The National SNPJ Day At
Milwaukee Very Successful
BAD6ERLAND NEWS
The three day national SNPJ holiday over the weekend in Milwaukee was another milestone in the history of SNPJ Days. From the point of attendance, cultural program, athletic activities, fine fraternal spirit and organization it was one of the most successful "homecoming" celebrations.
The three day celebration, for the preparation and execution of which countless hours of labor were necessary, got underway last Saturday at the erstwhile Turner Hall on National Ave. with a fine program ol singing and other cultural presentations in the evening as well as the handcraft exhibition of our circles The choral singing was rendered by the fine Male Chorus of Lodge Li-lija 704, by the mixed choir "Na-prej" which has a long history of Slovene singing behind it and by the Lilija's Olee Club, consisting ol the lodge's junior members. .A group of Junior All Stars presented several selections under the direction of Sister Marie Ermenc, the Circle director.
Bro. Michael Vrhovnik, our Juvenile Director, was the speaker of the evening. The entire program would have been even more enjoyable if the audience were not somewhat restless, perhaps due to oppressive heat in the hall and lack of self-discipline. This actually marred th* otherwise excellent program which was followed by dancing.
Sunday, however, was the big day at the Pleasant Valley Grove on the outskirts of Milwaukee. In the afternoon and evening a huge crowd, numbering over six thousand people, gathered in the picnic grove. They, our loyal members, came from far and near. Members came to this annual homecoming from the entire Middle West, also from Ohio and Weetern Pennsylvania. Mike Kumer had a fine and sizeable delegation of our Pennsylvanians, also Ray Travnik from Detroit.
This huge group of SNPJers came by cars and busses, by train and plane. It was a fine group of friendly and well behaved people, credit to any organization. , The attendance would have been even greater were it not for the polio in Milwaukee which quarantined all the city's children as well as from the outside. Many parents with small children simply stayed home. That is the reason also why the Perfect Circle of Chicago cancelled its trip. The largest out-of-town representations were from Chicago and Wau-kegan.
The afternoon program at the picnic grove consisted of speeches and the dance music by two outstanding orchestras, the now famous Yanko-vic's group of Cleveland and the lively Bashell's boys from the home town who had led the SNPJ parade into the park. The main speakers were Bro. Vincent Cainkar, our Supreme President who spoke in Slovene. and Bro. Mirko Kuhel, our Supreme Treasurer who spoke in English Both speaker« gave inspiring talks and both were well received by the large crowd of listeners. The Msyor of Milwaukee. Frank Zeidler, was represented by the alderman of the Sixth Ward be cause of his absence from the city. The mnsters of ceremony were Bros. Frank Puncer in Slovene and Anton Verbick in English. After this program Frank Yankovic and his
boys entertained the crowd in their inimitable fashion to the great satisfaction of all.	* All in all Sunday was a memorable day for all the thousands of members who were present as well as for our great SNPJ.-
In the field of softball the Morning Stars, Lodge 005. of Pittsburgh, defeated the Wolverines, Lodge 077, 9f Detroit, for the national SNPJ championship by 1-0. In the golf tournament the Comets (715) of Universal, Pa., were the winners. In the individual contesta Bro. Frank Barkovich of the Comets was the highest. More about the championship ganres at Milwaukee elsewhere in this Prosveta,
The three day celebration was concluded Monday by a meeting of representatives of various lodges. At this meeting it was decided that next year's National SNPJ Day is to be held at Girard, Ohio, under the sponsorship of Eastern Ohio-Western Penna Federation.
To our Milwaukee-West Allis Brothers and Sisters and their lodges go full credit and profound thanks for the successful organization and leadership of this huge affair. They deserve all the praise and esteem. The countless hours of labor they have put into'the preparation and execution of this undertaking could only be ippeid by their own satisfaction qLi job well done for something th*v cherish and believe Ih—the SNPJ.
Spirit-O-Grams
ST. LOUIS. Mo.—All members are urged to attend the September meeting as plans will be made for our trip to Springfield. III., which will be on Sept. 19. Should enough members go a bus will be chartered and we will leave at 8 o. m. and return around 11:30 p. m.
I see by the paper that our president. Bro. John Yurgec, got a telephone—Mohawk 3173. If you don't have anything to do, John would appriciate that you would give him a ring and chat a while.
We hope the Maikoffs enjoyed their vacation and we expect to get all details about it at our next meeting.
Bro. Jasper has a new car. He got (. new one, he said, because he didn't like the front-end on the old one.
Well, the bowling season is on its way and we have started off by winning the first 3 games. The team is composed of the same fellows we had last year. We have a new captain th'is yea* and is he strict with the team. Harsh mles have been made by him and the team-is ready to hit the top.
The team bowls every Tuesday night at the Bevo Alleys. All the fellows say is that they need more rooters ir\ back of them and they'll go to town.

'twice us large as during the war. On the other hand the buying power of workers in general has fallen nearly 15'i since the OP A was abolished. A good basic setting for a bust. In other words, the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. In the celebration of Labor Day there was nothing to be elated about for various other reasons. As far as organized workers are concerned they have gone through the first year of the Tuft-Hartley Act, conceived and largely written by the NMA (National Manufacturers Association) and passed overwhelmingly by Rcpublocrats.
The purpose of this Act la to cripple and destroy the unions in order that the Big Business will again have a free hand in exploiting and terrorizing the workers, as it once did before they were strongly organized, or as is now exploiting the helpless consumers. If this Act is not repealed or drastically mtxlified the chanoes are it will largely accomplish the purpose for which it was set up. In the first year it has done a good beginning towards this end. it has again brought back the government by injunction in labor disputes as well as other means of union busting and strike-breaking. It is a thorough going measure of police stale in the interest of big business.
It is therefore quite natural that Organized Labor and Its lenders are so perplexed and overwrought and consider it number one measure which must be repealed before it does irrepuruble damage to American workers und the country as such,

There were many red faces in the crowd-—but not from embarrassment. They had been dancing so fast and furiously that they were hotter than a Model T going over the Rockies.
Everyone was dripping wet from perspiration. There was almost a constant line of dancers from the dance floor to the refreshment stands. Once cooled down and refreshed they began returning for another "fling."
A couple of the girls had the right idea—although I don't know how proper It was considered— when they appeared on the dance floor in shorts Well, that's one way to keep cool—but maybe I should say "cooler"— because it's impossible to kee;> cool when you're dancing to Yankovlc's polka«.

I think prettry nearly everyone like» Chocolate Cake, so, today I am passing on a favorite standby of ' mine that has never failed me. Ingredients are:
Mi c shortening
1	c sugar
2	egg yolks
2 squares bitter chocolate melted
14 c cake flout teaspoon salt
I teaspoon soda
1 c sour milk (or make sweet milk sour by adding 2 tcusps vinegar)
I teaspoon vanilla
Cream shortening and sugar, beat in <*gg yolk briskly, Add melu*d chocolate and blend Sift salt, flour and soda together and add to mixture alternately with sour milk. Mix well. Add vanilla and atir thoioughly. Pdur into greased and flOured square or obk;ng pans or two layer pans. Bake in preheated oven at moderate heat '350 degrees) 50 to 60 minutes: Use any plain or colored icing. Tastes very good cut into squares with whipped cream and nuts.
Oddmentt: Well, school has start-ed again and I hope you high school gals haven't been caught with your hems up. That's disastrous with the new look here to stay at least for a good while. Ask mother for advice on what to do about it arid I hope these ideas will help.
There are numerous ways to lengthen a dress or skirt so that it can be worn and still be in fashion. For a plain skirt run a pleated ruffle around the bottom and up the front more to the left; this will give it plenty of length and also a different look especially if you use a striped material. A full gathered skirt can be made longer by simply adding another length of plain material if the skirt has several different colors in it already, just add another.
A dreas can be altered by adding contrasting colored material to the yoke. Rip out the old goods and If length is needed, make the yoke longer. Or inaert a band of contrasting material through the waist. Or rip off the entire top, make new blouae and trim with aalvaged parts of the old top Or you can make a two-piece outfit of a dress wbrth the effort. Rip off the skirt and make a hand at the top, Next add a skirt zipper,
A neat little bolero can be made from dreaa top to be worn over a print blouse. While you are making the print blouae make a sash also; it adds a very dreaay touch to your new outfit. And of course while looking over your wardrobe many more ideas will come to you that cnly needs a beginning.

Return from Chicago —My Impressions
KINGSTON, W. Vo —Yes, country life is still the same; und city life is Just the same, too. Nature never intended to make any immense changes in a particular place. The people must do that. People must jdapt themselves to their environment as we have been taught in in junior high school acience.
This article is nwre or less my )wn answer to Clarence Zaitz's well-worded article that appeared in the Prosveta recently in defense of his life in the West compared to Chicago. I am supporting the big city in this srticle.
Until I have finished my junior year of high school, I had not really noted the huge difference between the various portions of our Uhitdd States. The differences I knew were to be able to recognize the different types of living In the north, went, east, and south (the ones we studied in school). I have lived in the otHdbwest. typ apuOuml a northern state—Illinois, in Chicago. I have traveled in points not farther west than Oklahoma nor farther north than Illinois. My truveling has been limited to about eight states.
1 could never be quoted us an authority on such matters as these. My strongest argument is that I hope Ui live in Chicago, the big Windy City, soon. Dad is up there now working und trying hard to obtain an apartment so that we may join him aoon. I must soy before I start thouoh, that any type of life has its good points and bad points alike.
Here I go. In the south, the weather is unusually hot and humid. The day here la dry und appears lifeless Life is so still here that sometimes you wonder if anything ever stirs until you listen and hear the crickets chirping and the bees | und Insects burring. This Is an enjoyable scene to some people. You may suddenly become drenched with an unexpected shower which will cool you off only to make the heat more unbearable when the shower is over. The nights for me in any part of the country are the | same. It's probubly just my nuture to sleep the night through—I coudn't explain what the weather is like.
I spent two summer months In Chicago -June and July—and enjoyed it. Although Chicago, like the rest of the country, has its heat rpellq. there's always that wonderful breeve ustlrring Sometimes it may even aggravate you by sending i your hair-do In any direction. If J the air wore to ever become too stifling for you. you could easily visit he lake shore and be assured of a qool atmosphere. As for the 1 night, I repeat what 1 have already said.
In the ctly of Chicago, there just couldn't lie any thoughts about | w.neline* Chtcugo ia a very effi- , ftent and husine»alikc place—ever on the move. People of all classes . or types curt he pointed out on the { rtreets, In the far leas populated place« a» the south and west of which I ant., referring, you feel a distinct difference
The people are a very friendly (ype but m a second glance you | notice Ihst people of one «»ccupa-tmn mingle while another group I will aa»otia(e with their own grtmp j You seldom see a farmer, worker or the like visiting or living around someone other than people employed somewhat like them House« here itaually have few tttnvenienee» and tamllle» are constantly busy around iheir home trying to improve up- 1 on R

agement of industry.
Ouyang Tau-jun, leader of the underground labor movement in Shanghai, said there have been 158 strikes in the loot two years as workers fought back "with unbeatable courage," constantly devising new ways of fighting police terror.
In one case Ouyang declared, workers went on a "dumb strike," putting down their tools and refusing to answer any questions. The men won a woge boost without even framing such a demand. This method, Ouyang explained, saves 'workers' leaders because when the men do not have to elect a spokesman, the police have no one to arrest.
Ouyang said Shanghai workers told him to go to Harbin meeting

"Pop, you've got me."
"I thought I did. Behind the Iron Curtain they probably don't even have quiz programo. So there!"
"Pop, I'm devastated. In America one never knows When somebody may win the Irish Sweepstakes, or win a quiz program, or marry the boas' daughter. That's a good begin
to learn how to run industry. 'Then n,nf But What about the Toft-Hort-
when Shanghai is freed, you will be able to direct production," they instructed him.
Chiang Kaishek's Kuomintang tries to stifle all opposition by a highly specialized system of espionage and terror, he continued. Workers have been locked up In cages so small they could not even sit down. A man may be tortured by the medieval methods—water forced into his nose or mouth until his stomach bursts or hung up by his little fingers and toes with a weight on his stomach.
To encourage stoolpigeons, Kuo-mintang-controlled unions have specially trained workers who 'Are paid to spy on others. Spies failing to report their quota of "Communists" are taken off the payroll. When a worker is turned in to Kuomintang authorities, he is seldom seen again, alive or dead.
In the liberated areas of China labor is not only free but helps run affairs, delegates declared. Chen Yun, speaking for unions of Manchuria, . reported that In mines, power plants and factories workers are now holding administrative posts.
Output of coal, copper, iron and steel has risen. Nearly half the cotton mills and about two-thirds of the power plants are back In operation. Industries wrecked by the Japanese are rapidly being restored. 'These tremendous results are due to the new attitude of the workers," Chen Yun remarked.
When Chen Yun finished speaking, a railway workers' delegate declared that more locomotives are in operation in Manchuria today than during the Japanese occupation. In June of this year roads carried four times as much tonnage as In January.
Hailing the fight of workers in Kuomintang areas, delegate« from the liberated areas pledged to give a day's pay "to provide more weapons for workers and students struggling against Chlang-Kaishek."
city, you have the knowledge that regard leas of whether or not you want to do this—the opportunity is right at your door. Entertainment is ao dose to you that you can enjoy it at o moment's thought.
Nature in theae leas populated places has given you your share and more of sunohine. air. and spaciousness Sometimes the youna people especially find themselves wishing they had a little more material convenience and leas nature with which to live.

"Luther! I forbid you to cast reflection On Free Enterprise. We Who own this country think people like you are better off with Quiz Programs than with free trade unions, and if you don't like it you can go back where you come from."
"After November, Pop, we may have free trade unions AND quiz programs. We may run all the Thomases and Rankins and Free Enterprise bootlickers out of Congress. We may have workers' representatives in their place!".
"We won't stand for it, Luther! I'm warning you."

Predsednik Trum» odprl volilno ka
V svojem govoru v Detroitu j« dejal; dk bo zmaga republikancev pri voliitvab prinesla Ljudstvu dobo strahu in polonea
Zborovanje medpot lamentante zveze
Sforza predlagal
Detroit Mich.. 7. sept.—Predsednik Truman je odprl volilno kampanjo z govorom v tem mestu na delavski praznik. Okrog 125,000 se je zbralo na glavnem trgu in ga poslušalo. Pred shodom je bila velika delavska parada.
Šlo ni gladko. Med množico so bili ljudje, ki so nosili napise "Wallace ali vojna" in "Delavci so za Wallacea" ter "Wallace je za delavce".
Truman je dejal, "da bi zmaga republikancev pri volitvah v novembru prinesla ameriškemu ljudstvu dobo strahu in poloma. Taft-Hartleyev zakon ie le prvi okus onega, kar boste dobili, ako bo zmagala republikanska reakcija pri volitvah. Ne samo unije, temveč tudi vsi, ki delajo, so v nevarnosti.
Znamenja se že vidijo. Ako bodo republikanci zmagali in dobili popolno kontrolo nad vlado, bo življenski standard padel. Celo svobodne ustanove in pod-vzetja bodo v nevarnosti."
Truman je rekel, "da bodo delavci, ako se ne bodo udeležili volitev, izdali svoje lastne interese. Demokratska stranka skuša ohraniti pridobitve, katere so delavci izvojevali v zadnjih 15 letih. Republikanci niso znižali cen, temveč udarili po delavcih. Osemdeseti kongres pod kontrolo republikancev je izročil mogočno orožje korporaci-jam v obliki Taft-Hartleyevega zakona. Kritični časi so za delavce. Ako bodo pri volitvah izvolili prijateljski kongres, se bo vse dobro izteklo. V obratnem slučaju ne more biti nobenega upanja."
Predsednik je bil deležen aplavza, ko je izjavil, da ga osemdeseti kongres ni hotel podpirati v prizadevanjih za pobijanje inflacije.
Walter Reuther, predsednik unije združenih avtnih delavcev CIO, je govoril pred nastopom Trumana. Dejal je, da organizirani delavci podpirajo Trumana,
ker je demonstriral pogum s svojo opozicijo proti Taft-Hurtieve-vemu zakonu, in s stališčem glede programa civilnih pravic. Boril se je za kontrolo cen in druge načrte v prilog ljudaWu.
Pred prihodom v Detroit je Truman govoril v Grand Rapid» au. Iz Detroita se je odpeljai v Pontiac, kjer je tudi govoril. Potem je govoril v Flintu pred množico 75,000 ljudi. Truman ni v svojih govorih omenil Thoma-sa E Deweyja, predsedniškega kandidata republikanske stranke, Ignoriral je tudi "rebelne" demokrate v južnih državah.
Na vseli shodih je Truman poudarjal, da je svobodno in močno delavsko gibanje najboljša trdnjava proti komunizmu.

federativne Evrope
London. 7. sept,—Predlog, naj Amerika prevzame poverjeni-štvo Tripolitanije, bivše italijanske kolonije v Afriki, je podprl liberalni tednik The Economist. O vprašanju bodočnosti bivših italijanskih kolonij so razpravljali namestniki zunanjih ministrov štirih velesil v Londonu, a se niso mogli zediniti.
Londonski tednik je komenti ral napovedi opazovalcev, da se štiri velesile ne bodo sporazumele o statusu bivših italijanskih kolonij. Sugerirul je, naj se to vprašanje predloei v rešitev generalni skupščini Združenih narodov. ko se bo sestala na zase-denju v Parizu. Nagla*! je, da so Amerika, Velika Britanija in Francija isvojevale vojni j v Afriki in moral» bi imeti glavno besedo v odločitvi glede bodočnosti kolonij.

Spor v poljski komunistični stranki

Varšava, Poljaka. 7. sept. — Konflikt med Kominformo in maršalom Titom, predsednikom jugoslovanske vlade, je dobil odmev v vrstah poljske komunistične stranke.

Ameriška demokracija dobiva brce
Prošli leden je toliko opevana ameriika demokracija prejela precej hude udarce na jugu in v Ulinoisu. V južnih državah so divjali klanovski diksikrati in razbijali Wallaceve shode, v lili noisu so pa dvostrankarji odločili, da nova progresivna stranka z Wallacem in Taylorjem na čelu ne sme priti na glasovnico pri jesenskih volitvah..	%
Katero izmed teh dejanj je večji udarec po demokraciji, prepuščamo čitateljem. Sicer jm je oboje v skladu s politiko administracije. odnosno državnega departmenta, ki je zadnje dni zopet pokazal, da pojmuje "demokracijo" slično kakor jo pojmujejo kla-novski diksikrati na jugu aii pa dvostrankarski politikaži v Illinoi-su. V mislih imamo odlok državnega departmenta, ki je predzadnji teden odrekel vizo llewlettu Johnson u. "rdečemu" dekanu, kanterhuržkemu iz Anglije, ki je bil angažiran po organizaciji za prijateljstvo s Sovjetsko Rusijo, da v Ameriki poda serijo predavanj. Dekan Hewlett Johnson je znan kot goreč pristaž Rusije. Istočasno pa sir Oswald M<*ley, znani vodja angleških fašistov, ki je bil interniran med vojno, ni imel nobenih težav pri dobavi vize za vstop v Ameriko, da se udeleži konvencije ameriških fašistov pod vodstvom notoričnega Geralda K. Smitha.
V pričo take politike zvezne vlade se torej ni čuditi diksikrat-skemu razbijanju Wallacevih shodov na jugu, kakor tudi ne odloku državne volilne komisije v Ulinoisu, ki je vrgla v koš čer 75,000 podpisov, katere je progresivna stranka v tej državi zbrala z velikimi mukami in še večjimi stroški na svojo nominacijsko peticijo Odlok dvostrankarjev seje glasil, da Wallace in drugi
kandidati te stranke ne smejo priti na glasovnico v tej državi.
★
Ameriška demokracija je s temi dogodki dobila velik udarec tudi v tujini, zlasti širom Evrope, Razbijanje Wallacevih shodov z jajci, paradižniki in nasiljem, ki so ga spremljali tipični fašistični vzkliki, bo gotovo izrabilo vse komuniatično časopisje za propagando proti Ameuki, kakor tudi ameriški "svobodni" tisk in radio Izrabita vse incidente, resnične in fabricirane, za svojo propagando proti komunističnim in levičarskim režimom v Evropi in Rusiji. Prav tako bodo izrabili tudi zanikanje pravice do glasovnice novi progresivni stranki. In sicer ne ssmo komunisti, ampak ob takih novicah morajo zmajevati tudi vsi pristuši zapadne de mokracijc v Evropi in drugie.
To razbijanje Wallacevih shodov po klunovskih diksikratih, kakor tudi zanikanje pravice progi esivcetn do glasovnice, je naravna poskdica velike gonje, ki se razlega proti novemu političnemu gibanju In ilenryju Wallaeeu šilom dežele že mesece. Proti obe ms so nahujskane in zastrupljene nevedne in s predsodki prežete ljudske mase. In sicer vse to na i več po zaslugi psevdolibcralcev patentiranih rusofobov in delavskih loživoditeljev, ki se ne morejo odtrgati od starih kupitalističnih strank. Vsi ti elementi so napravili t kupno fronto s temno reakcijo v gonji proti Wallaeeu in progresivni stranki. Wallucea obrekuiejo kot konfuznega človeka, ki ne ve kaj govori in kot golo orodje Moskve, progresivno stranko pa istovetijo s komunizmom. Vsa ta propaganda gre za pre računar.im ciljem, da se nova Ntiunkn totalno diskredi\iia in ubije piedno se postavi na noge. Motivi teh asortiranih nasprotnikov »o različni, atnpuk končni resultat in cilj je ta, da bodo dvostrankarji in razni laživoditelji lahko se nudalje v kalnem ribarili. Vsa ta politika je vedoma uit nevedoma v prilog Wall Streetu.
Ni čudno, te je Wallace Izmenoma zmajeval z glavo In se čudil nu drugi Strani pit vzkipel svete jeze. ko je stal pred podivjano in od rasnih predsodkov zastrupljeno drhuljo, ki je kričalo nanj in .ga obmetavala / jajci in paradižniki. Ni čudno, uko je dejal, du nc more veijeti, du jt to Amerika, tin je kaj takega mogoče v deže» hVcbode. V tesmcl l»i se človek lahko ru zjoka I in preklinjal one ki so odgovorni za to podivjano*! in zastrupi jen je muse Sicer ku*e. di je Inl ta element v manišini, vendar pa dovolj številen ir nam« n« ms organiziran zn razbijanje shodov. In tu element je danes hrbtenica dcmokrat.-ike stranke tiste stiunke, katero hočejo paevdoliberalci in laživoditelji delavstva s Trumanom na čeli prepieakati v "liberalizem"!

nobene slabe društvene novice. Z nekaj izjem nobeden izfned članov ni preveč v slabem sta- J nju. John Strumbel se je tudi povrnil iz bolnišnice, kjer ga obdržijo vsako leto nekako v avgusta; sedaj se zdravi doma. Vsako leto ga spodbujam, da se naj nič ne boji, ker "koprive po navadi ne pozebejo"; vselej srečno pride nazaj, že po naravi je korajžen fant, moja tolažba pa tudi precej pripomore. Anna Zele se tudi počuti malo bolje.
Na bolniški listi so tudi v tem času: Johnny Sabec, Charles Norick, Jenny Kovacich, bolna je bila tudi Mary Snidersic. Oženil se je naš mladi član George Chuich z Marjorie Alt. Obilo sreče! Pri Johnu in Anni Kerncu so dobili krepkega dečka. katerega smo vpisali v ml. oddelek. Anna je hčerka Lul^a-nikove družine. Ob času plača-nja članarine sta Valentin in Mary Mäher prispevala $6 v tiskovni sklad, $5 je pa pridal tudi njihov sin Anthony Stupar, kar je bilo poslano na Johna Pollocka. Maherjevi so zelo naprednega mišljenja; vsi njihovi sinovi so v SNPJ, kakor tudi njihova mladina. Od tukaj ro jenega Tonyja je pa priznanja vredno, da ima globok čut do slovenskega naroda.
Mary Stark, žena našega Franka Starka, je bila precej časa na počitnicah pri svojem sinu v Omahi, Nebraski. Obiskala je tudi Chicago. Frank ml., kateri spada k našemu društvu, je zelo nadarjen fant v tvoji stroki in ima visoko pozicijo pri Western Electric £o.
Od štv. 397 so prestopili k nam Slobodnikovi iz Crested Butta, starši, Štiri hčerke in sin. Oče Martin je na bolniški listi in želimo mu, da bi se bolje počutil v naši pueblski klimi. Društvo Orel jim kliče: "Dobrodošli!"'.........♦ .......
V	našem mestu smo imeli letno državno razstavo od 23. do 27. avg. Kot zadnja statistika kaže, se bližamo v Pueblu številki 90 tisoč prebivalcev. Radi tega in pa ker so prihajali iz vseh sosednih držav, je bil obširen prostor vsak dan natlačen. Iz Delnverja je pripeljal pose ben vlak zraven drugih tudi vse državne dostojanstvenike, od drugod so prihajale cele karavane avtomobilov in letal, tako, da letošnja udeležba razstave daleč presega vse poprejšnje. Obiskal nas je tudi znani radijski komentator Cedric Foster, kateri je bil navzoč 25. avg. Ko je bil predstavljen velikanski množici, ni dobil toliko aplavdi-ranja kot n. pr. naš governor Lee Knaus ali drugi državni od-ličnjaki. Mogoče je bil vzrok, da ne posluša zadosti ljudi njegovo dnevno komentiranje, mogoče pa tudi, da se ne strinja mo vsi z njegovim sovraštvom Jo progresivne stranke. &e pri banketu, ki "so ga jmeli za te velikaše, je bilo povedano, kako divje je raztresal svoj gnjev proti Wallaeeu, Mogoče ne bo nič pomagulo. • V Denverju so ustanovile ženske klub, kateri bi se imel bojevati proti draginji mesa. Prišlo je 30 žensk na lejo, polovica izmed teh je imela pripete Wallacove "knofe" druga polovica je bila pa tako igorčena radi lega, da se je klub razpustil ravno tam.
V	oddelku mesta, kjer je zra «tel visok zid za razstavo, je vse prenovljeno, vse najmodernejše urejeno. Zrastle so nove stavbe in mnenje zunanjih obiskovalcev je, da se razstava lahko meri z najboljšimi v Zedinjenih državah, m mi smo tako ponoa-ni, da nam nikdo ne pride do ramena Ker je Colorado de-

SEJA DRU&TVA SLA VIJE. PRIREDITEV IN DRUGO
Chlcaffo, 111. — Članstvu društva Slavije naznanjam, da se bo vršila redna mesečna seja v petek, 10. septembra, v spodnji dvorani SNPJ, začetek ob osmih zvečer, asesment pa bom pričel pobirati že ob sedmih, kakor običajno.
Seja bo važna v mnogih ozi-rih. Čas teče in nič ne reče in tako smo z vsakim dnevom bli-
žela "cowboyev" in "cowgirls", se razume, da so bile predstave in "rodeo" nepresegljive.
Naš vrli brat Jankovich nam priporoča v Prosveti, da naj pišemo v prid progresivni stranki. Tone je požrtvovalna duša, deluje kjer more, ne samo za eno ampak za vse koristne stvari in mi z veseljem beremo njegove navdušene dopise. Ampak stvar je taka: Oni, kateri imajo oči odprte, vedo kaj je za njih dobro, vedo če si ne bodo pomagali sami, bomo še vedno videli slike, kot je bila v Prosveti "Children for sale". Videla sem jo par dni popreje v "Trainmen News", samo naši boržuazni listi jo niso ponatisnili od strahu, da se ne bi še kontu oči odprle. Onim, ki pa nočejo viddti, bi bilo dobro povedati, da ne volite za Wallacea, ker mi smo kljubovalen narod. "Kaj," bomo rekli, "kdo bo nas koman-diral, zdaj bomo pa nalašč volili za njega." y Roee Radorich. •

San Francisco, Cal.—Potekla
sta žc skoraj dva meseca, odkar smo v Los Angelesu praznovali californijski dan SNPJ, kateri mi bo ostal v spominu do konca mojega življenja.
Ker sem bila zelo zaposlena, nisem mogla poprej pisati in se zahvaliti vsem, ki so nas tako lepo sprejeli. Vodstvo te lepe priredbe je bilo v rokah društva 615.

PRISPEVEK ZA PROGRESIVNO STRANKO
Manafield. Ohlo.—Društvo Jadransko morje štev. 238 SNPJ. je na apel za pomoč v kampanji za progresivno stranko, sklenilo, da daruje iz svoje male društvene blagajne $10 v ta namen.
Poleg tega so člani našega društva darovali še vsoto $15, in sicer: Michael Zgela $6. en član $2 in sedem članov po $1, sku paj $2A. kar je bilo odposlano na prifttojno mesto.

VABILO NA VESELICO PODRUŽNIC SANSa V DETROITU
Datroit. Mlch. — Sansovi podružnici št. 1 in 108 bosta priredili skupno veselico v soboto, 11, septembra, v Slovenskem na-lodnem domu na John r., začetek ob osmih zvečer.
Dobiček od veselice je namenjen za kritje stroškov delegacije, katera se bo udeležila zborovanja Ameriško slovanskega kongresa, ki se bo vršilo 24., 25. in 26. septembra v Chicagu.
Naša blagajna je prazna, a zborovanje Ameriškega slovanskega kongresa je tako važnega pomena, da ga ne moremo prezreti. Slovani hočemo še enkrat opomniti ameriško javnost, da smo tudi mi veliko pripomg-li pri graditvi današnje Amerike, od Amerike pa ne zahtevamo ničesar drugega, kot da ostane še nadalje demokratična in nam da priliko, da si s poštenostjo slu žimo svoj vsakdanji kruh. Dalje zahtevamo, da naša dežela
ZAPISNIK FEDERACIJE ZA VZHODNI OHIO IN ZAPADNO W. VIRGINIJO
Neffs. O. — Federacijska seja
se je vršila 22. avgusta. Predsednik odpre sejo ob dveh popoldne in pozove vse člane, da vstanejo v znak sožalja za pokojnim Louisom Pavliničem.
Prva točka na dnevnem redu je volitev novega tajnika-blar gajnika. Nominiranih je mnogo, po dolgi debati pa prevzame to mesto Joe Skoff. Prepričani smo, da smo z njim dobili zopet vnetega društvenika, kakor je bil jx>kojni br. Pavlinič. ^ Čestitke, Joe!
Sledi čitanje zapisnika zadnje federacijske seje, ki je sprejet kot čitan.
Nadzorniki poročajo, da so knjige in vse drugo v redu, ali izdatki niso bili vključeni po zadnji seji, zato bodo na drugi seji podali celotno poročilo. Dohodki zadnjega piknika znašajo $179.73, izdatki $164.28. Federa-cijsko premoženje z bondi vred znaša 22. avgusta 1058.24.
Poročila društvenih zastopnikov: Pri društvu Št. 4 ni posebnega napredka, ker je naselbina stara. Za društvo št. 13 poroča Louis Sustaršič, da so precej močni v članstvu in denarju. Mary Potnick, tajnica tega društva, poroča, da sta dva člana umrla, dva pa sta društvo pustila. Zastopniki društva 258 niso navzoči.
Društvo 283 nima posebnega poročila. Za društvo 333 poroča Katie Beurlinsky. Imajo 66 članov, kateri so vsi dobro stoječi, toda novih ne morejo dobiti, ker je njih naselbina stara. Za društvo 407 poroča Fr. Kolenc. Sedaj imamo 150 članov v obeh oddelkih. Pri društvu 562 ni nič novega. • Društvo-628 ni zastopano. Za društvo 640 poroča Louis Gorenc, da so dobiti 15 novih članov, za prihodnjo sejo pa jih imajo zopet sedem. Njih društvo najbolje napreduje v tej okotitt. ^Slrteto društvo poroča tudi Martin Koss in pravi, da njihovo društvo najbrže zato napreduje, ker imajo po vsaki seji nekoliko prigrizka in proste zabave. 1
Na dnevni red pride vprašanje podpore raznim organizacijam. Sprejet je predlog, da se prispeva $25 za progresivno stranko, $5 za obrambo našega naprednega tiska in $5 za slovenski radio-program v Brad-docku, Pa. Nato pride na dnevni red, da se federacijski denar prenese iz Bellaira v Bridgeport.
Dalje je sprejet predlog, da se ne upošteva prošenj društev, ki niso pri federaciji. Tu je še dosti društev, katera se nočejo pridružiti federaciji, torej jim federacija ne more ugoditi njih prošnjam.
Prihodnja federacijska seja se bo vršila v Slovenskem domu v Boydsvillu, in sicer peto nedeljo v mesecu januarju. Ker je dnevni red izčrpan, predsednik še naredi apel, noj se ude ležijo prihodnje seje zastopniki v večjem številu, ker je dovolj prostora za vse, nakar zaključi sejo.	Florian Plehek.

Kaj pa vstopnice? se. da jih vse razprodate. Do sedaj se je najbolj izkazal v prodaji vstopnic naš stari znanec in izredno priden društvenik Frank Bizjak. Dasiravno >4 vstopnina $1, j'h je prodal že 25. Če bi imeli v Chicauu nekaj ducatov takih društvenikov kot je br. Bizjak, pa bi lahko našo veliko vas okrog zasukali!

Narodni dan SNPJ zopet sijajna bratska manifestacija!
Tridnevno slavje obiskalo mnogo tisoč članstva. Milwaučani so prid

je
v Girardu, O.
Chicago, 111__Milwaukee, ki \
je največje mesto v državi Wisconsins ležete ob M ich iranskem jezeru, je bilo ob koncu zadnjega tedna zbirališče tisoče v članov in članic SNPJ, kateri so prihiteli na to važno tridnevno slavje SNPJ iz mnogih slovenskih naselbin. Kakor na prvem povojnem dnevu SNPJ, ki se je vršil lansko leto v Clevelandu, tako je tudi na letošnjem prevladovalo veselo razpoloženje, bratski duh, rokovanje, sre>ča-vanje in obnavljanje prijateljstva itd.
Naši bratje in sestre iz Mil-waukeeja so v splošnem dobro izvedli svojo nalogo in gostoljubno stregli Številnim domačinom in gostom. Seve, kakor pri vseh naših priredbah, tako je padlo glavno delo tudi v Mil-waukeeju na tiste pridne čebe le, društvenike in društvenice, ki so vedno upreženi.
Koliko ljudi se je udeležilo tridnevnega slavja, je težko reči, toda na nedeljski priredbi v Pleasant Valley-parku, z\ a s t i proti večeru, je množica najbrže Štela več ko šest tisoč glav. Udeležba pa bi bila še večja, če ne bi mesto Milwaukee prav pred tem slavjem obiskala, ta nesrečna otroška paraliza ali "polio", katera je strah in trepet vsoh staršev majhnih otrok. Čikaška federacija je imela že najet av-•tobus, v katerem se bi večino ma peljali otroci, člani in članice krožka št. 26, toda smo ga morali vsled te nevarnosti odpovedati. Ta avtobus je imel odpeljati v Milwauke v soboto po poldne. Starejši člani in članice iz Chicaga pa so se odpeljali avtobusom v nedeljo zjutraj, avtobusom so se pripeljali tudi iz Waukegana.
Mnogi člani, zlasti mlajši, so pričeli prihajati v Milwaukee že v četrtek in petek. Prva prired ba se je vršila v soboto zvečer v stari SS Turn-dvorani na W. Na tional ave. Pisec sicer ne more podati točnega poročila o te priredbi, ker ni bil tedaj še Milwaukeeju, povedali pa so mi da je bila na splošno uspešna a bila bi še bolj, če bi milwau ški krožek nastopil v celoti, kot je bilo prvotno zasnovano, a ra di že omenjene bolezni "polio so nastopili na programu le sta rajši člani in članice tega krož ka. Nastopili so tudi trije mil wauški pevski zbori: Naprej, moški zbor Lilija in mladinski zbor Lilije. Kot govornik pa je nastopil ravnatelj mladine Michael Vrhovnik. Da je Mike do-^bro izvršil svojo nalogo, ni treba posebej poudarjati, saj vemo, da so njegovi govori vedno dobro naštudirani in prav tako izvrstno prednašani. Po programu je sledil ples, za katerega je igral Frank Bevsek in njegov orkester. Krožki so razstavili krasna ročna dela, o katerih so se vsi pohvalno izražali. Da je bila ta. večer zelo zaposlena sestra Er-menc, aktivna in zmožna direk torica tamkajšnjega krožka, je razumljivo.
V nedeljo okrog poldne smo se pripeljali iz Chicaga z avtobusom in avtomobili. Pred SS Turn-dvorano so se že zbirali mnogi člani in članice SNPJ Pisec se je najprvo pozdravil z mnogimi CleveJandčani, med njimi s starim prijateljem Jan-kovičem. fcorcem In njegovo ženo, Žagarjevo Almo in Nado ter mnogimi drugimi iz raznih kra jev In mest TVdaJ je že v klu bu Collins-Meyer-Posta odmevala slovenska godba Rudy Pugel, poznani profesionalni kegljač, ne zna samo imenitno kegljati, ampak tudi izborno igra harmoniko,
Popoldne se je vršila glavna priredba tega slsvlja v Pleasant Valley-parku. Po drugi uri so ža prihajali avtomobili iz vseh strani in kmalu je bilo v parku nekaj tisoč ljudi, zvečer pa je bil psrk tako natrpan, da nisi vi del drugega kot glavo pri glavi, vsej tej množici pa so pridno stregli milwauški društveniki jedačo in pijačo Dssiravno je bila to slovenska priredba, je bt lo na ratpolago tudi dosti jagnje tine in čikaška skupina pud vod-
stvom Franka Bizjaka, se je spravila nad njo kot lačni volkovi. Cikažani so naenkrat kupili za $25 te tako znane hrva-
ške delikatese. Glavni kuh pa društva Morning Star 665 SNPJ, je bil pridni društvenik Turk, ki mi je dejal, da je bila njih io-
gometna skupina zelo vesela, ker se je plasirala v končno tekmovanje za prvenstvo, potem pa je bila naravnost presenečena, Ico si je stekla prvenstvo. Lansko leto pa so bili prvaki v tem športu od društva 669 iz Am-bridgea, Pa.
Tudi skupina od društva Wolverines iz Detroita je dobro zapela svojo himno.
Prvenstvo v golfu so si zopet stekli Pennsylvančani. Prvaki so zopet od društva Comet 715
sicer "Me srček boli . . in "Oj zdaj gremo .. Člani tega društva so bili zelo srečni in veseli, saj so odnesli prvenstvo v žo-gometu. Johnny Ujčič, Ujnik
imel okrog sebe velikanski štab žensk.
Nedeljski program ni bil pester, kakor je navadno ob takih prilikah v Clevelandu ali pa v za-padni Plnni, kajti nastopili so samo govorniki, katere sta predstavljala Tony Verbič in France Puncer. V imenu milwauškega župana Zeidlerja, kateri se vsled odsotnosti iz mesta ni mogel ude-ležiti, je pozdravil navzoče neki alderman. Nato je bil predstavljen Mirko Kuhel, ki je govoril angleščini. Mirko je sestavil izvrsten času in priliki primeren govor, katerega je čital. Žel e veliko odobravanje.
Br. Puncer je nato predstavil 'večnega popotnika" Jankoviča, ki je navzoče pozdravil v imenu clevelandske federacije, in podpisanega, ki je spregovoril nekaj besed v imenu čikaške federacije. Za njima je nastopil gl. pred sednik SNPJ Vincent Cainkar. Cainkarja smo že mnogokrat slišali, a to pot je prekosil samega sebe. Govoril je zanosno in dramatično prikazal delo SNPJ.
V Milwaukee je ob tej priliki prihitelo poleg mnogih zunanjih članov in članic tudi več glavnih odbornikov, in sicer že imenovani Vincent Cainkar, Mirko Kuhel in M. Vrhovnik, dalje Ray Travnik iz Detroita, Michael Kumer iz zapadne Penne, Tone Garden, Fred Vider, Frank Zaitz, Anton Trojar in Donald Lotrich iz Chicaga. Po programu sta za številne

NAZNANILO SEJE DRUŠTVA 53 SNPJ
Clevaland. O.—-Članstvu društva V boj 53 SNPJ na znanje,
dru-v društveni dvorani, začetek ob pol desetih dopoldne.	«
Bratje in sestre, dolžnost vsega članstva je, da se po možnosti udeležuje seje. Zadnjih ne kaj let se udeležuje seje približno 5 odstotkov od 638 čla nov. Moja želja je, da bi se u-deležba zvišala vsaj na 15'J, posebno kadar je na dnevnem redu kaj važnega. To pot bo pre-čitano zanimivo pismo urednika Prosvete. Dolžnost članstva je, da ga sliši, kakor tudi drugo plat zvona.
Prijatelj, doma od Svetega Duha, me je povabil v dopisu, da' se lahko udeležim dneva SNPJ v Milwaukeeju. Da, lahko! Ker pa se nisem, bi lahko navedel tudi vzroke. Eden teh vzrokov je, da me je dalo Mil

DESETLETNICA
ML. KROŽKA V KANSASU
Arma, Kanaas.—Ko smo pred
10	leti ustanovili ml. krožek št.
11	v Edisonu, sem čul opazke od skeptičnih ljudi, češ, "ideja je sicer dobra, toda ne bo dolgo, ko bo vse skupaj zaspalo, kot je že marsikaj podobnega." Je resnica, da je veliko laže ustanoviti krožek, kot pa ga potem obdržati skupaj in skrbeti, da ostane aktiven in da služi svojemu namenu. Da je to resnica, se je pokazalo že marsikje.
Ko se ozremo nazaj v deset-etno delo tega krožka, lahko z zadovoljstvom ugotovimo, da je bil vsa leta več ali manj aktiven. Nobenkrat ni bil v nevarnosti, da postane pasiven, aH da bi se razpustil.
Ker je krožek pod kontrolo kansaške^ federacije, je ta vsa leta z zanimanjem sledila njego-vjm aktivnostim. Na vsaki fe-deracijski seji je bil zastopan tudi krožek, ali po svojih, mladih odbornikih ali pa po voditelju. In federaciji se mora dati priznanje, da se je zavedala važnosti teh krožkov za jednoto. Zatorej je vselej, kadar je bilo potrebno, nudila desetak ali dva iz svoje blagajne krožku v po moč. Zraven so pa tudi starejši člani v splošnem radi posečali krožkove priredbe in po svoji moči žrtvovali iz svojegs žepa.
V teku deaet let se je pri krožku mnogo spremenilo Prvi aktivni člani imajo danes sami svoje družine V veliki večini so prestopili v odrasli oddelek in ostali zvesti člani SNPJ.
Krožek Je danes pod sposobnim vodstvom sester Langford in Janezic. In da tako pomembni dogodek kot je 10-letnica, ne bo šel tieopaženo mimo nas, smo sklenili primerno proslaviti to deaet letnico, Vršila se bo v nedeljo popoldne, 10. oktobra, v dvorani v Franklinu Vljudno torej vabimo vse bližnje in dalj-
ne člsne SNPJ, da pridete na to priredbo. Vabimo tudi tiste prve aktivne krožkove člane, da pridete na desetletnico kot gost je krožka, za katerega ste s takim navdušenjem delali prva leta. Vabimo prvo voditeljico Mary Shular, ki Se vedno pod-učuje višjo šolo pri Kansas Cltyju, dalje prvega predsednika Henryja Jelochana, prvo pod predsednico Mary Nollman iz Chicaga in v vseh desetih letih najaktivnejšo prvo tajnico Olgo Knapich-Shalin lz New Yorka; vabimo Joea, Frances in Lucille Kumer, In seveda prvega "harmonikarja" Johna Zlberta, ki je vedno skrbel, da so bile krožkove seje tudi žive in zabavne. Imena vseh nekdanjih aktivnih članov seveda ne moremo omenjati, dasi bi zaslužili, da se jih
fUDI V KANADO PRIHAJA JO SLOVENSKI UBEŽNIKI
Toronto. Kanada.—"Dragi ml slovenski rojak!"
S tem naslovom se je letolfnje ga julija v St. Catharlnesu, Ont. pojavil po slovenskih hišah le tak, ki je bil po pošt* pmrtan tu di v Tot-ontór V tem letakü se pričetek glasi takole:
"Kot slovenski duhovnik, šele pred nedavnim došel v Kanado in za stalno dodeljen katolišk nadškofiji v Torontu, Ontario se obračam na Vas s posebnim apelom."
1)	V tem letaku se nadalje bere, da "kanadski Slovenci so bili doslej deloma po naši (kar pomeni njegovi ali njihovi) kriv di, deloma pa po sili razmer verskem, duhovnem in prosvet nem oziru prepuščeni samim sebi."
V tem apelu se urgirá na ka nadske Slovence, "da bi se v slo venski cerkvi v Vlnelandu pri kanadaki Mariji Pomagaj s Bre sij, ustanovilo svetišče ln du hovno središča, kjer naj bi organiziralo slovensko službo božjo s slovenskim cerkvenim petjem in pridigo.
2)	"Cujem, da so slovenski farmarji, ki so bili vedno steber slovenskega nOroda, zgradili li čen "Slovenski farmarski dom
J*mas S. Killen, podprodaed
nik unije Pulp Sulphite k Pa« permit I ADF. ki Je realgnirsl kol delavaki svetovalec gen. Mac Arthurja aa Japonskem, ker le slednji prepovedal kolektivna pogalanla In atavke vsem Japon skim vladnim delavcem.
Od svoje strani bi imel predlog d/se slovenski farmarji, možj ln žene ter slovenska mladina v teh krajih, povežejo med seboj tudi organizatorično. Ni dovolj le Slovenski dom, temu mrtvemu poslopju je potrebno vliti tudi dušo, da bo postal Sloven ski dom kulturno svetišče, kot naj bi bila ceikev v Vlnelandu duhovno svetišče kanadskih Slovencev."
(Naj obenem tukaj pripom-nim, da je bil ta slovenski u-bežnik rev. dr Janko Pajk, kateri je ta letak podpisal, sam prisoten In Imel nekakšen nagovor pri otvoritvi doma. kot sem čital pred nedavnim v dopisu iz Heamsvilles v listu Jedinstvo )
st varili nost."
V tem letaku se njih pomllu-je kot žrtve že od lata 1941 pro-tinarodnega, nedemokratičnega in brezbožnega režima v današnji Sloveniji. Poleg tega navaja še veliko samih "lepih besed", katere so zmožni izgovarjati samo tisti, ki so se učili te "prakse", kot ta slovenski "doktor", rev. J. Pajk, (ki je od svojega naroda pribežal sem v Kanado).
Mi smo že večkrat čitall in slišali o raznih "gospodih" in doktorjih"—o njihovem obnašanju in "pomaganju" narodu v njegovi največji stiski za časa ljudske borbe, s katero se je hotelo ljudstvo osvoboditi vseh vrst izkoriščevalcev in v kateri je bilo na milijone nedolžnih in poštenih ludi uničenih. Poznamo precej-nje število "doktorjev", ki niso voj narod v njegovi največji stiski ne samo zapustili, ampak ga izročali največjemu njegovemu sovražniku—fašizmu! Za primer naj nam bo saijno prevsvišeni g. dr. G. Rožman, škof ljubljanski, ki se sedaj kot! begunec nahaja nekje v U. S. A. Njega smo že tudi videli na sliki, ki je bila prlneftana v listu "Edinosti" in raznih drugih čanopisih, kako se pozdravljal in v roko segal italijanskemu fašističnemu krvniku civilnemu komisarju Kml-ju Graziollju, na drugi sliki »a z Rosnerjem, glavnim krvnl-tom slovenskegu naroda. On, škof dr. Rožman, ni ob najtež-em Času slovenskega naroda v njegovi borbi zavzel pot Kalva-rije, kot Jo Je moral narod ln kakor so jo vsi ostali resnični jubitelji svojega naroda, kakor n. pr. škofov tajnik Metod Ml-cuž in veliko drugih poštenih duhovnikov in slovenskih inteli gentov, Toda škof Rožman se Je aostavil na okupatorjevo stran na stran Italijanskih in nemških krvnikov slovenskega naroda, česar ne more zatajiti. Zatorej se nam nI čuditi, da ljudje njegovega tipa nimajo čiste in po Štene vesti pred svojim lastnim narodom ln so morali vsled tega z okupatorjem vred bežati lz rojstne grude svojega naroda Vsa svobodno misleča Javnost obsoja take ljudi, kot so razn ubežniki, po večini protinarodnl , Irmcntjf in Iiepi ijatelJI svojega naroda.
Kakor se Člta v letaku, ta du hovnlk di. Pajk nagovarja slovenske farmarje v okolici St Čatharlnesa, naj oni kolikor mo g oče takih slovenskih ubežnikov sprejmejo ln Jim gredo vsepo vsod na roko, ker so to "sloven ski delavci, kmečki sinovi in in telektualcl", kateri bi tukaj kratkem času farmarje ln druge Slovence organizirali n« "pro svetnem In drugem polju".
Jaz mislim, če so ti begunci ta ko "dragoceni delavci" za na rod, so imeli največ prilike to pokazati v času borbe in se skup no s puško v roki z narodom bo rili za njegovo osvobojenje Kakor on navaja, so to po njegovem mišljenju žrtve tujih osvajalcev slovenske zemlja. Po mojem mnenju so on, dr. Pajk in ostali ubežniki bežali iz svoje rojstne grude s tistimi, katere on omenja v njegovem letaku osvajalce slovenske zemlje,
Torej take ljudi on priporoča nsšim rojakom farmarjem, da bodo ti njegovega tipa "prosvet-no-kulturni In dragoceni delavci" ustvarili v kratkem času organizatorično skupnost. Osebno verjamem, da bi ta "doktor" z njegovimi "kulturno dragoceni-ml delavci" hitro ustvaril to njegovo organizatorično skupnost, ako bi naši rojaki farmarji brez pomisleka nasedli' v njegove motne mreže, kar pa ne verjamem . Ce so si znali naši rojaki sami ustanoviti svoj dom. s svojim poštenim delom, bi e/ takih lahko-kruharjev, mislim, da se bodo znali tudi v bodoče pravil-no ravnati brez teh narodnih ubežnikov, ki so tako reko/ včeraj prišli iz raznih tujih dežel
mo in verujemo, da za nas. priseljence, tudi v kanadski deželi "brez dela ni jela". To naj bi si zapomnili vsi tisti, ki bi radi živeli na račun naših priseljencev v Kanadi.

VELIK SHOD PROGRESIVNE STRANKE V CHICAOU
Chicago.—V torek. 14. septembra, se bo vršil v Chicagu eden največjih političnih shodov v zgodovini tega mesta ali pa katerega drugega.
Progresivna stranka je najela velikanski Wrigley Field, kateri ima prostora sa okrog 40,000 oseb. Na shodu bodo nastopili mnogi prominentni govorniki, kakor tudi Henry Wallace in Glen aylor. Ljubitelji lepega petja bodo zopet Imeli priliko sliša silovitega zamorskega pevca Paula Robesona, kateri bo najprvo govoril, nato pa pel,
Vsi -progresivci bodo ob • tej priliki pokazali, da cenijo moža, Iti se tako pogumno bori za pra vice malega človeka.
Velika večina ameriških Slovencev bo volila za kandidate progresivne stranke, ker je politično dozorela. Prav tako se bomo čikaškl Slovenci udeležili tega shoda v velikem številu.
Na tem mestu naj opozorimo tudi na zborovanje Ameriško slovanskega kongresa, ki se bo vršilo 24., 25. in 26. septembra Chicagu.^ Kakor je bilo že večkrat poudarjeno, bo zborovanje v teh kritičnih časih izredno važno in pomembno, zato Je potrebno, da so na njem zastopana tudi vsa naša podporna in kulturna društva, zlasti s srednjega zapada. Ako slučajno ka tera društva niso prejela uradnega povabila za izvolitev delegatov, naj tega ne smatrajo, da niso vabljena na ta kongres, kajti odbor pač nI imel vseh naslovov na roki. Izvolite svoje delegate vseeno in bodo dobili poverilnlce na zborovanju. Torej ste vsi dobrodošli! v

WHY DID "CARTELS" DESTROY RECORDS NEEDED BY F. T. C.?
Report» Reveal Startling Story of Interna-tional Monopoly Plot, Price Fixing
The Federal Trade Commiaaion recently published two special reports which are startling, not only for the facts they reveal, but also for the questions they raise.
Are big American industrislists. who joined internstionsl "cartels" before the recent war snd helped srm Germany snd Japan for that conflict, again organizing world economic empires, at risk of a Third World War?
Does this help to explain the troubled situation in Germany and the rest of Europe, and the great interest which American Big Business is showing in Japan?
The reports are entitled "International Steel Cartels" and "International Electrical Equipment Cartel." Their significance can be better seen in the light) of a little history.	J
Deceived Wilson
When Woodrow Wilson wss President, large industrialists told him something like this:
"The anti-trust laws are obstructing our export trade, because they forbid us to combine to fbc prices abroad, and divide markets.
"To sell abroad, we have to compete with foreign Big Business They have no anti-trust laws over there. Permit us to form trusts for export trade. Of course, well obey our anti-trust laws at home."
Wilson was a man of high ideals, but he lacked first-hand experience with Big Business men. He took their argument at face value, end asked Congress to pass the requested law.
Warning Cams True
A few members of Congress warned that, if American industrialists were allowed to form trusts for export trade, they would soon be fixing domestic prices and robbing American consumers.
Congress passed the Webb-Po-rrerene law; as Wijson requested and the warnings have come true.
Railroad men will remember one of its sponsors, former Senator At-tlec Pomerene. Ohio Democrat. .
For a time, Pomerene posed as a great liberal, but he turned con-KDicuouslj^ anti-labor after the First World War. The rail unions drove him out of tke Senate and kept him out. Thus they blocked his boorA for the presidency in 1920 and 1924.
Formed New Cartels
AS authorized by the Webb-Pc-mcrcne Act, American Big Business organized "industrial export associations." but did not stop there. The associations promptly joined the very same international cartels
with which they said they wanted to compete. In some cases, the American associations even organized new international cartels.
That was done, one of the reports shows, by the Electrical Apparatus Export Association formed by General Electric and Weating-house, the two giant American electrical equipment manufacturing corporations.
"In 1930, General Electric und Westinghouse representatives met with British, German and Swiss manufacturers and negotiated an international cartel agreement." the report reveals.
Concealed Agreements
Under the Webb-Pomerenc Act. all "export association" agreements were to be filed with the F. T. C., but the electrical cartel concealed almost all its agreements from the commission.
The American companies helped Germany and Japan prepare for war by giving their patents and "know-how" to the foreign manufacturers, and "making substantial investments in foreign plants."
The other report tells how the big American steel companies, led by U. S. Steol and Bethlehem, organized the Steel Export Association. and how it "actively participated tn international steel cartels." which included the monopolists of Britain, Europe and Japan.
The report shows that this steel cartel, like the electrical one. was used to fix prices, divide up markets and kill competition, at home us well as abroad.
When the European war began in 1939, the steel cartel "suspended" and the Steel Export Association "took action to dissolve."
The F. T. C. asked the association to "preserve its records and make them available to the commission." Instead, the association "destroyed its records."
What Are They Hiding?
As a result, the reports says, "complete information is not available" on the secret international agreement signed by the American and foreign members of the steel cartel.	^ f
Thus both the steel and electrical export associations, formed under a law passed by Congress, defied an agency of Uncle Sam and refused to reveal their agreements and records as the law requires.
Surely, there must have been something in those records which American and international Big Business did not want to reveal to the American people.—(Labor)

THEY CHEATED CALLOWS
By HOWARD WATSON AMBRUSTER
Four obscure Americans, sitting as judges at NUrnberg, handed down a decision on July 30 that absolves twenty-three I. G. Farben officials of the charge of plotting war. By this appalling ruling, the court has failed in its duty to render justice, strengthen international law and destroy the seeds of future wars. As if to add Insult to injury, it has coupled its acquittals of the Farben leaders on the war-plotting
III. Progressives "Just Beginning To Fightr
CHICAGO. III.—The decision of state electorikl board to bar Henry Wallace and the Progressive Party from the Illinois ballot is the direct result of a "conspiracy between the Democratic and Republican parties." it was charged by William Miller, State Director, and Zalmon Garfield. Cook County Director, of the Progressive Party.
"This decision is an outrageous and shocking denial of the rights of hundreds of thousands of voters <in IllinoB to express their preference at the polls next November," Garfield said.
"We want the public to know that this electorial board decision in no way affects the Progressive Party's ticket in Cook County. The Progressive Party is a legal party in this county and is at the present time appearing before the state supreme court to assure the placing of its candidates on the ballot."
In commenting on the barring of the Progressive »Iste on the state and national level. Miller said:
"Let there be no misunderstand • ing. The Progressive Psrty s petitions—snd the 75.268 signatures on them—ar; valid and more than satisfy the requirement» of the election Isw.
The barring of the Progressive Party from the bellot in Illinois is simply the result of a direct conspiracy between the Republican and IVmocratic parties.
"We know for a fict that the Democrats got the shock of their lives Ikst week when the results of their own "Gallup Poll" revested that Wallace snd the nat of the Pi ogresstve ticket would receive s vote approaching 20** of the total vote—between 300.000 and 340.000 —m Cook Countv alone
"In rome worktngrlsftft and Negro neighborhoods. Wm- Democratic poll showed Waller leeeiving a- much as 30% of the vote,
"This tremendous potential of Wallace votes is the teasoti why the Democrats snd Republicans have made their unholy alliance to try and kn*e the Progressive Par-ty off the ballot.

Two-Thirds of Mine Safety Violations Uncorrected
WASHINGTO N—(FP)—1Two-thirds of the violations of the federal mine safety code repotted by federal coal mine inspectors during the year ending June 30, 1946, a report by Interior Sec. J. A. Krug admitted Aug. 27.
In Krug's report the point was made that one-third of the violations were corrected and some progress was made in correcting violations in ¡S'X of the remainder. Nevertheless, the fact remains that on the basis of the Interior Dept.'a official statement, two-thirds of the violations needed whple or partial correction.
Behind the dry statistics of the Bureau of Mines report was the fact that what were called "violii-tiona" involved the killing and crippling of coal miners in mine fires, explosions, roof fslls and other mine accidents.
In the course of the year covered by the report, inspectors examined 2,184 mines. From these mines comes an annual production of about 448 mililon tons of coal, the product of 315,000 men,
Krug said that the record of the year showed "that some progress has been made In reducing hazardous conditions in the nation's underground bituminous coal and lig nite mines" But he added that "further emphasis Is necessary to ensure greater safety and to remove the principal causes of accidents."
During the year wsrnings were sent to the governors of 12 states— Alabama. Kansas. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Arkansas. Kentucky. Monta ns, Oklahoma, Tennessee. Vlrginis and Wyoming—thst "disaster hazards csisted or were developing." according to Krug's report
Krug also said that larger mines complied with safety regulation* more resdily than smaller mines
charge with grossly Inadequate gen-' tences—applied only to thirteen of the twenty-throe accused—for Industrial plunder of victim nations and the commission of atrocities, including murder, on slave leborers and captive men. women, and children.
War plotting is a violation of Article 11 of Allied Control Council law number 10. which takes its language from sections of the London Charter of 1945. For many reasons, it wus by far most important indictment brought against the Farben criminals, principally because it gave an opportunity once and for all, to affix the same guilt to "respectable" industrial leaders who abet wars of aggression as to the political and military figures who nominally wage them. The acquittal of the Farben leaders on this count, followed by a similar verdict 1*1* the case of twelve-officials of the Krupp steel combine last April, ends all hope that, out of the war-crimes trials, we can expect a strong international pre-tftdennthat «gouid. nulla* gosh activities.
Briefly, the alibi of the Farben hierarchy wag that its members "didn't know" when and if Hitler would start a war. A forecast in my article in The NaMon on March 20, Farben Naris on Trial—Will They Cheat the Gallows?, the acquittals were based on the same perverse logic that gave freedom, in 1946, to Hjalmar Horace Greely Schacht, 111tier's Finance Minister und apolo. gist, who also "didn't know" that Hitler intended to start a war.
They didn't know! Hut as long as 1934, Winston Churchill drgrrs-tically warned the House of Commons that England should prepare itself against German bombers, and Hitler's aggressive intentions were widely discussed, in America and elsewhere, from the day he assumed power. To ascribe ignorance of the facts of life to (¡erman industrialists, sponsors of an international cartel that produced armaments and chemicals on a wartime scale for half a decade Itofore "hostilities" began, is to abandon one's powers of reason snd ignore mountaing of evidence to the contrary.
The whine that "I didn't know." following its acceptance in the Schscht esse, wss quite clearly swallowed by the Judges in the Krupp trial. "Advance knowledge of Hitler's war plans," these earlier judges said, "was not (proved) against he Krupp officials." adding that "proof that each defendant had actual knowledge of the plans for at least one of the invasions of wars of aggression" wss necessary "In order to find JMm guilty." General Telford TaylotT chief of ihe United States war-fcrtmes prosecution, appealed for a reversal of this ruling with these stinging words: "Under euch an interpretation, a man who joins with and supports , . . gang sters in an undertaking to rob a series of banks rannot lie held criminally responsible unless he knew which pellicular bank would be robbed first ."
munications snd sources of information—could not have failed to realize Hitler's intentions, their stepped-up production schedules and accumulating stock piles were token enough of what was to come. There was also a mass of evidence available to the Juiges, if they had wished to consider it, showing that the men they ware trying had made frequent trips to the United States in the twenties and thirties, seeking, In 'preparation for war-time operations, to influence or control our war Industries, organs of pub-Ue opinion, und certain carefully selected political and governmental figures.
Overwhelming p|«onf that several of the accused had direct knowledge of the rearmament program was also available to the judges. The dossier on Herman Schmitz. organizer and evil genius of the German, Swiss, -and American I. G. Farben companies, reveals' that he was trained in the Kaiser's War Ministry during Woild War I; was a director of Farben's subsidiary aU'ol trust; was an associate of Si Iijh lit in I lie H< ji lr.b.ink; was a Cabinet minister during the Wei-mat Republic; served in Hitler's Reichstag; and was a member -of Hitler's Raw Materials Committee. The record also proves that Schmitz was told by Goering, at a meeting in 193« of high Nazi officials, including the I Ministers of War and Air, that considerations of cost were immaterial when it came to military production. Attending another meeting of industrialists and off! cials in I93fl were twu other de fendants: Carl Karuch, Farben's chairman and Goering's adminlstra tor of chemical production, and Georg von Schnitsler, Farben's espionage chief Von Schnitzler was a brother-in-law of Nazi General Fedor von Rock, and father-in-law of Herbert Sholtz. a leading Gesta po agent who served In the United States as secretsry to the German Ambassador and as Consul General in Boston. Both of these men heard Gooring declare that the sole aim of the four-ycsr-plsn he then proposed was war, and that "if we win, business will be sufficiently compensated" And they heard him add, "We are already at war. All that is lacking is the actual shooting "
Before his trial, von Schnitzler, in an effort to turn some sort of state's evidence, made many admissions of the criminal activities of Farben's leadets and of his own foreknowledge of Hitler's intention to rearm "I must conclude," he once said, "that I G. Farben wss largely responsible for Hitler's policy "
And yet he, haiuch. and Schmitz were classified by the court as "followers. not leaders," snd ss "neither high public officials nor high military leaders" And that judgment, which reduces reasoning to madness, is explained by the court In this fashion: "If we lowei the standard of partlnpsti'in (In war crimes) to Include (the Farben lead ers), It would be difficult to diaw
for this guilt—and a precedent which would vt'arn all future Industrial wai «plotters uf the risks they were tsking—there has now emerged, at Nürnberg, the promise of a new I. G Farbenindustrie, that fabulous organization which, unlike vanquished armies and governments. never surrenders and news dies. Only thirteen of Its leaders were convicted of any crime; the average sentence of those convicted was four years and four months; SchmiU. the arch-criminal, escaped with four years flat. Since he has already been in jail for three years and fuur months, he has but eight months left to serve.
There is a way he could be dealt further—though still insufficient-punishment. At last report, two indictments dating from I94l still stood against him in New York's Federal Court. 8inco they charge him with violation uf anti-trust regulations, they do not place him In double jeopardy with the charges at Nürnberg, if convicted on all counts, l|c would be subject tu three yesrs of imprisonment and $15,000 in fines
There sie also numerous petitions before Congress asking for anl investigation of the conduct of war-crimeg trials at Nürnberg and the manner in which Germany'a industrial war-potential is being dealt with by the Military Government. These petitions, bearing thousands of names from places as far apart as Phoenix, Arli.. Cleveland, and New York City, have all been shuttled over to the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House Rules Committee. To date, those I (iiinmittees hsve ignored repeated» inquiries ss to whst action Congress | proposes to take in respect to the' manner In which lustlce is mocked in NUrnberg.

Puzzled American
UNION CITY, N. J —Yes. today I sm puzzled with the nations) elections that srs just around the cor-ner and so many candidates running. How should 1 know whom to vote lor? Of course, there is the old saying, my father was a Democrat, or s Republicsn, and I follow, the same line. But tlincg are chang-1 ing. Oh yes, today the two old parties can't tell the difference between themselves. How could 1 say auch a thing? Well, did not McGrath, chairman of the Democratic party, prior to the convention auggeat that tho two parties should ask Eisen-however to run on both tickets? So this brings me to think that we have a one party system which I am tare the American public la against and for thia resson I think the time has come where I must switch my vote. A new psrty must arise.
Why I can't vote for Truman? Yea, I voted for FDR. I agree with his policy, but Truman liaa aide-tracked FDR's plans and therefore I must change my vote. Today we hear the two partiea placing the blame un each other for the mesa thy got ua in where both partiea are rcaponsible for It.
Truman'a first step was to replace men in the government who will best serve big money lobbies Ho far there have been about 125 such changes. Among them are 49 bankers, financiers and industriallsta, SI military men. Next he aurrendered to the meat packera and removed controla from llvealuck and meat At that time Truman made the following atatement: "No one Is more] anxious to gel rid of these controla than I." Than he dropped the building material pr^iritlea and the $10,000 limit new homea stating this would increase housing. Well, could an average worker afford a home of this aort? Could majority of out population afford to pay |70 or |M0 a month rent today? Well, thos«- are the homea Truman gave the nation.
Who gave us the Taft-Hartley bill? Not Truman, but did or didn't he keep asking the 79th and 80th Con-grva for antl-atrlke legislation? And ao he succeeded, The bill waa passed by 219 votes of which S7^f were Democratic, Ho here we have the work by both partiea—the lU-pub-I leans wrote the bill, the Democials voted for It.	I
Tiumari makea very good use of thia bill; he is very fast on the strikera but never a word about the operators I recall when FDH was confronted with the coal atrike. he had Ihe opeiators and the union leadera meet snd he made sure they stsyed in gesslon until the decision wss readied Hut Tiumen warned lb« miners if they didn't re turn to work they will be drafted ao I am sure th« miners will well rem«-ml»er Urns« days and th«- same cun la* said of the iallr«Nid and tugboat atnkeia.

Wallace" brings from them applause It la "Franklin Roosevelt". Many readers will have noticed this In political or other meetings they have attended during the first half of '45. The reasons tor this are worth considering by th* leaders of any new American political organization which expects to function successfully in the crucial years ahead
The reasons are not to be found in elaborate economic analysis. The FDR era waa an elaborate economic failure: In '39 there atlll were H or 10 million unemployed. It did not solve the problem 'of low wagea for induatrlal workers, or of low prieea for farmera' producta, Roosevelt personally waa not of the people, but an aristocrat.
Wh|/ the Memory «/ Rooseoell Live« The peopls of today who lived on $40-s-month-WPA,ltooaevelt wagea are.the onea who applaud hla memory with the deepest aineere feelings And they have no use for Harry Tiuinan, who ia administer» ing their $200-a-montk era. Why don't the«« people groan at th* memory of FDR and cheer Truman? Th* answer I* to b* found *t lesat partly in the fact that the Vtooao-velt administration—for whatever reaaonv.recognised the dignity of the individual and invited the peo. pie to psiticipste In snd become* Integrated with the country's aocisl-economic processes.

Few people rest Is* the extent to such a system
vented, for example, the crippling of our vital induatrlal production by the military in wartime.	•
A Strategie Idea for the Progressiv* Party
Tho concept of these committees la the most strstegic single idea available to the Piogrvasiv* Party in th* formation of ita domestic program. It Is the idea which m«y unleash the greateat démocratie force in the U. 8.. aurpsaslng thst of the FDR ers. Ita functlonsl approach la In line with American ih-agmatlam. It is capable of doing away with most of th* Ideological fuaa snd fury.
The Progreaalve Party should conceive during, the present cam* palgn its grand atrategy for putting American people to work on their own »conomio and aocial problema when and If It geta Into offic*. Th* patt*rn for thia may w*ll be a system of watershed or valley or regional authorities blanketing th* country. These authorltiea would go considerably beyond th* concept of th* Tennessee Valley Authority, however, and would be In-atrumenta for regional and local ad> ministration of economic reconstruction
The community—town, city, valley, watershed, region—Is th* focal apot.

If all the members of that Special Session were laid end to end, they would not reach—a comclusion. In fact,* I've heard mutterings that if they were all laid end to end, they ought to be left that way.
Now let's take a good look at the record and see how things stand after the sovereign power of the United States Government has been exhausted in the service of the people.
Take first the inflation problem, the bread and meal question, which to a lot of people Is getting to la* simply bread aipd no meat.
You remember hokv much boa«t-ing there was during the war that prices were not lieing allowed to rlM like they did during the First World War That was true But the postwar story Is «julte different. Right now prices have passed the 1930 peak. And as to profits, they are so t)i|H we no longer have anything to compare them with.
Rut tha worst of theM high prices and high pioflts is that they will inevitably be followed by depression and unemployment and by pressure to put the unemployed into the army. So what did Congress do about it? Did they iMtore price controls while excess taxation sopped up the inflationary money which was created during the war so the cost of the war wouldn't be noticed? They did not. Did they instruct the ado inistration to reach into the Fedrral Reserve portfolio and sell enough securities to sop up the exarsa ciedit created during tho war and whi(h the hanks are still expanding? They did not. They didn't even remind the President and his Federal Reserve Hoard that they already have the power to do just that.
What did they do? They author-ired a piddling change in bank re-Mrve requiirments, and a restoration of the same consumer credit restriction» which were abandoned last November This last wasn't a bad idea, since installment selling of small stuff 1« basically only a substitute for paying adequate wage* and salaries anyhow, but already the administiation has been warned by what pusae« in the Republican Paily foi a progtessive Senator that it had l>ettei gn easy In applying even this mild brake on inflation, or it will turn the boom into s depression.
Both Truman and the Republican majotily in Congresa were »hadow-lioxing with Inflation Nelthei of them is really again»! high pi ice* They are just again»! inflation in !he abstract If Joe Stalin want« in Ration to build up tot a big bust in the U S A . he ought to know by now that he has a lot of very re apeetahle people in Washington do tng his woik for him
If the Republicans were air art which they are not. they would have given Harry Truman blanket powers to light inflation lie wouidn't have used them For the fact is that ll»e boom ha* gone a« far that neither the adminiatratlon nor the Congress wants to tinket with It foi feai that the slightest jor will bring it down aiound their ears.
At Our Expense
Furthermore, the indostialista who finance both parties likr the profit* they .aie getting out of inflation at your expense Their rot pot at ion* are telling up a hug« layer of fat <»ff of which they can live »ell dutfng the depression while the unem ployed go on telief ot get put in th« army by peacetime "Mledive" sort ice Big business is apptoentl* j ¡„ more interested in getting ready for a depression than in preventlnt r»ne General Motors alone is now mak ing profits of more than a million dollars a day, after texe»

They cooperated with the Democrats on the filibuster, because they could have forced a vote if they had tried, and they didn't try. This was a good joke on the Democrats, but it waa a bad joke on democracy.

Many peace-loving Americans, surpsised and disturbed to find USA policy and USA industry concentrating on a program of world-wide rearmament, are confused and bewildered, Why should they be? They are witnessing a.caaual sequence which leads monopoly capitalism from butter to guns; from food to bombing planes; from the instruments of production to thoM of destruction.

I WALL STREET AND YOU ~
By THE ECONOMIST
Trusts Tsklng Over U. S. Economy
Giant corporations have beet) using their war and postwar superprofits to buy out smaller competing firms. The merger movement has reached such proportions that the Federal Trade Commiulon in a recent survey warned that if this trend towards economic concentration is not chocked, the trusts will ultimately take over the entire economy.
According to the FTC, more than 2,450 formerly independent manufacturing and mining firms have been swallowed up by corporate giants since 1940. These independents hsd assets worth $5.2 billion, or more than 5% of the total amets of .all manufacturing corporations in the country.
The monopolies are able to evade the anti-trust laws because of a loophole in the legislation which permits to purchase the assets rather than the stock of competing firms. This loophole has rendered the Clayton anti-trust act a "virtual nullity" in the opinion of the FTC.	1 "
For yesrs the FTC has pleaded with / Congress to close this loophole. In both the 79th and BOth Congresses legisjation was introduced in both hfniMs designed to block monopolistic merges. Bat the legislation was pigeonholed and never reached the floor of either the Senate or Houm.
The FTC pointed out that this loophole "encourages the achieve-

Thus the paradox is presented that the more effective the enforcement of the law against collusion among com-1 petitors, the greater is the incen-l tive to achieve the same objectives through purchase, consolidation und merger."
A case history illustrates this point. Back in 1937 the FTC issued a complaint against monopol- j istiC basing point price-methods In the cement industry. In 1948 the' U. S. Supreme Court finally upheld the validity of the FTC's or der. But here is what had hap pened in the meantime.
In 1937. the five infMt eemefcx
companies accounted for 39% of national production and the 10 largest for 55%. By 1945 the five largest companies controlled 44% of national production and the 10 largest over 60%. The Supreme Court's decision was thus largely nullified in advance, since the big companies no longer had to con* spire with smaller ones to fix prices. By buying out their smaller rivals, they can now charge monopoly prices without being liable to anti-trust prosecution.
Super-Profits Behind tho Drive
The merger movement has been fed by super-profits. They provide the monopolies with the means for absorbing their competitors. The FTC noted that at the end of June 1947. the 78 largest manufacturing corporations had sufficient net working capital to buy up the assets of some 50.000 manufacturing corporations with leu than $1 million in assets each, representing more than 90% of all manufacturing corporations in the U. S.
The merger movement turned sharply upward after the end /of the war and continued at a rela lively high level through 1947. In the final quarter of 1947, more merges were reported than in any fourth quarter—with the exception of the final quarter of 1948—aince 1930. The wave of mergers has been superimposed upon the high plateau of economic concentration which prevailed in the country even before I he war.
The FTC at reused that the pre-ponderent number of firms have been taken over by the very largest corporations Nearly one-third of the merged firm« have been absorbed by corporations with asMta $50 million. Another
Given the aMumptions of an acquisitive, competitive social order, there is no escape from this sequence.
An economy based on acquisition pours into the pockets of its owners and masters a volume* of profit much of which cannot find its way into the consumer goods or cspitsl goods market. Profit accumulations speedily glut the market unleM they can be converted into non-economic forms. The easiest way to achieve this result is to paM them through the channel of government borrowing or of taxation and spend them for the expansion of non-productive bureaucratic activities. The most obvious and most readily acceptable type of government spending is "national defenM".
USA economic and political patterns are following this oft-repeated casual Mquence. While it wm possible to dispose of accumulating profit surpluses by investing them in homeland mines, factories, ('ail-roads and office buildings, the United States had a small military force und followed isolationist policies. With the rapid growth of profit accumulation since around 1910, the United States has completely reversed its position and is now exporting manufactured goods and capital, maintaining the most extensive military establishment in the world, exporting wholesale quantities of armaments and lending or giving them to "friendly" nations, namely, those who will agree to use them for the furtherance of USA interests and policies.
men under arms, and spending billions on military equipmet, because in no other way can a profit economy. in its trust or monopoly stage, avoid chronic depreMion (partial economic paralysis). The greater the profit accumulation, the more general the economic paralysis. This is the reason why the USA, whose businewmen are accumulating more profit than the busineMmen of any other country, is spending more on arms than any other country.
Hitltr, Mussolini and Hirohito are thus vindicated. They and their followers trod the thorny path of armament, aggreMion and war because the busineM oligarchs who ruled Germany, Italy and Japan, were compelled to turn from production to destruction as the only means of keeping their monopoly capitalist economies operating. Truman, Marshall and the busineM oligarchs who make policy in the United States are following the same thorny path of armament, aggression and war because the system of monopoly capitalism which they support leaves them no choice. Despite the expansion of .their facilities, they cannot maintain maximum productivity and full employment because their system is designed for only one supreme purpose: to make rich men richer.
"But cannot they learn?" urges the goodhearted, hopeful, liberal suporter of the NAM brand of "free enterprise."
No, they can no more l^arn than the 18th century French landlords
The wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45 or the 19th century slave owners in were, in large part, expressions of the Deep South could learn. All the casual sequence which compels three groups were the beneficiaries the profit accumulator to follow an and victims oL an irrational, preda-expansionist policy.

THOUGHT CONTROL BY THE A.M.A.
The American Medical Assn. has become prosperous and powerful laigely on the incom£ from the advertising in its Journal. It follows the lead of big business, and employs the methods of propaganda so well developed during the past decades.
The AMA has. in fact, become big busineM, and in many of its ideological battles has allied itMlf with the large drug manufacturers and with organizations such as the Natl. Ann. of Manufacturers.
A cardinal principle hM been to stifle free speech. The Journal of the AMA practically never admits articles or even correspondence that expreM views counter to the official policy of the AMA.
Indeed It has established this as official policy, for we read in the Journal: "Once the Houm of Delegates has spoken, its actions should be supported by the united voice of American Medicine, so that it may be heard consideration."
These are but a few examples which'could be multiplied. One need only look through the pages of the AMA Journal, as well as the Journals of the States and County societies to learn that with a very few admirable exceptions, no material and no correspondence is printed that differs from AMA doctrine. The most recent fragrant example Is connected with the Rich report.
The trustees of the AMA employed Rsymond Rich as a public relations expert to study the organization, and make a report to the society, on how the AMA might
improve its public relations. This with inspect and report was withheld even from the > Houm of Delegates for six months. In 1938 the Council of the N. Y. Then it was copyrighted to pro-Medical Society propoMd to amend vent reprinting any port of it. The the by-laws of the State society to detailed date presented by Rich the effect that "The component have never been revealed to the county medical societies, their of- membership

Some years ago the Houm of Delegates of the AMA. by reoolu* Ron. censured the American College of Burgeons for propoaing a prepayment plan for medical care. When Dr J. H Mean« wrote i letter to the Journal In protest, it wm refuaod publication by the board of trustee« of the AMA who wrote him. "It doe« not seem desirable to publish your communication ad-dreoood to the Journal "
When the Committee of Physicians for the Improvement of Med fcel Care wiahed to publish a statement in the Journal, this wm denied them until they insisted on and obtained a hearing before the board of trustees, and then one statement wm printed.
disparage plans and activities that would alter the preMnt economic Mtup in medicine. It has overshot the mark to such a degree that on more than one occasion an official of the British Medical Assn wrote letters of protest and correction of falM statements about British health , insurance that had been published in the AMA Journal v	' —(FP)
