BASKETBALL
LAST week in League play the
"a" team made it no contest by
walking over a hapless St. Colum-
kille five 6O-9. The score could
have been much higher but our
boys merely went through the mo-
tions during the last quarter. The
"B" outfit ran into little more
trouble in subduing St. Jerome's.
The game was more or less exciting
all the way through but reached it's
peak in the last quarter when the
lead exchanged several times. FL
nally with seconds left St. Jerome's
popped one in from outside to knot
the count at the end of regulation
play. In the overtime our boys
scored quick bucket and foul shot
and then concentrated on defense.
This payed off and the final score
was 26-23 in our favor.
Tony O'Brites was high with IL
points and Chuck Machuta followed
with 8. In an independent game
Sunday night the "a" gang met

But don't take any credit away from

By Oswald A. Blumit

SPEAKING of the Baltic people,
we refer to Latvians, Lithuanians
and Estonians. None of them are
Slavonic or Teutonic. Latvians and
Lithuanians speak the oldest living
language in Europe. 1t could be
called the parent language of Euro
peans and has preserved many ar
chaic features which are closely re-
lated to the common Indo- European
primitive language. The Estonians
belongNto FinnoUgrian family tree,
but has no direct relation to the
Mongolian group Of languages, as
less accurate philologists often have
stated.
Dirva = Field. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1915-current, 1948-01-16

MOngollan3 group OF languages, as
less accurate philologists often have
stated.
Historic Background
The history Of the Baltic people
has been a highly dramatic one.
Their struggle against Danes, Ger
mans, Swedes, Poles and Russians
covers the span of many centuries.
Yet in all fairness it should be stat
ed that Germanic and Slavonic cul-
tural elements have nothing in COM
mon with the historical destiny and
the culture of the Baltic people. The
German always was looked upon as
the intruder and robber and the Rus
sian as backward and tyrannical.
Though Slavonic expansion west
ward and Germanic expansion east
ward often decreased the Baltic po-
pulation almost to extinction, yet
their outside influences have failed
to make any impressions on the Gus
toms, languages, culture and other
characteristics of the Baltic people.
1t is not true that the Baltic states
became an independent republic as
the result of the first World War.
Every intelligent student of history
knows that independence of the Bal
tic republics implied the last stage
of tenacious struggle for freedom
and independence.
Balts Naturally Tolerant
The Baltic people have always been
tolerant towards the culture and ma
tional peculiarities of other people.
The barbarians of modern times, as
represented by Hitler, Mussolini, To-
jo, Stain, Tito, and such-like, have
tried to enslave or exterminate con-
quered people, subjecting them to
completely different ways of life.
The Balts never sought to subjugate
foreign nationalities. The spirit of
tolerance permeates their history.
Nothing in further from the truth
than the accusations that the Balts
joined the Germans in numbering the
Jewish population of the Baltic Sta
tes. The Balts have never commit
ted any outrages among their mi
norities, as long as they have been
independent. Jews as we'll as other
minorities have always enjoyed the
same freedom and the same rights
as all other citizens.
Economic and intellectual achieve
ments of the Baltic people have sur
prised observers from the Western
Hemisphere of Democracies, who had
chance to learn of the real life
and culture in the Baltic States.
Has No Strategic Value for Russia
The Baltic States have no strate-

of the tenacious and brutal fight
carried on throughout the years
to achieve the gains they now
enjoy and not fully cognizant of
the hard learned lesson of the
need for unity, they are easy tar
gets for the ship owners and the
disruptive forces within the union.
Standard direly warns them
y. What is enjoyed today can
be lost unless we remember the
price that was paid for the condi-
tions that are now enjoyed" This
is born out through the threat of
the loss of the union hiring hall,
one of the most significant gains
of the seamen, in their approach
ing June 18th negotiations, due
to the passage of the Taft-Hart-
ley bill. All seamen would do
well to study carefully the pages
of history outlined in Standards
book as their immediate struggle
becomes sharper and more pro-
nounced each day.
This excellent book about our
heroic and colorful seamen is of
value to all trade unionists and
students Of labor history who will
see in this fine study an important
part of the pattern woven around
the efforts of all workers to wia
better living standard and ina
proved status in society.

Columbia Records recently dem
onstrated its remarkable efficiency
of operation as well as its far
reaching influence by issuing,
within three weeks of the death
of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the
most remarkable recordings of our
time. Titled Mahatma Gandhi: His
Spiritual Message. the single To-
inch record contains a brief philo-
sophical discussion recorded some
fifteen years ago by Gandhi him
self. Characterized by excellent
English diction and surprisingly
good recording, the record is both
understandable and fascinating to
the student of modern politics
which should include us all.
Decca Records used the pre-baa
period to pile up an impressive
series of recordings now being is
sued under the general title, Songs
OF Our Times. Eventually the
series viii include all the out
standing song hits from 1917 to
1943. Already available at 1894
per volume are the hits of 1928
GA tunes), 1929 (29 tunes), 1880
GA tunes), and 1881 GA tunesl. An
interesting summary of the events
of the year involved is included
on the inside covers of each al
bum.
The titles and lyrics tprovide
some interesting commentaries on
escapism as we'll as the slanting of
attitudes by the Tin Pan Alley
crowd. Also - let's face it - the
tunes bring back many memories
from the past that nothing else
could recall so vividly. More So
cial memories than we like to
realize are tied up with music of
small artistic value.

Standard, a former maritime
worker, who is today general
counsel to the National Maritime
Union, emphasizes the fact that
the seamen made real gains only
when they were united.
He traces the course of the
struggle from 1853, the period OF
shanghaiing and shipping crimps,
Of incredibly low wages and of
slavery without even the avowed
protection of slave owners. He
develops the painful and heroic
growth of budding unionism in
the face of terrific opposition from
the powerful shipping merchants.
THE FIRST permanent union
OF merchant seamen emerged in
1878 as the Lake Seamen's Union.
Standard describes the organiza-
tions of the seamen thereafter as
the Knights of Labor, Industrial
Workers of the World and the In
ternational Seamen's Union to the
final emergence in May 1887 OF
the National Maritime Union.
Underlining the entire organi-
rational development is the fail
ure of the maritime Industrial
workers to act as a united group.
This weakness still prevails but
not in the extreme form as mani
Tested in the days when the AFL
represented nineteen different
craft unions constantly engaged
in jurisdictional disputes.
STANDARD expos every
known stratagem of the shipown-
ers in their fight to break the I'M
ion from strikebreaking to labor
spies. OF all the techniques util-
lied, the anti-red campaigns stand
out as the most effective and the
most devastating.
In 1888 when the ship owners
were using their pay-off men to
disrupt the union, Joseph Curran
NMU President, stated in letter
to the membership 6. /. 1t ap-
pears to me that the excuse that
is being used by these people, that
of ousting the communists from
the union, is only a smokescreen
for their efforts to destroy the
union because they cannot dom
mate it."
Today the uaion is again torn
and divided with Joseph Curran
using the very same tactics he de-
nouneed in 1898.

Advancing Oil Stocks
Buoy Market al End
OF Indecisive Week
BY The Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Today, as
during the week, oils and special
issues provided the principal bullish
texture of a generally indecisive
stock market.
/. From Monday on mild reinvest-
rnent demand and individual situa-
tions served to prop favorites.
Doubters regarding business, taxes,
further possible antiinfiation moves,
European relief and complex foreign
affairs held to the selling side. The
Presidents message Wednesday
calling for lifted corporation taxes
brought moderate upturn in share
trends on the idea the proposal
would be ditched by Congress. In
creasing of the Federal reserve re-
discount rate late Friday had been
pretty well anticipated marketwise
and resulted in few repercussions.
Texas oil discoveries and rising de-
mand for petroleum products
spurred stocks of producing COM
panies.
Composite Of for Week.
In the concluding two-hour pro-
ceedings the Associated Press &C.
stock composite was unchanged at
65.7 but on the week was of 8 of a
point. Volume Of $50, 1000 shares COM
pared with 10000 in the preceding
Saturday session and was low
since November 20. The weeks
aggregate of 5,178,086 shares stacked
up against 6,941, 5s1 in the previous
6-day week of December 20. 1t was
the narrowest Saturday market
