in zaščito miru v povojni dobi in preprečenje tretje svetovne vojne.

Uradno naznanilo pravi, da sta Stalin in Churchill ie imela prvi raagovor. Konference sta se udeležila tudi Eden in Molo-tov. Churchill je po prihodu v Moskvo dejal: "Prišel sem v Moskvo na valovih upanja in gotovosti, da bo zmaga kmalu izvojevana. Ko ae bo to zgodilo, bomo skušali zgraditi podlago boljšemu svetu in življenju ljudstev. Rdeča armada je bilu prva, ki je zadala taš-ke udarce nemški milltarlstlčnl mašlni. Zvtza držav brltskaga Imperija in Amerika sta tudi vrgli vso razpoložljivo silo v boj proti sovražniku. Vi lahko sodite, ali je ta zadala taška udaroa sovražniku ali ne." Razgovori med Churchillom ln Stalinom v Moskvi so prvi od konference v Teheranu, Partija, ki se je vršila v novambru pr»-teklega leta. Volilna kampanja v Ameriki se omenja kot virok, da predsednik Roosevelt nI dospel v Moskvo. Amerlkn bo re-prezentiral na moskovski konferenci poslanik W. Averall Hsr-riman.

Potreba je ogromna in prva pomoč zelo nujna. Zato prosi postojanka št. 4 vse rojake in rojakinje v Sheboyganu in okolici, da zberejo čim več obleke in o-butve, ali stare, posteljno perilo, odeje itd. ter naj prinesejo v tednu od 15. do 21. oktobra v Slovensko šolo. Član odbora bo vsak dan v šoli od 12. do 0. ure popoldne, da bo vsakoga vpisal, kdor bo daroval. Kdor ima več obleke, tako da mu ni mogoče prinesti, ta naj pokliče enega sledečih: Frank Rcmšak, Martin Jelene ali Anton Debevc, da pride iskat na vaš dom. Proaimo vse rojake in rojakinje, da vsak daruje kolikor mogoče. Vsak komad bo dobrodošel, pa naj bo otroško perilo, moške obleke ali ženske reči. Potrebno pa je, da je vsak kos vsaj v toliko dobrem stanu, da bo še za obleči. Predvsem pa se prosi vsakogar, da perilo dostavi čisto in oprano, ni pa potrebno, da bi bilo zlikano.

In Charlea Zakely v Cleveland* Seja glavnega odbora JP0-$S 19. septembra 1944 (Nadaljevunje in konec.) Direktor publicitete poroča, da je pisal članka, kutere ste val čitali. Nadalje pravi, du nismo toliko napredovull, kot se Je pričakovalo, kajti imamo med Slovenci v Ameriki neprijatelj«, ki zanašajo vesti meti naše ljudi po naaalbinah, kl niso nuklonjene našemu delu. Tuko je bilo priobčeno v nekem slovenskem časopisu, du se namerava izročiti denar JPO-98 "komunistom" v Jugoslaviji, kur ne odgovarja resnici. l.oui* Adamič, ko je govoril o novem skupnem pomožnem odboru ZOJA\, je povdaril, du ves denar, kl Je bil nabran pri Slovencih v Ameriki, bo poslun le Slovencem v domovini. Poročilo direktorja publicitete se sprejme. F. J. VVedic poroča, du smo bili srdu i mulo bolj počasni pri pomožni akciji, ker so se Slovenci bolj udejstvovali pri SANSu. V nedeljo imamo sejo v Jolictu, kjer se bomo domenili in zopet .pričeli z delom, kar se bllžu čus, du bomo kmulu lahko pomagali na-šim ljudem v domovini. \ Poročilo se vzame nu znanje. Joseph Ine Krjavec podu svoje poročilo, du je delulu in bo tudi v bodoče tako. Povdarja, du moramo mi sumi deliti dunur, kute-lega smo mi nubruli. Govori nuduljv glede nabiranju obleke, ku-tei o bomo posluli v domovino. Poročilo se vzame na znunje. f Josephine Zukrajšek poroča, kuko so se ženske v Clevelandu že organiziianc v tri skupine, da bodo nubli-ulc, šivale in pripravljalo obleko, katero bodo pozneje poslale v domovino, ko dobe navodila, kako se more pošiljati. Pruvl, du obleka mora biti vsa čista in opiuna, ker drugače se je ne more poslati. Sture čevlje ln klobuke nI potreba nabirati, ker se jih radi sanltarnostl ne more pošiljati preko morja. To skušnjo so Imeli prt Ruskem pomožnem odboru, Tudi noguvice morajo biti nove, Poročilo se vzame na znpnje. Tajnik poroča, du bodo imeli v Jolictu v nedeljo sejo, kjer bodo določili, da se oddu skupni preostanek od slavnostl 50-letnlce KSKJ, kar znaša okoli $1200.00, v glavno blagajno JPO-SS. Piedsednlk se zahvali Jolletskemu odboru za tuko velik dar. Nato se r uzvilc razora va glede bodočnosti JPO-H8. Soglaano je bilo sklenjeno, da ves do soda) nabrani denar, kakor tudi ves denar, ki bo v bodoče pri JPO-HH nabran, ostane pod nadzorstvom ln kontrolo JPO-SS. Naša pomožna ukci|a le bila ustunuvljenu po piodstuvnikih slovenskih bi ulitkih oiguni/ucij in Je torej slo-venska pomožna akcija. Denar, ki gu zbiramo, Je v smislu naših izjav ln pravil, na podlagi kuterih smo vodili ugitucijo, namenjen slovenskemu narodu, In Jl'O-88 motu sum deliti ter gledutl ln skibetl, da pride v pomoč onim, za kutere je nabran, vsled česar iiušu pomožna akcija ostane samostojnu, kakor Je bila do sedaj. Kar se pa tiče pošiljanju obiske v staro domovino, je bilo sklonjeno, ker ima ZOJSA sedaj tudi dovoljenje za razpečevanje blagu, zato naj se odbor ZOJSA naprosi, du bi sc nam dovolilo posluževati ae njih permita za pošiljanj« in ruzpečevanje obleke našemu narodu v stari domovini. Kuzpečavanje blaga st* ima vršiti pod nadzorstvom JPO-SS. Predsednik zaključi dopoldansko sejo ob dvanajsti url. Popoldansko sejo otvot I predsednik ob eni popoldne.

Lavrodale Ave^ Chicago 23, Illipoto MEMBER OP THE PEDEBATED PRESS Glasovi iz naselbin ..u Vprašanje ljudskega zdravja Amerika je dežela, kjer je vprašanje ljudskega zdravja prepu ščeno posamezniku. Če bi bili vsi ljudje gospodarsko dovolj do-bio situirani, da bi si vsaka družina, vsak posameznik lahko privoščil dobro zdravniško oskrbo v slučaju potrebe, bi sedanji sistem javnega zdravja ne bil napačen. Ampak dejstvo je, da je komaj okrog 20 do 30 odstotkov ljudi toliko dobro situiranih, da si lahko privoščijo zdravnika in bolnišnico, kadar pride bolezen. Velika večina ljudi si tgjs ne more ptivoščiti. Razume se, da v to skupino spadajo skoraj vse delav ske in v pretežni večini tudi farmarske družine. Dobro zdravniško oskrbo *i lahko privoščijo le bogati sloji, trgovci (ne vsi) in bolj« plačani profesionisti. Kateri družinski oče zasluži manj kot $2500 na leto, mu bo bolj malo ostalo za zdravnike. In teh,delavcev je ogromna večina. Posledice teh razmer so, da je velik del ameriškega prebivalstva na slabšem, kar se javnega zdravja tiče, kot pa jaJ&ilo delovno ljudstvo pred to vojno v tej ali oni veliko revnejši evropski državi Skoraj po vsej Evropi si je delavstvo, ker je bilo pouiično orga nizirano, izvojevalo sistem bolniškega zavarovanja—tako zvane bratovske skladnice. Ta sistem seveda nl bil najboljši, toda je bf boljši kot nič. V Belgiji je na primer zadružno gibanje tudi vzdr ževalo lastne bolnišnice za svoje člane—v zameno za ^plačevanje zadružnih popustov. Največji napredek ha polju javnega zdravja je bil v Nemčiji, škandinavskih državah jn ČehoslovakijL Tudi angleška vlada je po zadnji vojni upeljala nekak sistem za skrb javnega zdravja. Amerika je edina industrijska dežela, ki se tega problema še n lotila. Pred obema zbornicama kongresa se sicer nahaja že pd lani dober načrt za splošno zavarovanje za slučaj bolezni, ampak bo najbrže preteklo še veliko vode, lahko tudi veliko let, predno bo sprejet, ker nasprotujejo mu močne sile. Najbolj krčevito mu nasprotuje reakcionarna Ameriška zdravniška zveza, kateri je vi šek zdravniškega poklica—kovanje čim več denarja po zdravnikih Za javno zdravje se v resnici ne briga, marveč le za privatni profit na račun bolnikov. Ta zveza je po vseh državah zakonito etabli rana saprta delavnica zdravnikov. Komur odreče aH vzame zdrav niško diplomo, sploh ne more prakticirati v tem poklicu. Nobena raketirska ali bizniška unija ni tako močno zasidrana kot je zdravniška zveza. Na sličnem prsvcu poslujejo tudi vse privatne bolnišnice. Predno vzamejo bolnika v zdravljenje, mora navadno vnaprej plačati, vssj pa upravo ali zdravnika zagotoviti, da bo račun sigurno plačan. Če ni tega zagotovila, bolnik ne bo sprejet, pa čeprav umre na pragu bolnišnice. In če človek ni dovolj reven, da bi bil sprejet v okrajno bolnišnico na občinske stroške, se lahko prav to zgodi. Ampak okrajne bolnišnice je najti le v velemestih, ne na deželi ali v manjših mestih. V tej deželi je tudi ta paradoks, du je zdravniška oskrba na razpolago le bogatinom in bolje situiramm slojem, ki lahko plačajo zanjo, ter najbolj revnim slojem v velemestih, katerim so namenjene občinske bolnišnice. Težje pa si jo privoščijo Uroki delavski in farmarski sloji, in tudi nižji srednji sloj, ki sicer ne stradajo, toda njih dohodki niso dovolj veliki, da ne bi bili v škripcih, ako in kadar pride bolezen, nosebno daljša bolezen in drage operacije. In tako je velika večina ameriškega prebivalstvs povsem nepreskrbljena za slučaj bolezni. Posebno se ta socialni nedostatek ali pioblem občuti v časih gospodarske depresije. V letih velike depresije pred t«i vojno so bile nu primer privatne bolnišnice—teh je ogromnu večina—napol prazne, večina zdruvnikov l/T zobozdravnikov v škripcih radi slubegu biznisa, dasi je bilo milijone ljudi bolnih. Velika pomoč s tem v zvezi so seveda take podporne organizacije kot je SNPJ, ki članom nudijo vsaj nekaj pomoči v slučaju bolezni. Članu, ki je zavarovun za bolniško podporo in operacijsko odškodnino, zdravnik ne bo rekel, da ga ne bo zdravil in tudi bolnišnica mu ne bo zaprla vrata. Ampak v slučaju resne bolezni Ja taka zavarovalnina le za prvo silo. Za reševanje Javnega zdravja bo v resnici potrebno neksj več, in podporne organizacije lahko veliko pomsgajo. Kako in kdaj bo dežela redila ta problem, je veliko vprašanje. Do danet. ne ga sploh še nl dotaknila in tudi ni izgledov, da se ga bo lotila v bližnji bodočnosti. Najuspešnejše ln najceneje bi ga bilo seveda mogoče rešiti s splošnim zavarovanjem za zdravniško oskrbo, kot to na primer predvideva prej omenjeni \Vagner-Din gellov zakonski načrt. Ampak na eni strani stoje proti taki rešitvi tega problema mogočne butbonske sile ameriškega kapitalizma—Ameriška zdravni ika zveza, organizacije velikega in malega biznisa ln,,na splošno tudi cerkvene ustanove, ki iščejo in prakticirajo "reševanje duš" / versko dobrodelnostjo. In "charity,M posebno verskega kova je v Ameriki velebiznis, ki *e hoče za vsako ceno ohraniti in čim bolj razšli iti Dobrodelnost je v obstoječi družbi seveda potrebna, toda rešitev revščine je v odpravi revščine' „ Na diugi strani hodu negirale uvedbo socislne medirfhe s splošnim za valovanjem posledice sedanje vojne: ogromen narodni dolg in grozeč« stalno militariztranje debele Oboje bo ftrlo visoke davke To t>omeni. da /a javno zdravje v obliki socialne medicine ne bo denarja, kakor tudi za marsikaj drugega ne pod sedanjim sistemom Izboljšanje in ra/tegnitev »ocialhe zaščite tudi na polje javnega zdravja bo mogoč«' le. uko dežela ne postane suženj* zelo dragi ga in pogubnega militarizma Morale bodo seveda priti tudi druge fundamentalne gospodarske reforme, ki bodo omogočale maksimalno produkcijo družnici št. 15 SANSa, da to storite na omenjeni seji in postanete član podružnice in ^o pričnete delovati za naše zatirane rojake v Jugoslaviji.

Čikaška federacija društev SNPJ proslavlja 40-letnico SNPJ v nedeljo, 29. oktobra, ob treh popoldne v dvorani SNPJ na 27. in Lawn-dale Ave. Štirideset let je poteklo, odkar se je rodila naša mati Slovenska narodna podporna jed-nota. Na SNPJ smo lahko ponosni vsi Slovenci v Ameriki, kajti ona je največja in najboljša podporna organizacija med Slovenci in še vedno raste in raste, v premoženju in številu članstva. SNPJ je priskočila na pomoč tisočim in tisočim članom in članicam, to ie v času bolezni in smrti ali pa tudi tedaj, ko se je članstvo nahajalo v kritičnih razmerah. Hvaležni moramo biti onim članom, ki so ustanovili to ogromno in koristno organizacijo. Gledati moramo, da bo organizacija uspevala tudi v bodočnosti. Vabim vse Čikažane in iz o-kolice, da se gotovo udeleže te pomembne prireditve. Program bomo imeli zelo pester, kajti nastopila bo tudi slovita pevka Zinka Milanova, katera je članica Metropolitanske opere v New Yorku. Tako pevko po božji volji, bi moral vsakdo slišati. Na programu bo tudi več drugih zanimivih točk. Po programu bo zabava v spodnji dvorani, v zgornji pa ples, za katerega bo igral orkester Raya Rodmana. Servirana bo okusna večerja, pa tudi pijače ne bo manjkalo. Ob tej priliki bodo imeli naši stari pionirji zopet priliko malo se pogovoriti, kako in kaj smo delali za našo jednoto. Torej na svidenje v nedeljo, 29. oktobra! Vstopnice so samo po 75 centov.

Bratu Maglichu gre vse priznanje, ker vrši dobro delo med mladino in je zelo aktiven pri angleški federaciji društev SNPJ ter za njo žrtvuje veliko energije in Časa. Filip Godina pa je govoril o zgodovini SNPJ in njenem razmahu. Dobro je orisal težave, ki jih je imela naša organizacija zlasti od kraja. Navzlic temu, da je jednota vedno zastopala svobodomiselna načala, je zrastla v največjo in najbdlj u-gledno podporno organizacijo med ameriškimi Slovenci. Da je slavnost tako lejso izpadla, gre v prvi vrsti zasluga odbo-ma obeh društev. Da bi videli, kako so vrle članice našega gospodinjskega odseka hitele in požrtvovalno vršile svoje delo!

Pohitimo vsi na proslavo in pripeljimo s seboj tudi svoje prijatelje in znance. Pripravljalni odbor bo vse najlepše postregel, kolikor je pač možno v teh razmerah. Prosim, da se članstvo in odborniki društev, ki so prejeli vstopnice za proslsvo, potrudijo in jih čim več razprodajo, tako da bo že v naprej zagotovljen usj>eh, a neprodane pa naj vrnejo na dan proslave podpisanemu, ali pa jih pošljejo na nje gov naslov: Louis Pavlinich. R 1, Box 52, Bellaire, O. Torej, na gotovo svidenje! Louis Psvllnlch. tajnik federacije. 40-LETNICA SNPJ V BRIDGEPORTU Windaor H te.. W.

The consumer cooperative movement was first organized in Rochdale, England, in 1844. During the first hundred years, the cooperatives have built a membership of more than one hundred million members in 39 countries. The movement spread rapidly to other sections of England and is today Brit-ain's largest distributive business, serving nine million members with a billion and a half dollars worth of goods and services per year. In the democratic European countries the cooperatives were serving one-fourth of the people before the war. In Sweden, the cooperatives are a basic part of Sweden's famous "Middle Way," and in our own Slovenia the cooperative movement reached high proportions. VVhat about the United States? The public at large is not aware of the rapid growth of U.S. cooperatives in the past few years. Already two and a half million families are buying $700,050,000 worth of goods and services thrugh their cooperatives each year. Among the most important cooperative enterprises are .those in food dis-tribution, petroleum products, farm supplies, Insurance, health service, housing, campus cooperatives, rural electrification and čred it. Among these are also several Slovene cooperatives—in Cleveland, Waukegan, Strabane. Moreover, in recent years the cooperatives have gone from retall and wholessle dlstribution into production. The cooperatives today own ten oil refineries, a thousand miles of pipelines and 300 oil wells in five states, also feed mills and fertilizer factories, farm machinery factories, lumber mills and printing plants. Since the last cooperative congress two years ago the cooperatives have purchased 20 million dollars' worth of factories, mills, and refineries. Important questions fadng the Centennial Congress are plans for expansion into new fields in the postwar period, post-war aid to cooperatives in war-devastated areas, and ettablish-ment of more adequate machinery for International trade among the cooperatives of the world at the close of the w*r. Community and IVar Fund Drive We are ln the mldst of a huge national campalgn to ralse urgently needed funds for war-related agencles here and abroad, and each and cvery one of us is asked to contribute to this worthy cause. Voluntecr artnies of thousands of roan and women through out the countfy are engaged in the task of raislng $225,000,000 for the Community and War Fund campalgn, the,quota for the Chicago area being $12,080,000, The campalgn for the Community and War Fund started last week and will close on November 15. Hundreds of rallles are being conducted in aH parta of the country to ralse the speci-fied sum of money and there is no question that the goal will be reached within the prescrlbed time, but not without tha help of each one of us. This is a united campalgn ln which people of aH races and creeds and people of every national origin joln hands to ralse urgently needed funds for various war-related agencles. It is well to know that aH local, national as well as oversaas relief agencies will benefit thercby. Such worthy organizations as War Prisoners Aid, United Seamen's Service, U.S.O. and every recognized war relief and refugee relief organization operatlng behind the battle fronts ln Europe and Asia, and in ali the libcrstcd areas where hundreds of thousands of destitute and war-stricken men, women and children need help. Local Communlty and War Fund committees throughout the country are conducting drlves in factories, plants and buslhess fii ms to raise the assigned quotas. We must remember that local health and welfaie agencies in our cities as well as ovcr-seas agencies will shsre in the fund. The 1944 Community and War Fund campalgn is being conducted in evcry clty, town and vlllage, and in ali farming communities. It is s nation-wide campalgn and lt is our duty to contribute our share towards this worthy cause. Lat us see to it thst our locsl quotas will be reached and surpaaaad. Strabane Pione«rs STRABANE.

LOTRICB CHICAGO,—The Pioneers need to initiate only nine more new members in October and November to run their campaign total to 100. Since we have done so well thus far, we urge our members to give us this additional help to reach this total. This figure should enable us to carry away first plače honors for the largest number of new members secured during this campalgn, again. During the past few days we have given out" campaigner, Mary Udo-vich, a list ot names whlch proved helpful and profitable for—she has since brought ln several more ap-plicatlons. We eicpect to make up one more list before the close of the campaign, the fifth of its kind, aH of which have proved worthwhile. We want that 100 total before the end of November. In bowling this week, five of our girls showed up with good gamos as follows: Marge Kochevar 180, Anne Kochevar 187, Anne Zlmmer 171, Sophle Svoboda 183, and Helen Winter 150. AJ1 of the sponsors have now been gotten. For the girli it will be the Kollar Florists; Vlctcri-ans, Sykora Furrlers and Dr. I. J.

The Kolar team which is now in the. lead, is made up of the followlng bowlers: Anne Kochevar, Mae Groser, Mary Ruzich. Marge Bozicnik, and Marge Kochevar.

Louis and Dolores Ivanshick of Mil-waukee, a popular profession ju-venHe dance team, have been booked for this program and we have received assurance that they will bc here. This Is a final reminder that aH the greeting ads must be in by October 20 so as to appear in the program book.—A fine crew of 40 Pioneers helped in the prepa ration of Xmas parcela for the Pioneer* in service last Friday night at the Center.' As a result of such fine help, the job is half completed. The rest of the job wHl be tackled Thursday, October 12. also at the Center.—While we are on the sub-ject, let us report that additional subseriptions were sold and reported during the week as follows: Frank Lotrich 51, Marge Kochevar 30, Fred Svoboda 25. Sylvia Bozicnik 12, Leroy Basha 10, Frank Zvo- 5el 10, Elvira Skavich 10. and Lee achino 10. Frank Lotrich passed out 200 more of these tickets. This Sunday, October 15. the writer will be in New York City to participate in the 40th annlversary celebration of our units there. From the program we note that Anton Subelj wlll headline the musical ■eetion. Other good acts will be rendered. It will give me the op-portunity to mix with some of our aetive SNPJers in that great metro-polis,—A note from Jennie Yasbec gives us Edwin's new address and contributes something for "our serv-icemen'8 benefit. Edwin is stili with the Fighter Control Squadron in the Southwest Pacific.—And a note from Mary Hougen relates that the students and faculty are back at Be-rea and is happy to know that the Pioneers are doing such a splendid piece of work, and winds up with the thought that "the girls are shin-ing now."—We have taken Fred Grichnik off of the slck list Al-though he is not entirely well, he is able to get around and do some work. We stili have John Soško on the slck list and that feHow Ed Drasler who now lives in Vancou-ver, Wash. It would be niee lf we could make a trip to sce him 'way out there^ . .. , . ,,«• One of the best pieces of Work on the present political campaign comes from Brigadier General H. C. Holdridge, retired, He relates ln "The Call" what the DemOcrats and the Republicans propose to do on such matters as reconversion of In-dustry, surplus war supplies and unemployment, and compares lt wlth the Socialist program and thus explains why he as an independent (is for the Socialist program. The facts are so plain and clear in his | whole address to the boys overseas. i for that's what lt really was In-| tended. that we would like to pre-seribe it as a "must" piece of political literature for the present campaign. Somehow, we would like to ask the editor of Prosveta to re-print the speech of this Brigadier General who has betfi retired duf-ing the period of this war.—Many experta who predieted the termina-tion of the war in Europe by October 1 now find that they are not experts at aH.

A new record was set when 258 juveniles and 156 adults (in-cluding 96 juvenile transfers) were admitted into both depart-ments of the Society. This was the first time in six months of the campaign that the 400 mark was reached and surpassed AH indications now point to two very successful closing months. Undoubtedly, ali previous records for a similar period will be broken. Three more of our aetive campaigners have joined the "select" group of contestants who have qualified for a special award. They are Mika Baloh, SecreUry of Lodge 7, Claridge, Pa., Joseph Fritj, Secretary of Lodge 234, Milwaukee, Wis., and Mary Rodina. Treasurer of Lodge 690, Kansas City, Kansas ...

Many of them do Sol seem to be ^are of what th« Gernians have done to Europe or consider what they have heard to be just propaganda.

Mowrer correctly concludes that the final fiRures are "aimost certain" to be even black^r.

N. Y.—The New York Slovene Committee of * War Relief Fund of Americans of South 81avic Descent has opened a store at 665 Seneca Ave., corner Gates Ave., Brooklyn, N.

The store will be open each day from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. to receive clothinR and ia under the supervi-sion of the women division. The committee has enrolled upward of 50 women to assist them in keepinR the store open, to mend clothes and sort them into pt^oper cateRories. Appeal is made to ali Slovenes in Greater New York to brinR the clothes to the store. He who Rives quickly Rives doublyI Donations made to this committee in one week were larRer than those obtained since 1941 to date for JPO-SS. Total of 74 have donated $646.55. It will be noted that less than 4% of the money donated was aarmarked for Slovenia. The mai-ority realized that Slovenes are scattered ali over JuRoslavia and that they are in an as Rreat need as those home in Slovenia. (Ed. note: Names of persons on committees alonR with names of donors and sums donated will be printed next week.) A Rood start has been made. Another public meetinR on Relief to JuRoslavia and on collection of clothinR will be held at 10 a. m. Sunday, Oct. 15. in the Slovene church hali.

Ma-ny members teci that the initiative ia not drastlc cnough. It ia useless to hope that the convention vvill decrease the delegation, and he agrees with recommendation tha't the Society »hali pay only travt hng expensea. We have the right to elect 6 or 7 members who vvould go over the reeom-mendations from the »upreme office and membership pnor to the convention, from vvhich they would prepare a plan for our approval or amend-ment which we would aupport at the convention. Maglich ia against the initiative. He thinka it wrong to state that 200 delegate« can do the work of 300 btcause by this logic we could say that 100 can do the vvork of 200, or 10 the work of 100— or in other wordi, why »end anyone to the convention when everythlng can be done by Brother Cainkar! Ferhapa the convention fund ia »hort, but various iU(ms were pald from thia fund In-ttuud of some other. Why could prlnting of by-lavvs not be paid from adminiatrative fund? As Bro. Vider ha« explained, the deficit in convention fund can be covered by transfer from another fund. He b not for a ateamroller convention, but definitely for a streamltned convention. Kuhe! g i ves figures and compares traveling ex-penses of the last convention with the consider-ably higher expensos for the next convention. Al-though the delegation at the last convention was con»tantly reminded of the cost of every moment of Umo taken, it did not help to end the convention sooner. He is for limited expenses, but is against taking the right of representation from small lodgts. It is proper that we prepare a plan to brtng before the next convention. He recom-menda further that the supreme board takes stepa to retmburse the convention fund for cost of S8PZ delegation at the last convention; this should be puid fiom administrative fund. Barbic is in favor of postponing the convention and is sure this can be done. Seven supreme offi-cers are missing hero today—what will it be next year if conditions are the same? We are making plana hero, without knowing what will be. Transportation to Eveleth will be very complicated, if thmgs do not happen to improve. Vidrich motion to close debate is seconded and carried. Vratarich state« he was surprised U) hear Uro. Vider report that technical corredbjns were made uit initiative of lodge 21. becaus^Uch corrections W( re declared impoasible when his lodge had an initiative. It uppears that Garden ia alone, as the esecutlve corr.mlttee is afraid to take a deflnite Ktond. He ugrees that ali committee* should.be olectod prior to the convention, whlch can save j, I x ni t threo days. The rnedical director today re-rnindtd us that we wlll have new problema after Uie war. It would be well to consider ali these problem« now und prepare a plan for the convention. Gradisek thinks that the supreme board should take steps to cover the convention fund deficit; payment should be madelUpA adminiatrative fund becauae the deficit w«jr"Cau»ed by the mergar. Trojar is opposelion by Vider that it is • satisfactory to Eveleth if convention is held ln September, although they would prefer August. Secretsry Vider reads the follovving: 1) Protest of Westmoreland federation of SNPJ agalnat the aupreme board which they claim was too hasty and striet when it forced former editor Molek to reslgn They n commend that the su-preme board re considers the matter. 2) The Eastern Ohio «nd Western W. Va. fed-eration does not approve the decision of the supreme board vvhich by its restolution forced Ivan Molek to reslgn. Thoy desire that the supreme board reconsiders the matter and amends its reso-lution to conform lo the resolutions adopted by the 12th convention. A communication wss ssceivcd also from a mem-ber in thia matter; howevtr, it was not signed but carried only tyoewrltten name, and it therefore cannot be consldered. Zaitz states that this matter was studied by the auditing committee and Us decision given ln its report. v Petrovich moves to pigee both protests on file, and that the supreme boord hereby declares that it ia ln full agreement with decision of auditing committee. A copy of this decision is to be sent to both federations. Motion is seconded and una-nimously carried. Garden states that he is against stopping the controversy ln the official organ, but as some vvrlters keep repeating one and the same thing, it ls necesssry to set to limit. Hc recommends that each vvriter shall be allowed two artleles in one and the same controverslal matter. Barbic expresses the hope that he witl be per-mitted to Ulk at this tirne He does not intend to fight for Molek becsusC>!ulek is. not fighting for himself. But he haa with him many letters from members who are flghtlng for Molek. He shows clippings from big city dailies in which writers criticize the editor. Why should not he have the right to criticize? Whoever does not like it, has the right to reply. He reads his statement and expresses surprise aa to how a Cleveland sub-seriber found out that the article vvould not appear in Proaveta. Petrovich beiieves thst it is enough lf one has told a thing twice. It ia interesting that there are only about a half dozen of those who cry censor-ship, and these are tho ones who have the most articles. He moves to approve Garden's recommendation. Lotrich aeconds the motion. A lively debate follows, in which almost aH present participate. Some agree that such a rule vvould limit repetitlon of a controversy, whlle others declare that thia rule is not necessary beeause according to the'by-lawS the editor has full power to limit or stop articles Of controverslal nature. Vider explains to Barbic that it was he who mentioned the particular r^jeeted article in Cleveland vvhen he appealed to certain reasonable members to use their influence vvith Bro. Barbic so that he vvould stop his constant boring tactics. He did this for the benefk of the Society and Bro. Barbic. It ls pointed out that'Ptasveta ls for educatlonal purposes, and not for sUspicion and accusatlon. Provocatlve and thoughtless articles have no plače ln Prosveto becauae they are harmful tO the So-clety.' " '' ' ' " ' '' ■■>■,. Garden reallžes that he has the right, but vvould like to have the suppoit of the supreme board through certain rules, aa he does not vvant to be considered a dietator. Ita motion does not con-ccrn provocatlve šrtlclo^, beeause he wlll stop these ut the source. ' ' > Petrovlch's motion is defeated by a large ma-jorlty of votes. Petrovich moves to approve the editor's conduct so far. Motion is seconded and carried unani-mously. ' Ten minutes intermissloh follovva. Garden regrets that th* aupreme board did not give him the support he vvanted in order to bc able to do away vvith tHe harmful controversies on Society matters. He withdraWs his seccnd recom menda tlon. Zaitz points out that we ulreudv have a decision on political adverttoing in contributed articles. Zupun moves that controversv in matter of former editor Bro. Ivan Molek shall be stopped. Lotrich seconds, and motion Is carried unanl-mousty. Kuhel asks if statement read by Barbic shall be printed ln tke minutes. Vratarich moves that tho atatement shall appear ln original minutea but ahall not be publlshed. Lotrich seconds the motion. Garden moves to publish ln the minutes a sum-mary of Barbic's statement. Kuhel seconds the motion. Barbic exclaims that evorythlng can go into the minutea, cxcept his things. Hla demand for a roll eall vote is not seconded. Vratarich motion receivea U votes in favor and Garden motion 7 votes. Vratarich motion is carried. Garden asks if it is not necessary to confirm the decision on eleetion policy and articles. Cainkar states that tho previous decision is in effect until It is revoked by the supreme board. Secretary reads invitation from Croatlan Fra-ternal Union to banquet and concert on occasion of their ftOth anniversary. Motion by Trojar to send a representative is seconded and carried (l Petrovich, Godina, l.isch« Vratarich and Maglich are nominated. No one accepta, and an ap-peul ls made to Petrovich who nccepts and is declared elected. Secretary reads invitation to AH Slav Congress of vvhich our Society is a member. Vidrich moves. Olio s< oonds. that we send a representative. Petrovich moves. Lotrich aeconds, to plače invi- j talion on file. * A discussion follovvs. in whlch I* is brought out tliut this organizatlon was founded for an excel-lent purpose, but at present its politics are con-trary to our prlnclplea. However, our representative can be present vvithout defending the pol^ti-cians. Motion to send s representative receivos 14 votes, motion to file invitation receives 8 votes. President adjourns seasion at 9:30 p. m. SESSION AUG. 12. 9 A.M. AH supreme officers are present as at previous etision. The minutes of third and fourth sessions are read and approved vvith two corrections. Vider reviews the escellent standing of our spe-cial rezerve fund vvhich novv has $1,500,000; and as our rate of solvoncy is more than 125%, our sc-tuary recommends that vve tranafer $500.000 frem the soecial reserve to reaerve of members insured in Plan A, or on 4% basis. He moves to accept the recommendation and tranafer this sum. Shular seconds the motion. Debate follovvs ln vvhich Petrovich, Kuhel, Garden, Barbic, Vrhovnik, Zaitz, Lotrich and Mognik take part. It ls explained that this transfer vvould Iovver thesolvency to about 112%, and vvould there-by stop the talk about our high solvency and big proflts. From a busineps standpoint this vvould be an excellent move but it could have an unfavor-able moral effect beeause even if the money vvould actually remain in our combined assets, the drop in solvency rate could be pointed to. Lisch moves that executlve committee shall study this question by the February meeting of the supreme board, and vvhere poasible contact other Slovene fraternal organizations so that aH vvould take this step at the same time. Trojar seconds the motion. During debate Class A certificates based on N. F. Congress table are comparod vvith new certificates based on American Experience table. We have about 55% of our membership Insured in class A, and about 90% of the sum vvith vvhich this debate ls concerned vvas contributed by those members vvho vvere insured in class A but vvere forced to drop out during the depresaion. It is also mentioned that the fund could be lovvered by omitting one or two monthly assessments for aH members. Llach motion receives 11 votes, Vider motion receives 4 votes. The president determines that neither motion is carried. Vider presenta matter of revvarding lodge secre-taries in amounts of from $5 to $50 for their vvork. He estimates that this vvould cost about $15,000 for one year. Many lodges flnd it hard to get a secretary. In our campaigna the agitator gets the member and the revvard, but the vvork falla on the secretary. When the war ends, it vvill be especial-ly important to have good secretarles beeause it vvill depend largely on them 'lf vve vvill retain the thousands vvho vvill be released from milltary servlce. Petrovich agrees vvith Vider's suggestion, and recommends a plan: A lodge vvhich shovva a loss —no revvard; a lodge of up to 100 members vvhich shovvs no loss—$5 revvard to secretary; and an additional $5 for each addltlonal 100 members. If a lodge has Increased its membership, the sec-retary shall receive $2 for each juveniie or adult member gained up to $50. Vidrich, Lisch, Vratarich, Shular, Fifolt, Barbic, Vrhovnik knd Močnik take part ln discuaalon. Zaitz moves that the secretary and juveniie di-recton shall prepare a plan according to this discussion for revvarding lodge secretaries; the plan to be approved by executive committee and can be submitted to supreme board for a vote by mail; if accepted, the plan ls to go into effect January 1, 1945. Motion is seconded and carried. Secretory reads Invitation to meeting of National Fraternal Congress. Zaitz moves and it is leconded to send a representative. Motion ls carried. Cainkar is elected. Secretary reads appeal from Progressive Slovene Women for contributlons for the purchase of an ambulance for the Jugoslav Liberation Army. Zaitz moves that the executlve committee shall act on this appeal according to our custom. Seconded and carried. Garden moves that the SNPJ shall purchase an equipped ambulance &nd donate it to the Jugoslav Liberation Army in token of our deep ad-miration and in proof of our cooperation; the ex-ceutive committee to handle the details. Motion is seconded by Shular and others and is unani-mously carried. Kuhel expresses his thanks for the gift. Zaitz asks if čase of Dr. Arch has been settled. Cainkar explains that it has not, and that the situa-tion is unehanged. Zaitz advises that such matters vvhich are in legal process should not be mentioned ln Prosveta. Vider and Shular do not be-lieve that it can harm the Society to teli the truth publicly in certain caaos. Kuhel moves that executive committee shall determinc the total convention expenses of SSPZ delegation vvhich amount vvas puid in accordancc vvith merger contract from the SNPJ convention fund; and vvhich umount it shall be authorized to transfer from administrative or special benefit fund to the convention fund. Lotrich seconds mu-tion, and It ls carried unanimously. On question by Zaltz, Godina moves to approve rccom menda tion of auditing committee on account-ant's fee. Motion la seconded and carried. Vrhovnik reports that 85 names vvere submitted in contest to change the name of Mladinski List. from vvhich judges Cainkar, Garden and Vrhovnik have aelected threo, namely—The Juveniie Maga-zlne, The Voice of Youth, Junior Age. Zupan mentions the difficultv twenty years ago vvhen he vvas the magazines editor. It is interesting that the first two names of the three novv sc-lected vvere suggested at that time, and vve real-Ized that these were only deseriptions vvhich could u rve as a nam«. He moves to postpone the selec-tion of a name. and to pav the promlsed avvards. Motion is seconded bv Lotrich and Olip. After a brief discussion by Godina. Gardui Sh lar, Zaitz, Vider and Vidrich. a vote is taken^* motion is defeated. \ Culkar and Maglich are appointed tellers f» votlng on new name. They report 18 votes fw The Voice of Youth, 2 votes for The Juvenil* Ma? azine, 1 vote for Junior Age; 2 votes vvare not valid. The name of juveniie magazine shall be chan«ed to The Voice of Youth on January 1, 1945 Ten minutes intermission follovvs. • Vratarich deseribes the čase of a member wh< has trouble vvith local relief officials due to r° serve on his certificate. He feels that a stau ment from the supreme office would sol ve th« dif fičulty, and vvould establish a precedent for Mm ilar cases in Pennsylvania. Vider states that the desired statement vvill be sent to Bro. Vratarich Vrhovnik moves that during \he current cam. paign regular avvards on the same basis as for new members shall be paid for aH juveniles transferred insured for more than $500. Motion is seconded and carried. Vrhovnik moves, and it is seconded and carried that the director and chairman of the campaign shall dravv up the schedule of special avvards, not including the first four vvhich are already speci-fied, for approval by executive committee. Vrhovnik moves, and it is seconded and carried, that the usual sum of $500 shall be appropriated for 4he revvarding of various contributors to Mladinski List in 1945. In the event that more is re-quired, executive committee has povver to author-ize additional amounts. Vrhovnik moves that a national telegraphic bovvling tournament shall be held in 1945; as the name implies, to be held sectionally and locally vvherever possible. If conditions permit, the national tournament to be held on the same plan as in former years. Motion is seconded and carried. Vrhovnik moves that the same scale of dona-tions be applied for the conduct of the national tournament as vvas in effect at the time vvhen the tournament vvas suspended. Motion is seconded and carried. President reads letter from Bro. Louis Adamič vvho desires that vve vvould give Bro. Kuhel sev-eral months leave of absence ao that he could take full charge of SANS as vvell as important vvork for the United Committee. He also reads his reply to the letter explaining that executive committee did not feel that it has the povver to do this. The matter is novv before the supreme board for discussion and decision. Kuhel deseribes his vvork vvith SANS. He is prepared to continue to vvork for this essential action, especially since the coming months vvill bo most important. Jle vvould gladly accept Adamič'.; invitation, but only on conditlon that he is granted a temporary leave for three months and that he is promised moral support. He cannot be blamed if he thinks of his family and future. Olip, Godina, Zaitz, Vidrich, Petrovich, Barbic, Trojar, Lisch, Vrhovnik, Lotrich, Gradisek. Maglich and Močnik take part in discussion. They aH agree that Bro. Kuhel is very essential to SANS, and ali vvish every success to SANS, jvhich vvas founded vvith the help of SNPJ. Hovvever, the supreme officers' first duty is to guard the Society's interests. It appears that according to tho by-laws, the responsibility of the treasurers office cannot be transferred to another person. This could be done only if Kuhel vvould share the responsibility vvith Vider and Cainkar, and extra help hired to do the regular vvork. Garden moves that cxecutlve committce may in čase of need give the treasurer a leave on conditlon that he remains responsible and if his vvork can be so arranged that the Society's interest vvill not suffer. Olip seconds the motion. Vider is surprised at this motion, as executive committee had the matter before it, then brought it up here, and novv it is roferred back to them. He is always glad to help out, but the fact is that it is hard to get help in the supreme office, and the vvork is behind even novv. Garden's motion receives 12 votes in favor, 3 votes contrary. The motion is carried. Maglich presents recommendations of vice-prcs-idents and juveniie director as reported at morn-Ing session on Aug. 11 (see minutes): 1)—Zaitz so moves, motion is seconded but not carried. 2)—This matter has been decided. 3)—Lisch moves that vice-presidents shall have the povver to cooperate vvith local committees. Fifolt seconds the motion, vvhfch is carricd. 4)—Zupan moves that reports of supreme officers shall be publiahed ln Slovene and in English. Fifolt seconds, motion carried unanimousIy., Maglich moves that cost of preparation and printing of by-laws shall be paid from administrative fund; that this sum shall be paid back to convention fund. Vider is not in favor, and states that there is no fear that convention fund vvill not be solvent. Motion is not seconded. Ambrozich moves that ln this year of the 40th anniversary, one month's mortuary assessment shall be omitted for aH juveniie and adult members. Vidrich thinks lt unnecessary to omit assessments in these times. but the money may be need-ed in the future to keep our members. The motion is defeated. Godina moves that executive committce and other supreme board members in the vicinity •ha" approve the minutes of the closing session. Motion is carried. President Cainkar adjourns the meeting at p. m. • • • At a special meeting on August 7, 1944 at T p. m. in SNPJ supreme office attended by Cainkar vider, Kuhel, Vrhovnik. Trojar, Gradisek. Godina.

Kumer. Camilus Zarnlck, Kaymond Travnik. John Spiller, Edvvard Tomsic and Andrew Grum. Dr. John J. Zavertnik is de-i ni»'d by his duties. ' It is decided that sessions shall be from 9 to and 1:30 to 5 daily. Bro. Maglich vvho is presiding. calls on the presi d.-nt to give his report. Report of Supreme President We have met again in regular session to hear reports from the individual board members. to esamine and review the Society's business for the first six months of the year, and to take up ali necessary matters and make decisions for the fu U,re administratlon and general welfare of the or jjanization. The Supreme Office According to the decision of our previous meet-ing an election for the office of head editor vvas l„.|d to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation o! Bro Molek. Official notice of the vacancy and call for candidates was duly published. As you ali knovv, Bro. Garden was elected and assumed his office at once. ' This caused u vacancy on the editorial stafr and it was necessary to issue a call for the position of assistant editor. Only one application was re-c ived that of Milan Medvesek. He vvas accepted on condition that he resign from his office of au-d it ing committee member since our by-laws do not permit that an employee in the supreme office shall also be a supreme auditor. He resigned and his plače was Uken by Bro. Fifolt who was the duly elected first alternate for auditing committee. We have, therefore, two new officer« present at this meeting. While both Bro. Garden and Bro. Fifolt are undoubtedly knovvn to aH of you, permit me tO introduce them officially at this time, and to wclcome them to our midst. There have SlSO been some changes among the « mplovees in the supreme office. A few left our cmployment and their places had to be filled. Salanes of some employees were increased again rečenily due to prevailing condition« and the ■-hortage of help. Various Actirities W« are attempting to promote as usual the vari oi i s activities as far as conditions permit. This has mostly been in connection with our forti^h ■uiinversary which we are observing this year. We /,U encouraging the lodges and federations to hold anniv»»rsary celebrations, and we try to assist Uiem fuinishing speakers and otherwise. We ar-iged for'a special jubilee issue of Prosveta in the week of the Society's birthday. This issue w.,s |)i mted on fine paper, was well illustrated. . ud carried articles by various supreme officer« ;md other members. Our sincere gratitude is h< i« by extended to ali who participated. W.» are also holding a membership campaign in i onnection vvith the anniversary observance. This m arcordance with the decision of the supreme l»nard at its last meeting. Expansion of member--hip is <*xtremely important to every fraternal ' m lit organization, and it is always essential for o oi ganization also. It is only proper. therefore. i in this year of our important jubilee we try ' .« i otnplish so much more in this respect. With • .Miipaign, wc not only increase our membership, ' t wv also create more activity in the lodges and 1 "1 new, young blood into the organization. A vou have seen froin published reports of the • m campaign, the resulU sp far are quite good, n.,t hh good as the importance of the matter «i• i merit. The report shows that so far only • loitgcs and a few individuals are active par i '..nt s in the campaign contest However, on important anniversary occasion, ali of u« . 1 i to he m the campaign and working hard for hh-kk Tin« campaign director's report will 'o vou more fully in this matter.

How-ever, in addition to some good, sensible recommen-dations, the discussion brought many undestrable and impractical suggestions as well as unwarrant-ed reflections on the esecutive committee, a matter vvhich we vvill take up later. Stat« of 8ociety From the reports of the other executive official« you vvill learn the exact status of the various funds, membership and the Society in general. I shall report only that we have again increased our assets and membership in this period, and that the Society'« general condition U satisfactory in spite of the difficult times. I feel it nece«sary to men tion, hovvever, that there are stili too many can celed members each month, particularly in the juvenile department. and that something will have to be done to overcome the situation. JRC and SANC As you know, our Soicety continues to cooper-ate vvith JRC and SANC, our Jugoslav relief and political organization*; the SNPJ being the back-bone particularly of the latter. Whlle ali is not smooth and easy, and there are many difficulties, we cannot and must not stop, particulai ly not novv when the war is nearing its end, and the liberatlon j of the Jugoslav people is at hand. Undoubtedly you are follovving the reports of events and the situation in the old country as published by SANC j in Prosveta and other papers, from vvhich we can safely conclude that SANC was right when it sup-ported the antifascist partlsan liberation movement, just as we vvere1 right in our deci«lon« ln this respect. These are great days of trial for our I organization also, and perhaps never again in our Society's history vvill we have another opportunity such as this to shovv by deed our belief in liberty and democracy and human progress. Our sup-port-of this movement must be loyal, enthu«ia«tic, unsvverving und constunt, regardle«« of difficulties und opposltion or the uotion of anyone else! Our office is stili collectlng eontributlons for | SANC and JRC vvhich are forwarded by lodges and individuals. At SANC's last meeting I took over tke duties of temporary trea«urer of that j organization. This concludes my report, to vvhich I shall be glad to add any explanation or Information de-sired. VINCENT CAINKAR. Report accepted. Report of Supreme Vice President This certainly is not intended as a report in the literal sense of the word. There are, hovvever, several fundamental questions vvhich I believe you vvill diseuss in your ses«ion« and vvhich I should like to talk to you about. Since these Involve a discussion 1 d Id not consider It appropriate to in-clude them in my report. I im, therefore, send-ing u column to Prosveta for publication vvith this report vvhich expresses my oplnlons and recom-mendation« on the various questlons. It is hoped that they vvill be of some help to you in your de-liberation«. I vvish to mention that the official organ und official reports are reaching me regularly. und I um very grutful to receive these.

It Is a fact that preaent conditions are largely ruaponslble for our fallure to ahow better progress in membership in the first half of thia y«ar. Our hope is that there will be an improve-ment in the currant period. It Is expected that the annlversary campaign vvill develop favorably, and that it vvill aehleve a vvlder icope than in the beglnnlng. Hovvever, our espectitlons from the preaent campaign vvhich started on April 1 should not be too optimlatic, u undoubtedly last ysar's campaign ipoUed thia yaar's to some estent.

J ust aa it happened after the Last war. The «uestioai ls whether they will in this čase also remain i navad in fraternai benefit oeflamzatioim Much will depend on econoanic conditlona which ,we cannot prediet. and on whether we will be pre p ur ed for every eventual-ity. If our lodge secreturios will teke the Uouble to properly explain to thoae who might want to leave the Society about the material and ideal-iatic advantages whieh our organization offers to iU members, then ther« probably will not be ao rnany loeees. Sueh poaaibilitiM exiet, however, and we should be prepared for them. We are ali aware that our lodge aecreUriea generali/ are very poorly compensated for their work. It will be necessary, therefore, to provide more eosnpensation if we want to expect more work froan them. I recommend therefore. that the supreme board shall empower the executive committee to pay a certain sum at the end of the year to those lodge aecretaries who bave bero efficient and who have retained or inereased their membership. The amounts of sueh compenaetion shall be ac-cording to merit up to $50; the plan to be effec-Uve on trial next year, and if not successful, can be discontinued. , Relations beween the lodges and our office have been satlsfactory in spite of various dlfficultles and problema of the present time. Lodge officfels and members ar« cooperating with us. which means there are no speeial complaints, and I hereby extend my warmest thanks to ali. We have had aonwthing of a problem with office employees. which is ouite eommon in these times. Although our employees' average salaries have always been higher than elsewbere for office work, it is stili difficult to oonvince partlcu-larly the younger help that a steady posltlon with a lower salary ls better than a temporary job wh!ch pays a few dollars more. Hardly any-one ever thlnks of what will come after this war, as the majorlty has alrcady forgotten what hap-pened after the last war. We have one vacancy at present and shall have to resort to overtlme until the plače is filled. The present personnel ls doing its work efficiently. with the help also of the aasistant secretary, and my apprcclation is hereby extended to them. This concludes my report. Our books were audited by certified publlc accountants and by our auditing committee. which will present its report. ' F. A. VIDER. Report accepted. Vrhovnik calls attention to the followina in the secretary's report: 1) only the first two months of anniversanr campaign*are Included in reports eovering first half of year; 2) of the number of Juveniles reported emneeled as of June 30. 47 have been relnstated. Report of Aeeištant Secretary My office has no špecific duties which are not covered in the reports of other executive officials, and my report is therefore comparatlvely brief. According to the by-laws, the aasistant secre tary performs the work deslgnated by the supreme secretary or executive commlttec. The work is assigned to me according to need, and as prevailing conditlona are very unstable and gen era!ly tend to cauae unrest and diseontent, the occaaion often arises when it is necessary that someone takea hold in one plače or another ao that the work doea not fall too far behind. and until the situation is cleared up. I perform my tasks fuithfully and carefully and cooperate with the secrctary, executive committee and offioe em-ployees ln ali mattors for the good of the adminis-tration and membgrahlp. I am partly occupled with the operatlon of the alphabetical accounting machlne. by means of vvhich we produce the reports vvhich are forward-ed to lodge secreteries monthly. Also. we tabulate the assessments for the various funds as received, and executc other work in connection with the accounts of the Societsr. In these times of short-age of help, it is this machlne whlch makes lt possible to perform tAe work promptly aa re quired, and it is neoeasary, therefore, that there are always at leaat two people available who are familiar with its operatlon. During the last few years it haa been evident that the 12th oonvention made a very sensible decision vvhen it created two new positlona in the supreme office because aieady and reliable help is always required for satisfactory perform ance of the work vvhich the membership expects of us. My oplnion of the current controversy in Prosveta is that the supreme board only did ita duty. When the convention shall delegate one person to interpret ita decisionj for the four-year period, then the supreme )>oard will not have the right to interfem in the uctlvities of the particular in-dividual, but now the supreme board is stili tho highest authority in the period bctween conven tions. This concludes my report. 1 wish this meeting much succesa in its cfforts for the best vvelfare of the organization and membership. Report accepted. ANTON TROJAR. Report of Supreme Treaeurer It is probable that never in the Society'a history has the total of financlal transactions been as high as in the first slx months of this yegr. Total deposits and disbursements of checking account of insurance depaiiment were $3,082,403.42. Financial transactions in connection with the Socie ty's investments comprised the main part of this total, and balance was various benefits and disbursements of maurance department. The chairman of finance (n the latter by the supreme secretary.

It te very important that this fact is not only recognized by the supreme board and members of the Society, but also advertlzed among the American public. The Society is at present in better general condition than ever berofe in its history, and this is something vvhich should be particularly emphasized in this year of its fortieth anniversary. As a member and supreme officer, I have praetised this at every opportunlty. It is much easier to convince people of the Society's present good standing, than of some future acoomplishments. I have tried to execute my officlal duties as efficient^ and promptly as possible under the cir-cumatances. We must not forget that we are at war, and that we are having difficulties due to the constantly inereasing shortage of efficient and ex-perienced workers both in the supreme office and at the lodges. Also, it has become increasingly necessary to devote a vvhole day in addition to countless hours of my spare time to the vvork of the Slovene American National Council vvhich is daily becoming more important and significant. The concluding portion of my report deals vvith this question. ' From the time that this board publicly defined the power and rights assigned to it by the convention in matter of our official organ, vvhich povver it used in defense of the principles of our Society at its February meeting, certain indivi-duals and groups have expressed themselves in fanatic opposition to the dcoision of the supreme board, and are using space in Prosveta for this pur pose. Numerous explanations by the nevv editor and other officiate and vvriters have not accomp-lished the desired res uit«. Explanations seldom satisfy people vvith fixed ideas. The supreme board upheld the Society's prestige by an overvvhelming maJorlty of vote« čast, and by its firmness will contlnue to uphold it in the future. It must not per mit demagoglc methods vvhich vvould in the name of democracy exploit truc democracy at the cx penae of our tolerance and good vvill. . The question of decreasing the delegation at our coming convention is now before the membership. A great deal could be vvritten both for and against the initiativc of lodge 21, but it seems to me that the members are thoroughly capable of deciding v/hether the initiatlve vvill go to referendum or not. For this reason I have not taken part in the discussion. Pcrsonally, I am not in favor of the motion because I doubt that the desired rc sult vvould be achieved even if the initiative vvould receive the support of 20% of the membership and vvould win in the referendum. The expenses of the last convention, vvhich was also the mavper convention, are being cited in the argument to decreaae the delegation. Hovvever, similar expenses are not likely to occur for some time, and it must be remembered also that the Society's convention fund vvas originaliy insuffi-cient to covor also the per diems and traveling ex penses of the 79 S6PZ delegates and supreme of-ficers vvho were present at the convention. In spite of this, in the merger contract, the SNPJ agreed to pay the convention expenses of SSPZ If this sum had been returned to the convention fund, and if the cost of the nevv by-laws#had been charged to general expen«e instead of convention fund, then the cxpenses of the SNPJ delegation wouid have been considcrably les«, probably not more than the cost of the SNPJ convention in Cleveland. Could not this be adjusted in some way at this time? It is too bad that we think of these things only after our accounts are closecL victory for the heroic Slovene and Jugu who will have sacrificed their llves in tht ti ^ to achieve the goal of the Slovene natioi. n Sj be a great victory ateo for ali progi, , ■ iV0. si vene immigrants and their descendan democratic and liberty-loving ideals will ' morally and materially aasisted in the triumoh MIRKO G.

The SNPJ ls entitled to a delegate, ln addition to the many members of SNPJ vvho vvill as dulegates from SANC branehes or us SANC officers have the right of representation. At previous meetings I have often emphasized the predominant and significant participation of our membership in the SANC movement. This pro-portion has becamc even greater now in vievv of the inereased interest in the vvork of SANC and ln some of the results in its political sphcrc for vvhich. vvithout undue praise, SANC is in considcr-ablc measure resppnsible. Yes, the situation has altered considerably since the last meeting of this lx>aid. Some wcrc dis-turbed by the so-called "agreement" betvvcen the Jugoslav king and the anti-fascist council of Jugoslav national librration. Thut something like it wa« in the making was hinted last fall, soon after the Moecovv and Teheran conference. This could not be written about, but it was spoken of. It ca used embarassment to those vvho did not fully under-atand political intrigue, or vvho vvere too idealisti: and not rcaltetic enough. The important thing is that tho national leaders in Jugoslavia remained firm and accepted thercby nothing more than out-side political support of their political movement, even as they had already been rcceiving military support in their resistance against foreign and internat enemles. As far back as last November, the Jugoslav Par-liament officiafly decreed that Slovene Primorje, Tiieste, Istria and ali Dalmatian Islands novv under Italy are a part of nevv Jugoslavia. At the aame time. the Slovene Parliament united vvith the National Councll of Primorje and decreed ali Slovene landa under Italv as part of United Siovenia This has been the wteh of the Slovene nation, iti-cluding those of us in America, fot many, many years. Has thte all-important union been attained only by wtehinf? • The Manifest lasued In June by certain prominent Italiana in America htnts that aomething aimilar te probably included in the terms of the Italian capitulation vvhich was signed by Badog-lio on behalf of the Italian king. If thte te true, then we ahall have to be on guard. and at SANC also. that the particular condition te not amended. In addition to the Interna I affairs of future Slove nia and Jugoslavia. this te the most important que«tion in the SANC program. Its convrntipn and future lradrrship te rxtrrmely important for thte reason SANC will need thr hrlp of )ust sueh organirations as thr SNPJ It will br neceasary to aaerifirr rvm uvrr In ordrr that its goal will br achieved tn grentrr meaaurr lt « ill depend great-ly on thia tu»ard. hn« far it iS prrperrd to rxtrn«l Its hrlptng hand SANCa victorj in its work win not only br June Total regular asses.....

I hope, as I know co"1*' °;1111' Ust that this meeting will accomp-^l^h that will prove beneficial for the So-^v and its membership. ^luAnniversarv Campalgn. First of ali I am 'port on the eampaign. As you know *°in*u 'nniversary eampaign has been in ef-,ht , AorU and wUl be concluded on Novem-le(\Sn Tlu officml figure, aa of June 30 diacloae ^bined memberahip of 64,226. of which 8S 555 are adulU and 16,671 are juveniles. > eain of 261 "tn the adult department r< H lose oim in the juvenile department. n« to the present tirne, four months of th* Jan have been completed, yet in the mem-ca'Tn fl*nZ given above the resulU of only .^n Of the "uur montha are included. and. there-fore should not be taken as a criterion of what L expected in the future nor is it a fair way of lamine its effect on the net membership gain ♦h« fnst half of the year. The number of new ln bors admitted into the Society during the Jmnaifin months of May and June was not suf-Snt to offset the losaes of the juvenile depart-n, nt for the entire six months. while on the other hand the small increase in the adult department is accountcd for to some extent by the unusually low number of juvenile transfers. F(,r vour information I have compared results t tht, first four months of the present eampaign with those of the Victory eampaign. and find that as of August 1 there is a decrease of only 8% in miinber of new members enrolled. In the Victory iniuaicn a total of 1041 new members were enrolled as against 966 in the present eampaign or 75 less. There were. however. 427 juvenile transfers in the Victory eampaign as against 328 in the 40th anniversary campaitfn, which accounts for the wider difference in the grand totals. Judging by past campaigns, the best months of the 40th anniversary membership drive are di-rtn tly ahead of us. Reeords show that interest is mounting and enthusiasm is growing stronger with cach succeeding month. I have every con-fidence that our members will not fail us in this drivo. but will again prove their loyalty and trust by making possible another great victory through cnrollment of new members, and thus strenfcthen Iht- unity, security and purpose of the SNPJ. Cancellations of Previous Drives. The juvenile campaien, conducted in September, October and November. 1943, brought into the Society a total of 14« 1 members. The reeords show that seven months after the cloae of the eampaign. only 42 members have been canceled or less than 3%. The approximate eost of this eampaign, including the regular and speeial awards as well as the printing. will be in the neighborhood of $2000 or an average of about $1.40 per member. Another examination of cancellations of members enrolled in the Vietory eampaign reveals that fifteen months after its conclusion, the can-ceilation rate stands at approximately 15%. This aecording to standarda applicable in other socie-ties and commercial eompanies is conamiered good. I must udd that exeept for seven or eight lodges. the cancellation reeord is remarkably low. These fcw lodges alone aecount for more than 50% of the lapses, which is enough to give you an idea of what splendid reeords the remaining lodges mu.^t have. Juvenile Circles. As for our Juvenile Circles, I venture to say that a majority of them are as aetive as the eonditions in their eommunities aftd tiie general špirit of the membership and the times permit. Nearly aH of them are experiencing difficulties and are having their "ups" and "downs". We knovv^that in eertain loealities our Circles are ver.y aetive and progressive, while in other places one would hardly know they exist. Much depends on the špirit, energy, ideas and sincei ity of the leaders and membership and their deske to create or do something worthwhile for the Cirele and the Soeiety. That usually meas-ures the depth of achievement.Y Under more nor-mal eonditions, I am eertain that better results would be obtained with less effort. 1 took the opportunity to appear as a guest ipeaker on two very fine Juvenile Cirele pro-Rrams staged in honor of the Society'a 40th an-mv( isaiy, one at Sharon, Pa., and the other here in Chicago. Bolh were well planned, splendidly presented and very well attended. I also had the Pleiuiure of appearing as official speaker on the oceasion of the 40lh anniversary eelebration of Lodge 8 m S. Chicago. and here another success-ful event was vvitncssed. Many similar celebra-tions iiave l>een held throughout the jurisdiction of the Kociety and others, no doubt, are being Pliiiincd for the months ahead. Wartime hard-fnius and sorrows. however, have greatly redueed tn«' numi>er and significancc of these anniversary kj^nts. iMladiriNki i,ist Nrw Name Contest. The "Nevv |wnw f«.r Mladinski List" contest, which began i r>Tided on August 1 with a total of Ni W n.iini-K and aln*ist as many letters entered. ' ('""tist in tny opinion was a success.

If a new "• d. it will be advisable to add a few t" the ML starting with the first I have in mind a new contest or '■inrnend the usual appropriation for The new name will be an incen mration for our juveniles to make ' juvenile magazine in America! xchange and miscellaneous circulation. We gained 230 new subseribers in this period, and lost about 100 due to death, old age and other reasons. There has therefore been some progress. Subseriptions are collected promptly, and the number of old debts is negligible. Advertising remains about the same as in previous period, with perhaps a slight decrease. We issucd a speeial aupplement in ob-sei*vance of the 40th anniversary of the SNPJ. t While much could be said about the controversy concerning the pollcy of the former editor and the changes of the new editor, the result on the whole has been that there has been no difference yi subseribers gained or lost, which is contrary to what some expected. I can state, however, that ali those grand promises about the rush of new subseribers and the roturn of old subseribers who had dropped the paper, wcre not fulfilled in the least. Mladinski Lisi: There are 9,900 eopies of this juvenile mapazine printed monthly, which is a gain due to the large number of new members enrolled in the juvenile membership eampaign of last year. The magazine is attractive and pop-ular, as anyone who is intereated can observe, Printery: There have been no important changes in this department. 'Wjth the exception of Majski Glas and some printing for SANS wc had no big jobs exeept, of eourse, our own publications and printing for the SNPJ main office. General relations betwcen lodges, representa-tives and secretaries and the main office are satis-factory as far as I know. I must mention, how-ever, that the eost of printing material and sup-plies is constantly greater, and it is high tlme that this thing would be over. Salaries of printers and other employees were raised considerably. The conditjons are sueh, and we can only follow the rules of the war labor board. Also, we frequent-ly are unable to get temporary workers. Yes, ev-erything has gone up except our subseription rate, whieh is stili $1.20 per year just as it was years ago As you will note in financial reports, Prosveta and Printery both show some profit. However, the printing departmenfs profit is actually almost one-half less, because we will have to pay in the near future about $500 back wages as a result of the reoent war labor board approval of raises, retroactive to March 18, 1944. For the period of one year, the ainount of raise is $4.05 per week for eaeh manual and machine compositor. This vvill be shown in our reports for the current half year. This about concludes my report. Our books and accounts were examined by certified accountants and our auditing commitU'e. I will be at your disposal for arty further explanations which may be necessary. Financial reports of my departmenU are attached hereto. PHILIP GODINA. Report accepted.

I must say that the poaitlon is not an •nvlable one, since it is tied up wlth greater reaponalbllity and duties than is perhapa apparent un the sur-face. But if one likes the work and Ihe organita-tion and does not shirk responsibilitles, one can find satisfaction in this alao. These words from which I am unable to desist, probably are due in the flrat plaee to the fact that we have been very buay wlth Prosveta and Mladinski Liat during the paat montha: in the arcond plače, because of the well-known affalr, these are quite stormy times for the head editor at loast, even though he is entlrely lnnocent in the mat-ter. Hc finds himselt at the ci-osaroads, and erit-icism is aimed al him from both sldes. If you do not publlsh everything that aomeono has written thoughtleaaly, or'in hasle of anger, you are n "dlc-tator"; if you publish things of eontrovorsial nu-ture, you aiv ciitlclaed again. If you write u comment youraelf because it saems neeeasarf, it ia wrong again. Of etrnrae, ali thia niust be ovar-looked, the oi iticlam obaerved it it is sound and then ono must contlnua in the path as roqulrod by tha poaitlon. From the tirne of Bro, Molek's resignation as haad editor in March and almust to the end of June when Milan Medveaek became an asalstant editor, there were only three of us on the edi-torlsl staff. In urdur to do the work, and ln agree ment with tho buslness manager. wo extended our working hours to 49 per week, the head editor even ionger. Also, we were asslsted by juvenlla director Bro. Vrhovnik in connection with Mladinski Liat. for whioh our thanks and appiecia-tion. On oonelusion of the vaeations whlch are now in progreaa, and which mean more work for the remaining three on the staff slnce Uio paper must be issuod daily, we shall again breathe easier. Prosveta.' As far as edltlng Prosveta ls con-cerned, I am follovvlng the policies outllned by the supreme board at tU last meeting. I am follovvlng them because I agree with them; if 1 did not, I would not have been a candldate for the office of head editor. I must say also. that it was high tlme to change the eoureo of Prosveta, which had drlfted into sueh waters that it was aagerly quoted by Amerilka Domovina, o paper abaolutaly oppuaed to thu great llboration muve-ment in the old country. It ls too bad that the present erities of the supreme board do not see and understand thia. But it is not entlrely their fault, but alao the fault of the supreine board collectlvely and lndlvldually. If the resolution adopted by tho last »upremo board meeting had been well supported, that ll, If It had s ta led why it ls tho duty of Prosvetu to defend and support the llberatlon niovoment tn tho old country, instaad of looklng upon it wlth hostiIlty and obstructlpg It, then It almost oertaln-ly would not have come to the eontroversy whleh has been In progress ln Prosveta for the past flve months. But as the supreme board dld not do this at its laat meeting, and inalead, inany got tho impresslon from the mlnutea that this was not a queslion of prlnclplo but that pei sonalltles playod the chlef role, 11 would havo been the duty of the Indlvldual supreine offlears lo Inform the membera why the reaolution ls ln order and ea-aentlal and why they voUid for ll. Sueh a puhlic discuaaion could have boen beneficial and educa-t iona I. Howover, esoepl for tho editor who is, so to apoak, innoeent tn the matter, only two supreme board members were heard from. Tha oontrovorsy drags on, und the editor does not know whether ll is good or bad for tho So-clety. although I belleve that it is neither one or the other. Only alMiut thlrty memlatrs from both sldes hava been heard from, but the crltlcs of the supreme board claim that they apeak on behalf of the majorlly. O f eourse, this is absurd iiecause there ia no proof «urdlty. Inasmueh aa tho edlUii takes Ihe stand that every memlier has the righl lo aapress In Prosveta lila opinion on thu or that queatlon, wlthln the limita of dlgnlty and reaaon, of eourse. regard-leas of vvhothoi he agrees with tiie wilU r and provlded that it Is not bare propaganda, he has l»een very lolerant in this controversy. I stopped only four articlos by three wrlU»ra beesusa lliey were unreasonable and ln bad taste. It aeenis to me that tf a penam teli* hts opinion twtoa about one and the same thlng (tn a controv»ray, that« la), that this should be enough, and espacially when it concerns decisiorta of the aupremo board whtch is tha highest authorit* iti the Siis and coiiupt big < ity p««! ptogiam liut it la weak and aillMiul powrr to d*ve|«#p into a thu d i or maaa Moikers paity. neiUtar will It Iiave tha ballot tn ali stalas.

Therefore, until it comaa lo the founding uf a new. leftiat polltloal movement it ia not advisable that Prosveta would aupport any eauting party. alnce it ia not the organ of a pohtical group. Neither ls it advlaablu that we should follow tho CIO polltical action uommitte« because it fol« lows slive r oppurtuniam of doubtful value and it ' ia in many placos allied with oorrupt polltical mauhinea.

The face value of these securities is 9640,875, and the amount received is 9533,-322.50, or a net loss of 97,552.50. Most of this loes was ca used by the sale of Ctty National Bank Bldf. First Mortgage leasehold Bonds of Omaha, Nebraska. These bonds were not a legible invest-ment under the Insurance laws of Illinois and were disposed of for that reason. The calling of Home Owners Loan Corporation 3% bonds representa the most im po rta nt i tem in securities disposed of. The faot value of these bonds is 9320,000 and they were due in 1952, but callahle in 1944. As they were purchased at a s mali premlum, this ca 11 represents a book loss of 92.700.
