POLISH QUESTION
 PEACE OBSTACLE
United Nations Association Conducts First in Series
 of Summer Forums

Mrs. John s. Staneslow discussed problems of eastern Europe at a meeting of the Waterbury United Nations association at the Central YMCA last evening. Attention cen- tered on the Polish question as the most serious in keeping the big na- tions from unitedly facing the post war future.
 Mrs. StanesloW in her talk quoted extensively from the speech on the Curzon line of Prime Minister Churchill to the parliament as well as relating some of her own exper- fences while travelling.
 She traced the historical devel- opment of the controversy between the London exile government and the Warsaw government and ex- pressed the belief that the best guarantee of the survival of a strong and democratic Poland would be the complete carrying out of the decisions reached at the Yalta conference by Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill.
 Dr. Joseph A. May sent his re- grets that he was unable to also speak at the United Nations forum because of illness.

OIL WORKERS
 SPEAK A LINGO
 ALL THEIR OWN

New Orleans, La, June 20 - CU. P0 The Greeks didn't have a word for it, so the oil field workers of south Louisiana made up some of their own.
 An average newspaper reader, confronted with a technical journal of the oil business, might find him. self open-mouthed reading a language made up letters unfnis- takably English - but utterly for eign when joined together.
 The initiated know that the "three-jaw chuck" is a device for steadying the rods into the well and that the rope choker" is a cable tool driller.
 Since the average South Louisi- anian lives near an area where oil is produced, he probably would be acquainted with the most familiar expressions. He's have little trou- ble identifying roughneck as a drillers helper, roustabout as a general handy man and a tool pusher as the man in charge of drilling operations.
 He'd very likely know that when the driller speaks of his tour, he's talking about his workday, and any gripping about fishing job means the oilman is making an at- tempt to revover tools lost in the hole.
 But where the dictionary won't help is when roofing dog" meth cd slips, which, among other things, speeds up the round trip"
 A swivel neck' (rotary drillers) could tell him that the rolling dog" slip is a device for holding drill pipe in place and that a round trip is the removal and replace ment of bit in the hole.
 And now just try these on fo1 size, and figure them out-if pos sible; junk pusher, cores, doodle burgers, shot, wildcat and sucker rods.

The American military govern ment recently appointed Friedrich Schaeffer to run Bavaria. This Schaeffer used to be very chummy with Fascists. The first speech Schaeffer made after getting his appointment echoed the Nazi propa- ganda line. He blamed Hitler and the Nazis for the war and insisted that the German people were inno- cent The difference between Nazis and Germans is that the Nazis admit they are Naz;s GermanaziS claim to be anti-Nazis, but Gen. Eisenhower stated that the Allies didn't recieve any aid from anti-Nazi undergraduates in Germany-for the simple. reason that none existed It is about time we learned that we can't en- joy the fruits of victory by allow ing worms to get into them.
 In 1940 diplomat Joe Grew op- posed an embargo against Japan. He said there is a difference between appeasement and that form of ad- justment of mutual problems which should not be beyond the wit and good will of men" . A few months iatel the Japs used the oil and steel that Grew wanted us to ship to Japan-to kill Americans.
 The reprehensible attacks against Mrs. Roosevelt by CommyS in America prove that the only thing lower than a Communists an- other Communist. Hell, all of them infesting America are low enough to look up at snakes Of course, Mrs. Roosevelt's shining rep is far above the reach of these political ppygmies. We believe Mrs. Roose- velt shares our opinion about Com my islanders. This newsboy takes pride in the many brickbats Com mys have whizzed in our direction. We regard them more highly than anybodys laurels.
 The colyumist craft has provided much food for debates in tonnes, mag and editorial pages. That isn't anything novel. Even Shakespeare recorded his opinion about them, This is what the bar once penned about colyumists: They are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time; after yuor death you were better to have a bad epitaph than their i'll report while you live.'

is strongly believed that the Labor

An offer of independence or domin-

Possibly the Laborites might be
shrewed enough to end colonial dis
putes by allowing India to decide
by plebsicite what it wants and
what its future relation to Britain
would be. Other colonies such as
Nigeria, the Gold Coast and the
West Indies may be quieted by
warding them the similar policy
that the United States has applied
to the Philippines. Certainly, Nj
geria, and in fact, all African COL
onies would welcome Joint COM

the colonial representatives to set
up freedom date for each of them.

in 1941 that the Atlantic charter

Let us see why freedom should

Britain now lead the world in the
reconstruction years by voluntarily
liquidating imperialism. The world
labor is the most organized of all

to transcend national boundaries.
If this quality goes on unrestricted,
it will enable the present labor

percussions would develop in the
colonial countries. Neither the Brit

would cherish such serious conse-
quences. The great powers them
selves would not wish to fight
again over the issue of independ-
ence for colonies, an issue which, no
matter how hard the conservatives
tried to sidetrack it at the United
Nations conference at San Fran

the fore so clearly that it was given
a special chapter in the world char

Let us hope and work that the

Can lAB0RITE BRITAIN BRING
HOPE TO COLONIES!
BY MBONU OJIKE

The unexpected landslide which
swept away the wartime Tory
regime of Britain in favor of the
Laborite socialism is undoubtedly &
welcome omen to the weary world
More so is that election result a
new hope for colonial freedom. For
the British Labor party since this
decade has shown itself a more pro-
gressive friend of the colonial peo-
pie.
One can read into the British
election result many trends: First,
it is a clear reputation of the con-
servative platform. Second, it in
dicates that an overwhelming ma
jority of the British people prefer
socialism to the out-moded Tory
policy both in domestic and foreign
relation. Third, monarchy as a
form of government is shaky now
not only in Britain, but also all over
the world. Fourth, it is a fulfilment
of ChurchilPs famous statement
that he did not become the kings
first minister in order to preside
over the liquidation of the British
empire. Fifth, Britain is more ia
vorably situated to cooperate with
the rest of the world, for Church
ills government had been somewhat
of hindrance in getting Britain to
let peoples elsewhere decide under
what form of government they
would be ruled. Finally, and by far
the most significant to the colonies,
British colonial policy has bright
er chance of undergoing a serious
reform.

Debate Seen On Charter
(Cohtinued from Page D

lie argument arose after Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M., challenged the basis on which Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont announced that he would vote for charter ratifica- tion.
 Wheeler said he would support the charter because of statements promising that "the specific duties and powers of our delegate will be spelled out in supplementary agree ments and that these agreements will come back to the senate for ratification" He said he would lead a real fight" later to limit the use of American forces by the council.
 Hatch interrupted to demand that if any member of the senate had any reservations to any phase of the charter they should be offered now.
 General Debate
 The exchange precipitated gen. eral debate which developed a dif- ference of opinion among some of the charters most avid senate sup porters.
 Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex, of the senate foreign relations com mittee, and Sen. Arthur H. Van- denberg, R., Mich, delegates to the San Francisco conference which drafted the charter, believed that the subsequent military agreements should be ratified by the senate.
 Neither ruled out the possibility, however, of handling the question of joint resolution as advocated by a group of younger Democratic sem ators.
 They included Sens. Scott W. Lu- cas, D., H., Claude A. Pepper, D., Fla, Lister Hill, D.. Ala, and J. Will liam Fulbright, D., Ark.
 They argued that having ratified the treaty. the supplemental steps could and should be handled as purely domestic legislation in the form of a resolution approved by both houses of congress. Hill agreed and said it was up to both houses of congress to decide how many shipss planes and troops would be placed at disposal of the Security council.

announce any explosive Japanese war developments. The United States is still on record as respect ing Soviet neutrality.
 No New Developments
 Observers said this did not exclude the possibility of new major Jap anese war developments but that it was likely such developments, If they occur, will not become appar- ent during the life of the confer ence or possibly for long time after its conclusion.
 Each big three or Roosevelt Churchill meeting in the past pro- duced big changes and stepped up the wars tempo, and this confer ence undoubtedly will have the same effect.
 But, isn the other conferences, it may be months before any agreed upon plans are activated and cnse- quently they won't be disclosed un- til they go into operation.
 It was believed that much of the big three's time up to now has been spent in discussing what to do with Germany.
 With scenes of utter desolation, hunger and pestilence around him, each principal has visible evidence of just how tough the German problem may become.
 Aside from discussing how to keep destitute Europe from collapsing from disease and starvation this winter. the big three leaders and their advisors reportedly were spend ing long hours discussing how to re constitute the war-shattered na- tions' governments without leaving cancers of Faschism.
