we propose to "bestow the bless,

Germany and Japan, thus giving
every German and Jap a higher
standard of living, while we put

American unionists are telling
the right story when they assert
that wage increases are necessary
to avert a postwar depression
even more disastrous than the n
which started in October, 1929.
They are right because when the
government stops being the GUS
toner for the products of Amer
lean industry, then it will be ne
cessary for the people themselves
to do the buying. They are right
because in this war, as in the last
one, the productive ability of in
dustry has been stepped up by i'm
proved machinery and more eff
clent methods, so that a drop in
consuming ability will quickly re-
suit in the loss of millions of Jobs
They are right because, as the war
tapers off and finally comes to an
end, ten or more millions of men
and women in uniform who, TODAY
are doing a lot of consuming and
no producing at all, will need to
become producers. They are right
because large SURPRISES in the pos
session of the owners of industry
Will result in intense international
competition and a vicious drive to-
ward imperialism that will head
the world directly toward World
War III.

The YugosIuv Thesis

---F TOWt u lecture Oy SLOyUn FTGOI-
cfeUich, Time-Life correspondent,
given IN mid-June before an ec-
clustve semi-official audience in
London, as printed in T. q T.
Trends & Tides, editor and pub
fisher Louis Adamic):
On the principle of self-deter-
nination of nations, YugosTavs
lain Venezia Giulia up to Isonzo
liver as Yugoslav natives of that
egion outnumber Italians two to
me-. Furthermore, Yugoslavs ar
que that they are a small nation
which twice fought on Allied side,
Shat Italy additionally INDUCED
n expansion against the Yugoslav
amos and the Balkans, and that
consequently Yugoslavia needs
,trGngest Allied guarantees against
uture aggression-the more so as
all Italian governments after the
asst war pursued a policy of exter-
mination of the Yugoslav popula-
ton while in this war Italian oc-
cupation armies committed mass
atrocities equal to the worst deeds
of the Gestapo.
When n remembers that L.
SOC, 900 Slovenians are Wedged in
between 1875 million aggressive
Germans and Italians, and that in
this val Yugoslavia lost 1,7OO, 900
lives for Allied cause, one realizes
why the frontier dispute with Italy
is in Yugoslav eyes a question not
only of legal te~chnicalities but also
of human ethics and sheer biolo-
gical survival.
Yugoslavs also emphasize that
by controlling Trieste Italy could
dictate or choke off maritime trade
of nearly so million people of
Yugoslavia, Austria, Hungary and
Czechoslovakia. Therefore, at the
peace conference Prague, Vienna
and Budapest will very likely sup
port Belgrade in opposing Italian
domination of their Mediterranean
outlet.
Yugoslavs point out that the AL
lied Military Government works
Under Fascists laws and with TIA
ian local personnel sometimes re-
cruited from the former Fascist
Administration, which regime
might prejudice the result of an
eventual plebiscite. They worry
about imperialistic intentions of
the Rome regime and it's laxity in
wedding out Fascism. And they
wonder whether certain Allied cir
cles toy with the idea of strength
ening reactionary forces in Italy
by promising them Trieste and We
lezla Giulia as appeasement for
anticipated losses in the Deodeca-
nese and North Africa. However,
f anti-Fascist forces should secure
0reponderant influence in the
tome government, the Yugoslavs
would very probably show far
more willingness to compromise.
The peace conference would then
lave to decide between an auto
nOmous Trieste under Yugoslav
sovereignty and an international
port of Trieste run jointly by Bel
grade, Prague, Vienna, Budapest
and Rome.

BOOTH HARRINGTON
RAPS PEACETIME DRAFT

Booth Harrington is one of the
country's best known authors and
playWrights. Millions have derived
pleasure from his books and plays.
That he also thinks clearly on
social questions is indicated by a
.etter he wrote to Congressman
Louie" Ludlow, progressive In
llama Democrat, expressing grave
concern over the possibility that
congress may enact peacetime
CONSUMPTION as a result of what he
calls this present fit of our vola-
tile and emotional thinking"
Harrington points out that one
Of the bulwarks of the San Fran
cisco Security Charter is it's de-
mand for worldwide disarma-
ment, and he propounds this per
2inent question:
IF Congress votes for peace
time increase of armament, how
could it vote to join a League of
Nations whose basic requirement
IS the reduction of such arma-
ment."
1t would be the worst form of
cynicism, wouldn't it? were we to
join in demanding that other ma
tons disarm while at the same
time we were building up our own
military strength? The nations OF
the world would be suspicious, and
properly SO.

ENGLISH R~ECONVERsION

England may be jumping U. S. industry and labor to the punch
in beating bombers into bungalows"
u. S. unions have discussed and argued in favor of converting
huge aircraft plants, that would otherwise go to cobwebs, into the
production of prefabricated homes. While the u. S situation remains
in the exploratory stage the British have gone ahead and announced
that their aircraft industry will turn out $4,000 prefabricated aluminium
houses in 1945 alone.
Already scheduled is a 5,000-u unit monthly production. American
union representatives are particularly iked at American industry's
failure to devise a plan to reconvert to housing because they nave
figured that many u. S. aircraft plants could satisfy the desperate
need of many European nations for prefabricated housing. Now, they
contend, the British manufacturers will have the jump in the new
market.
Union leaders in the construction and aircraft industries are espe
cially bitter because England itself has been in such need of pre-
fabricated homes that the U. S. has knocked down temporary houses
erected for war workers in boom towns and shipped them to England

WOMEN FACE TEST
IN HOUSE

The nine women members of
the House will have a tough time
making up their minds on the pro-
posed equal rights for women"
amendment to the Constitution.
Although the idea is not a new
me, having been introduced al
most every year since 1923, it now
zones up when there are more
women in the House than there
lave I'VE been. And this time, too,
t has received the approval of the
House judiciary committee, some
thing that was never done before.
Opponents point out that there
S a catch in the idea of equality.
They say that in effect the pro-
posed amendment would nullify
every law in the country, fought
Ger and hard won in a hundred
year struggle, for the special pro-
ection of women.
Notwithstanding all objections,
most feminist and a majority of
professional women seem to favor
1T. The trades unions are unanim-
ously against it, having fought for
years to obtain the present pro-
tectlVe legislation.

Test Vitamin e to
Combat Rheumatic Fever

Rheumatic fever, dread cause OF
heart disease in children and young
adults, may yield to a chemical
found in red pepper and lemon peel.
According to a preliminary report
by DR.. James F. Rinehart, professor
of pathology in the medical school
on the San Francisco campus OF the
University of California, plant pig
ment, flavone, known as vitamin +.
has shown considerable promise as
treatment for the great disabler,
rheumatic fever.
While the bacterial cause OF rheu-
matte fever has not been definitely
established, it is generally accepted
that respiratory infection is at least
one factor. DR.. Rinehart advanced
the theory that nutritional defcien-
cy might put the body in such con-
dition that it was predisposed to
rheumatic fever under the attack OF
an infection such as tonsilitis.
Treatment of rheumatic fever pa
tents with vitamin c, though pos
sibly beneficial, was disappointing,
but when vitamin p was added, i'm
provement was noted. DR.. Rinehart
said.
while it seems improbable that
Improvement in these cases was CO.
incidental, this must be considered
a preliminary report and final judy
ment regarding the effectiveness OF
vitamin P in the treatment of rheu-
matte fever withheld until larger
number of cases has been studied"
DR.. Rinehart warns.

Of Fat Salvage

Benton county's 3,766 families

needs of 1,412 battlefront casual

tablespoon of waste kitchen fat,
it was estimated today by the

a wife, mother or daughter can
help safeguard the life Of a loved
one at the fighting front, and
salvaging used fats is one of
them," said T. A. Corners, of the

pany's national meat department.
'"The value of the 9,128,000 lbs.
salvaged by our customers thru
out the nation last year is evident
in the fact that single pound

Walter F. Hanson, manager of
the Potaltch Lumber Yard of

day evening when he and Mrs.

of 40 employees honored.
Service pins representing 40
years, 80 years, 20 years and 10

by Frank c. Kendall, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
company. Mr.. Hanson, having
joined the company in 1894 at
Moscow, Idaho, received the 10
year silver service pin. He be-
came manager of the Kennewick
yard in 1887.
In 1885, the company started
operating its yard in Kennewick,
with the purchase by the Potlatch
company of the Tum-A-Lum lum-

crates SIS yards with an annual
sales volume of some three mil
