Kuhar Administration in dreamland Editor: I would like to thank you and the staff for the magnificent job you are doing in weekly reports on the situation in Slovenia. I know that it takes a lot of time over and beyond duties of weekly printing of the paper; that’s why I am sure that I speak for many Raders of Ameriška Domovina when I say ‘Boglonaj” (May God bless you). That one reader who discontinued the subscription a while ago because he is not interested in the ‘old country,” jnust be living in the past... Just as George Bush is, which brings me to the reason for this letter. The person who, in the letter to the editor a couple of weeks ago, said that we should not blame our government, nor the Republican party for being so stubborn in not recognizing Slovenia - was one hundred Percent right. It is Mis administration that is in dreamland. It is t/iis administration that said, ‘‘We 'V‘H not reward nor encourage” the breakaway [^Publics of Yugoslavia. It is THIS president who used the excuse of not encouraging the break-up of the Soviet Union, when he kept delaying recognizing Slovenia and Croatia as a precedent. Now, the people of the USSR themselves told the world they want their independence also, and they are now being recognized. And President Bush himself recognizes them. But he is STILL NOT doing the same for our motherland, Slovenia. I would like to ask him, ‘‘Where’s the beef?” We don’t have any disputes about borders with anyone. We do not discriminate against any minorities. We do not attack any neighboring country with MIGS, nor print money at someone else’s expense. So, will someone in Washington please explain to us the logic to this insensitivity? I remember very well during his last term, President Ronald Reagan kept avoiding answering the reporters questions of when will he endorse George Bush. I had the distinct impression then that he did not like the idea and was postponing it as long as he could. But when President Bush came out the first time with the phrase, ‘‘New World Order,” the pic- ture of these guys in uniforms with crooked crosses on their sleeves 47 years ago came to my mind. Then, when Gorby used the very same words, I thought to myself, “Oh, oh!” I would like to urge the readers of this paper to do everything they can to encourage the general public in voting for the man who has ALWAYS spoke in favor of democratic republics of Slovenia and Croatia, even though he himself is not of Slavic heritage, and that man is Patrick Buchanan. Let us make “The Chair” sway a little toward the right, where he claims he sits.

Debevec Representatives from every age spectrum converged to St. Mary’s school auditorium last Sunday for the delicious Slovenian School benefit dinner. Conversation quickly turned from catching up on family matters to the situation in Slovenia. “How can the greatest democracy in the world ignore the country of Slovenia which is trying for US recognition as another democratic country?” Tom Štepec asked. Joe Cerer, sitting across, was also puzzled. “It’s not logical,” he said. Another subject the two young men were in harmony with is that within 10 years Slovenia will be one of the great industrial nations in Europe. “They have the mentality to be smart business people,” said Cerer. His wife, Josie agreed. At the weekly meetings of the United Americans for Slovenia (UAS) everyone is also stumped as to why America was not one of the first to recognize Slovenia. “There’s something wrong somewhere,” said Edmund Turk, chairman. “It just doesn’t make sense.” Now that 45 countries have welcomed Slovenia, the US becomes one of the last to offer official diplomatic recognition. This is indeed a strange position for a superpower dedicated to “human rights” and who welcomed East Germany, Lithuania, Ukrania, and Russia. Rumor has it that there is internal disagreement within the State Department on this issue. The newer members are urging recognition of Slovenia. It’s become an embarassment as to why they have failed to do so up to now. What’s the problem? It was broadcast this week in Europe, that the United States will recognize Slovenia by the end of this month. That is a rumor that has not been verified or the spokesman identified. The UAS is preparing another quarter-page ad in the Washington Post urging the US to acknowledge Slovenia. Maybe the President isn’t aware of Slovenia; he never mentions the country. Is the situation over there getting through to him? The UAS has selected Lincoln’s birthday, February 12 as a national call the White House Comments Line day (l-202)-456-l111)urging the President to recognize the country of Slovenia. EVERY SLOVENIAN in the US is asked to participate. The President does pay attention to the Comments Line numbers. Maybe we should send out best lawyer to Washington to reason with him. Explain to the President that Slovenia is not Slovonia, and it is not Slovakia. It is a country on the northwestern part of the Adriatic Sea and is capable of becoming a successful industrial-agricultural democracy. The UAS and a great many other persons have been telephoning Congressmen and Senators urging them to get on the bandwagon before the train pulls out of the station. There will also be a mailing to them and all Slovenian organizations throughout the country urging active support for Slovenian recognition. The time is right; the time is now; — but time is of the essence because without US backing, the Slovenian economy is going down the tubes — FAST! With Congress back in session this week, it is imperative that we contact our Representatives and ask them to support all Resolutions before Congress for support of recognition of Slovenia. Call the Comments Line NOW! Call your representative NOW! We love the United States and we don’t want to be the last in line to welcome an ally and wholesome emerging democratic nation. Every successful businessperson has one dominant rule, and that is “Nothing Happens.” Every prosperous business venture comes about through some effort on the part of the proprietor. Likewise every Slovenian Mother adhers to the same philosophy, “Nothing Happens.” She dedicates much of her life and efforts to helping her children succeed. There is not an accomplished Slovenian who cannot say that somewhere down the line their Mother was a positive influence in their lives. That is why Slovenian mothers are winners! They become involved in the lives of their offspring. Well, the same thing goes for Slovenia. If we sit back and do nothing, that is a loser’s attitude. If we want Slovenia to emerge successfully, we must make that happen by becoming actively involved. It is not too late to Recognize Slovenia. It is never too late to do the right thing! ANNUAL MEETING Membership Certificate Holders of the Slovenian National Home 6417 St. Clair Avenue SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1992 In the annex of the Slovenian National Home, 2 p.m. — PLEASE ATTEND — aai pfflK M'DRE.CR HESS by John metxlna 3224 EUCUD AVE, # 101, CLEVELAND, OHIO 4411S aagana The bible speaks of the "bread of life" and the research has shown that bread has been made from wild wheat and barley already in the Stone Age. Old Slovenian "babice" and "mamice" have been baking bread for centuries in the old "peč". The smell, aroma and taste of the freshly-baked bread arouses in the Slovenians the feeling of warmth and love. As a young child, I remember being taught to kiss the bread if it fell on the ground, and then eat it. I remember the smell of bread around the Simončič and the Nosan bakeries and the pleasure that it brought to the whole family when the fresh “štruca” arrived. Some of you survived on "kruh" and "voda" during the Great Depression or during the World War II. Next time you eat the bread, remember the words in the prayer... *i»l 1® TflHB ID1!? (DUB MsIRff Glenn responds to Androjna letter Judge Pryatel writes regarding Slovenia Editor: Now that Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Iceland, Malta, San Marino, Sweden, Denmark and Canada have granted Slovenia’s application for recognition, and Britain and France are preparing to do the same — surely the United States, as the cradle of democracy, will join the parade and recognize Slovenia and bring to its citizens, the blessings of independence that our country has enjoyed for over two hundred years. August Pryatel, Judge, Court of Appeals, 8th Dist. (semi-retired) ‘No Comment’ quote explained Editor, My listing in the comments (last week) as “No comment” hopefully didn’t have a negative connotation with your readers. Didn’t know you’d print that. I said “no comment” to Mary thinking to let the others make their commentary as I have access to the daily radio to do the same. My name and pictures appear all too frequently. Please remind everyone that we continue to give our coverage on WELW and WCPN daily. Thanks, Tony Petkovšek (radio personality) Donation Sirs: Please accept the ($25.00) donation enclosed in appreciation for your publication of our events, news articles and meeting notices. Sincerely yours, St. Vitus Alumni, Mathias Perpar, pres. Senator John Glenn sent a letter dated December 18 to Drago Androjna of Euclid, Ohio responding to concerns written about Slovenia. In part Glenn says: I condemn the Yugoslav federal army’s attacks on Croatia and its defiance of European Community (E.C.) and United Nations (U.N.) attempts to arrange a cease fire. A permanent cease fire followed by direct negotiations is the only way to end the Yugoslavian civil war. The United States must adamantly and openly support U.N. and E.C. efforts to achieve this end. . Having previously stated its intention to follow the E.C. lead, the U.S. is now apparently retreating from its statements, particularly with respect to E.C. economic sanctions and recognition initiatives. I support sanctions against Serbia, and co-sponsored S. 1793. This legislation would impose a trade embargo against Serbian controlled areas of Yugoslavia and restrict assistance to Serbia until that republic ceases its armed conflict with the other Yugoslav republics, holds free elections, ends human rights violations, institutes economic reforms, and agrees to respect the internal borders established under the 1974 Yugoslav National Constitution. I have also supported resolutions condemning the actions of the Yugoslav federal army and calling for a process leading to recognition of Croatia and Slovenian independence.

Our forefathers developed the means for financing war, regulating trade, and the system for diplomatic relations with other countries. By July 4, 1776, our “Declaration of Independence” began to serve this nation with “unalienable rights; among them, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, driving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that, whenever <*ny form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such Principles, and organizing its poivers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be charged for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the °rms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute depotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide hew guards for their future scurity,” ^ our own natjon declared these “truths to be self-evident, and that all men are created equal.” does the Presiden ,e United States inter ese truths and equalil Was there not immediate 1 recognition for the countries °f Russia? The 1974 Constitution of Yugoslavia established under President Tito, guaranteed each of the republics the right to secession. The plebiscite vote determined 88°/o of the voters in Slovenia preferred to secede from the “Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.” Exercising their unalienable right to secession the people of Slovenia guided by, a democratically elected leadership, persevered the yoke of oppression, adhered to the International Laws and additional constraints enacted by the European Community, disclosing to the world their courage, tenacity, and inalienable right to “independence.” To date 45 countries have recognized the independent Republic of Slovenia. Thousands upon thousands of letters, petitions, postcards, telephone calls, and faxes have been sent to the White House, Congress and the Senate by U.S. citizens, to encourage recognition of Slovenia, yet our plea for recognition of the new bom democracy goes unaswered. If the United States of America is the world’s greatest advocate of democracy, why doesn’t our President recognize the Republic of Slovenia? What has happened to the meaning of the word “Democracy” under the Bush Administration? Are we not, “a government of the people, by the people, and for all the people?” As a U.S. citizen, I am confused when the President tells us that he is concerned about the loss of jobs, while 45 other countries of the world raced into Slovenia to establish embassies, business offices, and offer expertise for strategic and technical support, the economic sanctions levied on Yugoslavia by the U.S., blocks our ability to work in the Republic of Slovenia. The President’s lack of U.S. recognition of the Republic of Slovenia is resulting in a loss of billions of dollars in developmental work, and U.S. loss of the marketing edge to those 45 countries of the world that have already granted recognition to the Republic of Slovenia. To the President of the United States, I wish to say, the people of the Republic of Slovenia are not rebels or dissidents. Mr. Klaus Hor-barth, the Vice President of the European Bank for Vladimir M.

Eckart on January 2 wrote the following letter to President George Bush: As you are aware, the map of the world is rapidly changing. New republics are being formed and the struggle to achieve independence and economic freedom is growing. On December 25, 1991 you announced that the United States officially recognizes the independence of each of the 12 states of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). I commend your actions in this regard and ask that you also consider recognizing the republics of Slovenia and Croatia, republics of what was once Yugoslavia. The country of Yugoslavia, like the former USSR, is essentially defunct. The republics of Slovenia and Croatia formally declared their independence months ago. With regard to Slovenia and Croatia, to date, the policy of Adamič retiring Our long time faithful Ameriška Domovina paper delivery person Mrs. Pavla Adamič of E. 156 St., will be retiring after a long and faithful term of service to her customers and the American Home.

In Memory Alois Galič of Milwaukee donated $40.00 to the Ameriška Domovina in memory of his brother-in-law, Martin Žužek of Florida. your Administration has been to follow the lead of the European Community. As you are no doubt aware, Germany has officially recognized Slovenia and Croatia, and the rest of the European Community will do so by January 15, 1992. In keeping with your Administration’s policy, it would be appropriate for the United States to recognize these two republics at this time. Recognition by the United States would have a powerful impact on ending the violence and bloodshed there. I urge your immediate attention to this crucial matter and look forward to your response.

Recent Deaths CARST-NAGY Memorials 15425 Waterloo Rd. 481-2237 “Serving the Slovenian Community.’ General Lekson, the son of Slovenian immigrants, was born in Fairport, Ohio in 1917. After a brief return to Slovenia, he was raised in Cleveland where he graduated from Western Reserve University with a B.S. in Education. He taught briefly in the Cleveland Public School System before beginning his military career in 1940 by enlisting in the National Guard as a Private. Comm-missioned via Officers Candidate School, Lekson rose to the rank of Major during WWII. Throughout the war he served with the 82nd Airborne Division including the 504th Parachute Infantry. He fought in North Africa, Italy, Holland and Germany, including the Battle of the Bulge. In Vietnam he served as Assistant Commander of the 9th Infantry Division and the 101st Airborn Division during 1967-68. His service in both wars earned him numerous decorations, including the Distinguished Service Medal, the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star. His tours in peacetime military included service in Austria and Italy and two tours in Korea. His final assignment was as Director of Operations for the Readiness Command - the predecessor of Central Command (CENT COM) of “Desert Storm’ fame.

Ponovno am želim srečno in milosti Polno novo leto 1992. Bog Vas 2*Vi! An/lral Brat Rafael Mrzel s Filipinov piše 20. decembra: »Iskreno pozdravljeni po Brezmadežni, na katere praznik smo salezijanci obogateli z lepim darom 12 novomašnikov. Bilo je zelo lepo praznovano, čeprav v okviru uboštva. Hude naravne nesreče so prizadele ogromno škode. Kljub prizadevanju dobrotnih organizacij, posebno svetovne Caritas, je stanje zelo kritično. Da moremo pomagati bednim se vse ekonomizira in je pritr-govanje povsod čutiti. Letos mi je korespondenca v celoti zelo zaostala. Pero mi kljubuje, se boljše počutimm pri vsakdanjem delu, kjer ostajam skoro kot navadno, med najbednejširni v okolici. Imam pa otekle gležnje in hitro sem utrujen. Z voščili sem pozen. S spominom v molitvi pa ne. Vam in vsem dragim v MZA želim blagoslova polno Novo leto 1992. Slabše zdravje me vodi k potrpljenju in k delovanju na svojski način, po volji Njega, ki nam daje kakor je za nas najboljše v božje slavo in blagor bližnjega. Z najlepšimi pozdravi v Don Bosku in Mariji Brezmadežni hvaležni brat Rafael Mrzel. Najlepše pozdrave tudi gdč. Sonji Ferjan!« Brat Mrzel je v pismu priložil nekaj lepih filipinskih čet-vorčkov v novih znamkah. MZA pomoč v čeku za $500 smo mu poslali za leto 1991 okrog Božiča.

Misijonarju Jožetu Šomnu v Zairu smo po njegovi želji in navodilu poslali ček za $500 na prokuro lazaristov v Louvain, Belgija. Gospodu Tonetu Pačniku istotam pa tudi na njegovo željo na prokuro Van Scheut misijonarjev v Bruslju, Belgija, delež $500, ki mu gre za 1991.
