Demonstrirati je treba razumevanje v zvezi s prizadevanji v Evropi in voljo za rešitev skupnih ekonomskih problemov. Državni tajnik se ni dotaknil nemških problemov in ne Porurja, industrijske province v britski okupacijski coni. Sovjetska vlada je ostro obsodila vse poskuse, da pride Porurje kot ekonomska enota v blok zapad-nih držav. Izjavila je, da je namen poskusov kršenje dogovorov, sklenjenih na konferenci velike trojice v Potsdamu. V svojem govoru je Marshall apeliral na governerje, naj sodelujejo z njim v oblikovanju javnega mnenja v prilog zunanji politiki. "Amerika stoji pred alternativo," je dejal. "Pomagati mora evropskim državam, da se bodo lahko prilagodile spremembam nove dobe, ali pa se sprijazniti z gibanjem, ki gre v nasprotno smer. Ta ni v soglasju z njihovimi starimi tradicijami in ne z ameriškimi tradicijami. Ameriška podpora zapadnim evropskim državam je potrebna.

Marshall je sinoči izjavil, da mora Amerika ščititi svoje interese v Evropi in nuditi ekonomsko pomoč zapadnim državam, da se ne bodo obrnile stran od demokracije. Storiti mora korake za restavriranje prosperitete za-padnih držav, da se bodo zavarovale pred nevarnostjo komunizma. Marshall je govoril na banketu governerjev ameriških držav, ki so se sestali na konferenci v Salt Lake Cityju. "Prezreti ne smemo dejstva, da je Amerika na razpotju v od-nošajih s svojimi tradicionalnimi prijatelji v državah starega sveta," je rekel Marshall. V apelu na governerje, naj podpirajo njegov načrt glede ekonomske rehabilitacije zapad-nih evropskih držav, ni Marshall omenil Rusije, toda jasno je bilo, komu veljajo njegove besede. Governerje je opozoril, da mora Amerika dovršiti svojo nalogo v Evropi v interesu svoje blaginje in varnosti, pomagati državam, da se bodo dvignile na noge, ali pa opustiti vsa prizadevanja v tej smeri, kar bi pomenilo za vržen je načel v soglasju z demokracijo. nerji, da je njegov rehabilitacijski načrt, ki bo predložen kongresu v svrho akcije po novem letu, v skladju z ameriškimi interesi in napori, katerih cilj je ohranitev civilizacije v Evropi.

Francija je razočarana. Ona je bila za sklenitev vojaške zveze s Čehoslovakijo v svrho skupne akcije, ki naj bi preprečila možno agresijo s strani Nemčije v bodočnosti. Čehoslovakija zavzema sedaj drugačno stališče. Namignila je, da bi sklenila vojaško zvezo s Francijo le pod pogojem, ako bi bila naperjena ne samo proti Nemčiji, temveč tudi proti drugim državam v slučaju agresije. Francoski vladni krogi trdijo da je Rusija preprečila sklenitev vojaške zveze s Čehoslovakijo. Slednja se je postavila na stran Sovjetske unije in držav, ki so v sferi ruskega vpliva. V Parizu so priznali, da so se prizadevanja s za sklenitev vojaške zveze med Francijo in C hoslovakijo izjalovila. Avstrija hoče postati članica Združenih narodov Lake Success, N. Y., 15.

Jul.— Kongres iruiustrijskih organiza 4 Sklenitev nove mezdne pogodbe med rudarsko unijo UMW in operstorji med majnarskimi počitnicam! je dogodek, katerega pred par tedni ni skoraj nihče pričakoval. Tudi John L. Lewis ne.' Slednje pravimo na podlagi zadnje izdaje (junijske) Lewi-sovega glasila UMW Journala, v katerem je bilo precej skeptič-nosti in negotovosti, kako. se bo vsa stvar iztekla, kajti že od ms-js so bils pogajanja na mrtvi točki. In po mnenju glasila UMW, kakor tudi drugih krogov, so bils pogajanja v zastoju vsled tega, ker so operatorji pričakovali, da bodo Lewisa z unijo vred lahko ugnali z novim zveznim sntidelavskim zakonom. V tem so se seveda motili, kajti zakon stopi v veljavo tele 22. avgusta. Torej prepozno za zagrabitev Lewisa. Zakaj so arhitekti tega zakona določili U datum, Je uganka, kajti nekateri njegovi zagovorniki so v kongresu srgumentlrali, da je zakon potreben za — "ustavitev Lewisa" . . . Zdaj se Lewis lahko vsem skupaj smeje, kajti za majnarje je izvojeval ie veliko boljio pogodbo kot je bila zadnja, ki jo je sklenil lansko pomlad z notranjim tajnikom Krugom in o kateri je iel glas, da premogarji ie niso imeli tako dobre pogodbe. In izvojeval Jo je — novo pogodbo namreč — veliko la^je kot katerokoli v svoji skoraj 30-letni karieri kot predsednik UMW. S predstavniki jeklarskega t rud ta In nekaterih velikih premogovnih družb s "severa" se je zaprl za nekaj dni in nova pogodba Je bila sklenjena ter podpisana po treh četrtinah operatorjev. NJim so ae potem pridružili ie južni operatorji in Lewis se zdaj lahko sardonično smeje kot se ni ie nikdar krohota!. Svoj prestiž si je rehabilitiral in povečal svoj vpliv ne samo med majnarji, marveč v vseh unijskih krogih. I 8 to pogodbo so majnarji dobili čedno zvišanje plače — 44c več PIKNIK detroitske federacije Detroit.—Mislim, da je že čas, da se tudi detroitska federacija društev SNFt malo bolj oživi. Med vojno je bila naša federa rija iz /nattih vzrokov bolj na pasivni listi, zdaj pa se je zopet začela oživljati. Seje imamo precej redno, v kolikor so pogrebne in sodelujemo z mladinskim krožkom. To je potrebno, da bo šla tudi mladina po poti, katero so začrtali jednotini pio nirji. Ker sem pri mladini, naj še jez nekaj omenim o zadnji krožkov! priredbi. Mladina se je v vseh ozirih dobro izkszala. Je seveda pod dobrim vodstvom Ann Stromarjeve in Dorothy Korunove, zato krožek tudi uspeva. Na tej mladinski prired bi sem se zamislil na prejšnja leta, ko je bilo na vrhuncu pevsko društvo Svoboda in smo vsako leto imeli vsaj dve priredbi. Mislil sem si, no, ker smo se stari utrudili, bo pa mladina nadaljevala. Sicer bo vedno manj slovenskega petja med nami, toda še ni nevarnosti, da bo povsem izginilo, kajti tudi mladina rada prepeva naše pesmi. Torej je naša dolžnost, da kooperiramo z mladinskim krožkom, kajti bo najboljša propaganda za jfednoto vsaj v Detroitu. Glavni povod za te vrstice pa je povabilo na piknik, ki ga priredi naša federacija prihodnjo nedeljo, 20. Julija popoldne na Potočnikovi farmi na Dequin-dre Road in 19% mile. Prostor je znan večini naših Detroitča-nov. Toda komur ni, ga bo lahko našel, kajti bo pot označena. Ta piknik je potreben, da nekoliko okrepimo federacijsko blagajno. Imeli bomo tudi dober prigrizek, ki ga bodo preskrbeli naši bečlarjl pod vodstvom Franka Gabra, namreč tudi drugi rojaki. Na svidenje v nedeljo na Potočnikovi farmi! A. Nepnidnik.

(Kdor je delal na kontrakt. je morda zaslužil več sli ps tudi manj.) Poleg tega bodo operatorji prispevali pet centov več (10c) od tone v majnarski blaginjski sklad, kar bo na leto prineslo čez $50 milijonov — v tem skladu, ki bo v bodoče pod skupno upravo operatorjev, majnarjev in "javnosti", Je zdaj že čez $25 milijonov. Zelo važna je tudi vključitev v pogodbo varnostnih predpisov, ki jih je lani izdelal zvezni rudniški biroj s sodelovanjem zastopnikov UMW. Važno besedo pri izvajanju teh predpisov bodo Imeli majnarski varnostni rovskl odbori s pravico, da suspendirajo vse delo v nevarnih rovih ali prostorih. Južni operatorji so se temu najbolj upirali, kakor tudi blaglnjskemu sklsdu. Poleg tega je Lewis dozdevno zavaroval tudi unijo pred možnimi tožbami na podlagi Taft-Hartleyjevega zakona z določbo, da bodo člani "delali, kadar bodo pripravljeni In sposobni." Da-U bo ta točka drža la na sodišču v primeru "divjih" stavk, je seveda drugo vprašanje. Kongresnik Hartley Je že dejal, da je sklenitev te pogodbe kršitev novega "delavskega" zakona od kraja do konca — "the whole Intent of the law", kakor se Je Izrazil v zbornici. Lewis je dosegel ie več! Razbil Je tudi "separastlčno" Zvezo južnih operatorjev in slednje prisilil, da so pogodbo podpisali bodisi kot posamezniki ali po svojih krajevnih organizacijah ter se obenem ob vezali, da se prihodnje leto udeleže skupna konference vseh operatorjev in unije za sklenitev nove pogodbe. Kako je Lewis vse to dosegel, privlekel tega debelega mačka iz žaklja In tako rekoč čez noč dobil od operatorjev vse, kar Je zahteval — o vsem tem bodo razni ljudje ie dolgo ugibali In razpravljali. V resnici je dobil ie več kot je zahteval. Originalno je namreč zahteval 35c več na uro, pogodba pa določa 44.5c več. Od sUipil je samo od svoje zahteve za unloniziranje preddelavcev, kar I« zdaj izrecno prepoveduje Taft-Hartleyev zakon. Vse izgleda, da je bil Lewia v "koluziji" ali "zaroti" z Wall tlreetom in obratno — da mu je slednji poplačal za njegove (Lewi sove) pretekle in bodoče usluge. Zadnje čase se je v amsrliki javnosti začelo bolj In bolj ilritl mnenje, da je edini izhod za "bolno" premogovno industrijo In preprečen je parallzujoČih maj-narskih stavk v — podržavljenju To mnenje Je bilo zadnje lase ( parati tudi v nekaterih konservativnih krogih, ne samo liberal r ih Za ta korak se je na primer Izrekel tudi Henry Wallace, ki se je zadnjič v Angliji krstil za "liberalnega torija"; prav tako tudi organizacija Progresivnih ameriikih državljanov. Lewis pa je znan kot smrtni sovražnik vsakega podržavljenja, vsake social! aract)e. vnet zagovornik "free enterprlza", pristal Wall streets kjer ima vplivne prijatelje — v najtemnejših dneh UMW je pred 16. 16 leti tam dobil veliko posojilo za financiranje unije. Poleg tega je ob vsaki priliki z vso vehemenco žigosal "vladno obrato vsnje" premogovne industrije. * Well street vsega tega ni pozabil. Zdaj je l*ewisu priskočil na pomoč, gs reiil iz zelo kočljivega položaja, mu dal vae, kar je zahteval in obenem tudi vplival na ostale "neodvisne" operatorje (Ja so stopili v linijo ln podpisali novo |>ogodbo.

To pomeni, da so bila druitva in agitatorji precej aktivni v tej kratki itirimesečni dobi. Res lep rekord za jsdnoto. Tudi naie društvo št. 58 je pridobilo 27 novih članov—11 v odrasli ln 16 v mladinski oddelek, all 12 več kot je bils naša kvota. Lepa hvala vsem, ki «o mi pomagali pri agitaciji, posebno >a našemu mladinskemu dlrek-orju br. Johnu Blatniku, ki je dober agitator. Z nJim sva se xxSala v šest milj oddaljeno naselbino Spring Valley ln sva tudi tam pridobila nekaj novih Hanov. Dalje moram poročati tudi žalostno vest, da je 1. julija umrl Vincent Machek st. Bolehal je še dalj časa na mehurju. Zadnjič se je podal v bolnišnico Perry Memorial v Princeton, 111., kjer se Je podvrgel operaciji, ka teri pa je podlegel. In to kljub temu, da so mu dajali transfuzije krvi, ampak ni nič pomagalo. Pokojni br. Machek Je bil član dtuitva 59 SN P J in «den prvih Slovencev, ki so se pred 46 leti začeli naseljevati v De Puevu. Ves ta čas je vodil grocerijo in mesnico in nekaj časa tudi gostilno. Lani pa je vsled bolezni prepustil ves biznis svojima sinovoma Vhicentu irt Louisu. Rojen je bil 14. sept. 1672 v Trški gori, občina Št Peter pri Novem ^mestu. Bfl je mnogoletni član druitva 3 bivše SSPZ, z združenjem pa je prišel v našo jednoto. V društvo je pristopil največ radi pogreba—ker se mu je dopedlo, ker članstvo spremi pokojnega brata ali sestro k zadnjemu počitku. Zato je tudi pristopil k društvu, ne radi potrebe. Pokopan je bil 5. Julija ob veliki udeležbi Članov in članic, sorodnikov, prijateljev in znancev od blizu in deleč Na pogreb je prišla tudi družina Ignaca Romana iz Clevtflanda. Lepa hvala br. Johnu Kopinatu, ki je kot zadnji predsednik bivšega društva 3 SSPZ (zdaj združeno z društvom 59 fJNPJ), prečrtal nagrobni govor in pozval brate in sestre, da pokojniku oddamo zadnji pozdrav. Na zadnji poti smo ga spremili z obema društvenima zastavama, kakor je bila njegova želja. V imenu društva 59 izrekam preostali družini globoko soža-Ije. Poleg žene in dveh sinov zapušča tudi hčer Magdaleno Shihky, štiri vnuke in štiri vnukinje. Blag mu spornih! John Zugich. tajnik.

Program bo oddajan od 1.30 do 2. ure popoldne, novi čas, ali pa 12.30 do 1. ure stari čas. Do sedaj ima odbor pripravljen program za štiri nedelje in sicer: 20. in 27. julija, 3. in 10. avg. , To je sedaj za začetek, in če bo odziv povoljen od društev, organizacij kakor tudi od posameznikov, to se pravi v moralnem Kakpr tudi v finančnem oziru, bomo lahko Imeli program, na katerega bomo lahko ponosni. Finančno nas bo ta program stal $65 za pol ure, in seveda, če ne bo povoljnega odziva, bomo morali to prekiniti. Tu v zapadni Pennsylvaniji imamo približno 150 raznih društev in organizacij, zato tem potom apeliram na vsa ta društva za sodelovanje in finančno pomoč; za povračilo bi bile potem vse prireditve teh -društev ogla-šane med bodočimi programi. Torej priporočam vsem rojakom dne pridite na jugoslovanski piknik, zvečer pa bomo šli na Gogarjev piknik, ki se vrši isti dan na Segedinovih prostorih na Burnham road. Joseph Radelj.

Braddock, Pa. stu. Ko je s časoma prišlo še nekaj rojakov, so leta 1911 u-stanovili društvo 170 SNPJ. Med temi ustanovitelji je bil tudi pokojni Zurc. Leta 1924 je prestopil k društvu 535 na južni strani mesta, pri katerem je bil večkrat predsednik ali kak drug odbornik, kakor prej tudi pri društvu 170. Vedno je rad prihajal na seje in delal za napredek društva. Bil je zelo priljubljen med Slovenci in tudi drugimi. Veselilo ga je petje in vesela družba. Prejšnja leta, posebno v veliki krizi 6e je zelo prizadeval, da smo akronski Slovenci imeli svoj pevski zbor, pri katerem je vneto deloval kot pevec. Bil je med onimi, ki so se posebno po prvi svetovni vojni navduševali za prirejanje društvenih veselic in piknikov, kar je pripomoglo, da smo bil*, v onih letih pri društvu finančno zelo močni. S svojim sinom vred je tudi rad igral na priredbah. Bil je tudi član kluba Slovenskega doma in večkratni odbornik ter vedno gledal za uspeh doma. Bil je tudi član neke nemške organizacije ter unije kavčukarskih delavcev. Pogrešala ga ne bo samo njegova lju-, beča družina, kateri je bil dober ] oče in mož, marveč tudi društvo, katerega je bil zvest član'. Na mrtvaškem odru je bil ves obdan z rožami in dolga vrsta prijateljev ga je spremila na njegovi zadnji poti v tiho gomilo. Lep mu spomin! Joseph Irman. PIKNIK V MONTANI Red Lodge.

Tako uspešne kampanje za nove člane kot je bila zadnja pri ifldnoti že dolgo nismo imeli. Trajala je samo štiri mesece, od > marca do 30. junija, toda jednoti je prinesla 2,650 novih čla-mladinskih in odraslih. Kampanja je bila na 9vojem višku Sinji mesec, ko so društva pridobila skoro tisoč novih članov, povprečna pridobitev na mesec je znašala okrog 660 člano^, kar je tudi rekord sam zase. Glavni razlog, da je kampanja tako imenitno izpadla, je v tem, ker še v nobeni kampanji ni sodelovalo toliko društev kot v zadnji. Teh društev je bilo 351 ali okrog 60Vi, kar je precej večje število kct se je odzvalo klicom v prejšnjih kampanjah. Pkcejšnje število teh društev je napravilo tudi sijajne rekorde. V skupini A (društva z več kot 200 člani v odraslem oddelku) ie na primer devet društev prekoračilo svoje kvote, sedem, od-nosno osem društev pa je doseglo ali prekoračilo polovico kvote. V skupini B (društva od 100 do 200 članov) je 15 društev prekoračilo svoje kvote, deset pa več kot polovico. V skupini C (društva do 100 članov) je 28 društev doseglo ali prtkoračilo svoje kvote, devet pa polovice aH več.

Društva so pro-šena, da pošljejo svoje zastopnice ker bo seja važna. Želeti je, da pošljejo svoje opazovalce tudi nepridružena društva, da bodo videli, kako se pri federaciji dela. Naj poudarim, da bo seja zelo važna. Slišali bomo zastopnico, ki bo poročala o Sansovi konvenciji v Clevelandu. Druga važna stvar pa je federacijska veselica, ki se bo vršila 13. in 14. septembra v naselbini Ke-public. Na tej seji moramo u-kreniti vse potrebno za to veselico. Na dnevnem redu bo še več drugih stvari. Želeti je, da pošljejo svoje zastopnike vsa društva. Posebno pa opozarjam nadzornike, naj pridejo skupaj pred sejo in pregledajo knjige. Seja se prične ob eni uri popoldne novi čas. Torej na svidenje 27. julija na federacij-ski seji. Jacob Baloh. predsednik.

F. Fifoli Comrade*' Picnic. July 5 CLEVELAND. Ohio.-With fiIne father prevailing Comrades first ¡2,1 event of the season went over successfully. Approximately 75 individuals gathered at the SNPJ Farm to partake of the wiener roast, ^ hamburgers and the liquid refreshments. Balina playing got its ¡hare of attention. The Beljans, Kerens. Yorks, Prijatels got rid of the youngsters that night. Joe and Mary Ocvirk and their kids from Harwich Pa., were also present, joe incidentally, received quite a trimming on the balina court from Ed Tomsic. He stated things would be different when Ed will be taken over on his home courts. Pauline Spilt Pauline Ross, Antoinette and Rose Skok, Albina Vehar saw to it that everyone had plenty to eat. Dani Fifolt and Pauline Ross were the woodsmen who sawed down a couple of trees to provide the firewood. Twas an early hour when the gang left Manager Kerze to fall in for a much needed 4rest. Canceled Dates John Tavcar, secretary of the National Home informed the writer that our August 23 and August 29 dates at the Home had to be can-celed. Evidently pressure groups led by good friends of the Comrade lodge sold someone the idea that they were tired of seeing the lodge use their funds for Farm and Juvenile donations. S N. P. J. Farm Rainy weather has somewhat dampened the success of picnics at the Farm so far this year. Lodge Naprej were rained out, although the crowd of Comrades and Naprej members on the bus, piloted by member Frank Elersich enjoyed themselves a lot. Singing Society Zarja also rained out. The Loyal-ites on the 4th picked on a good day and had a very successful affair. Improvements on the Farm are progressing slowly. Question of funds it one draw-back. Suggestion has ben made that a large enough loan be secured from the society and plans pushed thru to completion rather than doing things piecemeal as long as the money holds out. The concrete separator walls on the balina courts have been started .tables and benches are being put up; excavation fo rthe cooler has been dug; the ball diamond roughly graded, the backstop material is on hand ready to be erected; foundation bolts for the structural steel for the ball ready; the swings are on the the parking lot and part of the playground graded, present refreshment stand has had a number of improvements taken care of by Manager Kerze. „ Coming Events Dues collection—July 25.

' Lodge 725, Latrobe, Pa., Lodge 292, Avella, Pa., Lodge 138, Strabane, Pa., Win Highest Honors and Awards; 48 Lodges Top Their Quotas; 351 Lodges Active in Campaign The SNPJ Lodge Campaign, supported by the fitting slogan "Build your Lodge) strengthen your Society." came to a very satisfactory conclusion on June 30th. Through it a record enrollment of new adult and juvenile members was added to the membership ranks of the Society. There hare been other campaigns in the SNPJ which resulted in larger enrollment of members, but never before have we had one in which so many new members were secured for the Society in a period of only four months. The Lodge Campaign, therefore, has definitely established itself in the records as one of the Society's major membership-building successes. • Nearly one thousand members were enrolled in June, the closing month of the campaign. In this number were 520 juveniles; the rest were adult members, among whom were 79 transfers from the Juvenile Department. The exact number of new members admitted in June will not be known until some 30 incomplete adult applications, held up for additional information, have been acted upon by local lodge officials according to instructions from the Main Office. How many of these will be approved and finally counted in the official standings of the campaign depends on whether or not the required information will be furnished in due time. Altogether the Lodge Campaign brought into the Society nearly 2650 members. In this grand total are included 1433 juveniles, about 930 new adults, and 284 juvenile transfers. The average enrollment per month was approximately 860, as compared with the previous high of 508. It is a record to which all can point with pride and give full recognition with praiseworthy compliments. The Lodge Campaign was successful, also, because of the number of lodges which participated actively in it. Three hundred and fifty-ono lodges, or approximately 60 percent of the total, were engaged in securing new members. Out of these lodges, 48 succeeded in reaching or sur passing their assigned quotas, thus assuring themselves a place on the Honor Roll of the campaign and the receipt of a Certificate of Award emblematic of outstanding achievement. Some of the lodges not only piade their quotas, but even doubled, trebled and quadrupled them, with several of the smaller lodges going way over the top in this respect. The rules of the campaign provide that special prizes shall be awarded to the three lodges in each Class (A-B-C) who enroll the highest number of new members over their assigned quotas. Furthermore, they provide that a grand prize shall be awarded to the lodge with the highest number of new members, over the quota, in the Society. With distribution of prizes in mind, we wish to call your attention to the fact that elsewhere in this section are published the standings of the campaign, listing all lodges credited with five or more new members each. These, as you will note, have been grouped according to their respective classes. The three leading lodges in each class, holding first, second, and third places in the final standings, are entitled to the special prizes of $100, $75 and gSO/rfcittetftivel/. The Winner of the grand prize will receive an additional cash award of $50, plus a membership enrollment plaque on which will be engraved the names of all members of the lodge who secured five or more new members. The winners of all prizes are assured with the possible exception of the third place prize in Class "B." Here the final results are still doubtful due to several incomplete applications. So far, Lodge 749 holds the lead. The special and grand prize winners of the Lodge Campaign are as follows: A" WINNERS IMPORTANT NOTICE CLEVELAND.

Every new member helped toward the fine progress made in the membership drive. We are proud of the cooperation glvert by those 351 lodges who were active in the campaign—proud and grateful for the splendid work of the officers and members who did the actual soliciting of prospects, filled out the application forms, and took care of all the other necessary details. It was this unselfish cooperation and service which made p<»sible the sue-cess of the campaign. To each one of the lodges and to every officer and member who helped to enroll new members In the Lodge Campaign goes our sincere "Thank you" and "Congratulations" on a job excellently done. Because of your efforts in the recent Lodge Campaign and the efforts of those who secured new members in campaigns conducted in the years past and of others who worked to expend the membership when ther» were no campaigns, the SNPJ now numbers over 70,000 members. A new peak in total membership has been resched We plan not only to keep it there but to reach an even higher level. Soon it will be 75,000 members and some day In the not too distant future, the SNPJ will number 100,000 members. That is a goal to plan snd strive for and look forwsrd to with ever-increasing enthusiasm and anticipation. Although the l.odge Campaign is over, let us continue our efforts to improve the membership wherever and whenever opportunity presents Itself.

Note: Next week a list of outstanding individual campaigners will be published.

SNPJ movws were enjoyed and refreshments aft-ei ward hH just the rpot, too. - Nex« meeting of the lodge will be held on Thursday, July 17. at 8 p. m. Let's have a good attendance this time, too. , . Good lodge news this time is the arrival of baby boys in the families of Mr. and Mrs. "Rudy Gantar and Mr. and Mrs. Anton Opeka (Albina Novak). Tony is a new member of the lodge. Married in June were Elvira Mihevec and Rose Valencic. Congratulations and best wishes to all. Sister Marie Kuznik is in the hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery. In Shriners' hospital in Chicago is our juvenile member Corinne Machnich. Since little Corinne cannot have many visitors and will have to remain in the hospital for some time yet, It would be nice for juveniles to remember her with an occasional card or letter. Perhaps the Perfect Circle will think of her, too. The sad occasion for the lodge was the death of Sister Mary Proaen, who only 29 years old succumbed to a short illness. Her sisters served as pallbearers and the Little Fort members took their place as honorary pallbearers. Besides them many other members accompanied the deceased Sister to her last resting place at the North Shore Garden of Memories. Her husband, Andy Pro-sen, expressed his appreciation to the lodge secretary for the nice way the lodge took care of its responsibilities at the funeral. To him and other relatives we wish to express our sincere sympathy. The operetta presented by the SNH Choral 8ociety on June 21 was an overwhelming success. The characters sang and played well and the dances were just right, too. The roles of the "royal" family headed by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leban were well performed and accepted by the audience, despite the fact that kings and princes are rather stale sublets these times and therefore harder to put over. The "prime minister," Vic Belec, looked as imposing as any prime minister should. Magnates from Hollywood impersonated by Joe Kosir and Richard Peklay were typically American. As solos I liked Evelyn Kukar and La Vona Du Bois. Dorothy Gabrovsek performed fine, only she looked a little too good for the sort of old maid she was portraying. However, the show was stolen by the three rebel soldiers, Bill Jereb, Ignatz Znidarsic and Fred Urh. Although We expect to see this operetta again, I think the part of the three soldiers could be used independently at almost any occasion or party as a floor show. The performance on the whole was a fine reward for the hard work of the instructors. Christine Stritar and Frances Troha. And lastly, the people of Waukegan and North Chicago as well as the visitors from Milwaukee and Chicago are to be congratulated for filling the SNH hall to capacity. If the Choral Society keeps it* present pace for a year, two or three, we shall hear and see some wonderful things. June has also been a busy month for cooperators. A two-day meeting of Central States Co-op was held at the Central YMCA In Chicago. These meetings, where present problems are dipcussed and future developments are made, arc very interesting. Attending from No. Chicago Co-op were Matt Ogrin, Tony Kerzic, Anthony Pierce, John Skoff, John Istenich and myself. A four day camp was tried out at Bo wen Country club, which was enjoyed by 26 youngsters. It had been a success and Co-op Women's Club already began with plans for a longer term and larger attendance next year. Andrew Mozek. who had bad luck of breaking his ribs in Cleveland, is back at the Co-op store again. He says that "nothing feels better than to be back at the 10th street store" except to be at SNH. of course. Another happy person at the store these days is Manager Matt Ogrin. He says business is fine; just a few-more sales and we will reach the ideal stocktum for our size of tho store. Lawrence Ogrin was married 25 years ago. Friends and relatives re mem be red him and Mrs. Ogrin at a I nice party last week To Lawrence I snd the Mrs. I wish many more hap-I py years. These hot days bring recreation 1 spirit to our community; 16 balina trams are rolling at the SNH alleys.

Th* conference- Is colled "Europ-although the countries repressing two-thirds oi Europe hsve Skied to participate. Why? *r;7oi all. the Marshall plan is Mt dear and lacks specific points Z wh»ch the conferees could air i£ir opinions. Secondly. Russia and the countries in Eastern Europe fear that the plan is another scheme to $up their program of socialization and land reforms. Russia Is justified in shunning thr conference. The Truman doctrine to curb Russia in Europe snd communism everywhere is still all too fresh in the minds of the soviet leaders. Like James Byrnes a few months Ho his successor in the State Department. George Marshall, is now trying to "curb" Russia with an economic scheme, which in reality would be used as a political weapon. Byrnes' policies in Europe proved to be negative, just as Marshall's policies in China were ineffective, and just as the Truman doctrine in Grecce is now backfiring. Would thit we would have another F. D. R. to deal with world affairs! THIS COLUMN has maintained that John L. Lewis, president of the powerful UMW, was on the right track when he demanded higher va|es and better working conditions for the miner». Last week Lewis, the toughest of the tough union leaders, won o victory for the miners frcm even toucher coal operators. What is most remarkable In this victory is the fact that the Taft-Hartley slave labor law was completely ignored and sidetracked. Lit us hope that Lewis' victory will sit a pattern for other labor unions, and also that the Taft-Hartley law will soon be proved unconstitutional in some test case. Of course, reactionary forces are already pointing out that Lewis' victory means higher prices and inflation. What about the enormous profits reaped by monopolists corporations? These boys are the real iniiationecrs! UNIVERSAL military training is gaining momentum. That is, it is gaining support among the powerful and influential people. One of the chief proponents of military training is Bernaid Baruch, who has enjoyed a high spot in government circles for the past three decades. Baruch is an old man, well over 70. and therefore not eligible for conscription. He is also a big financier. The other day Baruch came out with a proposal for total conscription of youth and labor in order to tx prepared in case of necessity. Baruch argues that if war comes we will not have time to prepare u we did in World Wars I and II. But who wants war, anyway? Th< big financiers and munlUons makers, and those forces which would like to turn the clock of progress back. The masses of the people throughout the world do not want war.

According to the Slav Congress the present 18% "voluntary" Increase rent law makes inflation's circle complete. George Wuchlnich, executive secretary of (he American Slav Con greaa of Western P»nnaM atated In his letter to the Governor: "First It was OPA to suffer from the uxe of food corporations, then came the Taft-Hartley Bill sponsored by the NAM, and now the real estate Interests got their rent control luw—all these measures leave the American private citissn wide open to further attacks upon his standard of living—food, wagoa and rent."

Perhaps the simplest way of facing the oroblem In the future Is to say that we have fought for freedom, and that one of the freedoms we must sftsMigfe is freedom from discrimination among the peoples of the world, either because of race, or of color or of religion. The people of the world have suddenly begun to stir and they seem tu feel that in the future we should look upon each other as fellow human livings, judged by our acts, by our abilities, by our development, and not by any less fundamental differences. Here in our own country we have any number of attitudes which have become habits and which constitute our upproach to the Jewish people, the Jupunese and Chinese people, the German people, the Italian people, and it hove all, tu the Negro people In our midst. Perhaps iMtcsuse the Ntgroee sre our largest minority, our attitude towards them will have to be faced first of all. 1 keep on repeating thst the way to face this situation la by being completely realistic.

Murnane. who returned to his home in Oregon last October, was at first denied unemployment in su ranee on the grounds that he ha«l left his )ob in California voluntarily and was no longer living in the state. Murnane decided to appeal the decision and after seven months re-calved a ruling in his favor.

This la the third test caar tnvolv ing jobless insurance pay menu in which Murnane. a former representative of the IntI Woodworkers (CIOl, has been involved The oth er two caae» established a preceden for payment of claims to worker locked out in labor disputes WASHINGTON (FP)—Since the Republican party h'U8t be given up as lost to tlte labor-liberal cause, ahd the Democratic organization is probably fatally infected with re-action, what are the difficulties ahead for a new third party movement? Although Henry A. Wallace haa reiterated a hope that we try to keep a "second party" in the U. S. by keeping thé Democratic party liberal that hope seems slightly unrealistic in VttKty its record since President Trurttan took the reins. Formation ot a third party Is easier than gettlhg' that party on the ballot. This is because the various state political machines, kept in power by one or the other of the old line parties, have changed election laws to make opposition difficult. Most changes cam« along just prior to 1936, wfeen William Lemke of North Dakot|4 could qualify in only 37 states am his Union party ticket. He was unable to get on the ballot in either New York or California. with 47 and 2» electoral votes respectively. More recently, the Socialiat party won a ballot position in only 28 states in 1944 us ftompared with 45 in 1932. New or small parties are required to go to considerable difficulty through the petition "route to win ballot recognition in 20 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut. Delaware, Illinois. Louisiana. Maine, Minnesota, Missouri. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon. Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Colorado has the easiest requirement—500 names on petitions—but Illinois asks 25.000 and these must include at least 200 from each of that state's 50 counties. A similar requirement prevails in New York. Signatures on such petitions must be those of registered voters, which adda to the hardship and permits the opposition to use the delaying tactic of challenge. In addition to the fixed number of petitioners, some states require a percentage of the vote in the last state-wide elects*. In Pennsylvania \he requirement is for H of 1% of the vote, while California de manda the signatures of 5*%. This means that in California a petition drive for a third party would have-to get more than 105.000 signature*, but in Pennsylvania a total 19.000 would be enough. New Jersey requires 2%, and tho door-In II campaigners would need 20.000 names to win their party a place on the ha llot. Rut we aren't through with the requirements at that, because five states (Alabama. Idaho. Michigan. Tennessee and Waahington) pern-it new parties to win places on the bal-lot by holding s certified convention within a stated time prior to the election. And Iowa. Montana. West Virginia and Wyoming will permit such parties and their nominees to qualify by either convention or petition, while Kentucky and Utah make both petitions and a convention manda tory. Another novel requirement ia practiced In India*. Maryland. Mas sechuaetta and Vsfrmont whereby a party can get a ticket if its registered members polled s specific per. eentage of the vote in the laat state wide election Maryland's rule re quire*. 1%. Individual candidates may get on the ticket as independents in North Dakota, Texas and Virginia. They have no provision for the nomination of candidates from new parties. Florida provides for no candidates outside of the Democratic or Republican parties—forcing third-parties to take their medicine in a write-in campaign. The remaining states have laws applicable to new parties that are less specific, but none are designed especially to make opposition to tradition any easlei1. Anyway you slice it, there's a long and hard road ahead—with first a fight in the Democratic national convention to try to make it turn back, however reluctantly, to the course laid down by Franklin Delano Roose. velt. Good Response To Appeal The United Committee of South-Slavic Americans sent out an appeal to all local committees and affiliated organizations, as well as key people throughout the country, to protest the discrimination of the U. S. foreign aid policy in regard to Jugoslavia. We want to command the numerous individuals and organizations who so readily realized the urgency and importance of the issue and acted so promptly. We received hundreds of copies of wires, letters and messages sent the President. Secretary of State and members of the Foreign Relations Committee and received letters informing us of several hundred others which were sent but copies of which were not made available to ua. People from all walks of life, Americans of gH eircles stepped into action and numerous interesting, human messages found their way to President Truman. It would be too lengthy a task to enumerate or make public even a few df them, but we feel a very significant message was sent by Richard W. Reichard whoee letter we publish in full: Undersecretary of State Dean Acheaon, Department of State Washington. D. C. Dear Sir: During the war my crew was shot down over Croatian territory. Along with 125 Allied personnel, about 40 of whom-were Americans, we were housed and fed in Partisan territory for about six weeks. During that time we occasionally ate Partisan Army food; more often we were fed by a special kitchen set up by the Partisan Army just for ourselves The food which the Partisans gave us waa two or three times as much as that which they fed their own soldiers, although we were inactive and their soldiers were required to perform regular military duties I now read that several million people in the very territory in which this happened in the Fall of 1944 are in danger of starvation. . It seems to me that for America to give a small bit of the wealth of its farms to the people of Jugoslavia would be not only a demonstration of the natural charity of the American people but also s well-earned reciprocation for the treatment they gave American soldiers during the war Sincerely yours. RICHARD W REICHARD humbug: official style WEDNESDAY. Un V ^ By JOHN HAYMES HOLMES It would be far as their >e easy to argue, and I think to prove, that aovem^ iar as meir public relations at least are concerned, are va i *> of deception. When a president, or a prime minister for an "official statement." we mav know with«..» ""«»pie. make« an "official statement," we may know, without further ewdTZV*" is untrue—as when Mr. Roosevelt after ht £ statement in question turn from Teheran, stated officially, "that no secret commitments had been made." When issues the old-time colonies—i I ——anv t\iAm ri a governmental department for example, in which Palesti ----a formal announcement "on 1««» terrible instance of »»¡i ' the highest authority," we may-safe- tion and tyranny than India , v ly assume that the announcement in nya—I should like to know it' i question contains not the facts, but every realistic sense, a Mandat what the department wants us to aymply a colony new sty It a, ** word has been invented lo * like a chanty, a multitude of Z' believe are the facts which are themselves concealed. • "Diplomats," said the great Talleyrand, "are men sent abroad to lie for their country." Tills description may be equally applied to all officers of government. From top to bottom, they are convinced that it is justifiable to teli falsehoods about government affairs. This is assumed to be a clear and obvious service of one's country. No form of public deception is more common than that of deliberately fashioning words with the purpose to deceive. When ugly deeds are being done, one must not use right words to describe them, but rather resort to inoffensive synonyms or circumlocutlonary phrases, to hide reality. "Ez for war, I call it murder," wrote James Russell Lowell In the famous passage ln his Biglow Pa-peri. But It would never do to employ this horrid word "murder" in official dispatches or even historical narratives. So we wrap "the purple testament of bleeding war" in cloth of gold or tooled vellum, and make the ghastly thing beautiful. In the same way, we call the dead, "casualties," as though we had not Intended to kill them; we describe the battle, where the crime of killing is perpetrated, as "the field of honor"; and we make the sword-hilt in the shape of a cross, that the two may be the more easily confused. Wonderful are words and symbols—and their uses endless! It may be instructive to survey the vocabularies we have invented in recent years to mislead the minds of men. We have done this work so abundantly and successfully that it may well be regarded as one of the chief arts and sciences of our time. A few examples will suffice to make clear our point: ENTENTE. We learn early, in modern times, to conceal armed alliances among the nations for purposes of conquest. "Alliance" had a bad connotation derived from centuries of partnership in the business of bloodshed and booty. The Holy Alliance of 1815 had given an especially bad odor to the word, by virtue of pious repression and tyranny on the other. Furthermore, there was always an intimation of armed aggression or offense in the idea of an alliance, whereas in this modern age everything must be done in the spirit of defense. Nations must never take up arms, or agree to use them, except in defense 6f their vital interests, such as territory, trade, or—honor! So, when Britain, France, and tsarist Russia—weird combination!, »decided that they must balance the Tripple Alliance of Germany, Austria, and Italy (1883), they shrank from themselves using this ugly word "alliance," which well fited the "blood and iron" policy of Bismarck, and substituted therefore the gentle and meaningless term, "en-tenteThese nations Were not forming an alliance—Oh, no, they had no intention of going to war! They wese just joining in a friendly agreement, an understanding, an exchange of views, all in the Interest of peace. But when the hour of testing came in 1914, it was the Entente which made conflict inevitable, and the Entente which held together, while the Alliance broke. MANDATE. At the cloae of World War I. the Allied Powers (the dread word had come back!) found themselves clutching a lot of twag In the form of conquered territories, which included German colonies. Turkish possessions, and particularly Palestine. What should be done with all this booty? It could not be just grabbed and annexed, in the good old-fashioned imperialistic way. The Allies had been fighting a holy war to end war, to make the world safe for democracy, etc., etc. Such a crusade could not be now made worldly by profiting in the spoils of victory. The Allies were above such loathsome practices! But they were not willing to pass captured areas back to their former owners. Certainly they could not liberate them. So. reluctantly, unwillingly. they decided to keep them, but only as Mandate*, or ttusted territories. Who invented this lovely word. "Mandate." I do not know, but he certainly was a genius. For see!— the conquerors had all the uses of possession, all the profits and privileges of the old colonial system, all the power of dominion, but none of the odium and reproach They were holding these dependent peoples as an executor holds a will or a guardian a child, or a trustee a deeded property of interest It was all very honorable and unselfish, even sacrificial The mandatory nationa were doing something very righteous for mankind But If one can find m the Mandates any dtstincton from DISTRIBUTION CENTERS Our country was guilty of a monstr^ Ing the Japanese from the w,«t Coast. There 120,000 innocent oet sons. 80,000 of them citizens we I driven from their homes and pron erties wihout a vestige of const, tuional right, and in a spint of extreme cruelty. Of course, these outraged victims of oppression had to be taken care of—they could not even in wartime, be cast merciW ly to the winds! So the government built camps, in which they could be huddled and in some fashion main-tained. In essence, these camps were prison ckmps. The inmates were held irt durance, and no more allowed to depart than a prisoner in Sing Sing before the expiration of his sentence. In Nazi Germany such camps were called "concentration camps '—itself a euphemistic phrase made horrible by whit went on in them. But just for this reason, we could not call our camps "cencentration camp«"-we must have a still gentler euphemistic phrase of our own! So we called these places in this country, in contrast to Germany, "distribution centers." There's a phrase, for you—"distribution centers!" Month after month, thousands of wretchedly un-happy men and women were held against their will in these noisome camps. They had .been stripped of everything that made life precious, robbed of all that hey owned, and then thrust beyond barriers as impregnable as iron bars. But they weren't being confined, or mistreated. least of all tortured! Taken away from homes that were dangerous, they were just being protected, that is all, until they could be given new and better homes! They were being held, in other words, for "distribution" to other sections of the country that would receive them. And so these places of occupancy during this interim period were called "distribution centers." It certainly sounded nice. But just as "a rose by any other name (may) smell as sweet," so I imagine these camps with this charming name still were as vile. UNIVERSAL TRAINING. This is the fine and fancy phrase whic^ President Truman is using to mask the iniquity of Peacetime Military Conscription. No mention of the fact that this is putting our boys into the army when there is no war, or prospect of war! A complete ignoring of the fact that this is a military measure to establish military life in barracks and military drill on the parade-ground! An evasion, or rather deliberate concealment, of the fact that this whole thing is con scriptidh—the forcible seizure of the youth of the nation for subjection to the brass hats in Washington! The President would persuade us that this is simply a system of training on a universal and therefore democratic scale, like a required course of physical trsining for the freshman class in college Hence the phrase. "Universal Trsining!' The President must be simpler than we imagine if he thinks he can get away with this sort of thing For the people can usually detect» fraud.
