obravnava proti nemškemu generalu v rimu
Masni umori poljskih in ruskih delavcev razkriti
HESS PRIPELJAN V NUERNBERG
Rim. 9. okt.—Kopija Hitlerje-je odredbe, datirana v oktobru 1. 1942, da morajo biti vsi zavezniški "kornandoti" in saboterji, čeprav nosijo uniforme, ustreljeni brez zasliianja, je bila predložena ameriški vojaški komisiji, ki je odprla obravnavo proti nemškemu generalu Antonu Do-stlerju. Obravnava se vrši v rimski justični palači.
Dostler, ki je bil poveljnik nemške brigada v teku bojev v Italiji, je prvi prišel pred ameriško vojaško komisijo kot vojni zločinec. Al^o bo spoznan za krivega, bo postavljen ob zid in ustreljen. Obtožnica mu očita, da je dal ustreliti trinajst voja kov pete ameriške armade v Punta Bianci, italijanskem mestu v bližini La Spezije, 26. mar ca 1. 1944. Ti so bili ujeti, ko so nameravali razdajati železniški tunel.
Zagovornik nemškega genera la je ameriški polkovnik Claudius Wolfe. On je argumentiral, da v smislu provizij ženevske konvencije morajo priti vojni zločinci pred vojijo sodišče, ne pred vojaško komisijo.

Svetovna kontrola atomske bombe
Znanstveniki podprli Trumanov predlog
Chlcago. 9. okt.—Člani ekse-kutivnega odbora pravkar ustanovljene organizacije znanstvenikov so se izrekli za svetovno kontrolo atomske bombe. Izjavili so, da v prihodnjih letih bo dovolj atomskih bomb v skoro vseh državah, da lahko povzroče svetovno katastrofo.
Člani eksekutivnega odbora trdijo, da organizacija predstavlja 95 odstotkov civilnih znanstvenikov, ki so sodelovali pri razvoju atomske bombe na či-kaški univerzi. Podprli so predlog predsednika Trumana, da pride atomska bomba pod mednarodno kontrolo.
"Bodočnost atomske sile je tako važna, da ne sme postati strankarski problem," so izjavili znanstveniki. "Ameriško ljudstvo brez razlike naj podpira Trumana v naporih, da pride atomska bomba pod mednarodno kontrolo. Važno vprašanje ni, ali naj Amerika obdrži taj nosti atomske sile, temveč se mora zavedati, da bo v nekaj letih radostno Število atomskih bomb v državah in da lahko po vzročijo svetovno katastrofo."
Znanstveniki so izjavili, da ie ni obrambe proti atomski bombi kot taki, temveč le proti nosilcu bombe. Nosilce bombe se lahko uniči. Atomska bomba pomeni revizijo vojaških taktik. Govorice o potrebi letalskih ln mornaričnih baz so nesmiselne. Sprostitev atomsko energije lahko služi človeštvu, ča bo prišla pod mednarodno kontrolo.

Poročilo predsednika
Bratje in sestre odborniki: Kot vam je znano, smo zad-
seni pisai po informacij na dotični urad, obrnil sem se tudi do drugih izku-njič zborovali 9. marca t. I., karjšenih in zaupanja vrednih oseb je že precej dolgo od tega, in I ** nasvet, in od vseh strani so če bi netjilo drugega, bi se že| samo dobra priporočila, zakar zaradi tega morali kmalu zopet j vam bom lahko predložil pisme-I, ki smo'ne dokaze, ki jih imam seboj.
se nam Je vsem in v principu smo jo takoj odobrili, zaeno pa sklenili, da še najprej poizvedujemo «n dobimo več podrobnosti, in ako bodo ugodne, se skliče seja celega odbora, da o tem nadalje razpravlja in sklepa.
Največ radi tega—bratje in ...	, . ..

sestati, ker odgovornost jo dali slovenskemu narodu, ko smo prevzeli svoja odborniška mesta, zahteva akcijo. Medtem pa so se tud« splošne razmere tako razvile, da je materialna pomoč stari domovini, radi cesar smo organizirani v JPO-SS, ne samo mogoča, temveč jo naši trpeči bratje in sestre tamkaj tudi že težko pričakujejo.
Minilo je že precej časa, kar se je naša stara domovina osvobodila in želja nas vseh—vsakega dobrega slovenskega rojaka—gotovo je, da bi jI pomagali z raznimi potrebščinami in takoj, zavedujoč se, da strašno primanjkuje vsega in da hitra pomoč največ zaleže. Mi smo to tudi poskušali. Skrbno smo medtem zasledovali razvoj razmer in poskušali ustanoviti potrebne stike za dostavo naše pomoči tistim in tako kot smo si ob ustanovitvi JPO-SS zamislili in začrtali v svoj program. To pa ni bilo mogoče takoj po osvoboditvi in še dolgo po prenehanju sovražnosti ne. Zapreke so bile s prevozom po morju in vsled razdejanih železnic m cest tudi po suhem ter so več aH manj še sedaj, dasi je on-dotno ljudstvo pridno na delu s popravljanjem cest in mostov in ci jugoslovanska vlada na vse pretege prizadeva, da spravi vse to v pravi tir čim prej mogoče. Manjka pa Jim potrebnega orodja in materiala ter drugih takih reči, zlasti železa, ker jim je sovražnik vm* pokradel ali drugače uničil.
Poslednje čase pa smo dozna» h za nekaj, s čim mislimo, da se bo dulo prav uspešno premagati vse take potežkoče in zapreke. Kot že znano, je štiriletno bojevanje z najstrašnejšim sovražnikom ter večno stia-danje, zmrzovanje 111 silno trpljenje našega ljudstvo v starem kraju zapustilo tudi veliko bolezni, zlasti jetike. Kakor je juzvidno iz poročil zavezniških strokovnjakov, je večina mladih ljudi okuženih s to boleznijo. Menda ni nobene hiše, da Iti ne bil kdo jetičen in to dela oblastem, pa tudi zavezniškim zdravniškim izvedencem silno skrbi. Potrebna je torej posebna in skrbno organizirana akciji« / modernimi inštrumenti in tltugimi tehničnimi pripravami m pripomočki za zatiranje jrti-čne bolezni, in ameriški Slovenci lahko pn tem veliko pomagamo.
Kot vam j<* več ali manj že znano, se UNKRA, oziroma komisija te ameriške organizacij« za rehabilitacijo po vojni uti;-pelih deM žc lesno bavt s tem problemom v Jugoslaviji Tu kaj oa je skupina zdravniških strokovnjakov na pobudo od eksekutive Združenega odbots Amerikanccv jugoslovanskega potekla že tudi izdelala nekak ajiaJittčni program za kontrol« tuberkuloze v starem kraju, k« teiegrt kopijo aem prejel tudi jaz kot ptedaednik vaše organizacije

Jaz mislim, da boste po prečitanju predloženega programa istega mnenja tudi vsi ostali odborniki. Načrt predvideva veliko in plemenito delo, ki bo trajnega pomena in jaz si ne morem predstavljati bolj idealne stvari za investiranje po JPO-SS zbranega denarja, kot če ga obrnemo v to svrho. S tem bomo odpomogli eni največjih potreb v starem kraju, kajti brez zdravega naroda ne more biti blagostanja ne srečne bodočnosti za staro domovino.
Tako smo obrnili zbrani sklad za potrebo in v korist vseh e-nako in z nobene strani se nam ne bo moglo upravičeno očitati, da smo delali po prijateljsko ali
AU TRPITE
v pismu so, "Robi je v Evropi z ameriško." Saj veš, kako nas vsak drobec novic zanima.
Vem, da tudi Vas zanima naša izkrvavljena domovina. Težka in žalostna je povest našega trpinčenega naroda. A naša srca so otrdela in reševala nas je zavest, da nismo iz takega testa, da bi klonili ob nedokončanih obračunih. Naš borbeni duh ni omahnil, šel je preko muče-niških, izmaličenih trupel naših najboljših sinov in hčera, mimo požganih vasi in trpljenja nas vseh, ki smo se borili na strani zatiranih.
A, Mici moja ljuba, prišlo je! Prišlo je preko noči. Zbudili smo se in Ljubljana je bil en sam cvet, ena sama pesem, preljuba slovenska pesem, ki ni smela preko naših ust dolga, strašna štiri leta. Deveti maj je največji dan zgodovine našega naroda.
Nobeno srce ni moglo zajeti

Kajti jetika ne tega velikega dne, sonce ga je pozna razlike 1n pobira svoje pozlatilo, yelikanski vihar sreče žrtve med rdečimi prav tako kot Tuši vse fcre#raje, osvaja vsa med črnimi in belimi ali kar- srca. Res, Mici, sedaj sem pre-koli že se zovejo. Potrebno je pričana, da sem poznala doslej predvsem, da narod živi in da besedo "svoboda" samd na pa-je zdrav, predno more uživati, pirju in ustnicah. Kaj se pravi hrano in nositi obleko, katero občutiti jo v srcu, to se ne da bi mu lahko poslali namesto zdravil. In na ta način bomo tudi najlažje izpolnjevali ob u-stanovitvi JPO dane obljube, ter nabolj točno izvajali svoj program in vse, kar smo tako svečano povedali v svoji izjavi na ustanovni seji. S tem bo naša pomoč največ zalegla in to bo ostalo kot trajen spomin a-meriškim Slovencem.
Kot že povedano, je ta program pametno in dobro zamišljen ter praktično izvedljiv. V cidpomoč bo eni največjih potreb in največje važnosti nove Slovenije; zaeno pa je idealna zamisel, katero mi lahko brez odlašanja sprejmemo in zaključimo, da bo ideja kmalu posta-la tudi "meso in kri," in jaz toplo priporočam, da na tej seji zaključimo, da se to izvede.
Vincent Cainkar.
Stavljen, podpiran in sprejet je predlog, da se poročilo predsednika sprejme.

popisati, to je treba samo občutiti. Vem, da mi verjameš, da je bil deveti maj največji praznik v mojem.življenju.
Nisem Ti še povedala, da smo že leto in pol v Ljubljani, seveda kot izgnanci po tujih krvnikih in domačih izdajalskih izkoreninjencih. Kakor Ti je gotovo znano, so leta 1941 zasedli Novo mesto Italijani. Eno leto je bilo še kar znosno, čeprav nas je dušila zavest, da stojimo visoko nad temi bedni mi kreaturami, a se nismo mo gli sprostiti svojih občutkov za ničevanja.
Pri nas se je začelo že 21. ju nija; na dan vojne napovedi Sovjetski Rusiji smo imeli pri nas prvo hišno preiskavo. Zato sva postala oba z možem bolj previdna. Proti zimi so se že pričele tajne priprave za odhod naših hrabrih fantov v gozdove v znak protesta proti bednim

Začetek 1942 je bil že over-tura v vsa poznejša besnila, ki so divjala v letih obupa, ko nas, je dan za dnem tlačila mora nasilja, bede in žalosti.
Prve dni marca so začeli zapirati vso levičarsko usmerjeno inteligenco, seveda največ mladine, zato so dali ti meseci na-, šim gozdovom največ partizanov. V Ljubljani so jih odgna-! i na tisoče v taborišča. Na dan 23. marca je bil pogreb mojet jube, nepozabne matere, in prav ta de n so izbrali za are-, tacijo mojega moža, potem pa so vendar sprevideli, da je to, preveč za njihovo 2000-letnc culturo in so ga izpustili. Taco se mu je posrečilo ostati še nekaj mesecev doma.
Zadnje dni meseca marca so zaprli našega Metoda. Kakor mi je bilo neizmerno hudo za mamo, sem bila srečna, da ni, doživela tega dne, vsaj je revi-ca doživeta1 "vso Golgoto dobre, skrbne in vedno na žrtve pripravljene .slovenske matere.

Izgnanci so spali v šotorih na goli zemlji in dobivali dvakrat na dan vodo «(kakimi bučnimi ali zeljnimi olupki. Tam je bilo veliko Novomeščanov, med njimi tudi dr. Vasič (starosta novomeškega Sokola), Otmar Skale (sin poznanega novomeškega veterinarja), ing. Medic in dru-«i.
Omenjeni niso bili levičarji, temveč poznani novomeški liberalci, toda pojentarski junaki so se bali inteligence v splošnem. Na Rabu so izbruhnile nalezljive bolezni, kajti morja ali vode|" sploh videli niso. Liter vode je stal 60 lir, če si jo sploh dobil.

NADALJEVANJE RAZPRAVE O VOLITVI DELEGATOV pO OKROŽJIH
Cleveland. O.—Čitali smo pri poročila volitev delegatov po o-krožjih ali distriktih, kakor na-zivajo nekateri. Nismo pa še čitali, kakšni naj bodo ti okraji Vzemimo za primero mesto Cleveland. To je distrikt Cuyahoga; ali če izpustimo okraj in naj se imenuje samo mesto Cleveland okraj? Tukaj imamo 28 društev in če priklopimo še Euclid, O., ki je predmestje Clevelanda, dodamo še tri društva.
Moje številke niso natančne Za celokupno članstvo sem vze
podlago 45,000, dočim nas jc po zadnjem poročilu 48,109. Ir prav tako moram vzeti le šte vilko 6.000 za skupno članstvi Clevelanda. Toliko ali mordi več nas je v Clevelandu.
Torej, ako bi bil en okra. mesto Cleveland in povrhu št naši sosedje v Euclidu, bi mo rali najeti mestni avditorij, d; bi lahko volili z našimi šest ti soči. In če bi imeli od vsakeg; društva deset kandidatov, bi jil imeli na listi nič manj kot 310 ln teh 310 kandidatov bi lahk< imeli kar svojo konvencijo!
Ako bi imeli prav tak sisten volitev kakor sedaj, bi bili de ležni le do dvanajsti!} kandida tov. Če bi se jih priglasilo ste ali več, bi morali pričeti prec osmo zjutraj in končali bi men da šele enkrat po šestih zvečer Seveda, dnevnic ne bi imeli Kje bi pa jedli? Menda bi mo rali s seboj vzeti naše izborne kuharice. Da boste razumeli. Priporočilo je, da bi po novem sistemu izvolili na vsakih 500 članov samo enega delegata Skupno članstvo bi lahko izvolilo 96 delegatov, ako bi imelo v volilnem mesecu plačan ases-nent vseh 48,000 članov. Če v, se bi lahko zgodilo, da bi jflavni tajnik ovrgel «"Volitve-Sedaj se namreč voli po društvih in vedite, da imate vi lahko 130 članov in če jih je med njimi 31 suspendiranih, vi nimate pravice, da pošljete delegata na konvencijo, ker če bi ga. se bi lahko zgodilo, kakor se je že večkrat, da bi bil poslan domov. Kdor mi tega ne verjame, naj se informira v zapis- j nikih in bo verjel.
Torej, prej ko pridete s predlogi za spremembo, to je za volitve po okrožih, morate priti na dan tudi z novo točko volitve delegatov po okrožjih. Članstvo naj ve, prav tako kot izvoljeni delegati, in čas boste skrajšali z vašimi priporočili. Naj li vsako društvo voli na svoji seji, ali morajo vsi volilci priti skupaj na tako zvano volilno sejo? V primeru, da ne bi nobeden dobil nadpolovično število glasov, kako so bo ponavljalo? Ali naj odloča navadna večina glasov in bašta? Kam pa bodo šli oni ¿'lani, ki imajo morda samo eno društvo v okraju ali pa državi? Nebraska, Nevada, Alabama, Floiida, Kentucky, Maryland Virginia in Washington, D. C. imajo lc po eno društvo. Drsava Missouri ima tri v St.
uisu, nekaj držav pa po dva. In če ni vseh skupaj 500 članov? e
•V verjamem, da bi imel zmo-i!an malega društva boljše pnlike biti izvoljen po okrožju. T ; k istem imamo pri naši uni-J' m naj le poskusi kateri od manjše remize biti delegat! Če ',0(< biti izvoljen, se moraš 'družit, z veliko kliko, ki po-u'rn skupno nastopa. Ako ne Jpaoiu k njej, potem ne moreš »/voljen. Naj se voli ka-*'>» hiH-e, veliki z mnogimi dru-
''Ii{ rni ¿lani bodo zmagovalci.

"najo sposobnosti ali pa
da so bili do sedaj vsi i delegati brez pomena, iso oglasili na konven-važnejša točka na ' 'J*h *o volitve in tam odločati. In ne samo 'tvah, temveč tudi pri 'Jo o tesolucijah, pravi-!u«ih zadevah, ki pride-lasovsnje.
precej članov, ki so ¿c na treh konven
cijah, toda so malo govorili, kadar pa je bilo potrebno glasovati za koristne stvari, so odločali. Na drugi strani pa bi o ( nekaterih mislili, da stvar razumejo, ko pa je prišlo do glasovanja, pa se je izkazalo, da niso. Če bi razumeli, ne bi sedaj imeli tožbe v Pennsylvani-ji. Mnogi od teh so tajniki društev. In če ni tajnik dober delegat, kdo pa je? Razumeti moramo, da se ne shaja sama slaba družba, katera ima najvišjo oblast na SNPJ.
Ker šteje naša jednota danes 48,000 v odraslem oddelku in nekateri žele, da bi volili na vsakih 500 članov eniga delegata, jih bi izvolili 96, glavnih odbornikov pa je 31. Zdravnika bo morda v bodoče zopet imenoval glavni odbor, namesto da bi ga volili na konvenciji, kar je bolj praktično. Torej skupno število zastopnikov na konvenciji bi znašalo 126, kar bi pomenilo, da bi bili skoro trije delegati na vsakega glavnega odbornika. To število se mi vidi premajhno, ako bi dobili po okrožnih volitvah 96 delegatov.
Ako bi jih razdelili na vsak tisoč štiri, ali enega na vsakih 250 članov, bi znašalo na podlagi 48,000 članov 192 delegatov. Ce temu številu dodamo še 30 glavnih odbornikov, bi imeli 222 odgovornih konvenčnih funkcionarjev. In če razdelimo 48,000 na dvesto, ki si naj izvolijo e-nega delegata, bi posetilo konvencijo 240 delegatov in 30 glavnih odbornikov, kar bi skupaj znašalo 270 delegatov in glavnih odbornikov.
Torej, kaj naj storimo? Kakor sami hočete. Po mojem mnenju bi bilo najbolj praktično, zvišati število članov pri društvih, in sicer enega delegata na dvesto dobro stoječih članov, namesto enega na sto članov. Samo društva, ki imajo nad štiri sto članov, naj bi bila opravičena do dveh delegatov. Nobeno društvo pa ne bi smelo izvoliti več kot dva delegata. Ta problem bi bil zaenkrat ra-šen.
Društva, ki imajo manj kot dvesto članov, se naj bi združila v svrho izvolitve delegata, društva pa bi moral izvršiti iz-vrševalni odsek. Nekatera društva, med njimi tudi v Clevelandu, bi se lahko združilo za stalno, kar bi pomenilo zanje manj stroškov in dela.
Sistem volitev delegatov pri združevanju bi morali spremeniti, kajti prejšnji sistem združenja prikazuje, da je izboljšanje potrebno. Zapisnik 12. redne konvencije priča, da je bil nered na društvenih sejah radi neznanja, mržnje in nevoščlji-vosti. Za vsa združena društva se bi moral čas spremeniti z dveh mesecev na tri. V prvem mesecu naj bi vsako društvo, ki bi se združilo, postavilo svojegs kandidata. V drugem mesecu bi bile volitve skupnih kandidatov, zadnji mesec pa volitve in popravki, kjer bi bili potrebni.
Pri volitvah je marsikje potrebno nadzorstvo. Nekateri člani opazijo nepravilnosti, sli jih ne naznanijo na pravem mestu. Povedo pa tam, kjer ni potrebno in pozneje se lahko zgodi, ds je za popravek prepozno. Tako je bil dopisniku naznanjen slučaj nepravilnosti in stvar je bila izravnana ob pravem času. Nekateri pa bi najrajši videli, da ne bi bilo nikogar in da bi nastala diktatura.
Ker je še dovolj časa do prihodnjih volitev, je priporočljivo, da bi se vsi, ki namersvsjo kandidirati, dobro pripravili, da ne bo pozneje poverilni odbor reševal vaše zadeve.
No, tako bom tudi >az končsl in molčsl toliko časa. dokler ne dobim kontre od onih. ki se zavzemajo za okrožne volitve. Prej ko pridejo na dan, naj nam povedo kako bodo razdelili o-krožja. In točko naj nam pri-neso ns svetlo Jsz nsmreč rsd gledam nekaj, kar se sveti.

ZABAVA SLOVENSKIH SOKOLIC
Cleveland. O.—Društvo Slovenske Sokolice 442 SNPJ vabi na svojo letno zabavo, katera se bo vršila v soboto, 13. oktobra, v Slovenskem narodnem domu na St. Clair ave.
Vsako leto v oktobru se pripravimo za ples. Vojna je končana, mladeniči in možje se vračajo domov, zato smo dale tej zabavi ime "Victory Dance." Slovenske Sokolice napravimo samo en ples na leto, toda takrat pripravimo vsega v izobilju. Ob zvokih Vadnalove godbe bomo prav veselo plesali in v krogu svojih prijateljev pozabili vsaj nekaj ur na vsakdanje skrbi. Vsako leto ste nam napolnili dvorano, prav tako pričakujemo, da nas boste posetili tudi letos.
Pri pregledovanju knjige "Ameriški Slovenci" sem videla, da je naše društvo najstarejšo, dasiravno nosi št. 442. Ustanovljeno je bilo 11. septembra 1. 1906. Lepo število let ža žensko društvo. Drugo leto bomo obhajale 40-letnico.
Prejšnja leta smo sprejemale v društvo samo ženske, zadnjih nekaj let pa smo napravile izjemo in sprejemamo tudi moške. Saj so tudi ob ustanovitvi sodelovale ženske s Sokoli, ki so prirejali skupne pohode.
Slovenske Sokolice se odzovejo povsod, kadar gre za napredno stvar. Naši sestri Cecilija Subelj in F. Legat zelo pridno agitirata za farmo SNPJ in pobirata prispevke, prav tako sta aktivni pri Progresivnih Slovenkah itd. In tudi druge naše članice se udejstvujejo v našem kulturnem in društvenem življenju.
Torej na veselo svidenje dne 13. oktobra v Slovenskem narodnem domu na St. Clair ave.!

Uspeh proslave SNPJ v Kansasu
V nedeljo, 30. septembra je društvo Bodočnost št. 408 SNPJ praznovalo svojo petindvajset-letnico v Slovensko-Hrvaškem domu v Kansas Cityju, Kansas. Ker sem bil povabljen, da na proslavi zastopam glavni odbor jednote, mi je bila dana tudi prilika govoriti o političnih in relifnih problemih Slovenije in Jugoslavije, za katere se zlasti med ameriškimi Slovenci posebno zanimajo člani naše jednote. To sem skušal po svoji skromni moči izvršiti.
Slovenska naselbina v tem in-dustrialnem mestu države Kansas Šteje nekako 700 duš, Hrvatov pa je baje okrog 6,000. Večina je uposlena v okrožnih tovarnah ln podjetjih, katerih je bilo precej zgrajenih med sedanjo vojno. Ena največjih je tovarna za izdelavo bombnikov, ki pa sedaj počiva. Najvažnejša industrija za obe mesti (Kansas City, Kansas, in Kansas City, Missouri) pa so velikanske klavnice in tovarne za procesiranje mesa in mesnih izdelkov. Slovenci imajo svojo cerkev, ki je baje stala $75,000, in istotako tudi Hrvati svojo. Zelo značilno je dejstvo, da vlada med Slovenci in Hrvati velika harmonija in skoro pri vseh javnih nastopih sodelujejo kot "ameri-kanski Jugoslovani." lmafo tudi skupen narodni dom, ki ga lastujpjo tamošnja slovenska in hrvaška podporna društva.
Proslava 25-letnice društva Bodočnost je bila nad vse dobro obiskana in dvorana je bila napolnjena do zadnjega kotička. Nastopil je tudi ženski zbor skupine, ki si je nadela ime "Community Players," in zapel par ameriških ter po eno hrvaško in slovensko narodno pesem. Dekleta imajo izborne glasove in prilika nastaja za organiziranje močnega mešanega zbora, Nimajo pa primernega pevskega vodje, ki bi znal tehniko in tolmačenje jugoslovanskih pesmi.
Program je vodil predsednik društva Joe Horžen. V imenu društva št. 690, Hearts of Kansas, je članstvu čestitala blagaj-ničarka sestra Mary Rodlna. K a za ne so bile tudi premične slike SNPJ iz Slovenije ter zvočni film o predaji Japonske. Prizori po raznih delih slovenske dežele, katere sem skušal med predvajanjem tolmačiti, so napravili na interesente globok vtis. Predvajanje Je bilo tehnično brezhibno. Po programu je posebno mladina imela obilo zabave s plesom, zs katerega Je igral zelo dober tamburaški orkester. Godba Je še posebno učinkovits, ko poje solistinja ali pa duet. Ostali pa smo /s-sedli obmizje, si hladili Kris s 3.2 pivom in se pogovarjali do policijske ure, ki je točno ob polnoči.
Drugi dan pa nas je Zvonimir Kvaternik popeljal čez mejo, kjer bmo si ogledali drugo največje mesto v državi Missouri. Zelo lep je pogled z vrha spomenika padlim vojakom v prvi svetovni vojni, ki se dviga 217 čevljev nad temeljem in nad 350 čevljem nad mestom. Tigovskl del mesta so ne razlikuje od drugih mest z nad 350,000 prebivalci, rezidenčni distrikti pa so zelo prijazni, toda "prebogs-tl" za take ljudi, kol smo ml. Spremljsla sts naju še člana John Slobodnik in neki rojak od Trčbnjs, katerega Ime nem pa popolnoma pozabil,
Zvečer Je bil sestanek zavednih Slovencev ln Hrvatov, po večini tuksj rojenih, ki vodijo lokslni Ameriški-jugoslovanski odbor, odsek Združenegs odbora Amerikancev Južnoslovanskega porekla. Pogovorili smo se o marsičem in si izmenjsli mnenja ln informacije Zanimanje tu rojene mladine za Jugoslavi-Jo me Je |xiSebno presenetilo, posebno še, ker Je naprednegs mišljenja In dobro razumeva težnje in aspliacije nove Jugoslavije Razšli smo se veseli in zadovoljni malo pred odhodom mojegs vlska proti Chlcsgu.
Posebno /shvslo sem dolžan sestri Mary Kvaternik, tajnici 1 društva, ki se je toliko prize-j devala, da mi nudi pristno slovensko g<*rtolJubJe in postrežbo, kakor tudi njen soprog George Kin Zvonimir le ^eskrbel, d» je lokalna radiopostaja KCKN darovala 15 minut časa lokalne-| mu odboru, da sern v nedeljo pred programom v dvorani go-
voril o Jugoslaviji in tržaškem vprašanju po radiju tudi za a-meriško publiko. Govor je bii ljudem zelo všeč. (Priobeen bo v angleški sekciji—u red.) Bla-gajnicarka društva sestra Kriss pa je nas večje število povabila na dobro domačo večerjo, kale-ic se ni nihče branil. Vsem članom in rojakom, ki so me tako prijazno sprejeli, se iskreno zahvaljujem,,
Slovencem, ki kdaj potujejo skozi Kansas City, bi priporočal, da obiščejo sestro Kvaternik in jo vprašajo, da jim postreže s "čilijem." Povem vam, da takega še niste jedli! Skoda, da recept ni na razpolago, niti ne na prodaj.
Naša jednota je žela na proslavi veliko moralno pridobitev, društvo si je pa tudi opomoglo svojo blagajno, da še lažje nadaljuje svoje humsnitarno delo med našimi rojakimi.

rrzbiii—kakor je trdila Ijub-fjan.ska vsevedna navihanost). Po Aleksandrovi smrti pa smo bili počaščeni s sliko že omenjenega njegovega sinčka, ki tedaj še ni dosegel zrelostne dobe o-scmnajstth let, da bi zavladal "svojim podanikom v kraljevini Jugoslaviji." Na teh novih znamkah pa je portret maršala Tita; nič kraljevine, nič krone, pač pa velepomembne besede: DEMOKRATSKA FEDERATIVNA JUGOSLAVIJA.
Pismo je osebnega značaja, /ato ga ne nameravam priobčiti od pike do pike. Zaključuje pa se takole:
"Da bi Vam hoteli, opisati, kar smo v teh letih preživeli, ne bi zlepa prišli do kraja. Veseli smo, da je vse to grdo sa nami, pred nami pa je bodoč-noat lepša in svetlejša, kot bi kdaj koli poprej mogla biti!"
Slednjič—prvo direktno pismo iz Jugoslavije
Jakob Zupan
Pred menoj leži pismo iz Ljubljane. Kazen znamk je prav tako, kot smo jih bili pred leti vajeni prejemati iz stare do« movine. Na tisoče takih pisemskih ovitkov bo odslej v stalnem toku prihsjalo semkaj na velikih ladjah ter brzih letalih.
Za zbiralca znamk in poštnih kurijozitet nima ta pisemski ovitek posebne vrednosti, ker bodo taki ovitki kmalu nekaj vsakdanjega. Zame In za mojo družinico pa pomeni silno veliko. Ssj je to po dolgi mučni dobi prvi glas odondod, od naših najboljših prijateljev.
Prišlo je zadnjo soboto. Prej-kone tri 'bilo samo, ampak je bilo le eno od mnogih njemu sličnih, Mogoče si tudi ti, ki to bereš, dobil katero v roke.

Popolnoma ohranjenega mamuta, ki je ležal v ledu nad dvajset tisoč let, so našli na VVranglo-vem otoku. Dolg je osemnajst čevljev in tak kakor da Je včeraj bil položen na led. Znanstvena akademija je odposlala posebno odpravo, da ga prepelje v Moskvo. To je drugi mamut, ki je bil najden cel. Prvega so našli pri Bereskovi pred sto šest in tridesetimi leti, toda poškodovali so ga psi, ki jih je tedanja eka-pedieija imela s seboj, Sedanji pa je nepoškodovan.

Kontrola atomske bombe
Eno največjih, ako ne največje sodobno vprašanje vsega človeštva, ne samo Amerike ih drugih velesil, Je vprašanje atomske bombe. S to iznajdbo—sproščanjem atomske energije—si ni človek odprl samo poti do največjih skrivnosti Narave ter naredil ključ do popolnoma nove industrijske civilizacije—še do veliko večje industrijske revolucije kot Jo je prinesla iznajdba parnega stroja—marveč si Je zgradil tudi orožje, ki lahko pomeni za dolgo dobo uničenje vse tako zvane civilizacije.
Iznajdba atomske bombe jc postavila odpravo vojne in ustvaritev TRAJNEGA miru kot kategoričen imperativ za vse človeštvo. Predvsem pa je to kategorični imperativ za vse velesile, kajti le one si bodo mogle privoščiti to strašno in silno drago orožje in tudi
le one nastopiti z njim druga proti drugi.

Znanstveniki se danes strinjajo, ako pride do nove vojne, tedaj so tudi ameriška velemesta zapisana isti usodi kot je zadela Hiro-širno in Nagasaki. In zapisana so ji iz razloga, ker bo v novo katastrofo zopet potegnjena tudi Amerika, aH jo bo pa sama provo-cirala. Vsak človek pa lahko ve, ako mu je kai do objektivnosti in resnice, da današnjih vojn, tudi agresivnih vojn ne zakrivi samo ena država, marveč Jo sprožijo konfliktni interesi imperialističnih in tudi "miroljubnih" držsv. Tudi druga svetovna vojna je nastala vsled teh konfliktov, dasi pade največja krivda na nacijsko Nemčijo in imperialistično Jsponsko. Kdor ni slep, lahko vidi, da ti konflikti že danes ustvarjalo vse vzroke za nov svetovni požar. In to med ruskim in anglo-ameriškim svetom. Kdor bi to tajil, bi le varal samega sebe.
In če pride do novega svetovnega konflikta, se lahko zgodi, da bodo vsa ameriška velemesta od New Yorka do San Francisca, kakor tudi vsa kanadsks. angleška, ruska 'n lahko še katera druga velemesta uničena do popolnosti—sigurno še bolj temeljito kot sta bila Htrošlma in Nagasaki.
Kongreinik Arends iz Illinoisa Je oni dan dejal v nižji zbornici, da Je bil informiran po "najbolj kompetentni avtoriteti," da so ameriški znsnstvenikl in tehniki že izdelali tako grozovito novo atomsko bombo, v primeri s katero je atomska bomba, ki je bila vržena na Hlrošlmo, kot "bengalični naboj (firecracker)". In če je samo ta atomski "firecracker" ub'l 150,000 ljudi in spremenil v prah in pepel štiri kvadratne milje tega japonskega mesta, kakšen učinek bo lahko napravila še "prava" atomska bomba! In neki angleški znanstvenik, ki je sodeloval pri "manhattanskem projektu," kskor je bilo tajno poznano vse eksperimentiranje v zvezi s to iznajdbo—on je zadnje dn» na nredavanju v Londonu dejal, da je popolnoma možno izdelovati 10-tonske atomske bombe. Dejal je tudi, da bi ena sama taka bomba lahko totalno uničila ves London ali New York—sigurno tudi Moskvo.
Zadnjo sredo je predsednik Truman poslal kongresu poslanico,
v	kateri je podal načrt administracije za kontrolo te bombe. Svoj načrt je izdelal na podlagi priporočila posebne komisije znanstvenikov.
Skrivnost izdelovanja atomske bombe je danes še monopol Amerike, Anglije in Kanade, toda kompetentni znanstveniki pravijo, kar je omenil tudi Truman in pred nJim Churchill—takoj po bom-bat dti an ju Hirošime—da je samo vprašanje časa, kvečjemu pet let, ko bo ta skrivnost znana tudi drugim državam, posebno pa Rusiji. Neka znanstvena sovjetska revija je že zadnjega marca poročala, toiej več mesecev preti bombardiranjem Hirošime, da se je ruskim znanstvenikom posrečilo odkritje sproščanja atomske energije. Znano vsekakor je, da so tudi sovjetski znanstveniki že skozi več let med vojno cknuetimentlrali na tem tiolju. Enako je delala tudi Nemčija ie ored Hitlerjem, še bol) energično pa pozneje, toda Je bila ksreči prej poražena. Ce bi b'la uspela, b« se bila vojna drugače zakllučila . . .
Truman pravi v svoji poslanici, da se ameriška vlada ne bo branila mednarodni kontroli te bombe. Toda prej se mora o tem posvetovati z Angli|o n Kanado. "Civilizacija zahteva od nas," pra
vi	piedhedmk, "da pridemo čim pre) do zadovoljivega sporazuma za kontrolo te iznajdbe v svrho, da postane mogočno sredstvo ui vzdrževanje svetovnega miru, namesto kot Instrument destruk-cije"
To« i a dokler nc nride do kakšnega mednarodnega sporazuma, Tmman onooroča kongresu, na| ustanovi posebno komisijo znan ittvenikov, ki bo imela popolno kontrolo nad to iznajdbo, kakor tudi nad vsem nadaljnilm eksperimentiranjem ln produkcijo atom ske energije, dalje nad vsemi atomskim« rudninami, katere Je pred aednik nekaj dni prej podržavll s posebnim dekretom, kakor tudi
nad vsemi lnformacl|aml ln koncesijami v industrijske svrhe.
*
Ta Trumanov koiak je na mestu, toda le kot začasni ukrep. Kon greš ne more storiti manj, kot da spretme njegova priporočila v obliki zakona T«kIu potreben bo v resnici še veliko večji korak in sicer na mednarodnem polju, ne samo za kontroliranje tega i.tiahovltega orožja, marveč tudi VM»«a drugega težkega orožja, ako se svet hoče izogniti nov» katastrofi, novi svetovni vojni, ki bi lz industr ijfckih mest napravila prave razvaline.

GLAS PREDSEDNIKA FARME SMPJ
Clcvoland, O.—Vsakemu članu SNPJ v Clevelandu in bližnji okolici, ki se vsaj deloma zanima za razvoj in napredek svojega društva in organizacije, je gotovo znano, da imajo tukajšnja društva SNPJ že zadnjih šest let svoje poletno shajališče ali izletni prostor, katerega na kratko imenujemo farma SNPJ.
Ta prostor je v času normalnih razmer posečalo stotine našega članstva in prijateljev vsako nedeljo in deloma tudi med tednom. Med nje jc prihajalo večje ali manjše število tujcev, naseljencev bližnje okolice.
Na farmi je bila poleg drugih poslopij tudi vsaj delno odgovarjajoča plesna dvorana, katera je služila za plesišče naši odrasli mladini, pa tudi starejšim,' ki se včasih še vedno radi zavrtijo. Nesreča pa je hotela, da' te dvorane sedaj ni več. Pod težo naravnih elementov, snega) in viharja, se je preteklo zimo podrla. Ifrij sedaj?
Neki Ribničan, ki je bržkone ( zadosti brihten in zna gledati v bodočnost, Je rekel: "Pa drugo naredimo!" Da, tudi direktorij aH vodstvo je tega mnenja in zato je že podvzel potrebne ko-1 rake, omogočil načrte in druge piprave, toda najvažnejše vprašanje sedaj pa je—FINANCA!
Potrebujemo najmanj $8000! Kje vzeti to vsoto? Dobiti posojilo sicer ni težko, teže pa ga je obrestovati in vrniti, lz-1 kušnje nas uče: kjer je velika zadolžba, se vsi napori v pre-težnosti vrše le—v korist upnika. In da se temu vsaj kolikor mogoče izognemo, je direk-j torij na svoje zadnji seji sklenil: STOPITI DIREKTNO PRED»
Članstvo za prostovoljne prispevke.
Koliko naj bi prispevali posamezniki? Ako upoštevamo, da je v Clevelandu in bližnji okolici nad 5,000 članov SNPJ in je vsak pripravljen povprečno prispevati le $1 v ta namen, je nadpolovična vsota skupaj. O-stalo pa bi se dobilo deloma od društev in ako ni drugače, tudi delno posojilo.
Ali je vsak izmed vas, čitate-ljev, pripravljen prispevati to malo vsoto???
Kakšen je rpoj namen o finančnih izgledih za bodočnost?
Izkušnja iz preteklosti, katera je navadno najboljše merilo, nam kaže: da vsa dosedanja direktna vplačila od društev niti ne dosegajo svote, katero se je plačalo za zemljišče. Vendar pa imamo sedaj na izletniškem prostoru SNPJ stanovanjsko hišo, katera je v svojem prvotnem stanju (poleg veliko zastonjske->{a dela) stala $2,000.
Napeljava elektrike (okrog milje daleč) je stala nad $500,' vodnjak in vodne napeljave, sa-| nltaoijn ln instalacija plumber-skih objektov pa nad $600, ga-' raža, balincarski prostori in razna popravila v bivši dvorani zopet nad $300, Poleg tega pa je po odbitku dolga še nad $200 v gotovini in nekaj denarja v blagu.
Ali zgornje številke zadostno ne dokazuje, da se podjetje dobro obrestuje? Poleg tega pa ne smemo pozabiti še tega dejstva: da je prav kar minulo vojno stanje, ki je zlasti v zadnjih dveh letih preprečilo marsikateremu našemu prijatelju, po-služiti se vožnje v tako odaljen kraj, kakor tudi nismo mogli vsled restrikcij na blagu včasih še tiste obiskovalce, ki so kljub oviram prišli na farmo SNPJ, tako poatrečl kot bi radi.
Iz zgoraj navedenih podatkov vsakdo sam lahko razvidi, kaj smemo pričakovati v bodoče.
Vojna |e sedaj minila in naši fantje, ki so tako briljantno Izvršili svojo nalogo, so se pričeli vrsčeti med domače.
Izletniški prostor SNPJ je e-dlnl v tej okolici, ki je oatsl za prirejanje naših piknikov v bodočnosti Toret. ako ste pri-pr a vi leni pomagati, upam. da bo v prihodnjem letu. ko bo nara-
va zopet z zelenjem okrasila tisti prijazen hribček, že Um sUU primerna dvorana, v kateri bomo skupno sprejeli in pozdravili naše fante-vojake. Izletniški prostor bo zopet dobil tisto lice, o katerem bodo zunanji posetniki zopet lahko rekli kot je dejal odlični, dolgoletni čUn gl. odbora SNPJ Jakob Zupančič iz Chicaga:. "Boljšega kraja niste mogli dobiti za U namen kot ga imate! Z vami vred sem ponosen nanj!"
Gornje vrste so seveda namenjene za naše tukajšnje članstvo, ako pa kateri članov ali društev iz drugih naselbin želi kaj pomagati, bomo pa dar tudi od njih z veseljem in hvaležnostjo sprejeli. Prispevke se lahko posije direktno na tajnico izletniškega prostora SNPJ, tukajšnje članstvo pa tajniku svojega društva.
ŽENSKI KLUB VABI NA PLESNO VESELICO
Sygan, Pa.—Iz naše naselbine se res malo kdo oglasi. Ne vem, kaj je temu vzrok. Do sedaj so bili resnično vsi zaposleni, moški in ženske, sedaj, ko je vojne konec, se bodo pa zopet malo oddahnili. .. Mogoče se bo večkrat kdo oglasil v naši Prosveti.
br. Zaitza, ta ve, da bo referat v veščih rokah.
Po njegovem referatu bo dana vsem prilika, da izrazijo svoje mnenje, kar je demokratično in na ta način bomo najbolj obdelali predmet.

SMRT ČLANA DRUŠTVA 205 SNPJ
Duluth. Minn. —r Neizprosna smrt je zopet posegla med člane društva Leo Tolstoj št. 205 SNPJ in iztrgala i£ naše srede brata Johna Debelaka. On je preminul nagle smrti v petek zjutraj, dne 28. septembra 1945,' vsled srčne kapi.
Pokojnik je bil rojen 17. junija 1886 v vasi Sv. Gregor pri Velikih Laščah na Dolenjskem.' V Ameriko Je prišel leta 1913J nastanil se je tft Evelethu, Minn.,1 kjer imel krojaško o*brt. -
Leta 1916 se je naselil v Gary-New Duluthu, kjer je tudi nadaljeval s svojo krojaško obrtjo in poznejša leU je^imel tudi trgovino za obleke. On je bil marljiv delavts in si je v teku let ustvaril precej dobro tekočo trgovino. Gut	je posUl'
pri društvuf fir '.60 v Evelethu leU 1914, In %f> Je prišel v Duluth, je prestopil k "Tolstoju," kjer je bil ves čas včlanjen in; bil pred leti jako aktiven dru-štvenik; imel je več odborniških mest, bil eden ustanovnih č2a-' nov minnesotske federacije SNPJ. ZednTO leta se je umaknil iz društvenih aktivnosti.1 Kaj je bilo temu vzrok, ne vem. j
Pogreb se je vršil v ponde-ljek, 1. oktobra 1945, iz pogreb-1 nega zavoda v West Duluthu na pokopališče Calvary. Pogreba se je udeležilo precej članov in članic ter drugih njegovih znancev in prijateljev.
Pogrebniki so bili sledeči bratje društva: Carl Gerlovich, Seb. Pepel, Emil Dubrik, Frank Burger, John Boben in John Ivane. Društvo je dalo običajne cvetlice, katerih je bilo precej tudi od drugih. Udeležba pri pogrebu je pokazala, da je bil pokojni priljublen v naselbini.	i
Predsednik društva jc vsled deževnega jutra prečital društveni poslovilni govor v pogrebnem zavodu, prtfcno je bilo truplo odpeljano na'pokopališče. Vzlic deževnemu vremenu je bila precej velika udeležba tudi na pokopališču. V imenu društva se zahvaljujem članom in članicam za veliko udeležbo in pogrebnikom za njih voljni odziv. S tem smo špet pokazali bratsko zavest, katero more kazati le bratska organizacija.
Tebi, John, naj l>o lahka ameriška zemlja! Lahko bi šc užival sadove svojega dela, ali neizprosni zakon narave je hotel1 drugače. Dokončal si trnjevo pot, po kateri hodimo vsi In trplenje je za Tebe končano.1 Počivaj mirno v zemlji nove do-' movine!
Pokojnik zapušča ženo. tri sinove. dva pri vojakih, od katerih se mlajši nahaja v Nemčiji, eno sestro v starem kraju in e-no pa v Clevelandu. O., ter več diugih daljnih sorodnikov. Sorodnikom v Imenu društva na tem mestu izrekam iskreno ln globoko sožalje!

NAŠ ODER
Cleveland. O.—"O, ta vražja vdova" je naslov komične igre, katero bo predstavilo drama-tično društvo Ivan Cankar v nedeljo, 28. oktobra, v dobrobit centrale podružnic SANSa tega okrožja.
Predstava se bo pričela ob' 2:30 popoldne v S. N. D. na St Clair ave. Vstopnice za priredbo gredo kaj urno izpod lok, Kar je gotova garancija za številno udeležbo. In zakaj pa ne, saj stvar gre za plemenite ni-mene, za koristi naših v domovini.
Igra "O, ta vražja vdova" no-J si veselo lice. Pisana je za sr in razvedrilo, lek ki ga vsi zelo potrebujemo. Že vsaka vadna vdova ima v žensi svetu neko posebnost in sevedtj ta "vražja" vdova pa je pran ekstrem. In ta ekstrem se nam bo gotovo razkazal v pravih barvah, ki ga bodo podali pre-iskušenih in vešči Cankarjevi igralci. Zaklučni stavek teh vrstic pa
naj bo: Vsi na to predstavo! *
. Na Zahvalni dan pa bo zopet "Zaija" predstavila svoj produkt na odru S. N. D. Poleg koncertnih točk ima zbor v načrtu predvajati krasno Vodopiv-čevo spevoigro "Povodnji mož' in kot posebnost še zbirko partizanskih pesmi. Zadnje smo prejeli komaj pred nekaj mtse-ci »n zbor se sedaj urno vadi, da jih tega dne poda kar naj-sigurnejše.
Vsebinsko predstavljajo tf partizanske , pesmi pobudo in klic na boj za narodno osvebo-jenje, muzikalno so pa nepre-kosliive, pravi kras novih melodij.	__ Leo. Poljšak.

sijajni uspeh!
V soboto dne 6. oktobra smo v jednotini dvorani predvajali slike, "Nemške grozote" in "Osvoboditev Belgrada" pod avspicijo Slovenske narodne podporne jednote. Priredba je sijajno Izpadla iporalno, kakor tudi finančno. Dvorana je bila nabito polna članov in rojakov, med katerimi se je po priredbi slišalo splošno odobravanje filmov.
Vstopnine se ni računalo, se je pa med predvajanjem slik pobiralo prostovoljne prispevke, kateri so prinesli vsoto $449.01). Koliko so donesli dohodki v spodnji dvorani po priredbi, še ni znano, ker še niao plačani računi, domneva pa se, da bo tudi tam lep dobiček. Denar je numenjen za pomoč rojakom v domovini v enem uli drugem oziru.
Na tem mestu se želim iskreno zahvaliti vsem onim, ki so na en sli drugi način pomugali na omenjeni priredbi, kakor tudi občinstvu, ker zasluga je njihova, du je stvar tako zadovoljivo izpadla, ker brez sodelovanja lojalnih ter delovnih članov jednote bi tega ne bilo mogoče doseči. Narod v domovini se vas bo brez dvoma hvuležno spominjali Dalje se tudi toplo zahvalim sestrama in bratu Mo-šini, ker so igrali take lepe slovenske komade v splošno zadovoljstvo onih, ki so po priredbi ostali na domači zabavi in posebno še plesalcev.

Twentieth Anniversary of SNPJ EnglUb Speaking Lodge Movent^
PAGE SIX
For Members of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes
WEDNESDAY, OCTO^
Our Society's Basic Principles
THESE LINES, which deal with our Society'» basic principle«, are addressed to SNPJ nu mbers in general and to all lodge officers in particular.
It appears that some of our members and lodge officers either are not acquainted with the fundamental principles of the So- j ciety or are not sufficiently versed in their meaning; consequently, they are easily led astray by local politicians and re-actionary elements. Two glaring instances show this to be true, both of them occurring in western Pennsylvania, where the Constitution of our Society was violated by an English and a Slovene speaking lodge in one town, and by a Juvenile Circle in another, and in both cases religious character was injected into their local celebrations.
For this reason it is necessary at this time to call our members' attention to the Declaration of Principles stated in Article I of the Constitution:
The Slovene Nstionsl Benefit Society Is founded on a iroo thought basis. This bssls must remain unchanged unless decided otherwise by a three-fourths majority vote of all deloqaiea and Supreme Board Membera present st thrae consecutive regular conventlona of the Supreme Legislative Body or by a three-fourths majority vote cast by the members in throe consecutive referendums. Provided, there shall bo a three yoar interval between auch referendums.
The Society grants to its members personsl freedom of religious, philosophical, ethical and political creeds. No member shall either in lodge or the Society's publication obstruct the fundamental freethcuqht basis of the Society.
The first purugruph quoted above deals exclusively with the freethought principles adopted by our founding pioneers more than foity years ago; the second paragraph guarantees complete personal freedom to all members.
★ * *
WHAT IS FREE THOUGHT? Does it mean that one can
freely expound his religious creed in our lodges or publications?
It does not! Webster defines free thought thus:
"Thought which is free of, or refuses to recognize, traditional or externul uuthority in matters of opinion, especially in respect
to religion."
A freethinker, according to Webster, is "one who forms opinions independently, especially of the authority of revelation or
the church."
Therefore, the free thought principles of our Society are devoid of uny religious dogma; in fact, they are against any and ull religious doctrines, and all lodges and members must abide by them. Our Society with its local lodges is completely di-" vorced from ull religious character, and its members are bound by the by-laws to keep ull religious ceremonies from their lodges.
Our Society has not only been founded on these principles, but it hus strictly adhered to them since its inception. Moreover, it has grown and progressed on these principles, surpassing all
other Slovene fraternal orders thut are religious in character.
★ * *
THE SECOND PARAGRAPH quoted ubove deals with personal freedom that is guarunteed to all members. Is this in any
way contradictory to the first puragruph?
The Society grunts its members personal freedom—outside ' of the lodge. This means thut it does not interfere with any member's personal preference of religious creed—but it does not peimit the exercise of these creeds in its lodges or publications.
in other words, the Society does not care what church you pati unite us long us you don't try to inject your religious beliefs into its lodges. Therefore, it a violation of the Society's fundamental principles for u lodge to invite u clergyman to its cele-biations. Likewise, u lodge tliut inv'tes u speaker representing some reactionary group, is ulso violating our long established principles of progressive labor ideology. Most of the local politicians belong to reactionary political machines and us such have no place on the progrums sponsored by our lodges.
Our English speaking lodges are asked to strictly observe the Constitution and Hy-Luws «if the Society ut ull times. The rule i:» simple: keep all religious matters out of your lodges and af-fairs and celebrations; do not invite uny church representative to your lodge functions; representatives of reactionary and anti-labor gioups must have no place ut your lodge's doings; instead, invite our supreme board members and progressive labor leaders.
In short, observe the by-laws in ull respects und help build up the organization on the tried and true principles on which the SNPJ hus achieved remarkable successes in giving support in the form of various benefits us well as disseminating enlightenment to its members along labor l'nes. The SNPJ will continue its fiaternal und educational work with the fidelity that has chiiructcri/.ed its course since its foundution.

Bowling Taps
The vacation must have done Joey Glavan a lot of good as he really was in the groove in Monday night's Remic Mixed league. His roundhouse hook was in good working order as he cl ashed a good total of 693 <jn games of 204411-178. Matt Levar came thru with a 238 game to round out a 548 set.
Among the lassies Mary Remic was on the beam with her 536 series which included a 202 game. She really poured it in hubby Wally who managed to splatter the setups for a 471 total. The badgers bowling in this league are Joe Ambrosh, Wally Remic, Louis and Joe Glavan, Johnny Sedmak, Ann Paulin, Albina Debeluk, Josephine Smanz, and Frances Friedl. Come down} some Monday evening and lend! your moral support to these bowlers. Never can tell. It may be Just | the spark needed to soar some of the totals up.
Reminding you all to get into the habit of attending your regular monthly meetings and paying your dues on time.
SALTY, 584.
Excelsiors
ALIQUIPPA, PA —It has been a long time since the last news article from Aliquippa appeared in this paper.
These last few months have been very busy especially for the Lodge
Scelsiors No. 72, now thst the sen-lodge Grozd No. 122 has merged with us making the Excelsiors a much stronger and more active lodge. Our merger has proved that now more members are attending the meetings and here's hoping the future monthly gatherings will continue to be likewise.
Everyone is reading and talking about the E.S.L. 20th Anniversary Campaign which began this month, but feW know the Excelsiors are also having an anniversary, their 15th this year.
How about it, members, let's celebrate by getting our quota of new members and to boost the Exbelsiors to the 200 mark? During the last campaign, Bro. George Smrekar, formerly of the Grozd Lodge No. 122, enrolled the lodge's entire quota by himself. Let's not depend on just one member this time, but instead how about everyone doing his share?
Tha 10th Apnual Penna SNPJ Day was a big success, which proves again that the surrounding lodges are interested in attending these affairs by coming to South Park in busloads, including the Excelsiors. The committee and its workers for this affair deserve all the credit in seeing that everyone had plenty to eat and drink besides being entertained.	'
Watching Frances Novak and her troupe of juveniles entertain the au-dit nee at the "Lodge" in South Park makes one wonder what the rest of the lodges are doing in promoting better relations among their own uveniles.	n
The familiw. fac£ of James Mag-lich seen at tne past affairs was not present at South Park. We missed you, Jim.
Let's see some new faces at our next meeting on Oct. 20 at the Slovene Hall.

Sharon Keystoners
SHARON, PA—Here it is! The dance we all have been waiting for. When? Why, it's this Sunday, Oct. 14. Where? At Slovene Home in Sharon, Baldwin and French sts. Time? As usual 8:30 p. m. The earlier you come, the longer you'll dance. Some of you folks come at 10 o'clock and expect to dance till 2 a. m. Ain't it the truth?
Who's playing and who's giving this dance? Jack Persin and his Jolly Jesters of Warren, Ohio, will furnish the music. The gang has already told me to warn Jack to play more polkas. Boy, do we love theml This party is not bragging, but the Keystoners lodge, who is sponsoring this dance, is a very popular lodge in our vicinity, and its dances are attended by many different nationalities. "Moje dekle je Se mlado" and "O Maritka peglaj" are the two songs that everyone can sing that attends our dances.
If any of you can't attend the Keystoners' dance this Sunday, the Juvenile Circle is holding a dance the following Sunday, Oct. 21. Same time, same place, same orchestra, and the juveniles hope, the same people, and more of them. For either one of these dances, the Ambridge gang, with Peltzes and Rosenberg-ers, promised to come and bring that handsome Marine Joe Rosen-berger who is expected home on furlough. We'll keep our fingers crossed; eh, girls?
The SNPJ Pennsy Day at South Park, Pittsburgh, should be a great success, by the looks of the huge busloads from Ambridge, 'Girard, Cleveland, Verona, Strabane and Sharon. There were people galore from 'most anywhere. Michael Ku-mer should be complimented for a swell job, and that also goes for the committee. Soloist Josephine Klun surprised almost everyone with her beautiful deep tones. Yes, Josephine, the Sharon gang wishes you the best of luck in your future.
I'm sure that the boys and girls of the Sharon Juvenile Circle all had a swell time, and that goes for the rest that came along with the busload. South Park is a beautiful place, even if it was rather hard to find it. It's nice to travel with such a jolly gang of children as ours. Singing and joking all the way. ,Prior's is the .main stop lor our Circle, the place for a real meal. It looked as though we Were all coffee and milkshake drinkers. Not to mention the ice-cream and candy brought in the bus to eat all the way home. Sleep? None! Mitzie Anzur had her harmonika with her. Leave it to Mitzie, and there's no time for a sleep. Nancy Stambal and Theresa Luin, once good Circle members, still like to travel with the gang.
Remembering such popular folks as these, at this event, the Kumers, Rezeks, Lesars, Mary Cassel, Elmer Effler, Math Kern, Rudy Krulc, Carl Pod boy (home on furlough), Mary Halich, Dermotta girls and Dad, Frances Rosenberger and Dad, Stella Peltz and son. Bogotays of Gir&rd, Antoncics and Lampichs and gang from Aliquippa. Yes, Aliquippa plso had a busload. Mrs. Petro, Michael Vrhovnik's sister, Frank Tomsic, Johnnie Ujcic, Anne Guzel and parents. Faboc sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Klun. parents of the solyift Josephine Klun. Joe Umich's wife and Joe's sister, good ole Stanley Hri-bar, wife and children (Stan is home from hospital), Mr. and Mrs. Matt Zaubi and daughters.' The money maker Mr. Zakrajick and sister from Cleveland,. nton Zornik, Rudy Lisch of the supreme board who nave a fine speech concerning the 20th anniversary campaign of ESL. Michael Lipesky. Frank Styduhar, Martin Zagger, and Marty Kuko-vich and gang, the guy with the good orchestra and who promised to come lo Sharon for a 2-day run some day.
For afternoon dancing, music was furnished by Mitzie Anzur and Miss Macck accompanied by girl friend, Edith Tancek of Girard. I'm happy to say that I personally talked to everyone of these folks mentioned above, and please forgive^ me if I forgot to remember or mention certain ones. There are many more, hut I'm sorry that I can't recall their names. My next hobby will be to have all the names, addresses and pictures, if possible, of my friends and members onlv of the SNPJ. So. if you'll see me walking around at certain doings and approaching you. be ready to give me your signature! Remember!
I do want to mention this to all of you. Let's all work hard to bring in new members for our 20th Anniversary Campargn of ESL Key-Itoners' goal is 8 new members.

Our Front
__By Louis
uobT OBSERVE«« agree that the
London conference of foreign minia-a complete "flop." W(. mu8t remember that the gossip about the flop" Urgely originated SBrittfb newspapers, with our own newspapers	the^me re/ram.
SSrantly. however, the miniate« JffTorrve Plain, angry talking.
uoiotov is reported as Jwving said
that "tht' previous foreign ministers' meting was a success—first, because it w*s held in Moscow, and, second, itierv were Cordell Hull and Anthony
Eden " .
If »0. Molotov's remark indicated that the Russiana found it easier to d0 busmesa with Churchill's Conservative government and Roosevelt than with Attlee'a Labor government and Truman.,
It seems clear that Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill reached an agreement on the division of Europe, and now Secretary Byrnes and Foreign Minister Bevin raised this question all over again.
That's why Molotov demanded that France be barred from interfering in this problem, and took the stand that it has already been settled by "Big Three" promises which should be carried out. '
ANOTHER significant point in the conference was reachcd when Molo'-tov suggested that all the nations which fought the Japs should be it presented on a council to advise MacArthur in Japan.
It is interesting to know that both Byrnes and Bevin opposed this— until they heard from Canada, Australia and New Zealand which demanded places on the proposed council and backed the Russian stand.
So it was one maneuvering after another on the side of Byrnes and Bevin, both trying to outmaneuver Molotov who, by the way, is an old hand at dealing in international discussions. Byrnes and Bevin are newcomers and therefore still green at the game.
One newspaper writer makes this obfervation: 'The London conference certainly did not improve the prospects for peace, but the situation is not as dark as it is painted ifl the newspapers," which seems to be the logical conclusion.
FREDERICK KUH. London cor-mpondent of the Chicago Sun, totes that the real issue at the conference was "sphere of influence" ktween Britain and Russia, and not the question of "democracy" in the Balkans.
Kuh is right.
Britain wants to preserve its imperial power wherever she can, in the Balkans as well as in the Mediterranean and the Pacific. That's
the real issue.
On the other hand, Ruasia wants to expand its influence wherever her interests are. Today, Russia is the only great power in Europe, as is America in the Western Hemisphere. By no stretch of imagination «n Britain be classified v^ith the United States and Russia. 'Britain showed her weakness in this war when she was no longer able to protect her vast colonial empire. Russia, on the other hand, emerged as the dominant world power by mak-jnn the major contribution in de-icatinK Germany.
Speaking of the London confer-"><*. it is indeed encouraging to know that Russia is asking that Ju-loslavia, Czechoslovakia and Poland have their representatives at the future conference. All three of these countries, especially Jugoslavia, hkve «•«ne their share in helping to defeat 'hf common enemy—much more ">«n France. They should have a voice in the council!

The films were shown thru the auspices of the SNPJ executive committee and were obtained thru the courtesy of Chicago's Service Command Film Library and thru the mediation of the executive editor of the Chicago Sun. Tied A. Vtder made a short introductory address Vincent Cainkar made a plea for contributions toward Jugoslsv War Relief. The Perfect Circle girls dressed in Slovene costumes passed Out and collected the envelopes and we're told that nearly $450 was collected. Mozina orchestra furnished dance music.
Needless to say, the films were horrible. It made many of us sick to the stomach to see the awful marks of violence on those poor people who survived the awful ordeals. The tortures and finally death, the piling up of bodies— not like human beings—but like in a slaughter house. How, a person wonders, can auctt thing« take pluce in a civilised world ia beyond me. it's worae than barbaric. Even animals don't torture their victims.that way.
Quite prevalent in the films were the priests who were saying their last "rites" to these victims. Someone who eat in back of me commented, "They have to be everywhere," meaning the priests.

The Old Army Gsme
A few weeks ago, Governor Ktl-wurd Maitln of IVunaylvania hur-ic<1 to Washington to protest aguutat the passage of the proposed federal $10 foi 2ti weeks unemployment compensaUon bill.
The Governor argued tiutt unemployment compensation is u mutter for the resptH'llvc stutcs to decide. He loudly bemoaned the ut-tcmpt td the federal government to nter fields which he cluimcd were the rights of the states.
Congress deflated the propoeed bill, thanks to the atd of Gov Martin, und the votes of Republicans and reactionary southern Democrats In the upper house.
The net results are thut we have 4B separate unemployment compensation laws varying widely In their provisions.
IT IS AMUSING to see the Governor of Pennsylvania opposing a measure on the Issue of state's rights, when In the recent session of the legislature hie Itcutcmmta would plead on Ute Hour of the leg^ isluturc to have a certain mcaaure pUHscd on the ground to hi ing it "in line" with u federal measure,
This was invat lubly true with measures which would relieve corporations front some hmdens In most cases, (he federal luwe governing corporation* and big business were more stringent than Ute stale luws, but In a few instances (laws ptetscd by the Kurle's Administration) the state luwe were more harsh. Then the cry went up to "bring them In line" with the federal stututes.
But when we attempted to bring "lit line" certain sociul und labor measures of the state with the federal provisions, the lulls would lie promptly killed on the basis of state«' rights.

TRIESTE
By A. J. P. Taylor.
Fellow oi Magdalen College, Oxford, England „ In 1920, after the first German war, a frontier was established between Italy and Jugoslavia which offended against both national principles and economic sense. Now, after the second German war, the opportunity has come to retrise that frontier and to remedy the mistakes of 1920,
(Continued from laat week)
Just before 1914 it was inhabited by at least two writers of European importance, Svevo and James Joyce. It would be fanciful to find much of TlleelS in Ulyttet, though it must have been through Trieste .that Bloom reached Dublin.
The writings of Svevo contain the full spirit of "Trieste. Svevo's work is interesting for another reason. Though written in Italian (by no me ans the purest Tuscan), they have nothing in common with Italian literature, but are manifestly the work of a fellow-countryman of Schnitzler, In other words they are works of "Austrian" literature, which merely happen to be written in Italian, as Schnitzlcr's happen to be written in German. Both wrlU-rs felt as "Austrian" and, like many who felt so, both writers were Jews.
Trieste thus grew, par excellence, us un "Austrian" town, created for an Austrian Imperial purpose. It owed nothing to Italian effort. Like the Austrian Kinpire, it bad no national character. It certainly did not terve, could never nerve, any Italian economic need. So fur us it servod u national purpose, that purpose, again like the Austrian Empire, was German, not Itulian.
But, for convenience und c< rtain
hat not managed to reduce the Slo vene proportion to lets than it was in 1910. The Italians, in 1act, have had to exhaust every weapon of na tional oppression merely to tucceed in keeping their numbers from declining
The Austrian census of 1910 was the last free census, and also the last to take account of national character. It is therefore the only reliable basis on which to judge the national cmoposition of these disputed areas.
It is not without faults. The Census in the towns was taken by the municipal authorities, and these were still predominantly Italian.
The first count in Trieste found only 36,000 Slovenes: A revision made by the Imperial authorities brought the number up to 50,6000. In the other towns the figures were not revised. Further, the figures could give only the national balance as it exisUxl in 19)0; they could not allow for the process of Slovene-awakening which was going on at an even faster rate.
Grouping together ull the Jugoslav territory acquired by Italy in 1920, und udding the fifty thousand Slov< nes already in Ituiy before 1914, there were ultogether 588,331

herited from the Republic of Venice, und this at a time when the Slovenes of the surrounding countrysid" were still a "submerged people." Therefore when Trieste started on its career of greatness, it started us un Itulian-speaking city, and remained predominantly so at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Thus its Italian language by no means meant that its inhabitants are predominantly Italian by descent. The few thousands Italians who had made up its total population at the beginning of the century wefa soon swamped by a flood of immigranta from the neighboring countryside, from the German lands further north, and from the levant. An Austrian enquiry of 1915 ascertained that more than half the population of Trieste was of Slovene descent, though two-thirds of the population considered themselves Italiuns.
A further element was of Croat descent. Add Germans and Jews (the most loyal of all Austrians), and there was little enough left of Italian blood. The mujoritv of the population certainly called them selves Italian. But they did thi.: rather at a mark of clant distinction than our of Italian patrwtitm. The "Italian" lawyer, clerk, or merchant was asserting his distinction from the unsklll<*d laborers who still ad-milted to Ixing Slovenes; not In the leuet was he demanding separation from the Austrian Empire and inclusion in Italy. That would have been, and eventually wat, hit economic nun.
The "Italians" voted together. But they did this rather us a party of in i d d I e-c lass interests, not on grounds of nationality. Even so, despite the majority who returned thunstlvcs as Italians (i. e„ Italian-speaking) in the Csntut, the Italian l>oliti(-ul party never won a majority vol« s. The inhabitants of Trieste simply were not Italians. They were ui that time Austrians. meaning by that c ontroversial word subjects of ill«- non-national llubshurg Empire, who *t>oke ltuliun only heruuse they had i<» speak something.

The southern half of the Istrian peninsula was inhabited, not by Slovenes, but predominantly by Croats, kindred Jugoslavs who were passing through the same process of nstional awakening. Bere, too, the Italians lived in coastal towns, above all in Pola, a great harbor important not as a commercial port, but as a base and construction center of the Austrian navy.
These figures give an unmistakable picture. The countryside wat
thirty years (from 1882 to 1915) the ally of Austria-Hungary In the Triple Alliance; just as membership of the Triple Alliance did not prevent Italian politics continuing to proclaim the grievance of Trieste.
Italy would never have gone to war for the sake of Trieste; yet when she went to war in 1915 Trieste inevitably provided the excuse. Italy wished to take part in the Four Year war in order to prove herself a Great Power, and she was anxious to sell herself to the highest bidder. The Germans were ready to bribe Italy with Hababurg territory, but they could not agree to their own exclusion from the Adriatic; they offered south Tyrol, but not Trieste.
England and France had no such hesitation. They believed that the unbreakable German front in France could be turned by an attack through Italy, and they were willing to pay almost any price, in terms of Habsburg territory, for Italy's entry into the war. They accepted Italy's claim to the "natural frontiers" of the Alps, and. knowing little or nothing of the national circumttances, hardly realized that they were agreeing to an act of national injustice. Even if they had, they would have argued that this was an inevitable sacrifice, worth making for the sake of a speedy victory.
Besides, the dissolution of Austria-Hungary was at this time no part of their program. They supposed that the Habsburg Empire would continue to exist, even though In diminished form; and since the Habsburgs were now the agents of Germany, it was reasonable to transfer Trieste and Pola to Italy in order to cut Germany off from the Adriatic.
The Treaty of London of April 1915 concluded the bargain between Italy and the Western Powers. Italy was promised the line of the Alps und the northern part of Dal-matia.
The only point not included in Italy's gains was Fiurae. This omission was not at all on grounds of justice. Fiume was technically part of Hungary; und as both the allies and Ituly cherished the illusion that u great Hungary would be a conter-poise ugainst Germany, they^eft to this imaginary friend the outlet on the Adriatic.
England and France made, no doubt, a bad bargain; still, they act-

An Appeal to All Jugoslav-Americans
NEW YORK. N Y—The American Association for Reconstruction in Jugoslavia, Inc., appeals to all Jugoslav Americans to take effective steps to aid the heroic people of Jugoslavia.
We are accustomed to thinking in terms of temporary relief, such as sending medicine and food. This form of aid is easential, but does not solve the long-term needs of the New Jugoslavia. To maintain its independence Jugoslavia must rebuild and, what is more important, expand its industries.
Democratic Federative Jugoslavia under the wise and courageous leadership of Marshal Tito is taking steps in this direction; scientists, engineers and technicians who only a few months ago were fighting the Nazi barbarians, have now laid aside their guns to take up a new battle —the battle of reconstruction. To this task they are applying the same courage and determination that brought them to victory over the Fascist invaders.
The reconstruction and expansion of Jugoslavia's industries will take all the energies of the whole nation and this cannot be done with bare hands. Machines, trucks, tools, and other equipment are needed.
Of vital importance are trained cadres of engineers and skilled workers. Many of Jugoslavia's best engineers and industrial workers have fallen in battle. These must be replaced and new ones trained to meet the challenge of the future.
The training of new engineers and technicians will take time, therefore, to fill the gap, Jugoslavia must obtain trained personnel from outside.
The American Association for'Reconstruction in Jugoslavia, Inc., will endeavor to fill this need by recruiting engineers and skilled workers for work in Jugoslavia. What is still more important is that they go over there with machines and tools.
An excellent example of this is the action of Mr. Jovo Samardzic of Detroit, Michigan, who has organized a cooperative of seven families to go to Jugoslavia with the aim of collectively cultivating land. This group has set aside about $25,000 with which they plan to buy trucks, tractors, and other agricultural equipment. In. writing to the association about his cooperative, Mr. Samardzic said, "In addition I woald like to state that we are all mechanic and we have all spent years in mass production. We do not intend to sleep on the farm during the Jyinter months, but plan to go to work in factories or wherever our work can be of most benefit to the New Jugoslavia."
Mr. Samardzic's cooperative is one of many that are being formed here in the U. S. and Canada. A movement like this on a large scale with thousands going to Jugoslavia taking with them, machinery, tools, and trucks would be of inestimable value, not only as direct technical aid but as a great moral aid. What greater contribution can we make to the heroic Jugoslav people than to bring them our machines and also our accumulated technicul experience!
The Americun Association for Reconstruction in Jugoslavia, Inc., will sponsor und give impetus to the establishment of cooperatives such as that formed by Mr. Samardzic. Hundreds of Jugoslav-Americans have expressed the desire to go to Jugoslavia with the intention of giving both physical and financial aid. Many of these are members of the association because they realize that their efforts will be more effective when merged than us single sporadic actions.
Thojie desiring to become members of the association should write to:	■
The American Association for Reconstruction in Jugoslavia, Inc., 465 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N. Y.
The association seeks to enroll in its ranks engineers, technicians, skilled workers of all categories, und others who desire to aid in this great task. We owe a great debt to the Jugoslav people and they need our help! Can you fail them? GEORGE MLADINICH, Executive Secretary.

Radio Address by Kuhel in Kansas
On Sept. 30, Lodge Bodotnost 408 SNPJ of Kansas City, Kans., celebrated its 25th anniversary with a fitUng program which included singing by the Women's Chorus of the Jugoslav Community Players, showing of the film Slovenia, and an address over radio station KC-KIN by Mirko Kuhel, supreme treasurer of SNPJ and secretary of SANC, who was introduced by Bro. Zvonimir Kvaternik. The text of his address follows:
I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to you tonight about one of the most heroic countries that fought on the side of America and her Allies, a country that has sacrificed 11% of her population in the struggle for freedom and democracy —1,700,000 lives laid down in order that her future generation may live in peace and security, free from fear and free from want—about Jugoslavia. '
Jugoslavia was attacked by the Axis parrtners, Hitler and Mussolini, early in April 1941. In ten days the Struggle was over . . . the Jugoslav army could not fight because her commanders gave orders not to fight; her planes could not fly because they were German-made planes and were not supposed to fly; her artillery could not fire because the ammunition dumps were misplaced; when they were finally located, the cases contained not shells and gunpowder, but plain sawdust and sand. The fifth column within the high command had sold out its country to the enemy. General Rupnik, Milan Nedil and other high officers, the most trusted of the corrupt lot, went over to the enemy. The king and his cabinet fled for safety, and the people were sold lock, stock and barrel to the enemy. Such was the tragedy of Jugoslavia early in 1941, when it seemed the whole world was falling apart. This was Jugoslavia's Pearl Harbor!
Yet something miraculous happened in this same tragic and forsaken spot of Europe, which defied Hitler's ultimatum to serve as a springboard for the attack against the Allies in Africa, even when it was certain Jugoslavia would have to pay a terrific price for wounding the pride of Der Fuehrer. Ten days after Jugoslavia was overrun by the enemy, the first liberation movement was organized in Slovenia, the northernmost part of the country. Thousands of liberation committees sprang up all over the land, fighting the enemy barehanded, snatching his arms and supplies, blowing up bridges and communications and making him pay a costly price for every inch of the land which Hitler thought was already in his grasp. Thus was laid the foundation for the famous Jugoslav National Liberation Front under the leadership of Marshal Tito, whose name will forever adorn the history of Jugoslavia.
Tito's divisions and brigades at one time held back as many as 25 crack German divisions, preventing Hitler from finishing off Montgomery's British army In North Africa, and upsetting his time-table for the attack against the Soviet Union. What that meant for the Allied cause, only high military experts can tell. And the Soviet Union also remembers that those precious ten weeks lost by Hitler in Jugoslavia meant the saving of Moscow in the winter that followed, and the end of Nazi penetration to the East.-
The Jugoslav National Army of Liberation and Partisan Detachments was not meant to be only a military organization, but a political as well. Its program called not only for active resistance against the enemy, but also for political reorganization of the State, for the establishment of a democratic people's government based on federal principles, in which the people would be the rulers, and not only the ruled, as heretofore. They began building the structure from the bottom up. by electing officials from the people by means of free and secret ballot in all the liberated territories. These representatives of the masses became the rulers over the army in all matters dealing with the civic and political life of the country.
In 1943, while Jugoslavia was still surrounded on all sides by the enemy, the first people's parliament within the Hitler's European fortress was held in the town of Jajce in Bosnia. Over 500 delegates from every corner of the country, some t aveling hundreds of miles through the enemy lines, attended this congress. Preliminary national laws were passed, providing the prere-; quisite machinery for the dcmocra-| tic functioning of the struggling country.
One of the most important laws i was the declaration of the Rights of Man. similar to our own in America. freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, voice, assembly, and press, regardless of race, color or j cn-ed, the univeraal suffrage for men and women of 18 years and i older, and including the members of the army regardleas of age or sex.
Jugoslavia feels that thoae who are old enough to fight and willing to die for their country, are old enough to have the right to vote and voice in its administration. Thus, for the first time in its history Ju- 1 goslavia received a democratic elec- i tion law by which the women and the army are allowed to vote.
