Ihm OXTXGON STATESMAN. Solera, Oroo. Friday Morning,; April 23, XSU 3PAGE TWO Lull in Balkan Hitler Strategy to Cut off British Troops in Greece "War Analyst Sees Offer to Greeks for ' Surrender on Generous Terms as Move to Prevent Another Dunkerque By KIRKE L. SIMPSON " Special to The Statesman A comparative lull in the- German attack on the last-ditch, - British and Greek defense line across Greece probably is trace ahle more to nazi high policy that to terrain difficulties or the grim resistance still being offered by British and Greek rear puards. US Treasury Presents Plan i Morgentliaii Says Tax Schedule Would Pay . Way for Defense (Continued From Page 1) the lend lease appropriations, not anuch more than $12,000,000,000 will be spent for defense purposes in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1942." The treasury estimate is," he continued, "that at the start of the new fiscal year we shall be spend ing no more than $1,000,000,000 a month on defense.' Almost two years will have passed with the world on fire. The forces of ag gression already control all the factories of continental Europe. The danger to our peace and se curity is mounting hour by hour, yet we shall find ourselyes spend ing less than 15 per cent of our national Income for the national ; safety." Describing the treasury pro gram, he said: "First of all, it presents a me thod of paying as we go for a . reasonable proportion of our ex penditures. "Secondly, it is designed so that all sections of the people shall bear their fair share of the burden. "Third, it will help to mobilize our resources for defense by re ducing the amount of money that . the public can spend for compar atively less important things. "And finally, it is designed to prevent a general, rise in prices by : keeing the total volume of mone tary purchasing power from out running production." Sullivan told the committee it :had been thought desirable that the new revenue program "rely ; heavily on the, ability to pay taxes iso that the entire (tax) system I might be brought into better bal i ance." "After these changes are su !. pe rim posed upon the present ' re venae system," he said, ,' 'roughly one-third will be de : rived from each of the three : categories one - third from ; ability to pay taxes, one-third from corporate taxes, and one : third from commodity excises. "The man who earns a net in come of $2500 outside the armed services has $2130 left after pay ment of the proposed income tax. i If he is in the armed services his income wiU be $360. The man who earns $5000 in civilian life will !have $4252 left, as contrasted to -the $360. If he earns $10,000 he will have $8042 left. "The taxes called for by these proposals are light indeed as com pared to the sacrifices which large numbers are undergoing in enter- iing military services."

Battle Seen as lesson to the Greeks tnat tneir trapped British allies, not the Greeks themselves, are his foes. He Is obviously see King, even before the last fateful scenes of a perilous British retreat from Greece are enacted, to induce a complete Greek surrender, and probably offering generous terms to Greek commanders in the field. If this conception of nut stra tegy Is sound, and the terms granted the surrendered Greek army In Epirus tend to suport it, a relaxation in the battering attack by nazi mechanized spear-heads on Greek positions west of the British front Is n derstandable. Should the Greeks there follow the example of the hopelessly trapped army in Epirus and sur render in the "field, British hopes of evacuating any substantial part of the force still in Greece would be doubly jeopardized. They are-gloomy enough in any case. No such miracle as the re treat from Dunkerque seems rea sonably possible. The British can not muster nearly as many fight ing planes above Greek embarka tion ports as they did oyer the Dunkerque beaches to ward off German bombing and machine cun attacks. At Dunkerque the' metropolitan air force, the home guard of England itself, was thrown into the battle. As the drama in Greece draws toward a close there Is a rising tide of British press criticism of the Greek campaign. As a par tial offset to this, however; the British mar derive some com fort from the very fact that the empire force sent to Greece was not larger. Unofficial estimates insist that less than 100,000 English or em pire troops were involved. If it proves that there were more than that in Greece, the ultimate losses can only be increased. London dispatches indicate that some of the critics charge that the force sent to Greece was inade quate. There is little to suggest however, that the outcome would have been much different if sev eral times as many British troops had been sent there. Nevertheless, demands for somebody's head are quite prob able in England and Australia. It does not appear likely that Churchill himself it endangered, although it was a similar British fiasco in Norway that paved the way for his elevation to power and sent the late Prime Minister Chamberlain into the discard. Coast Streams Best Angling PORTLAND, April 2 4-;P-Although the Deschutes river yield ed limit catches in the past week, the best Oregon trout angling will be found in coastal streams this weekend. The state game department's weekly fishing bulletin reported the McKenzie river was poor be cause of cold weather although it was clear and flowing normally. The bulletin, by counties, in cluded: Tillamook Angling good but best catches made in tidewater. Trout are taking flies. Lincoln Sea-run trout trolling in rivers excellent. Lane Fishing fair in lakes and streams of western Lane. Coos Angling fair in northern portion of county, good in south ern. Congressmen Assured Cascade Camp Safe WASHINGTON, April 24-)-The Civilian Conservation Corps notified Representatives Mott and Angell, Oregon republicans, that CCC camp F-7 near Cascade Locks would be continued under the new program.

Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany is pictured with his military leaders outside his privato railroad car. Left to right are Admiral Erich Raeder. chief of the naval forces; Field Marshal Hermann Goe- linox and Hull Hit at Germans Key Cabinet Officers Want Stronger Stand on Aid to British - (Continued From Page 1) before the American Society of International Law in Washington. Knox addressed the bureau of advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers association in New York. The two speeches, one imme diately following the other and both advocating stronger meas ures to aid Britain, foreshadowed early administration moves in this direction. What these steps would be were only hinted at but the emphasis put on sea power in the speeches of these two leading administra tion spokesmen pointed striking ly at some use of the navy. Whether this meant the much- talked -of naval convoys for Brit ish merchant ships: the naval patrol" 1000 miles out in the Atlantic indicated by Mayor F. xi. iauuaraia oi new York in a speech in Canada Wednesday; or something more far - reaching than either of these was a sub ject of wide speculation in the capital Thursday night In seme a Barters, it was thought that Knox might be advocating a re - assertion of American rights to "freedom of the seas" the right of Ameri can ships to take supplies any where and protect them with whatever force was necessary. This would involve a change in the neutrality act which prohibits American ships from taking any goods to a nation -proclaimed by the president to be at war. The policy laid down in the neutrality act is in contrast with that followed by President Wood row Wilson in the World war when he insisted upon the right of American vessels to trade with nations at war and finally, just before the United States entered the war, put armed crews aboard the ships to guard them from German U-boats. One pvrpose of the two speeches seemed clear to aroose the American people to the gravity of the International. situaUea as seen by the admin istration. President Reeeevelt said last week the people were not fully aware of the dangers to this country. The reaction of the country and congress to the strong pronounce ments of the secretaries of state and the navy was counted an im portant factor in determining the next administration moves. .
