Lanski avgust se je končal v Monako- vu—letošnji avgust se je končal v vojni. Monakovo je bil pred¬ igra krvavemu plesu, ki se danes predvaja na evropski pozornici. Ako bi bili državniki zapadnih demokracij lanskega avgusta pri vplji braniti češkoslovaško, je možno, da bi bil oboroženi konflikt odvrnjen. Monakovo je prepričalo Hitlerja, da so nje¬ govi živci nezlomljivi in da za- padne sile nimajo ne volje in ne poguma, da bi se mu drznile po¬ staviti po robu. Zato danes teče kri. Zgodovina beleži mnogo in različnih vojen. Ampak malo tako čudnih in skoro neverjet¬ nih vojen kot je ta. Nihče ni ma¬ ral vojne, celo Hitler ne. Hotel je samo Gdansk in kos Poljske— vsaj za enkrat. Njegov končni cilj je bil razkosanje britskega in angleškega imperija, toda brez vojne. Izgleda, da je bil uverjen, da svoj cilj doseže, ne sicer z enim mahom, temveč po¬ lagoma—da oba imperija pade¬ ta v njegovo naročje v malih ko¬ sih. Toda Hitler je bil očividno prav do konca pod vtisom, na¬ vzlic vročiničnemu oboroževa¬ nju, vojnim ukrepom in pa ras¬ toči fronti za ohranitev miru, da mu bo zopet mogoče izsiliti svo¬ je zahteve brez vojne. K samo¬ prevari mu je morda pomagal uspeh, ki ga je dosegel s pod¬ pisom nenapadalnega pakta s Sovjetsko unijo. Morda je bil zaveden po taktiki Anglije, ki je celo po invaziji v poljsko zem¬ ljo in po ponovnih svarilih, ki so imeli značaj ultimatuma, drža¬ la odprta vrata pogajanj, ki so lani vodila v Monakovo. Tako je Hitler ostal neprepričan in nespravljiv, dokler se končno vrata niso zaprla In se je pri¬ čela vojna.

Kar se tiče društvene aktivnosti v Milwaukee, se razvija v toliko kot je pod danimi razmerami mogoče pričakovati. Žal, da Milwaukee ni zastopan na letošnjem atletskem zboru. Upati je, da sedaj, ko je dobljena poslo.vnica v Pennsylvaniji, se bo začelo z delom, da se isto doseže v državi Wisconsin. Potem je pričakovati, da bo aktivnost za našo organizacijo v tej državi dosegla stopnjo, ki jo vsi želimo. — Poročilo br.

Frank Pucelj poroča: Preteklo polletje je bila doba, v kateri ni glavni porotni odsek prejel niti ene pritožbe, tako ne od strani društev kakor tudi ne od strani posameznih članov in članic. Prejel sem par vprašanj informativnega značaja, na katera sem odgovoril v zadovoljstvo prizadetih. Da mi je mogoče o tem poročati, gre zasluga v prvi vrsti razsodnosti članstva, in veliko tudi osobju, vposlenem v glavnem uradu, posebno še bolniškemu tajniku za razsodno tolmačenje pri gotovih slučajih izplačil. Iz tega je razvidno, da članstvo razume in upošteva pravila. V tem je dokaz, da ni take nezadovoljnosti pri SSPZ, kakor nam jo hočejo prikazati zunanji prijatelji. Poleg tega bi tudi mi lahko še kakšen drug rekord zapisali — povedali, da je SSPZ velikokrat tudi drugim na en ali drug način radodarna iri ne samo svojemu članstvu. Ker je zadnja seja naročila glavnim odbornikom, da naj vsak pregleda pravila, posebno še točke, ki se nanašajo na poslovanje njegovega urada, sem isto storil. Pronašel sem, da členi 23 do 28, tikajoč se porotnega odseka, popolnoma odgovarjajo in so vsestransko razumljivi, zato priporočam, da se jih uvrsti v nova (Dalje na 2. st,r) Hitler je mojsterski mešetar. Poslužil se je sleherne metode, poizkušal je zlepa in zgrda da bi dobil dominacijo nad svetom brez vojne. Vznemirjal je ne¬ mirno vest angleških demokra¬ tov in igral na račun strahu re¬ akcije pred revolucijo. Način svojega manevriranja je poljub¬ no menjal in se umikal, kadar je naletel na odpor. Zgradil je za¬ vezništvo — osišče Rim-Berlin- Tokio — ki je bila sijano sred¬ stvo za strategično manevrira¬ nje proti Londonu in Parizu. Delal je obljube, ki so bile laž in omamljal svoje nasprotnike vabljivimi izgledi za trajen mir in razoroženje. S temi me¬ todami je prodiral korak za ko¬ rakom in točko za točko svoje¬ ga programa. Njegove zahteve proti Poljaki so bile skromne, navidezno nepretirane, bilo jim je težko operekati in očividno ni¬ so bile vredne, da bi se zavoljo njih Evropa spremenila v člove¬ ško klavnico. Mar bodo narodi, ki so pristali na uničenje češ¬ koslovaške, šli v vojno radi Gdanska? Hitler je lahko upra¬ vičeno dvomil. Toda sistem, ki je tako imenit¬ no deloval skozi ves čas, odkar je Hitler nastopil svojo osvajal¬ no pot, je nenadoma odpovedal. Hladnokrvna destrukcija češko¬ slovaške, ki je sledila komaj pol leta potem, ko je nacijski firer slovesno izjavil, da ne mara “ni¬ ti enega samega Čeha” in da ne zahteva niti ene nadaljne pedi zemlje v Evropi, je prepričala državnike v Londonu in Parizu, kar je vedel sleherni preprost človek in kar je trdil pretežni del neodvisnega svetovnega ti¬ ska — da se s Hitlerjem ne da pametno gqvorit r i. Angleži in Francozi so končno spoznali, da se bodo morali najbrže boriti ali pa kapitulirati na celi črti. Tri- Angleško - francoska odloč¬ nost navzlic umiku, katerega je v kritičnem momentu napravila Moskva, dokazuje, da je instikt za samoohrano končno stopil v akcijo. Po vseh znamenjih so¬ deč, bo vojna dolga in trpka. An¬ glija je formalno naznanila, da se je treba pripraviti na kon¬ flikt, ki bo trajal najmanj tri leta. Razpoloženje, ki danes preveva London in Pariz, je, da vojne ne more biti konec, dokler ne bo Nemčija zdrobljena v prah. Ljudje so trpki, nobenega navdušenja ni za vojno, ampak na delu je jeklena odločnost, ki je zaloputnila vrata vsem iluzi¬ jam. Neki opazovalec piše iz Pariz: “Nihče ni verjel, da se bo zgo¬ dilo, kar se je, prav do zadnjega trenotka. NavadnV) ljudstvo je pričakovalo, da bo kak končni preokret odvrnil katastrofo. Od¬ ločnost bo rastla z rastjo sezna- nov mrtvih in ranjenih in ko strasti prepodijo zmernost, ki se je rodila v nadah, da bo o- hranjen mir. Včeraj sem se vo¬ zil skozi ulice Pariza in okoliš¬ kih mest. ženske so si grizle noh- tove in plakale. Moške so bili mrki in odločni, in pri nekaterih se je že opažala vzhičenost ha¬ zarderja, ki ugiba o svojih iz- gledih. ' » Isti opazovalec nadaljuje: “Ta vojna je nepobitna obsodba politike tolaženje. Monakovo ni ohranil miru v našem času; o- hranil ga ni niti za leto dni. Bor¬ ba za češkoslovaško bi bila pra¬ vičnejša in bi bila imela več za¬ veznikov. Rešitev Španije bi bi¬ la lažja kot pa je obramba Polj¬ ske in češkoslovaške in ako bi se bilo njo rešilo, bi bila obram¬ ba obeh najbrže nepotrebna. Ironično je, da ima Pariz danes lice Barcelone v letih 1936-39: iste modre luči ,temne ulice, za¬ vetja pred zračnimi napadi, po¬ vsod vreče napolnjene s peskom. Včeraj so bile umetnine iz špan¬ skega narodnega muzeja Prado, katere so lojalisti skrbno varo¬ vali in poslali v Ženevo, naložene na tovorne avtomobile in bili od¬ peljane iz Francije v Madrid. Istočasno se prazni Louvreški muzej. Mednarodni brigadirji, ki so se borili za Francijo v ma¬ dridskih predmestjih in ob reki Ebro, se zopet vpisujejo kot pro¬ stovoljci za boj proti Nemčiji, čeli so se torej brez odlašanja to pot v vrstah francoske arma- pripravljati na vojno. Ko je de. V malo tolažbo je človeku, prišla zahteva za Gdansk, so bili da je že pred tremi usodnimi le- torej pripravljeni. j ti vse to pisal in predvideval ...” STRAN 2. “NAPREDEK” 13. septembra sejah ter na razpolago glede vprašanj, glede katerih bi se želelo mojega pojasnila. — Bratsko predloženo: Dr. F.

ZAPISNIK POLLETNE SEJE GLAVNE GA ODBORA vršeče se 3L avgusta in 1. in 2. septembra, 1939 (Dalje s 1. str.) pravila taki kot so. V splošnem so naša pravila precej popolna. So sem pa tja kaki nedostatki, ker pa ima gl. upravni odbor glede tega več upogleda, lahko računamo, da bodo nedostatki na prihodnji konvenciji popravljeni. Kar se tiče aktivnosti v Clevelandu in njega okolici, je po- voljna. Posebno med mladino je veliko zanimanje; poleg športa so se začeli zanimati tudi za zavarovalninsko stran, kar je najbolj razveseljivo za Zvezo. Koliko sem bil sam kot tak aktiven? Ne bom našteval. Veli¬ ko je takozvanega nevidnega dela in kolikor so mi čas in raz¬ mere dopuščale, sem delal za ugled in korist Slovenske svobodo¬ miselne podporne zveze. Br. Medved vprašuje, kako je prišla Zveza v posest delnic, ki so navedene v finančnem poročilu. Br. Kuhel pojasnjuje, da je bila Zveza prisiljena sprejeti delnice, ko so razna podjetja kate¬ rih honde je lastovala Zveza, šla v konkurz in so bila pozneje reorganizirana. V mnogih ta,kih slučajih se je za del bondnih obveznosti izdalo delnice. Mnoge delnice, ki smo jih dobili na ta NUMBER 163 na -čin, imajo znatno tržno vrednost, dasiravno jih država ne priznava kot legalno imovino. Kadar bo trg ugoden, da jih bo vnovčilo in denar investiralo v honde, ki so legalna investicija za bratske organizacije. Br. Pucelj izjavlja, da hiša v Clevelandu, katera pride v kratkem v Zvezino posest, bi donašala več dohodkov, ako bi se jo predelalo, tako da bi imela dvoje stanovanj, čim se to izvrši, naj bi se jo prodalo. Istega mnenja, namreč da se hišo za silo popravi in proda, sta tudi brata Kuhel in Pugel. Pucel omenja, da je neka druga organizacija prodala vse hiše, katere je lašto- vala v Clevelandu. Posestva, ki pridejo v posest potom iztoženja radi neplačevanja na vknjižbo morda donašajo lepe dohodke za nekaj let, ampak kot investicija preko daljše dobe se ne obnesejo. Sklenjeno je, da se ta in druge slične slučaje prepusti razsod¬ nosti gl. upravnega pododseka. Br. Rus izjavlja, da je resnica kot je že poročal br. Kuhel, da je težko dobiti dobre zemljiške vknjižbe za investicijo naše imovine. Danes banke posojujejo na posestva po 5%, toda raču¬ najo provizijo. Br. Lisch vprašuje, da-li so hipoteke dobra in¬ vesticija. Ali smo na takih investicijah v preteklosti izgubili denar ? / Br. Kuhel pravi, da je na to vprašanje težko podati točen odgovor. Naša neprilika s hipotekami v preteklosti je bila v poglavitnem v tem, da se je posestva previsoko ocenjevalo. Toda naj se ravna v tej zadevi. Razvije se daljša razprava, posežejo vsi navzoči odborniki. Končno je spreje s ~ ep, ^ glavni upravni pododsek dožene pravice unije v tej za potem ravna po svoji previdnosti. e Br. Candon želi pojasnila glede stališča, ki naj se za v slučaju stavk, v katere so zapleteni člani organizacije, ■razprava, tekom katere pridejo na dan razne zapletenos se pojavljajo v današnjih razmerah tekom industrijskim spor Zaključeno je, da organizacija v smislu naših pravi nima takimi zadevami nobenega opravka. t F Br. Rus opozarja na poročilo br. Vrhovnika, da je r. Kern iz Clevelanda, bivši vrhovni zdravnik SSPZ, podaril orga¬ nizaciji film, ki je bil posnet na konvenciji leta 1929, ki se je vršila v Indianapolisu. Sklenjeno je, da se dr. Kernu za ar iz roče pismena zahvala. Br. Rus je mnenja, da naj bi seja kaj definitivnega u irem a glede poslovnice v državi Wisconsin. Razvije se razprava, v ka¬ tero posežejo vsi odborniki. Opozarja se, da je Zveza svoj čas ze podvzela korake v tej zadevi in da je bilo z naše strani sugestira- no, da bi se samo za člane v Wisconsin upeljalo takozvano Man chester lestvico za bolniško podporo, katero predvideva zakon omenjene države za bratske organizacije, toda država Wiscon- sin je takrat odgovorila, da mora biti sistem poslovanja za vse člane organizacije isti. Br. Rus ie mnenja, da z ozirom na to, da je naš bolniški sklad sedaj solventen, bi država Wisconsm utegnila našo prošnjo za poslovnico upoštevati. Seveda, v zvezi s tem bodo zopet znatni stroški. Br. Kvartich izjavlja, da bi naj se najprej proučilo položaj in dognalo, ako bi se izplačalo iti v nove stroške, potem šele naj bi se stopilo v akcijo. Br. Vrhovnik pravi, da ako je v Wisconsinu prilika, da se pridobi znatno število novega članstva, naj se na¬ pravi poizkus, brez ozira na stroške. Br. Maren se je v zadnjih letih mnogo trudil za dvig'organizacije v Wisconsinu. Potrebno je, da pokažemo dobro voljo in storimo pač, kolikor moremo. V istem smislu se izraža br.

Br. Lisch izraža mnenje, da bi se problem razlage filmov rešilo na ta način, ako bi se za filme iz Slovenije nabavilo zvočni trak oziroma spremljavo. Neka druga organizacija ima tako napravo in je uspešna. To ne bi stalo mnogo denarja. Sledi raz¬ prava. Br. Vrhovnik predlaga, da se gl. upravnemu pododseku po- I veri polno moč, da ukrene o tem problemu, kar se mu zdi potreb¬ no in primerno. Br. Zaitz izjavlja, da naj bi ta seja vsaj določila, i ali se bo nove filme iz Slovenije, katere je slikar Božidar to poletje jemal za nas, ki pa še niso dospeli, kazalo v javnosti pred konvencijo prihodnjega maja, ali se jih bo prvič predvajalo v zvezi s konvencijo. Sklenjeno je, da ima upravni pododsek polno moč, da po I svoji previdnosti ukrepa o vseh vprašanjih, tikajočih se kazanja filmov. Br. Kuhel poroča, da se je v glavnem uradu oglasil zastopnik da bi imeli takozvane “field workerje, glasi, da vsak član ali članica v mesecu septembru ali oktobru poleg svojega asesmenta oz - potovalne zastopnike._ c „ __ Br.

PROGRESS Fraternalism in Action The SSPZ paid to its members $4,000,000 in benefits since organization. “NAPREDEK” After the National Athletic Meet “Spartan Gals” M. Vrhovnik Ali is quiet on the SSPZ national softball field and balina court once more. Peace has been declared, ternporarily, and new champions have been recognized and appropriately rewarded. For nearly three days, teams from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana engaged each other in many interesting games beforp final decisions were reached. In each division, a new Champion was crowned as none of the 1938 title-holders was able to repeat. A great Spartan team, led by captain Adolph Jalen and manager Ray Allberg, regained the softball toga after a lapse of five years, defeat- ing the Utopians (defending champs), Hoosier Pals and the Pro- gressors by decisive margins, leaving little doubt in the minds of the spectators or their opponents of their superiority . .. The Hoosier Pals, who gave a very good account of themselves ali through the Meet, won the runners-up trophy... In the Junior Division, the Indianapolis Jugoslavs, composed mostly of juve- nile giants and practically the same team that finished second in the 1938 Meet at Bridgeville, emerged victorious from ali three encounters by one-sided scores, taking the measure of the Sygan Juniors, who had to be satisfied with second honors, and the Chicago Trail Blazers. Here, there is no question of class, for these Indianapolis boys have the pitchers, good fielders and •splendid teamwork and špirit... In the balina events, the Cleve¬ land United Lodges team floundered badly against an under- rated Danica Lodge team from Indianapolis, losing in the finals without a third game being necessary, while the Složne Sestre team, who were expected to sweep thru the women’s division with little opposition, met their “Waterloo” at the hands of the Spar- tan No. 2 team, two games out of three ... And so ended the 1939 SSPZ National Athletic Meet, with Adolph Jalen accepting the Senior Championship trophy for the Spartans, Martin Dragan the Junior Championship trophy for the Jugoslavs, Alex “Slim” Todor and Frank Dolinar the runners-up awards for their res- pective teams, and Steve Škorjanc the balina trophy for the Danica Lodge, while the trophy for the women’s balina cham¬ pionship will be shipped to the Spartan team when ready. CON- GRATULATIONS to you ali, vvinners and losers, for a grand Meet! May we have the pleasure of meeting and greeting you at the National Bowling Tournament as well as the Athletic Meet in 1940. The HOOSIER PALS NATIONAL MEET COMMITTEE, made up of August Semenick, Sophie Turk, John Pešut, Louis Loviscek, Frank Berkopes and Steve Škorjanc, who toiled and planned for weeks to make this Meet a great success, were decorated with appreciative thanks and compliments from ali sides during the banquet and since. They and their army of workers, among whom were Zoro Semenick, Philipp Bayt, Sophie Krapes, Milo Semenick, Mary Robas, Adolph Madley, Joe Push- ner, Alex Todor, Dorothy Semenick, Mr. and Mrs. Ivančič and a host of others, including the cooks, waitresses and those who furnished quarters and meals for the visitors deserve highest praise for their HOSPITALITY, FRIENDLINESS, MANAGE¬ MENT and SERVICE. Anyone seeing the happy reception given the Cleveland delegation of players and rooters on their arrival at the Indianapolis Union Station with a police escort leading the way to the headquarters, and then, the send-off at the train to the tunes of accordion mušic and song in Slovene (And what a time was had trying to keep some of the Spartan boys on the train), could not possibly mistake this for anything but sincere fratemal greetings and farevvells ... And after the train left for Cleveland, the Hoosier Pals, numbering close to twenty and several visitbrs who remained behind, marched back through the station stili singing to mušic of the accordion. The station attendants, clerks, ticket buyers and friends waiting to see them off or waiting for someone to arrive, looked on smiling approval. Yes, it was a grand welcome and a grand send-off, Hoosier Pals! You did your work well and I’m sure everyone thanks and cori- gratulates you cn a job very well done! S H O R T S The YOUTH CONFERENCE was not as well attended this year as in former years; nor did it start on scheduled time, being moved up several hours because of conflicting sports events ... Accordjng to recommendation made at the Conference, next year’s National Meet shall be open only to district champions, the number of districts having been increased from three to four... Cities suggested for the National Bowling Tournament are Detroit and Chicago-For the National Athletic Meet in 1940, Collinvvood and Milwaukee ... Publicity pertaining to the Society’s events has fallen off much too much in recent weeks — The ESL pa ge needs brightening and new life and color ...

THOMAS “SERGEANT” NAUMSEK went out of his way to do a young lad from Cleveland a real favor... Famous -words from team captains at banquet: “The best team won,” came from ALEX TODOR of the Hoosier Pals... “A team is only as strong as its substitutes,” said ADOLPH JALEN as he com- plimented each player on the Spartan team, regulars and subs ... “We couldn’t win it two years in a row, so we let the Jugoslavs (Continued on page 3) CLEVELAND, O. — “Don’t be left behind the eight bali!” Sign up early for the SSPZ Ladies Bowling League. The United Lodges of Cleveland are about to open their second year of competition in kegling. Un- like last year a separate section will be organized for the fair sex. Here is an opportunity girls to take off that excess weight accumulated during the lazy summer months for some of you and to improve the shapely fig- ures of others. Undoubtedly, last year with- out elaboration, the United Lod ges have done more to bring about greater fraternalism of lodges and their respective member s of our zealous city than any one endeavor of many years. This created enthusiasm for bowling among others who had not the advantage for one reason or another to be fortu- nate enough to participate last year. This is why this year we invite ali Spartan ladies to take part by either forming teams of their own immediate friends or to present themselves ready to play with any or ali comers. In order to formulate teams and organize properly, ali girls who are interested in bowling from either the angle of sports or sociability are. invited to at¬ tend the Spartan meeting this coming Sunday at the Slovene National Home. The success of this ladies’ league depends par- ticularly upon you so let us see is there isn’t a possibility of tripping our last year’s team entry. The more the merrier! ATTENTION CLEVE¬ LAND BOWLERS The United Lodges Bowl- ing League will open its second season Sunday, Sep¬ tember 24 at 1 p.m. at the new recreation parlor in the Slovene Workmen’s Home, Waterloo Road. Be¬ fore the season gets under way there remain a few kinks that will have to be ironed out in order to have the league operate smooth- iy. So with this in mind, ali the bowlers are requested to attend the bowling league meeting which will be held Thursday evening, September 16 in old bldg. S.N.H. at 8 p.m. So ali you bowlers young and old at¬ tend this meeting and help us and the SSPZ Bowling League with your ideas and suggestions. John J.

The Spartans, lacking almost everything they displayed in previous games, were a fairly easy mark for the Collinvvood crew. In the opening inning, with men on second and first base and no outs, the Spartans failed to get a man to third safely. However they were a little more fortunate in the sec¬ ond frame and managed to bring in two men to take a 2-0 lead.
