"Velika trojica" se izrekla za razorožitev Nemčije! Načrti glede skupne okupacije Nemčije spre jeti na konferenci med Rooseveltom, Churchil lom in Stalinom. Ustanovitev mednarodnega ustroja za preprečenje tretje svetovne vojne. Amerika, Velika Britanija in Rusija zagotovile pomoč osvobojenim evropskim državam na podlagi načel Atlantskega čarter ja. Koalicijska vlada v Jugoslaviji Washington, D. C., 13. febr. Predsednik Roosevelt, premier Churchill in maršal Stalin so na svoji konferenci v Jalti na Krimu, ki je trajala osem dni, razglasili obsodbo nacijske Nemčije. Osvojili so načrte glede skupne okupacije in popolne razorožitve Nemčije, da ne bo nikdar več ogražala svetovnega miru, obenem pa so se izrekli za ustanovitev mednarodnega ustroja, v čigar področje spada demokratična rekonstrukcija Evrope. Enotnost Amerike, Velike Britanije in sovjetske Rusije je na-glašena v naznanilu o zaključkih konference. Vse tri velesile so se obvezale, da bodo pomagale osvobojenim evropskim državam na podlagi načel Atlantskega čarterja. Glavne točke na konferenci doseženega sporazuma so: Izvajanje skupnih vojaških načrtov proti Nemčiji, da se skrajša vojna. Razkosanje Nemčije v okupacijske cone po zavetAiSki zmagi. Ustanovitev komisije, ki določi vsoto odškodnine, katero' bo morala plačati Nemčija, in način plačevanja. Odškodnina mora biti v . blagu In delit. • Formula za rešitev poljskega problema. Ta predvideva spojitev članov provizorične poljske vlade, katero priznava Rusija, z demokratičnimi poljskimi elementi znotraj Poljske in onimi v tujini. Curzonova linija postane meja med Poljsko in Rusijo. Sovjeti dobe Vilno in Lvov. Slična formula velja za Jugoslavijo. "Velika trojica" je izjavila, da maršal Tito, ki vlada v deželi, in dr. Ivan Šubašič, predsednik ubežne vlade v Londonu, morata takoj ustanoviti koalicijsko vlado v smislu dogovora, katerega sta sklenila. Ta določa med drugim regentstvo. V koalicijski vladi morajo biti repre-zentirani voditelji vseh strank z izjemo onih, ki so sodelovali s sovražnikom. Stalna posvetovanja med voditelji velesil in zunanjimi ministri. Slednji se sestanejo na vsake tri ali Štiri mesece.

C., 13. febr.— Sporazum, dosežen na konferenci "velike trojice" v Jalti na Krimu, bo pospešil osvoboditev ameriških, britskih in ruskih vojnih ujetnikov ter interniranih civilistov, ki se nahajajo v nemških taboriščih. Veliko število ujetnikov in internirancev je bilo že osvobojenih v krajih, katere so zasedle sovjetske čete v prodiranju preko Nemčije- Washingtonski uradni krogi so naznanili, da je bil načrt glede repatriacije vojnih ujetnikov in internirancev sprejet na konferenci. Naznanilo pravi, da načrt določa, da vsaka izmed držav prispeva živila, obleke in druge potrebščine ujetnikom in interni-rancem. Ruski uradniki bodo pomagali ameriškim in britskim avtoritetam in obratno. Imena nekaterih ameriških vojnih ujetnikov, katere so osvobodile ruske čete na Poljskem, so bila objavljena. Med temi so stotnik W. Morley in poročniki J. E. Seringer, Charles Mooron, George W. Atkins in več drugik. Jugoslovanske sirote v zavetju . » Partizani osvobodili jetnike Waahlngfon, D. C.. 13. febr.— Čez 500 jugoslovanskih otrok, med temi vojne sirote, je dobilo zavetje v južni Italiji. Tja so jih pripeljala zavezniška letala iz Jugoslavije. Zadevno poročilo fe prišlo v Washington iz Bari ja, Italija. "Otroci so bili evakuirani v soglasju z zavezniškim načrtom, da se razreši sile maršala Tita," pravi poročilo. "Otroci, kakor ^udi moški in ženske, ki so bili ranjeni v bitkah z Nemci, ao ovirali operacije teh ail proti Nemcem. Mnogi izmed teh ao bili poalani nazaj v kraje, katere ao partizani osvobodili."

Kralj Peter odane v Londonu Ljudstvo odloči o monarhiji London, 13. febr.—Besednik jugoslovanske ubežne vlade, katere predsednik je dr: Ivan Šubašič, je naznanil, da bo kralj Peter Ostal v Londonu. On se ne bo vrnil v Belgrad, dokler ljudstvo ne odloči pri volitvah, ali hoče monarhijo ali republiko. Če se bo odločilo za republiko, kar je skoro gotovo, se Peter sploh ne bo vrnil v Jugoslavijo. Člani ubežne vlade bodo z blagoslovom "velike trojice" kmalu zapustili London in odpotovali v Belgrad. Tam bo ustanovljena nova vlada v smislu sklenjenega dogovora med maršalom Titom, (»oveljnikom jugoslovanske osvobodilne armade, in Su-bašičem. Vprašanje ustanovitve regent-stva treh članov bo moralo čakati razgovorov v Belgradu. To ne bo delalo preglavic, ker sta Tito in Šubašič že dosegla sporazum. V protifašistični svet narodne osvoboditve, čigar načelnik je Tito, pridejo člani bivše jugoslovanske skupščine (parlamenta), ki se niso kompromitirali s sodelovanjem s sovražnikom. Ta skupina bo tvorila začasni parlament. Grški mirovni isan Razorožitev levičarskih grup Ortije, 13. febr.—Re-prezentanti grških levičarjev in člani vlade-so podpisali mirovni pakt in s tem uradno zaključili civilno vojno, ki je izbruhnila 3. decembra preteklega leta. Vlada je dobila skoro vse, kar je zahtevala, vendar se pričakuje vzdrževanje ravnovesja, ki bo omogočilo sodelovanje. Glavni pogoj pakta določa razorožitev levičarskih grup do 15. msrca. Britski brigadir Hugh Main-aring, ki se je udeležil konference, je dejal, da bodo odprte postaje, v katere bode levičarji prinašali orožje, 26. februarja. Nekatere levičarske enote bodo obdržale orožje in pomagale državni policiji pri vzdrževanju miru in reda. V imenu levičarske osvobodilne fronte sta pakt podpisala general Stephanos Serafls In George Siantos, tajnik grške komunistične stranke, v imenu vlade pa premier Plastlras. Konferenca se je vršila v neki vili na obali Egejskega morja. Finski list hvali sovjetske avtoritete Stockholm, Švedska, 13. febr.

Driavni tajnik S tet t i ni us v Moskvi ITALIJANSKI KOMUNISTI PODPRLI TITOVE ZAHTEVE Slovenski del Julijske Krajina mora do* biti Jugoslavija VPRAŠANJE TRSTA V OSPREDJU Rim« 7. febr.-—(Napisal Herbert L. Matthew* poročevalec New York Timesa v Rimu.)— Italijanaki komunistični list "L'-Unita" je predlagal danes, da naj bi vaaj vas slovenski del Julijske Krajine bil vrnjen Jugoslaviji, in zehtSVa, naj se takoj prično pogajanja glede tega s maršalom Titom. <" Članek je z glasnim trulčem zopet odprl delikatno vprašanje Trsta, kajti postavil je najmočnejšo iUlijansko politično stranko, ki ima zvesc z Moskvo, na stran Tita. To je značilno tudi radi tega, ker prinaša spremembo v smernicah Julijanske komunistične stranko, Id je bila stalno nacionalistična. Članek je najbrž spisal Pslmlro Togliatti, strankin vodja, |oda v vseh ozi-rih zastopa njefovo in strankino stališče, sicer bi ne mogel biti priobčen v "L'yniti". Članek prične s grajanjem Italijanov, "ki so pozabili, da italijanske meje, postavljene po zmagonosni vojni 1915-18, uklju-čujejo neitalijanako prebivalstvo, ki nI hotelo priti k nam in ki o tem vprelsnju ni imelo niti najmanjše besedice. Poleg mest s italijanskimi večinami, kot irit, Msk, 6(fcfca4it.liBhlf, Je Italija dobile tUdI podeželsko prebivalatvo v notranjščini Julijske Krajine, ki Je večinoma slovensko." rlfi , i "De imajo danes ti ljudje pravico združiti se s svojo rojstno domovino in postati del nove Jugoslavije,'1! nadeljuje členek, "ni dvoma. Vsak poskus za podkrepitev italijanskih pravic do te zemlje, katera nem ne pripada, je popolnoma iz reda in časovno zgrešen. Slovenske pokrajine morajo biti vrnjene brez zadržka in tožarije slovenski republiki, ki že tvori svojstven del velike jugoslovanske federativne republike." Glede krajev v Julijski Krajini, kjer prevladujejo Italijani, pravi L'Unita ssmo, "da mora problem biti rešen v skupnem soglasju obeh narodov, upoštevajoč voljo prebivalcev in pa skrajne potrebe nove Jugoslovanske države." Dodaja, "da Je italljanaka dominacija Julijske Krajine (pod fašistično vlado) bila nepretrgana vrate nasilja in prestopkov, ki so vodili k prisiljenemu raznarodovanju slovanskih pokrajin." Nadalje opisuje nekatere prestopke, ki so jih storili fašisti Naglaša, da se na tisoče Italijanov sedaj bori v vrstah maršalu Tita ter da med drugim tudi to dejstvo zahteva od Italije pravilne razsodnosti. Temu aledi apel za "bratoljub-ne odnošaje" Italije napram Jugoslaviji, kajti 'močna, prija-teljska Jugoslavija bi nam vedno pomagala bili na straži pred podvigom germanlzma in taki odnošaji bi bili važen faktor za mir v Evropi." Članek zaključuje z «pelom na IUlijansko vlado in odbor narodnega osvobojen Je, "da prične kakor hitro mo»"»če pogajanja z vlado maršala Tite".

S tem je dnevni red izčrpan radi dveh vprašanj: strategije in vztrajne borbe ter programa narodne enakopravnosti. Zmaga f»ads Mihajlovičem mu je bila usojena prvič, ker se je prikupil junaškemu instinktu jugoslovanskih narodov, ker je prigovarjal na neprestano borbo vzlic sovražnikove premoči; drugič, ker je pobijal starokopitno, pogubo-nosno idejo o srbski nadvladi in se zavzemal za popolno enakopravnost vseh jugoslovanskih narodnosti. Tako je od vsega začetka povlekel k sebi borbeno moško silo vseh jugoslovanskih narodnosti, medtem ko je Mihaj-lovič obstal na meji človeške plitvine srbskih šovinistov. Največja abnormalnost današnjega položaja je, da Titov Narodni kom i tej In Protifašistični svet izvajata suvereno oblast le na domačih tleh, kralj Peter in njegova vlada pa v inozemstvu. Partizani uživajo samolastno, zdravo fizično eksistenco, ne pa kakih pravic v mednarodni družbi. Kažejo tudi, da je ustava izza leta 1931, na katero opira kralj in njegova vlada svojo oblast, bila odrejena z enostranskih dekretom pokojnega kralja Aleksandra potem, ko je 1. 1929 odpravil ustavo izza leta 1921 in se polastil diktatorske moči. Glasom kraljeve ustave od 1931 je monarhija edini vir oblasti in to je tista ustava, kakor tudi pozicija vladarja, katero želi Narodna osvobodilna fronta predložiti narodu na glasovanje. V tej četrti zimi sovražnih aktivnosti v Jugoslaviji so razmere tako strašne, da si strašnejših nihče ne more misliti. V nekaterih krajih Bosne in Like lahko človek potuje cele dni, ne da bi srečal kakega človeškega bitja ali živali. Danes raste trava, kjer so nekoč stale vasi. Izmed 15,000,0(10 prebivalcev Jugoslavije jih je skoraj 2,000,-000 padlo v borbi, ali bilo po-klanih, ali umrlo v koncentracijskih zaporih, od bolezni, lakote in pomanjkanja—to je sorazmerno najvišja izguba Življenj, kar jih je utrpel kateri drugI narod v tej vojni, Narodne osvobodilne oblasti si lastijo samo med partizani do 2(H),000 padlih borcev. Presoja se, da bo to zimo polovica jugoslovanskih orebivalcev bosih. Celo v Bulgrudu se vidi koiakati marsikaterega Titove-ga vojaka brez obuvala ali brez suknje, ko kaže toplomer pod ničlo. Ob gorskih cestah se napol nage kmetice skrivajo v grmovje, če se prikaže kak tujec Manj kvt 20',' poljedelske zemlje jt* bi|o posejane lansko jesen. Nadaljnji tisoči Jugoslovanov bodo plačali s svojimi življenji, če se ne ustanovi združena vla-dn, ki bo priznana od zaveznikov in upravičena prejemati pomoč od UNRHA in posojilno-na-jemne pogodbe. V preteklosti je nastal nespo-razum med UNRHA in Narodnim komitejem maršala Tita redi zahteve, da bi UNKKA tielila iclifne potrebščine v Jugoslaviji po svojih organih, medtem ko je Narodni komitelj odklonil P<»dporu. či' bi je ne delile oblasti narodnega osvobojenja.

FEBRUARJA PROSVETA Glasovi iz naselbin POZIV DRUŠTVOM SHPJ y CENTRALHEM ILLINOI8U Si. Louis. Mo,—Pozivam vsa društva SNPJ v centralnem II-linoisu in okolici, da se pridružijo federaciji združenih društev SNPJ. Vem, da so po naselbinah majhna društva, zato pa je toliko bolj potrebno, da se pridružijo federaciji SNPJ. Nekateri drultveniki bodo naj-brze ugovarjali, češ, kaj mi če federacija, toda, bratje, ona nam lahko veliko dobrega stori^ za posameznike jn jednoto. V skupnosti je moč "in*če Se kaj skupno podvzame, je to tudi vpošteva-n0, veliko bolj vpoštevano kot ce se za kako stvar zavzamejo mala društva. Meseca aprila ali maja se bo vršila seja federacije SNPJ. Kje in kdaj, bo pravočasno objavljeno. Seja bo jako važna, zato izvolite zastopnike in jih pošljite na to važno sejo. Ne bojte se potrošiti nekaj počenih grošev, saj jih ne boste vzeli s seboj v krtovo deželo. Po pravici vam povem, da bo v vašo koristne v škodo, ako se pridružite federaciji. , Konvencija SNPJ je pred durmi. Konvencijo bi se lahko precej skrajšalo, ako bi bila društva združena in če bi zastopniki skupno razpravljali o raznih jed-notinih problemih, ki čakajo rešitve. Pošljite na sejo najzmož-nejše zastopnike in dobra priporočila, kajti s tem boste sami sebi koristili in jednoti. Ako kateri želi kaj več pojasnila, naj piše Johnu Homcu ali Franku Ileršiču ali spodaj podpisanemu. Upam in želim, da se boste odzvali na ta poziv in poslali društvene zastopnike na fe-deracijsko sejo. Federacijske seje se vršijo blizu električne železnice. Želim, da se oglasi o tem predmetu tudi brat Home?. ■ " ' ' Ciril Medved, tajnik predsednik federacije. iz čigar urada je prišlo to pismo, pravi tudi tole: "Chances of approval of any non-local meeting of more than 50 persons were extremely slim."

Menijo, da bi to in to ne smel,'da bi moral poprej vprašati za njih nasvet. Če bi storil kaj takega, bi se pokazal, da sem še bolj zabit l^akor mo kažejo članstvu. To priliko se hoče izrabiti tudi sedaj radi konvencije, katera se ima vršiti v mesecu septembru. No, poglejmo malo zadevo tudi 7. našega stališča', kako gleda-damo na zadevo oni, ki delamo pomote in ne poznamo zakone raznih držav, posebno ne postav bratskih organizacij države II-linoisa. To smo Čitali v neki knjigi iz Springfielda, 111. Pred mano sta dve pismi iz obrambnega transportacijskega urada, ki pojasnujeta glede prevažanja delegacij na konVenci-je. Vedite, da malo spim *in še vedno vem, kadar nekaj zapišem, kaj sem zapisal. Moja pri-poročila niso vsiljiva. Ne more pa se jih kar tako pobijati,' kadar bi se domislil pobijati jih kakšen inteligent. Trditev, da se ne more prelomiti konvencije, je ovrgljiva toliko » asa, dokler se ne dobi odbora, ki bi bil nepristranski, in skuša stvar izvesti. Dokler ni takega odbora, se lahko veliki možje še- tako lahko trudijo, da VSO pobili, kar bom jaz zapif •'I in njih trud se ne bo uveljavil. Torej čitajte, kako zaključuje pi-' ino 7. dne 5. februarja mr. R. •1 Clare, tajnik vojnega odbora za konvencije: In view of the se-"ons consequences to your ao-"< tv that might result from the " hisa| of permission to hold the 'Mention, Committee suggests 'l m the meantime your orga-'< 'ion take up with the Illi-State Authorities the mat-"1 the deferment beyond this year, v »«lo, člani StfPJ, da sem pina ta odbor zato, da dobim ' kakšno moč ima v teh za-Ta odbor ima moč In ' k" zabrani transportad Jo, ako tudi bratskim organlzaci-katerih konvencije bi pre-članov, pa naj bodo ni <>lk< odborniki ali delegatje mk J, Monroe Johnson, oizacija. Izmed 222 organizacij ki so vprašale za odobritev konvencij po 1. februarju, ko je prišel v veljavo ta odlok, je vojni transportaciiski odbor dovolil samo dvema organizacijama, to sta Rdeči križ in Vojni fond. Vsem drugim so odklonili. Med organizacije, ki morajo vprašati za dovoljenje, so vključene "fr&ternalistične", industrijske, trgovske, delavske, fra-ternalistične (bratske), organizacije profesionalcev, cerkvene, civične, socialne in državne (U. S.). Naj vam povem, da so konvencijo odklonili celo Zvezi ameriških bankirjev, ki se je imela vršiti z več tisoč člani V New Yorku dne 6., 7. in 8. februarja. Ne vem, kdo je višji, ameriški bankirji, njih banke in trusti, ali smo mi? Seveda, morda mi bo kdo navajal postave države Illinois. In moj odgovor bo^ bankirji so tudi postavodajalci, ali ne? Kadar delegacija ne potrebuje sob v hotelih m ne transpor-tacije po železnicah, ni potreba dovoljenja. Če pa potrebuje to dvoje, je pa treba dovoljenj^za obdržavanje konvencije. Nadalje je potrebno dokazati, da ne bo zborovanja škodila vojnemu naporu. Kar se tiče tegfil dopisnika, mu je vseeno, kaj se bo zgodilo, kakor mu je vseeno, kakšno vreme je v Clevelandu, ladi katerega se joče toliko ljudi. Imamo namreč mrzlo vreme. Človek se mora privaditi vsemu v življenju in se ni treba jokati, ako so na potu življenja spremembe. Da, te spremembe so včasih zaželi ive in treba jih je izravnati s poštenimi boji, če tudi so kri-tični. Ne ljubim pa zavajanja! Frank Barbft 53. PRIPOROČILA DRUŠTVA ŠT. 13 SNPJ Bridgeport. O.—Članstvo društva št. 13 SNPJ je na svoji redni seii v nedeljo, 4. februarja, razpravljalo glede bodoče konvencije, katera se ima vršiti meseca septembra v Evelethu, Min-riesota. Ker članstvo našega društva uvideva potežkoče trans-portacije v tem kritičnem vojnem času in želi, da bo čim prej konec vojne in zmaga združenih narodov, in ker federalni trans-portacijski urad apelira na vse organizacije, ki imajo več kot 50 delegatov, naj prelože svoje konvencije za nedoločen čas, zato društvo št. 13 SNPJ priporoča gl. odboru, da na svoji letni seji konvencijo odloži, ako je to mogoče, kajti konvencija vseeno ne bi prinesla pomembnih sprememb. Ako pa ni mogoče konvencije odložiti, potem pa naj vsaj premeste sedež konvencije v kraj, kjer Je središče članstva, na primer v Chicago. S takim odlokom bi vsaj pokazali, da ni to izletna konvencija, kajti mesto, ki je sedaj določeno za se-, dež konvencije, je daleč od središča transportacijske cone. Drug tehten vzrok za odložitev konvencije je tudi, ker je približno pet tisoč naših članov v aktivni vojni službi in jim je vzeta prilika, da bi bili zastopani na konvenciji, kar pa ni njih krivda. Nadalje naše društvo priporoča, da bi Prosveta več poročala o našem članstvu, ki se nahaja v vojni. Uredništvo ali glavni urad naj bi pozvalo članstvo in uradnike društev, da bi poročali Madison. 111.—Članstvo druš-tvatva št. 250 SNPJ je na svoji redni seji, ki se je vršila 4. februarja, razpravljalo o bodoči konvenciji in o delegaciji. Bili smo mnenja, da ni potrebno voliti enega delegata pri društvih, ki imajo sto članov. Sto članov plača v štirih letih v konvenčnl fond samo $96** do-čim so stroški za delegata veliko večji. Ali je mnenja članstvo SNPJ, da bi bilo potrebno zvišati asesment v konvenčni sklad z dveh centov na štiri, da bi se krili konvenčni stroški, ali je potrebno znižati delegacijo? Eno je gotovo, mi ne moremo pričakovati, da bi znašale dnevnice delegata samo nekaj dolarjev na dan, kajti sedaj je vse drago in s par dolarji na dan se ne morfe živeti, poleg tega pa delegat izgubi svojo plačo v tovarni. Vprašanje je tudi, če je potrebno, da konvencija traja 14 dni. Zakaj ne bi mogli izvršiti dela na konvenciji v šestih dneh? Mnoge konvencije trajajo samo štiri dni. Konvencija naj bi izvršila delo v petih dneh, šesti dan pa podala splošen pregled dela. Vsekakor je potrebno, da se kaj konkretnega ukrene, da ne bo še večji primanjkljaj v konvenčnem skladu. Predlog našega društva bi bil, da bi izvolili enega delegata na vsakih 250 članov, društva, ki štejejo 400 Članov ali več, naj bi bila zastopana po dveh delegatih. Joe. Yambrovlch, tajnik št. 250 SNPJ. ' njo konvencijo vsled vojnih razmer, bi spremenilo mnenje v tem oziru. Mogoče ne poznam sentimen-ta članstva v splošnem, kljub temu pa smatram, da imam pra-vicd izraziti svoje mnenje. To pravico imajo tudi drugi Člani, ki ae strinjajo z menoj, kot oni, ki se ne} in to brez da bi skušali komu kaj vsiliti. * Tudi br. gl. tajnik obširno pojasnjuje, zakaj ni izvršni odsek odobril iniciative za priobčitev in pravi v začetku, da ni prav delati vtis na članstvo, da je izvršni odsek odklonil odobritev iniciative, ker je proti vsaki spremembi glede znižanja delegacije za prihodnjo konvencijg. Jaz sem poročal o vtisu na društvo, ko je prejelo obvestilo o odklonitvi po gl. izvršnem odseku. Priznam, tla je dolžnost lodgovornih funkcionarjev pazi-tti, da so spremembe zakonite, a mi mi znano, da bi imel izvršni odsek kakšne konkretne dokaze o nezakonitosti predloženih iniciativ, vsaj v zadevnih obvestilih niso bili navedeni, temveč le mnenja funkcionarjev. Mnenje je kajpada lahko tako ali tako, pravi br. gl. tajnik, v čemer se popolnoma strinjam. Prva iniciativa društva Št. 126 je določala, na splošno rečeno, volitev delegatov po okrožjih, v katero svrho bi se poslužili federacij, katere že obstoje v skoro vseh okrožjih, ki bi prišla v poštev za volitev delegatov, v ostalih bi se pa lahko ustanovile, zakar ni opravičeno predba-civanj« kakšne dualnosti. Brat gl. tajnik pravi, da je bilo v iniciativi tudi rečeno, da se lahko pooblasti katerega koli delegata, da zastopa društvo, ki samo noče poslati delegata na konvencijo. V prvi iniciativi, to je za volitev delegatov po okrožjih, ni bilo nič popolnoma omenjeno glede pooblaščanja drugih delegatov. To je bilo navedeno le v zadnji iniciativi. Zadnja iniciativa je določala pravico društvom, ki ne pošljejo svojega delegata, pooblastiti dejegata katerega drugega društva, a ni določala, da bi vsled tega imel tak delegat več glasov na konvenciji kot drugi delegatje, zakar Je samoobsebi razumljivo, da ne bi bila določba v protislovju s citiranim zakonom. Br, glavni tajnik je tudi v onem odgovoru o odklonitvi odo-brenja prve iniciative izvajal, da bi morali prej amendirati čar-tfcr, kateri ne omenju federacij, drugače bi bila iniciativa v protislovju s čarterjem, če bi bila sprejeta. V tem slučaju se tolmači tako, da ne bi mogli uveljaviti spremembe, ker nis6 federacije omenjene v poslovnici. O zadnji iniciativi pa se hoče prikazati, da bi delegatje, ki so pooblsščeni od katerega drugega društva imeli več glasov, kljub temu da bi tega ne bilo v pravilih ne v čarterju, niti v državnem zakoniku.

Peščica jugoslovanskih reakciouarjev v izgnanstvu v Angliji in nekaj angleških torijev je leta 1942-43 kovala finančno-politlčni načrt za povojno Jugoslavijo; spuhtel je v zrak že rano leta 1944 t zmago Tita, todu smatram ga vseeno izredno značilnega, daajrav-no se Je razblinil.

PRIREDBA PEVSKEGA ZBORA NAPREJA SIJAJNO USPELA Chlcago. 111—Zadnjo nedeljo, 11. februarja, je pevski zbor Naprej v Milvyaukeeju podal krasno priredbo, ki je uspela moralno in materialno. Na programu so nastopili pevci in pevke zbora Naprej in prav lepo peli naše krasne narqdne pesmi. Igralci dramskega odseka kluba št. 1 JSZ iz Chicaga pa so vprizorili pretresljivo dramo Norec. Uspeh je bil v vseh ozirih sijajen in milwauški kulturni delavci kot so France Puncer, Frank Ermenc, Marn in drugi, so bili srečni nad uspehom. Velika dvorana So. Side Turn je bila zasedena do zadnjega sedeža. O priredbi bodo gotovo poročali sami Milwaučani. Pcročevalec. Meje nove Pol|ske in Anglija Copyright 1945, Overseas News Agency Iz Londona prihaja vest, da je angleška delegacija, ki je odhajala na sestanek treh velikih zavezniških prvakov, odnesla s seboj načrt za rešitev poljsko-ruskega vprašanju glede primernih meja nove poljske države. Na podlagi tega angleškega načrta bi postala vzhodna meja Poljske takozvana "Curzonova linija B", po kateri bi pripadel Lvov in galicijska petrolejska polja Rusiji. V pogledu zupsdnlh meja Poljske pa predlaga ungleški načrt progo, ki poteku približno na pol poti med Ktaro nemško NEKAJ O—"VSILJEVANJU" Cleveland*—Na moj dopis, v katerem sem poročal, da Je društvo št. 126 poskušalo iniciatirati spremembo pravil v svrho znižanja delegacije /a prihodnjo konvencijo, odgovarja brat gl. predsednik, da še ne poznam članstva in n« vem, da si isto ne da ničesar vsiliti. V prvem ima mogoče prav, a kar se tiče vsi-ljevanjs, pa ne vem, česa se to predbacivanje tiče. S tem, du je društvo predložilo iniciativo v razpravo Članstvu za splošno glasovanje, vendar ni kakšno vsiljevanje. V dopisu tudi ni ni-čssar drugega, s čemer bi propagiral kakšno vsiljenje članstvu. Ako bi brat gl. predsednik izvajal, da ne vem, da si gl. izvršni odsek ne da ničesar vsiliti, bi vsa i bllžfe odgovarjalo poteku zadeve, ker so iniciative šle le mejo iz predvojne dobe In mejo na reki Odri, kamero zahtevu— najbrže s podporo ruske vlade— provizoričria poljska vlada v Varšavi, katero je priznala Moskva. TnkolW fr^Mej glefcom «eh , del Šlezije in nekaj krajev , vzhodno od Odre ostalo v Nemčiji. Razlogi, katere navaja an-, gleška delegacija fr prilog temu načrtu so baje naslednji: "Prvič, ako pride do te razdelitve ozemlja v povojni dobi, bi bilo le približno GlOO^OO Nemcev preseljenih nazaj v Nemčijo, ako obstoji namen, da ne sme ostati niti najmanjša nemška manjšina v novih mejah poljske države. Ako pa pride do tega, da bo meja potekala ob reki Odri, bi bilo treba preseliti nič manj kot 11 milijonov Nemcev. Angleški strokovnjaki pu so mnenja, da bi prenos tega ogromnega Številu prebivalstva v oni del Nemčije, katerega bodo morali vladati zavezniki, Ze-dinjene države, Britanija ln Francija, utegnil povzročiti velikanske administrativne težko-če. "Ako pa bi preselitev zsdels ko je verjetno, da se bo razprav ljulo o bodočih poljskih mejah, *To gesto poljske vlade v izgnanstvu bi bilo torej razumeti kot priznanje, da vedo% da brez prijazno^ s strani Rusija na Poljsko v bodočnosti ni niti ml sliti.

Na-i sledil je Trifunoviča kot mlnistr ki ie dolgo času imel vezi z londonskim finančnim centrom "The City" in s S^hroederjevo hunko (v Berlinu ln Londonu)— in |o spremljal po Jugoslaviji. Njegove opazke so očarano miss West zelo priročno navajale k tako vzhitljivemu opisovanju kmečkih narodnih noš ln starinskih poslopij, da Je napisali eele strani razposajene proze in čečkarije o srbskem naro-doznunstvu in Juftno slovanski zgodovini ter slikala angleško obratovanje ssbakih rudnikov za sum božji žegen za Jugoslavijo. Henry Andrews se enostavno divl te| deželi. In tu in tam naletita na katerega njunih prijateljev U "Cityja." kateri tudi po-tulejo po Jugoslaviji. No, enkrat poleti 1942 sta Gavrliovlč in miss West strnila svoje politične in literarne talenta iar menda zaključila, da bi Henry Andrews, s svojimi izkušnjami v mednutodnih in kolonljalnih liti unčah, btl idealni načelnik ekonomskega oddelku Zavezniške vojaške vlade (AMGOT), katero *o unglo-umcrikunski smerničar-ji nameravali upostaviti v Jugosluvljl po "osvobojenju" dežele.

Ponovita Jo pravočasno, da ao vam list ne ustovL Naši mladinski krožki—II - Vsi vemo, da vse, kar se rodi, mora tudi umreti. To je zakon narave, kateremu je podvržen vsak posameznik in sploh vsak živ organizem. Ampak zakon narave—samoohrane—je tudi, da si vsak živ organizem skuša podaljšati življenje. To vidimo v priro-di, v vsem rastlinskem in živalskem svetu, pri človeku in tudi pri človeških ustanovah, pa naj bodo te ustanove že države ali organizacije te ali one vrste. In medtem, ko je vsakemu posamezniku, kakor tudi rastlini, živali etc., po naravi odmerjena neka doba življenja, katero je sicer mogoče podsljšati z zdravniško in botanično vedo, velja za človeške ustanove ali institucije drugačen zakon življenja. Ta za kon je poznan in zapopaden v sposobnosti prilagodevanja. Vsi vemo, da se svet stalno spreminja, kakor pravimo. To pomeni, da se spreminjajo rszmere in okoličine. Te spremembe, ki niso avtomatične, marveč produkt človeškega dela in prizadeva nje, se v današnjem svetu moderne tehnike in vede zelo hitro vrše. Svet, ki so ga j>oznaJi naši očetje, je bil dokaj ali pa tudi popolnoma drugačen kot je danesi sploh se te spremembe naglo vrše pred na Umi lastnimi očmi. Svet, ki smo ga poznali v naši mladosti, je bil v marsičem drugačen od današnjega—da-Ji je bil boljši ali slabši, Je drugo vprašanje. Vse to pomeni, da se moramo kot posamezniki ali kot organizirana skupina stalno prilagodevati novim razmeram, kajti drugače ostanemo zadaj in življenje gre mimo nas. In če nočemo zaostati za tem burnim življenjem ter omagati ob poti, je potrebno, da mu sledimo in ga po svojih močeh in prilikah skušamo usmerjati v prid skupnosti. To velja posebno za nas "navadne ljudi," ki smo kot posamezniki brez moči,.y skupnosti, v organizaciji in skozi njo lahko pa dosti dosežemo. Oglejmo si to stvsr iz bolj konkretne strani. Ako bi si Slovenci jx> prihodu v to deželo ne bili ustanovili svojih podpornih in kulturnih organizacij ter jih razvili—posebno prve-* močne in vplivne organizme, bi se bili enostavno porazgubili v širni Ameriki. Lahko rečemo, da bi bilo življenje skoraj za slehernegs Izmed nas veliko težje In bolj prazno kot je bilo ali kot Je danes. Gotovo je to, da bi se kulturno (v širokem pomenu besede) ne mogli toliko razviti, kajti marsikdo izmed nas bi bil v tujini obležal ob poti življenja in ostal v najnižjih plasteh. V tuje življenje bi se brez zlih posledic mogli uživeti le najmočnejši duševni karakterji, toda Še ti bi v marsikaterem momentu pogrešali družbe svojih rodnih bratov. Ne samo ljudje, marveč tudi ptice najraje polete v svoja gnezda in se nsjbolje počutijo v svoji vrsti. Yes, s skupnim delom smo ameriški Slovenci, večinoma navadni delavci, sinovi in hčere preprostih kmeUkih stsršev, kljub naši borni šolski izobrszbi veliko ustvarili, veliko dosegli. S skupnim delom smo si tudi zelo obogatili naše življenje. Nobenega našega tukaj rojenega otroka ni treba biti srsm, da je potomec slovenskih staršev. Tudi nikomur ni trebs biti žal, ki Je dal več ali manj svo-jegs življenja, časa in denarja za skupno stvar: za društveno ln kulturno življenje. Pri tem smo si rszšlrill svoje obzorje, si pridobili mnogo Izkušenj in znanja, razvili svoje tslente In sposobnosti in se duševno in lahko tudi materialno dvigali kvišku. Priča temu delu so naša društva In jednote, n?ši narodni domovi, naše zadruge (žal, da je teh premalo), naše kulturne ustanove, naše časopisje in—yes—tudi lastni domovi In leDi vrtovi okrog njih. To skupno delo mora Iti seveda naprej—brez prestanka. Kajti če bi prenehali, bi si s tem sami izkopali bvoJ^ lastni grob. Tega seveda ne bomo storili, kajti življenje zahteva od nas, da gremo naprej p*» začrtani poti. To naše delo tudi zahteva, da si poskrbimo nsslednikc. ki bodo prijeli tsm, kjer bomo ml nehali in vodili organizacije naprej. In kakor smo se mi razvijali v njih ln skozi nje. tako se bodo s skupnim In skozi skupno delo razvijali tudi naši otroci. Znana pa je prislovica, ki prsvl, da se drevo najlažje upogne dokler Je mlado. In tukaj pridejo na vrsto mladinski krožki, katerih smo se že zadnjič dotaknili. Ničesar bi ne bilo za bodočnost SNPJ večje viednosti kot organiziranje ln vzdrževanje mladinskih krožkov po vseh naselbinah, pri vseh društvih, kjerkoli je to mogoče. Najboljši pogoji m> seveda v večjih naselbinah, kjer ima jednota navadne» tudi več društev. Toda pogoj» Ho tudi v manjših naselbinah —povsod, kjerkoli je nekaj članov, ki se zanimajo za mladino, ao pripravljeni organizirati krožek ln ga voditi. Za tako delo seveda ni vsakdo sposoben, toda kjer je volja, se dobi tudi sposobna oseba.

Pa. — Prosim, da mi dovolite nekoliko prostora v našem listu Prosveti, ki je po mojem mnenju najboljši slovenski delavski list v Ameriki. Žal, da je še veliko Slovencev, kateri ga ne čittjo. Mene najbolj zanimajo dopisi in jih najprej preberem, zato vse priznanje našim dobrim dopisovalcem ih dopisovalkam, kateri se trudijo, da je zmeraj kaj zanimivega v Prosveti. Če bi večina Slovencev čitala Prosveto, bi tudi naše podružnice SANS-a in JPO-SS bolje napredovale, ker bi se bolj zavedali in podpirali te neobhodno potrebne ustanove, katere služijo našim bratom in sestram v stari domovini, ki toliko trpijo pod krvoločnim okupatorjem. I Poročila o prispevkih in darovalcih za SANS in stari kraj so se nekoliko omejila v Prosveti, kar je hvale vredno. Po mojem prepričanju, bi zadostovale, da se priobči v Prosveti ime podružnice ail društva in imena oseb, katere so nabirale darove, ter skupno vsoto, koliko je kateri poslal na pristojno mesto. Jaz za svojo osebo ne bi hotel, da bi čitali moje ime v Prosveti, da sem prispeval 25 ali 50 centov. P Bližamo-se konvenciji, katera se ima vršiti to leto. Nekateri člani se oglašajo v Prosveti in zražajo skrb, kako bomo pokri-i konvenčne stroške, ker je to-ik primanjkljaj v konvenčnem skladu. Pred seboj imam posebno izdajo Prosvete, katera je Jila izdana k 40-letnici SNPJ. Notri je naveden porast jednote v članstvu in premoženju od 1. 904 do 1. 1943. V tem pregledu vidim, da je štela jednota 1. 930 v članstvu 63,448, njeno premoženje pa je znašalo $4,-64,186.58 in ob koncu leta 1943* pa 64,144 članov, a njeno premoženje pa $10,832,627.86, kar »omeni, da se je članstvo zvi-alo med 1. 1930 in 1943 samo za ( 96 Članov, v premoženju pa za $6,064,441.28. Jaz mislim, ker je SNPJ največja slovenska organizacija in najpremožnejša, da se bodo našla sredstva za kritje konvenč-nih stroškov. Da bi bila konvencija čim bolj . uspešna in eratka, odvisi od društev samih, catera so upravičena, da pošlje-o delegate na konvencijo. Ako bodo društva volila delegate po sposobnosti, lahko članstvo pričakuje, da bodo na konvenciji storili vse najboljše v korist vsemu članstvu in v najkrajšem času, ker konvenčni čas je drag. Ako bodo pa delegatje voljeni po prijateljstvu ali pa."naj gre ongavl Janez- zato, ker ima največ časa," potem moremo pričakovati prav obratno. Nerad kritiziram, posebno še, ker je to moj prvi dopis v Prosveti, razen nekaj društvenih vesti, ki sem jih napisal tedaj, ko sem bil tajnik društva št. 448 SNPJ. Osem let je že, odkar se je to društvo združilo z društvom Adrijo it. 3 SNPJ, katero prav lepo napreduje. Zasluga za napredek gre največ naši tajnici Mary Vidmar. Naj navedem tukaj nekaj pri merov o nesposobnosti delegatov» Ko se je vršila zadnja konvencija v Pittsburghu, sem šel tudi jaz tja, kjer sem bil nekaj dni kot opazovalec. Prepričal sem se, da je bil med delegati marsikateri, ki ni bil posebno sposoben. Na primer: Delegat, ki skazi volilno glasovnico, ni sposoben delegat. Drugi primer: Slišal sem delegata, ko se je pogovarjal s kolegi delegati in razgovor se je nanašal glede glasovanja. Med drugim je dejal tudi tole: "Zakaj mi ne poveste o čem in zakaj se glasuje?" Ali je tak sposoben delegat? Videl sem tudi, ko je bilo javno glasovanje z dviganjem rok, ko so eni in isti delegatje glasovali za in proti. Takšni delegatje niso v ponos ne svojemu društvu in ne jednoti. Krivda je seveda društva, oziroma društvenih članov in članic, ki so izvolili takega delegata. Priporočal bi. delegaciji prihodnje konvencije, da bi odobrila še eno operacijo pod točko 85, in sicer operacijo za bezgavkami ali tonsilo. Stroški operacije tonsile znašajo okrog $50 in član, kateri je zavarovan za bolniško podporo in odškodnino, bi moral dobiti tudi nekaj odškodnine za to operacijo, zraven bi pa jednota prihranila na bolniški podpori, ker po mnenju zdravnikov bezgavke lahko povzročajo resno in dolgotrajno bolezen. O pravilih bi se lahko še veliko pihalo, posebno o bolnikih n nadzorovanju bolnikov, pa naj zadostuje za sedaj. Mogoče se ob priliki zopet' oglasim. Želel bi, da bi, se oglasil še kdo drugi z dobrimi nasveti in priporočili, kajti sedaj je čas, da razpravljamo d pravilih. Pozdrav vsem čitateljem Prosvete! Lotds Stefanich, preds. št. 3. NEKAJ SUGESTIJ STAREGA ČLANA WUt. 111.—Naša vrla mati SNPJ lepo skrbi za svoje otroke v času bolezni in ob smrti. Lansko eto je SNPJ slavila 40-letnieo svojega obstoja. Nikdar nisem mislil, da bom todi jaz dočakal ta jubilej, kajti 40 let je dolga doba. Tudi jaz Jo bom obhajal, ako dočakam prvega maja. Seveda ne s tako alavnostjo kot jo e SNPJ, pa me vseeno veseli, ker živim toliko ča8a. Zahvalju-em se SNPJ za vse, kar mi je pomagala v času mojih bolezni. Zadnje leto je bila razpisana kampanja za pridobivanje novih članov. Tudi jaz sem se podkl na agitacijo za novimi člani in imel sem nekaj uspeha, pridobil sem jih dva v odrasli oddelek in pet v mladinski. Moram pa reči, da je v teh časih zelo težko dobiti nove člane. Večkrat sem moral iti v eno hišo dvakrat in celo trikrat, preden sem dobil enega člana. Mislil sem si, da moram pridobiti nekaj članov, da nadomestim vrzel, kadar mene narava pokliče k več* nemu počitku, kajti do tedaj ni več daleč. Na puklji imam že 72 vozlov, vendar pa bom poizkusil pridobiti še kakega novega člana SNPJ. / Strinjam se z bratom Johnom Shularjem iz Kansasa, ki priporoča v Prosveti z dne 31. januarja, da bi glavni odbor oziroma prihodnja konvencija sprejela točko, da bi bili vsi delavci za jednoto nekoliko plačani, ako pridobe kaj novih članov v času, ko ni kampanje', kajti potem bi imel vsak Član večje veselje agitirati. Meni je dobro znano, koliko je stroškov pri tem delu. Ako im& jednota na razpolago denar, kadar je razpisana kampanja, lahko plača nagrade tudi izven kampanje. To bi bilo ja-ko pravilno za vse. Prav tako menim, da bi jednota plačala agitatorju nagrado takoj, ko član plača prvi asesment, kajti čakati na nagrado šest mesecev, je jako dolgo. Ako lahko privatne komercialne zavarovalne družbe takoj plačajo nagrade svojim agentom, potem bi lahko plačala tudi SNPJ, ako le hoče. Kakor sem zgoraj omenil, je SNPJ preteklo leto praznovala 40-letnico in jaz sem ji za ta jubilej podaril sedem novih članov. Mojo štiridesetletnico pa bom obhajal l! maja. Čestitam "Big TonyjuM iz Californije, ko je zapisal tudi svojo certifikatno številko. Ne spominjam se je več, vem pa, da so bile štiri številke, a moja jih ima samo tri, namreč 820. (Ostalo bo priob-čeno v dnevniku.—Ured.) Joe. Hauptman, 151. jaz vpi8ala v jednoto, a niso otroci slovenskih staršev, so mi povedali, da jim Mladinski list zelo ugaja. Ime Mladinski list so lepo in brez težav izgovarjali, kakor jaz, ki sem Slovenka. Sedaj pa me sprašujejo, kako to, da smo spremenili ime. Tolmačim jim, da je prav isto telo in glava, samo obraza nima slovenskega, oni pa mi pravijo, da jim je bolj ugajal prejšnji naslov. Verjemite mi, da je veliko odraslih Slovencev, ki radi čitajo Mladinski list, zato priporočam več gradiva v slovenščini. Spominjam se, kako je neki Slovenec, ki je živel pri nas pred mnogimi leti, rad čital Mladinski list. Ko je šel proč od nas, si je takoj naročil Mladinski list, da ga je prejemal na svojem novem bivališču. Katki Zupančičevi iskreno čestitam, ker je takd dobro opisala "mali grobek", samo žal mi je, da ni članek izšel v sredini izdaji Prosvete, da bi ga lahko čitali vsi člani in članice SNPJ.B Torej še enkra—solze na gro-' bek! Mary Udovich. SOLZE NA GROBEK Chicago. 111. — Ko sem čitala Proletarca z dne 31. januarja, sem opazila v koloni "Iveri", katero tako zmožno piše naša pisateljica Katka Zupančič, črno tiskane vrstice "Grob brez napisa", Vprašam se, kaj naj naslov pomeni? Čitam dalje in vidim, da gre za Mladinski list, mesečnik, ki ga izdaja SNPJ. Tudi jaz se pridružujem Katki Zupančičevi in žalujem z njo vred pri grobku. Te vrstice pišem radi tega,, ker imam skušnje v zadnjih treh kampanjah SNPJ. Kadar sem se podala na pot za novimi člani, sem vedno vzela s seboj nekaj šteVilk Mladinskega lista in povedala staršem otrokov, da ga bodo prejemali brezplačno, ko vpišejo otroke v našo jednoto. Verjemite mi, da mi je pri mojem uspehu ve-iko pomagal Mladinski list. Čez nekaj mesecev potem, ko sem se srečala z mladimi Člani mladinskega oddelka, katere sem IZ URADA DRU&TVA ŠT. 12S SNPJ ClovolancL O.—Članstvo društva št. 126 SNPJ je opozorjeno, da bo društvo obhajalo meseca aprila 35-letnico svojega obstoja. Društvo se je prvotno imenovalo Primož Trubar, ob združitvi z društvom Delavec št. 442 SNPJ se je staro ime opustilo, kakor je želela večina in izvolili smo novo ime Cleveland s staro številko 126 SNPJ. ÄÄÄ ¡¡£2. cull^^.TÄTuJr^1,4 Petintrideset let je lepa doba, zlasti če pomislimo, da je bilo veliko težav prva leta. Prosim člane in Članice, da v tekočem letu kooperirajo in pomagajo, tako da bomo ob društvenem jubileju pridobili nove člane in članice ter nadomestili, kar smo izgubili v depresiji. Vsakdo ima kakšnega sorodnika ali pri jate lja, ki bi se ga dalo pridobiti k našemu društvu. Naj omenim, da lahko pristopijo otroci v mla dinski oddelek, ne da bi jih bilo treba zdravniku preiskati. Samo listine se spolni in otrok postane član društva. Prihodnjič bom opisal nekoliko zgodovine našega društva, kajti sem ustanovitelj in ves čas v raznih odborih, zadnjih 25 let pa tajnik. Članstvo, katero redno zahaja na seje, ve vse podrobnosti glede društvenih zadev, več ne-rednosti pa je z onimi, ki neredno ali pa sploh ne zahajajo na seje. Rezultat tega je, da ne vedo, kaj je njih dolžnost do društva in jednote in ne vedo postopati pravilno, ko jih zadene bolezen. Ne vedo, da je potrebno izpolniti listine v nekaj dneh po zdravniškem pregledu in tako se zgodi, da je mogoče bolan mesec dni ali pa še dlje, a dobi samo nekaj dni bolniške podpore. Če se kaj takega zgodi, ni kriv tajnik in ne zdravnik, pač pa bolnik sam, ki ne pozna pravil in ne ve, kako* je treba izpolniti bolniške listine. Prosim, zahajajte na seje, kjer se ved no razmotriva o pravilih, poslovanju in dolžnosti članstva. Dovolj o tem. Opominjam tudi starše, katerih sin ali hčerka gre v službo Strica Sama, pa žele opustiti bolniško podporo, da morajo podpisati pripravljeno listino, ka tere imam vedno na rokah. Dokler je vojak v ameriških teri torijih in ako zboli ali se poško duje, je po pravilih opravičen do podpore. Moje mnenje je, da oni starši, ki žele dobro svoje mu sinu ali hčerki, bodo plačevali naprej, dokler se ne povrne. Saj $9 na leto ni dosti, ko pride nazaj, bo pa sam plačeval.) Naj še omenim glede pogrebov. V današnjih časih, ko smo vsi zelo zaposleni, ima težave oni, ki vodi pogreb. Tajnik navadno piše ducat ali celo več dopisnic, a odzove se eden sli dva To ni pravilno. Kdor je pozvan, a ne more priti, naj si sam preskrbi namestnika. Bratsko bi bilo, da bi se sami javili za po-grebce, kakor hitro vidite v časopisu, da je umrl član vašega društva, in to sporočite onemu, kateri vodi pogreb. O tem smo že večkrat govorili na sejah, tudi na letni seji, toda pomagalo ni, kakor da bi metal bob ob steno. Glede časopisa Prosvete priporočam vsem onim družinam, kstere imajo več članov pri SNPJ. a spadajo v različna društva, naj se naroče na dnevnik, v ka- Je veliko dobrega čtiva m več novic kot v tedniku pUScb. no je to priporočljivo sedaj, ker moramo hraniti na vseh straneh in seveda tudi papir. Vsak član ali članica plačuje za tednik $1.20 na leto. Ako pa je pet tla nov v družini, ne boste nič do plačali, temveč samo sporočite da želite dnevnik in dobivali g» boste. Prepričan sem, da boste zadovoljni z dnevnikom, želel bi, kjer vas je več članov v družini, da to preskrbite. Tudi če sta samo eden aU dva člana v družini, naročite si dnevnik' Člani društva naj bi naročili dnevnik pri tajniku, kajti on ne jemlje zase nobene provizije temveč pusti denar v društveni blagajni. Z bratskim pozdravom, John J. Gabronja. tajnik. PRIPOROČILA DRUŠ- * TVA 147 Cleveland, O—Društvo Vodnikov venec št. 147 SNPJ je na seji 4. febr. razpravljalo o bližajoči se jednotini konvenciji katera se ima vršiti enkrat v tem letu in je po širši razpravi sprejelo glede tega sledeča pri-poročila: Da društvo priporoča prestavo konvencije in sicer za povoj-ni čas, če je to izvedljivo in če v to privolijo vladne oblasti. Toda Če že mora biti konvencija, naj se spremeni mesto, /a se bo vršila v kraju, kjer je središče našega članstva in bo prevoz delegacije zahteval najmanj naporov, v Chicagu ali kakem drugem mestu na vzhodu Če se vrši konvencija, je društvo za to, da se skupno zavzamemo in prostovoljno znižamo število delegatov. Razlogi: Pri jednoti za enkrat nimamo posebno perečih vprašanj, ki bi morala biti predložena in rešena po konvenciji. Celoten gl. odbor je popolnoma zmožen rešiti tekoče jednotine probleme. Poleg tega se nahajamo v vojni, ko služi,vsa trans-portacija vojnim napprom, v času, ko padejo vojne obveznosti tudi na poškmeznike, In ker je pri tem Še naš kohVenčni fond bolj šibek, je priporočljivo, da se konvencija prestavi na povojni čas. Konvencija se bo morala naj-brže vršiti radi zahteve državnih oblasti. Vladne oblasti bi pa tudi lahko zadovoljili z manjšo reprezentacijo na konvenciji, Samo da je ta zakonita. Naše društvo je b» prostovoljno znižanje delegacije in sicer za najmanj 75 odstotkov. Volitve bi morale biti legalne in v smislu pravil. Na primer, namesto da pet društev izvoli vsako po enega delegata, se skupno sporazumejo in vseh pet društev izvoli samo enega. Kjer so federacije, bi prišel tak sporazum na skupnih članskih sejah in potem, ko je čas volitev, jih društva izvolijo. Oddaljena društva bi se tudi na kak način združila ali pa izvolila za svojega delegata kakega člana gl. odbora. Vse to bi se dalo izvršiti v dobrobit jednote, če bi bila volja za to. Voljo si pa moramo ustvariti," če so vzroki za to. In vzrokov Je sedaj dovolj, čas do konvencije je zelo kratek, pravila govore, da se volijo delegati med 1. majem In 3&. junijem konvenčnega leta, za to bi moralo članstvo kot tudi ¿1. odl>or hitro stopiti na noge in se po-globiti v to važno zadevo. Radi bi slišali mnenja drugih. Za društvo Vodnikov venec št. 147— Leo Poljšak, tajnik.

' ,'■ t t Veličastna prireditev Te dni smo doživeli nekaj, kar je dokaj razveseljivo in izredno važnega pomena za vsakega rt)jaka in rojakinjo in zato smatramo, da je na mestu, da se tu posebno zabeleži. Kot je bilo že prej v našem časopisju poročano, se je Združeni jugoslovanski odbor za pomoč staremu kraju odločil, da poskuša za našo pomožno akcijo zainteresirati tudi razne delavske organizacije, nekatere trgovce in industrijce ter druge veljake in vplivne osebe v Ameriki. Na tem dela že precej časa in v to svrho je bil zadnjo sredo, 7. februarja zvečer prirejen posebni banket z govor niškim ter godbenim in pevskim programom. Banket se je vršil v prostrani dvorani devetnajstega nadstropja velikega hotela Biltmore v New Yorku. Slovenci in sploh vsi Jugoslovani smo v vsem bolj skromni, zato smo naravno tudi bolj skeptično gledali na te priprave v en^m največjih hotelov največjega ameriškega m^ta. K sreči, pa se je nad vsa pričakovanja dobro izteklo, j V resnico fti pjlo nič takega kot je nam poznano kot banket, temveč vse liekaj drugega, bolj globoko pomembnega in veličastnega. Jugoslavija in nje herojsko ljudstvo je to pot bilo v rcsnici predmet velikih svečanosti v metropoli velike Amerike. V ogromnem nebotičniku se je zbrala raznolika ameriška publika, da počasti, ¿n ^reče fcpreč^u, se |ugo*lpvanr •skemu ljudstvu. Videli ste tam Američane iz vseh delov te prostrane dežele, zastopnike vseh slojev in ver ter političnih mišljenj. PriSli so, da pokažejo, kaj mislijo in kako čutijo o Jugoslaviji. Udeležil se je sam župan mesta New Yorka, kakor tudi senatorji Zedinjenih držav; ^tam so .bili duhovniki, profesorji in umetniki, predstavniki delavskih organizacij, zamorskih organizacij, lastnki parobrodov in ladjedehriški delavci, vojaki in mornarji, pa seveda tudi predstavniki raznih slovenskih, hrvatskih in srbskih organizacij in ustanov, med slednjimi tudi moja malenkost. Bil je to tipični presek prave Amerike. Gostov se je nabralo toliko, da v veliki dvorani ni bilo prostora za vse in mize so jim postavili kar po predvoranah, na galefiji in menda povsod, kjer je bil kak ugoden prostor za to. In kot smo izvedeli, bi jih prišlo še veliko več, pa jih zaradi pomanjkanja prostora niso smeli več vabiti. Zelo primerna za tako prireditev je bila oprema odra. Na vsaki strani so ga kinčale velike ameriške in jugoslovanske zastave, jugoslovanske z veliko petkrako rdečo zvezdo na sredi, skoraj čez celo steno pa se je razprostirala krasna slika, prikazujoča jugoslovanske borce, resnih, brkatih obrazov, ki so na pohodu v boj. Slika je delo poljskega umetnika Arthurja Szyketa in zelo dobro pogodena. Pod sliko so stali moški in ženski pevci in tamburaši v narodnih nošah ter so tvorili zelo dekorativno ozadje dolge mize častnih gostov, ki je stala počez odra ter segala od ene do druge stene široke dvorane. Slavnost se je pričela s povorko skozi dolgO dvorano, katero so tvorili jugoslovanski mornarji in ameriške WAVE, noseč ameriške ln jugoslovanske zastave, ob spremljanju malih bobnov, nakar so nastopili pcvci in tamburaši, tem pa so sledili gbvori. Pevci in tamburaši soprišli na vrsto tudi med govori in oni so tudi zaključi' program. Vodil jih je dr. Goranirt, ki še ni dolgo iz starega k»aja. Organiziral in izvežbal jih je nalašč za to prireditev. Peli v' "ajvcč nove partizanske bojevne popevke in izvršili so svojo "alogo krasno. Nastopila je tudi naša dražestna znanka in prijateljica Zir»ka Milanova, ki je operna pevka in sedaj poje v Metropolitan Opera gledališču v New Yorku; že parkrat pa je nastopila tudi na slavnostnih prireditvah naše jednote.

SALTY. 584 Jolly Allis lodge WEST ALLIS, WIS—The first 1945 meeting of the Jolly Allis SNPJ lodge 68P, had a swell turn out. By the way, don't forget to attend the next meeting Sunday Feb. 18, third Sunday of the month All who attended the February meeting had a grand time. There Was bunco for the ladies and cards for the men, and cake and coffee was served. The cakes were baked by Rose, and she has a surprise in store for this meeting also. We had in the past month on the sick list: Paula Artach, who is recovering from an operation; Mary Bolskar, who had a baby boy about two months ago, is also recovering from an operation; Elsie Saye, who came all the way from California to have Her tonsils out, says there's no place like Wisconsin for her. You all saw Elsie's picture recently in the Journul. Ann Teshner has been in the hospital with a bad case of pneumonia. She is up and around again. This is to notify all bowlers to attend the next meeting as the bowling entry blanks will be there. What happened to Al, Sophie and Vinci and the rest of you? This* invitation is not only extended to them but to the entire lodge. Alma Demshar (we all know her by that name) is expecting a baby in March. Philip Yersin's shirt buttons are popping off as his wife Helen just had a baby boy. Now he has one of each. These new additions are helping our juvenile membership climb nearer to the 50 mark. We now have 93 adults and I guess we'll have to get busy and hit the 100 mark soon. Art Demshar is back in the states after serving overseas. Vittee Stig-lich Is doing his part at Guadalcanal. I am hoping you boys all received the card the secretary had sent you; also, the present, which was in the form of January duos free to all servicemen. Frances Yamnik, who i* ulso serving our country, is now a bride. Her name now is Mrs. Williams. Congratulations. i Allen H. Hoffmann was back in Milwaukee again after being in Texas a while. Now he is living in Dearborn, Mich. He wua driving a truck 87 ft. long. He certainly has done some traveling from coast to coast and has taken a number of pictures of his tour.

George Ratkovich, another Navy man, called up long distance last week and talked to his mother and sisters. George is stationed at Livermoore, Calif. We read with interest Pfc. Arley Bozicnik's "thanx you note" to the fellow-workers at his former place of employment, published in tlysir monthly magazine. Cpl. Henry Rak sent us two V-Mails this week, both very interesting. "Hank" has been traveling through France real fast and is now in Luxembourg. He says that Americans'over here don't know how fortunate they are. "War is hell," and so much suffering, towns completely wiped out, etc. All-A-Round — Last Thursday's Chicago Sun carried an interesting "added facts" in the public forum section, "Arsenal- of Democracy," written by John Molek, as follow.,: "In appraising the Russian victories under the title "Russia Ruins the Myths" in the Jan. 28 ibsue of the Sun, you overlooked two very important facts: first, the American (and British) aid in arms and food to the Soviets; ian(|, second, the Allied smashing of the German war industries with bombs, thus reducing Hitler's fighting equipment. True, the Russian soldiers are courageous and have good generals, but courage alone does not win wars. The Russians were just as courageous when Russia was first attacked as they are today, yet for more than one year they were retreating. Their victories, beginning with Stalingrad, started after they were Weil supplied with American and British arms, shells, tanks and planes. Correspondingly, the Nazis began to retreat homeward with the diminishing of their supplies. The fact is that the American "arsenal of democracy" is winning the war for the Russians as well as for the Allied nations in general. Let us emphasize this fact." ne Pioneers Sgt. Fred Culkar Promotion from corporal to sergeant in the Army (Military Police) has been won by Fred Culkar, 22, according to wbrd received by his brother Joseph Culkar of Johnstown, Pa., with whom he makes his home.

STRABANE, PA.—The Pioneer monthly meeting, was h?ld at the SNPJ hall with only a very small attendance. It seems that it's Just the same few who attend every meeting that were present. We hope it was the bad weather and not a lack of interest in our lodge that kent the rest of the members absent. Plans were discussed to have social after the meetings or in some way make our meetings important and interesting enough to attract more than'just a few. To make anything a success, we need a majority of our membership to attend, so let's make a real effort to get to our next meeting, first Sunday of each month at 6:30 p. m Martin Loefflcr. a new member, is a welcome addition to the Pia-nccrs.

They were too magnanimous at Maidanek (death factory)-" Hva thinks that they are going t0 "correct these mistakes," if not now then 10 or 20 years hence. A German officer, von Wolke. who was recently killed in Hungary, wrote before his death: "We commuted a blunder. These Russians have proved to be so numerous that they have the power not only to defend themselves but, as we have learned to-our cost, to attack as well Our mistake was that we killed too few of them when we were in Russia. And now they are marching on our country. It is my will that my son Wilhelm shall be less humane." »Do you hear?" Ilya is asking. •Von Wolke was of the opinion that furnaces of Maidanek were too slow, that they handled only two thousand corpse» a day, and his son Wilhelm, when he grows up. must correct this mistake. "We know what they feel. And we know what we feel. We are on German soil. That means that we will wean them of their German "trade", that Wilhelm von Wolke will cut cars of wheat and not children's throats, that he will burn dung and not cities. It means that Germany will think with horror of her campaign against the Soviet Union and the world. "We are coming to them, and in our hearts is the woe of these forty months—the mutilated bodies of the infants of the Babi Yar ravine, the •desert zone*, the famine victims of the siege of Leningrad, our near ones and friends, the first gallows in Volokolamsk, and the still warm Ixxiies of the victims slaughtered as a last act of vengeance 1n the Kloog camps, our slain brethern, the homes of our fathers, the guerrilla region in Byelorussia where the Germans filled the wells with children. ' "And Pushkin's grave, the-'ghettos' with millions of defenseless men and women massacred, and blown-up Novgorod, our insulted old folk and youth stained with blood.

The Supreme Board will be meeting at that time, so we will invite their members to our meeting. In addition to the usual reports, we will discuss the problems connected with our Invitational Handicap Bowling tournament. John and Ida Simon are preparing refreshments and some of the boys from Chicago's Juvenile Cucde 20 will render a few songs. rThe usual monthly cash awards will be made. We are going to have a good meeting and a good time, so be certain to attend. Then, we want to repeat our invitation of last week-to attend the party in honor of Anne Groser Ku-mer at the Slovene Labor Center, Saturday, Feb. 17. Her husband, Michael R. Kumer, who is Vice-President of the SNPJ, will be attending the annual meeting of the Supreme Board, which will mean that he will .be with us, too. As we look bifck over the past years, we can truthfully say that Anne has shared in the work of the Pioneers right along and that she was always reliable and sincere about her Pioneer Lodge work. We owe her a debt which can only partly be repaid with a fine party. Let's have a rpcord turnout. Stanley Zordani and Joseph Zor-dani (Joe lost his eye only recently) are the first to send in their entry blanks for the Pioneer Invitutional Handicap tournament. Though Joe hasn't bowled for some time, he und Stanley intend to go out for flrst I place money. The second entry came in from Emil Hrast of Washington, D. C. Emil always manages to take time eff to attend this annual Pioneer event and he writes that he doesn't want to break his good record of the past. Ifs mightv nice to know that this chap will be back with us again and that he travels such a' long distance just to get back to Chicago to his old friends. Then, we have the first mother-daughter combination with an entry /rom Antoinette Zavertnik an Aphrodite Westphal. Although ten days remain before the dead-line for the entries we urge all of you to get them in soon. In connection with the Invitational Handicap tourney, the Pioneers will hold a social and party at the SNPJ Hall, immediately ufter the bowling. We intend to serve some goqa plate luncheons and make it a pleasant affair. Naturally, we will have refreshments and jgood dance music. We anticipate that all of thtf bowling will be completed by 3 p. m. . The social will follow immediately and, in addition, to the bowlers, the, rest of the Pioneers and friends and even the outside public is invited. There shan't be any admission charge. A fine V-mail letter from Arley Bozicnik, who is somewhere in Germany, tells us about some of the tough things our boys must do in the foxholes. They must prepare their own stoves for heating in tfc*» foxholes and their own shelter overhead, secure coal and see to it that not too much smoke is given off. Arley longs for home.—The other G.I. note of this week comes from Eleanor Ales, a WAC, located in Portland, Oregon. She tells us that the weather there is fine and that everything is going along satisfactorily.

The private profit big men have been fighting collectivism left and right. They are opposed to it in principle because it doesn't give the individual an advantage over the rest of his fellowmen for profits. Yet, they have upset their own argument against collectivism by the mere fact that ever so many of tho large corporations have sharpened their taste for collectivist research. This means that man* of the large corporations are pooling their resources in order to develop new products. Some of these range from poultry production to radiator and boiler-makers. Some of the largest companies are in these pools. Yet these powerful.interests, who know the wisdom of collectivist research refuse to allow the common people the benefits of a collectivist system.—Experiments are now going on in the General Motors plants on increasing the power of American bombers.

For half a century we have been fervently debating the desirability of wiping out the slum areas which disfigure our cities, small as well as large. Unfortunately, we have done precious little to solve the problem. And yet slum clearance should be one of the cornerstones of our pro gram for full employment after the war. Replacing our slums with houses fit for human habitation would guar antee a job to every building trades man in the country and would stiin ulate business and employment in every other industry. » Tho real estate dealer—he genef ally calls himself a real ton—1h main ly responsible for our failure to intelligently handle this vital reform. Of course, he is backed by the land owner. They seem determined that nothing shall be done unless they are permitted to supervise the job and collect exorbitant profits. If they have their way, the slums will remain with us and building will be confined to suburban "developments" which affprd the realtor and the landowner the best op gortunity to satisfy their greed. I Major General Philip B. Fleming, who is the administration's chief public work administrator, appreciates this danger. He's a West Point er, a distinguished member of the Army Engineers' Corps and a public servant who is never swayed by personal interests. In a statement to a congressional committee last week, the general issued this warn ing: "Most of America's bigger cities must rebuild, make themselves at tractive places to live, or go broke. 1 "The constant leakage of taxable wealth in the larger cities threatens the bankruptcy of several of them within the foreseeable future. "The tendency to live in suburbs, manifeated by those who can afford it, is losing not only wealth, but brains to the cities, "The way to stop it ia not to replace a building here or there, but to demoliah large areas of slums and rebuild according to a new and complete design. "Former slum land, thus acquired and cleared, would be free from noise and eity dirt and protected against undesirable encroachment. 'The land might be leased or sold for development by private enterprise according to a controlled plan." « Labor dqes not object to private enterprise doing the job and reaping a proper reward, but private enterprise will never put over such an undertaking unlesa the cities, states and nation control the plan, as the general »uggests, and insist that everything done muet be in the interests of the community and particularly of *he poor and moderately well-to-do. —Labor.

News and Views The recent dance of the Veronluns resulted in $125 for the Nationul Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. That is a worthy achievement for a worthy purpose, and the Veronian Lodge 880 is to be complimented for its humanitarian character. The need for such a fund was well expressed bv the writer's nephew, Marty, who said that those who have or have had that physical handicup will donate liberully to the fund. Marty has been suffering a left arm condition, and we are happy to report a remarkable Improvement as a result of the popular Kenny treatment. This person met with an unhappy experience during the past week when he was challenged by a civilian for a doubtful contribution to the war effort. It came as a result of being in uniform and enjoying (he relativelv generous life that Army life only in the United States can provide. It's needless to say Labor Resolved to Win the Peace By William Qreen War has required the Ameiicun people to make hard and heavy sacrifices. The eoming of peace may likewiae Invoke tempoiury hardship until the problems of adjusting industry and production to new economic conditions are m< t. But the workers of America will face the rhalienge of the future as they have responded to the Impart of war—with their heads held high and their spirit undaunted bv eny difficult»*»« that may impede the march of achievement. For Ou> vision we see ahead is too glorious to be obscured by dis-rourugMuent oi delay And we err resolved diet our hard work and our coriatant faith will win the peace just as surely as we am winning the war. that had this civilian confronted a more pugnacious soldier, or one who had returned from the bitter fighting in the mud, snow and foxholes of Europe, that un exciting period could have followed the challenge. We mention this only to prepay our civilian population for decent treatment of uyr servicemen when they return The returning boys are going to be required to undergo a piriod of readjustment equally difficult to the readjustment required when thev entered the various services. Civilians can do much to aid und encourage this readjuatment. The fact Is that no person in uniform needs to make any apologies to unyone for his part in this war, whether having served at home or abroad. And the situation can be extremely embarrassing, as' it was tu my challenger, if the one challenged did nut have an easy time of it and frequently wished he were back in tho one really safe and comfortable place in this world. There is much thut we can do here. MICHAEL R. KUMER. 710.

By Michael Vrhovnlk Tha official entry blanks. important rule« and information, and a letter of invitation were mailed last week to more than a hundred proapective lodges scattered in a dozen or more states, most of them located in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana. No doubt there are lodges, among the remaining five hundred which were unintentionally excluded from the mailing list, having members who desire to enter the first 8NPJ National Telegraphic Tanpin Bowling Tournament. In all such cases we advise the lodges to direct requests for entry blanks to the Athletic Director. Later on we intend to have the entry blank published in the Prosveta in order not to miss any SNPJ bowlers who want to participate. / - • • » As aach local "telegraphic" tournament is organized, the member chosen as the tourney secretary should immediately notify the Athletic Director of this sction, snd in the same letter furnish him with his (her) name, address, and the lodge or lodges conducting the tourns-ment. As soon after as possible, he should also be informed of the name and locution of the bowling establishment where the tourns ment will be staged This is irnpor tant for the reason that it is our intention to list sll tournament site», bowling time, ctc.^and have name published in the Prosveta from week to week until the tournament is held. This is intended mainly to help bowlers In each locality to enter a tournament of their choice, preferably one most convenient to their homes. When reserving a place for your tournament, make sure first of all that the alleys arc certified by the Amcrlcen Bowling Congress, otherwise you will be disappointed later to learn that none of the games liowled counted. When alleys aru approved, a certificate is issued to the proprietor verifying the fact that the alleys fill all specifications required by the Rules and Regula-tions of the American Bowling Congress. Remove sll doubt beforehand by checking the certificate and carefully noting that it was issued for the 1044-45 season. • • • The two dales set for the "telegraphic" tournament are Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 2». Local tournament officials have the privilege of choosing eithe r or both dates, depending on the number of entries und the convenience of the howlers. It is not permissible to bowl any event of this tournament prior to or after the dates selected by the National Athletic Board. Thrae "telegraphic" tournament sites have slresdy been picked. In Westorn Pennsylvania Lodge No. SSI (Pioneers) of Straban* will be the hosts in chsrge of the bowling • vents and social affair there, Prank Tonulc.

Whitey" is the League's hard-working president this year, while "J. J." is serving his second term on the National Athletic Board representing the 3rd District. With these two veterans holding the reins, there can be no doubt of the caliber of tournament in Cleveland. We can also be sure the social event, held in conjunction with it, will be more than the average bowler anticipated—and yes, you can be sure the reporters will be on the job jotting down notes of interest from every angle, j. • • • The third site is Chicago in the midwest section. Here the Pioneers <558) will be in command wjth Prank "Lafly" Lotrich representative of the National Athletic Board, and Edward Hudale. long an active member of the Society, at the helm whipping the necessary arrangements into shape. While developments are gradually crystallising to a point, the main details sre not yet ready for publicstion. But when they are, we can feel doubly certain there will no slip-up in cooperation, all-around sction snd publicity long before the big event is scheduled to begin. That takes car« of three localities and others will be announced as fast ss they sre reported. We expect soon to hear of action taken by lodges in such wall-known bowling centers ss Detroit, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Springfield. Johnstown and- other cities, and from the smaller towns like La Salle, III.; Girard. Ohio; Sharon, Pa.; Gowanda, N. Y.J Bar- bcrton, Ohio, etc. • • • Wherever possible, lodges should make an effort to bowl in one of the centralized tournaments. These attract a larger gathering of keg-lers and spectstors and therefore, more competitive spirit and social enjoyment can be expected. Of course, if the traveling conditions, work, or other good resson prevent« you from participating in a central tournament, we suggest then that you bowl at the nearest bowling alleys. This is not to be interpreted nr.caning that you can switch from one tournament to another. Make up your mind where you want to bowl, enter there and stick. aod downs" in bowling, here is what happened to Andy Varipepa, a top-notch kegler. exhibitionist and in structor for over 25 years. Bowling in the Peterson Classic last Friday night, he wound up the eight game series with the miserable average of 152, totaling 1299 altogether. Then the very next evening he shot 1701 in the De Vito tourney for an average of 212, and probably good for 5500 m prize money. It proves that the best can be very poor on their off-daya. But in the SNPJ "telegraphic tournament, the good, mediocre and poor bowlers all stand a gpod chance to win a prize either through good bowling or the consolation method of distribution. But more about this later. ft Rudy Puqel of the Milwaukee SNPJ Bsdgers (584). former holder of the National Doubles Match Game Championship with Ned Day, was one of many "big name stars" to wind up the Peterson Bowling Classic in Chicago last Sunday. This ■the richest individual tourngmqnt the country with a prize fund of 543.000, topped bv s first prize of 55.100 und a 52.000 second placo award. Like numerous other nationally known keglers who had thiir chances and failed in the previous fifteen days of the tournament, Rudy also failed to make the grado shooting an unimpressive 1377 for the eight game stretch. On the other hand, Elwsrd Blake, member of the "Young Americans" (504), Detroit, Michigan, who holds the all-events record of 1949 in the SNPJ, rolled 1521 in the Peterson Classic and 1559 in the De Vito Classic on consecutive evenings. He finished third and sixth respectively on his squad* and is assured u place among the prise winners in both tournaments. Nice work. El! A distinct dinappointment to his followers was Charles La use he. Cleveland Barrister and brother o( Ohio's governor, who bowled a poor I SSI in the Peterson event.

Adjustable straps are useful to correct the fit of a slip from bust to waist, but don't let a salesclerk talk you into buying a too-long or a too-short slip on the theory that the length can be fixed at the shoulder strips Such adjustment wiB throw the whole slip out of line; it will fit poorly and wear poorly. Slips cut either wholly or partly on the bias usually fit better and have less tendency to ride up and twist than do stragiht-cut slips; beside«, they're stronger at the seams Slips sewn by hand are costlier, but they are not as durable as well made machine-sewn slips. Look for straps firmly attached to the fabric—not to the lace or the decoration; on slips made with double tops, the straps should be inserted at least a quarter of an inch between the two layers of fabric If you buy a knit slip, try to get one that's runproof. You can recognize a runproof knit from the fact that the ribs on the face run at right angle« to the ribs on the reverse. Knits have an advantage for busy women in that they need not be ironed if they are pulled into shape when still wet. then dried flat. Nylon slips—made of nylon government rejects—are occasionally available. Nylon is a very atrong fabric; it ia quck-drying and need not be ironed. But many nylon slips are so poorly constructed that they are not worth buying. ■ "Best Buys" found in CU's tests include the following: Crepe: Bar-bizon Bryn Fair, $1.95; Seamprufc, 51.98; Barbara Lee, $2.25.

HEADACHE Recurrent headache« require medical care rather than a dose of some advertised "pain killer." CU's medical adviser warns in an article on the subject in Consumer Reports. For the cauaes of headaches are many and varied; they include, among others, high blood pressure, infection, feVer, allergy, nervous' tension, fatigue, colds and eyestrain. A drug.may do a temporary job in relieving the pain, but it cannot ef/eCt >a permanent cure. And some of the drugs on the market may do lasting harm—some hsve even been known to cause death to sensitive persons. For an occasional headache, aspirin 1« the safest drug, though many persons gar sensitive even to aspirin. One aspirin tablet is generally a« effective a« two. therefore take only one at a time. And take your aspirin pill with a pinch of bicarbonate of Soda to avoid nausea and stomach irritation. Beware of patent medicines containing acetanilid, antipyrina, acet-phenetedin, bromides and amino-pyrine. All can cause serious illness in sensitive,persons. Acetanilid and the bromidea tend to be habit-forming. Read the labels; avoid these drugs. COOKING.

The much-publicised Planters Hi-Hat peanut oil rated "Not Acceptable" because of its poor color and generally poor processing and because it smokod and smellcd at frying temperatures. And the widely-advertised Crisco and Spry were rated "Acceptable" for baking, but not for high-temperature frying, since they smoko at these high temperstures. Oils good for both baking and frying included Durkee's Peanut Oil. Royal Cook Oil Mixture, Wesson Cottonseed Oil. Good all-purpose shortenings included ShurUnc, Durkee's.

Acting chairman Harold J Laski referred to the Prime Minis ter as a "gallant and romantic relic of eighteenth-century imperialism." Bitter criticisms were directed by speakers from the floor against gov ernment policy in "liberated" coun tries, but the conference accepted the nec«a«ity. of working in Tory harnes« so long ss th« war lasted and decided not to break with the Tory government until the post-war general election.. Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labor and most influential jot the British labor leaders now on the government payroll, took the floor at the Labor Party Conference in an all out defense of the Prime Minister and his policies. Mr. Bevin said, I took part with my labor colleagues in^ the whole of theae dis cussions, going over nearly four years, trying to work out these terrifying problems that would arise at the end of the war." As he looked over the discussions, Mr. Bevin added, he did not feel that any mistakes had been made. Greek stability was essential to the stability pf the Balkans. The stability of both was re lated to the position in the Mediterranean. "The British government cannot abandon its position in the Mediterranean. It is impossible for it to do so." There Mr. Bevin put his finger on the vital issue. On that iasue Mr. Bevin and his fellow labor leaders and Mr. Churchill and his fellow Tories see eye to eye. The future of the British Empire depends upon British control of the Mediterranean, and all other issues are secondary to this primary consideration. What a picture of power politics and of the ideological depths to which collaboration leads labor, representatives. It might be assumed thst Ernest Bevin, head of the larg-est trade union in the British Isles, would throw at least a few crumbs of comfort to the ha|f-«tarved Greek masses in their struggle to tree themselves from the second armed occupation within five years. But, ironically, the comfort comes from the Tory Times, while labortt« Bevin defend« the Tory conqueror. Active military participation by | British coalition government in the Greek civil war seems to justify several rather significant generalizations: V 1. Britain, by playing a minor role on the western invasion front, is able tofievote time and attention to building up her fence« around the Mediterranean. 2. Prime Minister Churchill's government, backed by a huge fund of U.S.A. lend-lease supplies, is leading the forces of Europe's counter-retolution in Greece, Italy and perhaps also Belgium. 3. Political expediency compels the leaders of the British Labor Party to continue their collaboration with the Churchill government and to refrain from any direct criticism of its counter-revolutionary activities. 4. The only official word'of protest against the Churchill policy has been uttered by Wall Street-trained Secretary of State Stettinlva. • General de Gaulle's visit to Moscow resulted in the signing of a twenty-year French-Soviet treaty. This treaty, like the Anglo-Soviet twenty-year treaty of 1942, is sn offensive and defensive alliance, di-rcctcd against German aggression, with a clause providing for mutusl economic assistance. The signing of the treaty is an event of major significance: 1. France regains her status as a major European power. 2. This status is recognized first by the Soviet Union. 3. Moscow now has close treaty tics with Britain, Chechoslovakia, France and Japan. Thus, while the two other major powers, Britain and the USA., are in one (anti-Axis) world, the Soviety Union is st the satrc time in »he United Nations world and in the Axis world and thus, and in the broadest sense. Is the one cosmopolitan world power. In mv last letter I quoted President Roosevelt's slogan, "Unite to win the war and to achieve a lasting peace.'; and asked everybody to think over iU adequacy as s basis for i**t-wsr peace and security. The President's slogan suggests three ideas—unity, victory and peace Unity is an excellent concept, provided It Is sufficiently Inclusive With whom does Mr Roosevelt pro poae to unite? With the American economic rovalists and the Britiah Tories? Of course They are his buddies. With »he executives of the American and British labor unions? Certainly. Thev are his henchmen With the French Resistance and the Spanish Republicans? Well perhaps With the Jim-Crowrd American Negroes and the lailrd leaders of the Indian National Congress* Hold on. Not so fast. And how about the Jugoslav Federation, under Marshal Tito, snd the Greek Liberation Front, battling Mr. Roosevelt's British Tory buddies for s chance to set up a government of their choice? But they are revolutionaries! And the 70 million Japanese and 75.million Germans? Absurd. They are the enemy I The President's slogan really begins with the unity, not of the human race, but only of special privileged groups among the best-armed peoples. Now as to victory. Will victory bring peace? A large body of historic experience answers in the neg stive. In 1018, for example, the A1 lied Nations won a sweeping victory over the Central Empires. Did this vietory bring peace? No. It led directly to World War II. Similarly, the many brilliant vie tones won by Napoleon between 1798 and 1612 did not bring peace On the contrary, they led to the bloody field of Waterloo. President Wilson stated this point very clearly when he declared that the peace, if it was to last, mpst be "a peace without victory " Vietory he said, humiliates the vanquished and, by stirring dp feelings of ha tred and vengeance, leads inevitably to another war. Professor Mortimer Adler has stated the point somewhat differ ently: "Nothing less than world government will establish world peace, even in the least degree (Common Sense, January 1944, 1 15). President Roosevelt favors peace But he also wants unconditional surrender and backs the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, under which the Big «Three will hold a monopoly of the world's arms and arms-making plants. W.T.R. Fox (The Super Powers Harcourt, 1044, pp. 8-0) offers this post-war picture: "Fifty years from now, or five huhdred years from now, men may have discovered a substitute for armed force in world politics. . . To understand the international relations of the next generation, however, one needs to know the precise location of pre-ponderant military power." After pointing out that Britain, the Soviet Union and the U.S.A. are unwilling to lay down their arms or to create supra-national authority "with preponderant force at its command," Mr. Fox goes on to discuss "the prospects for a war between the Soviet eastern power nucleus and the Anglo-American western aggregation" (p. 103). Walter Lippman takes precisely the same position: "A universal society can only be a voluntary association of sovereign states. It can not be a world government because there is no way, now conceivable, by which this government could obtain . ... the power to legislate and to execute its laws (U. S. War Aims, Little, Brown, 1944, p. 183). Mr.' Lippman goes on to discuss, as did Mr. Fox, the pertinent question, Where does the armed power lie? He finds this power in a nuclear alliance that includes China and the Soviet Union, but is centered about the Atlantic Community. The Atlantic Community is based upon a close aasociation of the British Empire, the United States and other countries bordering on the At 1 «ntic. "A rational military policy for the United States can be founded only upon a solid political under stsnding that war within the Atlantic region is unthinkable and that war beyond it, and in defense of it, is certain to be a combined opera tion" (p. 72). Mr. Lippman, like Mr. Fox, is preparing in advance so that, when the next war comes, the preponderance of military power will be on the side that he favors. He therefore looks forward, not to' peace, but to victory in World War III. President Roosevelt's slogan envisages unity in a very narrow field. Certainly he docs not mean to include the outcast peoples and the "forces of evil" against which he is now waging his struggle for all-out victory. And he is surely mistaken If he supposes that peace will follow victory. We live among nations every one of which has a war department and not one of which has a peace department. We live among nations that spend more money on the waging oft war than on all other items in the na-t onal budget. We live in a lawless world, because there is in the world no authority competent to make or enforce law. All issues on which the nations cannot reach agreement n ust therefore be submitted to trial by armed force. Peace is possible only in an orderly world. Order, in our Umes. presupposes law, Obviously, until s world law-mak-ing add law-enforcing body Is set up. there can be no peace. On the contrary, as Spykman so clearly pointed out, "war in the twentieth century is total war. the combination and integrstion of military, political, economic and ideological tactics in to one great war effort . . . The result is that the distinction between the war-time and peace-time forms of the oower struggle have now been effaced completely. No state can think any longer of preparation for nst tonal defense merely in terms (A®. Politic, of preparation for a future conflu The struggle is waged continuous!; Total war is permanent war ' erica's Strategy in World Harcourt, 1942, pp. 38 and 40 9 Modern statesmen, including President, are directing affairs in world dedicated to the wagi,,» ¡S permanent war . On what other a? sumption could they be justified calling for universal military corT sCription after the unconditional surrender of their present enemies* The President, his Secretaries QSf War and Navy, his Chief of Staff and many of his leaser spokesmen are on record in favor of peace-time conscription because he knows and they know that, while the competi tive struggle tdr wealth and power endures, war will continue to be one of it« instruments. They and we must choose between world law under world government and the seU tlement of world conflicts by an appeal to arms. Well, how about it? Are you convinced of the validity of this argu-ment? Or can you still be fooled by slogans such as, "Let us unite to win the war and to achieve a lasting peace"? Housing Program \ to Prevent Crash Congress was urged last week to adopt a sweeping housing program as a bulwark against disastrous post-war depression. Harry C. «Bates, chairman of the American Federation of I^tbor Housing Committee, submitted a 10-year phm for the construction of 15.mil-lionhomcs, and declared this is the "minimum need." He argued it would be the "most powerful generator of post-war employment." Boris Shishkin, economist of the A. F. of L., said the program can be brought into high gear within five years after the shooting stops, when it will yield nearly two and a half mililon construction jobs alone. Full operation of the program, Shishkin asserted, will provide jobs for six and a half million workers directly engaged in production and handling materials. It will also create a vast market in household equipment, appliances and home furnishings sufficient to yield each year many more millions of full-time jobs, Shishkin said. To be effective, Bates declared, a housing program must provide financing at lower interest rates, and longer periods of repayments; reduce the cost of materials, guard against "jerry" building; safeguard the home buyer's investment in case of ¿default oh mortgage due to unemployment; protect against deficiency judgments, and require payment of prevailing wages. A number of other witnesses were heard by the committee, including government officials. Voluntary Methods Man Ships 1 * Smashing new proof that voluntary methods will get results in recruiting manpower came last week from the War Shipping Administration. During December, the W. S. A. revealed, it received demands for 16,000 additional officers and men to operate ships for overseas duty-more than any other month in history. With the help of maritime unions, a high-powered recruiting drive secured the necessary 16,000, the W. S. A. declared. "Every man was a volunteer," the agency said. "December was truly high spot in American history. "In fact, we have met every emergency with which we have been faced in this war, and we will continué to do so in the constant battle to keep the supply lines open."
