LXXXVII Doma in po svetu PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV Reagan dejal, da sandinistični režim v Nikaragvi mora iti — Gospodarstvo ZDA doseglo najboljši napredek vse od leta 1951 WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sinoči je imel predsednik Reagan tiskovno konferenco v Beli hiši. Začel jo je z izjavo o gospodarskem napredku ZDA v 1. 1984. Dejal je, da je ameriško gospodarstvo zabeležilo najboljše rezultate vse od leta 1951. Napredek od 1. 1983 je bil namreč 6,9%, leto 1951 pa je bil boljše od 1. 1950 kar za 8,3%, vendar je takrat vplivala na napredek začetek korejske vojne, je pripomnil predsednik. Odlični gospodarski napredek lani kaže, da je politika njegove adminstracije pravilna, jp dejal Reagan, in jo namerava nadaljevati tudi v drugi mandatni dobi. Novinarji so se zanimali za Reaganovo stališče do Nikaragve in do protisandinisti-čnih gverilcev. Predsednik je odgovoril, da so bili sandinisti le del splošne vstaje zoper režim gen. Anastasia Somoze, ko pa je revolucija uspela, so sandinisti odstranili demokratično misleče sile in ustanovili komunistični režim, tako, kot je to storil na Kubi Fidel Castro. Zaradi tega nimajo sandinisti nobene pravice do oblasti, je nadaljeval Reagan, in bodo ZDA še podpirale tiste demokratične sile, ki želijo demokracijski politični sistem v Nikaragvi. O njegovi politiki do ameriških farmarjev, katerih se mnogi nahajajo v hudi ekonomski stiski, je Reagan dejal, da bo njegova administracija najbolj prizadetim farmarjem skušala pomagati, da pa načelno še vedno nasprotuje vladnemu vmešavanju v agrikulturi. Mnogi farmarji so sedaj namreč tako zadolženi, da bodo prisiljeni svoje farme prodati in zapustiti kmetijstvo. Nezadovoljstvo do Reaganove agrarne politike je torej precejšnja v mnogih poljedelskih državah, zaskrbljeni so seveda kongresniki in senatorji, ki predstavljajo te države v zveznem kongresu in ki bodo morali pred volicve prihodnje leto. Sovjeti bodo dovolili preglede nekaterih njihovih jedrskih elektrarn - Prvi korak k obsežnejšemu sodelovanju? DUNAJ, Avstrija — Včeraj je ZSSR Podpisala sporazum z Mednarodno agencijo za jedrsko energijo, da bodo mogli strokov-ajaki te agencije priti v ZSSR in pregledati nekatere jedrske elektrarne. To je prvič, da so Sovjeti dovolili kaj takega. Nekateri zahodni opazovalci sovjetske politike menijo, da gre predvsem za propagando, in da bodo strokovnjaki videli le nekatere starejše jedrske elektrarne, ne pa sodobnejše ali tiste, ki jih Sovjetsi sedaj gradijo. Prav tako ne bodo videli nobenih elektrarn oziroma naprav, ki so povezane s sovjetsko vojaško industrijo. Pogodba iz leta 1970, ki so jo Sovjeti včeraj Podpisali, sicer ne predvideva pregledov elektrarn, ki obratujejo za vojaške namene. Takšne elektrarne imajo poleg Sovjetov tudi ZDA, Francija, Anglija in Kitajska. Kitajci Še niso omenjene pogodbe podpisali. Včeraj ZDA vrnile Kubi 23 Kubancev, ki so prišli v Združene države pred 5 leti -Vseh skupaj bo vrnjenih Kubi 2700 oseb MARIETTA, Ga. — Včeraj je posebno letalo vrnilo Kubi 23 kubanskih državljanov, ki so prišli v ZDA pred 5 leti preko tako imenovanega »morskega mostu«. Takrat je v ZDA prišlo več kot 100.000 Kubancev, med njimi par tisoč kriminalcev in duševno obolelih, katerih se je hotel kubanski samodržec Tidel Castro na ta preprost način znebiti, ^eh skupaj je bilo kakih 2700 takih prise- ljencev, ki so bili zadnja leta večinoma v raznih zaporih in umobolnicah po ZDA. Po dolgotrajnih pogajanjih, so ZDA in Kuba 14. decembra lani podpisale sporazum, bo katerem bo Kuba sprejela nazaj od 100 do 150 teh Kubancev, v zameno bodo pa ZDA zopet začele dovoliti naselitev v ZDA od 20.000 do 30.000 Kubancev. ZDA so bile ustavile sprejemanje teh »legalnih« priseljencev. Odhod Kubancev, ki so jih morale ZDA vzdrževati v zaporih in umobolnicah, bo prihranila zvezni vladi okoli 41 milijonov dolarjev na leto, je dejal pravosodni tajnik William French Smith. V zadnjem času govori Castro pomirjevalno o ZDA. V teku so pogajanja med Angolo in Južno Afriko, po katerih naj bi kubanski vojaki čez čas zapustili Angolo. V Reaganovi administraciji so pa zelo previdni do Castra in še vedno trdijo, da Kuba pošilja vojaško pomoč Nikaragvi in gverilcem v El Salvadorju. Tudi Margaret Thatcher kritična do stališča Nove Zelandija glede jedrskega orožja - Zadovoljna z obiskom v ZDA WASHINGTON, D.C. — Na včerajšnji tiskovni konferenci ob zaključku njenega obiska v ZDA, je angleška premierka Margaret Thatcher kritizirala Novo Zelandijo, ker ta država ni pripravljena dovoliti prihoda v hjene vode bojnih ladij svojih zaveznic, na katerih utegne biti jedrsko orožje. Tako kot ZDA, tudi Anglija ne b6 povedala novozelandski vladi, katere bojne ladje imajo jedrsko orožje. Priznala je, da nima odgovora na vprašanje, kaj storiti v zvezi z rekordno močnim ameriškim dolarjem, ki povzroča težave za Anglijo in druge države. Glede pogajanj o omejevanju oboroževalne tekme med ZDA in ZSSR je Thatcherjeva predlagala, naj bi ZDA skušale imeti več stikov z najvišjimi sovjetskimi voditelji. Dejala je, da je s svojim obiskom in s pogovori s predsednikom Reaganom zadovoljna. Med obiskom ni kritizirala Reaganove politike, čeprav je to že ponovno storila v govorih v Angliji, - Kratke vesti - Tokio, Ja. — Nobuo Matsunaga, ki bo kmalu prišel v ZDA kot novi japonski poslanik, je dejal v govoru včeraj, da je japonsko gospodarsko tako močno, da mu ZDA in zahodnoevropske države sploh niso več kos. Zaradi tega so tako močni pritiski predvsem v ZDA za povišanje tarif. Brez take umetne podpore, je dejal Matsunaga, ameriška industrija sploh ne more konkurirati z uvoženimi japonskimi predmeti. To stanje mora Japonska razumeti in ustrezno ukrepati. Splošno povišanje tarif po svetu bi bi hud udarec mednarodnemu trgovanju in mednarodni ekonomiji sploh, je dodal. Moskva, ZSSR — Sovjetska sredstva javnega obveščanja nadaljujejo z napadi na ameriški načrt za razvoj sistema obrambe, ki bo uporabil vesolje. Uradna agencija Tass je objavila članek, ki ga je napisal kremeljski predstavnik za tisk Leonid Zamjatin, v katerem je Zamjatin trdil, da bodo Sovjeti razvili ustrezno obrambo zoper »star wars« sistem ZDA. V teku je volivna kampanja v ZSSR. Izvoljen bo namreč nov vrhovni sovjet, parliament, zato podajajo vodilni politiki govore. Najnovejši znak, da je načelnik kom. partije Konstantin Černenko res zelo bolan, je prišel danes, ko so sporočili, da ne bo imel govor v svojem volilnem okrožju v Moskvi.

Read and reflect on the ^ across the following poem by words and then ask yourself oo< Simon Jenko, and I couldn’t Hie question, Is this true to > help but think, Is this true to fact? a SLOVENE ANNALS I brood upon our people’s dole, And bitter grief pierces my soul. They utterly unknown abide, None ever speaks of them with pride. Other peoples have enscrolled The deeds of their renown in gold. Yet whether old or new, there’s naught In token of deeds our people wrought. Who recalls those of yore, who rest now buried in this earth unblest? The sorry grandson in silent gloom Treads on his sorry forebear’s tomb. And when the hour strikes for us in die. In the black earth we, too, shad lie. Who by our deaths will be bereaved? Who will acclaim what we achieved? Our annals are a tong array Of generations in decay. They utterly unknown abide; None ever speaks of them with pride. O < > T1 m co co c > 00 k: N) N3 CO 00 U1 Maybe not totally true, but in good measure it is. Except in areas where there is a large Slovenian population, people do not know what is Slovenian, who these people are, where they came from or what they have contributed to history. Many have never heard the name Slovenian, and some who have heard still mistake it for other Slav nationalities. This is why I feel the Slovenian Miners and Laborers Memorial is so important for our day and for future generations. Many of our Slovene societies, clubs and churches are experiencing changes and some major problems. What will be left in the year 2000? It will not be what is today, just as today is far different from 50 years ago. “None ever speaks of them with pride.” “Who will acclaim what we achieved?” The Slovenian Miners and Laborers Memorial will be a lasting art piece that will let people today and future generations know that we are a people with pride. We are proud of our contribution to America through the efforts of hard work, honesty and integrity by thousands of men and women in mines, mills and Simon Jenko factories. The final stage of the memorial is now being worked on. The total memorial of the painted mural, bronze sculpture and mosaic will be set in place at the Iron Range Interpretative Center in Chilsholm, MN sometime in the Spring of 1986. Why the delay? The Interpretative Center is doing major expansion and the memorial can not be set in its permanent place until this expansion is completed. Therefore, our artist, Lillian Brule, has ample time to complete the mosaic and make final preparation details. Over $26,000 has been contributed so far and we will still need a few thousand dollars by January of 1986. If you have not yet contributed, as an individual or an organization, please do so in order that we let the world know that we do have pride in what we have achieved and contributed to this great nation. Contributions s:an be sent to: Slovenian Miners and Laborers Memorial c/o Slovenian Women’s Union of America, 431 N. Chicago St., Joliet, II. 60432. P.S. We could still use some small pieces of stone from out West. Roy G.

An enthusiastic crowd of over 700 persons attended the event last Sunday, Feb. 17, at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair. It should be noted that since 1979, over $30,000 has been raised for the Home. It began the first year at St. Mary’s Cafeteria. Then as the crowds grew larger, it was held twice at the Holmes Ave. Slovene Home, twice at Waterloo Home, once at Euclid Society Home on Recher Ave., and this year at the Slovenian National Home. In each of these events the halls were donated without charge by the respective Board of Trustees. Therefore the National Homes have really played a significant roll in the success of this event. It is most gratifying to see such great cooperation amongst all our people. We would like to thank the following who were wholeheartedly involved in the success of this benefit event: The Committee Father Tome, Gus Petelinkar, chairman, Joe Ferra, assistant chairman, John Fekete, Frank Urankar, Tony Sturm (entertainment coordinator), Agnes Legan, Dorothy Urankar, Stan Urankar, Virginia Trepal.
