SPRAGUE, President j Msmber of Te Associated Press The Associated Press la exclusively entitled to the um for publication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this newspaper. Perhaps the most curious idea on the Balkan situation yet seen appeared Wednesday in the Oregon Journal. ' The editorial writers on that i. distinguished newspaper suggested that Yugo slavia and Bulgaria, particularly, are being stupid as well as supine in not standing up to the "bully" Germany. They have bought, so the argument is, only a brief respite from blood and sorrow by offering Germany a fake neutrality through which she is helped and only the Brit ish hindered. They should realize that "a bully is stopped only by standing up to him." Well, what is a bully? Usually he's the biggest boy in the grade, the class, or the school, who picks on people smaller than him jelf, but still not too small to afford him pleas ure in his bullying. He's a person, usually, who is the same age and has about the same antecedents as his victims, but who merely happens to be bigger and more powerful in a strictly quantitative sense than they are. He's not so big, however, that he can't sometimes be challenged by a younger, smaller, but more , rigorous person, and roundly whipped, where upon he does become merely a coward instead of a bully. And he's definitely outclassed when ; he meets somebody his own size who's older and nore experienced. Now apply those conclusions to the Balkans. Bulgaria and Yugoslavia together have popu lations of some 23 millions. Add Greece and Rumania and they'd have some 42 millions of the poorest, most woebegone people in Europe, whose idea of democracy, oreven responsible "government under a dictator, is about as high ly advanced as in a Prussian barrack-room, and whose willingness and ability to work effec tively together is equaly rudimentary. The Greeks, who are no democrats, are perhaps the exception to prove the rule. Thus the greatest possible strength of the Balkan states Turkey will not fight in Europe unless attacked would be opposed to a single great nation of 80 millions, with the material resources of 100 millions more of the highest trained, richest people on the continent of Europe. When you consider that important fact, you begin to realize that the Balkan states, singly or together, hardly attain even the dig nity of "victim" of the German machine. They are more like small stones tossed out of the way of a tremendously powerful runner, and no talk about calling bullies' bluffs will alter the situa- -tion. At the same time, one shouldn't overrate the strength of the Germans. .They seem to walk y through the Balkans without hindrance, but. one is inclined to think, so could the British if they were in the place now occupied by the Germans and had a similar goal in view. The whole thing is simply that the Balkan states - aren't big enough or resolute enough to measure themselves with Germany, either for weakness or for strength. Nor do moral arguments alter 1 the situation. . Inheritance That the custom of handing down substantial wealth from father to son is an unmitigated evil for all concerned, is a thesis youll find argued in the most surprising places. Rock . ribbed conservatives on such questions as econ omics and free enterprise and social security ( will insist that inheritance is unjust to the sons ' and daughters of the poor and unfortunate for the sons and daughters of the rich, and that inheritance taxes ought to be confiscatory or that in some other manner the evil ought to be abated. Evidence which might carry weight, es , pecially in conservative circles, in support of this theory may be gleaned from a recent article . on !Muddled Millions" in the Saturday Evening Post, wherein b traced the use to which con , siderable sums. of inherited wealth have, been devoted; the furtherance, not of intelligent lib eralism, but. of the Stalinist brand of com munism! Surnames that were synonymous, in the last generation, with Wall street and high finance and rugged individualism, dot this narrative of money poured into the coffers of the communist and fellow-traveling institutions, particularly . the party-line press: I Marshall.; Galland. Heller. Lament, .Filene, " Whitney. Jaffe, Vanderbilt. Field. Childs, Swift, Morris, Fireman,. Villard. .. Brown, Straight. Each name represents millions amassed in the good old American way which 'liberals deplore , and radicals, denounce. . The writer concludes that money from, these .sources sunk in the deficits of communist propaganda publications alone adds up to more than three million dol- - lars, but his figures seem conservative when ', seven-eights of that amount may be traced to the Whitney fortune alone. . 1 ; And the greater pity of it is not that this wealth was poured into a movement calcu lated to destroy the capitalistic system which created it, but rather that muddled crackpot .thinking permitted it to fall into hands that would use it to fatten a ruthless, lawless, mur derous totalitarian monster bent upon enslaving " humanity in a manner which capitalism at its worst Tbould not have conceived. L Whatever; the other virtues or faults of the proposal to do away with large inheritances, this is one brand of folly it would eliminate, j . Quandary - . ; f .'. Miltiades when he fought the Persians, was not acquainted with the Germans, nor. were, the Germans acquainted with Miltiades, or even with: the world in which Miltiades ' and his Athenian militiamen dwelt. They were off in their bogs and" forest, leaving their new orders alohe for some 2300 years. " ; ! Co far as "Miltiades and-the Greeks were con earned,' the saving of their city, their peninsula, and their freedom to think and believe was merely a matter of whipping the Persian hosts dratrn up on the shore of the Bay of Marathon 23 rr '1:3 from their city. .

There the odds will be nearer even. This German movement is apparently headed . toward Salonika which will provide excellent bases for small submarines. These could be shipped in and assembled for operations against British con , Toys and supplies in the Mediterranean. If the nazis arc wholly successful in fulfilling their plans, ' they will also obtain air bases on the shores of . the Aegean rom which to reach out through the skies for control of the eastern half of Mare Nostrum. But Suez apparently is relatively safe for the immediate future. Long range German bombing attacks can be organized against It from the new bases, but the distance is too great for a con certed damaging effort British have been secretly slipping Australian . troops into Singapore for six months, but when . another - detachment arrived this week they heralded the news around the world with official bulletins. This strange disclosure of what hitherto has been a military secret, was designed to let the -Japanese people know what their Tokyo govern ment knew but has failed to tell them. ' This and other, a nglo-American strategy in the ' Far East seems to be bringing results. Singapore, ' already impregnable from the sea. has now been made equally formidable on land. If the Japs r choose to move down the Malay peninsula, they . will be met by the Australians more than half way. Never in history has Japan fought a foe as tough : and well-equipped as these Australians. . ; You can already see signs that an appreciation ' of danger in further aggression has dawned not only upon the statesmen but upon ; the people of Japan. Confusion as to what the next move will be is evident among them. ' ' - '. . . - ; - It may be against the Dutch or against the : ; Burma road (a move which would also violate Brit-; , ish territory) but you may rest reasonably assured it will be in some other direction than the Aus- tralians. ' victorious or to become, what would be left, Persian slaves in the most literal sense. Uiltiades led out his 10,000 militiamen, thought up some clever tactics, and sent the Persians running for their boats. Nor was there, when the victory was duly recorded In the Athenian city records, any question as to who would enjoy its fruits in continued freedom from aggression. The Athenians were victorl ous in battle, and that was all there was to it. Not so the present Greek. They have chased the 20th century barbarians from Italy' out of their own country, and off the high passes of Epirus. They have pushed them steadily nearer the sea across which they, came, and of late they have shown signs of preparing to crush them finally and for alL But the victory is not theirs, even though they have won it. The Germans have shouted across the roof of the Balkans from Bulgaria, and com manded peace between the Greeks and the Ital ians. Greece's alternative is to give in to Germany and allow a peace which will probably cost her all the gains of her triumphant war, or to send back defiance, invite in the British, and prepare to meet the German -battalions as well as the Italian. In either case, as her statesmen have plaintively pointed out, Greece will become a battlefield over which the right of the new or der to triumph will be fought. For Greece the victorious tradition of Milti- ades is not enough: she" has need now of the tragic prophecy of ironic fate in the dramas of great son, Sophocles. Max Schmeling is making a comeback as a fighter. News photo show him in the role of nazi parachutist. Americans won't thrill at any victories In which he may participate. Yet, re membering him as an old friend, they will take comfort in the thought that on his job even though he goes down and stays down for the count, he won't necessarily lose. - Analysis of the '40 census shows more Ameri cans than ever are living beyond the age of 65.

Inc.. re ' production In whole or in part stricUy prohibited.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 Crumbling of the Balkans at the first nazi diplomatic push was a serious disappointment to authorities here and in London. Nothing is . to be gained by denying that. Leaders of the democracies had been confident that Turkey would fight. The simple truth, as pieced together from frag mentary information. Is that Turkey withdrew from the path of the nazis upon the ur-v gent insistence of Russia Good information has seeped out of Moscow that Stalin believes the Germans will win the war. He has acted like a man with a secret fear of Hitler from the start. With Stalin quavering in the face of nazi push, the Turks found the better part of valor lay in acceptance of a dubious nazi guarantee of their territorial integrity. Th British will have to get out of Greece If the nazis consummate their diplomatic conquest. No one here knows for sure how many air squadrons or troops the British had behind the Greek lines. Nothing has been 'said about them in dispatches. But the force was enough to make the Greek of fensive successful against the Italians. With long lines of sea communications behind them, it is doubtful that they would choose to stand up against the more formidable German foe. ' Then also with Bulgaria offering to become a doorman for the nazis, and the Turks promising to stand by, no one here can see a chance that the Greeks would be able to offer successful resist ance to the nazis. The cave-in seems truly to portend what the nazi press has been suggesting an ultimate clean German sweep down to the Aegean. iV 'AS. 0 TT. . she safety of His Country Was Ills first Concern! Bits 1?o it Bireafcffasft By R. J. HENDRICKS Historian Barry sends 2-21-41 congratulations, gives a brief outline of history of provisional government: S Under date of Portland, Ore gon, Feb. 12, 1941, J. Neilson Barry, historian, sends the words that will follow in this and the next two issues: "I congratulate you upon your red-blooded cour age in daring to print the truth of the Champoeg humbug, which has duped so many good, honest people who were not suspecting hokum "You are absolutely correct that the first civil government in Oregon was established by th united and entire Willamette settlement February 18, 1841. The demonstration of that is complete, and may be verified easily. S "technically only Congress can establish American govern ment The term quasi-govern-ment is technically correct. Yet, since governments derive their Just powers, from the consent of the governed, where an entire community unites in consent to local government, such govern ment actually is real govern ment, although nor authorized by any nation. In Texas such local government became a na tional government by making Texas a separate nation. "Yet there is a distinction be tween a local' government of the entire community, which seems to be real government, and a compact or agreement among only some members of a com munity. U "By the general election May 14, 1844, the entire community became united in one local gov ernment which was recognized by all classes. While there was continuity in successive forms, yet the organization from July 5. 1843, to May 14, 1844, was not full-community government, but rather a compact among English speaking settlers. About one third of the settlers were Cath olic French-speaking. As a class Today's Garden By ULLHE L. MADSEN P.W.r Asks what new book on flower arangement was pub lished in 1940.

"Another important matter is that the Organic Act of 1845 es tablished the first American type government. It was th fruit of previous stages of ad vancement. There is analogy with the first stage in national govern ment, the Continental Congress, which was really a compact until the Declaration of Independence. The second state under the Articles of Confedera tion was national government, yet imperfect and unsatisfactory. The third stage was by the Con stitution, which provided a 'more perfect Union." W m S "Similarly in Oregon we have the first stage, February 18, 1841, to July 5, 1843. Then th second stage July 5, 1843, at first only a compact among Eng lish speaking settlers. May 14, 1844, It became a government of the entire population, yet was imperfect, un-American, and un satisfactory. The Organic Act of 1845 created 'a more perfect union,' and one of the best gov ernments in th history of the world. ' "You are likewise absolutely correct in saying that Champoeg, May 2, 1843, had 'some impor tance,' as it most certainly did have. m "Yet there must be a clear dis tinction between the actual meeting at Champoeg, May 2, 1843, which really did occur on one hand, and the fictitious Champoeg meeting of the hoax, which never occurred. The hoax combined some features of the real meeting, yet was mostly of the subsequent Champoeg meet ing of March 4, 1844. That hokum-meeting never occurred. "The humbug Champoeg meet ing hatched from the hoax is pure humbug, similar to the cow jumping over the moon. S "The first essential is to com pile the nine trustworthy rec ords of the real Champoeg meet ing; and then fit that meeting into its proper place in the series of meetings. It was the eleventh of fourteen meetings; being the seventh of the ten meetings of the second series of meetings which culminated in the Com pact of July 5, 1843, among English-speaking settlers. . - "Since " one aspect which is greatly emphasized is that there was a vote of agreement to or ganize, it is well to remember ' that this was the SIXTH time that there had been agreement to organize. The seventh agree ment of July 5, 1843, is of tre-' xnendous, importance; although only by part of the community the English-speaking . settlers; yet not the French-speaking. pact on May 14, 1844, that, like wise is a very important date," leading up to the American type 'government by the organic act of 184. .' -. ... T i' r . - - ' r(l)iFebruary 17, 1841, some of he settlers agreed to organ- tze. tz; Jfeoruary. 10, 101, ine .entire ; community did organize. -Yet Admiral Wilkes so opposed " unauthorized government where .British subjects formed the ma jority of. the settlers, that he interrupted further development. "Increase of - the number - of settlers necessitated resumption, yet it began, by the (3) agree ment at Oregon City in the win ter of 1842-3 to organize a gov ernmtnt independent of the United States. The later gover 4. nor, George Abernethy, headed that off. 1m T V "The secret meeting, concealed from the loyal Methodists, held at Salem, in January again (4) agreed to organize, plotting sub terfuge and trickery by pretend ing, the plan was for protection against predatory animals. The committee appointed at the sec ond wolf .meeting met in open meeting at Oregon City, March 17, 1843, when they (5) agreed to organize a loyal temporary government, until Congress should establish legal American government "The seventh meeting of the second series met at Champoeg, , May 2, 1843. when (6) they v agreed to organize a 'civil com munity.' The important agree ment (7) was on July 5, 1843, when they did organize the loyal compact until American govern ment should be established. That was supremely important; al though the set-up was un American, and proved unsatis factory. V . "Owing to the hoax-meeting,, which was used for inventing the Champoeg humbug, it is neces sary to distinguish the real Champoeg meeting, of May 2, 1843, from the silly inventions added to the hoax. The hoax did not have those elements, yet provided a hook on which they were hung." (Continued tomorrow.) Your Federal Income Tax DEDUCTION FOR TAXES In general, taxes are deduc tible only by the person upon whom they are imposed. Taxes on real estate and per sonal property paid during th year 1940 are deductible. So called taxes which are assessed against local benefits, such as streets, sidewalks, drainage, and other like improvements, are not deductible but are to be cap italized, as they tend to increase th value of the property and thus constitute cost of a perma nent improvement. The, federal Income tax may not be dededuct ed. The tax on unjust enrich ment federal tax on income is not deductible. Income tax, however, paid to the state by an individual, on his income is an allowable 'deduction in his fed eral income tax return. Customs duties paid by a per son on articles Imported for his own use are deductible. Import or tariff duties paid to customs officers; and business, license, privilege, excise, and stamp tax es paid to internal revenue col lectors are deductible as taxes,' provided they are not added to and made a part of the expenses of the business or the cost of the articles of merchandise with -respect to which they are paid, in which case they cannot be de ducted sepajfely as a tax. The federal tax of 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof paid for admission to any place is de ductible, provided an account " has been kept by the taxpayer of the amount paid. Taxes on club dues are deductible by the member paying them. An indi vidual may deduct the tax on his telephone conversations, radio ' messages, telegrams and cables, and on the rent of his safety de posit box Unemployment compensation contributions required under a state '-law; -if: officially classified as taxes, are deductible as tax es and not as business expenses.
