Use Gross Income

IT SEEMS to me that the social
security to a farmer should be based
on his gross income instead of his
net income, as the most of the farm
ers have very small net income
and they are the ones that need
social security the most, and they
could pay on the gross income till
they had built up their social secur-
ity SO they would have some income
in old age. A laborer pays on his
gross income when he works on a
social security job, why not the
farmer?-HenrY Soderberg. Hill Co.

Strongly for Program

I AM STRONGLY for inclusion
of farmers and ranchers of the So
cial security program as it has been
outlined by President Eisenhower.

erous ranchers and farmers and I
think at least rs per cent are for it

Unemployment
Insurance Too?

A DYED IN the WOOL farmer or
rancher never retires! 1t is his occu-
patton, his business and hobby. He
would continue to farm even if it
were necessary to go out and work
at some other line of endeavor in
order to feed his family. I know
l have done it.
A farmer or rancher today has
fairly large investment working for
his interest. The social security
plan was intended for people who
depend upon others for employment
and it is a good thing. The same
as the Unemployment Insurance
Law was passed to protect the
people when they are unemployed.
I am against social security for
farmers and ranchers; but if it is
passed as a law, it seems just as
reasonable or unreasonable that we
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-02-15
Benefits Are Joke

WHY IN THE name of common
sense must we farmers and ranchers
be forced to contribute to a social
welfare scheme dreamed up by a
bunch of vote-conscious and money
conscious politicians.
The farmers and ranchers are
fundamentally cooperative group.
They must save or borrow a large
amount of capital to engage in farm
ing or ranching or inherit the ac-
cumulated capital of one or more
generations in order to become sue
cessful. We are always striving to
build our capital resources with adj
ditions of buildings, land and equip
ment. We pillow back our profits
into more production and in the
process strengthen the nation and
build our own social security. It is
the feeling of dependence on our
selves that moves us to greater ac-
complishments.
The money collected by this
scheme will no doubt go to balance
the nations cash budget which
means it will be spent or given away
to some undeserving foreign country.
I hope no one is so naive as to be-
lieve that this money would be
treated differently than the moneys
of the present social security setup.
AS for the benefits to me 80 years
from now, this plan is joke. In
flation is the rule, not the exception
in our time. This condition is
dead certainty in the absence of
gold standard. Let me illustrate: 20
years ago my fathers farm was
worth $40 an acre, 10 years ago it
was worth $25, I am now paying
him $50 and it's bargain.
In 80 years from now it may well
be worth 5000 or $500 or even 81 900.
I am not dreaming, this has hap
pened in every country that has ever
abandoned the gold coin for paper.
How far would $40 month go in
an economy where land SELL for
$1,000 an acre?-R. II. Peterson. Gla-
cier Co.

ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-05-19
From Nothing

OUR admiration for the Croatian Fra
~ ternal Union of today knows no bounds
when we study it's humble, almost unbe-
lievable, beginnings back in 1894.
The annals of the Society show that it's
strength as of January a. 1895, was in
vested in just 319 members and total as
sets of mere S4252
While perusing Minutes taken at the
first Convention of the Society, held Sep
tembcr q 1894, in Old Allegheny, Pa, now
North Side Pittsburgh, we note that refer
encc is made to the many troubles the or
ganization experienced at birth.
It's headaches were heightened only
few months later when it's first member
died in the person of one Martin Kasun
and it was faced with the problem of pay
ing $4,000 to his benefciaries, a problem
that had to be solved with less than $4,000
in assets at its command in 1895.
There was only one thing that could be
done: = Assess each of it's 319 members at
the time 30 cents and make good its con-
tract with the departed member.
This the Society accomplished and the
organization that could be trusted. That
was enough for our naturally suspicious
immigrants of those days and many set out
to join the young Society,"
From that beginning of virtually moth
ing in 1894 lot that was to be the Soci-
ety's for number of years, the ,Croatian
Fraternal Union has forged ahead to the
point where it today stands among the 25
greatest fraternals in North America and
represents the most powerful organization
of its type on the face of the earth.
The Croatian Fraternal Union of TODAY
boasts Of tens of thousands of adult and
juvenile members, many millions in assets,
and many many more millions of insurance
in force. Small wonder some envy it and
others hate its might.

Not In Vain

THE free world was shocked and sorely
grieved when the fall of Dien Ben Phu
was made public recently and left to his
torians to deal with years from now
Many international leaders had some
thing to say about the gallantry of those
who stayed to fight to the end in that be-
leagurcd fortress. Some spoke from the
heart, with sincerity; others in the stereo-
type language practiced by politicians.
Of all the comments we read, and they
were many, the words of United States SEN
ator William F. Knowland, Republican, Cal
ifornia, impressed us the most.
Said the Senator - CAS- / pointed out
the other day, the defense of Diem Bien
Phu may in history be comparable to the
defense of the Alamo, Bataan and Core
gidor, which also fell, and to the disaster at
Dunkerque. But in all those instances the
loss of the battle by brave men did not win
the war for totalitarian powers. In each
case it awakened the conscience of the
world and aroused people in those areas to
their danger"
Free men everywhere can take comfort
in these heartwarming facts which Senator
Knowland CLEANED from the pages Of the
bloody, bitter history of warning mankind,
facts which have been forgotten with the
rush of time and one crisis after another.
We have often said on these pages that
no man who ever fought and died for the
cause of freedom perished in vain. We
cannot but feel the same in the case of
those who went down when the French
Indochinese fortress of Diem Bien Phu fell.
They too, as time will prove did not die in
vain, nor gave their lives without reason.

Across The Border

ME- had the pleasure May s-9 last OF
w visiting Welland and Hamilton, Onta-
rio, Canada, in the company of our col
league, bro. Philip Vukelch.
Our first stopover was at Welland on
Saturday, May 8, where we had the prlvl-
lege and pleasure of speaking at Banquet
marking the 30th Anniversary of the Socl-
ety's "Croatian Sons" Lodge GIT. The fol-
lowing day, May 8, found us in Hamilton,
where we spoke during a Mothers Day
Program sponsored by that city's Junior
Order Nest 397.
While we heard many things during our
short stay across the border, 99fe of which
turned out to be of the pleasant variety, we
were amazed to hear in Hamilton that
someone read somewhere meaning the
Zaiednicar - that the Editor or Editors
of the Official Organ hold, or once held, the
Society's Canadian membership in disdain.
All of which is anything but the truth
The Editors of the Zajednicar like them
or not personally, esteem their fellow mem
bers in the Dominion no less than they do
those living in the United States To them,
every member Of the Croatian Fraternal
Union is to be respected equally.
There are no second class members in
the Society as far as the Editors of the
Official Organ are concerned. AS matter
of fact, no Official at the Home Office at
Pittsburgh has ever felt otherwise about
the membership as whole. Those who
"heard" or "read" to the contrary are
spreading deliberate, malicious untruths.
We have the greatest of respect for our
Canadian members and have long admired
them for the open manner in which they
champion the Croatian Fraternal Union,

Senseless Act

\ lANY of our people in America are
wi finding it extremely difficult, If not
impossible to bring relative or close
friend to this Country from Yugoslavia un-
der the harsh Refugee Relief Act.
AS enacted the Act set 100000 as the
number of emergency immigrants - retu-
gees, displaced persons, and surplus popu-
lation - to be admitted to the United
States over period of three years and
eight months, $1,000 less than the 100000
quota proposed by President Eisenhower.
Almost year of that period has gone
by a period which should have seen thou
sands of unfortunates among them at least
933 Yugoslavs, admitted to the United
States The records, however show that
only eight individuals entered in all.
The records also show that only 1924
assurances from United States citizens for
the admission of particular aliens abroad
had been received since the Refugee Rellet
Act became the law of the land. The pro-
cess involved has been made SO cumber-
some, so expensive and exasperating, that
it takes veritable battery of attorneys to
fill out single assurance form.
What else to deduce than to come to
the conclusion that those charged with ad
ministering this Act have decided that the
safest way to carry out it's terms is to keep
everybody out of a Nation which once well
coined the homeless and hopeless abroad
with friendly, open arms?
This is hardly becoming the traditional
American spirit of fair play hardly in keep
ing with the humanitarian principles which
made the United States great and respected
all over the world
Nor is it in keeping with the history of
America, those pages of time which show
that countless thousands of immigrants of
every religious and political belief came to
the United States year in and year out
decades ago to build here Nation which
millions all over the earth praised on high
as being shining example of democracy.
Something must be done to liberalize
the Refugee Relief Act and open the doors
of America to deserving human beings like
orphans displaced persons and surplus
population, men, women and children who
are looking to us, pleading with us, for help.
Surely America, with all it's might, has
nothing to fear from these helpless people,
be they Yugoslavs or any others doomed
to live life of hell on earth unless we come
to their rescue.
Or have we, as Americans, finally come
to the point where we fear everyone, where
we want nothing to do with anyone, where
we distrust even ourselves?

Use Pregummed Paper
The printing is being ac-
complished on equipment
previously procured for ex-
perimental purposes. The
ink used is a special Bureau
developed product having
quick drying qualities.
For the purpose Of
speeding production, the
stamps are being produced
on two types of presses; a
flatbed press, and a sheet
fed rotary machine. The
flctbed press is equipped
with four plates, the rotary
press with two.
Adoption of the change
in the method of printing
has permitted the utiliza-
ton of a pregummed paper
for the project. 1t is a
Tchemical pulp product and
has characteristics similar
to the postage stamp paper
now in regular use. In ad-
dition it has been found
possible to increase the
sheet size for the bi-colored
work from the customary
100 subjects to 400 sub
jects.
