THE MONKEYS VIEWPOINT

Three monkeys sat in a Coco
nut tree,
Discussing things that are said
to be;
Said one to the others, "Now
listen you two; >'''
There's certain rumors that
can't be true
That man descendant from our
noble race.
TIL every idea It's dire dis
grace!
No monkey ever deserted his
wife,
Starved her baby and ruined
her life.
And you've never known a
mother monk
To leave her babies with others
to bunk
Til they scarcely know who is
their mother.
And another thing you'll never
see,
A monk build a fence round
a coconut tree, '.~
And let the coconuts 60 to
waste,
Forbidding all other monks
a taste.
Why, if I put a fence around
this tree "
Starvation would force you to
steel from me.
Here's another thing monk
won't do, 49, g.
Go out at night and get on a
stew,
Or use club, or gun, or knife
To take some other Monkeys
life.
Yes, man descended, the 'onery
cuSS,
But brother, he didn't descend
from us.

icy Of the Hungarian govern
ment (Which Z controlled B Croa-
tia, designed to prevent any
contact between Croatia and the
Austrian part of the Austro-
Hungarian Empire. Once a rail-
way was built between Ljublja-
ma in zagreb, the capital Of
Croatia, as it was Immediately
after 1919, Croatia would have
become a great user Of Trieste,
had not the Italian frontier
barred the way. Then the Yugo-
slav share of the total would
have reached at least a million
tons. Iii
The other country which did
not use Trieste was Italy. The
Italian traffic with Trieste in
1913 was $4,000 tons, not 3 per
cent Of the total. The great port
of Venice was more than ade-
quate for Italian needs; and the
Italians desire Trieste not to use
it themselves but to ruin it for
the benefit of Venice, the mer-
chants Of which largely financed
the political campaign for it's
annexation, and to prevent it's
use by others.
The trade statistics of 1913
can be thus summarized: Tri-
este was essential for the for
eign trade of the Slovenes and
of northern Croatia; it was USE
full for the foreign trade of Aus
tria and Czechoslovakia; it
played no part whatsoever in
the foreign trade of Italy. Thus,
on economic grounds, Yugosla-
via had the decisive claim to
Trieste after the dissolution of
the Hapsburg Monarchy.
But to revert to the character
of Trieste before the Four
Years War, the great port traf-
fic naturally brought with it in
dustrial developments; not only
shipbuilding, but oil refineries,
food industries, and a great
banking organization.
Trieste, not surprisingly, be-
came the most important insur-
ance center in central Europe.
It became too, a cultural center.
Just before 1914 it was in
habited by at least two writer's
of European Importance, Svevo
and James Joyce 1t would be
fanciful to find much of Trieste
in Ulysses, though it must have
been through Tries ste that
Bloom reached Dublin.
The writings of Svevo contain
the full spirit of Trieste. Svevo's
work is interesting for another
reason. Though written in Ital-
ian (by no means the purest
Tuscan), they have nothing in
common with Italian literature,
but are manifestly the work of
a fellow-countryman of Schnitz-
ler. In other words they are
works Of Austrian" literature,
which merely happen to be writ
ten in italian, as Schnitzler's
happen to be written in German.
Both writer's felt as "Austrians"
and, like many who felt so, both
writer's were Jews.
Trieste thus grew, par excel
lence, as an Austrian" town,
created for an Austrian Imperi-
al purpose. 1t owed nothing to
Italian effort. Like the .Austri-
an Empire, it had no national
character. It certainly did not
serve, could never serve, any
Italian economic need. So far
as it served a national purpose,
that purpose, again like the
Austrian Empire, was German,
not Italian.

Not a town ln eastern Europe
but bears witness to this rule.
In 1915 two-thirds Of the sixty
thousand inhabitants Of Prague
called themselves German. A
century later, when the popula-
tion had Increased tenfold, only
twenty thousand Germans we re
counted.
Until 1880 the city council of
Budapest transacted it's bust
ness in German, since it was the
body of the city merchants.
Riga was German; the towns
of Transylvania were German;
even the trading quarters Of
Constantinople had a German
character.
Further east the Poles played
both parts in turn: in western
Poland there were German
towns in a Polish countryside,
in eastern Poland there were
Polish towns in an Ukrainian or
Lithuanian countryside - Lvov
the great example Of the first,
Wilma the great example of the
second.
The territory of the Slovenes
had two ."colonisers." On the
eastern side Of the Julian Alps
were the Germans, creating
towns with a German character
at Klagenfurt and Maribor. On
the Adriatic coast were the Ital-
ians. Two centuries ago every
fishing village and to outward
view every port from Venice to
the southern tip of Greece ap-
peared Italian. These towns and
villages were not inhabited by
Italians; but Italian was the
language of administration and
trade, especially the language of
maritime trade. Every seaman
spoke italian as the uniform of
his profession.
The peasants remained Slo-
vene as they had always been.
But until the beginning of the
nineteenth century peasants had
no political existence; their ma
tionality counted no more than
the nationality of their cattle.
Even the French revolutionaries
reckoned only with the educated
and propertied classes, reckoned
only with the towns. Hence in
1915 Istria seemed to be Italian,
SO far as it seemed to be any
thing at all, as Dalmatia (where
the Italians were not $40 of the
population) seemed to be Ital-
ian, as Bohemia seemed to be
German, or as the Ukraine
seemed to be Polish.
The great political event Of
the nineteenth century which is
shaping the destinies of central
and eastern Europe to the pre-
sent day, was the awakening of
the peasant peoples. Towns
grew no longer slowly, but at
b e a t h ] e SIS speed. Peasants
crowded in from the country
side too rapidly to be absorbed
into the urban nations. Their
peasant dialects revived as lite
rary languages, and every peas
a ant nation found intellectual
leaders.
This great process created, or
recreated, the Czech, the Croats,
the Sloyaks, the Ukrainians-
and the Slovenes.
IN much Of the area "coloni-
zed" by the Germans the So
venes asserted themselves with
out difficulty, and before the
end Of the nineteenth century
everybody recognized that Car
lnio|la, the sloysne territory be-
yond the Julian Alps, was in
,habited almost exclusively by
Slovenes. =
1t was the great misfortune
of the. Slovenes that, JUST before
their national awakening there
was created. on their national

The first official delegation
from Yugoslayia to the people
Of America will arrive in Pitts
burgh on January 18th.
Representing the Yugoslav
Red Cross, the delegation is
headed by Dr.. Robert Neubaur,
Lieutenant Colonel Of the Yugo-

Cross.
In this country to carry on Of

an woman who was formerly a
Lieutenant in the Partisan
army, and Lieutenant Gajo Rat

Pa. and became one of Yugo-
slavia's outstanding organizers.
The party is on a coast to

better acquaint the American
people with the needs and aspi-
rations of their country. Dr..

Pittsburgh, asserted that like
Americans, the Yugoslavs are

With human reconstruction
the story is quite different. DR.,
Neubaur said, Nearly 100000

may never wholly recover. The
$4,000 children suffering from
bone tuberculosis, and for whom
only 500 beds are available,
may not survive the next few
years.

Bowling At Lausche's

SfHt flt E"
The better keglers graduated
from E. 55 alleys and started to
roll at Lalsche's. These lanes
were built in 1916 with Mr.. Joe
Milavec as manager. He was the
father Of the well known pianist
Mrs. Vera Slejko and vocalists
Mary, Josephine and Joe.
In 1913 Joe Pozelnik became
manager of Lausche alleys. He
relates how in 1917 (before be
became manager), one Of the
hottest matches of that era took
place. 1t was a home and home
series featuring a young fellow
in his early 2Q's, frankie Lau-
sche and Frank Berk in a six
game doubles match against
Christy Thies and Joe Gruber Of
Gruber alleys. Thies averaged
236 in the series, and Lausche
in true to form hero style, aver
aged a sizzling 237 to win the
series with Berk. Among many
things related about Governor
Lausche's younger days, Pozel-
mix recalls seeing frankie with
mine own eyes cleaning alleys
on his knees"
In 1922 Pozelnik leased out
the alleys in his own name
thereafter known as Norwood
Alleys. Two Of the lanes had au-
tomato hand machines. Alleys
3 and I had small pegs in center
of each Of 10 spots. These pegs
were raised in place by the pin
setter with a device which he
stamped with his foot before
placing pin with hole in center
over the peg. This created some
fun when a ! ball would skin the
pin and it wouldn't fall.
A coal stove just a couple
feet back Of the runway on al
leys 2 and 3 heated the entire
establishment. While good Of
Joe, after opening the building,
was rushing to start a fire, the
bowlers crowded around the
pot-bellied stove to keep warm.
Before opening for business fol-
lowing cold nights Joe would
carry his stock Of pins near the
stove to warm them up for cou-
pie hours and overcome their
dampness. (These same alleys
Of today managed by Mr.. Bundy

Some of the bowlers Of that
period were: Joe Milavec, Fritz

Italian character. Even without
Trieste the italians would no
doubt have striven to maintain
their superiority over the slo-
venes just as other historic ma
tions," the Germans, the Poles,
the Magyars, resisted national
ennanci cipation elsewhere and re- :.
sist it to the present day. With
out Trieste the Italian claims
would have lacked plausibility
and substance. Even Italian pa
triotism could not have been in
famed for the twenty thousand
Italians of Gorica, the western
most part Of this territory.
Trieste was an artificial"
town, a creation of the railway
age and Of German plans for
European domination. Until the
1848s it had been but an obscure
fishing port of no trading i'm
portance. Its creator was Baron
Bruck, German from the
Rhineland, and the first great
advocate ~, Of the project which
later became known as :Mittle-
europe'-the plan for bringing
all Europe east of the Rhine un-
der single economic and poll
tical administration.
Bruck chose as the frame
work and trade name of this
plan the Austrian Empire and
the House of Hapsburg. Only
this mistake distinguished his
aims from those of William II
.or Hitler.
Bruck built the first docks in
Trieste and founded the first
shipping lines. In 1848 he be-
came Austrian Minister of Com
merce and then made the Aus
trian Empire a single tariff area
with Trieste as the principal
outlet to the world.
These great schemes could
never have been achieved be-
fore the age of railways, which
freed central Europe from de-
pendence on waterways and
ended the monopoly of the
Rhine, the Elbe, and the Dan
ube. So far as foreign trade was
concerned, the Austrian rail-
ways were made to center on
Trieste. BY the beginning of the
twentieth century there was a
double-track line to Salzburg
and SO to southern Germany; a
double-track line to Vienna and
so to Bohemia; a single-track
line through the Julian Alps to
the Slovene districts and Styria :;
double-track line to Ljubljana
which gave another route to
Vienna and which, after the
Four Years war, was extended
to Zagreb and so tapped Croatia
and western Hungary. But all
this time no line of Importance
connected Trieste with Italy.
Nor was this surprising-there
was no real connection between
Trieste and Italy.
Trieste fulfilled all Bucks ex-
pectations. 1t became Ito use
the tw n t h-century state
names) the port of Austria, of
Bavaria, of Hungary, of north
ern Yugoslavia, and to a consid-
cradle extent. of Czechoslovakia.
It's trade range reached to west
ern R m a MA and to the
Ukraine.
At the same time it would be
a mistake to exaggerate the i'm
portance of the share of central
European countries and to min
imize the share of the territor-
les which later became Yugo-
slavic. One of the more subtle
arguments of Italian apologists
is to suggest that Trieste is the
port of central Europe, not of
Yugoslayia. The trade figures
of 1919 do not hear this OIlt Of
