AMERIKA BO SKU-¡¡ALAUSTAVmPO-HOD KOMUNIZMA
Važna konferenca med Trumanom in vodi-telji kongresa
POSOJILO GRČIJI IN TURČIJI
VVaihington, D .C« 11. marca.
—Predsednik Truman je predložil voditeljem kongresa program, ki predvideva drastično revizijo zunanje politike in ustavitev širjenja ruskega komunizma ne samo v Grčiji, temveč tudi v deželah Srednjega vzhoda. Amerika naj bi prevzela vlogo britskega imperija, ki je v procesu razpadanja, v svetovnih zadevah. Prvi korak naj bi bilo posojilo Grčiji in Turčiji v vsoti $400,000,000.
Truman je na konferenci v Beli hiši pojasnil voditeljem kongresa kritično situacijo v Sredozemlju. Jutri bo osebno nastopil pred senatorji in kongresni ki, ki se bodo sestali na skupni seji, in jim predložil program.
Voditelji kongresa so po konferenci v Beli hiši izjavili, da bo truman apeliral na ameriško ljudstvo za podporo najvažnejše odločitve v narodni politiki. Vprašanje je, ali naj Amerika uveljavi svojo oblast v vseh krajih sveta, da ustavi pohod in širjenje komunizma na miren način, ali pa s silo, če bodo druga sredstva odpovedala.
Senator Vandenberg, republikanec iz Michigana in načelnik senatnega odseka za zunanje zadeve, je izjavil, da je za ameriško posojilo Grčiji in Turčiji. Izrazil je bojazen, da bosta obe državi prišli pod vpliv in dominacijo Sovjetske unije, če bi jima Amerika odrekla pomoč. Velika Britanija je priznala že. prej, da ne more zmagovati svojih obveznosti napram Grčiji..
Posojilo Grčiji v vsoti $250,-000,000 bi podprlo majajočo se Krško ekonomijo, .omogočilo vzdrževanje monarhistične vlade v Atenah in oboroževanje Krške armade, ki se mora boriti proti levičarskim silam. Slično Posojilo Turčiji bi ojačilo njen odpor proti Rusiji. Amerika naj bi pošiljala tudi orožje in strelivo Grčiji in Turčiji, ameriški častniki pa naj bi vežbali čete v Grčiji, Turčiji, Italiji, Koreji m na Kitajskem in s tem polagali graditi plot okrog Rusije.
Konferenca v Beli hiši med Trumanom in voditelji kongresa i* trajala 80 minut. Truman je orisal vlogo Velike Britanije v držanju linije proti ruskemu komunizmu v Sredozemlju. Britja delavska vlada je pred dvema jednoma apelirala na Ame-r ko za pomoč. Truman je dejal. da Je premier Attlee prosil Ameriko, "naj prevzame baklio demokracije iz britskih rok, ki X ne more več držati."
Truman je zavzel stališče, da ni drugega izhoda. Evakuacija ontskih čet iz Grčije bi povzroča praznoto in vrzel, katero bi /amas.li ruski komunisti. Grči-J<1 prišla pod sovjetski vpliv sta usoda bi zadela Turčijo dežele Srednjega vzhoda. (;rška monarhija pod načel-i m kralja Jurija je priznala, ne bo mogla vzdržati na *rrT»lu brez ameriške pomoči. ' , ,a * tudi obvestila Wash-' r ,'n da bo morala demobili J J' J del svoje armade, ki t*"ncentrirana v bližini ruake ' «' li Amerika ne bo pri rlla Pomoč.

Vrhovno sodišče zavleklo odločitev
Rudarska unija bo zahtevala zaslisanje
Washington. D. C« 11. marca. —John L. Lewis in njegova rudarska unija UMWA sta izvoje-vala začasno odložitev izvedbe odredbe federalnega vrhovnega sodišča, da morata umakniti obvestilo o oklicu stavke in vzpostaviti pogodbo s federalno vlado.
Sodišče je prezrlo apel federalne vlade, naj takoj udari po Lewisu in rudarski uniji in s tem odvrne možnost stavke rudarjev na polju mehkega premoga. Vlada je apelirala na sodišče, naj prisili Lewisa na izpolnitev odredbe, katero je podalo zadnji Četrtek. Vrhovno sodišče je takrat podprlo obsodbo Lewisa in unije, katero je izrekel federalni distriktni sodnik T. Alan Goldsborough. Slednji je naložil denarno kazen $3,500,-000 uniji, Lewisu pa $10,000. Vrhovno sodišče je znižalo kazen uniji na $700,000.
John F. Sonnett, pomožni federalni justični tajnik, je apeliral na vrhovno sodišče za hitro akcijo. Dejal je, da je potrebna za odvrnitev rudarske stavke.
Welly K. Hopkins, pravni svetovalec rudarske unije, je namignil, da bosta unija in Lewis zahtevala novo zaslišanje. Namen ni zavlačevanje, temveč vprašanje pravičnosti.
Amerika naj nudi pomoč Avstriji
Hoover priporoča potrošnjo $155,000,000
Washington. D. C» 11. marca. —Bivši predsednik Herbert Hoover je dejal, da mora Amerika pomagati Avstriji in potrošiti vsoto $155,000,000 za nasičevanje prebivalcev v prihodnjih 15 mesecih. Avstrija se bo morda postavila na lastne noge čez tri ali štiri leta.
Hoover je predlagal, naj Amerika pošilja Avstriji živila, zdravila in druge potrebščine. On je nedavno kot načelnik posebne komisije obiskal Nemčijo in Avstrijo, kjer je študiral situacijo. Komisijo je imenoval predsednik Truman.
Priporočilo, naj Amerika pomaga Avstriji, uključuje poročilo, katero je Hoover predložil predsedniku Trumanu. V tem je naglasil, da so ruske avtoritete deloma odgovorne za kritično aituacijo v Avstriji, ker so za-
Vaše društvo tudi lahko zmaga
Ta mesec se je pričela zanimiva in važna članska kampanja, ki bo trajala štiri mesece in se bo zaključila 30. junija. Namen kampanje je seveda samo po sebi razumljiv: oja&tl a novimi člani naše druitvens vrsta tar tako ojačitl našo jsdnoto. Dolžnost vseh je storiti vse v naši moči, da bo kampanja čim učinkovitejša ter njen rezultat čim uspešnejši.
Ce se ozremo na uradni razglas kampanje, bomo opazili, da se tekoča kampanja nekoliko razlikuje od prejšnjih. Dočim smo prejšnje čase nudili razne privlačne nagrade posameinikom, ki so v svojem okrožju pridobili največ novih članov, predstavlja tekoča kampanja predvsem tskmo med društvi in deset nagrad je razpisanih le zmagaj očim društvom. Društva so razdeljena v tri skupine: skupina "C", h kateri pripadajo društva do 100 članov, skupina "B", sestoječa z društev, ki štejejo do 200 članov, ter skupina "A", h kateri pripadajo največja jednotina društva (od 200 članov naprej).
Za vsako omenjano skupino so določane tri (S) nagrade in še posebna vrhovna nagrada za tisto društvo, ki bo izmed zmagajočih društev pridobilo najvišje število novih članov v odrasli ali mladinski oddelek ali v oba. Na podlagi tega načrta ima vsako društvo enako priložnost sa dosego ena ismed treh nagrad v vsaki skupini, kajti predpisano število novih članov, ki jih ima vsako društvo pridobiti, bazira na sedanjem številu članstva pri društvu ter na določeni kvoti, ki je sorazmerno enaka za vsa društva. Poleg redne nagrade, samors društvo doseči tudi vrhovno nagrdtto. TUDI VAŠE DRUŠTVO LAHKO ZMAOAI
Da kvalificira, mora vsako društvo najprej doseči svojo kvoto. Ko je ta dosežena, se štejejo vsi nad kveto pridobljeni člani za ugotovitev treh zmagovalcev v vsaki skupini. Vzemimo za primer društvo, ki šteje 80 članov (skupina "C"): najprej mora pridobiti osem (8) novih članov v obeh oddelkih. Društvo z dvakrat toliko člani (160, skupina "B") ima kvoto 16 novih članov, medtem ko ima društvo s trikrat toliko člani (240, skupina "A") kvoto 24 novih članov. Tekma med društvi se torej faktično prične y vsaki skupini šele, ko je kvota dosežena. Naenkrat nam postane jasno, da si lahko pribori prvenstvo v vsaki skupini ono društvo, ki s kvoto vred morda ni pridobilo največ novih članov, toda največ članov nad avojo kvoto. S tem je daha ugodnost za priboriti si prvenstvo vsakemu društvu in prav nobenega izgovora bi ne smelo biti, češ da majhna društva sploh prilike nimajo. Ugodnosti la prllošnost sa vsa društva so enaka.
Poleg društvenih nagrad pa so razpiaane privlačne nagrade tudi za posamezne člane-kampanjarje in sicer do $2 u nove mladinake
ter do $4 za novopristople odrasle člane. V tej kampanji torej ni kompeticije med posamezniki, marveč med društvi in zaradi tega bi morali v teh štirih mesecih res doseči lepe rezultate.
Vse pa je seveda odvisno od posameznikov, od onih lojalnih in zavednih članov in članic, ki jim je boljša bodočnost in večji razvoj jednote pri srcu. Kampanja bo najbolj uspešno izvedena, če se vsi ti društveni člani in članice organizirajo po vzorcu naših bratov in sester v stari domovini v udarniška bvigade z geslom: POVEČAJMO NAŠE DRUŠTVO, OJAClMO NAŠO JEDNOTO!
SNPJ je največja slovenska organizacija v Združenih državah po članstvu in najsavednejša po svojih progresivnih principih v obče koristi delavskega človeka v Ameriki in po vsem svetu. V njenih vrstah bi morali biti vsi napredni slovenski Amerikanci ter z nami misleči naprednjaki, ki se zavedajo važnosti današnjega časa in ki verujejo, da morajo enaki biti povezani z enakimi v taki organizaciji kot je SNPJ.
Sedanja kampanja nudi priliko, da vse te zaželjene elemente seznanimo s cilji, nameni in delom Slovenske narodne podporne jednote. Pripeljite jih vanjo kot nove člane in si tako omladite svoje društvo in jednoto z novimi piočmi.

Lake Succass, N. Y.. 11. marca.—Ameriška delegacija je zavrnila ruski načrt glede kontrole atomske energije. Naglasila je, da predvideva ustanovitev sistema, ki bi le pospešil tekmo med državami in ustvaril pogoje novi vojni.
Zastoj med Ameriko in Rusijo glede mednarodne kontrole atomske energije še traja. Var-norflhi svet Združenih narodov je potisnil vprašanje v naročje komiaije za atomsko energijo z navodili, naj sestsvi novo po ročilo in ga predloži generalni skupščini Združenih narodov, ki se bo sesula v zasedanju v aep tembru tega leta.
Warren R. Austin, načelnik ameriške delegacije, je dejal:
"Načrt sovjetske vlade ne uključuje po našem mner.ju konstruktivnih sugestij. Te ne od-govarjajo minimalnim pogojem, ki so bistvenega značsja glede splošne varnosti Načrt ne pred-
videva sistema mednarodne kontrole atomske energije."
Austin je zavrnil obdolžitev, katero je izrekel ruski delegat Andrej Gromyko, da ameriški načrt predvideva ameriški monopol nad atomsko energijo in bi, če bi bil sprejet, ogražal neodvisnost in ekonomsko življenje drugih držsv.
Gromyko je dejal, da skitša Amerika vsiliti pogoje Sovjetski uniji, katerih ne more sprejeti. Ce bi jih, bi se Amerika lahko vmešavala v notrsnje zadeve Rusije.

Laka Sucoeas, N. J., 11. marca. —Grupa nemških nacistov je apelirala na organizacijo Združenih narodov za zaščito. Naci-
i
sti so v britskem taborišču pri Nortonu, Južns Rodezija, Afrika.
Organizacija Združenih narodov naj bi blokirala izvedbo | britakega načrta, ki določa de-portacijo nacistov v Nemčijo.

Nacisti so bivali v Tanganiki, nemški koloniji v Afriki, ko je izbruhnila drugs svetovne vojna. Prvič se je zgodilo, ds so se nacisti obrnili na organizacijo Združenih narodov za pomoč, dasi je njen cilj uničenje nacizma.

Delovodje se lahko organizirajo
Sporna zadeva bo prišla pred kongres
Waahlngton. D. Cm U. marca. —Federalno vrhovno sodišče je odloČilo, da se delovodje lahko organizirajo in vodijo kolektivna pogajanja z delodajalci. Odločitev je bila izrečena s petimi proti štirim glasovom.
Mnenje večine je podal sodnik Robert H. Jackson. To je, da Wagnerjev zakon ne zonika pravice organiziranja in kolektivnega pogajanja delovodjem. "Kongres, ne mi, lahko določi izjeme," je dejal. To pomeni, da bo kontroverzno vprašanje prišlo pred kongres.
Mnenje manjšine je podal sodnik William O. Douglas. Dejal je, da bo odločitev večine zbrisala linijo med upravo in delavci.
Vprašanje pravice organiziranja delovodij je pritirala pred vrhovno sodišče Packard Motor Co., ki ima tovarne v Detroitu. Z odločitvijo večine vrhovnega sodišča bodo prizadete premogovna, jeklarska, avtna in druge ključne industrije.

Beseda o kampanji
iz naših naselbin
Vsaka organizacija, ki hoče napredovati, mora skrbeti za dotok novega članstva. Kjer ni tega dotoka, pride stagnacija in nazadovanje. Od tega pravila ni izvzeta nobena organizacija, posebno pa ne podporna, kajti od pritoka novega, mladega članstva je več ali manj odvisna tudi solventnost, ki je barometer gospodarskega stenja.
Naša jednota je gospodarsko zdrava in čila kot srna. Najbrže je malo podpornih organizacij, ki se lahko merijo z njo, in to ne samo gospodarsko, marveč tudi po vplivu in prestižu. Nekateri nas (jednoto) sicer tožarijo, da smo—"rdečkarskl," toda mi se tega ne bojimo in nam je faktično v ponos. Veliko slabše bi se počutili, ako bi naša jednota stala med silami reakcije, ki silijo nazaj in ne vedo, koliko je ura na času družabnega razvoja. Prišel bo dan, ko bo tudi ameriška reakcija potisnjena v defenzivo in ob steno. To le mimogrede. Rečemo naj še to, da je na našo jednoto lahko po' nosen vsak član in članica, ki ima količkaj čuta lastnega dostojanstva. Na razne klevete in strašila naj se nihče ne ozira, oziroma naj jih odločno zavrne in se ponosno potrka na rvoja delavska prsa —preperele gospode med nami itak ni in tudi ne "iree enterprizer-jev"!
*
S tem ponosom na sami sebe in na našo delavsko jednoto se po-dajmo tudi v sedanjo kampanjo za novo članstvo. Kampanja bo to pot bolj kratka—samo štiri mesece. Potrebno je, da v teh štirih mesecih storimo toliko, kot če bi kampanja trajsls šest mesecev ali vse leto. Časa torej pri nobenem društvu ne preostaja za odlašanje, češ, bomo pa drugi mesec. Css hitro beži in ne bo dolgo, ko bomo stopili v junij, zadnji mesec kampanje. Katero društvo do takrat ne bo nič pokazalo v tej kampanji, tudi zadnji mesec ni pričakovati posebnegs rezultata. To so namreč naše izkušnje vsake kampanje. Pomnite, da zgodnja kura najprej najde zrno. Tako je tudi s kampanjami: kdor se prvi poda na agitacijo in vztraja v njej, tisti bo tudi imel ns j boljše uspehe.
Ako ste nam sledili do tuksj, ste lahko opazili, da neglašomo vlogo društev v tej kampanji. Pri razpisu te kampanje ste tudi lahko videli isto, predvsem pa kampanjsko geslo: GRADI SVOJE DRUSTVO-JAČAJ SVOJO ORGANIZACIJO! Te besede ne sme-jo oststi mrtve črke!
* ' •
Ta kampanja je v resnici zsmišljens v prvi vrsti kot tekma mecf društvi. Zato so tudi razpisane nagrade za najbolj uspešna društva, Seveds bodo primernih nagrad deležni tudi posamezni agitatorji obeh spolov, toda to pot je bitka med društvi, bitka za
prvenstvo.
Kok član manjšega ali srednje velikega društva bo morda rekel: "Jo — kako se nsj kosamo mi z velikimi društvi?" Nikomur naj ne pade srce v hluče, kajti kampanjski načrt je tako izdelan, da se majhna društva lahko prav tako pririnejo v ospredje, do prven-stvs, kot veliks društvs.
V	tej kampanji so namreč vsa društva razdeljena v tri enakopravne skupine in za društva v vsaki skupini so določene enake nagrade Na primer društvo, ki šteje 50 uli manj članov, ima isto priliko priboriti si nagrado in prvenstvo kot društvo z 260 eli več člani. Društvo s 50 sli msnj člsni ims namreč kampanjsko kvoto pet novih članov, društvo z 250 sli več člani pa ima toliko višjo kvoto — 25 novih članov. (Od baze 50 narašča kvota za enega novega člons na vsakih deset članov pri društvu.)
Ce imu v tej kampanji kdo kašno prednost, so to v resnici prej manjša ali srednje velika društva, to je v skupini C In B, kot ps veliks društvs v skupini A. Lažje je dobiti pet ali deset novih članov kot pa 20 ali 25. Ritka za prvenstvo v vsaki skupini pa bo med onimi društvi, ki dobe največ novih članov nad svojo kvoto.
Ce ste nam do tukaj sledell, upamo, da vam je zdaj jasno, kako Rre ta stvar. Kar je zdaj važno, je to, da vse to ne ostsne na papirju. marveč da se pri vseh društvih zganemo in gremo na delo. Vsakdo seveda ni agitator, sigurno pa je prt vsskem društvu kak član uli članica, ki je kos agltatorjs. Samo volje in vztrajnosti je treba, kakor je oboje potrebno pri vsakem delu — da, tudi pri pisalni mizi! In kdor ni kos "sulesmuna" ali sgitatorjs, naj ps pomaga onemu, ki je, to je s informacijami, kje bi se dobil kak nov član, bodisi v odrasli ali mladinaki oddelek. Saj je "štorklja" dandanes zelo pridns! Nsrsščsj za mladinski oddelek se skorej gotovo dob« p«» vseh naselbinah.
*
V	tej kampanji je na podlagi novih pravil tudi ta olajšava, da za idrave .«ebc do 35. leta starosti nI potrebns nobena zdravniška
preiskava, ako se novi član ne zavaruje za več kot dolar bolniške podpoie in $r»00 smrtnine. Ttids društvo morajo biti tukaj previdna! Ak<« je kak dvom o zdravstvenem stanju proailca, tedaj mo rs biti zdravniško preUkan, v vsakem slučaju pa, ako je star čez 85 let in ako se hoče zavarovati ra več kot prej omenjeno vsoto. (Zdravniško preiskavo do dveh dolarjev za odrasle In Me za otroka plača jednota )
H koncu naj poudarimo, da bo tudi vsak sgltator delažen nagrade za vsakegs novegs članu — od s do štirih dolarjev Tah nagrad naj ne bo nihče nikomur nevoMI|iv. kajti ao lahko trpko zaslužene, k» nčno ps ima tudi vsakdo priliko do njih. Včaalh res nUmo plačevali nobenih nagrad, marveč smo sgittralt Iz ideeltzms in povrhu te olsčali nekaj dolarjev pristopnine Ampak dane« je vse bolj komeretalizirano in msterisllatlčno In brez nagrad no gre — vsaj pri podpornih organizacijah ne. Živimo pač v materialističnem svetu, in ako bi ae mu ne hoteli prilagoditi, bi jednota hirala „ Torej vzemimo to tako kot )e in se z velikim olsnom po-dajmo v kampanjo! Priliko Ima vsako društvo, da ae povzpne v sprednje vrste.
OB 35-LETNICI DRUŠTVA LILIJE
Milwaukaa. Wis.—Društvo Lilija je bilo ustanovljeno pred 35 leti, to je bilo tiste čase, ko so prihsjali v velikem številu naši mladi fantje iz stare domovine. Bili so polni zdravega humorja in stremljenja po napredku.'Seveda. tedaj so bili že razne slovenske organizacije in podporna društva, toda ta mlada skupina je hotela nekaj, kar bi pač služilo samo njej kot nekak krožek mladina. Po dolgem razmotri-vanju so se odločili za ustanovitev Lilije.
Društvu so dali uradno ime "Slovensko samostojno mlade-niško podporno društvo Lilija". Pod tem imenom je društvo poslovalo naprej in napredovalo v vseh ozirih. Tedaj se je pazilo, da je moral biti vsak član v tem okrožju.
Nekateri člani so nastopali v igrah že v stari domovini in organizirali so kmalu po ustanovitvi dramski odsek društva Lilije. V milwauški naselbini se je pričelo izobraževalno delo in kosali smo se med seboj za prvenstvo v krasnih dramah in igrah. Zgodovinska igra "Miklova Zala" nam je Še danes v lepem spominu.
Lilija je žela ves čas lepe uspehe in njene priredbe so bile zmeraj dobro obisfcane, kajti naselbina je znala ceniti njeno požrtvovalno delo 'na kulturnem in društvenem polju. Ponosni smo danes, ko gledamo na sadove, ki smo jih ustvarili v teku 35 let, in spominjamo se ustanoviteljev tedaj mlade Lilije, danes pa je močna postojanka naše velike in napredne organizacije SNPJ.
Društvo Lilija je bilo ustanovljeno v naprednem in narodnem duhu in teh smernic je še danes in bo tudi v bodoče. Leta 1934 pa so pričele zapreke in ni kazalo drugega kot društvo reorganizirati. Ustanovljena je bila Zveza Lilija za Wisconsin In njeno lestvico je odobril zava-rovalninski komisar. Potem se je pričelo sprejemati tudi poročene osebe in ženske, kajti samih fantov je bilo premalo. Organiziran je bil tudi mladinski krožek in angleško govoreče društvo, ki je poslovalo pod svojim čarterjem.
Zveza Lilija je napredovala do lanskega leta, toda sprejete so bile take postave v državi Wiaconsin, da nI bilo mogoče majhnim organizacijam poslovati, zato ni drugega kazalo kot se združiti z večjo organizacijo. Izvoljen je bil odbor, ki je imel pronajti, katera organizacija bi nudila najboljše ugodnosti našemu članstvu, seveda, v smislu pravil in ustave.
Pot je bila samo ena, to je ona, po kateri danes stopa Lilija naprej. Članstvo se je na izredni oeji in s splošnim glasovanjem stoodstotno izreklo za SNPJ in stvar je bila rešena. Društvo ima danes večjo ugodnost In širšo pot kot kdaj prej za pridobivanje novega članstva. Torej bratje in sestre, naprej za večjo Lilijo in močno napredno organizacijo SNPJ!
To je kratek opis društvenega delovanja do sedaj. Upam, da bomo v bodočnosti dosegli tisto, kar amo zamudili v preteklosti. Lilija je delovala na društvenem in kulturnem polju vsa ta leta, zalo ji gre veliko priznanje vae naše naselbine ob njenem 35-letnem jubileju. Upamo in telimo, da bodo ob tej važni obletnici kooperirali z nami člani in članice vseh tukajšnjih društev, vsa slovenska naselbina.
Naj bo 35-letni jubilej druš-tva Lilije, ki se bo vršil 13 aprila, aaeno praznik vae milwauške slovenske naselbine. Pridite na to zgodovinsko slavje in vam ne bo žal, kajti program bo nadvse pastor r

| Vpr rorjena bo drama "Sin",
DRAMA "SVET BREZ SOVRAŠTVA"
Cleveland, O.-V nedeljo 16. marca ob 7. url zvečer poda Slovensko dramsko društvo "Ivan Cankar" v avditoriju Slovenskega narodnega doma, 6417 St. Clair ave., krasno novo dramo v treh dejanjih "Svet brez sovraštva", spiaala Mira Pucova. Vstopnina je samo 75c.
Ta drama bo sedaj pryic podana v Ameriki in predstavlja politično ječo za ženske v Ljubljani tekom nemške okupactje. V igri nastopijo: Elizabeta Bla-žon, po domače Špelca (Jose phine Fatur), Marija Svetel s sinčkom (Olga M a r n - Dunn), Frančiška Svetel ali Svetelovka (Josephine M i 1 a v e c-Levstik), Marija Lombar ali Mima (Joyce E. Gorshe), dr. Silva Premk (Ivana Šifrer), Rozalija Kopriv-nik ali Rozka (Ema Oblak Ple-mel), Josipi na Krap ali Kolone-lovka (Frances lic), Štefanija Mojšklrc (Nežka Kalan), vodja v policijskih zaporih Anton Ep-pich, stražnika: Jack Plemel in Andrew Turkman, Simon, načelnik zaporov.
Avtorica te igre Mira Pucova je bila sama pripornica v teh ječah, tako je zajela osebno vse prizore, ki jih boste videli in slišali v tej igri. Vse je bilo resničen dogodek, kar je pisateljica sama občutila. Kaj takega pa še ne, boste rekli, ko boste videli to igro.
V ječi se zbirajo različni značaji žensk, kar so namenoma poskrbeli nacisti. Tako se srečata v ječi tudi Svetelovka in njena snaha Marija s sinčkom, ki si nista nič kaj prijazni. V zapo-< rih so imeli tudi vohunke, ki to sproti obveščale uradnike o medsebojnih razgovorih pripornic. Videli boste surovost nemške policije in SSovcev in vzajemnost pripornic, ki snujejo "Svet brez sovraštva". G avna voditeljica te ideje je Spelca, ki jo i-majo tudi na «umu, da je ubila nekega nemškega oficirja. Radi tega so jo nemški rablji strašno mučili in pretepali, da bi izsilili iz nje priznanje, vendar ni ničesar priznala ali izdala. Ostala je stanovitna.
Iskreno ste vabljeni vsi rojaki in rojakinje iz širnega Clevelan-da, pa tudi iz drugih mest. da se udeležite te zadnje predstave v tej sezoni. Erasam Gorshe.
SMRT ZAVEDNEGA DRUŠTVENIKA
Gross. To— I i it t zo liotom pada z velikega drevesa SNPJ, tako poročajo poročevalci iz raznih slovenskih naselij v tej deželi. Dne 23. februarja pa je preminul br.i Matt Žnidaršič v bolnišnici Mt. Carmel v Pitta burgu, Kans. Pokojnik je bil uatanovni član društva št. 65 SNPJ v Breoay HUlu, Kana., ter do amrti član tukajšnjega društva št. 206. .
Že nekaj let se ni počutil dobro. Resno Ifelari pa je bil zad nje tri mesece. Pokojni Matt je trdno stal v vrsti naprednih delavcev. Nikoli ni odrekel pod pore za kateri koli dobro stvar, bodlai v društveni ali kulturni namen. Bil je tudi dober podpornik podružnice 27 SANSa, mnogoletni naročnik Prosvete in Proletarca ter stalni odjemalec Družinskegs koledsria V bolezni me je fečkrst vprsšal po Družinskem koledar ju "Gotovo bodo naredili'lepega, ker ga toliko čaaa delalo." rekel. Ali 47. letnika Dtlišinskega koledar ja ni 'dočakal. Btl je član Slo venskegs pogrebnega zavoda, kateri mu je preskrbel zadn>o pot na mirodvmr.
Družina je x njim izgubila skrbnega očete. Vsem prizade tim globoko eožalie! Društvo 106 SNPJ pa je Izgubilo dobrega člana, ki ga je treba nadome atitl a novim Članom.
Ker imamo zopet razpisano kampanio za novo članstvo. |e naša dolžnost da zamašimo vrteli. ki nastajf jo s umrlimi čla ni v društvenem imeniku Ne •amo da zamašimo vrteli, pač
pa podvojimo število članov. Gotovo tudi v tej kampanji naše društvo ne bo pri zadnjih v agitaciji novih članov. Posluži-mo se ugodnosti, sprejete na zadnji konvenciji, da se sprejme kandidata v starosti do 35 let brez zdravniške preiskave. C* kateri ve za kakšen prospekt, a sam nima časa, prijavite ga podpisanemu.	John Shular.
AKTIVNOSTI V SO. CHICAGU
S. Chicago. Ill-—Na južni strani mesta Chicaga se bodo vršile tri važne priredbe, katere je potrebno da vsi posetimo.
V	soboto, 29. marca, se bo vršila domača zabava podružnice št. 54 SANSa v dvorani IOS, 10105 Ewing ave., pričetek ob sedmih zvečer, vstopnina 50c. Za ples bosta igrala naša mlada godbenika Kosich in Bozich. Za pijačo in jedačo bo preskrbel odbor. Ves čisti dobiček je namenjen za društveno blagajno, katera je vedno prazna. S tem ui rečeno, da ne znamo gospodariti, toda z nami je tako: kakor hitro spravimo skupaj nekaj denarja, ga pošljemo v glavni urad organizacije SANS, da gre za pomoč in korist našega trpečega nahoda v stari domovini.
S to priredbo pa želimo spraviti nekaj denarja iz razloga, ker se bo vršila konvencija SANSa dne 30. in 31. maja v Clevelan-du, naša narodna dolžnost pa je, da bomo na tej konvenciji zasto pani pravilno po številu članstva in na podlagi denarja, ki smo ga skupaj zbrali za naš narod v domovini. Gledati moremo, da homo na tej konvenciji utrdili solidarnost vseh naprednih ameriških Slovencev za bodoče delo našega naroda v domovini, kateri se je tako odločno in herojski boril proti tujim okupatorjem in domačim izdajalcem, za-eno pa postavil zdravo podlago za demokratično državo in enakopravnost za vse jugoslovanske narode. Torej vsi na priredbo jralružnice 54 SANSa v soboto, 2fK^marca.
Druga važna priredba pa se bo vršila v nedeljo, 20. aprila, v dvorani Barney's Grill, 9231 Houston ave. Priredil jo bo Centralni odbor ameriških Jugoslovanov. Na tej priredbi boste imeli priliko slišati govornike, kateri so se udeležili vseslovan-skega kongresa v Belgradu, kakor tudi druge lokalne govornike. Vstopnina bo samo 50c. Za ples bodo igrali naši domači mu-zikanti. Za dobro postrežbo bo preskrbel odbor. Prijatelji Jugoslovani, pomagajmo našim bratom in sestram v rojstni domovini! Sezite po vstopnicah, da napolnimo dvorano.
V	nedeljo, 18. maja, pa se bo vršila zabava društva Delavec 8 SNPJ. To priredbo smo krstili "poslovilni pozdrav društveni zastavi". Na letni seji je bilo j namreč zaključeno, da pošljemo! zastavo Slovenskemu narodne mu muzej t v Cleveland. Pred leti je bila navada, da smo ko rakali za društveno zastavo, a ta tradicija se polagoma umika drugim navadam. Pravilno je, da zastavo shranimo v muzeju, tako da jo bodo imeli priliko vi deti bodoči potomci slovenskega naroda, t.
Pri na&em društvu imamo še lepo Število dobrih korenin, katere so pred 34 leti pomagale zbirati denar za zastavo. Na njihovo željo se bomo na ta ve čer poslovili od zastave.
Na programu bomo imeli tudi filme iz Jugoslsvije, katere bo predvajal eden izmed glavnih odbornikov. Na tej priredbi ne bi smelo manjkati niti enega člana društva Delavec. Vstoo-nina bo samo 50c. za ples pa bo igral Delavčev trio.
Zapomnite se dstume vseh treh zgoraj navedenih priredb in jih poeetite v velikem številu!

V FARMSKI ODBOR SO DOBILI MLADE MOČI
Cleveland. O-—Poročati imam prav dobre novice o naših izletniških prostorih -SNPJ, in sicer da imamo za leto 1947 več mladih zastopnikov od angleško poslujoč ih društev kot kdaj prej v zgodovini naše farme. V odbore so sprejeli kot sledi: Frank Kerze, predsednik društva Comrades, je prvi podpredsednik farme, John Marolt, član društva Strugglers, je drugi podpredsednik ^arme, Frank Pyke, član društva Lipe, je tajnik, Nick Spehar, član Utopians, je blagajnik. Torej smo letos dobili v odbor same mlade moči, kar je jako razveseljivo. Mladina je polna energije in korajže ter se ne straši dela.
Vsi gori imenovani fantje so aktivni pri svojih društvih. Osta Ü odborniki za 1. 1947: Blaž Novak, predsednik, Theresa Gor jane, zapisnikarica. V nadzornem odseku pa so same stare društvene korenine: Ludvik Medvešek, Frank Šuštaršič in John Strancar. Ti možje so vedno aktivni pri društvih in sploh povsod, kjer gre za povzdigo našega naroda.
Torej iz zgornje kombinacije angleško in slovensko poslujočih društev se obeta lepa bodočnost "za naše lepe izletniške prostore
Letos smo izvolili tudi šest članov v stavbinski odsek: John Šorc, Frank Šuštaršič, John Zaman, Henry Zorman, Victoria Poljšak in Frank Vidrich. Uprav ni odbor je že napravil prece;i korakov glede izgradnje nove plesne dvorane na naših prosto rih, toda restrikcije glede zidave novih poslopij so še vedno v ve ljavi in nismo mogli dobiti do voljenja v okraju Lake, zato se bo odbor v kratkem obrnil na urad v Columbusu, O. Če bo uspešen, potem je upanje, da se bo pričelo z gradnjo dvorane že sredi letošnjega poletja.
Od zadnjega poročila sem prejela sledeče prispevke v stavbii, ski fond, katere je izročil Anton Wapotich, tajnik društva Lun der Adamič: po $2: Anton Prime Joseph Kodrich, James Rugel po $1: Joseph Kraitz, Rose Kraitz, Krist Stokel, Louis Zele A. Wapotich, Mary Wapotich Frank Popotnik, Mary Popotnik in Frank Videmsek; po 50c: Ja cob Cmilogar in Andrew Bole Skupaj $16. Prav lepa hvala vsem darovalcem!

ORGANIZIRANJE MLADINSKEGA KROŽKA V DETROITU
Detroit, Mich.- Kot je večini članstva SNPJ znano, imamo v naši jednoti tudi mladinske krožke, toda mnogi člani ne razumejo ali pa nočejo, čemu so ti krožki potrebni. Evo vam odgovora, čemu so potrebni mla dinski krožki:
Izkušnje nas uce, da so naši sinovi hčere (v mnogih sluča jih) pri naših društvih le toliko časa, dokler oče in mati plaču jeta asesment zanje, kakor hitro pa starši prenehajo plačevati tako hitro prenehajo biti člani ali članice naše podporne organizacije in se raje zavarujejo pri kaki privatni zavarovalni kom peniji, ali pa nikjer.
Kaj je temu vzrok? Vzrokov je mnogo, glavni pa je narava in razvoj človeštva. Mi moramo vedeti, da ima mladina vse dru gačne pojme o življenju in njegovemu vodstvu kot gs imamo mi, stara 'generacija.
Ako slučajno dobimo v društvo kakega novega mladega člana, se bo udeležil ene ali dveh sej, potem pa ga ne vidimo vec na društveni seji. Ns vprašan te, tekaj se ne udeleži seje, eno stavno odgovori: "Kaj bom tam sedel in poslušal, kako se tisti stari člani prepirajo med seboj."
Taki ¿lani nimajo pojma, da so potrebne debate na društvenih aejah. kajti z njimi razmo-trivamo in pretresamo stvari, ki so v našo ih jednotino korist Ds ae pa to njihovo (mladih) teorijo o naših sejah ovrže, so potrebni mladinski krožki. V krož kih se naša mladina uči voditi društvene seje in do neke mere tudi zabava na svoj način, na primer, pfirejajo Igre (kot jih je na detroltskem odru mladinski
krožek z vzhodne četrti) tek.* v raznih atletskih igrah/^ in drugo. Seveda, v* to nadzorstvom starejših članovi pa direktorjev. S tem se mlat na priuči, da je bolje zanjo osh ti v jednoti tudi pozneje ko ia polnoletna in vodi življenje n! svojo roko. Prijateljstvo n do znanstvo sklenjeno v nezn* mladih letih, največkrat traja dn poznih let. In tako zaeno ohru nimo člana ali članico v jednoti ki bi jo drugače izgubili.
Starejše članstvo v naših dru štvih se hitro stara. Ko sem * udeležil zadnje društvene seie sem se ozrl po navzočih in na žalost opazil, da so bili vsi elan stari 50 let ali starejši. Branje in sestre, slika je bila žalostna ali resnična. Mi moramo gledati, da dobimo nov dotok v SNPJ kajti mi se stararfio in narava zahteva, da se umaknemo in ta-ko napravimo prostor za mlajto generacijo. Ako ne dobimo dotoka v zadostni količini, bo vse naše skoro petdesetletno delo zastonj. Naše največje upanje bi moralo biti v mladinskh krožkih, ker iz njih bi bil organizaciji najbolj zasiguran dotok.
V očigled tega položaja in s pogledom na to sliko je društvo 518 SNPJ sklenilo na seji dre 16. februarja, da se skliče ustanovna seja mladinskega krožka v bližnji bodočnosti in podpisani je prevzel mesto začasnega u pravi tel j a zasnovanega krožka. Domenili smo se, da skličemo ustanovno sejo 16. marca, začetek ob dveh popoldne v Slovenskem delavskem domu na 437 S. Livernois ave. Jprošeni ste, da pripeljete svoje malčke in jih vpišite v to mladinsko organiza cijo. Za malčke vam ni treba biti v skrbeh, ker bodo nepre stano pod čuječim očesom enega ali dveh starejših članov.
Torej naprej s to dobro idejo in za močnejšo SNPJ!

DRUŠTVO 31 SNPJ ' PRIČELO POSLOVATI
V	ANGLEŠKEM JEZIKU
Sharon, Pa.—Naj malo poročam, kako smo preuredili naše društvo 31 SNPJ, namreč, da smo ga izročili mladini, ki ga bo vodila v angleškem jeziku. To smo storili, ker smo iz naših vrst izgubili zvestega društvenika br. Joeva Paulenicha. Z njim smo izgubili tudi vzornega tajnika in ustanovitelja našega društva. Pokojnik je bil glavni steber društva do zadnjega izdihljaja.
Ker nismo mogli dobiti nove ga tajnika, smo prišli do zaključka, da bo bolje, da damo vodstvo društva v roke mladim čl» nom, ki ga bodo vodili v angleškem .jeziku. Izvolili smo nov in zanesljiv odbor in nedvomno bo društvo bolje napredovalo pod novo upravo kot je do sedaj
V	društvenih vrstah se že opa/a več zanimanja od strani mla<n ne. Naša mladina je bodočnost naše organizacije in prej ali slej nam bodo morala slediti tudi <v stala društva. (Ostalo bo priob-čeno v dnevniku.—Ured.)

Ne smemo spregledati, da reakcija in kapitalisti delujejo z vso paro, da bi uničili vse delavsko časopisje s to umetno draginjo. Ako se jim to posreči, potem bodo veliko lažje uničili vse delavske unije. In kaj naj bi počeli brez delavskih časopisev in brez unij? Čeravno niso unije perfektne, so vseeno boljše kc nič. Torej naročite se na dnevnik Prosveto, kajti tak list je vaš najboljši prijatelj!
Anton Jankovich, zastopnik Prosvete.

Vprašan je Palestine
London.—ONA—Eden najbolj vročih kritikov Bevinovu zunanje politike, poslanec Crossman, je povedal vašemu poročevalcu, da je delitev Palestine po njegovem mnenju edina prava rešitev, ter da bi morala Anglija to rešitev z največjo doslednostjo zagovarjati tudi pri Zedinjenih narodih.
Crossman je bil član anglo-ameriške komisije, ki je lani preisfy>vala palestinsko zadevo. Omenil je tudi, da bi morala Velika Britanija izjaviti, da je njen mandat nad Palestino neizvedljiv, ter da se bo v teku dveh let umaknila iz Svete dežele.
V svojem komentarju o govoru ministra Bevina o Palestini je dejal, da so nekatere trditve Bevina sicer neresnične, a da se v celoti v njegovem govoru izraža upravičena ogorčenost Velike Britanije napram Zedinjenim državam, ki "sede na plotu" in le gledajo na to, da vlada ne bi izgubila podporo židovskih glasov pri volitvah, obenem pa da ne bi preveč razjezila Arabcev, ki so važni radi najdišč petroleja na Srednjem vzhodu.

Delegacija otoka Cipra na Angleškem
London. — ONA — Leontios, nadškof na Cipru, je nedavno obiskal angleške časniške poročevalce v njihovi gostilni v Fleet streetu, da jim obrazloži namen delegacije z otoko Cipra, katere načelnik je on sam.
Delegacija je prišla v London, da stavi zahtevo popolne J politične svobode ter priključe-nja Grčiji. Dozdaj so dosegli le toliko, da so se razgovorjali z ministrom za kolonije in da so videli člane parlamentarnega odbora za kolonialne zadeve. Obljubljeno jim je bilo, da bo angleška vlada upoštevala njihovo zahtevo. Toda navzlic temu se je njihova zadeva vendar zelo zavlekla, tako da ne morejo ostati dalj^ časa v Londonu— vsled tega so sklenili predati svoje zahteve angleškemu časopisju.
Delegacija je prispela v London že meseca decembra. Sestavljena je iz vseh slojev prebivalstva in je zahtevalu združitev z Grčijo. Kolonialni minister jim je ponudil le nekoliko bolj liberalno ustavo, brez svobode. Nakar se je vse skupaj ustavilo. Otok Ciper je bil v teku stoletij v rokah neštetih tujih osvojevalcev. Egipčani, Fe-ničani in Perzijci, Rimljani in Benečani, Turki in drugi so se vrstili drug za drugim — toda zdaj zahteva ljudstvo zopetno priključenje Grčiji. "To je naša usoda", je dejal škof Leontiss.

Kruh na Francoskem bo črn
Pariz —ONA—Uradno je bilo objavljeno, da bo meseca marca kruh v Franciji znatno bolj črn. Primes bo preko 10 odstotkov ajde, ovsa, ječmena ali koruze. Vest je Francoze zelo neprijetno presenetila, posebno radi tega, ker je Francija lani pridobila približno toliko pšenice kot pred vojno. Ljudje ne razumejo, zakaj moraj« jesti ravno zdaj po vojni črn kruh kot kdaj koli prej.

Predsednikova kolona
O AMERIŠKEM SLOVANSKEM KONGRESU
"Vam. ki sta pomagali graditi ta Zodinjsns drisve v tovarnah in ns kmatilsh tar tako bogato prispovsli k narodni kulturi— vam ni Iraka pripovodovatl o pomenu Amarika in nja volika blsgodsti"
"In vas, ki sta poslsli svejs sinova v boj tar kovali zmagovito vojno orožja, ni traba prigovarjati, da ohranita pogum in ss-upanje."
Gornje je izrazil pokojni predsednik Franklin D. Roosevelt, ko je svoječasno poslal svoj pozdrav sredozapadnemu oddelu Ameriškega slovanskega kongress. Ob priliki prvega velikega zborovanja te organizacije, ki ee je vršilo na pomlad leta 1942 V Detroitu, pa je rekel poleg drugega: "Amerika Je ponosns ns svoja alovsnske državljane!"
To so izjsve velikegs pomena in gotovo segajo globoko v srce vsakega dobrega ameriškega Slovana in vsakogar slovanskega porekla. In vzbudile so posekno zanimanje zlasti, ker jih je izrekel moi na najbolj odličnem mestu te dežele, in ki je užival visoko spoštovanje ne samo doma. temveč vseh razumnih in do-brohotečih ljudi po vsem svetu.
Da pa je prišlo do teh izjav m še mnogo drugih priznanj in lepih pohval ob raznih prilikah za časa vojne od strani državnikov in drugih oseb na visokih poloiejih ameriškim prebivalcem slovanskega porekla, pa je dala največ povod aktivnost organizacije, ki se imenuje Ameriški slovanski kongres. Kot tnano, v tej organizaciji sodeluje tudi naša jednota in ker je važno, da se z nje aktivnostmi bolj podrobno seznanijo naši člani in vsa amenško-slovenska javnost, prinašamo v naslednjem nekaj kratkih podatkov o postanku ter namenu in delu te organizacije:
Ameriški slovanski kongres jc nestrankarska organizacija Ame nkancev slovanskega porekla. Je to v pravem pomenu besede organizacija organizacij. Pnztdcva si predvsem, ds privabi v svoj delokrog vse slovanske podporne in kulturne organizacije delavske unije in druge napredne skupine, za sodelovanje za pošten, pravičen in trajen mir, gospodarsko sigurnost in splošen napredek.
Ideja za skupno organizacijo Amerikancev slovanskega porekla se je porodila že pred desetletji, toda pojmi so se prav izčistili In kot simbol ameriškega edinstva se je Ameriški slovanski kongres ustanovil šele ob priliki japonskega napada na Pearl Har-bor in vstopa Zedinjen h držav v svetovno vojno. Ugotovljeno Je. da so delavci slovanskega porekla tvorili 51 odstotkov v težkih <voJnlh industrijah, da so izvrstno opravljali svojo delo in velikodušno prispevali s svojimi energijami in drugače na vseh fron ta h vojnega napora lz zgovorrega dela ameriškega ljudstva je Ameriški slovanski kongres mahoma postal važen glasnik, izra-lujoč želje in inspiracije nad deset milijonov ameriških Slovanov ter važna organizirana *iln imcriške demokracije.
Kakor tedaj, tako Amerikann slovanskega porekla vztrajamo pri tem. da mora zmaga zaveznikov pomeniti res to, zakar se Je ameriško ljudstvo borilo. Zuto se borimo naprej za trajen in pravičen mir, sloneč na prijateljstvu, sporazumu in medsebojnemu zaupanju \i»eh narodov, predvsem pa med Zedinjenimi državami in slovanskimi deželami. Zakaj prijateljstvo med ameriškim ljudstvom in Slovani Je temelj bodočega miru. Zato Amerikanci slovanskega porekla drage volje sodelujemo z de lavci m drugimi 1 beralno mislečimi in naprednimi silami za upostavljenje Rooseveltovih smernic v odnošajih z inozemstvi in za ohranitev zveze "velik h treh". Za to se je izreklo ameriško ljudstvo, ko je Roosevelta ponovno izvolilo in mi zahtevamo, da njegov nasledn k tako nadaljuje. Ameriški slovanski kongres poziva delavski» in druge ljudike organizacije, da vztrajajo, da pred*edn.k Truman in kongres v VVashingtonu daje življenje Rooeeveltovemu /uk« nu. znanemu kot "Economic Bili oi Righta," in obsodijo reakc.onaino tepubhkansko in južnjaiko psevdo-demokratsko kon! e jo, ki je na delu, da se odpravijo vai napredni in za ljudktvo dobri zakoni, ki /e obstoje, vsak hoVi predlog i:epre<inega značaja pu te vnapiej onemogočijo, istočasno pa ae pritegujejo /a zakone, ki vodijo v nevarno inflacijo in neizogibno gospodarbko krizo
Ameniki slovanski kongres it.m nalogo, ds podučuje in vzbujsj ljudi slovanskega porekla k zavesti ter Jih pridobi, da ae kot ae*tk\na edin u a v t>olitčntm Mljenju te dežele udejatvuje ter pomags izvolit kandidate, ki to napredno orientirani In za ljud stvo korutne /sk< nt ter za napredni program v zunanjih zsde veh Amerike Z odločnim nastopom ter skupno s drugimi delavci in napredni skup nami imajo možnost, ds zmsgajo v mno gih krajih m pielenejo leakcknarjc in nazadnjake i: kongresa in dižavmh zakonodaj ter diugih važnih uradov in admim j strat vnih mest.
stvo, ki je kljub vojnemu porazu veliko na boljšem kot drugi, naj se raje ozrejo po deželah in ljudstvih, ki so posula tako straine žrtve nemškega in italijsnskega vandalizma in pomagajo njim. In tiste milijsrde, ki jih nsmeravajo dati Nemcem za u posts vi tev industrij, kjer bodo spet lahko izdelovali kanone in drugo vojno orožje in kar bo v dog lednem času spet zanetilo ogenj ter pahnilo človeštvo v novo medsebojno klanje, naj posodijo slovanskim državam, ki so miroljubna in prosijo za posojilo rsdi velike potrebe za prehrano in nabavo semen in najpotrebnejšega za življenje in bodočega miru.
Ameriški slovanski kongres je v tesni zvezi z orgsnizacijami in drugimi skupinami, ki so na delu za pobijanje sovraštva med ljudmi, kakor je protiiidovsko, protičrnsko in drugo rssno gibanje ter proti linčanju, ki je najsramotnejša pega na obrazu Amenke. Ljudje, ki širijo sovraštvo med ameriškim ljudstvom, se poslužujejo prsv iste taktike kot se je posluževal Hitler, s katero je razdvojil nemško ljudstvo, razbil delavske organizacije in se končno povspel do absolutne diktatorske oblasti, in namen je prsv isti—da nas pahne v fašizem.
S tem je omenjeno bolj poglavitno iz programa Ameriškega slovanskega kongresa, poleg tega pa je še mnogo drugih, navidezno manj važnih, pa drugače ravno tako potrebnih reči, v katerih je direktno aktiven ali pa drugače resno in efektivno sodeluje. Razen tega pa tvori ta organizacija živo vez med 140 milijoni ameriškega ljudstva in 200 milijoni Slovanov po drugih delih sveta. To je živa vez med dvemi glavnimi silami današnjega sveta, ki nam lahko zagotovita pravičen in trajen mir in vsak Američan slovanskega porekla je pozvan, da se pridruži in pomaga utrjevati te vezi.
Za izvrševanje svojih nalog in čimvečji uspeh odbržava Ameriški slovanski kongres svoje konvencije ter razne krajevne konference. Izvršni urad je v New Yorku, po raznih krajih Zedinjenih držav pa pokrajinski oddelki ali divizije s krajevnimi postojankami in drugimi sodelujočimi organizacijami, ki obdržujejo seje, prirejajo shode in predavanja, razpečavajo informativno čtivo itd. Sploh se ta organizacija bavi z vsemi vpralanji na rodnega in mednarodnega značaja, ki so posebnega pomena za Amerikance slovanskega porekla.	V. CAINKAR.

Razsodbe gl. porotnega odseka
Zad^ra društva it. 124 SNPJ
v Foraa! City ju. P».
Pri društvu št. 1Ž4 je nasui nesporazum, ki izvira še od dru štvene veselice, ki se je viiiU meseca marca preteklega le a Dolžili so takratnega društven« Ha tajnika brata Louisa Sa^ raznih nerednosti in da ni oddal in vložil prebitek veselice k,t mu je bilo naročeno. Končno mu je društvo izreklo ukor n nezaupnico.
Br. L. Sasso, večletni tajnik pa trdi, da se mu godi krivica od strani društva, ker ure za njegovo poštenje in se je pritožil na gl. porotni odsek. Ker se je stvar vlekla od meseca do me seča in ostril prepir, in da se dobi boljšo sliko cele zadeve, je bil pooblaščen gl. porotnik br. Frank Vratarich, ki živi v bliži-ni tega društva, da stvar osebno preišče in zasliši obe strani.
Iz cele korespondence, kot tudi poročila br. Vrataricha, je razvidno, da je bilo zelo površno nadzorstvo nad dohodki tiste ve selice in nepotrebno zavlačevanje ureditve računov, iz česar izvira ta prepir, kar pa je krivda kolikor toliko tudi drugih društvenih odbornikov in ne samo brata Sassa. Razvidno je. da je pri celi stvari precej osebne mržnje in veliko trmoglavosti na obeh straneh. Gl. porotni odsek ne odobrava trmoglavost, v kateri je vztrajal br. Sasso; vendar, ker je ugotovljeno, da ni bilo nikakega poneverjenja in da ni dokazov, da je br. Sasso namenoma skušal kaj društvu Škodovati, smo mnenja, da niso bila pravila SNPJ kršena v toliko, da bi izrekli kako kazen. Gl. porotni odsek torej z večino glasov razveljavlja kazni, ki jih je izreklo društvo bratu Sassu.
Priporočamo tako br. Sassu kot tudi drugim društvenim odbornikom in članom, da naj prenehajo s temi očitki eden napram drugemu, kajti povsod, pri vsakem poslovanju se lahko najde nedostatke, če jih kdo išče. Kajti "kdor dela, tudi dela napake," pravi izrek.

H tip to Increase Our
Juvenile And Adult Membership
Lucky Stars 716
Plan Dance in May
IMPERIAL. Pa.—Again a new membership campaign is on so lets ^"f We can hit the mark this time.
J^t forget, Lucky Stars we were in third place in the last drive. 111 try and get mine, and all members
try to get theirs,
Spring will soon be here and we must get things a-rolling regarding our juvenile members.
Bowling. We had lost the double-header with Sygan. the men and ladies, on Sunday. Feb. 23, and on Wednesday, Feb. 26. The ladies won three games from Harmarville, and the boys took two. Last Saturday we were scheduled to bowl Am-bridge.
Sis. Bertha Griffith is now off the sick list. Congratulations to
Mr. and Mrs. Steven Miklavsen who are proud parents of a baby girl, a Lucky Star, who reside in Philadelphia.
Reminding all from far and near not to forget the May 3 dance to be held by the Lucky Stars. Harmarville has never been in Imperial until the night of bowling, so come May 3 as the snow will surely be gone by then. Also, the Slovene Home is being repaired and it looks good what they have done. (Your letter postmarked March 3 at 3:30 pm couldn't possibly have reached us in time for last week's issue.—Ed) POLLY SLADICK, Sec'y.
Forward, Loyalties!
CLEVELAND. O.—Loyalites' veterans banquet and dance was held last Saturday at the Slovene Hall on Holmes. The occasion was for our 43 servicemen who have returned from service. We still have two who were unable to attend, namely, Joe Bertose who is out in South Africa, and M/Sgt. Mary Miklich who is Ftationed in Tokyo, Japan. Our one Gold Star.

Your Lodge Has a Chance to Win
This month marks the beginning of an interesting, yet important membership campaign which will last for four months and will conclude on June 30. Its purpose is very obvious: to build up the rank and file in our lodges and thus strengthen the SNPJ. Each
and every one of us must do his and her utmost in order that the campaign may become the most effective and its results the most successful.
If we glance at the official rules, we find that the current campaign differs in some respects from the previous ones. While we formerly offered attractive awards and prizes to the individual contestants who enrolled the greatest number of new members, the current campaign represents primarily a contest between the lodges, and the ten prizes offered will go solely to the winning lodges. These are divided into three separate groups: Group "C" includes lodges with membership of 100 or less; Group "BM indues lodges with membership up to 200, while "Group "A" comprises the largest lodges of SNPJ (with membership above 200).
There are three (3) awards provided for each group and an overall award for that particular lodge which will, during the campaign, enroll the greatest number of new adult and juvenile mem bers. On the basis of this plan, each lodge has an equal opportun ity to win one of the three prizes in its own group, and in addition thereto it has a chance to win the grand prise. This is possible, because the required number of new members to be enrolled by each lodge is basd on the present membership and upon the assigned quota which is proportionally alike for all lodges. Your ledge ha« a chance to win. tool
In order to qualify, each lodge must first attain its quota. When this is reached, all the new members above the quota will court in the determination of three winners of each group. Let's take for an example a lodge with 80 members (Group "C"): its quota is eight (8) new members in the Adult or Juvenile department, or both. A lodge with twice as many members (160, Group "B") has a quota of 16 new members, while a lodge with three times as many members (240, Group "A"), has a quota of 24 new members. Thus the contest between the lodges begins in each group after their quota has been obtained. All at once it becomes clear that the top rank in each group may be attained by a lodge that had not necessarily enrolled the highest number of new members, but the greatest number above its quota. In this manner each lodge has the opportunity to win in the contest, and there should not be any excuse for not trying on the grounds that the smaller lodges were not given the chance. On the handicap basis, and this con test is so based, the opportunity is alike for all.
In addition to group awards for the winning lodges, attractive cash prizes are being offered to the individual contestants, ranging up to $2 for each new juvenile member and up to $4 for each adult. There is no contest in this campaign between the individual, but rather between the lodges, and for this reason we should be able to realize during these four »months some wonderful results.
Everything, however, depends on the individuals, on these loyal and SNPJ-conscientious members, both men and women, who have at heart the better future and the greater development of our Society. The best results will be obtained if in each lodge these energetic members organize themselves into membership drive teams under the slogan: BUILD UP OUR LODGE, STRENGTHEN THE SOCIETY.
The SNPJ is the largest fraternal Society in the United States with the Slovenian background; she is first and the best in benefits and security offered to her membership, and in the light of her progressive principles, she is the most class-conscious—for the general welfare of the workingman in America and the world over. Her rank and file should include all the progressive Slovenian Americans and their friends who think along our lines, who are cognizant of the importance of our times, and who believe that the like should be united with the like within the ranks of our Society.
Our current campaign offers an opportunity to acquaint all these desirable elements with the aims, purposes and functions of the SNPJ. Enroll them as new members and thus strengthen your Lodge and the Society.

* Morning Stars * Lodge
PITTSBURGH, Pa—Just a reminder of the coming Morning Stars' dance which will be held on Saturday. April 12. in the local Slovene hall. The music will be furnished by that ever-popular Frank Perovne and his Musical Stylists who hail from nearby Verona. Prank is really on the beam with his polkas and waltzes so come and join the fun on that day.
The next affair which should attract all you SNPJ folks is the dance sponsored hy the Western Pennsylvania Federation of English speaking lodges. This one too will be held in Pittsburgh with Frank Perovne again furnishing the music. This affair will be on May 10 and since there are no other dances scheduled for that date in the vicinity everyone should attend and really have a good time. This is the first Federation dance since the termination of the war and if we all get behind it and make i( a success. more of them will be held in the future. This is a good opportunity to have all the affiliated lodges together as the only other day is that of the bowling tournament.

CHICAGO.—Another month has rolled around and so did our regular monthly meeting, with very little attendance to account for. What do
you say, members? Let's make the monthly meetings more interesting by attending.1
Bro. Martin Brrgles, our prexy. would be very pleased to have you present at the meetings. Let's put the Integrity in the happy family, like gathering. Do you remember the good old days? We can have them again. Loflge pieetings and lodge activities cun revive a boost if all of us so desire. Fraternalism is good Americanism.
We wonder what happened to such loyal members as the Roychts, Baymbiches, Abrams, Venlcniks, Sitters. Lenassis and so on down the line. The Integrity spirit must rise again. The secretary would like to write more about our lodge activities. but you must get oft the old horse and come to the meeting hall to give us ideas and suggestions how to renew our activities.
Fraternalism I s brotherhood. Unity is teamwork for good brotherhood. In the fraternal fit Id there must be big sacrifices by those who believe in fraternalism and place It above all personal gaina. One must understand and one must sacrifice n great deal in order to understand the human side of it.
Sister Ann Fak is the proud mother of a baby girl. We wish them lota of happy moments.

1 I I'm Like Thit . . , John A. Blatnik of Minnesota was mentioned in last week's issue of In Fact. The spotlight was plae<<d on him by Republicans beruuae he, as a paratrooper, found himself in Jugoslavia with Tito. His impres. siona there, as a first-hand obaerv-er, were favorable to Tito and the new regime. This in the eyes of the Republicans made him Communistic-tinted.
The article in In Fact mentioned the strategy which the Republicans will manufacture for the next presidential election All opponents will be Communists in the eyes of the Republicans, according to In Tact.

We are in need of a campaign but not one for increased Insurant«.

juvenile telegraphic bowling tournament april 19-20
Final Entry Dale Is April 10
Eleventh National Bowling Tournament
The third annual SNPJ National Telegraphic Bowling Tourna ment will be held over the weekend of April 19-20, 1947. As in the previous two years, so again this year, the juvenile bowling classic-will consist of local tournaments staged in various localities where lodges and Juvenile Circles of the Society are established.
The rules of the tournament, which are printed below, provide for two separate divisions, one for boys and the other for girls, each consisting of three events—team, doubles and singles. There will be attractive trophies and/or medsls for the champions and runners-up, as well as for other outstanding individual bowlers in each event. No entry fee is required to participate in this tourney other than the cost of bowling.
Any lodge or Juvenile Circle may organize an conduct its own local tournament as a part or section of the national telegraphic tournament, regardless of the number of entries in each event—or a lodge or Circle may arrange to conduct and participate in a tournament in conjunction with another lodge(s) or Circle(s) in the same locality at a place mutually agreed upon by them. The latter arrangement is recommended for SNPJ centers where there ere two or more lodges of the Society.
As each local "telegraphic" tournament is organized, the member chosen as the tournament secretary should notify the Juvenile Director in the Main Office of this action as soon as possible, and in the same letter furnish him with his address and the lodge(s) and/or Circleis) sponsoring the tournament. He shall also be informed of the name and location of the bowling establishment where the tournament will be held. This is important for the reason that slleys must be sanctioned by the A.B.C., and it is our intention to check with that organization to vertify whether or not a certification has been granted for the season of 1946-47.
The two dates of the "telegraphic" tournament are Saturday and Sunday, April 19 and 20. Local tournament officials have a choice of either or both days, depending on the number of entries re ceived and the convenience of the bowlers. It is not permissable to bowl any event of this tournament prior to or after the dates set in the rules.
' Organise your juvenile bowlers for this tournament NOW! Enter as many teams snd individual participants as possible. Hold practice sessions once every week, or ss often as the members can afford. Arrange to have one or two people, who understand bowling, instruct them in the fundamentals of the gsme.
An Importsnt date to keep in mind is APRIL 10. This is the DEADLINE for all entries. »It is urgent, therefore, to act quickly in organizing your bowlers and sending in the entry blanks. Do not enclose any money as there is no chsrge for entry or participation in the tournament, except the price of bowling which must be paid to the local tourney secretary. If you desire more information or instructions, or need more entry blanks, write to the Juvenile Director, 2657 So. Lawndale Avenue, Chicago 23, Illinois.

It isn't ne< Lory to mail until the last day or until all your teams are lined up, but send them in as soon as you have some of your entries together.
As for hotel reservations, the same
goes At the present time it looks as though we have more than enough rooms to take care of all the bowlers, but what the situation will be at the time of the tournament hard to tell. We've made reservations with the Morrison Hotel. Reservations were sent out with the entry blanks; they are to be sent to the Morriaon Hotel as soon as possible. The hotel in return will notify that your reservation was received.
Do not send your reservations to the Pioneer committee but send them direct to the Morrison Hotel, Madison and Clark.

PIONEER PUBLICITY COMM
By J. J.
CLEVELAND. Ohio.—A roaring March lion whipped through this city piling up upwards of four inches of snow with the temperature howering around the 25 degree mark. In the Slovenian Home where the SNPJ Men's League was in progress another roar could be heard as Frank (Ozzie) Ostanek conducted a blistering attack on the maples as his Cleveland-2 Whix Rids walloped the Loyalite-4 fellows in all three forays.
Frankie winged in a 237 score in the initial gust.-kept the momentum moving rapidly alone with 235 in the second sweep and then staged a late spurt to pile up a 201 game for 673 series, second best mark in the individual efforts. A whiz that is. that's Oscar! Mike Krall's 581 series was best by far for the hapless victims who were snowed under by plenty.
The Utopian-1 Red Raiders kept pace with the league leading Cleveland band by taking three close contests from the last place Euclid 158 scrappers. The cellar occupants put up a stubborn fight and had the defending champs on the ropes until the tenth round when they saw their lead vanish and lost by 12. 5 and 42 pins. Joe "Whitey" Matthews with a 565 set kept pennant hopes alive for the perspiring contenders. William Frank with 493 was foremost for the outfought battlers.
The up and coming Loyulite-2 aggregation spilled the Spartan five three times to take over the fifth rung in the standings. - Captain Louis (Shorty) Zadell triumphantly led his charges with a 565 series that included a 235 game. Bill Schlarb with1 559 was high for the Spartan boys. Better look now. Stan Zupon! Shorty's mob is aiming to knock you off your fourth place perch I

My expert tells n>e that your expert must be a new boy on the railroad, a rookie or something of the like. He says that it is a good idea to wait for the caboose tq go by provided it is being pulled. But. oh brother, what would happen to you If it was being pushed backwards as it frequently is. Better ask your expert s bout that. Tell him my expert thinks he hsd better get back on the auto assembly line, he will be more st home there.

CLEVELAND. O — Surprising indeed was the number of members that showed up at our meeting last Wednesday, and it proved to 'be a very interesting one especially when Walter Lampe excused himself and went straight into the kitchen. And guess what he was doing? Slicing ham and making the sandwiches. Very good they were too. because every one had more than one. So girls, now we know whom we can contact if we are short of help in the kitchen.
As this article is being written we are having three ladies' teams and four men's team* entered in the Eastern Invitational Tourney and we may add another men's team if the rest can make it at a certain time. We are sure of it being not only a financial success but a social one a* well. You can rest asaured that many old-timers whom you haven't seen for ages will be there too; if not bowling but rooting the home team.
It really takes an affair like this to make us realize that being a Slovene is something great, and when we all get together, how jolly and friendly we are regardless of whether you are from Ohio. Michigan, Illinois or Penna. Just wondering if movies will<d»e taken of the invitational tourney. That reminds me. Mike Vrhovnik. were films of the national bowling tourney held in Cleveland last year ever shown? If so, where?
Our 20th anniversary April 13. Frank Vipavec whispered into my ear that we may have another door prize for that day. Remember every Struggler member is admitted free and is eligible for the prizes providing he is present when the numbers are drawn. Each person attending our affair will be given a ticket which will have two stubs, one which he will keep and the other will be dropped into the box. and when the time comes tor) the drswing the tickets will be mixed thoroughly and a member from the audience will pick the winning^ick-et. What could be more than fair? It may be you or I but the qnly thing necessary is. your presence is required. So once more I'll say the more the merrier and may the lucky person be you.

The or in the
...
$10.000 penalty Lewis stands.
The Norris-La junction law states clearly that no injunction can be issued against strikers, but the court made an exception in the case of the coal mines »because they are under temporary government control."
This ruling has far-reaching implications. In future, when any industry "involving public interest" is threatened with a strike, the government can seize the industry and the workers will be forced to continue their work, providing that such a law is enacted after the present wartime emergency expires.
LAST WEDNESDAY I went to hear Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg, ex-chancellor of Austria, sf>eak on his
experiences with Hitler.
He related at length how Hitler forced him to submission, which is now past history. Of course, Schuschnigg defended his own regime, which was clero-fascist to the core, even though he tried to present a different picture.
One wonders haw it is possible that our government permits a fascist dictator like Schuschnigg to tour our country while it is doing everything possible to keep out many sincere defenders of democracy.
Of course, Schuschnigg is a clero-fascist and as such enjoys the support of the Vatican and the Catholic hierarchy everywhere, and our government is very friendly with both.
ASKED DURING the question period why he ordered his army to tire at the Vienna workers in 1934, Schuschnigg replied that he had to "maintain order and preserve the sovereignty" of his fascist regime.
"What chance does the Hapsburg dynasty have to return to Austria?" "None." said Kurt, "but it is up to the Austrian people."
"Do you think Communism will spread in Europe?" Schuschnigg's reply was that he was "dead sure" that it will not, provided that the people will be permitted to express their will freely.
Schuschnigg was very evasive when a*sked privately whether his parents came from Slovenia whehj the surname Susnik is quite a familiar name. Also, if he didn't have to produce his parents' birth certificate at the request of Hitler's agents, which certificate proved that they came from Slovenia.
"No, but maybe my grandparents or great-grandparents came from there,'' he finally admitted.
Perfect Circle's Coming Events'
CHICAGO.—Perfect Circle members had a very good business meeting on March 8. There was a fairly lurge attendance. Among the items discussed was our coming Easter social which will take place on March 29, when our pressure cooker will be given away.
June 7 was set aside for our Circle program. We also decided to buy gym equipment and other things. Other discussions were on our coming Circle participatpion events. We also got two new members.
After the meeting was adjourned the kindergarten group played games such as musical chairs, farmer in the dell, and passing the keys. Then this group was joined by the older group playing various other games. We also played ping-pong and our favorite balloon Volley ball game. *

Memo: For Circle Directors' Conference
CHICAGO.—It is not to soon to start thinking and planning for the Circle Directors Conference which is scheduled for the latter part of August. There are many problems confronting Circle directors that should, and probably will be brought to the attention of those vitally interested in the Circle movement in the SNPJ.
A problem, and one that I believe to be a serious one, is that of the Circle directors themselves. The focal, or nerve-center of any Circle, in my opinion, is the head of the Circle, and we can also include and consider the assistants, as they are supposed to take the place of the Circle director if and when the necessity arises.
Organizing a Circle is usualy not too difficult to bring about, especially where active lodge officers and members cooperate; but, when it comes to obtaining a good, depend-able and responsible person to take over the Circle, and keep it functioning as an organization, that seems to be a horse of another color. In many cases, one of these same active 'lodge officers, having pride in their lodge and the SNPJ, take over the job just so they too can have a Circle in their midst, and then they really are stretching their fraternal duties to their utmost. For the average person, directing a fairly active Circle, and keeping it progressive is fraternal work enough. Working and guiding children several times a month, in some cases several times a week, is work that compares and even goes beyond comparison of lodge work.
The problem therefore seems to be HOW to get more capable people interested in Circle management, and HOW best >o keep this interest, and instill it in others as they go along. A "capable" person, in my opinion, does not necessarily mear. one that has had specialized training of any kind where children are concerned. although it does help. Any sincere parson who la willing to devote some time regularly working with children, holding meetings, teaching, and conforming to all the ideals and principles of the SNPJ. preparing simple programs, having outings and parties. etc.. working thus with the children, learning mostly by the "trial and error" method results In a "capable Circle
director," "and one that is a bona-fide product of the SNPJ.
As a rule, this cannot be accomplished in just a few weeks or even months, as it takes much time for the Circle director, assistants anil the children to tako each other's measure, learn to work, play and cooperate together, all in the best interests of a common union—a Juvenile Circle of the SNPJ. Tim then brings about the question of the desirability of electing Circle directors ¡for the period of one year only. Keeping and maintaining . Circle director in office for a longe period than one year will result in experienced, qualified Circle directors, who also have been working right along with teen-age Circle members, unconsciously, in a sense of the word, training them to be in a position to know something about Circle work, and making them fit and capable to accept responsibility of the same type in later years to come, i
True, there are many capable Circle directors at the head of Circles now, but it cannot be denied that more will be needed, and others will have to be guided and assisted along from time to time. How is this to be accomplished? Round table discussions,'or meetings periodically in different sections of the country? Field work of a personal nature from the main office? Voluntary training courses to be held a day or so prior to any Qircle director meetings or conferences?
Maintaining a special problem bureau where Circle directors can send problems of any nature, big or small, and then getting personal or specialized help, and at the same time giving the SNPJ an insight to what confronts Circle managers7 Where, and how, do the lodges fit in the Circle situations? The compensation problem will also need more thought and adjustment, not only where the SNPJ, the lodges, but also the individual is concerned. These are just a few questions that should J>e given careful thought and consideration now, not only by those interested primarily io Circles and their function, but by every progressive SNPJ individual, if we are to build a more firm and secure foundation for the Circle movement in the SNPJ.
With so much chaos and uncertainty facing all of us, not only in world events, but where our children are concerned, SNPJ parents should take a more than casual interest in the worth and growth of a Circle in their community. I believe that a time will come when we parents will be thankful for un SNPJ. Juvenile Circle—a p*lace where wo can safely send and entrust our children—a place where they can go U> play, work, and learn such ideals and principles as will benefit them to grow up as good Jiard-workjng citizens, a credit not only to the SNPJ, their parents, but to themselves as well, which is most important of all to any human being.

CHICAGO. III.—Entry blanks for the National SNPJ Bowling Tournament were mailed to all lodges which have shown promise of or-ganizing teams or having competed in previous tournaments, over a week ago. By now, those in charge of athletics in the various lodges have had a chance to go over the entries and start working on their teams. As always, additional entry blanks are available. All vou need to do is sond for them to the undersigned at 2610 S La w ltd u le Avenue. Chicago 23, III. Those sponsoring teams should understand that there are two sets of entry blanks. The yellow colored set are ror the Class A bowlers and the others for the Class B bowlers. The reverse side of the entry lists all the rules and regulations and the manner in which the two classes are determined. These rules and classes were set up by the National Athletic Board of the SNPJ and the Pioneers, sponsoring the 1947 tournament, want to carry them through. We urge all of you to fill in the entries as soon as possible- and get them in early.

Not only have the entry blanks been mailed but one of thum, completed, has already been returned That's for the team of Stanley Zele. Incidentally, Stanley has been tutoring a squad of five boys and they show a great promise as bowlers. They have the distinction of being the first to enter the tournament. Certain things ahould be said about the entry blanks. We prefer to have all Class A bowlers use the Class A entry blank, even if It Is only for one event and even if thfit same bowler shoots with a Class B team while shooting the singles in the upper class. This will eliminate any possible difficulty. — The Cascade Bowling Center is a popular bowling spot, is well kept up and has sufficient facilities to take care of the bowlers properly. It is now being used by the Herald-American for their tournament. .
a 'a • • Last Friday night I presided at a meeting of the Toman Library Forum. where A. D. Fowler lectured on Plastics. It was an interesting lecture from m*ny standpoints, but especially from the standpoint of getting some idea of what plastics are and how tfcey ar* made. The surprising thina is that about 50%
of every plastic is wood ground into flour and then compressed into its condition with a pressure of 2000 pounds to the square inch. The attendance was good. — Alexander Graham Bell, the Inventor of the telephone, would have been 100 years oki last March 3. Our juvenile circles could devote all sorts of skits in connection with this anniversary and the manner In which the telephone was discovered, how it is put together now, and how useful it has proven. Mankind has benefited tremendously and we can show in our skits how our dailv toils are made easier because of the telephone.—Louis Adainic »»poke to a large audience at the Amalgamated Center last Sundav and was well received. He explained, among other things, the manner in which our State Department Is playing with the game of politics and could very easily find us In a very serious catastrophe. Brother Adamic has made a lot of interesting talks In the past few months, each one of them well founded and well presented.	-

Oti the Horns of a Dilemma
Greece is a small country. It's population totals only 8 millions, and in area it Is not laraer than One of our eastern seaboard states. Yet, its internal criae« will determine our foreign policy for years to "come. The peace of the world, too, may hang in the balance.
As we well know, the valiant Greeks were one of the first people to oppose the Axis aggression. After much suffering and loss of life thay, with the aid of British soldiers, drove out their oppressors. The British have remained to "pit-lice" the little country. Actually, they have helped to net up a puppet regime with King George as the titular mlei
This regime that was approved by the electorate (the leftist parties didn't participate in the voting) has had continuous trouble. One of the reason for this trouble is that the Greeks don't believe in accounting. Grafting politicians have had a field day with the public treasury.
England has been pouring money and troops Into thia unhappy land. Still, the government has not become self-sustaining. England, per-haps, would have reinforced this tottering government indefinitely, but she is in no position to continue.
The mighty British empire has seen its best days. It is now in the process of liquidation. The empire doesn't have tha money, the troops, or the heart to uphold ot underwrite her empire.
So England has asked us to take over the burden of supporting tottering, if not unpopular governments She is asking us to become imperialist and to follow the policy of dollar diplomacy over the world, And why? Oh. for the sake of "peace" and "prosperity!" For just around the corner Is the big bad wolf, or I should say bear—Soviet Russia. It is freely predicted that if England pulls out of Greece that that country wiU go comunlatic, Some even predict within a month.
Make no burets about (hat, if Bnltish troops and money are withdrawn, the present government of Greece will fall. And Soviet Russia will have another ally In its or bit. With the fall uf Greece, Tur-key, the Middle East, and Italy may join the Moaoow party line. Now the problem confrontig Mar-
shall and Truman, and all of us la this: Should we support a dubious government, 2.500 miles awav far the sake of its anti-Soviet stand? Or ahould we call it ouita. and leave Europe and Asia go their own way.
Both points are dangerous. To have a cocked gun at Russia, so to speak, will not help friendship between the nations. The coat will be unlimited, for dollar diplomacy will lead to dollar diplomaoy ad Infinitum. Also, in the long run. no foreign government has ever become popular in a nation where ita will has been ton»need. Suppose that the people of Greece and the other na-tlons genuinely want some furm of communism. Then what?'
On the other hand, if we are going to continue our unilateral opposition to Soviet Russian expanalon to pull out of Greece would be dts-estrous. Then what?

The admission will be only 50c. The chairmen for thla occasion, Anton Kersic and Victor Be* lee, are determined to have plenty of fun for the people of all agos. Refreshments will be very special, too, thanks to Mrs. Malnvaslc snd her committee.
To mske the occasion complete, why dont you put on that drcas that you liked so well years back, or maybe that certain dirndl that you like to wear at home. No, I don't expect the men folka to wear pink trousers, but those narrow ones that have pinched look at the ankles. Blue Jeans will be fine, too. Wear anything that will make you feel homey.
The night of surprises" March 22 and "Night of Romance" dance March 20 sound good enough as they are but what the committees have under their hats is even better. Chairmen for March 22 will be Dorothy Oabroaek and Richard Peklay.
