STRIKERS
FACE us, ACTION
"A Faithful Ally
Betrayed to Reds

XXIEEKS before the latest Stain Churchill Eden
w meeting in Moscow, it was forecast in many
quarters that Yugoslavia would be thrown to the
Communist wolves; that England wanted only
face saving formula before Moscow's stooge, Tito,
was permitted to devour young King Peter and all
of Peters loyal followers who risked death and
accepted exile, rather than yield to Hitler.
The predictions are now fully confirmed. The
king and his cabinet, the men who made the fateful
decision to fight on Englands side when England
could not send man or gun to their assistance,
have been doomed by Churchill. Eden and Stain.
The Yugoslav exiles are now told they must
make the best deal they can with Tito.
England energies with her formula high
sounding statement asserting the sacred right of
the Yugoslav people to DECIDE THEIR OWN
FORM OF GOVERNMENT after the war.
WITH the Russian army now in Belgrade and
w with Allied arms and food now destined to
reach the Yugoslav people only through Tito, there
can be only one result-Communist domination of
Yugoslavia to such an extent that any postwar de-
cision by the Yugoslavs on what kind of govern
ment they want will be impossible.
The people make no decisions in any country
dominated by Moscow.
Moscow-that is, Stalin-decides everything.
Is there any one so naive as to believe that if
Tito, who was sent straight to Yugoslavia from
Moscow, makes any deal with King Peter, it will
amount to more than scheme to lure the king into
Communist enslaved Yugoslavia where Tito can
do what he wills with and to the king?
THIS cynical betrayal of an ally is announced at
l. Moscow and London with the statement that it
has the full approval of the American government.
Just who in the American government has any
right to give such approval?
Congress, the only real representative of the
American people, was not consulted.
Who then has constituted himself or them
selves the American government and taken upon
himself or themselves the right to speak for this
nation in approval of treacherous act?
Who now has stamped American consent upon
the doom of Yugoslavia as free, democratic
nation?
The answers to these questions are too obvious
to require statement That is the sort of thing Gov
Dewey had in mind when he denounced personal,
secret diplomacy.

! venus has been called 'the earth's
sister planet" That ID . good name
because Venus Is almost the same
size as the earth, and because it
comes closer to us than any other
Of the nine chief planets.
There are times when transit
Of Venus" takes place. When such
a thing happens, the planet gets in
the way Of the sun, going from one
side of 1t to the other. II person
holds up a dark glass, he can watch
Venus passing across the face Of
the sun. 1t looks like . small black
spot.
Transits Of Venus seldom take
place. Two Of them happened in
the 18th century, and two In the
10th century. Sad to say, there will
be no transit of Venus during the
20th century. The next one Is due
on June 8, 1904, which win be during
the 21st century.
With that sight so years, month
and days distant, we may feel that
we are not well treated in this
matter. Yet today / have q letter
from q woman who saw the last
transit, back In the year 1882, and
we can. in sense, see 1t through
her eyes. The letter Is from Mrs.
Joanna "opens Smith and she was
q school teacher at the time. She
writes:
with all my fourth and fifth
grade pupils. and with many pupils
Of other grades, watched the tram
sit of Venus on December 8, 1882, in
the bright sunlight OF q perfect day.
When the noon hour arrived, the
event had been In progress for some
time. AS it proceeded, we were
thrilled to see, through smoked glass,
how the lovely planet passed before
the brilliant face of the sun. It
crossed the suns disk Ike a little
black marble might slip along on
fine, invisible wire. It moved along
the lower third OF the SUMS disk.
After lunch at home, we returned
to our positions in the school yard.
How the children marveled at the
change in the location OF the black
spot! 1t was now much closer to
the other rim of the sun.
That transit Of Venus started at
o'clock In the morning and was
finished at 2:30 pm. 1t was q most
thrilling experience for all of US,
and my memory Of the spectacle has
never been dimmed. II you think
these lines might interest readers of
your educational column, you might
include them in an article"
A thousand thanks to you, Mrs.
Smith, for your kindness In writing
about that great event. I feel sure
the pupils who were under your care
had special good fortune, in view
of your interest In astronomy.
