THE STATESJIAN PUBLISHINO CO.
' j CHARLES A. 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 .

The British may not choose to tackle foolishly
the changed Insurmountable odds against them in
Greece, but they will certainly put up a scrap for
their air base in Crete. 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. ' ' - '. . . - ;

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. -

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.

is technically correct. Yet,
since governments derive their
Just powers, from the consent of

by any nation. In Texas such
local government became a na

they held aloof from that com
pact until after the Indian scare.
Then by uniting with the Pro
testants there again became a
full-community government.
"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

In general, taxes are deduc

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

th value of the property and
thus constitute cost of a perma

is not deductible. Income tax,
however, paid to the state by an
individual, on his income is an
allowable 'deduction in his fed

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

provided they are not added to
