Resna mednarodna situacija vznemiija angleško vlado Diskuzije o ustanovitvi socialističnega bloka, Id naj bi tvoril most med kapitalistično Ameriko in komunistično Rusijo London, 27. jan.—Vlada premier j a Attleeja je alarmirana zaradi razkrajanja v mednarodni situaciji. Diplomatični krogi vidijo nevarnost, da bo Sovjetska unija in države v sferi njenega vpliva priznale režim generala Markosa Vafiadesa, ki je bil nedavno ustanovljen v severni Grčiji. Vafiades je vrhovni poveljnik grških gerilskih sil, ki se bore proti monarhisti-čni armadi, katero podpirata Velika Britanija in Amerika. *" Drugi nevarni točki sta Berlin in Trst. Sovjetska unija bo morda povečala pritisk za odpoklic britakih, ameriških in francoskih čet iz Berlina, ker sta Amerika in Velika Britanija formirali skupno ekonomsko administracijo v Frankfurtu. Maršal Sokolovski, ruski vojaški governer, je na seji članov zavezniškega kontrolnega sveta dejal, da sta Amerika in Velika Britanija z ustanovitvijo administra cije kršili dogovore, sklenjene na konferenci velike trojice v Potsdamu. Angleži so nervozni zaradi Trsta, ker vidijo možnost komunističnega puča. Pozdravili so odločitev Amerike glede ojača-nja njene oborožene sile v Sredozemlju. Amerika je poslala pomorščake v Sredozemlje, da prestraši države v sovjetskem bloku. Po polomu konference zunanjih ministrov Itirih velesil v Londonu se ja situacija spremenila. Trdi se, da se je Velika Britanija odloČila za izvajanje drzne zunanje politike. Pred konferenco so nekateri člani Attleejeve vlade, med temi Aneurin Bevan, Emanuel Shinwell in John Strachey, izražali mnenje, da je šel zunanji minister Ernest Bevin predaleč in da ni Stavka učiteljev v Chicagu odvrnjena Mestni svet odobril proračun Chicago. 27. jan.—Stavka o-krog 9,000 učiteljev, ki bi bila izbruhnila danes, je bila odvrnjena v zadnjem momentu. Preprečil jo je mestni svet z odobritvijo proračuna šolskega odbora v vsoti $103)400,000. Po akciji sveta so klerki šolskega odbora začeli razpošiljati čeke 14,000 učiteljem. Skoro vse učiteljice in učitelji v osnovnih šolah so dobili zvišanje plače za 25 odstotkov. Uči Uljem v višjih šolah no bile zvišane plače za 14 odstotkov. Čeki so bili zadržani zadnji četrtek, ker ni hotel mestni finančni odbor odobriti proračuna. Učitelji in učiteljice niso prejele plače od 19. decembra. John Fewkes, predsednik unije učiteljev ADF, je naznanil preklic stavke Izjavil je, da se bo vršil pouk v šolah danes kot običajno. Župan Kennelly je prevzel vlogo posredovalca v sporu med mestnim finančnim odborom in šolskim odborom in ga izravnal.

Za ustanovitev bloka so se izrekli francoski socialisti. Predlagali so sklicanje kongresa socialističnih strank v Londonu. Štirinajst strank naj bi poslalo delegate v London. Te stranke so v državah, ki bodo dobile ameriško pomoč na podlagi Marshallovega načrta. Kongresa naj bi se udeležili tudi reprezentanti nemških socialistov. Na konferenci socialističnih strank v Antverpu so bile razprave o ustanovitvi socialističnega bloka, toda akcija je bila odložena. Možnost je, da bo ustanovljen socialistični blok, ko s»e bodo reprezentanti strank sestali v Londonu. Paul Spaak, socialist in pred» sednik belgijska vlada, ja nedavno izjavil, da sa reakcija ne more uspešno boriti proti komunizmu, lahko pa se borijo socialisti. Dejal je. da se strinja z Attleejevo deklaracijo, da je politika Sovjetske unije nova oblika imperializma, ki ogroža blaginjo in način življenja drugih narodov v Evropi.

Kot pravi M. S. Ätewart, znašajo letne premije (asesment) od življenjske zavarovalnine okrog šest milljsrd dolsrjev. Po odbitku zavarovalninskih izplačil in stroškov je treba ves preostali kapital investirati, prsv tsko tudi ve« "zaslužek" od investicij, ki znaša tudi milijarde dolsrjev letno. Kako naglo se koncentrira in raste ta kapital, nam ni točno znano; vemo pa toliko, da se premoženje tega "super" veleblznisa zadnja leta dviga za več milijard dolarjev letno. Sploh je znano, da so privatne cfružbe, ki se pečajo z življenjskim zavarovanjem, postale največje "hranilnice" ljudskega denarja. (Na drugi strani delajo ogromen biznis tudi zavarovalnice, ki se pečajo z drugimi vrstami zavarovalnine, toda o teh tukaj ne govorimo, dasi se tudi v njih blagajne steka ogromen kapital.) Z drugo besedo: Ker ta zavarovalninski biznis zelo naglo raste (lani je zrastel za 922 milijard, za katero vsoto so agentje prodali življenjske zavarovalnine), bo prišel čas, ko bodo zavarovalninske družbe absolutno kontrolirale vse gospodarstvo dežele, vključivši tudi vso bsnČno industrijo. Njih kontrola je sicer že danes ogrom na, toda v prihodnjih 50 letih, ako ne pride prej do fundamental iiih reform, ki bodo izpodnesla privatni kapitalizem, se bo ta kontrola sigurno podvojila ali "početvorila. Ako bo žel razvoj tega biznisa v bodoče tako naglo naprej kakor Je šel na primer v zadnjih 20, 30 letih, lahko računamo, da bo premoženje privatnih zavarovalninskih družb v prihodnjih 50 letih doseglo 150 do 200 ml lijard dolarjev—skoraj tako velika vsota kakor danes znaša vej natodni dolg- 9260 milijard Kdor bo razpolagal s tako ogromnim kapitalom, bo v veliki meri diktiral tudi svojo politiko deželi. Sicer se to že sedaj dogaja, kajti glavno besedo ima Wall Street, kt kontrolira tudi ves Inšu remnt biznis. (Zato zavarovalninski agentje navadno silijo novim klientom tudi take zavarovalninske "jjolice", ki so zanje in za svoje delodajalce najboljše, kakor pravi Stewart.)

Sploh ne vem, komu koristijo objave bolniške podpore in zakaj je to potrebno. S priobče-vanjem splošne bolniške podpore, se je pričelo po waukegat|-ski konvenciji. Zagovorniki togo sklepa so poudarjali, da je jMitrebno objavljati imena ip vsote bolniške podpore, da bodo vsi člani vedeli, kdo in koliko podpore prejme, da se tako lah-io drži boljšo kontrolo nad društvi, češ, da mogoče kakšno društvo odobri podporo članu a)l članom, do katere niso bili upravičeni v smislu pravil. Kolikor je meni znano, nI nobeno društvo ali posamezni ¿lan vseh 22 letih obtožil drutfo društvo, da nakazuje bolniško podporo članom, ki niso v smi slu pravil upravičeni do nje. Hfi da je tako napako izsledil v priobčeni koloni bolniške podpori. Menda vendar zaupamo drti-štvom, da so poštena in pravična pri odobritvi bolniške pod pore.

Pokojni Blažič—kot mi je sam pravil pred dobrim letom in pol, ko sem ga obiskal—je t?U domu iz Gorenjske io v prvih letih njegovega bivanja v Ameriki je )il v Kansasu med premogarji. Pozneje se je bil naselil v južni llinois, kjer je vršil isti posel; od tam pa je odšel pred več kot 20 leti v Fontano, kjer si je nabavil farmo. V zadnjih nekaj letih je začel bolehati na pljučih, in slednjič se je moral podati v bolnišnico, kjer je dne 12. januarja 1.1. podlegel. V kolikor mi je znano, zapušča v Fontani ženo, sina in njegovo ženo. Če je imel pokojnik kaj drugih sorodnikov v fontani ali kje drugje v Ameriki, mi ni znano. Pokojni Blažič je bil kremefiit značaj; vedno čuječ zasledovalec lokalnih, narodnih in mednarodnih problemov, ki so izhajali bodisi iz delavskih vrst, znanstvenih, gospodarskih ali političnih institucij. Pri ustanovitvah mladinskih. krožkov ali organiziranju odraslih, je bil vedno v prvih vrstah. Nedvomno ga bodo naši rojaki v Fontani, ki se zanimajo za društveno in prosvetno življenje, težko pogrešali. Tako se poslavljajo od na s naši stari prijatelji in borci .. .

Nekaj članov našega društva 107 mi je omenilo, da bi o tem razprav-ljsli v glasilu ln ds bi kaj dobrega okrenili v korist članstva ln jednote. Nekoteri nomreč menijo, da bi bilo koristno združiti vsa tri društva, tako bi laže dobili dobrega in zmožnego tajnf-ka ir, predsednika, kajti ta dva odbornika sta glavna voditelja društva; seje pa bi vodili v angleščini, tako ne bi bila taka mešanica, kakor je danes pri ns-šem društvu. Mnenje prevladuje, da bi se na tej podlagi tudi naša mladina bolj združila in zanimala za jednoto in društvo, kajti oedaj je popolnoma razkropljena, torej je skrajni čas, ds o tem rat-prsvljsmo in ksj ukrenemo. Če bi se združila ta društva, bi bilo tudi laže pridobivati nove člane. Združeni mladina bi lahko pričela tudi gojiti atletiko, kar je sedaj skoraj nemogoče. Vem, da bodo nekateri člani nasprotovaU tej ideji, zato ste članih teh društev naproleni, da Israsite o tem svoje mnenje v glasilu, kaj pa Je mnenje vaše-gs društva, pa razpravljajte na sejah.

Ashland Ave., začetek otj osmih zvečer. Milostič je priznan umetnik, ki je pred kratkim prišel iz Južne Amerike, kjer je nastopal v operah in koncertih. Vabljeni so tudi Slovenci, saj smo vsi Jugoslovani. Umetnik bo zajael tudi nekaj slovenskih pesmi.! Kdor si želi rezervirati vstopnico, lahko pokliče Rockwell 221$. Drugi dan, 1. februarja, pa bo podružnica št. 2 SANSa predvajala filme iz Slovenije v AI-dine-dvorani, 911 Armitage ave., začetek ob treh popoldne. Čitaj-te vabilo na to priredbo na drugem mestu današnje Proovete. Naši društven i ki iz severne Četrti Chicaga so zmeraj no priredbah na zapadni strani, pa je prav, da jim vrnemo poset. Naše rojake že zdaj opozarjamo na predavanje o Jugoslaviji, ki ae bo vršilo v petek, 13. februarja v dvorani SNPJ. Predavala bosta literatka Mary Se ton in njen mož. Oba sta se mudila dalj časa v Jugoslaviji in študirala tamkajšnje razmere. &e posebno sta se za n; mala za literaturo in umetnost. Imela bosta veliko povedati tudi o Sloveniji, katera ju je še posebno očarata Ves prebitek te priredbe bo oddan za Akademijo upodabljajočih umetnosti v Ljubljani, katere je rektor znani slovenski slikar Božidar Jakac, ki je znan tudi ameriškim Slovencem, saj je bil tu skoraj tri leta. Ta dva vrla Američana daneo, po vrnitvi iz Jugoslavije, skušata prepričati ameriško javnoet, da Jugoslavija ni res taka kot jo slika reakcionaino časopisje. Sama sta izrazila željo, da se daruje eventuelnl prebitek Akademiji upodabljajočih unutnosti v Ljubljani, katera zelo potrebuje različen risarski material Vstopnina bo prosta, po predavanju pa se bo vršila prosta zabava in ples v spodnji dvorani Predavan>e se bo vršilo pod av-spictjo centralnega odbora čtka- ga kluba.

JANUARJA 1948 PROS V ET A piti na radioprogramu, so se pred postajo že pojavili naši društveni bratje iz Strabana s svojim avtomobilom, da me popeljejo tja, kakor hitro bom gotov. In taka je tudi bilo. Zdirjsli smo iz^raddocka mimo velikih železnih tovarn, preko železnic in rek ter čez nešteto hribov in dolin proti Strsbanu, ki leži jugo-zapadno od Pittsburgha in tvori predmestje Canousburga v okraju Washington. Čas je naglo tekel in komaj smo se malo po-krepčali z dobro pripravljenim kosilom in domačo pijačo, pa je že spet bilo treba hiteti na ode*. Kot je mnogim čitateljem že znano, lastujeta naši dve društvi v Strabanu lepo društveno poslopje, ki jim dobro služi ne samo za društvene seje in prireditve, temveč tudi za vse kulturne in razvedrilne namene in narodne potrebe sploh. Ondotni rojaki so upravičeno ponosni na to svoje narodno središče. Ko smo dospeli tja, je bila prostor na dvorana na vrhu že dokraja napolnjena, ljudje so pa še kljub temu silili notri, da slišijo go- Glasovi-iz naselbin SKUPNA VESELICA V KORIST RADIO-PROGRAMA MED NAŠIMI V ZAFADN1 PENN1 Vincent Cainkar. gl. predsednik SNPJ V zapadnem delu drževe Penn»ylvanije je naseljenih veliko naših ljudi in naravno, da imamo tam tudi mnogo slovenskih društev raznega značaja, ter seveda tudi mnogo društvenega življenja. Ksjti naš človek je po naravi skrben in družaben. Kjerkoli v tej deželi si je našel količkaj stalno delo, si je brž poskušal nabaviti ne le svoj lastni dom, pač pa je iskal tudi družabnosti in protek-cije ali zavetja ter se je rad pridružil kakemu domačemu društvu, in ako ga tam še ni- bilo, ga je poskušal ustanoviti in če le mogoče, zgraditi slovenski društveni dom. In po zapadni Pen-ni jih je zgradil dokaj lepo število. Naši ljudje so se tam naselili v toliki množini prvič iz razloga, ker tja ni bilo posebno daleč od newyorške luke, kjer se nas je večina doševši iz starega kraja prvotno izkrcala; in nadalje zato, ker je bilo v zapadni Penni tiste čase največ industrij, zlasti premogorovov in železnih tovarn ter nam je bilo tam najlažje najti "i delo in zaslužek. Marsikateri je pozneje seveda šel naprej "s trebuhom za kruhom", zlasti ko je tu delo poje-njavalo in je naraščala brezposelnost, marsikoga pa je gnala želja naprej za večjim zaslužkom, ki se je včasih nudil po rudnikih daljnega zapade ter se pozneje naselil tam. Z njimi pa se je zaneslo tudi na nadaljni zapad pionirsko delo naših društev in od tega je imela veliko koristi zlasti SNPJ. Kdorkoli pa je imel priliko, da je kaj časa živel med našimi v' zapadni Penni, se tega vselej rad spominja v razgovorih in ' drugače, pa seveda tudi rad pride pogledat nazaj, če mu le razmere dopuščajo. In tako je tudi z menoj—tudi jaz sem začel svojo proletarsko "karijero" na vzhodu in pustli nekaj svojih mladih let po ondotnih industrijah in naselbinah, in tako tudi mene zmeraj nekaj vleče nazaj tja. Rad vidim tiste romantične pennsylvanske hribe ter strme in vijugaste ceste- mikajo me dobro urejeni domovi naših ljudi s čednimi vrtovi naokrog, gosto posejana slovenska društva in društveni domovi, rad se spet snidem s starimi znanci in prijatelji ter z njimi malo pokram-ljam, zlasti pa z našimi druš-tveniki in delavci za jednoto. Naravno je torej tudi, da sem se rad odzval, ko so člani podružnice SANSa v Strabanu ter ondotnih dveh društev SNPJ sklenili, da bodo 11. januarja imeli skupno prireditev s slikami iz starega kraja, ter so me povabili, da sodelujem pri tistem programu. Obljubil sem jim, ko je naš izvršni odsek stvar odobril in se pripravil na pot. Toda stvar ni ostala tajna—za to je medtem izvedel odbor Slovenskega dneva za zapadno Pen-no, pod čigar pokroviteljstvom se vrši slovenski radioprogram vsako nedeljo od 11:30 do 12. opoldne na postaji WLOA v Braddocku, ter me povabil, da ko se bom v nedeljo 11. januarja že nahajal v bližini, da sodelujem zaeno pri njih programu. Tudi na to sem se dragevolje odzval in poskušal ustreči njih želji. Kskor naši ljudje povsod, so tudi tam dokaj uljudni in po-strežljivi. Ko je čikaški vlak v nedeljo zjutraj pripeljal na železniško postajo'v Pittsburghu, me je že Um čakal avtomobil in takoj smo jo zavili proti ra-diopostaji. Drveli smo po tistih strminah gor in dol kot za stavo in dasi je Braddock precej oddaljen, smo bili kmalu tam. Za program je bilo nekoliko prezgodaj in tako je bila prilotnost, da smo najprej malo pozajtrko-vali in nato še malo porokovali in se pogovorili s člani in znanci, ki so počasi prihsjali na postsjo. Slovenski program na radio-postaji se mi je zelo dopadel. Vsebuje navadno društvene in druge domače novice, uključiv-ši naznanila o raznih prireditvah, pevske in muzikalne točke ter vse tako, kar se smatra v interesu in v dobrobit slovenskega občinstva po tistih krajih Postaja je močna pravijo, da se v ugodnem vremenu sliši . nad 200 milj daljave.

In Kljub temu, da je bila dvpiana nabito polna in da so ljudje stuli okrog in okrog za krajem in povsod, kjer se je le kdo mogal stisniti, se je množica zadržala med pogovorom in celim programom prav lepo in dostojno. Povedali to mi, da je bilo medtem v spodnji dvorani ali klubovih prostorih skoro Še enkrat toliko ljudi, ki niso mogli dobiti prostora v gornji dvorani. Tako se torej lahko upravičeno reče, da je bila ta prireditev v Strabanu krasen uspeh, in to kakor z tnoralnega tako z gmotnega vidika Ljudje so bili j ako zadovoljni s programom, ki je bil zelo česu primeren in za naše ljudi važnega pomena. Samo pravilno in pošteno to, da se omeni tudi to, da se je za lo prireditev najprej zavzelo naše ondotno angleško poslujoče društvo, ki sestoji iz same mlajše generacije.

O.—V uredniškem članku v Enakopravnosti z dne 21. januarja se lahko razume, da podpisani pošilja imenovanemu listu propagandne dopise proti Jugoslsviji. Da ne bo kdo meril svoji fičlfaj name na prihodnji seji društva 53 SNPJ. ki se bo vršila 8. februarja, začetek ob pol desetih, želim pojasniti, da nima ne Boštjančič in ne Grill kakšnega mojega dopisa za priobčitev v E. Edini dit pis, na katerega se opiram, jV star leto in pol in se tiče mrtvega rojaka. Dotični dopis sem spisal v dostojnem tonu. Ker me Enakopravnost potrebuje v svojih vrstah, me kliče na sode-lovsnje, v enotnost. Ko pa je A D. mene nspsdla, mi je Enakopravnost obrnila hrbet, češ, ti Barbič si pomagaj sam! To omenjam zato, ker je u-rednik zraven konštatiral, da sem predsednik velikega društva SNPJ. S tem hoče ustvariti to, česar meni očita—razdor. Ako urednika E. zanima, mu povem, da sem bil pri treh društvih SNPJ, in sicer pri prvemu kot blagajnik, pri drugem predaed nik, pri tretjemu pa "Jack of all trades." SNPJ je edina bratska orga nizacija, h kateri spadam, kakor tudi devet članov moje družine. Če je urednik ali nji gov listVa paden, se brani. Kadar mane kdo napade v časopisu, telim iste pravice. Patrick H^nry je dejal: "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Dajte mi svobodo ali pa smrt!) Tega gesla se držim tudi jaz. "Svoboda naj ne bo samo za Grilla in Boštjančt-ča, ampak tudi za Barblča! Torej, člani, če boste čitall v Enakopravnosti, ds sem poslsl dopis za aH proti Jugoslaviji, potem prinesite s seboj toma-havke, ako n*, pa jih pustite doma. --- - - Frank Barbič. bo vsem dobro postregel, tako da ne bo nihče ne žejen ne ia čen.

Louts Zorko has disposed of his allotment and turned in the money and he is the third member to pay for the full number of tickets. Our new member Ann Umck has inquired for her allotment and Marie Carlson asked for more tickets because they are going to promote this venture. Frank Mirtich, likewise, reports that7 he will make it a point to be at the dance because he is fond of such music which Joseph Kovteh plays. Recently he was in La Salle to take in the appearance of Frank Yanko-vie there. The Slovene Dom was jammed to capacity, despite bad weather. If Joseph Kovlch plays well, he will become Yankee No. 2 and make records for our people, everywhere.'

Jan. 30,—Quite a controversy has arisen whether the huge profits made by the Industrialists are exaggerated and whether they are justified. It is Interesting to note that a little booklet Issued by the National Assn. of Manufacturers Hives their slant on the subject, Naturally, It covers only their viewpoint, The real thing about theae profits Is that they are based on their total sales rather than on the actual Investment in the corpora »ions. From the standpoint of the consumer, the billions of dollars drawn into profits cuts down the value of the dollar. Other factors •re. also involved, such as the tremendous fees and salaries to the big moguls. Anyway, If thes« billions of dollars went into the treasury of a people's govertime.nl.

It was further recommended that the oyungoi1 tS'eo pie in the lodges of the Slovene Federation be invited to join in all activities of the E. S. Federation on the basis equivalent to being members of the latter federation. This report was fully approved by the meeting. A motion was passed that the Federation have 2,000 SNPJ membership cards printed and distributed among Its federated lodges to be Issued to ita ' lodge members. Since membership eardr are required to enter Clubs in Pennsyl vania, this action will allow free access to the various Slovene Clubs without the risk of punishment to the Clubs. The Slovene Radio Program reported on a meeting to be held in Pittsburgh and requested us to send delegates. Two delegates were elected to attend. Athletic committee reported that the Federation Bowling League is in progress, and that plans are being made for the annal duckpin tournament in the spring.

PCA BACKS WALLACE, OKAYS 3RD PARTY By LOU STONE CHICAGO—(FP)—Backing up its unanimous indorsement of Henry A. Wallace for President in '48. the Progressive Citizens of America closed its 2-day annual convention here Jan. 18 by authorizing merger or affiliation of national PCA and its local units with the aborning third party. The 600 delegates gave enthusiastic approval to an all-embracing 74-point program appealing "not to any group or faction but to all Americans who love peace and freedom and hate tyranny ai>d war." Preamble to the program, expected to form the basis for a third party platform, declared: "Under the leadership of the Truman government both parties, united in their bipartisan policies, have embarked upon a campaign to destroy all of our hard won liber tie». They have shackled labor, set aside the bill of rights, embarked upon a foreign policy which, if unchecked, can lead only to war—and unthinkable destruction." Decision to merge or affiliate PCA with a third party once it is forpied was left to the national board, provided two-third* of the «tate chapters approve. The convention also authorized «tate chapters, in consultation with the natoinai office, to affiliate or merge with new state party organizations for Wallace. The committee on organization re-ported that in some states chapters already arct planning eventual merger into the new state parties or Wallace-for-President committee to avoid duplication of resources and effort. In other states the chapters wish to continue as separate entities and. therefore, plan affiliation with the Wallace movement. The semi-autonomous divisions of the Arts, Science« St Professions and the Youth were left free to set their own cour»«« of sction Anticipating the calling of a national conference to establish a new party, the delegates authorized PCA representation at the parley. The conference will be called April 12, prohably in Chicago. Before electing officer« at their cloeing session, delegates voted approval of a resolution in support of the Chicago A EL printers' strike which was submitted by J. W Gut, publisher of the York (Pa.) Gazette it Dally and « PCA vice-chairman. Top officer« elected by the convention were: Robert W, Kenny, former attorney general of California, national chairman; Thomas K Emerson. Yale law professor and former chief OPA counsel, secretary; and Abrahsm.Pomerantz, UN ptos-ecutor at the Nuernberg war crimes trials, tresaurer. Among the vice-chairmen elected to the 200-man national board were C. B, Baldwin, Norman Corwin, Clark Foreman, Mr«. Elinor Gimhel, Janus McGill, Dr. Harlow Shapley, Ira Hirschman. Bishop R R. Wright jr., Gregory Peck, l*o Krzycki, Quentin Bur-dick. Paul Robeson and W E. H DuBoif. The adopted program. , which hewed closely to polictea voiced by Wallace in his speech to thr opening session, covered foreign affair« in nine points, giving m«Jor attention to don estic issues. labor, agriculture and social welfare On foreign policy, the program urged replacing the Marshall plan with the Wallace plan for aid to Europe without political airings and through the United Nations. It opposed universal military training and called for reducing expenditures to an absolute minimum consistent wait a peace polity Highlights of the domestic pro-gism were price controls and rationing of essential commodities, an exceaa profits tax to discourage profiteering, a II hourly minimum Mage; strength« ning of lent controls a federal housing law calling for 500.000 subsidized public housing units each year; inrieaard subsistente payments for student veterans, exrmpting from income taxea femilu-s and individuals wh«»ae income now falls below the minimum Japanese Workers Face Stern Tests By MAKOTO KAN, Chairman of Japan'« Congress of Industrial Unions TOKYO—(ALN>—Has the old order in Japsn, responsible for in-cslculsble death and destruction throughout Asia, been completely destroyed? Has Japan become a thoroughly democratic nation? Very definitely not. The old Japan i« fighting hard to survive. It ha« poweful friend« in high places and it« zealot« are «imply waiting for a chance to begin a new journey along the road to power and empire. Today Japanese big business, which financed snd planned Japan's imperialistic adventures, is steadily inten«ifying its pressure on the worker«, farmers and middle cla««. In 1048 Japan's six million organized workers face «tern te«ts—and the outcome will affect profoundly the progrc«« of democracy here. Since the end of the war the in-dustrialuU snd bureaucrats hsve tried to make the people pay the entire cost of defeat by heavy taxation of low-income group« and by forcing down real wage«. In devi-ous Ways they have sabotaged industrial production and have deliberately encouraged inflation. The Katayama cabinet, for instance, pegged wages at a level 27 times that prevailing before the war. But the official prices it fixed are 05 times as high us prewar prices. And since goods often are not available on the controlled mar ket, worker« mu«t frequently pay the still higher black market price«. Japanese business is planning to carry out what it call« "enterprise readjustment." This limply means the ma«« firing of worker«. At the same time anti-labor intrigues to split and suppress our new unions are on the increaae. Against this reactionary offensive the Congress of Industrial Union«, which represents over 1,200,000 workers in key tndusrie«, is struggling militantly. We are striving for a higher living standard for our people, for labor unity and for joint action with farmers and other group«. In thi« way we aim to create an Indestructible base for democracy in Japan. We watch with concern and respect the fight of American workers against the Taft-Hartley law and the similar struggles going on in Europe and elaewhere. We seek aid and support from foreign workers and we wish to take part in the world struggle for democracy and peace. Hence our eagerness to Join the Woild Federation of Trade Unions We polltlcully-conaclous Japanese workers are ashamed that our small prewai unions were unable to ptevrnt the tise of the militarist« to power. But the unions, which exist today are many times stronger than those which the militarists and big THE UPPER CRUST "And he says thai high prices really help labor because they koep profite up."

With the emergence of the Partisan Movement, the Serbian Chetniks began more and more to collaborate with the enemy and to fight their Warning Against Crooks own kin. The Serbian higher clergy, assisted and influenced from outside the country, tended to side with conservative political elements and to foster monarchist sentiments. The new People's Front did not appeal to them. When we viaitod the magnificent building belonging to the Patriarchate in Belgrade with iU lovely By-santine chapel, its grsnd refectory snd a throneroom fit for a king, we «ensed why the new People'« Authority would be hard for «uch old-school ecclesiastics to sccept. The lower clergy and many of the bishop«, who judged political development« from a broad national viewpoint snd gsve their personsl loyal-ties in terms of the groups that actively engaged the national enemy —the Italians and Germans—seem solidly behind the government, and not a few of them now hold office in it. At the Orthodox headquarters we talked with several Orthodox priest* and a bishop. When, before wo visited the headquarters, we asked for the privilege of interview ing the Patriarch at the same time, we ware told that he was not well and was resting at a mountain resort. Among the Mohammedan popula tlon in Bosnia. during the course of the occupation, tlyre turned up the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, El Hussein, who spent u week in Sarajevo •nd blessed the formation of a Han-Juk ("Long Knife") Diviaion uf SS troop« of Mohammedan persuasion. Little by little, as the Partisans grew in strength, these Moslem units csme over to their side. In the last few month* the Mohammedan Congress has voted full support of the were in the young United States toward Tory clergymen and laymen of the Church of England following the American Revolution. But the basic patterns seem sound, and the door seems open to a religious peace such as the Balkans have never known in the past. ' 1 It appeared to lis that the majority of laymen ana priests whom wc os¿ Under direct for-? determined to help met. apart from ihe older irrecon cilia ble* and tho4 u eign orders, are build a united post-war nation without foreign interterence. either political or clerical, and with full freedom internally on a basis of lfgsl equality, The Protestant ministers whom we interviewed «aid frankly that they have today a security which in the pest they never en joyed a* a small minority in a Roman Catholic Croatia and an Orthodox Serbia. In view of the old divisivenesa which wrecked the Balksns, It Is not difficult to understand the bitterness felt by the new Jugoslsv generation agsinst any churciusen who seek to resufrcct the oldCroat or Serbian nationalism, or ecclesiastical con flicts. That way, to them, lies death; in "unity and Ijiptherhood"—their life. In the Excelsiors' lodge good news such a« marriages, births, birthdays, dances, etc., is always swell to read and hear about. But, unfortunately, a little bad news sneak« up on us all. A few weeks ago In this scribe's article three marriages were reported an& now the sad news of three deaths in the Excelsiors in a short period of less thsn a month Is hard to believe. On Dec. 16. Mike Barrila paased away at the age of 73. Emella Vldec (formerly Celon) died Jan. 4 at the a|e of 53. John Steklssa passed away Jan. 14 at the age of 67. Our deepest sympathies to the families of the above deceased members of the lodge. The Excelsiors spproved donations to the American Slav Congress and the March of Dimes at our Jan. 17 meeting. The Juvenile Director and her as-■i«tant have two group« in the Jolly Quips Circle 56. One group of youngsters is seen heading for the Orpheum Bowling Alleys every play nlte, whereas the other one Is headed for the cinema. The largest mov-< le house in town is showing films especially adapted for grade school and high school students every Saturday noon during the winter months. These pictures are educational and interesting. The Progressive Women of America local circle in Aliquippa have increased their membership in the past two months by fifty percent. Emelis Vldec mentioned In this column was a member of this Women's Circle. This month'« meeting was climaxed by Theresa Gerzei. She took some flour, apples, and other ingredients snd with the sid of a rolling pin made a swell apple stru del which the thirty women present all got a large piece to sample- The ladies alao tell this scribe thst in the future many a surprise will be in «tore for the circle members. When h surprise for the ladies is planned, you can bet your last dollar they'll all be on hand. Now that the Excelaiora have new secretary the member« will pt I bcotherhooc tiey see Hi R WITNESS nual meeting and Chri«tmas party, therefore, I must say that Marge Masiar, Juvenile Director and her committee did remarkably well in arranging the party, purchasing the very pretty gifts for all the children, etc. This was by far the most successful December meeting and Christmas party ever staged in the history of Lodge Utopians. Bowling News Our Kegling Kapers reporter keeps the readers well informed weekly as to the progress the boys are making in their bowling. The girls, however, are leu fortunate, but I'll take the opportunity of informing you that the Utopian girls are represented in the Girls' SNPJ League with four teams. For several weeks during the earlier part of the season Utopian No. II team, under the leadership of Frainces Zorman, was in the lead. Now we are proud to state that the leadership for the past month has been taken over by the Utopian No. I team. Mary Perdan, captain of this team, can well be proud of the way Mary Recher, Mary Zorman, Sophie Klein and Caroline Opalk are cooperating with her in leading the team on to victory. Mary Stra-zisar's No. Ill team is making its way closer to the top. And may we tip our hats to Utopian No. IV team, captained by Rose Shume, for they're still in there plugging. In spite of tne fact that this team has quite a number of losses chalked against them, they always come up smiling. What a grand bunch of' girls! Drawing Just a word to the members concerning the coming drawing. Members do YOUR share in promoting the success of this undertaking. The committee has put forth with endless efforts planning and preparing so please may we count on you to carry your portion of the burden?

To make it easier for all secretaries, especially newly elected ones, the members should sete to it that their dues are paid before the first of each month. The outgoing officers of the Excelsiors deserve credit for their fine- work during 1947 and to the newly elected offi cers congratulations and the best of 240 Main Ave., West Aliquippa, at the Ranic's Electric Store.
