which served as a kind of
guide book for Stains poll

Comrade Varga prophesied
that despite her wealth the
United States would not be
able to carry on indefinitely
the burden Of supporting
economically and militarily
all the free nations. When the
Varga predictions showed no
indication Of Undertaking.,
Stain decided to push on
the hands Of the clock. Ac-
cording to intelligence reports
which are given credence in
Washington. he ordered the
invasion Of the Republic Of
Korea by the Northern Com
munists. suspeoting that the
United States would engage
itself somehow or other in
the defense Of South Korea.
It is for this reason. the re-

the meeting. was not ordered
to return and cast his veto
against United Nations inter-
vention in the Korean affair.

sour for the Korean Commu-

to intervene. thus making the
brush fire a full-fledeed war.
The Kremlin took q calculated
risk Of seeing the Communist

not have the means to meas

nilly into the Soviet orbit. It
will depend on Soviet train
erS in the use Of machines,
and on the Soviets for spare
parts.
What the Communists
grant without strings"
nevertheless has strings In
the mere fact that aid, for
political reasons, can, at any
time, be suspended or with
drawn.
The ultimate fate of the
free world lies with the
primary producers of Asia
and the Middle East and de-
mands more than arms to

intelligent and energetic eco
nomic cooperation carried
on unremittingly until these
countries can build up,
through industry and trade,
sufficient capital to run on
their own.
In this competition, Com
munist states operate as a
team. Economic aid does not
come only from Russia, but
from Czechoslovakia, Poland,
East Germany, and Red
China, under an obviously
coherent strategy. There is
no reason whatever why the
advanced nations Of the
West should not develop
similar teamwork.
But no integrated economic
strategy can be developed on
a year-to-year basis.
Armaments will prove use
less against successful Soviet
economic penetration.
Those who cannot see that
miss the obvious.

Question Raised on Legality of Acts

the disability be removed, or
q President shall be elected.
There is no reason, Of
course, why a constitutional
amendment cannot be adopted
which would give Congress
the right to pass a law de-
terminine who shall succeed
a President in the case Of
temporary inability" But,
unfortunately, the present
Constitution does not give
Congress that power.
Speaker Rayburn has just
put his finger on this very
weakness when he says that
it may be all right for the
President to write a letter
telling the Vice President
when to take over his duties.
but the moment the Vice
President takes the oath as
President Of the United States
he becomes the Chief Execu-
tive and, under the existing
setup, cannot relinquish the
presidency and give it back
to the once disabled President.
The whole controversy turns
on what is really meant by the
clause inability to discharge
the power and duties" of the
presidency. What does the
word inability" cover? Is it
solely physical inability? Or
does it include mental in
ability" and could it con-
ceivably mean political in
ability" too?
The latest Webster's Die
tionary defines inability" as
mot able" The word able"
includes competency. and this
enters the domain of eff
cheney. which to be sure,
would require the exercise
of a political judgment by
somebody. Even if the power
were given Congress by a new
constitutional amendment to
define the circumstances I'M
der which a President may be
declared to be unable to con-
tinue ito discharge the powers
and duties" Of his office. it
still would remain q question
of what shall be done if, for
example, q President has a

Then and Now

IT is NOW clearly evident that any CFU
! Membership Campaign calling for a
Grand Prize Award of trip to Yugoslavia
requires little or no selling on the part of
the Home Office.
AS for two good reasons.
The first such drive was conducted in
1916; the next 10 years later.
The first, long, drawn out Campaign,
netted 6,297 new members and $5,195, 700
in insurance; the second only months
in duration drew 4,949 new members
and 81, 1877 900 in insurance.
Much is being said in both Sections of
this issue about the amazing number of new
members enrolled during the January and
February phases of the Society's present
Campaign, which calls for visit to Yugo-
slavia in 1860
Since the records show that those two
months brought in total of 982 new adult
and juvenile members, we concede the
Growing to be in proper fraternal order.
However, records also show that the
January and February ends of the 1856
Campaign were slightly better - 351 adults
plus 636 juveniles for total of 987 new
members. Or 5 better than now.
There were also many more listed in
early March of 1856 as competing for the
trip to Yugoslavia. But that was a seven
months project and time counted.
Today, the Society's Field Workers have
all of two years to get around to ''working'
their way to Yugoslavia in 1860. Compared
to those who sought the same prize in 1856,
our present recruiters have been handed
tailor made Campaign.
4 X
One more difference between this and
it's counterpart drive of 1856.
In 1856 those striving to win trip to
Yugoslavia were bombarded with outside
propaganda and rank distortion of the truth
in an effort to dissuade them from going
overseas and, failing into the clutches of
the forces Of evil" ...
Well. 130 made that historic trip. And
nothing happened to anyone.
We know - we were there.
Nor will anything happen to those who
visit Yugoslavia in 1860.

ALMOST half Of the ma

have been freed from "the ty-
ranny of the needle" in the
past six months, and the sto-
ry behind their liberation is a

Diabetes is an ancient, but
still obscure, disease in which
the body cannot convert su-

gy; injection Of insulin into
the body by a hypodermic sy-
ringe enables diabetes to con-
troll their disease.
Orinase enables the ma.
jority of diabetes to live a
normal life without resort
ing to insulin injections.
It has been hailed by some
scientists as perhaps the most
important stimulant to basic
research into the cause and
possible cure for diabetes

What Next?

MOT so LONG ago we published a fea-
y ture article dealing with what has be-
come national problem - trading stamps
and their impact on households in America.
Now the Nation is about to be subjected
to new takeoff on the theme.
What it will amount to is this A new
company in the Midwest is ready to offer
$4,000 life insurance policies as premiums
for savers of it's stamps.
The companys stamps are to be given
to the consumers at the rate of one for each
$1.00 in purchases and pasted in special
book When the consumer fills the book
with 200 stamps - now get this - he will
have in his hands a self mailer with an in,
surance application attached Once signed,
he's insured
. Available to anyone between one and
65 without medical examination, the policies
last for one year. The policies can be built
up $4,000 at a time until they total $4,000,
the maximum that can be in effect for one
person at one time.
Chances are that this latest wrinkle in
trading stamps will appeal to the public,
which is always looking for something for
nothing. But there's rub.
How is this company going to get it's
policies past the eagle eye of the watchdogs
Of the insurance industry = the insurance
departments of every single State in this
Country?
Even if it is for free gimmick.

Conference of the United Croatian Frater-

However, we have since learned that the
Conference was the best in years
Making it so were 90 Delegates repre-
senting 27 Lodges scattered throughout the
length and breadth of the area.
And of the 90, better than one-third are
still young in fraternal years.
. Recent months saw us publishing the
viewpoints of many younger members inter-
ested in their Society and some Of it's prob
lens - like Field Men, New Home Of
flee, Scholarships, etc.
Some of the writer's showed us that they
are capable of far more than penning an
article for the Zajednicar. They appear to
be natural born men Of vision.
Others, brilliant in their own right are
cut out to be real leaders.
The Society needs them all.
It needs them to serve in Lodge work,
in United Lodges Committees, in Cam
paigns, etc. 1t welcomes their ideas.
