Naznanilo pravi, da hoče Velika Britanija kupiti vsa previšna živila od Jugoslavije v prihodnjih petih ali desetih letih. Zadevna pogajanja so se vršila v Belgradu, ko se je tam mu dil britski letalski minister Philip Noel-Baker. Uradno je sled nji dospel v jugoslovansko prestolnico z namenom, da odpre razstavo britaklh knjig tamkaj. To je bila le pretveza in poteza za važnejšo misijo. Noel-Baker je imel razogovo-re z maršalom Titom in drugimi člani jugosloyanske vlade. Predlagal je aklenitev trgovinskega dogovori, na čigar podlagi naj bi Jugoalavija izvažala v Veliko Britanijo previšno meso, pšenico in druga živila. Tito je orisal pogoje glede sklenitve dogovora. Glavna pogoja sta: Zadovoljiva izravnava glede odškodnine, katero zahteva Velika Britanija za svojo lastnino v Jugoslaviji, ki je bila podržavljena. Ta uključuje rudnike cinka, svinca in bakra v Jugoslaviji. Tito je zahteval od Velike Britanije izročitev Jugoslovan skih zločincev, ki so v Italiji in britskih okupacijskih conah v Nemčiji in Avstriji. Ako bo Velika Britanija sprejela pogoja, bo trgovinski dogovar podpisan med državama.

London. 24. jun.—Anglija in Francija sta »sprejeli rusko sugestijo, da se prične konferenca zunanjih ministrov teh treh držav 27. junija v Parizu. Ta konferenca je sklicana na pobudo Be v Ina ln Bldaulta, zunanjih ministrov Anglije ln Francije, da se s predstavniki Kusije pogovore o načrtu za ameriško finančno pomoč za rekonstrukcijo Çvrope v smislu sugestije državnega tajnika Marshalla, katero je podal v svojem govoru 5. jun. na Harvardskl univerzi. Te dni se mudi v Londonu ameriški državni podtajnik za ekonomske zadeve William Clayton, kl se vrača lz Wash-ingtona v Ženevo, Švica, na svetovno ekonomsko konferen co. Pred svojim odhodom iz Washlngtona je dobil navodila od svojega predstojnika Mar shalla glede tega ameriškega na črta. V Londonu se Je že posvetoval z ameriškim poslani kom, zdaj pa bo konferiral i predstavniki angleike vlade. Po prejemu ruskega odziva je Bevin izjavil, da pričakuje "do brega rezultata od te konferen ce" zunanjih ministrov, Toda objektivni opazovalci mednarodnega trenja in visoke politi ke niso tako optimistični. Sploh je pričakovati, da se bo na tej konferenci zopet obnovi' boj Um, kjer se je končal na iadn}l moskovski konferenci. Kolikor je snano, teti najnovejši ameriški načrt glede finančne pomoči Evropi za tem, da se Nemčijo čim prej postavi gospodarsko na noge, predvsem njeno industrijsko središče Po-rurje. Rusija temu najbrže ne bo nasprotovala, toda bo zahtevala (1) besedo pri ntdzorova nju Porurja ln (2) reparacije iz tekoče nemške produkcije. To pomeni, da Amerika ne bo pristala na take pogoje, kajti nI skoraj upanja, da bi sedanji a merlškl kongres hoUft dovoliti kskšno vsoto za to, da bi Rusija lahko prejemala reparacije Iz Nemčije. Na drugi strani pa je Francija odločno proti temu, da bi Po- rurje zopet postalo to, kar je )ilo pred vojno: središče nemške težke industrije. Francija se namreč /boji, da bi Porurje zopet postalo hrbtenica nemškega oboroževanja in militarizma. Zato tudi ne bo pristala na tak-mo rehabilitacijo Porurja, ka-cršni so naklonjeni mogočni a-meriškl kapitalistični Interesi, ki so proti vsaki socializaciji ln žele zopet razviti nemški kapitalizem ln usmeriti porurskl industrijski potencial proti—Ru-slji. Budimpešta. Ogrska.—Ogrska vlada je obdolžila Ameriko, da e obljubila direktno finančno x)moč ogrskim zarotnikom in da je angleška vlada rabila zarotnike v špionaži proti ogrski vladi. Te obdolžitve so navedene v "beli knjigi," ki jo je izdala ogrska vlada. Dokument ogsske vlade citira zarotnika Ferenca Kovacsa, ki je razkril detajle zarote po aretaciji. V dokumentu je rečeno, da je Lazsio Ecker-Racz, ameriški trgovinski svetovalec v Budimpešti, obljubil finančno 9omoč bivšemu premirju Fe-rencu Nagyju, ki Je resigniral in se sedsj nahaja v Združenih državah. Nagy je pobegnil v Švico in od Um v Ameriko. Ferencc Kovacs, ki Je bil o-sebni Ujnik premierjs Nagvja, je izpovedal, da mu Je Nagy naročil, naj izkaže posebno naklonjenost Ecker Razclju zato, ker je obljubil, da bo Nagyja podprl z denarjem pri prihodnjih volitvah, da se bo vzdržala na krmilu ogrske vlade stranka malih posestnikov. Ecker-Racz je bil prideljen smeriškemu poslaništvu v Budimpešti. Kovacsevo izjsvo o zaroti je podprl njegov osebni policijski strsžntk Miloš Jsrmay, kl Je tudi bil sretiran. Dejal je, da je bil v službi britskih častnikov, katerim je dajal informacije policijski orgsnlzeciji v Budim pešti in v provincah. Člani policije so bili zapleteni v politično saroto. kl Je delovala, da vrposUvi fašistično vlado na Ogrskem. V zaroto je bil zapleten tudi Laszlo Jekelyi, ogrski poslanik v Belgiji in Nizozemski, ki je po rszkritju zsroU resigniral In pobegnil v Švico, sedaj pa je na varnem v Ameriki. ZolUn Tildy, predsednik Ogrske, je ostal na avojem mestu in se nahaja na počitnicah pri Blatnem Jezeru. Tlldy Je Izjavil, da Je že pred dvema mese cema prišel na sled gotovim mahlnacijam poslanika Jekelyl-ja in da mu od Ukrat ni več zaupal. V zaroto so bile zspletene tudi druge osebnosti v vladi in zunsj vlade, kajti vedele so, da stojlu zs njimi Amerika in Anglija. Istočasno Je ogrsk» vleds obdolžila britsko vUdo, da je Iz delala načrt za vzposUviUv habsburške dinastija na Ogr-akem. Vsled tega je premier Negy organiziral Ujno armado ki bi pomagala pri resUvrlra nju dinastije. Načrt je bil izde lan leU 1045. Britski načrt je tudi predvideval, de Habsbur žanl zopet zavladajo nad Ogr sko ln Avstrijo. Bele knjiga ogrske vlade za vzema 150 strani dokumentira ne evidence. Pogajanja med britsko Ujno agencijo in ogrskimi zarotniki za vzposUviUv habsburfke dlnsstlje v Avstriji in na Ogrskem so se vršila v septembru 1945 sedem mesecev po okupeciji Budimpešte po sov jetskih četah. Vladni dokumen U izpričujejo, da je bivši premier Najjr hotel napraviti Iz Ogrske "ekoo/msko in politično Eksplozija ladje ubila več oseb Požar olja napravil veliko ikodo bazo ameriške vlade v Jugovzhodni Evropi."

Lawndale Ava* Chicago 23. Illinois = asovi iz naših naselbin Sanje, ki so izhlapele Ko je Hitler pričel s svojim krvavim karnevalom in vrgel narode v drugi svetovni požar, v katerega je bila neizbežno potegnjena tudi Amerika, smo v tisti veliki debpti pred "lend-ieasom" in Pearl Harborjem veliko slišali, da mora tudi ta dežela prispevati svej delež—seveda "short of war"—za zdrobitev ndhi-škega in pozneje japonskega militarizma. Takrat je bilo mnogo naglašahja, da je militarizem največje zlo človeštva, slehernega naroda In civilizacije, kajti militarizem je glavni netilec vojne. In dokler militarizem ne bo strt, toliko časa bo tudi obstajala vojna nevarnost. Zato se mora tudi Ame nka oborožiti do zob in pomagati zadaviti to veliko zlo in ga spraviti s sveta. Argument je tudi bil, ako Amerika vtakne svojo glavo v pesek in dovoli zmago Hitlerju, tedaj bo tudi ona prisiljena postati "velika oborožena kempa". S porazom nadjske Nemčije in enako militaristične Japonske se bo ta dežela z vsem ostalim svetom lahko oddahnila in spremenila orožje v pluge. S tem se bo obvarovala pred ogromnimi oboroževalnimi stroški, ki bi jih morala nositi v primeri Hitlerjeve in sploh osišče zmage. Z drugo besedo, vojna ni bila samo proti fašizmu, marveč enako tudi proti militarizmu, kajti oba sta si dvojčka. Proti tem argumentom ni mogel nihče nastopiti, kajti njih logika je bila na dlani. Jasno je bilo lahko vsakemu, da bi se v primeri nacijske zmage morala tudi ta dežela oborožiti do zob in se oprijeti militarizma, kajti Hitlerjev imperialistični pohlep po svetovni nadvladi z oboroženo silo ni bil v realmu praznih sanj, marveč je bil bistvo nacizma. Z ene strani hitlerizem, z druge strani japonski oboroženi imperializem. Svet bi ječal pod železno peto, kakršne ne pozna noben zgodovinar. Ko bo Hitler s svojim osiščem vred poražen, se bo odvalil od srce velik kamen slehernemu Človekoljubu, svobodoljubu, pra-vldoljubu in miroljubu. Vsaj tako smo med vojno pričakovali in sanjali. Prav tako smo tudi sanjali, da bo po vojni militarizma konec širom sveU, kajti sovražnik bo tako uničen, da po-tažene dežele sploh ne bodo mogle več sanjati o militarizmu. Bili smo sigurni, da jim zmagovalci tega ne bodo dovolili za dolgo dobo, ln sicer v svojem lastnem interesu ter Interesu svetovnega miru. Narodi se bodo povezali v novi svetovni organizaciji, krepkejši in trdnejši od zatonjene Lige narodov, osnovali fiistem kolektivne zaščite svetovnega miru in spremenili orožje v pluge. Tako je marsikdo sanjal ln po svojih močeh deloval za zmago nad kletim sovražnikom, ki v barbarstvu ln sadizmu ni poznal meje. To je bilo takrat, ko so v tej deželi in Širom zavezniškega trota valovale Willkiejeve ideje o "enotnem svetu" in ko so se tudi največji konservativci in kapitalisti divili hrabri rdeči armadi, občudovili ruske narode in Titove herojske partizane ter delovali, kako bi jim čim hitreje in izdatneje olajšali neizmerno Golgoto. Tako je tudi izgledalo, dokler nam je tekla voda v grlo ... Po zmagi bo militarizmu konec enkrat za vselej in svet se bo končno lahko oddahnil pred možnostmi nove vojne . . . Zaživel bo svobodno v bratskem sožitju narodov . . . Svoje spore bo reševal okrog konferenčnih miz, v skrajni potrebi tudi pred mednarodnim sodiščem—nič več z orožjem, kajti moderno orožje danas lahko pomeni pogin civilizaeije . . . Zavladal bo zakon, ki bo napravil konec džungelskemu barbarizmu . . . Človek se bo končno civiliziral in zavrgel militarizem, kajti slednji mu prinaŠu le suženjstvo in pogin . . . DRUŠTVO NAPREJ 5 SNPJ PRIREJA PIKNIK Cleveland. Ohio. — Članstvo društva Naprej št. 5 SNPJ je na seji sklenilo, da se po dolgem času zopet priredi piknik na naši farmi SNPJ na Heat rd., južno od Chardon rd., in sicer v nedeljo, 29. junijs 1947. Naročilo se je bus od Cleveland Transit Sistems, ki bo odpeljsl izpred Slovenskegs narodnega doma na St. Clair ave. točno ob eni popoldne in se ustavi crt> 1:15 pred Slovenskim delavskim domom na Waterloo rd. Zvečer pa odpelje s farme ob sedmih. Voznino za tja in nazaj se je določilo nizko, in sicer za odraslo osebo 75c, za otroke od 4. do 12. leta pa 50c. Kdor si hoče zagotoviti prostor ns busu, MORA NAJKASNEJE DO PETKA 27. junija zvečer do 8. ure prijaviti našemu društvenemu tajniku L. Me-dvešku da se bo vedelo koliko se jih pelje z busom. Tajnik bo v društvenem uradu vsak večer Od ure ter bo vzel naročilo. Umevno je, da bomo vsem postregli s prigrizkom in pijačo, da ne bo nikomur treba biti lačen ali žejen. Udeležite se tegs piknika s svojo družino in se malo pove-selite v prosti naravi pod senčnimi drevesi in^na svežem zraku. Videli boste tudi kakšna bo nova plesna dvorana.

Na 21. junija, ko se bo vršila redna seja društva v Salemtf, se je bomo udeležili štirje federacijski zastopniki, in sicer na povabilo društva. Men da žele, da bomo skupno začrtali pot do uspeha. Nsdslje naj omenim, da kolikor je meni znano, vlada zelo veliko zanimanje za ta skupni piknik. Dobro mi je znano še izpred vojnih časov, kako smo bili polni življenja pri federa-cijskih sejah in potem na pikniku. Spominjam se zastopnikom, na primer A. Brelfhe, Wi-dra iz E. Palestine (zadnje čase nju ni več med nami), A. Vlaha in Stankovicha, ki sta zastopala društvo 07 iz Bessemer-, ja. Prvega krije ameriška gru-, da, Stankovlch pa se je preselil v Cleveland. Kaj pa drugI Člani pri društvu 97? Saj je veliko zavednih članov pri tem društvu!" Kaj misli o tem, br. Snežič? Ali ne bi bilo dobro, da bi prihajali na federacijske seje? Društvo 167 iz Bessemer-ja pa je bilo včasih zastopano po' br. J. GlovSnu. Kaj pa je narobe, Joe? Upam, da se bomo vseeno videli 13. julija v Salemu, O. Piknik se bo vršil na istem prostoru kot prejšnja leta. Mogoče bom opisal ka$pot kasneje. Naj še omenim, da bomo L meli na pikniku glavnega Odbornika, ki bo nastopil kot govornik.

Zato pa mislim, da društvo 104 SNPJ zasluži pomoč naselbine pri njegovih zelo redkih priredbah. Franca Puncer. Važno naznanilo vsem gostom ob priliki praznovanja dneva SNPJ Cleveland, O. — Pred nekaj tedni je bil v angleškem delu Prosvete priobčen članek izpod peresa predsednice stanovanjskega odbora sestre Ann Opeke, v katerem je opisala neprilike, ki bodo neizogibno nastale glede preskrbe stanovanj ob času prihodnjega praznovanja narodnega dneva SNPJ v Clevelan-du. Ker so mqrda nekateri či-tatelji Prosvete pregledali to njeno poročilo, čutim potrebo, da o tem problemu obvestim tudi čitatelje slovenskega dela Prosvete. Problem je sledeč: Iste dni, ko se bo vršilo v Clevelandu praznovanje narodnega dneva SNPJ, se vršijo v našem mestu tudi takozvane "National Air Races", ki privabijo v Cleveland desettisoče obiskovalcev. Zvedeli smo, da bodo hotelske sobe večinoma vse oddane in da bo pomanjkanje spalnih sOb, Na zadnji federacijski seji smo zadevo temeljito pretehtali in pri-fcli do zaključka, da je nemogoče preklicati to praznovanje in da moramo nadaljevati z našimi pripravami in preskrbeti za u-dobnost in poslugo vsem, ki bodo naši gostje ob tej priliki. Ta stanovanjski problem nalaga gotOve dolžnosti nam Cle-velandčanom, ker smo odgovorni za udobnost in poslugo našim gostom. Naša dolžnost je, da dobimo stanovanja vsem, ki nam pravočasno naznanijo, da se jim preskrbijo spalne sobe. Dolžnost naših gostov pa je, da ne čakajo zadnjega dne, v prepričanju, da se bo že kaj dobilo, ampak da že vnaprej napravijo vse potrebne korake, da si preskrbijo stanovanje, bodisi direktno ali pa skozi naš odbor. Čakanje bo imelo neprijetne posledice, Moje skromno mnenje KROŽKOVA VESELICA V POČAST OČETOM Johnstown.

Vsi drugI se obrnite na federacijski stanovanjski odbor, ali na predsednico sestro Ann Opeko. Odbor Vas bo obvestil pravočasno, kadar dobi stanova nje za vas. Sedaj pa še par besed o nalogi naših članov v Clevelandu. 1. Društveni tajniki lahko mnogo pomagajo, ker poznajo družinske razmere skoraj vseh svojih članov. Brez prevelikih težav bi dobili imena in naslove vseh članov svojega društva, ki bi imeli na razpolago spalne sobe. 2. Posamezni člani lahko pomagajo na ta način, da sami sporočijo direktno našemu stanovanjskemu odboru za koliko oseb lahko preskrbijo spalne sobe. To je moje priporočilo.

Tukaj namreč ni veliko Slovencev, drugi narodi pa imajo svoje zavarovalne organi zacije. • Naša jednota je premalo ogla-ševana po radiu. Morali bi posnemati čohoslovaške organiza cije, ki jih po radiu oglašajo že mnogo let. Seve, koliko uspeha imajo, ne vem. Kdor je zmožen angleškega jezika, naj čita Adamičeve knjige, ki so zelo pod uči j i ve in zanimive. Škoda je, ker se naša mladina tako malo zanima za politiko in druge socialne in gospodarske probleme. Tudi za staro domovino se ne zanima. V državi Iowi smo imeli druga leta sušo, letos pa kar naprej dežuje. Če se vreme ne bo kaj kmalu spremenilo, potem bomo imeli slabe čase in Truman bo moral dobiti nazaj, kar je dal svojim prijateljem.

Chairman Stan Hribar and co. chairman John Rovan and the committee have completed all plans for the affair. The procedure as a rule is to thank the committee after the affair, but I wish at this time to thank the following for their splendid fraternal spirit and cooperation. The men on the committee are: Muster, Kocjan, Rezek, Matekovich, Tancek, Dezman, Frank Racick and Louis Racick. The ladies are Mrs. Selak, Hribar, Jacobs, Kocjan, Muster, Bogatay, Racick, Rovan.

Manager Cigolle uys Pittsburg may be tough but we'll be in there fighting. 8ids Glance«: Frank and Mary Rezek have gone to Milwaukee to attend a wedding at the Golob home.

Reaek eays'a politician is too busy, and as fdr your scribe, well, those Jerries took sports and dancing out of me. But seriously, Manager Cigolle has a fine bunch of ballplayers. A delayed report, but better late than never. Mr. and Mrs. Tony Yakle vich have a charming daughter Karen Jean who is now 10 weeks old John Yaklevich, a member of the G.

Walter Lampe and Fred Perusek in a heated discussion on the overtime withholding tax Frank Ipavec informing us that he has secured the Pintar Trio for dancing for our picnic, and last but not least, Paul Golob playing the part of the perfect host and beaming with joy because so many responded in the hurry-call for a meeting.

In their last game the Pioneers defeated the Russian Club 11-0 to go into a three way tie for second place, only one game from the top. Joe Krall, on th« mound for the Pioneers, gave up only four hits while fanning ten batters. Giving Krall a big helping hand was Stan Strnisa with three hits in five times at bat, including a home run, and Leonard Polasky with two triples to his credit. In the "136-560 Balina League" the teams are bunched up in the standings. So far it's anyone's championship. The league has gotten off to a fine start and we hope it has just as good ending.

Spirit-0-Grams ST. LOUIS. Mo —Our usual good meeting attendants was somewhat interrupted at our June 20 regular nue ting, due to the local bus and streetcar strike which at this writing is in its 8th day. We should support these striking workers, by being patient until they win their rights. Naturally, it to inconvenient tor the public, but these workers must take tune out to fight for their hread and butte: as well as you, for if they don't who will do it for them? ** Many of our members,^ were stranded being unable to attend the meeting due to the strike. Among them Pres. Vertovsek, Tress. Helen Stuckey and Recorder Tillie Will-rin iing. Bro. John Jurgec, Vice Pres. who at the meeting has done a good job. The May dance committee urge all those holding out tickets to make their returns immediately, for a motion was passed at the meeting that three days after the transit strike is settled, and you still hold out ticket returns, you will be charged for the amount you hold. Our anniversary dance will be held oh November 15 at the Concordia Hall. 13 and Arsenal. Mark your calendars. We expect to set a date at our next meeting for a basket picnic or and excursion on Steamer Admiral. Have you any ideas for summer activities? Let's hear them at the meeting. On June 18, we had the pleasure to meet the ever-popular Lincolnite Juvenile Circle from Springfield, 111., who visited our famous St. Louis Zoo, located in Forest Park, one of the largest city parks in the U. S. This fine group of 24 youngsters accompanied by 13 Lincolnite mothers had the biggest thrill in their life, as they sat pop-eyed watching the performances of the chimpanzés, ponies, elephants and the lions, as each presented a Vr hour show. They visited other points of interest at thé park, but time was too short to completely see everything in Forest Park as it embraces close to 2,000 acres of rolling woodland. They did manage to visit the Shaw's Garden, the second largest garden in the world, covering approximately 125 acres. Collections from all plant life of the world are cultivated here by experts. I believe it was the first time the youngsters saw a banana tree, some 20 ft high, with a big bunch of bananas on the top. It was all so exciting for the kiddies, and a trip they will never forget. My only regret is that tfie Spirits didn't round up a gjQUP of thj^ .juveniles, so they could have met this fine group of Lincolnite juveniles. Sis. Cele Ysrtz and her daughters (Mary and Lorraine). Spirit juveniles, Bro. John Spiller and the writer were with the visitors. Would suggest that the Llncolnites and Spirits make arrangements to get together more often, and probably get our young English Speaking lodge "Sparklers" from Madison, 111., join us in the fun. Was glad to meet some of the Llncolnites such as the hard working Juvenile Director Mary Aaidich, who deserves much credit for their juvenile St. Louis trip, also Mary Brinocar, whose articles In the Prosveta are interesting, France Lazar and «others, too numerous to mention. Come back again, folks, you're always welcome. Personals: Sis. Mary Petrovich Sr. is still on the sick list, but improving. The Ben Ducotes had relatives from New Orleans as visitors. Sis. Theresa Speck represented the local branch at the recent SANC convention in Cleveland. Congrats on her election to the board. While Bro. Stanley Hervatin had his Studebaker parked, a woman driver came along and crashed into it causing over $200 damage. Oh, those women drivers, eh, Stan? Bro. Pete and Ann Kokal motored to Witt, 111., on Decoration Day. Had as a surprise vititors his Navy buddy Brown and wife from Indiana. Sorry to hear that Bro. Frank Bolka lost an eye due to an explosion st work in Milwaukee. Bro. John Spiller was guest announcer on the Croatian radio program heard every Sunday at 10:30 pm on KXLW Congrats to juvenile Eugene Johnson on his recent graduation. Would like to see some of your fine drawings in The Voice of Youth. Frank and Cele Yartz were in Springfield recently.

P«., Comets wS m mm tl FLASHES By Donald J. Loirich ' CHICAGO.—Ninety-five Pioneers took in an enjoyable supper at the SNPJ Hall preceding the regular meeting last Thursday night The food was really good and everyone had their fill. On top of that twenty of the members went away with attendance prizes and Paul Videgai won an electric coffee cooker set worth more than ten dollars. It took a little time to clear the tables before we proceeded with the business of the day. Then we went into such matters as the August 2nd Pic. nic. the quarterly audit report by Steve Cerkoney and Ida Simon, the Educational Bureau meeting, and things about the SANC convention. We also initiated seven new members and will try to get a fe>v more before :he month to up in an endeavor to reach our quota. Ernest Dreshar and Ellen Andres won the attendance awards. We had beer and good dance music after the meeting. The whole affair turned out well and those present explained they will try to get out oftener for the regular meetings • • • Bowling trophies were presented to Louis Zefran who captained his Zefran's Morticians to first place in the Pioneer Bowling League and to Mitzi Chernich in behalf of the Kolar Florists "Who did the same job fci the girls. Stanley Zele was the recipient of another trophy tor his Pioneer Sunday squad which won the Westside ^nter-Lodge League title. Frank Groser made the presentations. All of them said they were happy to have participated in the league and, of course, happier that their squads came out on top. Ab appeal was made for bowlers tor the new season which will begin in September.—John Vertnik and Erma Vertnik will replace John Simon and Ida Simon on the sick visiting committee. » • • Tickets tor the Annual Prize Picnic on Saturday, August 2nd, Pilsen Park, are now in the mail. All mem bers are urged to make a good job of selling them. The committee is meeting at regular intervals to plan for the big affair and to bring an ever larger number of people to the grove to hear Frankie Yankovic and his orchestra. Mary Andres, a very able chef, promised to take charge of the kitchen again and will receive the able assistance of ex-army cook Joe Cerkoney and Erma Vertnik. That menu spells a good supper. We are now working on several amusements for the children. Years back we used to draw many, many Children to ocr picnics and many of them went away with gifts and prizes. We've always felt that the children were an integral part of the Pioneer lodge and have always catered to them. For this picnic we will be soliciting all types of gifts and prizes again so that they may be resold or given away, and the Pioneers and their friends are all eligible to make those contributions. Let's make this a real humdinger of an affair. Let's pack several thousand people into Pilsen Park. We're looking tor youi* help. • • • I Among the new members coming to the Pioneers are Harry Andreas and Eleihore Baker, who will be married on Saturday, June 28. Best wishes! . . , Bill Tracongo, who bowled with us, has entered his wife and child into the lodge. . . Then, wc enrolled Jeanne Flens. Jennie Flor's grandchild; Roberta Lawrence who has a brother in the lodge, and James Rehak Jr. ... A wedding invitation informs us that Barbara Lu-zar will tie the knot on Saturday, July 26. Our good wishes go to her also. ». We were happy to hear from Paul and Paula Berger who flew to Europe direct from Chicago a short while ago. He explains that things are very lively there and that the prices are extremely high. Mr. and Mrs. Berger will get a ldt of good information about actual conditions in Europe, in Trieste, and in Jugoslavia, und we hope that our paper Prosveta will have a chance to carry them from time to time. • • • This Sunday, June 20. I will add my little bit on the Pennsylvania SNPJ Day program, at Verona. Pa., and thus have a chance to renew old acquaintances snd make some new friends. Manifestations such as the one this coming Sunday are a necessity these dsys tor more than one reason and are definitely an asset to our Society. We have reason to believe that our members in and around Verona will respond in full number and thus climax the hard work of the large committee with success After sll. the fellow members who prepare these events do not ssk for sny other psy except to have the satisfaction of s well at tended sffair. The times require full cooperation—Our Tomsn Li-brsry Forum Committee met last Friday evening and has already set up a schedule for next fall. It to remarkable how the majority of the committee is progressive, nay, even radical. We sre going to hsve progressive minded speakers throughout the fell season so that our people will be better informed on the problems of the day. --,----- ;■:»•" —I -a • •___— The Taft-Hartley Bill to now law Notwithstanding th« appeals of prominent people, the Republican and Democratic groups in Congress have seen fit to override the Pr,.«; dents veto and put this county back into the old chaotic S trends. The many million« voted tor the prese nt and Senators were now well JS off. Of course, they can't stop llbor frorti acting in unison for their iu>t demands although this bill prL] much weakens the entire structure of labor unions. It takes the *fiec tive power from them. The over, riding of the veto may turn out to be a good thing for the common people in this country in that it may arouse them to thinking and acting in better harmony and more efftC tively. If it does that, then the National . Manufacturers Association who have actually written the bill will have done a favor to the common people.—We are sti*l seeking the able and intelligent SNPJ young people to form a national committee to foster and promote discussion and to tell the truth about the general run of things. The public is so misled because so many vital news items are suppressed or doctored by the publishers that such a committee to necessary. Several members have already responded. Let's get more of them. If it's for the good of ourselves and our organization, we shouldn't fear helping and being part of the job. • * • Employees of Western Electric Co. have had their own company union for a long time. Naturally, they were indirectly controlled by the management of the company. The result is that they never took any radical steps to improve the conditions or the well-being of the employees. Now that the CIO has decided to organize the electrical workers, the officers of the company union have suddenly decided to throw the entire union into what they call the "conservative, truthful and respected national union." They fail to realize that the CIO auto workers and steel workers have pretty much set the pattern for wages and standards of other manufacturers. The auto workers and the steel workers paid a heavy price to obtain these. They had to strike. They had to be without funds. They had to picket, day and night. Because they were organized and because they were steadfast, they succeeded in gaining for themselves of course, but for the rest of the country's workers as well. American workers owe plenty to the auto workers and the steel workers and the CIO. We are not against the AFL, but we do say that the AFL took the cream without fighting while the CIO unions were out on the picket lines demanding a readjustment of the whole wage-price Structure. We'll say that even the AFL is better than a company union althoug it looks bad when the thing is being done this way.

I can truthfully say the fathers and children went away well pleased. Circle No. 2 is proud to have Frank Mauer and their group and these boys are well worth listening to.

Of all diseases tuberculosis is perhaps th* most clearly affected by social conditions. Today in Europe, for example, the most serious health problem is the enormous Increase In tuberculosis which has resulted from the war. While the socalled white plague can and does affect all classes of society, It causes its greatest devastation among working people. This Is not due to any hereditary defect peculiar to industrial workers. On the contrary, it Is caused by the very tame factors responsible for the wartime increase of tuberculosis in Europe, that Is by social coi\di. tions. In the U. 8 the death rate from tuberculosa Is very low among pro-feaaional men, officials and businessmen On the other hand, the rate for semiskilled workers Is four times as great for professional men, while the tuberculosis death rate among unskilled workers ii seven times as great During the last depression, in 193« It waa found that families on relief aul ft red nine times as much disability from tuberculosis as thoae with incomea of $3.000 or more a year. W.- know that workers' In comes are much lower than those of businea» *nd profeaaional men, so the lack of money is clearly an lm portant facti.r in the high tuhercu Inala rate among workers aa com paied to these other groups. Of course, it i«n't the lack of money itxrlf which la important, but 'ether the thing« which money can buy Good housing U necessary In th« prevention of tuberculosa, be causr the diaease thrives in overcrowded slums where the germs apiead anally from one person to another Tuberruloaia is less common among faimers than among city workei a, largely Iwcauee they do not have to live in congested tenements Nutrition la another important factor in tubercul'*ls Good nutrl. lion help* at lengthen the l»ody's roe* istancr to attack by T B gears Tin starvation and semi starvation which th* people of Europe have en dut«*d a» t- result of the war Is un douMedly a major csuae of the dlaeuar For aome industrial workers alii cosu 1« responsible for the high tu berculosia death rate Hard com miners, foundry workers, and other worker» »ho must inhale allies duet art Ukely to develop silicosis. This dolllars vs. communism By FREDA KIRCHWEY With the President's signature attached to the Greek-Turkish aid bill, the new American foreign policy is now legally in effect. Hundreds of millions have been appropriated to carry the gospel to the heathen, with billiom to follow. What remains is to select the missionaries and their leaders, arm them with dollars for gifts and credits, with guns and food, and with the sacred American "know how" which, above all benefactions, ii considered a sovereign defense against communism and other disorders of ailing systems. There are those who say the pol-icy will fail or justify itself according to the men our government selects to administer it, and certainly any creed takes on some of the character of ita prophets. But it would be foolish to bank too much on this popular notion, for the reverse is even more generally the case. Men very soon take on the character of the creed they are hired to expound, be It free enter, prise or communism or Catholicism or '.he preeminent superiority of the Fuller brush. Some liberal supporters of Mr. Truman's doctrine argue that opposition to communism only incidentally involves support of reactionaries: that it need not do so. They believe quite sincerely that we can and should, and even perhaps will, convert the Greek government to the democratic precepts applied in some advanced parts of the United] States; or otherwise that firm American intervention will force the regime to udopt a sober and moderate course. They cite as hopeful evidence the apparent willing-of the Maximos government to accept U. N. supervision of the car lying out pf an uinnesty. What such people ignore is the essential meaning of the Greek struggle; with all the talk about Russian penetraUon and border violations they forget that a revolution is going on In Greece. The Issues may bo confused, but they will not be solved even by an internationally supervised amnesty. The peasants and guerrilla fighters in the mountains are not going to come out, 1 imagine, or give up their arma, until they know that the men respon sible for the acts of the Nad-trained security police and the armed gangs and the military repressions have l>een ousted from power. Otherwise their lives would be safe only as long as the amnesty observers remained on the spot. And their cause would be lost. An amnckty in Greece will mean something when It is proclaimed by a government that wanta to co operate with the people In the mountains. And auch an amnesty will not need to !m supervised by Danea and Hollanders. In spite of the efforts of Its apo loglsta, the Truman Doctrine is not supported by fulth or enthusiasm Its authors are on the defensive; its supporters are luke warm. Nobody rxcept a few rabid right wingers want to give "aid'* to the Interests and parties our government will have to back In a political war againet Russia They accept the new policy as the only available alternative to the proclaimed threat of Communist domination of Europe. They hope that economic and military support of weak re gimea m«v diaaolve that threat with out war They hope the operation will simultaneously revive true de. mocracy. but they have no very live behef that it will And sunn tl»ev will team that it can only do So if the United Ktates Is prepared not merely to repair physical dam age and'stiffen weak ¿overpment? and sagging rurrrneiee. but to at << pt and even substdlre the revolutionary change« that are needed in the countries penetrated by com monism Since it is difficult to imagine our 1 present Administration and, still more, our present Congress financing revolution in even its mildest and most legal forms, the chance of reviving democracy through the Truman Doctrine seems remote. And so the best administrators will be driven to a futile course of poulticing deep infections. I do not envy the man Mr. Truman finally induced to head |)i* Greek mission Opponents of the new doctrine frequently insist that it will drive disgusted and despairing democrats into communism.* And so it wiU, no doubt. It wiH tend to polarize political sentiment and weaken the center. But it is risky to assume that this will mean victory for the extreme left. It may have exactly the opposite effect,, as was the case after World War I. The situation in Europe then mildly paralleled the situation to. day. The fresh revoluUonary impulse of the Soviets was spreading through the dreary wasteland left by the war. The economic system was in general collapse; populations were starving; governments were almost helpless. The central desire of the ¿reat powers was to steir. revolution and restore some sort of stability. In 1918 and 1919 the countries of Eastern Europe were mostly run by Socialists. There was a Socialist government in Vienna, a left-liberal government in Budapest; Social Democrats were dominant in the new Czechoslovak state. Ln Germany the moderate Sociallats in control of the new Republican regime were threatened with left-wing revolts all over the country; Bavaria was briefly ruled by a left-Socialist soviet. The workers in Italy were seizing the factories. Further east, the Balkans and Hungary -ind Rumania were in the throes of an ugnari*n revolution— the "green" tisin|. Observers said then, as they say today: the Continent is heading into socialism; the old order Is finished. It head'd into fascism instead. The process of «hange was checked or deflected, partly by the suicidal fight among the parties of the left, partly by t the rise of counter, revolutionary foreee encouraged by the big powers oQd financed by big business, partly by American loans which helped to patch together the frail economy >f Europe. Until, at the end of the turbulent decade, the great depression knocked out th* underpinnings and the whole structure crumbled into faacism and war. It could happen again. I suppose Only this tlrre the destruction of values la so much more thorough, the middle claaa so much weaker, the need of fundamental change so much more obvious, that even a temporary ienai—Stice of the prewar capitalist »oeiety is hard to imagine. Perhaps the Truman Doctrine can db it. But it will take more dollars and funs than las* time. tMith because the >ob la bigger and heciuse peopls are reluctant to »tart the old cycle over again They've "had enough '—and more They want a < h«*ge And they will not think the government that spends Ml lions to prevent It (The Nation ) Jobless Aid—From ¡19M to $23j05 A Week Suppose you lose your job—just how much and how long will you be entitled to an unemployment compeasatiqn? ». The answer, according to the U. S. Social Security Administration figures, is shockingly little. Actual payments made in March to unemployed teoikets were $17.71 a week. This is the average for the whole nation. In two thirds of the states, payments are lower than the average. The lowest is Kentucky, which paid an average of $10j0 a week. The length of time varies from state to state—from 12 to 22 weeks. The nighest average payment was in Utah, with $23.05 a week. Even this sum is entirely inadequate to support the average family of( four.

NEW YORK—The membership of the New York chapter of the A.A.R.Y. at a recent meeting decided to not only talk about aid to reconstruction in Jugoslavia but also to do something about it. When the newspapers reported that the Youth of Jugoslavia decided to build a second railroad Una, this time from Samac to Sarajevo In Bosnia-Hcrcegovlna republic, it was decided to start a campaign to purchase 10 dozens shovels and 6 dozens picks, priced approximately about $300.00, and to send theae tool* to Jugoalavia. Collection lists we prepared and distributed among chapter members. As a result of a good work of our chapter members, the above-mentioned tools were purchased and were, thanks to the splendid work of Sladev. Dujmovich and MUson who contributed their labor in pock ing and crating for the oversea shipment, shipped on the IS Bad nik on May 25 to the pert of Rljeka and from there directly to the Youth Railroad line of Ha mac-Sarajevo. We wish to thank our members and our many friends who aided in the collection of funds and wo are sure that the heroic Youth of our war-time ally will put these tools to good use ANTHONY QERLACH The total aaaets of 40 major American chemical companies wer over $3 billion In 19|9. says a Twen tieth Century Fund report with 3 companies account tn* for show» 64 per cent WEDNESDAY, JUNK „ , JAN HUS AND GIORDANO BRUNO which thj ■ n Greek (From BIBLE, CHURCH AND GOD, McCarthy) That the reader may get some conception of the use tc, I agents of god put the two biblical texts: "Thou shall stone believer) that he die," Deut. 13:6-10; 17:2-6, and: "The man win Ji H harken unto the priest shall die. Deut 7:12, we give a short dJ«!L58 of the church murders of Jan Hus and Giordan j Bruno. Jan Hus was a Bohemian. A brilliant youth, in spite of poverty, he gained the degree of Bachelor of Theology at the University of Pra-ha, 1396. He soon began, secretly, at course, to loathe some of the church's most cherished dogmas— particularly, the belief "that priests cquld forgive sins." and that "the breed and wine takeft at church communions became the body and blood of Christ." He dared not teach his doctrines. Nevertheless, his thoughts filtered to the ehurch. Spies were set on him, and when he exposed the church greed and faked Testament on,« level with myths. These heresies, coudUi« with his declaring the actual tnents of the earth and unimT brought down upon him the damiuu, tion of both the Catholics and Pro testants. They vowed to destroy him. Like Hus, he was tricked and «inveigled into visit«« Italy^ pere, betrayed by his 8up posed Christian friend, he was turrT ^^^ Punishment His belief that the earth moved that there couldn't be a virgin birth' that miracles just didn't occur, were the most heinous crimes in priest criminology, and such beliefs must be punished according to the most fiendish laws of god. The church Inquisition threw him in prison. There they tortured him for seven years. The suffering ho endured will never be told. When death stared at him just over there, he was brought up for trial. The living skeleton of skin and bones was wrapped about by chains. He could not walk, was dragged by the Vicars of Christ to the judgment seat of god before the pope. There he was cursed, damned, declared a church heretic and sentenced to be burned in the courtyard in front of the pope's residence. No time was lost in executing the sentence. If delayed, natural death might claim the victim and god's agents, including the pope, be cheated of seeing a thinker writher and squirm in the fires of a Christian man-made hell. The stake had, before sentence, been prepared. The fuel had been gathered and blessed by the pope-all was ready. Emaciated Bruno was bound to the post of dearth. The sacred fagots were arranged close about him. The priests blessed both the fuel and the flame carrier, then ordered the carrier, in god'i name, \o execute his mission. He approached, torch in hand; Bruno watched him as he came. The priesu carried an immense crucifix in front of the victim and held it there as the angry priest-blessed flames ate their way to the shriveled form. An enormous mob of insane, church-__ demented ignorant fiends mocked He had believed: that S man- the thinker and chanted the hymns miracles performed by god's parasites at Willsnach near Wittenburg, he was charged with heresy. The fact that god had two popes at the time, each excommunicating the other, worked to Hug's advantage by delaying his seizure. But as soon as the papal conflict was ended, the pope, John XXUU, renewed the charges and excommunicated Hus. This was Hus' undoing. He could not suffer the disgrace of being thrown out of his church and sought to remove the stigma. The church sent officers to seise him but the people of Praha refused to surrender him- The pope thereupon placed the whole city tinker interdict f r„c r .. ' . This was a.terrible blow |o the people. At . that time, the pope's interdict meant hell for the dying, and damnaUon for the living. To alleviate the situation. Hus left Praha. The wily pope, after a time sought to' compromise with the city, an speak; again he was ruthlessly «1-lenced. The fiends forced him through the childish church ordeal of degradation and the blood-thirsty priests consigned his soul to hell. This done, he was paraded in chains through the streets to receive the Insults and sneers of the priest-rid-den populace. At the place of execution, he cried above the turmoil: "God knows the great object of all my preaching and writing was to convert men from sin. I now Joyfully die." A great heap of tinder had been prepared, god's tinder, selected by god's lying agents to roast to death an innocent victim for daring to tell the truth. The stake was large and deep in the ground. Hus was securely bound to it The chains used were other than those he wore. The fuel was corded and arranged high about him. The torch bearer appeared. God's agent order the mass ignited. The flames leaped high into the air. The revengeful tongues ol fire seemed eager, under divine guidance. to reach their victim. As they neared the Immortal Hus, he was heard appealing to his god, your god. for mercy. But there was no god. The stiff resolute body relaxed as the Christian flames of hell melted the Indomitable courage of an innocent dispenser of truth. Church savagery was satisfied, god's wrath appeased. That the heretic's ashes might not pollute the sacred ground of the church, they were carefully scraped together, the ground swept clean, gathered and thrown into the river to be swept by the tides of reason to enlighten . the shores where church ignorance, superstition and intolerance were yet enthroned. Giordano Bruno Giordano Bruno was born in Italy. At the age of fifteen, he joined the Domileans of Naples. Here his reasoning soon caused him to run Counter the church dogmas. He could not believe three makes one, the Trinity, or a virgin could have s child, or that bread and wine coukl turn into the body and blood of-Christ Betrayed by his brother monks, accusations of heresy were filed against him. Hearing of the charges, he fled. Driven from place to place in Catholic countries, he sought refuge in Protestant Geneva. Here he soon learned that Protestantism was as intolerant as Catholic Rome He fled from Geneva. For years he wandered from city to city—nowhere could he find rest. Study eauaed him to scoff at faith end laugh at miracles They were magical tricks. He placed the Old of god as they milled about the execution blaze. Through the flames, slowly the quivery body was seen to shrink. It sputtered, crackled and burned. Only the chains that had bound the body and the ashes, the vengeance of god could destroy, remained. God's law has been executed. A Seat light, a beacon of the year 00, guiding an ignorant world towards intelligence and reason, had been put out—Bruno was dead. • • • Hundreds of thousands of victims met the identical fates of Hus and Bruno. They were but average esses of the barbarous vengeance meted out to thinkers under god's laws during the Dark Ages.
