Non-Aggression
Balkan peace treaties are generally retailed
.' at the rate of three Greek drachma, or t four
Turkish piasters, the dozen. The one concluded
Monday at Sofia, between Turkey and Bulgaria,
. is no exception to this sera p-of-pa per tradition. '
At best it was merely a restatement of treaty
obligations which the two states, together with
Rumania Yugoslavia and Greece, accepted
. among themselves in 1938. At worst it is a
means of politely leaving Greece fellow Balk
an state, in the lurch at a time when she can
least afford to be left there. Yet for all its
verbal implications, the njbw treaty can hardly
; be expressed to alter the, actual situation which
exists in the Balkans by one jot or tittle.
Germany, of course, is the final arbiter of all
Balkan relations west of the Straits of the Bos
phorus. She has now nearly half' a million
. troops in Rumania and Bulgaria, compared to
which the armies of the Greeks and the be
; draggled legions of the inheritors of the Caes
ars are at a very great discount. She can, if
' she will, dictate a peace between Greece and
Italy tjomorrow or the day after, and so far as
Bulgaria is concerned, nothing that she can
possibly do will affect the cogitations of the
great planners of the new order in the Berlin
chancellery.
Beyond the Bosphorus for the time, astride
it lies Turkey, and Turkey is presently leagued
' as a non-belligerent with Great Britain. She
has not yet come under German domination, as
witness her crowings about "two million bayo
nets" which will bar the way to the reich to
the Near East and the orient. But she is ad
mittedly under the thumb of Russia, and when
the Soviet Frankensteins recently offered up
Bulgaria as an open sacrifice to Germany, they
impliedly offered their influence and control in
Turkey on the same altar. If the Kremlin
should mutter, Turkey would have to forfeit the
Straits, much less inherit a positive policy and
lend active aid to the Greeks. And the same
mutterings would set Turkey on Bulgaria her
self, just as German commands would send the
Bulgarians on the road to Istambeul and the
Golden Horn."
. Treaties, it should be remembered, are valid
only so long as they reflect the actual, and not
- - the wished for, distribution of political power.
Dress
Clothes don't make the man and in that sense,
type doesn't make the newspaper. The parallel
is not however quite accurate. Type dress is
more intimately associated with the mechanics
of supplying the public with news, than wear
ing apparel with the functioning of the human
' being.
In "changing its dress" The Statesman's first
concern was legibility; ease of reading. Read
ers with excellent vision will find that the new
Statesman causes less eye-strain; readers who
1 have trouble with small type will notice a vast
. improvement in legibility. Take a copy of The
Statesman printed prior to Tuesday and hold it
at a distance from the eyes at which the type
blurs; hold today's paper at the same distance
and note that it does not blur.
It is true that mechanical changes in them
selves do not improve a newspaper's content.
Yet improving the medium of expression does
inspire greater effort; and more than that, in
this case the changes effected will help to make
! possible the presentation of a greater volume of
news.
This page joins with the other Statesman "de
partments in the dress-changing process. In
changing the width of the editorial column the
purpose was neither that of becoming "narrow
er" or even that of making two columns grow
- where there was but one before. This format
was chosen because it better suited the new size
type in which the editorials are set, and because
it afforded more elasticity in the amount of ma
' ' terial accommodated. '
, " We hope you like our new dress.
Foresight
And let them gather all the food of those
good years that come, and lay up corn under
the hand of Pharoah. and let them keep food
in the cities. And that food-shall be a store to
the land against the seven years of famine,
which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the .
land perish not through the famine. -Prom
' 41st chapter of Genesis.
Lean years numbering somewhat more than
seven have been experienced in the land of
' America but except in a few areas drought
was not their cause nor was failure to lay op in
advance a stqpe of corn, the oversight thai made
them painful. Rather was it, in some respects,
just the opposite. There would seem to be little
profit in renewing, or even reviewing, the fun
damental argument of recent economic history.
There is on the other- hand potential profit
in recognizing that America is entering upon
"years of great plenty" be they seven or more
or less; and that there is distinct prospect of
subsequent "years of famine" in which as Jo
seph said, "all the plenty shall be forgotten.
Realizing all this, it is worthwhile to take note
of the recent lean years to the extent of noting
that their outstanding superficial characteristic
was a lack, not of the means of survival but of
profitable tasks. In a , word, unemployment.
Now the Bend Bulletin, in noting all this
and quoting in parallel columns Joseph's ad
vice to Pharaoh and President Roosevelt's sug-
gestion that a "reservoir of public works proj
ects" be held in readiness for the coming lean
years, suggests that there is "a job for a Jo
seph. Having interpreted Pharaoh's dream,
Joseph was given the task of putting into execu
tion the solution, which Joseph also bad pro
posed. If this were Pharaoh's time, it might be
profitable to discover exactly who interpreted
. the dream." : ':.;VV! 'r"i r.
; These are however other times and neither
the dream nor its solution is the sole property
of any one man. All of us have experienced
the dream more or less in the nature of a.
nightmare of what may happen when war and
defense industry are at an end. 'The solution
was applied some years ago in Scandinavia, if
not elsewhere Ore of its best expressions in
"No Favor Sways Us; No Fear Shall Awe"
From First Statesman, March 28, 1851
-a candidate for
TK
ful MaUaa
America was written more than a year ago by
guess whom? Wendell "Willkie, before he was
anything.
But even as the dream and the solution are
-shared by many, so must be its execution. It is '
going to require the courage of a Joseph; for j.
it demands an unaccustomed forebeafance. In !
order to have a reservoir of public works, it will '
be necessary that when a community recognizes j
a need and maps a project, it will put it in the
reservoir and not into immediate production. !
It will be necessary for example, that Salem's j
ten-year planners take cognizance of the na-
tional situation rather than merely the local I
situation. '
Most of the projects which are merely desir- I
able and not immediately necessary will, in fact,
have to be deposited in the "reservoir. There j
too, as the Bulletin suggests, might even go some I
items which normally fall into the classification j
of "maintenance." Determining what are im
mediate needs and what may be left for the lean
years is going to require, if this plan is followed,
whole regiments of Josephs.
Certain state senators have retorted, as is
their right, to comment in the press which they
consider unfriendly, unfair or incorrect. It seems
however scarcely appropriate that they should
refer disparagingly, session after session, to the
apparent youth of the scribes whose comments
arouse their ire. How many sessions must a
reporter cover before he ceases to be a "young
sprout?" Some of them have seen more ses
sions than the critical senators.
The census bureau estimates that 2,350,000
babies were born in the United States last year,
100,000 more than in 1939 and a ratio of 18 per
1000 of population compared to the depression
low of 16.5. But after figuring in such extrane
ous factors as the coming-of-age of a large post
war crop of children and the increase in mar
riages due to better times, the bureau insists
that the birth rate is still dropping.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. Like all successful re
form movements, having conquered all, the Roose- I
velt majority on the supreme
court is showing signs of i
breaking within itself.
The "ah's of lawyers close
around the court could be
heard unmistakably when the
Frankfurter wing issued last
Monday its second split opinion
within a week against a new
deal minority. First turn came
in a 3 to 3 ruling, legalizing in
junctions against picketing in
cases of expected violence. The
second showed precisely the
same division limiting the fed-'
eral trade commission from in-
trastate regulations against business. These points
involved fundamentals.
It seems as if the academicians are cutting off
somewhat from the reformers. The majority is
being led by legalists Frankfurter and Murphy,:
turning away from the crusaders, Black,' Douglax
and Reed. The reform trio seems to favor any ac
tivity that appears socially advisable and search
ers for legal excuses to justify it The Frankfurter
leadership obviously wants to stick to law. I j
In the process. Justice Frankfurter is becoming
the unofficial chief justice of the court His leader
ship of the majority is establishing him as a domin
ant figure. He is writing far more opinions than
anyone else. -
Not one of Wendell Wilkie's suggested amendJ
ments to the sell-lease-lend-givc bill was even pro-!
posed in the senate foreign relations commtitee.
Wilkie thought the countries should be named, a
monetary ceiling should be fixed, congress should,
be .consulted and the word, "facility" should be
clarified so the president cannot control broadcast-
ing-,and newspapers. Some of these suggestions
were discussed but no amendment -was offered by
any of the republicans to carry them out !
This failure is a fair sample of the silent anger of
so law it republican legislators because Mr. Willkie
has chosen to go his own way. - '.. .; j
Willkie's suggestion that the White House should
let Britain have ten more destroyers a month does
mat seem to have met with any more success in the
eaecviive branch than his legislative proposals in
' congress.
Obviously Willkie was speaking with authority.
His friends claim Mr. Roosevelt indicated some sort
of approval in their private confab.
Yet unquestionable administration authority
holds no destroyers will be released for a long time
to come, if ever. ' J '
Internal cleverage in the opposition is what made
Mr. Roosevelt's task in the senate much easier. In
their private meetings the opposition senators could
not even get together behind the Taf t substitute for
a straight $2,000,000,000 credit Their minds would
meet only on such broad fields as opposition to re
lease of the navy. . !
Plain fact Is, number of opposition senators do
not want to aid Britain. Others want to aid in vary
ing degrees. Forceful opposition, therefore, was im
possible, . , , -; -p !
Senator Wheeler, who has been a bad boy, is suf
fering the consequences. His proposals for sena-
" torial investigation of the federal communications
commission and patent controls are bottled up in
the audit committee, controlled by the admlnistra-
. tidn. - No money will be allowed him for these in
quiries as long as the administration feels he might
misuse the money by Investigating It;. . Leon

j " 'Germ of a great State. Our

! those of the country of our ad
' option. We flatter ourselves that
j we are the germ of a great

' an early tone to the moral and

that the destinies of our pos
terity will be intimately af

who immigrate to this country.
The territory must populate. The

must say by whom. The natural
resources of the country, with
a well judged civil code, will
invite a good community; but
a good comunity will hardly im
migrate to a country which
promises no protection to life
or property. Inquiries have al
ready been submitted to some
of us, for information of the
country. In return, we can only
speak of a country highly fav
ored by nature. We can boast
of no civil code. We can promise
no protection but the ulterior
resort of self-defense. By whom,
then, shall the country be pop
ulated? By the reckless and un

G.W Asks questions about
lawn grasses.
Creeping bents are sometimes
planted by stolen (prostrate
shoots), but in Willamette val
ley seed is most frequently used.
The bent grasses are tolerant
of considerable soil acidity,' but
will thrive in neutral soils. They
also stand close mowing.
Kentucky blue grass is one
of the finest lawn grasses you
can obtain, I think.
All grasses on lawns need f er
top dressings to keep them in
good condition.
Mrs. AA. Reed Asks what
to do with neglected glad bulbs.
I would store the bulbs in a
cooler place than she has been -keeping
them. It is a little to
early to plant them out The
tips might freeze. As the bulbs
ha vent been treated, I would
suggest treating them with cor
rosive sublimate (one tablet to
one pint of water) just before
planting. Napthalent flakes ,
would still control, but the
spring treatment sometimes
causes a little delay and a little '
uneven development
LJV-Asks about how to im
prove the growth of her kal
. xnia. .
I wonder if she gave it much ..
water last summer and late in "

way- down to the roots. Some-
- times we think we have watered
when t the moisture has not
reached down more than two
"or three inches..

and the unprincipled sharpers
of Spanish America? Well are
we assured that it will cost the
Government of the United States
more to reduce elements so dis
cordant to social order, than to
promote our permanent peace

of Congress. Nor can we suppose
that so vicious a population
could be relied on in case of
a rupture between the United
States and any other power.

intercourse with the natives

the same cause which .will In- -terrupt

for his mission, which resulted -in

largest mission force mat '
had ever up to that time left '
any country for a foreign port
Balloon Busted
(Oregon was a foreign country
then.) Brosnan said, page 224:
"Representative Caleb Cush
ing, member of the House Com
mittee on Foreign afairs, re
quested Lee, as an actual resi
dent for nearly four years of
the jointly occupied area, to
send him definite information
concerning the remote region. He
desired specific facts concerning
the total population Of Oregon,
the classes that comprised it,
and the objects of Lee's mission.
(Cushing was a well known pub
lic man, a member of the mara
time firm of Cushing & Comp
any. In 1840, Capt John H.
Couch, a representative of the
Cushings, arrived in Oregon. He
came back- far 1043 nd later
became one of Portland's found
ers; had a land claim on the
site of that city; became weal
thy.) "The number of persons con
nected with his mission, Lee told
Cushing, was 45, but the . con
templated reinforcement he was
seeking (the: Lausanne party)
would bringthe total to nearly
70. It actually brought it to
about 97, and, by births, was
soon over 100.
"He (Lee) estimated that
there were 45 settlers in the Wil
lamette valley, with Indian
wives and half-breed children,
and ventured the prediction that
the immigration of 1640 would
bring 20 additional settlers."
(Counting the Congregational
missionaries and . others, i t

Your Federal
Income Tax
DEDUCTION FOR BAD DEBTS
Bad debts constitute a consid
erable item' in the returns of
many taxpayers and may be
treated In one of two ways
either by deduction from gross
income in respect to debts ascer
tained t6 be worthless either in
whole or in part and charged off,
or by deduction of a reasonable
addition to a reserve for bad
debts. Taxpayers were given an
option for 1921 to select either
of the two methods. The meth
od used in the return for 1921
must be used in returns for sub
sequent years unless permission
is granted by the commissioner
of internal revenue to change to
the other- method. Application
to change must be made at least
SO days prior to the close pt the
taxable year tor which the
change Is to be effective. How
ever, a taxpayer filling a first
return for 1940 may select either
of the two jpaethods, subject to
the approval of the commission
er upon examination of the re
turn. Permission to adopt the re
serve method is limited to tax
payers having a large number of
accounts where credit is extend
ed over a considerable period of
time. It is not granted for the
purpose of handling one specific
debt, ':v ;. . ,.'-.-v
What constitutes a "reasonable
addition" to a reserve for bad
debts must be determined in the
light of the facts, and will vary
as between classes of business
and with conditions of business
prosperity. It will depend pri
marily upon the total amount of
debts outstanding as of the close
of the taxable year, those arising
currently as well as those arising
in prior -taxable years, and the
total amount of the existing re
serve. In case subsequent reali-

As Siegfried Kloffer sat in his
first-class compartment on the
train from Straslund to Berlin
he wondered again if von Wal
lenfels had any ulterior motive
in his remarks to him. The im
mediate' satisfaction he had felt
when he had pretended to de
clare himself to the General as
no admirer of the Nazi system
was beginning to fade. He strove
to' dismiss the uneasy subject
from mind and, reaching into
his suitcase, took out a copy
