WOMEN NOW
OUTNUMBER MEN

For the first time in the nations
history, women outnumber its
ncn. The margin is small-only
S.000-but large enough to give
ne gentler sex something to crow
over.
This was revealed in a report
ssued by the Bureau of the Cen
us. On July l, last, the population
Of the country, including members
Of the armed forces overseas, was
1873, 100, 874.
In all previous years there have
been more lei than women. In
the 1910 census the excess of men
was 7O0,O 600.
More than 13, 1000, 900 babies
have been born since the last cen
sus, but that impressive figure war
offset by about 1000, 900 deaths
including military casualties.

MINIMUM WOMAN
WAGE S1,643

For some years employers have
contended that a woman worker
who lives with her family could
exist on practically any wage, nc
matter how small.
That the theory won't hold wa
Ter has just been demonstrated by
Edward Corsi, whom New York's
Governor Dewey named industrial
commissioner.
A survey conducted by trained
Investigators in IA Empire State
cities disclosed that the average
woman worker living as a mem
Der of a family group" needs d
minimum of $1,643.53 a year,
CorSi said.
That figure, he emphasizes, does
not include l%uxuries, extremes of
any kind or even many desirable
things that are in fairly general
use.
The investigators reported that
in the year preceding September
last there were substantial increas-
es in the cost of housing, clothing
food, personal care and other es-
sential items.

vehicle to carry them to the hos
pital.
There is little talk in Yugo-
slavia about considerations with
other Balkan or Central European
countries. All such schemes seem
to be postponed until Berlin
falls" In the meantime the Ma
tional Liberation Front is work
ing on the creation of the largest,
strongest possible federal Yugo-
'slavia. Last November official Bull
garian spokesman stated in Bel
grade the right of the people of
Bulgarian Macedonia to join Yu-
goslav Macedonia within Yugo-
slavia. Very likely the National
Liberation government will claim
Pechuj lost to Hungary after the
last war. 1t is certain the entire
National Liberation Front will
throw every ounce of its strength
into getting Yugoslav : Inhabited
provinces of Istria and Goricia to-
gether with Trieste, cara and the
Croatian islands from Italy. Even
Albania might enter Yugoslavia
as a federal unit. Indications at
present are that a federal Yugo-
slavia thus enlarged would then
enter into military alliances with
anti-fascist Bulgaria, Rumania and
CZechosloVakia-a sort of enlarg-
ed anti-fascist little entente-sub-
ject of course to Moscow and Lon
don agreement.
Yugoslavia is an ideal testing
ground for permanent Russo-An-
glo-American accord. Although
National Liberation Front often
leans on Moscow's guidance, it has
proved very amenable to British
suggestions. / al quote firm open
ly expressed, belief of highest Ma
tional Liberation spokesman that
without lasting Yugoslav agree
ment with America and Great
Britain, especially latter, interna-
tional security of Yugoslavia and
her internal peace cannot be fully
guaranteed.

The secret of Marshall Tito'S
military success is to be found in
his craftsmanship. From the be-
ginning of 1941 he appeared as ma
tional rather than communist
leader; as Yugoslav rather than
Croat champion. From the begin
ming he appealed not only to all
Yugoslav political parties but to
all YugosiaV nationalities to gang
up" against invaders. He has been
offering the only possible solution
for Yugoslavia's longstanding ma
tionality problem-union in fed
eralism. Tito will repeat again and
again how during conversation
with Mihailovich in 1941 he split
with him on two issues: strategy
and relentless fighting and pro-
gram of national equality. He was
destined to win against Mihailo-
vich first because he appealed to
the heroic instinct of the Yugo-
slav peoples by preaching constant
fighting regardless of odds, second
because he rejected obsolete per-
nicious idea of Serbian supremacy
and stood for absolute equality of
the Yugoslav nationalities. Thus
from the very beginning he drew
upon the militant manpower of
everyone of Yugoslav nationalities
while Mihailovich remained re-
stricted to shallow human reser-
voir of chauvinistic fraction of
Serbs.
Outstanding anomaly of present
day situation is that Marshal
Tito's National Committee and
Anti-Fascist Council exercise SOW
ereign power in country and King
Peter has his government outside
the country. Partisans enjoy
healthy physical existence of their
own but no rights in international
society. They point out that the
constitution of 1881 on which the
king and government base their
authority was decreed u~nilaterally
by late King Alexander after he, in
1929, abolished the constitution of
1921 and assumed dictatorial pow
ers. By royal constitution of 1881
the monarchy is sole source of
power and it is this constitution as
we'll as the monarch's position
that the National Liberation Front
desires to submit to popular vote.
In this fourth winter of hostil-
tiles conditions in Yugoslavia are
appalling beyond Imagination. In
certain parts of Bosnia and Lika
one can walk for days without
! meeting man or beast. Grass grows
where once there were villages.
Out of Yugoslavia's $4,000, 900
people nearly 2,000,0 900 have per-
iShed in battles, m~aSSacres, cOncen-
tration camps, from disease, star
walton and poverty - proportion
ately highest toll of life suffered
by any nation in this war. Nation
al Liberation authorities claim
nearly 200, 900 dead Partisan SOL
diers alone. 1t is estimated that
this winter one-half of the Yugo-
slav population will go barefoot.
Even in Belgrade many of Tito's
soldiers can still be seen marching
without boots or without over

coats in Sub-Zero weather. On
mountain roads half-clad peasant
women hide in bushes at the ap-
pearance of a stranger. Less than
20 percent of arabic area of Yugo-
slavia was soWn last autumn.
Thousands more Yugoslavs will pay
with their lives if a united govern
ment recognized by the Allies en-
titled to UNRRA and Lend-Lease
help is not formed Immediately.
In the past disagreement between
UNRRA and Marshal Tito's Ma
tional Committee seemed to be
that UNRRA insisted on distribu-
ton of relief in Yugoslavia
through its own organs while Ma
ticnal Committee refused relief
unless distributed through Nation
al Liberation authorities. Appar-
emily UNRRA suspected PartiSans
of eventually using relief for po-
litical purposes while Partisans
were afraid of UNRRA's use of
relief to weaken authority of Ma
tional Liberation regime. Accord
ing to Mr.. Lehmann's latest de-
claration this point seems to have
been cleared up: relief will be dis
tributed through native author
tiles with UNRRA observers on
the spot.
If Lend-Lease and UNRRA are
to send any help to Yugoslavia it
should be clothing, footwear and
lorries first of all and in great
quantities. A damaged Allied par
achute today takes place of gold
in Yugoslavia - people will give
you anything they have for a strip

Of Serbia, working full speed, can
not help greatly the clothing and
footwear situation. Belgrade has
no heating this winter. Rate of

ly. Transport in Yugoslavia has

bombers. Railways and roads r

very few lorries for army and
none for civilian needs. Livestock.
cattle, horses and mules have been
destroyed or plundered by the
enemy up to 80 percent, especial
ly in traditional livestock regions
of Slovenia and Bosnia so that
people lack even most primitive
forms of transport oxcarts. There
are 100, 900 tons of surplus wheat
rotting in Voivodina while in
Montenegro, Dalmatia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina people r dying of
famine by thousands for lack Of
transport. Serbia has some food

champion of regular trade unions.
He is Paul r. Porter, chairman
of the shipbuilding Sterilization

duction Board. He has been
chosen by the White House for the
advisors position, with the A. F.
of L. and c. l.. O. Endorsement.
Porter comes from a railroad
workers family, His father, a
member of the Railway Clerks,
worked on the Union Pacific and

himself a member of the NeWspa-
per Guild and the Transfers
Union.
For some time he edited Keno

men but deprives them of that
political liberty which gives them
hope of economic progress.
Nazi thinking robs labor of their
free democratic institutions = of
their right to Work-to live-to
think. Racial discord and dishar-
mony has no place in the labor
movement and that small minority
that stirs UP racial hatred and an
tagonisms must be driven from
within the ranks of organized
labor.
Guard the treasure of racial UNI
derStanding; of knowledge and en-
lightenment in your own minds.
Make them the food of both your
body and soul. Make liberty into a
prayer to be repeated day and
night, a song to be sung in your
hearts. Teach these prayers and
songs to your children-for that is
the most important thing of all.
Teach your children the truth
about the disciples of race hatred
and save them from the mental
degradation of Nazism. Teach
them to be willing to suffer for
truth and freedom - since it is
their fate to be born in a time
when they have to choose between
defiance and enslavement worse
than death.
We have an old motto in our
country: Rebellion to tyrants is
obedience to God"
Those who put this motto into
action learn an important lesson
of the moral life; that out of resist
ance comes strength to resist.
