Red Cross Drive On

On Monday 8 week-long drive to raise funds for the American Red Cross will begin, with local women, under the direction of Mrs. Merrill Coon, roll call chairman, canvassing the homes and business district.
 A goal of $250O has been set for the drive and It is hoped it will be reached in the one week, although the campaign continues the rest of the month.
 Many people forget the role of the Red Cross in peace time and do not realize the large amount of money needed for the neees- sary work the Red Cross carries on. Servicemen still receiving Red Cross benefits, as well as veterans, and many of the strIck- en areas of the world have only the Red Cross to look to for ald.
 The Red Cross role in disaster relief was emphasized this week with the death in Texas City, Texas, of $50 and injur.ng of thousands in a serles of explosion Wednesday when 8 ships in the harbor were blasted. With dew a tation worse than that ever suffered by any American city the Red Cross jumped in with food relief supplies and medical care.
 Women who will take part in the drive and their areas were announced by Ms. Coon as fol lows:
 Mission road-Margo Lester & Jerry Sears
 Bert's to Kraft's-Mrs. Mar
  iorie Gunderson & Mrs. Louise Warren
 Shelikoff to Gundlach's-Mrs. Henry Neseth
 Carlson hlll-Mrs. Morris Burnham
 Bank to Tony's-James Ben net
 Krart's down s. Brooklyn Mrs. Coon
 Hospi al to Erskine's to ba'- Der shop-Mrs. Coon
 Anyone missed in the drive may leave their contributions with L. K. Wodlinger, chapter or o. A. Torgerson.

AMERICANS IN EUROPE

As opponents fthe democracy to which we are try
ing to guide Europe Americans there should put for
ward their best behavior Two incidents have occurred
recently which have shocked and embarrassed Americans
at home One incident showed that United States service
men had let their homebred prejudice lead them into acts
of rowdysm because native girls had accepted colored
servicemen as partners at dance. The outbreak was
bad enough but might be found the service
mems limited training which did not furnish them with
adequate restraints for their conduct The other incident
involved men of the CLOTH whose profession has some
times been considered the most scholarly of all profess
sons They too let prejudice lead them into disgrace

penhagen hotel managers refusal of accommodations

Alliance What possible extenuation be offered in the
case of who bolsered by superior training and

racial hate by the soldiers and the Christian delegates
failed to outrage the matured decency of Europe the dis
graceful behavior" most assuredly did not lend any
port to the American policy of helping that country

The Common Defense
OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
THE DISPLACED PERSONS

BY REV. WILLIAM c. HERMAN

When the war ended there
were 100000 people in Europe
who were displaced persons.
They were nationals Of cuntries
who had been uprooted by the
war. Since vi Day more than
100000 OF these have been re-
turned to their native land
mainly by the help Of the armies
OF the United Nations and UN
IRA. Remaining, for the most
part in Germany and Austria
are some $4,000 people, who,
due to variety of causes, we're
compelled to move from their
home lands and who now can
not return t othem for fear OF
being prosecuted or executed.
These unhappy ones without a
country, without a state to pro-
tect them, with no opportunity
t olive a normal life and daily
facing discouragement and de-
moralization-these people cry
out for our help-and they
should get it.
Legislation is now being con-
sidered to admit 100000 of them
into the United States over the
next four years-1O0,0O0 each
year. Opponents Of this pro-
posal object that the displaced
persons are communists. Nom
sense. More than 100000 Of
them are refugees from the
communiSt-dominated counties
of Poland, the Baltic states, Yu-
goSlavia and Russia. They are
anti-communist. They fear to
return other native lands,
now controlled by communists,
lest they should be imprisoned,

apparent to me that some of
cur singers cannot make all the

for the proper expression of
words. Ie seems impossible for
many singers to sing the vog els

which viii give you control of
all muscles necessary to good
voice production, according to
the present accepted standards.
Now, the development OF the
American Method that is, the
singing OF the American lam
guags with American pronounc-
ing diction, enunciation, is my
in lite. Some say our
language cannot be sung. I say
i Is sung. I have sung it for
many years and have not yet

thodox. Some 100000 are Jew
ish.
Opponents Of this measure
charge that oadmit these refu-
gees to America would endanger
the jobs of American citizens.
In the first place, more than so
per cent of them are women and
children who are not COMPETE
tors in the labor market. In
the second place, all refugees
coming to America would be
consumers which means that
they would add to The demand
for production. And more pro-
duction means more employ
ment. In the third place, as Mr..
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
has said, THE small number adj
mitted each year, many of whom
will be directed away from large
cities, cannot have any serious
effect upon our employment
problem. On the contrary, there
are agricultural workers domes-
tics, nurses, doctors and other
skilled and urskilled workers
among the displaced, who will
fill some of or manpower short
ages and who will bring indus
trial and scientific skills to the
United States" In the fourth
place every displaced person
admitted to the United States
must be sponsored by an aft
davit from an American individ-
ual or organization guaranteeing
his support.
How can we-a nation found
ed by refugees and made strong
by refugees-cIose our doors to
the oppressed of this generation
particularly when we urge
ether nations to open theirs?
