Stettinius, je izrekla proti preiskavi si-aacije na Javi in ozadja bitk britskimi četami in indo-_mi silami. Slednje se boža neodvisnost Indonezije in ^ti holandski nadvladi. Stettinius je predlagal, naj se tonflikt prepusti v izravnavo jolandski vladi in voditeljem poonezov. Člani varnostnega iveta so zaključili svojo sejo brez odločitve o predlogu. Vpra-anje navzočnosti britskih čet v ndoneziji bo danes ponovno >rišlo na razpravo. Stettinius e je kot načelnik ameriške de-egacije postavil na stran Veli-ie Britanije in proti Rusiji v wntroverzi glede situacije v Indoneziji. Dimitrij Manuilsky, komisar i zunanje zadeve sovjetske Ukrajine in načelnik ukrajinske delegacije, je predložil resolucijo z zahtevo, naj varnostni svet imenuje posebno komisijo, kate-fcuj bi šla v Indonezijo in vodili preiskavo na licu mesta, fmaijo naj bi tvorili reprezen eed iškimi Odmevi članske kampanje SNPJ Agitatorji pridobili blizu 500 članov v januarju; na častni listi je 76 kontestantov in društev, ki so že dosegla svojo kvoto Kot smo omenili zadnji teden na tem mestu, je bil januar najboljši mesec v tekoči članski kampanji za proslavo 20-letnice angleško poslujočih društev. Društva in pridni agitatorji obeh spolov so zadnji mesec pridobili 498 novih članov—301 v mladinski in 103 v odrasli oddelek, 94 pa jih je prestopilo iz mladinskega v članski oddelek. To število je do danes rekord v tej kampanji. Da bo kampanja živahna tudi v tem mesecu, pokazujejo prva poročila za februar. Marljiva Rose Radovlch, ki poživlja pueblško naselbino s svojo energijo,*dobro voljo in razsodnostjo, je prvi teden prijavila zopet 11 novih članov in s tem dvignila svoje število na 36. Nadaljnjih devet novih članov je prijavil Lawrence Caasol. tajnik angleško poslujočega društva 680 v Veroni, Pa., prej pa jih je že pridobil šest. Angela Schneller. tajnica društva 338, Virginia, Minn., se je oglasila s petimi. Prav toliko jih je zopet prijavil Joeoph Fifolt, član gl. nadzornega odbora in tajnik društva 566 v Clevelandu, ki jih je v tej kampanji že pridobil 16. Pet novih članov je prijavilo tudi druitve 589 v Strabanu; še enega in društvena kvota 17 bo dosežena. Zelo dober februarski začetek, pravi kampanjski direktor. Na častno listo (priobčena je na 5. strani) se je do zdaj povzpelo 76 kontestantov ali 42 več kot ie ta lista štela prejšnji mesec. Ako tudi v tem in prihodnjem mesecu napravi enak skok, bo štela blizu 150 kontestantov.' Med temi kontestanti je 18 članov angleško poslujočih društev, izmed katerih je na prvem mestu sestra The-rese Masgon iz Hostetterja, Pa. Na čelu te liste je še vedno br. John Shaffer iz Crivitza, Wis. Kakor poroča kampanjski direktor br. Michael Vrhomlk v an gleški sekciji, je do zdaj 29 društev doseglo društveno častno listo —14 več kot ob koncu decembra. Na to listo pridejo ona društvav ki dosežejo svojo kvoto. Radovedni smo, da-li bo štela sto društev ob koncu kampanje. Čas je Še, da se to zgodi! Katera društva so do zdaj na častni listi, lahko vidite y poročilu kampanjskega di rektorja v angleški sekciji. Zadnji mesec so se najbolj odlikovali v kampanji sledeči člani in članice: Mery Presnlkar (419), Harwick, Pa., ki je pridobila 25 novih članov; Camilua Zamik (742), Cleveland, O., je na drugem mestu s Id člani. Sledi mu Marten Knesovlch (134), Superior, Wyo., s 14 člani; Mar* Vidmar (3), Johnstown, Pa., 13; John Shaf l«i«vjet»ke Ruaijer AmeriMvi v<»]jnik nemške armade.

Kampanja bo trajala še dobrih šest tednov. Cilj kampanje je DVA TISOČ novih članov—to je brez onih, ki prestopijo iz mla-iinskega v odrasli oddelek. V štirih mesecih kampanje je bilo pridobljenih nekaj manj kot 1200 novih članov, povprečno torej plizu 300 na mesec. Za dosego cilje jih bo treba še nekaj nad 800. Campanjski direktor br. Vrhovnlk ie siguren, da jih bomo dobili, cajti zadnja dva meseca je kampanja najbolj živa in doseže svoj /išek v zaključnem mesecu. Tako pokazujejo vse kampanje zadnjih let in upamo, da tudi ta ne bo izjema. Toda pri tem ne sme )iti nobenega popuščanja v tempu. Zdaj je čas, da med ^contestant! nastane prava tekma za deset {lahnih nagrad—za vprašanje, kdo bo šel na prihodnjo konvencijo naše jednote v Minnesoto kot častni gost s plačano voznino (po ">et centov od milje) in dvema dnevnlcoma. Vsi ti častni gostje >odo predstavljeni konvenciji kot najboljši agitatorji ali agitato-rice jednote v sedanji kampanji. Te Časti more biti deležnih le ieset najuspešnejših kontestantov. Naprej do cilja! Avtna unija vztraja v borbi Obnova fogajanj s korporacijo Detroit. Mich.. 12. febrs.—Voditelji unije adruženih avtnih delavcev CIO so naznanili, da se bo stavka proti korporaciji General Motors nadaljevala in da ne bodo sprejeli zvišanja plače za 18 in pol centa na uro. To zvišanje so dobili člani unije United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers CIO, ki so zastavr kali v tovarnah električne opreme te korporacije. Po zvišanju plače je bila stivka preklicana in stavkarji so se vrnili na delo. Walter P. Reuther, podpredsednik avtne unije in vodja stavke, je poslal telegrame u-radnikom krajevnih unij s pozivom, naj vztrajajo v stavki. On je tudi naznanil, da se bodo pogajanja z reprezentanti korporacije obnovila. , Avtna unija je obdolžila korporacijo kršenja provizij Wag-nerjevega zakona, glede kolektivnega pogajanja. O obdolžitvi vodi zaslišanje federalni delavski odbor. C. E. Wilson, predsednik korporacije General Motors, je na zaslišanju pred federalnim od borom branil pravico svobode govora. Korporacija je namreč objavila oglase v ameriških listih, v katerih naglaša, da bodo cene avtomobilom zvišane, če bodo zvišane plače delavcem. V stavki proti korporaciji je zavo jevanih čez 175,000 delavcev. On je izjavil .

C.. 12. febr.— Jeklarska industrija, ki je že dobila zagotovilo, da ji bo zvišanje cen jeklu prineslo povečanje dohodkov za $250,000,000 letno v zameno za zvišanje plač delavcem, zahteva dodatno vsoto $100,000,000, pravi poročilo iz vladnih krogov. Industrija vztraja pri zahtevi, da se mora cena jeklu zvišati za pet dolarjev na tono. Ako bo vlada pristala na zahtevo z namenom, da konča stavko, v kateri je zuvojevnnih čez 750,000 delavcev, članov unije CIO, se bodo njeni dohodki povečali na $430,000,000 letno, stroški, Če bo plača jeklarjem zvišana za 18 in pol centa na u-ro, pa na $185,000,000.

Vojaki so v navalih zasegli /.alogo dokumentov ln nelegalnega orožja ter aretirali veliko itevilo Jugoslovanov in Poljakov. Vsi so osumljeni operacij na črnih tržiščih. Neki častnik tretje ameriške irmade je dejal, da so bili navali odrejeni, da bodo jugoslovanske in poljske grupe, ki se tkušajo igrati z armadami na papirju, Čutile okovano pest.

Razkrito je bilo dej« itvo, da so skušali agenti polj-ike reakcije pregovoriti po Ijske itražnike, naj se pridružijo pro-tivSršavskim silam.

PRO SV K T A | Ponudi Ustava nove Jugoslavije SplMl predsednik SANSs ETBIN KRISTAN ' Po poročilih iz Belgrada je ustavodajna skupščina sprejela načrt ustave kakor ji ga je predložila vlada, ožiroma ministrstvo za ustavodajno skupščino. S tem je rešena glavna naloga tega parlamenta in rešena so vsa vprašanja, ki so prihajala od skeptikov, od konservativcev, od napačno poučenih "demokratov" ln od hudobnežev, že leči h, I ^peščica zafci^ih reakcio-narjev dobivala potube v zapad-nih demokratičnih*deželah, kjer bi se jih po pravici morali otresti kakor golazni, se bo Jugoslavija razvijala mirno in nemoteno tako, da bo v doglednem ča- pravcatih ______ da bi propadlo vse, kar je bilo zgrajeno z brezprimernimi žrtvami ln cementirano s krvjo neštetih sinov in hčera jugoslovanskih narodov v teku štiriletne nadčloveške borbe proti fašizmu in izdajstvu. Ustava je gotova stvsr in jasno pove, kakšna je ln kakšna bo tista Jugoslavija, katero je ustanovilo ljudstvo samo po svoji svobodni volji. Med nekdanjo in sedanjo Jugoslavijo je ogromna razlika in žalostno bi bilo, če je ne bi bilo. Saj nI nobena novica, da je v Belgradu dolga leta vladala diktatura ln kdor nI pozabil vsega, kar se je tam godilo, se lahka spominja na romanje ministrskega predsednika in njegove soprfcge v Berlin v času, ko je še razmeroma malo ljudi spoznavalo nakane nacizma in so bile meje med Nemčijo in Jugo-salvljo še daleč narazen. Ni čuda, da so postale »oblike čaršij-ske diktature popolnoma fašistične in če je kaj resnice na tem—in kdo bi dvomil?—da so se bojevali za zatrtje fašizma in nacizma, mora razumeti, da je bilo treba tudi diktaturo v Jugoslaviji poteptati ln onemogočiti njen povratek. To se je sedaj zgodilo in vse demokratične dr žave bi morale z radoščenjem pozdravtl to dejstvo. Pravzaprav—to je nova usti vs zapečatila; začela pa se je u stvar jati sedanja Jugoslavija, ko je ljudstvo odreklo priznanje kapitualcljl generalov ln začelo odpor na lastno pest, ne glede ns modre svete begunske "via-de" v Londonu, ki je hotela ja hatl na plotu in čakati do časa ko bo popolnoma gotovo, nn ka tero stran se nagne končna zmaga, Ljudske množice v Jugosla vlji niso dvomile; bile so pre- su zacelila svole težke rane, tako težke, da jih v tej deželi niti oceniti ne morejo, in ko se to zgodi, bo napredovala, da se bo čudil ves nepristranski svet. Prvo poglavje ustave potrjuje to, kar so zastopniki jugoslovanskih narodov označili za svoj cilj, ko so preža 11 nanje sovražniki od vseh strani: "Federativna narodna republika Jugoslavija je zvezna narodna država republlčanske oblike, skupina enakopravnih narodov. ki so svobodno izrazili svojo voljo, da ostanejo zedinje-ni v Jugoslaviji." (Pridevnik "narodna" je tukaj rabljen v smislu "ljudska." V srbščini delajo razliko med "narodnim" in "nacljonalnim" kakor bi mi med "ljudskim" in "narodnim." Zadnje čase pa je tudi pri nas prišel izraz "narodno" za "ljudsko." Jugoslavija— kakor tudi njeni sestavni deli— Je torej ljudska republika in na tej podlagi je izdelana vsa ustava.) "Federativno narodno republiko Jugoslavije sestavljajo: Narodna republika Srbija, narodna republika Ht*vaška, narodna republika Slovenija, narodna republika Bosna in Hercegovina, narodna republika Macedonlja in narodna republika Črna Gora. Narodna republika Srbija ima v svojem obsegu avtonomno pokrajino Vojvodino In avtonqm no kosovsko-metohijsko okrož je." Tako je naposled ustanovljeno to, kar so vsi narodi Jugoslav!* _*r« — i j i u ~ to. kar so vsi narooi jugosiavi* prtčane o zmag. demokracije. ffi^^J* nckoliko Celesrb- svoji zmagi, katero so hotele s H? v *r7 " T ...... vso silo svoje volje ln so zaradi tega bile pripravljene na vsako žrtev za dosego cilja. Živkoviči Jeftlči, Kreki niso imeli te m«>-či in so hoteli biti pripravljeni za vsak slučaj, da rešijo sv<|jo kožo tudi če bi triumfifsl hltleri-zem ln nekateri med njimi so celo upali, da dožive tak rezultat. Ko so zapustili Belgrad ln deželo, še ni bila Sovjetska zveza napadena in Zedinjene države še niso bile v vojni. Skorsj vsa Evropa je bila pomandrana in nemške čete niso še nikjer občutile poraza. Treba je bilo velike notranje moči. da je človek verjel v osvoboditev; to moč je imelo ljudstvo, ki se je skorsj goloroko postavilo v bran, niso pa Je imeli gospodje, zbrani o-krog "njegovega veličanstva," ki se ni zavedalo, da je le lutka v njihovih rokah. Ljudstvo v domovini Jv kuj hitro opazilo globoki prepad, ki je zijal med njim in samozvano "vlado" in se anostavno nI ralo nanjo In na njene edikte Tudi sklicevanje na 27. marcu ga ni preslepilo. Vedelo je, dn ne bi bilo nikdar dvorske revo! te. če ne bi bilo ljudstva po vseh krajih z mogočnimi manifesta cljami, ko Je zvedela za Cvetko-viČevo izdajstvo, pokazalo svn jega revolucionarnega mišlje nja. Petru je ta dan prinese krono, narod pa je takrat poka zal svojo voljo za obrambo, ozl roma za priboritev svoje svobo de. Takrat je narod začel ti svojo novo ustavo. In je dopnuins in potrjena, seveda brez sodelovanja tistih, ki so ves čas mislili <-dino na svoje osebne Interese in bi bili pripravljeni pobotati s<* z vaškim zmagovalcem. če bi jim bil povrnil košček oblam I Odkar je Nemčija poražena so bile po zunanjrm svetu razširjene vsakovrstne pravljice o "Titovi diktaturi," o "komunističnem terorju" in podobnih strašilih v Jugoslaviji. Keskcio-narni krogi v Evropi in Ameriki so slastno sprejemali take l>a)k»* in nezednješka propaganda je kile teko vsiljlvs. da Ji je tudi dosti več ali manj liberslnih duš podleglo. Ce Imsjo dobro voljo, se sede j lahko prepričajo, da so se narodi Jugoslsvtje resnično osvobodili ln ne potrebujejo no-henih tujih lekcij o pomenu svobode in demokracija. ln če ne -lasti, po ljudskih odborih, ki so, od mestnih ljudskih odborov do zborov narodnih republik in do skupščine federativne narodne republike Jugoslavije nastali in se razvili v narodno osvobodilni borbi proti fašizmu.in reakciji in so osnovne pridobitve te borbe. ■ Vse organe državne oblasti, narodne odbore, zbore ln skupščine volijo državljani na podlagi splošne, enake in direktne volilne pravice s tajnim glasovanjem." Kaj je demokracija? Nikdar se še ni U beseda rabila in toliko zlorabljala kot v teh dneh, ko si Peter in Pavel, Nace in Pepe in tudi Judež lasti patent. Nekateri jo rabijo kot lopar, s katerim ti mislijo ubiti vsak argument, ampak bognedaj da bi jo hoteli analizirati. "Demokracija je tako kakor pri nas" —in s tem, mislijo, je vse opravljeno. Mnogo bi se lahko govorilo o demokraciji, ali presegalo bi daleč obseg teh vrstic. Menda pa bodo tudi največji dlakocepcl priznali, da nI demokracije brez ljudske kontrole zakonodajstva in izvrševalne oblasti. Kjer je volilna pravica splošna, enaka, direktna in tajna, je ta pogoj realiziran. Zedinjene države so demokracija, ker Ima ljudstvo tako volilno pravico. Taka demokracija je Anglija, Avstralija itd. In taka demokracija je Jugoslavija. Lahko se gre pač še malo dalje. Na primer: Dvom nastane če imajo državljani sicer volilno pravico, ampak jo posebni zakoni lahko omeje ali odvzamejo. Pravijo, da se to včasih zgodi, če se zahteva poseben davek za izvrševanje pravice. Ali pa, če je volilec gospodarsko tako odvteen, da more glasovati kakor hoče kdo drugi. To pa vodi do problema gospodarske demokracije, ki se ponekod smatra za kočljiv predmet. Jugoslavija se je tudi tega dotaknila v poglavju o družabno gospodarski ureditvi. Ampak tisti, ki bi ra- di zakričaU—"komunizem!!!!"— naj potrpe. Nedvomno Je v Jugoslaviji dosti komunistov, tudi na važnih mestih so, saj je Tito celo predsednik vlade. Toda u-stava ne uvaja nikakršnega komunizma in najbolj znani komunisti v Jugoslaviji so, kot vse kaže, veliki reelisti, ki upoštevajo razmere in menda verujejo v zakon razvoja. Dasi so oči vidno in iz umevnih razlogov simpatije do Sovjetske zveze zelo močne. nI jugoslovanska ustava kopija ruske in sploh ni nikakršna kopija. In Tito je bil imenovan za predsednika vlade od narodne skupščine, kateri je odgovoren kakor je n. pr. Attlee odgovoren angleškemu parlamentu Skratka, ustava dokazuje, da je Jugoslavija postala demokracija, kar se ne bi bilo moglo reči o Zivkovičevi ali Cvetkoviče-vt Jugoslaviji; obenem daje u-stava narodom Jugoslavije možnost razvoja in napredka, kakršnega niso imeli, odkar je bila u stanovljena krfska deklaracijska Kraljevina Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev, ki je v resnici bila kraljevina Pašiča in njegovih naslednikov.

V teh minulih žalostnih vojnih časih smo popolnoma opustili in pozabili na domače zabave in piknike. Kakor prikukajo svetli sončni žarki skozi temne oblake po neurju, prinesejo tudi veselje in upanje na boljše čase. Na prvi letošnji seji so naše. članice sprožile misel: če je moškim članom prav, priredimo spet malo veselja za vse in vsakogar, ki se bo udeležil te domače zabave, Ker ni bilo ugovora in ker so ženske prevzele vso odgovornost za Izpeljavo tega načrta, Jim je dalo društvo polno moč glede a-ranžiranja priredbe. Ker. so svojo nalogo izpolnile ln predložile načrt, bomo imeli veselico ln prisrčno kličemo in vabimo vse naše člane ln Članice ter prijatelje, kakor tudi članatvo vaeh sosednih mllwauških društev, da pridite na veselico in se malo s nami poveselite. Domača zabava ae bo vršila 23. februarja v Reberniškovi dvorani, So. 6th st.; pričetek ob pol osmih zvečer. Za plea bo igral znani Eddy Gallun. Imeli bomo na koše krofov in potic ter drugih izbornih jedil, da se bodo kar mize Šibile. Tudi moče ne bo manjkalo za auha grla. Določeno je, da mora vsak Član ln članica plačati vstopnino, pa če so udeleži veselice ali ne. Torej ne obotavljajte ae ln pridite vsi, ker ves dobiček, če ga bo kaj, je namenjen ze društveno blagajno. Se enkrat, priarčno ste vabljeni vsi in na gotovo svidenje v soboto zvečer, 23. februarja.

Pismo smo upoštevali, vstopnice r razdelili med članstvo in potrdili lojalnoat do organizacije. Vabilna pisma in vstopnice je prejelo Še 30 drugih lokalnih jednotinth društev. Tudi ta društva m storila svojo dolžnost, vstopnice razdelila in medsebojne vezi okrepila. To kar je veljalo za vsa ta društva, velja tudi za vsi* članstvo, katero se ni udeležilo zadnjih društvenih sej.

Smisel te novice je, da se bomo moraii v Ameriki odfiovedsti belemu kruhu za nekaj mesecev, mogoče do jeseni. Kruha bo sicer dovolj in morda tudi boljše redilne vrednosti, toda ne belega, iz katerega (iz moke) so sedaj izpre&ani vsi vitamini. Komur ttf za rženl kruh, ki je po hranilni in zdravilni kakovosti sicer boljši kot beli, ki ga kupite v trgovini iz fabriških pekarn, se bo moral zadovoljiti z "whole wheat" ali napol "whole wheat" kruhom. Kruh, spečen iz cele pšenične moke, po kakovosti sicer daleč presega kruh iz bele moke, ker vsebuje vse vitamine, katere je blagodejno solnce zaplodilo v luskini in na notranji strani luskine pšeničnega zrna. Človeku pa so razni vitamini prav tako potrebni v prehrani kot so kalorije. ■«».!«? V prejšnjih časih ljudje sicer niso ničesar vedeli o vitaminih in kalorijah, ker pač niso poznali kemične sestavine živil. Sploh niso poznali niti mnogo živil, ki so dones naša vsakdanja hrana. Se ni tako veliko generacij, ko Evrops krompirjs sploh še ni poznala, kakor tudi ne koruze in marsikako drugo išciivje in sadje in zelenjavo. Tudi še ni tako dolgo, ko v mnogih Krajih vseh kontinentov sploh tudi pšenice niso poznali in torej*tudi ne belega kruha. Bili so časi, ko človek sploh ni poznal nobenega žita, ne pšenice ne drugih žitaric. Vse žitarice, vse sodivje, vso namizno zelenjavo, vse sadje si je človek sam vzgojil s križanjem in cepljenjem in prilagodevanjem raznih rastlin. Sploh še ni tako dolgo, komaj dobro generacijo, ko Je bilo sejanje pšenlde v pasu Minne-sote, Severne Uakote in višje on kanadskih prerijah zelo riskirana stvar, kajti farmar ni bil nikdar gotov, če mu bo dozorela. Danes je s pomočjo botaniške vede, ki je razvila popolnoma nove vrste pšenice, ta rizika popolnoma. odpravljena. »n Ampak to je nekaj drugega kot je namen teh vrstic. Brez pšenice sicer ril kruha, vsaj ne belega ali napol belega. Kruh pa je tisto, za kar danes gre. Gre za milijone ljudi v Evropi, kateri nimajo nikakšnega kruha, ne črnega, še manj pa belega ali nap61 belega. In kruh je skoraj v vsej Evropi glavna prehrana. * • ! i Situacija v Evropi je tako resna v zvezi s prehrano, da je naša vlada zadnji teden odredila, da se bo moralo ameriško ljudstvo za nekaj mesecev odpovedati belemu kruhu, da bo Amerika mogla poslati čim več pšenice v Evropo. A ko tega ne *fc>ri, je velika nevarnost, da umrje 10 do 15 milijonov ljudi od lakote. Zato je predsednik Truman odredil vsem mlinarskim firmam, da morsjo zmleti vso pšenico v moko, tudi tsko zvanc otrobe, ki fsktično vsebujejo nsjveč redilnih snovi ali vitaminov, Vsled tega bo tudi kakovost moke boljša, čeprav ktuh ne ho zgledu! tako hei. Ampak kakovost kruha je odvisna tudi od tega, kako je spečen. Slab pek bo tudi iz najboljše moke spekcl slab kruh. . Ptedsednik je tud* odred* 1 zmanjšanje porabe pšenice za izdelovanje žganja In piva, kakor tudi apeliral na farmarje in "feeder-je," naj ne krmijo klavne žlvlje s pšenico v taki meri kot so Jo zadnje mesece. «»' Tudi me*a, maščob 'n mlečnih Izdelkov bo tnotfd£c manj na trgu kot jih je zdaj. Vendar pa ne grozi pomanjkanje;! Vprašanje Je. da-ll imo v vej deželi pripravljeni, da si nekoliko zmanjšamo grižljaj zato, da preprečimo v Evropi masno umiranje ljudi od lakote? Kdor ima v sebi koMčkat človeških simpatij in ne vidi le samo svojega trebuha, nad to Tiumanb^ odredbo ne bo godrnjal, marveč jo pozdravil kot delo usmiljehja, V Ameriki smo v resnici srečni, kajti tukaj num stružna Vtfjna ni prinesla nobene lakote, nobenega razdejanja. Ako bo kdo v tej deželi lačen, bo vzrok drugje, predvsem v slabem gospodarskem redu. To, kar vlada zahteva od naa tu nasičevanje lačne Evrope, je v resnici nujmajn, kur smo dolžni storiti napram sočloveku. Iste dni je prišla iz Londona vest, da je angleška vlada odredila novo sniiatije živilskih odmerkov. Novi odmerki bodp taktično nižji kot so bili kdaj v vojni. In ungleška delavska vl^da Je to stortlu predvsem iz ta/loga, da bo od svojih pičlih odmerkov lahko poslala nekaj več /ive/a v Evropo. S Glasovi iz naselbin tik Sličnc ves.li prihajajo tudi iz vi hodne in južne Azije. Indiji, preti še veliko večja lakota kot le b'la lani In pnsdlanakem, ko Je tam umtlo čez pet milijonov ljudi od stradanja. V sllčnem polo-žaju je Kitajska, kjer je lakota v zadnjih letih pokoaila veliko vef ljudi kot pa vojna Te i/gube računajo na okrtig 30 milijonov Tudi Japonska se nahaja pred enako lakoto. Po poročilih Ima dovolj riža, ki je glavna hrana vseh Orientalcev, samo še za dva meseca Potem bo poginoma odviiuta od uvnsa. Tako ni v v/b«idni A/iii nobenih živeta zQ Evropo, Sled nja je za preprečen je masnega umiranja od lukote popolnoma od visne *»d Amerike, Kanade in deloma od Južne Amerike, predvsem od Argentine,' Kanada je na ptimer >e prtai meseci zopet uvedla odmerke, da lahko pošilja c«n> več živeža v Evropo. V Ar gentini so velike zaloge pšenice in koruzf, toda dežela oboje rabi za kurivo, ker primanjkuje petroleja in premoga. Odkar Je to ku rivo pričelo prihajati v Argentino, m* je zvišal tudi Izvoz koruze In pšenice v Evropo. Vse to pokazuje, kako je svet povezan med sabo, narod odvisen od naroda. &e lansko poletje in v jenenl je bilo toliko pšenice po kansaških prerijah in drugih krajih trednjega znpeda, da farmarji niso vedeli kam i njo. Naenkrat pa je nastala potreba, da zame njamo beli kruh i napol belim Toda če ne bo hujlega, smo lahko veeeli. Z DRUŠTVENEGA POLJA NORTH CHICAGO-WAUKEGAN Waukegan, III. — Letna seja delničarjev zadruge (Waukegan-No. Chicago Co-op) se bo vrSila v soboto, 16. februarja; pričetek ob pol osmim zvečer v dvorani Slov. nar. doma. Na dnevnem redu bodo finančna poročila, poročila raznih odborov, volitve novih direktorjev, predložen bo načrt za prenovitev glavne trgovine in načrt odbora za skupno trgovino električnih aparatov. Izobraževalni direktor skuša tudi preskrbeti filmsko sliko "The Star in the sand", katera kaže življenje Jugoslovanov, ki so bili izgnani leta 1941 v Egipt. Teden pozneje, v soboto, 23. februarja, bo v istih prostorih praznovalo mladinsko društvo "Little Fort" št. 568 SNPJ 20-letnico obstoja. V ta namen in obenem v pocast članov, ki so se vrnili iz vojaške službe, bo prirejena plesna veselica "Noč v Sloveniji". Igrala bo S. Gre-gorinova godba. Cena vstopnicam je 60c; v predprodajl se do? be pri članih društva. Odbor prosi vse goste in člane, ki lastujejo narodno nošo, da naj jo oblečejo za ta večer. Pričetek ob osmih zvečer. "To je bilo sijajno," se je izrazil dr. Neubauer zadnjo soboto večer, ko je zapuščal Slov. nar. dom. Njegov obisk v naši naselbini se je v resnici sijajno obnesel, škoda le, da je bil čas prekratek, ter smo moža malo preveč utrudili. V soboto dopoldne je obiskal urad lokalnega Rdečega križa, kjer se je ravno vršila kampanja za nabiranje potrebščin za po vojni prizadete dežele. Amerikanke, ki so pomagale pri tem delu, so bile njegovega obiska zelo vesele. Za tem je obiskal Lake County T. B. Sani-torium, kar je bilo zanj v resnici užitek. Izrazil se je, da tako moderne urejene bolnišnice še ni videl nikjer na vseh svojih potovanjih. Za kratek čas se je ustavil v slovenski zadrugi, ki je tudi zanimala. Povsod je napravil dober vtis. $koda le, da mu ni bilo mogoče obiskati Abbott Laboratoryja, ker je mel nujen opravek v Chlcagu. Kljub temu pa je podarila ta tovarna Jugoslovanskemu rdečemu fcrižu za $400 -$500 zdravil. Zaslugo ima pri tem slovenski policijski načelnik No. Chicaga Jacob Novak, ki je vodil posredovanje v tej zadevi. Zvečer mu je pa Jugoslovanski pomožni odbor priredil shod, kjer so mu bili predstavljeni predsedniki vseh društev in klu-mv, ki sodelujejo pri tej akciji. V dvorani je bilo navzočih nad •PO rojakov, ki so z zanimanjem sledili njegovemu opisu borbe ugoslovanske osvobodilne armade, ter o sedanjih razmerah v opustošeni Jugoslaviji. Poaobno zadovoljivo so vplivali na avdi-enco njegovi odgovori na vprašanja, ki ao inu bila stavljena. "To je človek, ta Jugoslovan!" e pripomni! pri prost možak v uvdijenci. Te beeede izražajo na kratko spoštovanje, ki so ga poalušulci čutili do njega ■IVldi'premičnih slik "Ljubljana pozdravlja osvoboditelje," *mo bili zelo veseli. Navsočih je bila tudi precej Hrvatov in Macedoncev Pnspevki oddani na odru so bili sledeči: Slovenski narodni dom S2S0, alovenaka zadruga ft K' Sheldon, Wtf£-Na zadnji društveni seji/'kV^ je vršila 20. januarja, je bila precej dobra. ii-deležba, kar je v resnici razveseljivo. Ob tej priliki sem izkoristil priložnost in vprašal članstvo, kako bi praznovali 36-letnico našega društva. Društvo 273 SNPJ je bilo u-stanovljeno meseca junija 1916 in spodobi se, da kaj ukrenemo glede tega društvenega jubileja, da ne bo šel neopaženo mimo nas. Piknik bomo pa imeli enkrat poleti, datum pa bomo pozneje odloČili. Na seji je sprožil br. Medved vprašanje glede dvorane, namreč kdaj bomo postavili svojo dvorano^ nakar smo o stvari precej debatirali, potem pa izvolili posebni odbor, ki naj dobi do prihodnje seje vse potrebne Informacije. V tem odboru so spodaj podpisani, John Medved, SREDA, 13. FEBRUARJA bi 25. dan v mesecu 20pet M znamovali z rdečemi črkam, kot" zadnji dan za plačanje asesmen! U. Res je, da pravila določajo da je zadnji dan v mesecu » plačanje osesmenta in denar mora biti v glavnem uradu du petega v prihodnjem mesecu to-da če dodate, še pet ali pa deset dni, ne bo nič boljše za tajnike ker oni ne morejo čakati zadnjega dne, ker pridejo vmta razni zadržki odpošiljatvijc a-sesmenta. Priporočal bi tajniku, da bi društvene tajnike, koliko družili I je v društvu, tako da bi vsaka družina prejela po en komad ko-ledarja. Pri našem društvu smo vsakdo" leto prekratki z njimi Prejšnja leta sem jih takoj pre^ štel in ker jih je bilo premalo sem jih takoj naročil, letos p^ se mi je videla škatla s koledarji precej velika, zato. jih nisem preštel, potem pa jih ni bilo to-liko notri kot sem je zdelo in tako je ostalo osem družin brez koledarjev to leto. Strinjam se z dopisom Johna Vidmarja iz Livingstona, 111., ki je bil priobčen v uradni Pr,osve-ti dne 30. januarja. Prihodnjič bom tudi jaz povedal svoje mnenje glede konvencije. Lucas Dernovsek, blagajnik. VABILO NA ČAJANKO Detroit, Mich. — Članice gospodinjskega odseka Slovenskega delavskega doma smo na zad-Injkseji razpravljale, da je treba še vedno pomagati zdaj tukaj, zdaj tam, naša blagajna pa je izčrpana, vsled tega smo prišle do zaključka, da priredimo 17. februarja čajanko. Torej pridite na to zabavo. Zadnjič sem poročala o prispe vatel j icaH za tombulo, a pomotoma sta bili izpuščeni Helen Kržišnik in Tereza Petrič, ki sta darovali jpotice. Najlepša hvala! Ko sem poročala, Še nisem vedela natančnega računa o priredbi 16. decembra, preostanek te priredbe je znašal $167, katerega je o»aša blaga j niča izročila Johnu Kralju, blagajniku podružnice SANSa, da ga pošlje na .pristojni} .mesto za pomoč naš/m bja-toro in sestram v atari domovini.

Medveška v S ry Schwarzel. in imamo tudi iz Madisona nekaj pojasnil glede tega, zato prosim, da se vse Članstvo udeleži prihodnje seje, da bo tako lahko imel vsakdo priliko, podati svoje mnenje glede te zadeve. Res je, da je malo težko sedaj dobiti potrebni material, toda če ne bomo mi pričeli zidati, bo pa kdo drugi, kakor smo slišali. Če bi se to zgodilo, potem bomo morali mi drugim drago najemnino plačevati, namesto da bi oni nam. Sedaj pa nekoliko kritike o koledarjih SNPJ. Pred nekaj leti je bilo veliko kritiz ranja v Prosveti radi tiste slike na koledarjih, kar pa se je meni videlo nespametno ter sem to tedaj tudi izrazil v Prosveti. Slika na koledarjih nima dosti pomena, glavno je, da je primeren napis in črke dnevov. V tem o-ziru pa je slabše vsako leto in moram koledar vzeti v roke in si natakniti očala, da vidim datum. Glavni odbor potroši vsako leto precej lepe vsote za jednotine oglase, kar je prav, dobro pa bi bilo, da bi bili malo bolj previdni s koledarji, ker so najboljša reklama za jed noto, rečeni, da boljša kot list Prosveta. saj kar se tiče našega društva. Zato bi bilo pametno, da bi bile Številke in ostalo ttivo koledarjev večje, da bi vsak lahko či-tal. ki stopi v hišo in pogleda koledar. Priporočal bi tudi, da OBVESTILO NAROČNIKOM CANKARJEVEGA GLASNIKA Cleveland, O. — Cankarjeva ustanova v Clevelandu bo poslala v vezavo vse letnike Cankarjevega glasnika, ki jih ima v zalogi, zato obveščamo vse bivše naročnike, kateri imajo shranjene vse letnike revije in jih žele N.

V gtavku, ki nov pribežalo preko meje tja et pred vojno in tako odprto ni bil nihče njen član, tudi dr. Je-enc ne. Razpustila je tudi vse delavske kulturne in prosvetne ustanove, med njimi tudi Cankarjevo družbo, ki je bila na vsej črti socialistična in pri kateri so se Seliikar, Cerkvenik in Klopčič najbolj udejstvovali. Trditev, da so dr. Jelene in "še marsikdo drugi"—med njimi tudi ikof Rožman! — bežali iz Ljubljane na predvečer njene o-svoboditve zato, ker v Jugoslaviji "ni demokracije," je za otroke. Resnica je, da so zbežali v Italijo le oni, ki niso imeli čiste vesti, ali pa imeli celo umazane ali okrvavljene roke. Tragično je to, da so med temi ubežniki tudi nekateri bivii socialisti ali socialdemokrati, ki so v času največje preizkuinje omadeževali socializem in sami sebe. Proaveta bo v bližnji bodočnosti priobčila novo ustavo Federativne ljudske republike Jugoslavije. Iz tega sijajnega dokumenta, ki je juridiČni, gospodarski in socialni fundament resnično Nove Jugoslavije, je razvidno, da-li je ali ni naia stara domovina demokratična. Br. Molku smo v Prosveti pripravljeni dati kolikor prostora hoče za trančiranje te ustave. Če nam bo mogel dokazati, da ta uatava ni na vsej črti demokratična, in sicer mnogo bolj demokratična kot je bila ie kdaj sestavljena kakina državna ustava, tedaj bomo odprto priznali, da smo se grdo varali, ker smo verovali in podpirali Titovo o-svobodilno gibanje in da je bil br. Molek ves čas v pravem, ker mu je nasprotoval od sačetka. Anion Garden* urednik publikacij SNPJ. se je glasil, "laz pa živim od ju ' ^slovanskega naroda,"' ge bi moralo glasiti, "jaz ne živim od jugoslovanskega naroda." Dalje bi se moralo pravilno glasiti, da so na zadnji seji podružnice M SANSa zastopniki teh druitev kakor tudi 610 SNPJ in Istran-ski družabni klub izrekli, da bodo sodelovali in po svoji moči pomagali pri tej priredbi. Tako bi se .moralo glasiti, ne pa, da so se priključili k podružnici. Na koncu pa ponovno apeliram, da se vsi že danes odločite, da boste pohiteli 17. mares v Masonic Temple ter s svojo navzočnostjo pomagate herojskemu jugoslovanskemu narodu. Jaeeb Brljavac, tajnik 64 SANSs. PRIREDITEV V SPRINOriELDU Springfield, IU. — Delsvske razmere so tu približno take kot po drugih krajih. Premogovniki delajo vsak dan, tovarne ps po večini po 8 dni na teden. Sedaj kaže, da bodo morali tovarne zapeti, ako ne pride do poravnanja stavke jeklarskih delavcev. Vsak cent, ki si ga delavec pridobi, se /nora boriti zanj. Upanje je, da se bo stavka kmalu končala in delavci dosegli zvišanje plač, Nsii rojaki v Springfieldu se tudi zanimajo za *taro domovino in dvakrat smo že poslali veliko obleke in obuvala za trpeče brate in sestre, kar jim bo vsaj malo pomagalo v t#h groznih časih. Cr bi Človek imel kameri v srcu, se bi moral usmiliti ns-iih dragih, ki toliko trpijo. Rojaki, usmilite se in če ima ie kateri kaj obleke ali pa konzerviranih jedil, naj poilje v New York ali pa na bližnjo podružnico SANSa, katera bo potem po »trla na prigtojno mesto. Mog^e bo kdo rekel, da bo že dsl, ko se bo prepričal, da so deležni daril nail rojaki. Taki izgovori so slabi. Reveži potrebujejo sedaj, ko so lačni, nagi in bolni. Podružnica 15 SANSa bo imela v ta namen priredbo v nedeljo, 24, februarja; priletek ob dveh popoldne v Slovenskem de-Isvskem domu. Nastopil bo tudi govornik, ki bo pojasnil sliko razmer in o grozotah, skozi katere so ili nail ubogi bratje in sestre v stati domovini. Poleg govornika bodo predvajani filmi Kaj naj to pomenita ,,g Če bi bila v današnji Jugoslaviji res demokracija, res svoboda tiska in govora, kakor je v Ameriki, i^e bi bilo treba Jelen* cu bežati na tuje-4n ie marsikomu ne. Cerkvenik—ki je zavrgel slovenskega sodruga in ai je nadel sovjetsko-ruskega variia"—je poročal Proletarcu, da je Jelene "pobegnil z belogardisti ln nacisti vred." To je ista tehnika defamacije (očrni-tve), amalgamska tehnika, ki operira na ta način« da povežei socialiste in demokrate skupaj g failsti, klerofaiisti, kapitalisti in drugimi reakcionarjl—da bodo bolj grdi! Ali je to men posvečuje sredstva! Sodbo o "jasnih in nejasnih glavah" bo pa izrekla bodočnost, ki bo bolj trezna in objektivna, kakor je kolebajočs sedanjost. Ivsn Molek. NEKOLIKO KOMENTARJA Da se Angelo Cerkvenik, Tone Seliiksr in Mile Ki/ipčič "niso nikdar identificirali s kakino stranko ali sploh v politiki pred vojno," kot trdi br. Molek, je to nekaj novega, povsem v nesoglasju z resnico. Zakaj pa so bili preganjani v stsri, napol fs-i i stični Jugoslaviji? Dejstvo je, da so bili vsi socialistični pisatelji, poznani kot tski in pregs-njsni kot tski. Policija je lmels posebno ns piki Mllets Klopčl-ča in Toneta Sellikorja, kar je br, Molku dobro znano. Znano mu je tudi, da je ČirŠIJska diktatura razpustila vse opozicijske stranke, tudi godalistično, že več iz Jugoslavije. Filmska predstava s« bo pričela ob dveh popoldne, nato bo naašopll govor« nik, potem pa bo sledil polurni odmor, nsto ps plen In prosts zabava. Za lačne in žejne bo preskrbel odbor. Ves čisti preostanek bo poilan na pristojno mesto za pomoč našim bednim rojakom v stari domovini. Torej ste vabljeni vsi rojski od blizu in daleč, da nss gotovo poselite ns 24 februsrjs v Slovenskem delsvskem domu. Priredba se bo začela ob dveh popoldne zato, da bodo lahko od-dsljcni rojaki priili ob času domov. SkorsJ vsi avtobusi In električni vlaki vozijo na vse strani od S-10 ure zvečer. Na gotovo svidenje!

ENGLISH SECTION For Members of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY The Last Six Campaign Weeks '' OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW that January was the most productive month in the current anniversary membership cam-paign, which started Oct. 1st and will closd March 31. In January, the fourth campaign month, the Society gained a total of 498 new members in both departments. This is a record for any single month in the present drive and bodes well for the remaining two campaign months, February and March, in which much activity is expected to be shown by our active* campaigners. Of the total number of 498 new members secured in January, 301 were juvenile and 103 adult members, plus 94 transfers from the juvenile to the adult department. In December/ total of 365 new members joined the Society. The combined total for the first four months of the six-month campaign is 1497 new members. In this total are included 300 juvenile transfers; not counting the latter, the net total would be 1197 new members, which is still a substantial gain. However, if we want to reach the goal of 2000 by the end of March, each of the two remaining months, February and March, must bring us at least 400 new members, or a total of not less than 800 new members. . Our past experiences show that most ot our previous membership campaigns were by far the most productive in the concluding months. We ere hopeful, then, that this campaign will prove no exception to the rule but that our active campaigners! will exert their power to bring the campaign to a glorious conclusion. This can be done only by the concerted effort of each end every individuel member and lodgee as s whole in order to celebrate the ESL's 20th anniverssry most fittingly. > ★ * ★ WE MUST REDOUBLE OUR efforts from now until the end of the drive if we wsnt to mske the filial results crown our work. Let's go sll-out in the next 45 dsys that are left of the drive and bring in all insurable youngsters, not neglecting the adult prospects in our canvass. The next six weeks—thet is the time left for our campaigning—must be msde our MOST important campaign weeks! Much can be done in tnlis period, end we can do it! And when we sey "we," we are referring particularly to our English speeking lodgee. Why? Because this campaign is being conducted in celebretion of the 20th enniversary of our English speaking lodges. It is'the duty of each end every ESL to do its share in this campaign by enrolling a large number of new members now. Only in this way will we observe our own anniversaiV in a fitting manner. The current campaign presents a splendid opportunity for local lodges to build their membreship. A wide field is open for the enrollment of children and adults/for membership and protection in our Society. According to statistics, there are approximately eighteen million children in the United States between the ages of 1 and 10, and of these only about one million and a half are enrolled in fraternal organizations. Lodge officers and members would do well to investigate this field in their own locelitles. Let us remember thst sn enthusiastic and interested group of young folks will assure the future of any lodge. The future of sny lodge lies In its young members. * * * THE ADVISABILITY of carrying fraternal insurance protection on children has been pointed out many times, and It has long been an sccepted feet. The time to insure en Individual Is at the youngest age possible, Aside from protecting the child, term certificates also protect the parents until the child Is ready and able to make his own decision regarding further Insurance protection. The SNPJ issues three types of juvenile protection: Plan I, which is Juvenile Term to Age 18; Plan II. Juvenile Endowment to Age 16! and Plan III, Juvenile Twenty Payment Life. Details are found in special folders furnished to all lodges by the Main Office. In addition, juveniles insured in the SNPJ have other advantages. Where the local lodge is a live one, the educational forces of fraternallsm ere invalusble in training young minds. The Voice of Youth, our Society's juvenile magazine, is at the disposal of its juvenile members. Our Juvenile Circles are doing creditable work wherever the adult lodges have shown a genuine willingness to promote them. In short, the SNPJ has much to offer the prospective juvenile member—iu Insurance certificates are unequalled or unsurpassed by any other Institution; valuable fraternal features are an added inducement. These benefits, combined with the juvenile magazine and the prizes offered In Its contests, should prove effective in building any lodge's juvenile roster. During the next six weeks, then, let's enroll all insurable children and adultsl Little Fort News WAUKKUAN. ILL-There is a great event coming up soon! You have «|| probably heard about it.

All you Pioneers who can, should attend the Feb. 16 meeting. An up-to-date list of Pioneer ex-servicemen is being published In this month's Bulletin. Nearly two third* of the boys are now at home. One of the latest to be discharged was Eugene Skoff, a tall young fellow who was with the Air Corps. Joseph Smtarich too. Is released. His mother was buried recently.

It will be a real reunion with an excellent program and some of the best music. A program book will be issued. Ads will be solicited. If our present plans don't miscarry, we should have the biggest attendance we've ever had at any of our affairs at Pilsen Park on August 3rd.«-Subscrlption books for a small radio have been circulated in behalf of the district Conference of the Educational Bureau. J8F. The Pioneers have some of these books. Part of the proceeda will go for Jugoslav Relief. The cause is worthy of support because the Educational Bureau always promoted the best interests of the common people.— We sure enjoyed reading the latest issue of T St T, published by Louis Adamic. He asks a vary pertinent question, as to who repreaenta the United States in Southeastern Europe and then goes on to answer the question.' The Jugoslav decision "We have no need of the past," is another good article as are the rest of the articles ih this issue. Our numbers are urged to subscribe and become posted on what's going on in some of the inner circles of big RfcMlF* \ We listened to Dr. Neubauer intently last Friday night at the SNPJ Hall, lie related many interesting episodes from the struggle of the Jugoslav people to liberate themselves from the German. Italian and domestic enemy. The stories he told were sad but were performed by courageous people who now refuse to return to the conditions of the past as they were under the king. In this connection, many of our local newspapers have cerrled on an aggressive campaign against the Jugoslav Republic This, mind you. p Zalo-kar and Mrs. Zalokar. Both of them are recovering quite wel! from their accidents. In fact, Pop feels that he soon will be in shape to take on both Tony Kushlan and Frank Go-lob in bowling, spotting them twenty-five and beating them by ten pins. Other individuals contacted were Mrs. Heine Martin, the Shu-bers, Frank Ross, Merkuns, some of Whom are a-thinking about signing up. There may be others who you believe might be interested in joining the lodge. If so, let me know. Before I forget I might mention that the Scherbaks also had sonny Bill enrolled. General . When Louie Shuber brought his benefit report, he informed me that brother Joe was rushed to the hospital for appendectomy.—Ann and Bertha Erste both laid up with colds, ditto for Bill Scherbak.— Helping Joe Prijatel get his Store in shape were Tany Kerza aod Johnny Kerzisnik.—At Grdina alleys, the Korens and Beljans attempting to cop hlsh score In the head pin tournament. The first few balls MoQie threw went wide off the mark.— "Doc" Garbas, Spartan member, at Adolph's the night of our visit, looking many pounds lighter, since his return from the service.—Visited the Spiks and finally persuaded Kay and Max to break down and permit a view of their prize package. I'm sure if the youngster would have been in position to speak he'd say, "Say, pop and ma, have Joe sign me up for the juvenile group."—A wedding soon will be in the Debe-vec household; Emma, I believe, Is the happy girl. Her husband-to-be was receptive towards the idea of becoming a Comrade member. Sister Theresa is also growing up and soon will be transferring to the adult class.—Tis a boy, Alvin Krem-zar Informed me. Congratulations to mother and dad.

He is ^-footer, baldish and gray. He jaks English quite well, although S* has difficulty in; finding the nfht word to express his thought. On the whole, Dr. Simic made a jery good impression on me. gATURALLY most questions #ked concerned Jugoslavia and its lovernment. Simic said that the present Jupo-jlav government is a coalition government, in which seven different Mrties are represented. These parses range from the extreme right to the extreme left. ! Within three years, barring out-ode interference, Jugoslavia will be able to stand on her own feet, Simic declared. More than 60 per cent of the livestock of Jugoslavia was killed or taken by the Germans. Jugoslavia is not contemplating to ask for a loan from the United SUtes at this time; however, it did negotiate a loan from the Import-Export Bank. The people of Jugoslavia are enthusiastically cooperating in the reconstruction work, and they are as ready to defend their hard won freedom as they were united in defeating the enemy. WITH SIMCIC were also his wife and daughter. Mrs. Simic came to America last December from London. During the war she was in Russia and speaks Russian well, but aot English. She, too, like Stanoye, is very "domača" and charming, as , > their daughter Buka. Ute-comers were Zlktko Baloko-rich and Col Louis Huot, author of tkbook, "Guns for Tito." At this .f«nt, because the former American piy officer doesn't speak any of fte Jugoslav languages, and Mrs. Simic doesn't understand English, the entire group switched to French and 1 was at a complete loss. Fortunately, this did not last long and we reverted to Serbo-Croat and Slovene and English. In the evening I attended a mass noting at Sokol Chicago hall at which Dr. Simic spoke, also Dr. Slavko Zore and many others. And the evening before, I attended a mass noting at the SNPJ hall where Dr. Neubauer of the Jugoslav Red Cross addressed a sizeable audience most effectively. / On Sunday I listened to the Northwestern University Reviewing «and program on the Mutual net-J°dt. Zlatko Balokovich and Col. Huot were easily the victors in the oiscussion on whether there is dem-<*racy in Jugoslavia. Balokovich proved himself an eloquent defender of his statements, while Huot right there to substantiate with am y made an excellent team. ah in all it was a heavy weekend or me From the myriad impres-which I gathered, one thing ?nds °«t. and that is the ability, «**nty and simplicity of the Ju-J? , government officials and rep-»entativos I have met in recent 4% NEW MEMBERS ENROLLED IN JANUARY 76 Contestants on Honor Roll; 29 Lodges Have Attained Quotas ; Campaign Closes on March 31 A new record for the ESL 20TH ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN was set in January when a total of 498 members, including 301 juveniles, 108 new adults and 94 juvenile transfers, were enrolled into both departments of the Society.

You will find that at the very most only a month and about two weeks are left. That is hardly enough time to get big results, but if you get down to "business" right away and make up your mind to ask at least one friend, neighbor, acquaintance or fellow worker to join the SNPJ on each and every day remaining, you stand a mighty good chance of winning one of the TEN GRAND PRIZES (mileage and two per diem« to the 13th Regular Convention of the SNPJ at Eveleth, Minn., next August)—and if not ttyat, then surely epecfal and regular prises of which there will be many. But most important of all you will be doing your part to build •fraternalism for a more secure future, and that is something really worth working for, prizes or no prizes. Let's all pull together and climax the campaign with a record-breaking enrollment of new members.In February and March! Excluding transfers from the Juvenile Department, we need over 800 new members to reach the goal of 2,000 set for the campaign, Thia we are now almost certain will be accomplished. However, we should not be satisfied with merely reaching this goal, but it should be the a«m of every member in every lodge of the SNPJ to exceed it beyond our fondest hopet.

Pretty fair in-veatment, Isn't it? That Is what Bethlehem Stoel Co. paid for the bankrupt Wllllamsport Wire Rope Co. about a decade ago. This was revealed from a report of a House Judiciary Committee report on Albert W. Johnson, resigned Fed-oral judge of Central Pennsylvania. It was also disclosed that Beth-« ^ ».. w lehem Steel Petar Ellsh through their st- torney paid 8280,000 by agreement to ex-Judge Johnson for "expenses" for administrating the bankruptcy. Ex-Judge Johnson was pictured by the committee as "an evil, wicked, and irendacious judge,' who made "a mockery of Judicial honesty . . . and who was constant-y in a consctpracy." Hoyt A.

But what of the great steel corporation that so diligently promoted the whole scheme? Will It be In* dieted, for it is quite obvious that Bethlehem was the party that re-ceived the greatest benefit from thia travesty of justice? Or will their attorney take the responsibility?

I especially wsnted to meet Jennie Padar, manager of the Brooklyn Circle. We had corresponded, and Jennie invited us to stay with her family for our visit. Just to say the Padar fsmily is hospitable would be s gross understatement The entire fsmily co-operated to such an extent that we sew. heard, and experienced all thst New York had to offer, snd that is plenty. We were made to feel r ight st home, and to much a part of the family, that when we were ready to leave, we experienced the same emotion one does fsel upon leaving his or her own home. We were special quests st the meeting of the Brooklyn Circle, and it was one of the highlights of our visit. The meeting wss very well conducted, snd Jennie Psdar is to be complimented on the fine work she is doing with the group. The birthday party for s Circle member followed the meeting session, snd then we sttended the movies shown upstair*, snd which were for the benefit of raising funds for Relief purposes, Jennie snd myself hsd some excellent discussion* concerning our respective work with the Circle groups, snd we exchanged ideas snd suggestions.

Reading them all and com.ns to our own conclusions we gee it as s move by Big Business to try to bresk th? labor unions. All during the war the workers stayed at their job* and in very tew instances were there work stoppages. Most of them were bound to do thus, bound by the "Little Steel" formula and the no-strike pledge which wss forced upon thein in msny ease* by their leaders and which wss not always the will of the rank and file of the unions' members. Now the war is over, and most of the workers realize that the "Little Steel" forauils was in reality a guarantee for a 'Big Steal* by Industry. Certainly the workers did not get rich, during the war boom, but we read thst a new crop of millionaires grew out of the wsr, snd we know that those industrialists who were already in the millionaire class Increased their profits to an almost unbelievable figure. Yes, the worker* see these things and now they are striking. A lot of people, Including entirely too many farmers, cannot understand why. Most of these industrial workers are faced with a losa of 12 hour* in take-home pay, and we are all faced with st constant rise in the cost of living. It is really so outrageous what these worker* are asking—82 a day for the steel worker* snd a 30% raise by the auto worker*? No. In reality it is insdequste, even if they were to get it, which, of course, thfey won't It msy cover the los* in take-home psy, but will it make up for the big pay cut thst labor took during the war years because of the 18% limitation on wage increases—years during which the cost of living rose 43% according to one figure that we read? One wonders how it will all end. No doubt there will be some kind of snti-labor legislation passed by the present Congress. Only once wfes this writer ever active in a labor strike, but that one exprienes Wa* enough to teach us the workers' part in the clas* struggle, and th* Ttssons we learned then have itayfcd'with us ever since. Bsck in the ihlddle 30 * the IL-GWU wa* trying to orgsnize the worker* in s fsrtr.cnt factory in a small city near home. The Socialists from »urroUriding town* were few in numbers t>ut strong in spirit, decided we'd all pitch In snd help tho*e workers get their union, and we did—but ifVaan't' easy. The bdssc* in that tdwh'rtally put on a fight to keep tli* union out. But those gsrnrfent wbrker* were out to get something better than they'd had, and they kpt It. The fight wasled by a Methodist minister from our home town. Of course, the chllfch tould not tolerate thst their poacher active in a •trika. So out of the church went the preacher. His listener* had put up with hi* Socialism long enough, but that was this last straw. And out went several others of u* (voluntarily) who had been awakening gradually for a number of years. Time* have changed a lot since then. Two of our comrades who were active in that strike are dead now. And a* far aa we know not one Socialist is left in the old home town. How good that must make the upper crust fee!—no pesky rad-ical* around to bother their consciences. * * Naturally, when we resd of the present strike wave it bring* back fond memories—not all pleasant' ones to be sure, for the early 30'* were hard year* for moat of us.

Let us hope thst the workers who are at present on strike shsll not be moved, either, snd thst their union not be broken. And when the leglslstors come out with their anti-labor propositions—compulsory arbitration, factfinding boards snd "cooling off" periods which st first looked good, but which in the long run only de. lay. shackle, and destroy strike action—let us rtrdgnlfc them for whst they sre—an attempt to bresk the unions In the meantime the Prcaident has the War Powers Act enabling him to seUe the plants and use the Army to operate them For whom" The workers* Of course not.

The Editor of Prosvate sent the following tetter to the Daily Mows which carried it on Fab. 1 except foe the last 4 paragraphs.) I hsve been reading Mr. Leigh White's dispatches from Belgrade partly with amusement, but more with regret and anger. He has a splendid chance to really present the new Yugoslavia what actually is or i* trying to be. Instead he is grossly misrepresenting it to his readers, fciving vent primarily to his political bias. Objectivity or simple honesty there Is none in his dispatches. I make these statements because I am reasonably well informed ajyout, the past and present political and other developments in my native land. There undoubtedly arc many things in the new Yugoslavia, as in every land, which merit criticism. There, however, are also important and far-reaching political, focial, economic and cultural developments of grest significance. Any objective and politically honest reporter would try to appraise both, the good and bad, and try to present an unbiased picture to his reader*. Evidently Mr. White i* not in Yugoslavia for this purpose. In his dispatch of Jan. 24, based on half truth and fabrications, he pictures the Yugoslav republic as nothing but a straight jacket for its people, foisted upon them by the Communists, of course. In the last few months the Slovene psper* in this country have published literally hundreds of letters received by relative* from Yugoslavia. They give an entirely different picture of conditions there than Mr. White's dispatches. The veracity of these letters no one questions, not even the enemies of the Tito regime. These letters almost invariably praise the new government, not because they hfve to but because of their own inclinations and their joy about thsir new freedom and democracy. "Wc have more and far better democracy," writes a well known Slovene writer who, we know, is not < Communist, "than fever in the paat in these parts! Who hold* otherwise he is either intentionally lying or I* politically liprnature.'1 Yugoslavia, contrary to Mr. White's' biased reporting, is not ruled by the Communist party but by the Liberation Front which embraces slj parties, groups and element* which for 4 year* waged the most inspiring struggle against the invsder*, native traitors and Fascist collaborators. If the Communists, who hsve snd are playing an important role in Yugoslavia since the in-vssion, it is true, would try to usurp the power and rule by dictstorship, they would be swept sway by the masses of people who crave liberty, freedom and democracy which they now enjoy more fully than ever before. This, perhaps, 1* not true of their enemie*, the opponent* of ths new Yugoslavia, many of whom very openly the henchmen and butcher* of Hitler and Muasolini. Who would question this statement should read the letters from simple folks there to simple folks here which give de-tslled case histories on this score. In connection with Mr. White's bisscd dispstchcs it is important to remember thst Yugoslavia is about 80% rural, agrarian. Not a healthy climate for Communism among the peassnt folk* who by tradition shd inclination are democratic. It is true, as Mr. White reports, there are now people* committee* (narodni odbori) in every village. Historically, however, there committees snd villsge meetings "under the linden" sre nothing new. They sc-tuslly date back to the early history of Yugoslsvs snd used to form the basis of their village democracy. These committees were later forcibly suppressed by the conquerors; thereafter they became part of the historical folklore, a* is the Red School House from our Pioneer period, for exsmple. During the rccent greet struggle for liberation these village committee* spontaneously sprung into life from the people and have now become an organic part of the new Yugoslav republic. They augur well to become the most important units and agencies of the new Yugoslav peoples democracy. As to the block, p remet snd wsid leaders, or heelers, there is nothing new in Mr White's dispatch. He could observe them, s ilmilsr Democratic snd Republican aet-up. In every Chicago block, precinct and ward. Aa to which of these sets of ward heelers, here or in Yugoslavia, perform more "sinister" sctivities. is open to question ANTON GARDEN. Editor of Prosvets.
