of freedom and democracy, Oft
en- do not sense or realize it's
true value and worth. We take
many of our rights, benefits
and privileges for granted, not
quite understanding at what
cost they had been won and how
precious they seem to people in
other parts of the world.
Among the people who are to-
day striving to achieve freedom
and democracy, who are suffer-
ing untold agonies to become
"free men and women in a
democratic country" are the
very people whom our fathers
and mothers left behind in the
"old country"
OF our American heritage,
read what Wendell Willkie
says: "A most outstanding ex-
ample of a war fought with a
purpose was our own American
Revolution. We did not fight the
Revolution because we hated
Englishmen and wanted to kill
them. but because we loved
freedom and wanted to estab-
lish it. L think it is fair to say,
in the light of what that free
dom has meant to the world,
that the victory won at York
town was the greatest victory
ever won by force of arms. But
this was not because our Army
was large and formidable. It
was because our purpose was so
clear, lofty, and so we'll de-
fined"
Speaking of the present, he
said "The whole world seemed
to be in an eager, demanding,
hungry, ambitious mood ready
for incredible sacrifices if only
they could see some hope that
those sacrifices would prove
worth while"
Americas own fight for free
dom during the Revolution be-
came the inspiration in the
struggle for the rights of the
common man." a struggle which
has continued to this day. Dur
ing the last war the inspiration
was found in Wilson's Fourteen
Points, now, the Atlantic Char
ter and Four Freedoms declara-
tons have again awakened the
desire of the common people to
reach their goal. The guerrilla
fighters in Yugoslavia have
been waging their struggle for
over two years, fighting the oc-
cupation forces to show the
world that they are ready and
mature for freedom and democ-
racy.
In the magazine "Yugosla-
via," Franc Petrinovic writes:
Something new and great is
being born in Yugoslavia
The present struggle is a strug-
gle against foreign oppression
and Yugoslav corruption. Let us
support that struggle, because
in it lies the promise of a better
future for the children of the
men and women who are today
fighting against almost hope
less odds, fighting for honor
and freedom, not only for them
selves but also for the world as
a whole"
"The Observation-Disclosures Or
ganization in lavia"
writes Louis Adamic in his
latest Bulletin, War and Post
War, lis politically mature, it
knows what it wants and what
it doesn't want. 1t wants to
withdraw Yugoslavia, the Bal

Court Post Should Go
To District Resident,
Chavez Declares
New Mexico Senator
Hits Carpet Boeeers'
For Appeals Bench

Renewing his stand against car
pet-bae' appointments to local
Offices, Senator Chavez, Democrat.
OF New Mexico last night urged
selection of a Washingtonian to fill
the place about to be left vacant
on the District Court of Appeals
by the nomination of Justice Wiley
BlounJ Rutledge for the Supreme
Court.
Senator Chavez said:
Walter c. Bastian chairman of
the Committee on judicial Appoint
ments OF the Bar Association OF the
District of Columbia. has informed
me that his committee has called
on the Attorney General and SUBJ
mltted three persons from the Dis
trlct OF Columbia. urging that he
select one OF them for the vacancy
caused by the Rutledge appoint
ment.
The three names submitted, p"
Senator Chavez continued. were
Justice James M. Proctor of the
local District Court and Abner Fer
guson and Hugh Obearaall of whom
are lifelong residents of the Dis
trict.
Il reiterate my position in favor
OF appointment of District residents
for District positions, including
ludgeshlps. and l am as much op-
posed to 'carpet-bag' appointments
in the District of Columbia as I am
in my own State of New Mexico. /"
Senator Chavez. who has served
a number OF years on the District
Subcommittee of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee, has in the
past arisen in the Senate to oppose
appointment of outsiders to District
Jobs.
Abner Ferguson is Federal Hous-
Ing Administrator. He practiced
