.Washington's Birthday j
Parson Weems, that glorious liar who wrote
a biography of George Washington, began the '
volume with the doubtless apocryphal story of
the visit of some Americans to Napoleon, then
at. Toulon. ; Napoleon, according to the parson's
narrative, inquired after the health of George
Washington. When told that Washington was
well on their last information, Napoleon said:
t "Ah, gentlemen! Washington can never be
otherwise than well. . . The measure of his fame
is full. . . Posterity will talk of him with rever
ence when my name shall be lest in the vortex
of revolutions. J
' The story is some of Parson Weems' fiction,
of which the cherry tree story, was his crowning
glory. Napoleon's vanity would never let him,
concede first place to anyone else. But certain
it is that Washington's name shines in history
with greater luster, and his memory is held in
greater love and respect than Napoleon's.
-c x- Bonapart "covered Europe with blood and
tears," while Washington established on secure
foundations a nation whose conception of free
- government ias been the 'pride of humanity
everywhere. . '
Tomorrow this nation . now grown to 48
states with a population of over 139,000,000
people will celebrate the 111th anniversary of
the birth of Washington. Busy as we are fight
ing wars in lands which Washington never
heard of, it is nonetheless fitting to pause to
honor his memory. Washington was first l a
soldier. He would know how to fight the Japs
because he fought the Indians, whose style was
similar. ! He would know how to fight the Ger-
i they were called). " Above all, he would know
the necessity of proper support to the fighting
force from congress and from the people.
- Washington's Farewell Address is often
cited ta justify a national policy of isolation. In
that address he said: "Tis our true policy to
steer clear of permanent alliances with any por
tion of the foreign world." Here are quotations
from his Address preceding that statement:
; "Observe good faith and justice toward all na
tions. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
"In the execution of such a plan nothing is
' more essential than that antipathies against par
ticular nations and passionate attachments for
others should be excluded. . ."
"The treat rule of conduct for us in regard
to foreign nations is to have with them as little
! political connection as possible." .
; , "Europe has a set of primary interests which .
to us have none, or a very remote, relation. Hence
s she must be engaged in frequent controversies,
i - the causes of which are foreign to our concerns
i . . rQur detached and distant si tuatiion. invites -
and enables us to pursue a different course."
' In studying the application of Washington's
; precepts to the United States of today we ought
i; to understand the background of his Address.
Great Britain and France were then locked in
the Napoleonic wars. Despite pressure to assist
France because of the treaty of 1777, Washing
ton issued a proclamation of neutrality. What
this weak, infant nation needed was peace to
permit its development, and time proved ; the
wisdom of Washington's policy.
His counsel against "antipathies" to one na-.
t tion probably referred to Great Britain which
: still was hated; and his advice against form-
ing "passionate attachments", doubtless was
meant to refer to France, whose friends in this
country had caused him a great deal of trouble.
V ' But look at what has happened. In a little
I' over a year Washington was called from his re
. tirement to head the army in the aborted war
with France. In 1812 We got mixed up in the
European wars, fighting the British again. I We
, kept our fights to this hemisphere until 1898
when we tore from Spain the remnants of her
' empire. We became involved in the first World
war in 1917; and now are engaged in the second
.World war. We have avoided permanent alli-
ances with foreign nations, but the logic is be
f ing forced home now that if we have to help put
j - out the fires we should have something to say
j about preventing them.
; i The best heritage from Washington is not
. i his dictum regarding foreign relations, but his
constant advocacy of military preparedness. We
have his legacy all mixed up. We ignore his
counsel oh maintaining well trained and equip
'ped fighting forces, and though breathing lip
service to his counsel to keep out of Europe's
business, we become involved when we are ill
i prepared When this war is over we will have
j.to cooperate with other nations in some fashion,
; , but assuredly we must maintain a military es
tablishment adequate to back up our national,;
and international, policies. 1 : - ; f

Postscript lr
From Bennett Cerfs column sin the Satur
; day Review of Literature we find this given as
' the correct quotation of the last words of Alex
f ander Woollcott "spoken into the microphone
just before he collapsed: 'The people of , Ger
. many are just as responsible for. Hitler as the
people of Chicago are for the Chicago Tribune."
No other publications have included the refer-
ence to the Tribune, so far as our observation
went, J. . w'- x ; ; ' i : ; ; -T
1 ? Cerf pertinently inquires: "Why did so many
newspaper obituaries omit this fact?" Could it
have been because Col. Robert McCormick is
director of-the Associated Press?
Dr. E. Stanley Jones, who speaks at the Sa
lem high school auditorium this afternoon, is
, accounted one of the great leaders of the Chris-
tian church of today. ' As missionary to India, as
author and as preacher he has impressed his
, name on the peoples of both hemispheres. His
j consecration and sincerity are a living ; testi
monial to the vitality of the Christian teaching.
; Episcopal Bishops Manning and Parsons are
. arguing over a proposed union of Episcopal and
' -Presbyterian churches. One of 'the hurdles to
... union, is .-that the Episcopalians pray, "forgive us
our trespasses" and the. Presbyterians "forgive
us our debts-" ' .,,:-v:.-.;:. i-". .'
"Wo Favor Sways Us; No Fear Shall Awe"
From first Statesman, March 23, 1851
The Alcan Highway ;
Fire at Dawson Creek, BC, again brbings
Into the news the Alcan highway, which takes
off from Dawson Creek, the end of the railroad
in northern British Columbia, and runs north
westerly to Fairbanks, Alaska. ,We haven't
heard much about this road since it was com-;
pleted and opened to travel last November. Its
use is no doubt a military secret. " I :
Construction of the 1671 mile highway in
the summer and fall of 1942 rates as one of the
great achievements of our time. Ordinarily one
would expect it to take years, and it did take
years plus a war to get it even started. Under
the threat to Alaska from . Japan . the United
States threw .ten thousand soldiers and . six
thousand civilian workers into the field. Most
of Jthem jumped off at Dawson Creek. Others
went in through the Yukon or from the Alaska
terminus. Fighting mosquitoes, muskeg, for
ests, rivers, swamps, mountains, they surveyed
a route, graded and surfaced it. ' '.
The route of the Alcan highway takes off
from the headwaters of the Peace river, cuts
across the top of the McKenzie watershed, and
then follows the troughs of the tributaries of
the Yukon. While the road reaches an altitude
of 4212 feet at its highest point, its route is not
so heavy with mountain 'grades as might be ex
pected. There was more difficulty with mus
keg, the bogs of the northland than with rock.
The speed gained was due to the use of pow
er machinery. Big tractors," bulldozers, , earth ;
movers were assembled from all over the coun-:
try. Oregon sent its share, as well as furnishing
many men. While the tractors might sink in
the sticky tundra, others would pull them out,
and either fill the bog or bridge it with cordu
roy so travel could proceed. .' .
The road was planned as a pioneer road, a
crude road for transport while the main road
was being built. But building the pioneer road
and using it made it into a real highway, and
with the pressure for speed to make Alaska se
cure from the Japs this road was finished into
a 24-foot-wide highway and is the one now in
use." - :'
The Alcan highway ends at Fairbanks, in
interior Alaska, though it has connections to
Valdez on the Gulf of Alaska on Cook Inlet.
Now that the road is built, is it being used
for military transport? We do not know. Win
ter may have closed it. But a swivelchair view ,
is that so long as boats can operate out of Seat
tie and Prince Rupert the major portion of cargo
will move by water to Alaska. You are a long,
long ways from Japan when you are in Fair
banks. While that is an important point from
a defense standpoint, supply bases for offense
against Japan would need to be located on the
seacoast and out along the Alaska peninsula.
Even if not freely used now, when the war
is over the Alcan highway ought to be valuable,
opening up avast new country, inviting settlers
as well as tourists. And we are going to have
to strengthen our northern defenses against
possible enemies coming over the top of the
world. So the road has a potential as well as
present value.
The Bend Bulletin looking over the late
WPB shakeup, says "Obviously WPB is not hit
ting on all cylinders." "Knocking" would be
correct.
Editorial Comment
From Other Papers : -
JEEPERS!
.: Over in England there is talk of detailing a fleet
of jeeps, with American -soldiers at the wheel, to
. help with the spring plowing. Not a bad idea, from
any angle. Farmers over here have been itching to
get their hands on a jeep to plow their gardens,
bring in the cows from the back pasture, mow the
front lawns and tote the eggs and milk to town. A
jeep would be a handy gadget on the farm.
And the. American boys over there, many of
them midwesterners, will no doubt compete for the
plowman's job, if only to smell again the tang of
fresh-turned fields, hear the spring birds clamoring
for upturned worms, know the satisfaction of a
clean, straight furrow. Farm boys make good sol
diers; but they also make good farmers, for they
have spring rain in their blood. Hie notion that
everybody raised in the country grows up with a
deep-seated yearning to escape is not quite true. If
it was, we'd have been importing all our food sev
eral generations ago.'
If they put those midwestern boys in jeeps to do
the English farming, however, they'd better watch
out. ; These lads have been used to plowing in a
country where an eighty-acre farm is just a
"patch", where a furrow. less than half a mile long
is nothing more than a practice run. Some of them
have been heard to say that it's hardly worth a
man's time to get out the tractor to plow a twenty
acre field; if s less bother just to spade it up by
hand some slack morning. Turn a lad of that per
suasion loose in an English field and something has
to give., It might be a stone wall or a fine old
hedgerow; it might be tradition. New York Times."
; OUR PACIFIC j " : ' I -
There may be snap judgment in some of the de
tails offered by Chairman Warren G. Magnuson, .
but his house naval affairs subcommittee is on the
right track about the Pacific islands. The commit
; tee, he says, is mapping a program to make sure we
have all the island bases we need to make the Pa
cific "Mare Nostrum" in an American sense. ?
.Less than one year after December 7, 1941,
showed the American people that we must control
the Pacific and that the islands, at least the right
ones, are vital, Chairman Magnuson says we are
going to have the islands we . need. "Some weTl
buy," he said, "some well lease, some well get by
Joint use agreement with allies, some well claim
and some well take by 'force."r ::: .a 7 y. t is
- In this last category is the swarm of islands now
; held by Japan, secured by her forjhe express pro
pose of using them to put us down." We looked on
blandly unconcerned while she picked them up. It
is going to be some trouble to take them from her.
When it is done, none of . them must go back to
Japan unless we utterly forget the lesson we have
learned in the last year. -
The Pacific must be "Mare Nostrum. i To that
we do not believe Australia or New Zealand or the
Dutch or the French will have the slightest

BASIS OF GAIN OR LOSS
, (PART X)
The basic for determining gain
or loss, for federal income tax
purposes, where the property ex
changed had been acquired by
the taxpayer in .payment for
services rendered, is the fair
market value of the property at
the date of receipt This "basis
is then adjusted for capital items,
such as depreciation and better
ments in the case of real estate.
In the., case of property ac
quired by gift, distinction if
made between property so ac
quired" before January 1, 1921,
and after December 31, 1920.'
For property acquired by gift or
transfer in trust (except by de
vise or bequest) before January
1, 1921, the basis for determin
ing either gain or loss is the fair
market value at the time of the
gift or transfer in trust
For property acquired by gift

Into the picture, yet Hmm. I
. wonder now. Will my next ap
pointment be a help?"
"Your next appointment?" t
asked, taken back. "I thought"
fYou thought I was all
through for the day?" He sighed
ponderously. . "I : sure anl'L I'm
apt to'still ask people questions
at midnight. But ? don't worry.
IU be making life hard for Rob
erts and a couple others over to
the Burton house, or head
quarters. YouH be rid of me
soon as I'm through with Miss
Burton, from upstairs."'
"With Gala Burton?" I had a
disturbing vision of my handbag
and a tiny gilt bobbypln in it.
"What can she know about the
murder?"
'"She, lives here, don't she?
May seen something from a '
window. Besides, the - murder
was committed - in what may
soon be her house," he pointed
out, entirely too jovially and in
nocently, to be reassuring.
. "That's right. She may have
seen something from a window,"
I repeated dazedly. "But I don't
think so. She was ill yesterday.
I hope she's better. ' I want to
ask her for dinner," I added ir
relevantly. -
- "So I heard. Not that you want
her for dinner. That she was
111." the inspector told me.
That's why I made the appoint
ment so late. Her Aggy said she
took some stuff to make , her
sleep. Don't hold with sleeping
draughts, but then in her case.
You know about her leg?"
I nodded. "Yes. It's terrible.
She's so beautiful too," and list
ened with convincing attention,
I hope to the inspector's flat
tering comment on Gala's looks
and 'charm and ill fortune. ,
My mind was traveling in an
other direction. Gala had taken
sleeping tablets, when she'd been
out driving in the night? Or
had she taken: them after -her
return? .
My conjectures were cut short
by the arrival ' of their object. '
Sergeant Flynn poked In his
head and announced: "Miss Bur
. ton to see you, inspector." .

basis Is to be used depends upon
whether a probable gain or a loss
is involved. In determining a
gain the basis is the same as it
would be . in the hnds of the
donor or the last preceding own
er by .whom it was not acquired
by gift Thus, if a taxpayer re
ceived a gift of property from
. his father in 1940, the basis
would be. the cost (or other
basis) of the property to his
father (assuming his father had
. bought it and had not himself
received it as a gift), adjusted
by capital items, such as de
preciation and betterments ap
plicable.! If, however, his father
had received It also as a gift
' then the basis would be the
, cost (or other basis) to the last
person by whom it was . not
acquired by gift, adjusted as de
scribed. (The "or other basis'
mentioned In parentheses would
v apply to property -acquired by
the father by purchase prior to
March 1, 1913, or by devise or;
bequest or other means.)
In determining a loss on prop
. erty acquired by gift after De
cember , 31, 1920, the basis is
either, the same as it would be
In the hands of the donor or the
last preceding owner by whom it
was not acquired by gift or the
fair market value of the proper-'
ty at the time of the gift which
ever is lower.
In the case of property acquir
ed by bequest devise, or inheri
tance, the basis is the fair market
value of the property at the time
of such acquisition. The time of
acquisition is the date of death of
the decedent even though legal
title may not pass to the legatee
until a later date. No distinc
tion applies between property
s so acquired before January 1,
192 1N and after December SI,
1920 . , ; ?
For property acquired after
-December 31, 1920, by any trans
fer in trust except as a gift or
by bequest or devise, the rule
is that the basis for determin
. ing gain or .loss is the same as.it
would be in , the hands of the
i. grantor,' increased in the amount
of gain or decreased in ' the
amount of loss recognized to the
grantor upon such transfer under
the law applicable to the year in
which the transfer,, was made.
The expression "increased," etc,
applies to a transfer of property
in trust for a valuable consid-
eration. V.v- ;
In determining the basis in the
case of securities of a corpora
tion which have been acquired at
various times and In various
amounts, and which have been
oid in various amounts and at ;
various times, the general rule
Is that the securities sold (in the
absence of. identification of the
rticriar securities sold) shall
be . charged against, the earliest
purchases of such securities.
To determine the basis of com
mon stock received as a bonus
; with a purchase of preferred
, stock or bonds, the total pur
chase "price shall be , fairly ap
' portioned between the common
stock and , the rwirities pur
chased. ,"
