Guam« 31. jul.—Ameriški ru-šilci so pripluli v Suruški zaliv, 80 milj južnozapadno od Tokija, in bombardirali mesto Šimizu. To se je zgodilo v momentu, ko je čez 1500 ameriških in britskih bojnih letal metalo bombe na japonska mesta na 400 milj dolgem obrežju. Bombe so porušile mnogo vojaških naprav in zanetile ogromne požare. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz poroča, da več ameriških bojnih ladij bombardira mesta na obrežju ob zalivu. Med temi sta rusilca Harrison in Schroeder. Dalje poroča, da se napadi iz zraka na Tokio in druga mesta nadaljujejo z nezmanjšano srditostjo. Bombe so uničile 65 japonskih letal, poškodovale 73, potopile sedem in poškodovale M parnikov. Glavni stan generala Dougla-si AiacArthurja v Manili, Filipini, je naznanil nove bombne napade na japonska mesta na otoku Kiušn in Korejo. On je opozoril Japonce, da se bo bombardiranje mest in industrijskih središč poostrilo. MacArthur poroča, da so ameriški letalci napadli japonskega letalonosca pri Kureju, morna-rični bazi, in ga poškodovali. Drugi ro j i ameriških letal so po-'"pili m poškodovali 20 japonskih ladij in parpikov na morju ni cd Kiušom in Korejo. Japonci oklopna ladja Haruna je bila težko poškodovana v napadu.

Prve so dospele do točke, ki je oddaljena deset milj od Dongdonga, obmejnega mesta. Druge kitajske kolone se bližajo Cennakwanu, kjer se nahaja močna japonska vojaška posadka. Operacije kolon podpirajo ameriška bojna letala z bombardiranjem japonskih pozicij. Nadaljnje kitajske vojaške enote čistijo ozemlje pri Kwei-linu, glavnem mestu province Kvvangsi, ki je padlo v nedeljo. Ostanki japonskih sil se nahajajo na severni strani mesta. San Francisco, Cal.. 31. jul.— Vodilni tokijski list Asahi je ostro napadel vlado premierja Suzukija. Očita ji med drugim, da zanemarja narodno obrambo, ki bi morala biti osnovana na prednostni bazi. Dalje ji očita, da ni storila ničesar za zaščito japonskih mest in industrijskih središč, ki so tarča bombardiranja iz zraka in morja. Značilno je, ker je list napadel vlado potem, ko je Suzuki zavrnil ultimat Amerike, Veliki? Britanije in Kitajske z zahtevo, naj Japonska brezpogojno kapitulira, če noče biti popolnoma uničena. Morgenthau razkril vzroke odstavke Truman zahteval, naj resignira New York. N. Y.—Bivši za-kladmški tajnik Morgenthau je razkril poročevalcem, da je pustil zakladniški urad potem, ko mu je predsednik svetoval, naj resignira. To se je zgodilo 5. julija, četudi bi bil rad ostal v službi do zaključenja vojne z Japonsko. "Resignacija se ni izvršila po moji volji," je rekel Morgenthau pred člani newyorškega vojngea finančnega odbora. "Moja služba, ki sem jo vršil zadnjih 12 let pod briliantnim vodstvom predsednika Roosevelta, se je končala z njegovo smrtjo." Pozneje je na vprašanja poročevalcem izjavil, da ga je Truman pismeno obvestil, naj resignira, kar je takoj storil. Ko je Truman naznanil Morgenthaur jevo resignacijo, je dejal, da je njegov odhod iz zakladniškega departmenta "velika izguba". Truman je rekel Morgenthauju, "da resnično obžaluje, ker se je odločil, da je prišel čas, da se razbremeni odgovornosti kot zakladniški tajnik." Naslednji dan je Bela hiša naznanila, da bo Truman imenoval Vinsona za njegovega naslednika. Morgenthau je izjavil, da ne obžaluje .odhoda iz urada. "Ko so včeraj zjutraj prerezali telefonske žice z Belo hišo v moji spalnici, sem se počutil, da sem spet svoboden," je dostavil. V načrtu ima, da skonča knjigo o Nemčiji, ki se bo nanašala na njegov načrt za kontrolo pod-jarmljene Nemčije.

Jul.—Za kl j učen je konference velike trojice v Pots-damu je bilo nepričakovano odloženo zaradi novih komplikacij, ki so pretrgale plenarne seje. Stroga cenzura, ki zakriva razplet, je bila po«»štrena. Cenzura je vzrok, da javnost ne izve, zakaj se je konferenca zavlekla. Dogodki se ne vrše po načrtu, to pa ni pomeni, da je nekaj narobe. Načrt je določal za ki j učenje konference ta teden z objavo važne deklaracije. Vest iz zanesljivega vira pravi, da bodo predsednik T ruma n, premier Stalin in premier Attlee obnovili razgovore danes popoldne. Konferenca je bila že dvakrat pretrgana. Prvič je bila pretrgana, ko sta Churchill in Eden odpotovala v London tik pred objavo naznanila o izidu splošnih volitev, pri katerih je bila njuna konservativna stranka strahovito poražena. Drugič je bila pretrgana, ko je Clement Attlee, vodja angleške delavske stranke in novi premier, dospel v Potsdam. Pred objavo naznanila, da se je konferenca nepričakovano zavlekla, so se slišale trditve, da se bo zadnja faza razgovorov nanašala na rešitev evropskih pro blemov in vojno proti Japonski Glavni problemi se tičejo vojaške okupacije NemiMje, Avstrije in drugih deiel. Zaradi stroge Carter za angleške delavce Ministri sestavljajo prestolni govor*- London. 31. jul.—Mnenje prevladuje, da bo kralj Jurij v govoru, ko se bo pričelo zasedanje novega parlamenta 15. avgustu, naznanil ne samo namene legi-slativnega programu delavske vlade, temveč tudi čarter zu angleške delavce. Člani vlade že sestavljajo prestolni govor, čigar vsebino pa bo moral odobriti premier Clement Attlee, ko se bo vrnil v London iz Potsdama, kjer se vrši konferenca velike trojice, preden bo predložen kralju. Doznava se, da bo govoru sledilo izvajanje programa delavske strank«, ki je zmagala z ogromno večino pri parlamentarnih volitvah. Program določa med drugim podržavljanje glavnih industrij. Prva, ki pride na vrsto, je premogovna. Delavska vlada bo tudi izvajala načrt demobllisaci-je. Laboriti bodo imeli v novem parlamentu najmanj 389 Bede-žev, konservativna stranka pa m. Člani eksekutivnega odbora delavske stranke bodo danes imeli prvo sejo po volitvah. Med drugim bodo razpravljali o tesni zvezi med stranko in vlado. Ustanovljeni bodo posebni odse ki, katerim bo poverjeno reševa nje važnih problemov.

On je tudi naglasi), da okupacija avstrijskih krajev po četah štirih velesil povzroča konfuzijo, katera bo odpravljena le, ako ljudstvo dobi priliko, da si samo uredi svojo hišo. "Celo dobromisleči ljudje ne razumejo problemov Avstrije," je dejal.

Doznava se, da imajo zunanji ministri velesil dnevne seje. Trdi se, da temeljnih razlik glede načel ni. Vzrok, zakaj je bila cenzura poostrena, ni pojasnjen, kar povzroča različna ugibanja Pred naznanilom, da se bo konferenca zavlekla, je bilo razkrito, da so se Truman, Stulin in Attlee sestali v nedeljo in pon-deljek, ne pa predmet, o katerem so razpravljali. Vprašanje, ali bo Rusija slu v vojno proti predsednik francoske zbornice jonski, je zavito v tajnost pod tretjo republiko, je nastopil pričakuje se, da bo pred za- kot priča proti maršalu Petainu, kljuPenjem konference velika ki se mora zagovarjati pred so- trojica objavila deklaracijo z diščem na obtožbo izdajstva.

Čemu so anglo-ameriške vojaške oblasti storile ta korak, ni bilo nobenkrat pravilno pojasnjeno. Sigurno pa ta poteza ni ojačila prijateljstva med antifaiistkrni-mi elementi in zavezniškimi oblastmi. Ljudska sodišča je zgradila Osvobodilna fronta za slovensko Primorje, v kateri so bili zastopani ne samo Slovenci, temveč tudi antifašistični Italijani. Narod je imel priliko izraziti svojo žpljo potom svobodnih tajnih volitev in ozvoliti v odbore in v sodnijske urade take ljudi, katerim je zaupal in kateri so verovali v ljudsko pravico. Zavezniška intervencija je bila velika napaka, kajti zasejala je nemir, za katerega so odgovorni vsi drugi nego peščica ljudi, ki ni hotela tiho gledati tega incidenta. Oglasili so" se listi. Vsled tega so oblasti aretirale Jurija Jakšetiča, pomožnega komandanta jugoslovanske vojske za Trst in direktorja delavskega lista II Lavoratore. Ista usoda je zadela dva urednika lista Primorski Dnevnik. Narod je postal ogorčen. Organizirani delavci so okliaali protestno stavko za 24 ur. Nad 190,000 delavcev je zaštrajkalo v Trstu in Gorici. Pridružili so se jim tudi delavci v Tržiču ter večjih mestih v Istri. Iz Ljubljane se poroča, da je delegacija antifašističnih oragni-zacij za mesto Trst izdala sledečo izjavo o postopanju anglo-ameriške uprave: "Aretacije, katere so izvedli, smatramo za direktni napad in poskus disorganiziranja in zmešnjave pri dveh tržaških listih, II I^avoratore in Primorski Dnevnik. Aretacija direktorju lista I!

Obenem bi vus vprašali, du pod v za mete vse potrebne korake, da te probleme razrešijo kom|>etcntnc zavezniške oblasti čimprej mogoče.

Osvobodilni svtt, ki zastopa veliko večino prebivalstva Trsta, ima dolžnost posredovati pri anglo-ameriških vojaških oblasteh, da pospešijo rešitev teh problemov. Vse to je potrebna, da se zavaruje mir v našem mestu, in to zahtevajo vse demokratične in svobodoljubne množice, da se zavaruje obnovitev našega razrušenega gospodarstva." Osvobodilni svet mesta Trsta je poslal polkovniku Armstrongu sledeče pismo: "Osvobodilni svet mesta Trsta je prejel pismo od delegacije tintifašističnih demokratičnih organizacij. Delegacija prosi, da naš svet podpira njihovo zahtevo, zlasti še, ker je vaš uradnik izjavil, da je Osvobodilni svet edina kompelentna oblast glede te zadeve. Prilagamo prepis pisma od delegacije in prosimo za razgovor. Da bo mogoče objektivno poročati o gospodarski situaciji, je Osvobodilni svet povabil nu ta razgovor tudi zastopnike obrtnih zadrug."

Med drugim pravi: "... postopanje velikih zapad-nih sil v osvobojeni Evropi je diametrično v nasprotstvu z obljubami, ki so jih delale med vojno in katere ie vedno ponavljajo v uradnih izjavah in v tisku — o'svobodi, demokraciji, ljudski pravici do samoodločbe, uničenju ostankov fašizma, kaz-1 novanju vojnih zločincev itd. Na eni strani so pomembne besede, nu drugi pa dejanja, ki povzročajo čedalje večje nezaupanje v obsežna narodna vprašanja. Kaj drugega pa naj bi zavezniško stališče glede Grčije povzročilo, če ne nezaupanje—kjer so s pomočjo tankov in letal zopet prišli na krmilo isti fašistični elementi, ki so pomagali okupatorju? Kaj drugega kot nezaupanje naj bi pričakovali zavezniki od nas—po njihovem postopanju v Trstu, Gorici in na Koroškem, ali po njihovem nerazumljivem stališču, ki so ga zavzeli v zadevi vojnih zločincev, ali po grožnji proti miru v Grčiji? Toda jugoslovanske narode ne skrbi provokaeija grških fašistov kot ne skrbijo o bodočnosti Trs- ta, Gorice in Koroške, kajti poznajo trdnost in moč odpora našega naroda in ker vedo, da je pravica na naši strani. Nki jih ne straši dejstvo, da je raznim izdajalcem v inozemstvu dovoljeno voditi propagando. Skušali nam bodo delati potezkoče, toda nič ne more iztrgati od nas doprinosov naših zmag in nihče nas ne more vznemirjati z izzivanjem naših prijateljskih stikov z našimi sosednjimi demokratičnimi detežami . . . Ti reakcfcmarji se naj poučijo enkrat za vselej, da na Balkanu in v Evropi ni oobenih vplivnih sfer. Tu so samo svobodne ali nesvobodne dežele, demokratične države z ljudskimi vladami in driave, kjer so reakcionarni krogi- Na podlagi tega more biti mir na Balkanu zavarovan le tedaj, če se pusti balkanske narode pri miru ter če se velesile prenehajo igrati z usodo bslkanskih narodov ter če ne bo nadaljnih agresij."

Iz-ubHo je namreč dva člana, kar L nekaj nenavadnega za nas Anthony Lamovšekje bil ubit na bojišču v Francija meseca februarja, sedaj pa je umrl v bolnišnici v Latrobeju brat Jo-seph Škoda. | $ * Brat Škoda je bolehal več let, tončno pa ga ie rešila smrt velikega trpljenja. Prejšnja leta ko je bil bolj pri zdravju, je bil xelo agilen in naprednega mišljenja. Bil je dolgoletni član društva št. 318 SNPJ in večrat tudi predsednik. Oba pokojnika naj ostaneta v trajnem in častnem spominu, prizadetim pa izrekam globoko sožalje. Dne 15. julija se je vršil piknik vvestmorelundske federacije društev SNPJ v Beechwood parku. Dasi je vreme zelo strašilo in je ves čas deževalo, ko smo se peljali tja, vendar pa se je končno razvedrilo. Vsi smo nekam čudno gledali v oblake, čeprav bi bil dež potreben. Ko se je razvedrilo, so polagoma ljudje napolnili prostor v parku. Program je odprl brat Fradel, predsednik federacije. Kot prvi govornik je nastopil Anton Zor-nik, tajnik federacije. On je star govornik, toda mlad po idejah in duhu. Da bi se uresničile njegove besede in bi zavladala boljša družba po vsem svetu. Za Zornikom je bil poklican brat Michael Kumer, prvi glavni podpredsednik SNPJ. Mike je dober govornik, sedaj pa si je kot ameriški častnik še pridobil veliko znanja in izkušenj. On je i bil v vojaški službi v Evropi. Zadnji govornik pa je bil Još-ko Oven iz Chicaga. Dasiravno sem bila že nekoliko od stoje-nja utrujena, bi ga vseeno poslu-ia/a ii i poslušala. Takih govor-nikov potrebujemo bolj pogosto-ma med nami. Le žal, da tisti, na Krašovca in dr. Zoretu iz stare domovine. Po končanem programa bomo imeli ples, za katerega bo igral Kusarjev orkester iz Clevelanda. Pripravljalni odbor je pridno na delu ter bo skušal vsem najlepše postreči. V slučaju slabega vremena bomo imeli dovolj prostora v dvorani. Torej na gotovo in veselo svidenje v nedeljo, 5. avgusta. Za podružnico št. 51 SANSa: F. Smrdel. SKUPNA VESELICA V KORIST STARE DOMOVINE Red Lodgo, Mont.—Združena društva v Red Lodgeju in Bear-creeku bodo priredila piknik v nedeljo, 5. avgusta, na prostoru veselih bratov. Ves preostanek bo oddan v pomoč bednim v stari domovini. Društva, ki bodo sodelovala, so: št. 81 SNPJ, društvo HBZ, št. 58 ABZ in št. 112 SNPJ. Bratje in sestre in ostali Jugoslovani v tej okolici, vljudno ste vabljeni, da se gotovo udeležite tega piknika in pripomorete do boljšega uspeha. Ni mi potrebno pisati, kaj vse so prestali naši bratje in sestre v stari domovini, ker o njih trpljenju čitamo vsak dan. Upam, da se sleherni rojak in rojakinja udeleži te zabave v prosti naravi in s tem pokaže, da se zaveda svoje dolžnosti do svojih bratov in sester v stari domovini. Odbor, ki ima piknik v rokah, bo poskrbel, da bodo vsi posetni-ki zadovoljni. Imeli bomo pijačo, jedačo in seveda tudi ples. Na svidenje 5. avgusta. Za odbor: K. Ersnoinik.

Ona ""«•Ui priliko slišati Sta- MEST0-MEGAL0P0LIS Ne zgodi se prvič, da je moderno mesto podvrženo kritiki. Navadno se zdi, da ta posel ni zelo hvaležen. Skoraj povsod so tisti ljudje, ki jih je slišati, da so ponosni na "svoje" mesto, četudi postaja tako prilaŠčevanje tem bolj neumestno in smešno, čini bolj se razvija kupitulistična veleindustrija in postavlja zakone vsemu družabnemu življenju. Človek živi v New Yorku ali Chicagu pet let, pozna nekaj okolice, v kateri stanuje in ki navadno sploh ni ne New York, ne Chicago, ampak kakšna naselbina, deset do dvajset milj ali še bolj oddaljena od metropole, pozna železnico ali bus, s katerim se vozi na delo, nekoliko veletrgovin, tri, štiri kine in par restavracij ali '-kafeterij", pa se že napram vsakemu 'ipodeželanu" vede kot pravi New Yorčan ali Chicažan. Prihodnje leto bo nemara že kje v Frogtownu ali Shantyburghu. Pa ne bo več sla-yil čudovitosti velemesta, ampak bo začel pripravljati slavospeve življenju v mestu s širokim ob zorjem in odprtimi durmi. Prav lahko ga pa zadene tragikomična usoda, da bo zopet moral povezati culo in odriniti, nemara prav nazaj v metropolo, katero se je pravkar naučil prezirati. Mestu so postalu velika prenočišča, v katera prihajajo ljudje včasih za daljši, včasih za krajši čas, trajno prebivalstvo je pa razmeroma maloštevilno. Kakor ljudje, tako se pa menju vse, zunanje lice mestu, šege, vsa at-mosferu. In večinoma se vse to menju kakor nunese slučaj* brez načrta, brez pravilu, brez orga-ničnih zvez. Ogromni kupi hiš nastajajo, presekani z neskončno dolgimi ravnimi ulicumi, mogoče z mnogimi lepimi stavbami, ki pu izginejo v morju kumenju, stoje nu nepravih mestih in ne pridejo do veljave razen da prinašujo dobiček, če so časi dobri. Streljaj od ponosnega in razkošnega nebotičnika je pa skupina umazu-nih podrtij, iz katerih puhti smrad in sopuru bolezni, z nesnago po cestah in z zadušljivim dimom v zraku. In v njih žive člo-vešku bitja slabše kot je pračlo-vek živel v svojem brlogu. V te razmere je dotyo posvetil Lewis Mumford, čigar knjiga "The Culture of Cities" je izšla v založbi Hartcourt. Brace. Prvi del je namenjen vprašanju, kako je mesto funkcioniralo, odkar se je v zapudnem svetu začelo obnavljati v desetem stoletju Takrat je imelo svoje središče s Skoraj vsak korak, ki ga stori mesto, du bi zmanjšalo stisko, jo le puveča, Nove podtalne železnice v New Yorku vsipavajo vsak dan na milijone ljudi v središče mesta, ki ima s to trans-portacijo ogromno izgubo. Taku izboljšanja kot Wacker Drive v Chicugu, ki je veljal dva in dvajset milijonov za vsako miljo, avtomatsko povzročajo povišanje stanarin, ki se kapitalizira v obliki višjih zemljiških vrednosti in končni rezultat je ta, da ae izboljšanu cestu bolj intenzivno rubi in da se gneča poveča. V svoji kritiki rabi Mumford REVOLUCIJA "S PRIVOLJENJEM" Napisal Harold J. Laski (Profesor Laski je predsednik britanske Labor Party. V teku zadnje volilne kampanje so ga konservativni kandidati opisovali kot "resnično silo za prestolom . . .") Ko pišem te vrstice, je še nejasno, kolikšen bo obseg socialistične zmage—katere si še ni mogoče v polni meri predočiti. , Nikdo v glavnem stanu naše stranke si ni upal misliti na tako masivno in jasno ter popolno zmago.

I Mnogo znamenitih torijev bo vsaj začasno izginilo ix našega juvnega življenja. Zakaj je bil Churchill tako izredno težko poražen? Ravno ko je bil na višku svoje sile ln slave? Danes vidimo, da je naredil pravi politični samomor. Pred vsem se je globoko motil glede pameti in politične zrelosti angleškega naroda. Nekako po "firersko" je poskušal iz teh naših splošnih volitev napraviti osebni plebiscit zu zaupanje v njegovo osebnost. Svojo volilno kampanjo je zgradil na udarcih in napadih, ki so bili nevredni njegove veličine, in so sramotili narod. Prepričal je ljudstvo, da ki kažejo zdravo bodočnost in četudi je potreben ogromen na-» por socialne sile, da premaga nedelavnost, veruje pisatelj vendar v njeno moč in končno zma* go.

Vreme je letos res čudno: do srede julija je biJo neprestano hladno, sedaj pa i-mamo že nekaj dni hudo vročino in se je šele danes malo 0-hladilo, ker je deževalo. Vrtovi lepo kažejo in imamo dosti zelenjave, kar nam pride zelo prav, kajti nimamo dovolj mesa in ne pointov. Upajmo, da bo teh nenormalnih razmer kmalu konec in da bo zavladal po vsem svetu trajen mir. Sedaj posebno trpe matere in žene, ki. imajo svojce pri vojakih. Pred kratkim sta prišla iž Nemčije dva naša člana. Obi sta bila ranjena. John Lazar st zdravi v bolnišnici v Topeki, Kans., Leonard Darovec pa v Den ver ju, Colo. Upam, da kmalu ozdravita in se srečno povrneta domov k svojim dragim. Frank Lazar pa je bil častno odpuščen od vojakov. Dne 8. julija se je vršila seja delničarjev Slovenskega delavskega doma, na kateri smo razpravljali o raznih zadevah, ti-kajočih se Doma. Sprejeta je bila tudi sugestija, da se bi u-stanovilo gospodinjski klub, ki bi deloval v korist SDD. Za organizatorico je bila imenovana Antonia Church in tako se je zbrala v sredo zvečer, 11. julija, lepa skupina žena in izvolila odbor gospodinjskega kluba za tekoče leto. V odbor so bile izvoljene sledeče: Antonia Church, predsednica, Mary Ostrožnik. tajnica, Julia Fi Ii pich, blagajnica. Julia Krmelj, zapisnikarica, v publi-cijski odbor pa Uršula Zattich in Amalia Church. Seja se bo vršila vsako prvo nedeljo v mesecu. Nov ravnatelj SDD je sedaj Louis Ajdich.

Smitha si prizadeva dobiti v roke kontrolo nad 12 milijoni veteranov, ki so izurjeni v rabi strelnega orožja—to zatrjuje zadnji članek Scripps-Hovvardove serije o organizacijah nacionalistov. Njih postopek je naslednji: Ustanovili so dvoje veteranskih organizacij. katerih prva se ime nuje "Nationa lst Veterans , Smith in Carl Mote. Trdila sta, World War II/ druga pa Com- da bosU preskrbela vsakemu mitteeof the Veterans of World | veteranu po $1 000 za vsako le War II."

K. Smith. Zamisel je, da je treba odvrniti vračajoče se vojaKe od pravih in dobrih veteranskih organizacij z najrazličnejšimi obljubami, češ da jih je ljudstvo doma zanemarjalo. Reynolds in Smith nočeta, da bi vojni veterani postali zopet miroljubni civilisti. Kar hočeta, je, da bi bili neziidovoljni, da bi imeli občutek, da so ogoljufani, tako da bi povzročali težavo in bili poslušno orodje njih kampanje mržnje. V spominu jima je o* stalo, kaj je Hitler uspel storiti z razbito nemško armado kon-„ cem zadnje vojne. Toda Smith je napravil zmoto. Postavil je namreč na čelo svojih veteranskih organizacij čudne ljudi. George Vose je prvak organizacije Nationalist Veterans of World War II. Kdo je George Vose? Bil je v armadi in je ustanovil čeden in sočen "racket" iz prodaje vojaških dobav vojakom v Camp McCoy ju, Wisconsin. Končno P.'d je vojska ujela, postavila Pi«l preki sod ter ga dne 3. maja 194,'i oBsodila na šest mese-prisilnega dela in na de-darno globo. Ta bivši kaznjenec je zdaj na c'lu Smithove skupine vetera-n"v. Priclno potuje okrog po deželi in drži govore pred gil-dom nacionalnih farmarjev, te 'akozvane farmarske podružnice nacionalistov. George Vose J"' poskusil dobiti veterane iz ■skupine United Sons of Amer-.Ra naslednika Ku-Klux-Klana, [{h I" se mu pridružili. Toda združeni sinovi so prefrigani. N,i('J'>. da bi šlo vse najboljše 1 Vosejevo malho, in v malho "J« ►.'•vrRa sponsorja Smitha. N(* mmittee of Veteran» h»d v hotelu La Salle ne 22. aprila t. I. pošteni veterani, čim bodo spoznali, kaj ti hujskači pravzaprav nameravajo, s studom odvrnili od njihovega ncamerikanskega početja. Nacionalisti imajo še drugo puščico v rezervi. Dočim se poslužujejo McWilliamsa, Malo-neja in drugih, da bi pridobili na svojo stran veliki biznes, za težke kontribucije, si prizadevajo obenem tudi nabirati pristašev v krogih malih podjetnikov. V San Antoniu, Tex., se nahaja Joseph E. Kamp, ki širi versko in rasno sovraštvo s pamfleti in sodeluje s Smithom. Kamp je organiziral takozvani "Fight for Frce Enterprise," ter postavil na čelo te organizacije nekega Williama Walkerja. Ta skupina ščuva malo podjetništvo proti delavcem, proti vladi »n proti vsake vrste organizacijam za svetovni mir. Druga organizacija iste vrste je Chris-tian American Association iz Houstona, Tex. Na čelu sta Vanee Muse in S. Valentine Urey, ki je prijatelj obenem Smithov in Geralda B. Winroda. Ta zadnji je kot znano obtožen zarote. Precej je tudi drugih skupin, ki pravijo, da se zanimajo za težave malega podjetništva, ki pa menijo v resnici le podpirati zakone, naperjene proti delavcem in tujerodnim Amerikan-cem. Najhujša med njimi je Gen-tile Cooperative League of Chicago. Deluje čisto po nacističnih metodah. Na čelu stoji Eugeno Flitcraft. Ta liga je organizirala bojkot proti židovskim trgovinam in profesionalcem z geslom: "Buy Gentile only." Izdaja tudi list "Gentile News" in sledi korak za korakom vsem poskusom nacionalistov, Geralda L. K. Smitha, takozvanih "materinskih" skupin in Citizen« of the USA Com-mitteeja, k< so vsi v zvezi z Flitcraftom. V kratkih besedah pfcvedar/ Vsebina vse serije Scripps-How-ardovih člankov je naslednja: Reynolds, Smith in njihovi pajdaši si prizadevajo strniti v eno samo skupino vse organizacije mržnje, vse hujskače, vse sovražnike demokracije. Ta skupni. združeni pokret naj no«l ime stranke nacionalistov. Te skupine se raztezaj® od "mladinskih" organizacij preko "materinskih" klubov do zvez za vračajoče »e vojne veterane Vsi imajo nekatere skupne poteze protidelavske, protitujerodne go; premagali smo sužnost z našo vero in našim globokim zaupanjem. Naša vera v zmago ni slonela samo v naših lastnih silah, katere nismo nikoli precenjevali, temveč tudi v dejstvu, da nismo podcenjevali naših sovražnikov. Naša moč je slonela v zaupanju v našo veliko zaveznico Sovjetsko zvezo in v voditelja-genija velike Rusije—generalísima Stalina, kot seveda v naši veri v moč naših velikih zaveznikov. Sovjetska zveza nas je navdala z zaupanjem v našo lastno moč. Nismo se zmotili. Vzdržali smo. In kar je še več, sedaj smo ojačali to povezanost krvi, doseženo na bojnem polju, z vsemi diplomatičnimi forma-litetami. Danes obstaja neraz- žem, Rusom in zedinjenim narodom. Med nacionalisti je najti pretepače, gangsterje, bivše kaznjence, postopače in propalice. Obenem pa ao prefrigani in zviti spletkači med njimi, kot Reynolds in Smith, ki poznajo vse stare zvijače za vzbujanje nemirov in mržnje v svrho pridobivanja oblasti. Dodali to še nekaj novih sredstev. Ne smejte se nacionalistom. Nevarni so. Uspelo jim bo seveda le, ako bo ameriški narod brezbrižen in jih omalovaževal, ali pa se dal zapeljati, da sledi njihovim geslom. Ako se bo javnost dvignila, jih bo ustavila in pregnala mržnjo, katero skušajo širiti. Ne poslušajte njihove strupene propagande. Mislite, delajte, glasujte in govorite le za demokracijo—v tem slučaju Amerike ne bodo mogli ogražati vs« spletkarji in hujskači sveta—ONA. boljši sinovi naših narodov. Narod nam je pripomogel do zmage, narod nam je omogočil prenašati vse hude potežkoče. Vsled tega je smešna kritika in upanje onih, ki mislijo, da je naša dosedanja zgradba le u-metno zgrajena ter da jo'je ravno tako lahko spremeniti kot staro Jugoslavijo, ki se je sesu la.

Slovene Nat91 Benefit Society in 42nd Year of Fraternal Service-l904-1945 PROSVETA ENGLISH SECTION Twentieth Anniversary of SNPJ English Speaking Lodge Movement PAGE SIX For Members of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1 Labors Vast Victory in Britain LAST WEEK, the world »aw the birth of a new era which promises to bring great social and economic changes for millions of workers throughout the world. This new era was unexpectedly ushered in by Labor'» sweeping victory in the British elections, the result of which surprised Pioneer Picnic Saturday, Aug. 4 CHICAGO.—Of course, you know that Pioneer Picnic is due any time. But just to refresh your memory, it the entire world. In fact, the victory of the British Labor J is this Saturday. Aug 4, at Pilsen COMRADES' NOTE BOOK By J. J. rifoll CLEVELAND. — Dues Collection Party means a virtual social revolution achieved by peaceful methods. It was a decisive and complete defeat of reaction. This victory of the British people will have far-reaching meaning to all workers in other countries, and the workers everywhere hailed the victory. This change in the British government came at a time when the world needs honest leadership most. It is expected that the Labor Party will now move forward to social and economic reforms at home and abroad in the colonics that have long been held in bondage. Therefore, the example set by British workers will be watched by the workers in every country, and through their accomplishments the workers in other countries will receive new inspiration and encouragement. There is no doubt that there will be many changes in Britain, both social and economic, and that the rights of the common man will be expanded. Britain's domestic policy, which until now has been favoring the ruling classes, will be profoundly changed; its foreign policy, too, particularly in regard to colonies, will be changed, In short, Britain, under the new Labor (Socialist) government, promises to become a great liberal leader. ★ * * REJECTING TORYISM, the BritiAh people chose overwhelmingly the party which represents organised progressivism, which is Socialist in principles and objectives. The program of the Labor Party calls for nationalization of the mines, railroads, power and the Bank of England; also, bold housing advance and land reforms. To be sure, Labor's vast victory does not mean easy sledding. For instance, a number of problems of reconversion loom on the horizon. But in Clement Attlee, the new Labor Prime Minister, it has a capable leader, devoted to Socialist reconstruction and world cooperation, and he has the support of excellent teammates In his government—Bevin, Dalton, Cripps, Greenwood, Morrison and others, as well as such capable leaders as Prof. Harold Laski. Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that with an overwhelming majority in Parliament, the Attlee government Will be able to institute at least some of the reforms immediately, while others will come into being graduaJly. The British-system of self-government made the change from a Tory to a Socialist government gradual and peaceful. Let us remember that onlv a dmocracy makes such change possible, that is, bv peaceful methods. ★ * * BRITAIN'S FOREIGN POLICY, too, will be overhauled radically, according to pronouncements made by members of the new Labor government. Abroad we can expect a far more just policy everywhere— in Spain, Greece, Jugoslavia, Belgium, Italy and Portugal, as well as in India and Africa. We see an early emancipation of India and other colonies. Dictator Franco will no doubt soon be forced out and the Republican forces will regain their power. There will be genuine cooperation with progressive and left-wing movements of Europe, and there will be firm cooperation with Soviet Russia. In regard to Jugoslavia, the Attlee government is bound to reverse the policy of the defeated Tory government. Likewise, in Italy republican forces will receive encouragement and support. Also, it is expected that the Trieste problem will be solved on a justifiable basis and that Slovenia will get back all the territory stolen from her after the last war. Trieste and Go-rica and Slovene Carinthia, we hope, will now receive more Just treatment. Labor's great victory in Britain offers much hop«* to the common man everywhere. It is the first time in history that a major power is run by l*abor. That's whv much is cxpccted along the lines of social and economic democracy. We are confident that these change* will come—some immediately and others gradually All of which preaents a pertinent question: Will American labor follow the example of British labor by using its political power to gain its social and economic rights? Let's hope that It will Park By the way, did you notice Iflflhit On dues collection night one usually gets a lot of information as to who is back and what goes on. Dr. J. W. Maly's mother stopped by to let me know that Doc is not showing much improvement. Understand he has had 17 blood transfusions to date. He left the hospital for home last Friday. Roman Tomele's recent marriage was verified by his dad. Roman and his wife sent us a card from Chicago. Congratulations. They tell me that Capt.

And at the same time we will not forget our Servicemen's Booth; us you know, all the proceed« from this booth will go for the servicemen. So tell me what more can you ask for an evening like this? NOTICE!—Another good deed we can all do is mail or give your Lodge 55» secretary or any member of the picnic committee a red token for each member of the lodge, as we cannot get any from our ration board for the meat for the picnic. I'm almost sure that this is the last picnic that we will have to worry about points. Let's not let our lodge down now, so that we can say to our boys whin they return, "We did our best." In fact, it looks as if several of our boys will even have an opportunity to attend this picnic. We do not wunt to buy black market, and we won't! Let's show that we Pioneers are good Americans and will stick by our boys and lodge. If other nationalities cun do it, so can we. So do not overlook or forget this. It is very important as every point counts. Several have already given. We only usk for one per member, but if you can spare more, all well und good. We need them.

He was Golden Eagles GIRARD, OHIO.—Vacations are like some of the dresses some ladies wear these days—too short! Nevertheless, Mary and I thoroughly enjoyed it (the vacation). We gloried in the seven full days o> freedom that yawned before us. We relaxed in Wisconsin's invigorating climate. Yes, vacations are wonderful and the modern industrial pace demands more frequent associations with Mother Nature. Many people contributed to our pleasant visit. The Frank Bolkas called one day and informed us they would have chicken for dinner and would we please come for a visit. Would we? Chicken! Well, you can rest assured we did justice to Ann's good cooking. Later, Frank and I brought back memories of SNPJ affairs. One Wednesday was spent in Chicago at SNPJ headquarters and at the Labor Center. Chicago, as a city, and the nation as a whole, need not feel so proud of progress made. We made the trip from the Uninon Station in a 26th-Kenton streetcar. Houses and stores in some parts of this section are beyond de-sription. Words would be feeble, no matter how employed. Of course, each city has its counterpart. Is this necessary? With our tremendous resources and man-power, need such a condition exist? Will we always permit the profit system to set aside sections of cities really unfit for man or beast? Then, of course, the Matt Golobs and family extended a very hospitable hand. Their home served as headquarters during our wanderings here and there. Marge and Olga arranged an informal party for us and we are grateful for this kindness. Country Fair The country store sold out; the baked goods completely gone; the ice cream cleaned out—in fact, everything disappeared resulting in another very successful affair.

People like Mary Macek, Frunces Hribar, Sophia Tan-cek, Frances Matekovlch, Mary Bo-gatay and others served on the Policy Committer and then worked like beavers throughout the anniversary evening quenching thirst, satisfying hunger and performing the numerous requirements needed to please a crowd of people.

The other topnotch attraction will be our returning servicemen. Boys like Arley Bozicnik, about whom we reported before as being in five major battles, Herman Z o r d a n i, who was among the commandos and scouts often behind the enemy lines, Tom Zordani, from the Pacific area, and the young chap who collected many dues from the Pioneers before he left for the service, Ernest Dreshar. Undoubtedly, there will be others and we will be glad to have them all and spend hours listening to their tales. Other prominent visitors will include Anne Ku-mer, former president of the Pioneers and now from Universal, Pa. Also Mary Kumer. The children's games and contests will attract much attention which will be climaxed by the mass pie-eating contest in which 50 youngsters will participate. We will have a special servicemen's booth for the primary purpose of raising some extra cash for the Pioneer servicemen.

She sailed to Europe with the WACs and her picture appeared in the Chicago Times.—Frunk Yencich has been moving around quite a bit lately and drops us a note from abourd the USS-LSM "R" 407. This means that he is operating in the Pacific theater. He hopes to get back in time for the Pioneer bowling season next winter, and adds that it is plenty hot where he is.

Gerry Robichaud, Chicago Sun's columnist, has this interesting oblation on the British elections concerning our conservatives» •What plagues our conservatives most of all about the British Labor Party's proposed national reforms is their inability to fasten an "alien doctrine" label on them and make it stick. While there may be an nder- current of suspicion in our regard for the British, the American people as a whole are not inclined to look upon them as 'alien' in its most ap-probrious sense. The same does not hold true of the Russians who, unlike the British, neither share our language nor to any appreciable extent our racial and cultural inheritance. The case against Communism is made all the easier because of its Russian, or 'alien' growth." My recent mail included several interesting letters from widely scattered persons. Among these are letters from George Gornik of Belling-ham, Wash., and one from "Big Tony" Tumsic of Oakland, Calif., approving my views on religious, economic and political «questions Krs. Marie Prisland of Sheboygan, Wis, wrote to say she liked my editorial on Trieste However, the most interesting let-l?r erne from Ivan Zorman, the W/-known Slovene poet and cornier, of Cleveland, Ohio, in re-ponif to my request for permiasion reprint his copyrighted trunsla-« of Slovene masterpieces in The to* of Youth. Mr. Zorman writes: 1 have now received and looked brough two issues oi The Voice of faith.

I am sure that you told y»ur young (and old) readers a inat dial about two eminent Slovenes, Vodnik and JurCtf (in the February and March issues), and you did this with only a few hundred *«rds. Thank you for the copies and *i*h you continued success." Naturally. I am mighty glad to receive such recognition of my efforts in The Voice of Youth from Chicago Trailhlazer News On Sunday afternoon and evening, August 19, all trails on the far South side of Chicago will converge on Gpossi's picnic grove where the ¿Trailblazers, Lodge No. 100, will hold thur first outdoor affair in two years. The Commit!*« in charge, consisting of Brothers Stanley Tisol, Peter Vrhovnik, Stanley and Victor Tome, and John Vranicar, is working hard to complete all necessary arrangements and expects to have everything in readiness when the day of the picnic arrives. Assurance has already been given that ample supplies of refreshment* will be at hand. Good music has been secured for dancing and un all-weather pavilion is available for this purpose. To broaden the variety of activity for this occasion, several members have promised to bring along their balina sets and this, too, will help to provide recreation and enjoyment for all who like this form of pastime and exercise. And, if enough children attend the picnic, there will also be a short program of games for their special benefit. Grossi's picnic grove is located near 134th St. and Dody Ave. For the information of those who have no means of travel of their own, take the Southshore train and get off at 130th Street or Parsons. From there it is only a short walk to the grove. Signs will be posted to direct you. A cordial invitation is extended to all members and friends of the SNPJ to attend the Trailblazers' picnic. No admission will be charged to enter the grounds or for dancing, so bring the family and friends along and spend the day out in the open or in the cool shade of trees with a friendly crowd. Remember, the date is Sunday, August 19. • • • Last Wsdnasday evening some twenty male members of the Trail-blazer Lodge got together at 103rd Street and Perry Avenue to pay honor to Frank Duller, dne of the youngest Trailblazer members in military service. Less than two weeks ago, he returned from Europe where he had seen action with his tank corps in four major battles before being captured by the Germans and held prisoner for nearly five months. Although in military service less than 18 months, young Duller had spent nearly a year in France and Germany. He saw many of the horrors created by war and knows what baptism of blood and fire really means. However, for all his varied experiences, outwardly he looked surprisingly well and his spirit and mental attitude was excellent. But, like every veteran of grim battles of war. he expressed great satisfaction in being at home with his folks and to have the opportunity again to sit down at the same table with a group of fellow lodge members. "There is no place in the world like America," are the words Brother Duller used In comparing his homeland with the European countries he had visited. That evening was pleasantly spent talking of old times, singing favorite Slovene and American gongs, imbibing of liquid refresh ments In temperate quantities, nnd the partaking of platters ladden with appetizing foods In the "help your self" style. It is now a standing custom of the Trailblazers to give a WELCOME HOME PARTY to ev ery member in the armed forces who returns from the battlefields of the war. So far, there have been three such affairs this year, each •wli an eminent man of letters and one a happy and successful reunion muIMC. ^^^^ Th« first of these welcome home celebrations was held In February and honored an "Old Faithful," William Grum, who returned home for 36 days after spending nearly 26 months in India and Iran.

The next welcome affair was tendered in honor of William Brolick. a lieutenant and pilot in the? Air Corps, who came back to the States after completing fifty missions and thirty-five sorties from a base in Italy. We were pleasantly surprised to see Brother Brolick at the party last Wednesday on the eve of his departure for Texas, where he has been stationed since u-assignment three* months ago- It was his brother. Emil, a lieutenant and pilot on a night-flying bomber, who lost his life in action on a return flight from a bombing mission over Germany lust December, a few days after Christmas. When Emil was killed, he lacked only three missions of filling his quota of fifty and getting a hard-earned leave to home, wife und friends, and a "welcome home celebration" for good measure. He was an active member of tho Trailblazers, an officer for several terms, and represented the lodge at the last convention in Pittsburgh, Pa. He was easily one of the finest young men in the Lodge and the Pullman community where he lived prior to enlistment in the Air Corps. Of the twenty-three Trailblazers in the armed forces of our country, all but one have seen service in foreign lunds. Word was recently received that Frank Bezlaj has arrived at a base in California after a long assignment in the Pacific battle area, and expects to be sent home within a month or so. Likewise, it has been reported that William Bils-barrow is now on the West Coast after 18 months service in the Pacific waters, and is looking forward to an extended furlough with his family and friends. The arrival home of Brothers Bezlaj and Bils-barrow, exDected at approximately the same time, will mean two more welcome home parties, each of which will equal, if not surpass, any of the previous affairs of this kind. . But more about this later. In the meantime, members are urged to do their share for the 8ervloe-man's Benefit Fund. See the Lodge Secretary for further particulars. . . And don't forget that the Trailblazer meetings are held ut Stancik's Hail every third Thursday of the month at H P. M. MICHAEL VRHOVNIK, Lodge 100. Juvenile Circlee of the SNPJ Dobut o!

Brinocar, Jack Cunningham, and Rudy Kcrar, adult members of the1 Lincolnite Lodge. Congratulations, Frances. Snapshots were taken of our charter members, and we hope to have one of our pictures In The Voice of Youth soon. Plans were made to huve a swimming party at Memorial Pool on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 2:30 p. in. After our swim we will gather at the home of Manager Freda Kissing, where a supper will be served to all members. A good time is In store, so don't forget this importsnt date. Vacationers— Mgr.

This plan preiposes that first things be> put first. Its first oh)e»c-tivc is to facilitate re-deployment ■nd to meet the unemployme*nt prob- years, in view of government aid, Reuther said, requires production of sixty per ccnt of capacity. The GM workres brief was sent by Reuther to the di-rector of War Mobilization and Reconversion; and to William H. Davis, director of the Office of Economic Stabilization, George W. Taylor, chairman of the National War Labor Board, and Che»stcr E. Bowles, director of the Office of Price Administration. The brief is based on the March 3, 1945, decision of the WLB in the GM wage case which held that wage issue could be? re-opened "if a ( change in national wage po)icy . . . makes such changes pejssible." The brief also cites a statement subsequently made to UAW-CIO officials in which Economic Stabilization Director Davis declared wage raises were necessary but asked how it was possible to increase wages without causing prices to rise. Replying to Davis, Reuther enu-rm-rate'd the fallowing current and port-war re»so^rces of American industry: Accumulated war profits in the tills e>f all corporations (except bank and insurance companies) amount on the whole to a sum equivalent to six'years of pre-war income, after taxes, of all eorpeira-tions , . . Therefore they are now in a position to draw out eif cash and government bonds in their treasuries the equivalent of six years of pre-war profits and end up as strong in their working capital poiition .i, in 1939." The corproations "will soon re-ceive about three billion dollars in cash,from the U. S. Treasury through refund, provided by law, of 10 pe-r cent of excels profits paid during the war. This increases their safety re'serve lo a fund equal to 7 years of pre-war net profit." 27 Billion Refund Available "If their post-war earnings fall be»low normnl or turn into losses they can claim additional refunds from the U. S. Treasury. The total available is some twenty-seven bil Hon dollars. "Here, then, is a contingent reserve e'qual to eight more years of normal net income after taxes. That is to say, in ease of ne»ed the typical American corporation is protected against reconversiem loss to the ex U«nt of IS years of normal net income. Th«' brief proceeds to analyze lalxir's «•conomic position. It points out that the- worker is offere-d no public by Willow Run Local 50, UAW-CIO. The program was drafted by Walter P. Reuther, vice-president of the UAW-CIO, in cooperation with officers and members of Local 50. Using mass production techniques, Reuther said, Willow Run, integrated with government-owned war plants, can: 1. Within 90 days after a "go" signal "turn out rolling stock." 2. Produce sufficient rolling stock to modernize cmopletely the nation's railroads, and sharply reduce freight costs; the new rolling stock woutd be made largely of aluminum, thus permitting greater supplies of steel for the reconverting automobile industry and other civilian industries. 3. Produce modern and durable homes, fully equipped with current improvements, at a cost of approximately $3,000 per home. Reuther declared that use of former war-time facilities under the proposal would provide a minimum of six million jobs. Workers, Soldiers Jobs Involved Reuther and Brendan Sexton, president of Willow Run Local 50, in a foreyvord to the program, challenged the statement made by Henry Ford II that the Willow Run plant must be considered "expendable". Workers and returning soldiers, Reuther said, have an equity in the so-calle»d "expendable plants." Proposes Two Authorities To develop use of the excess government-owned war plant facilities, Reuther proposed that Congress set up two public authorities "similar in organization and function to the Tennessee Valley Ayithority." The new authorities would be a Housing Production Authority and a Railroad Equipment Production Authority. HThese public authorities," Reuther continued, "will be authorized to operate government-owned war Km during the imme'dlatc transi Vion period;" and ¡«en-emdly. It points' fluch prmpects as that e njoyed by the way bv which we can convert th«. corporations. War bond savings «»ften referred te> as "mountains of war savings." says Reuther, are actually. by comparison, only the size of a hill. peissible, In this spult, the workers <»f Wil-lo* Run plant, as repreaonted by lVimher I-«»eel 50.

Attendance at this meeting was upped a trifle. We cannot understand why moie members don't attend. We do thank thoee faithful score or more who do attend the year around. We are in the market for any ideas or suggestions to clarify this rituation. I for one find the meetings very interesting and enjoy meeting my fellow members at least once a month. We have a fine set of officers to conduct our meetings. So let's have more cooperation on the Dart of the membership. Sis. M. Ermanc reported on the large number of letters received from our members in the service. Was good to see Sis. M. Kukec at the meeting. Sis. Kukec deserves a world qi credit for her untiring efforts in corresponding with all our members on foreign lands. Besides writing letters, she also sends the weekly edition of the Milwaukee Sentinel, plus the green rheet and other interesting material. She urges the members to gather their discarded green sheets and Sunday comics and bring them to our secretary's office from where they will be forwarded to her for mailing to our members. Tha response up to date has not been very satisfactory, so let us get into the groove and get that reading material on the way to where it will do the most good. The picnic committee reported on the progress of getting everything in readiness for our picnic on September 9. Dates a^d News Another Badger to enter the business world is Tony (Blondy) Bo-zich. Tony's place is located at 309 W. National ave. Nothing but the best is served at this spot, so drop in and say hello to Tony in the near future. Aug. 1?—On this date, the local Singing Society "Naprej" will hold their yearly picnic at Kozmut's Grove located at 92nd and Beloit rd. A grand time is promised to all who attend. This group plays an important part in our social life, and are always willing and ready to sing at our affairs. So keep this date in mind and be at Kozmut's Grove on Sunday, Aug. 12. Aug. 19—On this date lodge Vijolica will stage their annual picnic in conjunction with their 10th anniversary. This affair will also take place •at Koznuit's Grove. Sept. t—This is the date of our own Badger picnic which will also be held at Kozmut's Grove. Need more to be said? Members in Service Home on leave from the Navy is Stanley Starich, F. 1/c. Stanley en tertd the service on June 28, 1943; went thru his boot training at Far-ragut, Idaho; spent a few weeks in Kansas in school learning the rudiments of the machinist trade; was then sent to Pearl Harbor where he stayed for three months; then was assigned to an APA or troop ship with the amphibious forces.

A postwar co-op refrigerator has been designed, home freezer l.nXe, have been ordered; vacuum lean-ears will soon be available; iind coop washing machines and other ap. pliances will be available as soon as possible. ), Acting on a report by John Carson, Washington representative of the Ce>operative League, the Na-tional Board authorized having a full time man in Washington to keep co-ops informed on Surplus Property availability. The Universal Co-op Milking Machine Company owned by National Cooperatives has authorized production of a motion picture on "faster milking" for use next year, according to A. G. Rose, manager. A greatly increased merchandisin| program is underway, James I'roeb-sting, advertising manager, reported as an aid to local and regional cooperatives in meeting intensified postwar competition. Howard A. Cowden, president of the Consumers Cooperative Associa-tion, was selected bv the board to represent National Coope ratives at the first post-war meeting of the International Cooperative Trading Agency which will be held in London in September. To round out tho board, J. J Siemens and E. B. Chown of the Manitoba Cooperative Wholesale, Winni-peg. Canada, were elected to post» as directors of National Co-ops.

The authorities would operate in thre*e ways. Each authority would be empowered: 1. To lease plants to private manufacturers, to be operated by them as part of the general production program either in housing or railroad equipment. 2. To directly operate govern-ment-owncd plants. 3.

A letter comes to one of our members relating the meeting of two Badgers in France. Yes sir, Al Je-ray and Slim Sedmak were together for 24 hours in Paris. As they have not seen each other for a matter of three years, you can imagine what this meant to both of them. Out came a bottle of cognac and naturally the talk drifted to their travelings and home. They will be meeting again in the near future as they are not verv far apart. Have one for me at your next meeting. the Medofar family who have recently lost their mother, Mrs. Frank Medofar. Sgt.
