The aviation industry today is
big business. This fact becomes
evident when one compares the
figures for 1914 with those of 1889
in the chart below. Twenty billion
dollars, which is FIVE times the au-
tomoble industry's peace time
peak, is the present volume Of air
plane business. Our war time baasi-
ness can shrink 901o after victory
and according to business values
still be classified as big business.

AConclusion)

The members of the round
table are agreed about the grave
danger growing out Of the fear
jof revolution shown by some Of
the naajor powers within the
United Nations. The members
ARE also agreed that democratic
revolutions have become in
levitable and Indispensable
that they are part and parcel of
the democratic war itself and
that they can be of help not
emily in shortening the war
greatly but in solving a variety
of problems.
In the matter Of the terrible
devastation wrought by fascist
Italian troops in the Balkans or
by satellite Bulgarian fascist
groups, the round table has
agreed it is vital that full resti-
tuition be made for the devasta-
ted areas. You have concurred
in recommending that all re-
sources <particularly those of
the Axis nations) be pooled in
order to re-establish prosperity
and help the victimized peoples
to cope with the problems of
disease, ruined property and so
forth.
In the matter of boundary
problems the members of the
round table were of the unani-
nous belief that those areas
which have been occupied by
the Axis countries and which
have suffered SO terribly from
the enemy should be returned
Immediately. In other eases
where there is disagreement
about boundaries a complete
transformation, both of the pol
itical philosophy and of the
machinery and the men respon-
sible, is vital if the purposes for
which we are waging war are
not to be endangered. Measures
must be taken which respect
the will of the majority of the
people in those territories be-
fore fascist usurpations.
| You have eoncurred in think
ling it~would be highly desirable
to entrust the solution of those
problems to the democratic,
4 progressive forces - because
there is a concrete prospect that
these progressive forces can
lsolve the problems; whereas the
nationalists will never be able
to solve them because as their
point of departure they take
mystical conceptions which in
/ the end might lead to perma-
nent conflicts.
/ Finally, the members of the
round table have agreed that
neither the Balkan countries
nor the other peoples of Eu-
rope will permit Soviet Russia
or any other country to be iso-
Hated by a Gordon sanitaire.
| They have convinced it is TO
1.-THE interest of the Balkan coun-
tries to develop the fullest col
Elaboration within the frame
work of European democratic
unity and within a world or
1ganlzatlor; and that there
ishonld be full cooperation with
1.-THE major United Nations pow
lers, on a basis of equality.

avemini and | feel that the pTob-
liens of the proper boundary

Mike MarinAo,ich, Harr
Over 200 delegates and visi-
tors to the American Slav Con-
gress of Ohio, representing 1O9
American Slav organizations,
met in conference July 30th in
Youngstown and emphatically
placed as the number one task
of American Slavs in this COM
ing period the reelection of
Pres. Roosevelt.
The Chairman of the Con-
ference, Mr.. Harry F. Payer,
Assistant Secretary-of-S a t e
under President Wilson and
well-known American Czech
leader, sounded the keynote of
the conference in his stirring
address when he said:
"T he paramount question
confronting our great nation
today is whether we should
change our own great Com
mander-in-Chief, in the midst
of war, at the very hour when
we can almost hear the nation
rejoicing and shouting with VIC
tory -. No, this is not cam
paign in the usual partisan or
political sense. America cannot
afford in this critical time to
cast aside it's most distinguished
leader. America cannot afford
to forget that it was under his
guidance that our magnificent
preparation was made, that our
winning strategy was con-
ceived."
Striking sharply at the isshe
in the war, Mr.. Payer stated !:
What is this war in it's last
analysis? It represents con-
flict between two irreconcilable
ways of life. Democracy is ON
the defense against Nazisrn.
Fascism, a barbarous national
ism which is ruthlessness, re-
dictionary spirit and brutality
surpasses anything which has
ever up to this time appeared
in the history of the modern
world"
Mr.. Leo Krzycki, National
President of the American Slav
Congress, in his keynote ad-
dress to the delegates stressed
the role and contribution of
American Slavs today. "The
Slavic people as | have known
them," he said, "for 46 years in
the United States, are people
who would rather work and do
and give, and let the other fel-
low do the leading. The time
has come when we must shake
ourselves a little and lift our
selves out of this position. We
OF are in America to stay. We are
living in a democracy. 1t is the
interest of the people that all
the people participate in gov
ernment through political &C
tion." He spoke of the great
contribution made by American
Slavs in production. A recent
owl report showed that $40
of the workers in heavy indus
try were Of Slav extraction. He
hit sharply against the reac-
tionary and defeatist forces
who seek to bring in false is
sues in this election campaign.
He stated that at the Repubi-
can Convention there were men
present who thought the Ameri-
can people suffered from a
lapse in memory and wanted to
return to the days Of Hoover
with Is million out of work. He
called upon all delegates pres
ent to go back to work in their
organizations and communities
