kiVr Again"
AT.t.vsodcr Richard C. Patterson reports that Marshall Tito
art-rt rr.e personally and officially that there would not
be inv : petition" of the event that resulted in the loss of
f- Ar.truan soldiers When the cortege conducted by Yugo
slav sili:.rs turned the bodies of the airmen over to American
offuei.v i. the border one of the Yugo-Slav officers assured
th- Arr.diciii commander that such an incident would never
haf- n ifiin.
Tr.e ' never again" is inexcusably belated. The "event" and
ir. oer: " should never have occurred. It has been computed
the Amtrxan plane shot down was distant' from the border
on'v 40 seconds flying time, and there is suspicion that the
attack ir. tighter planes were poised at high altitude at the
time, ii Cicating premeditation. Even if all the amenities are
now oosv-d (after a stern demand by the United States
gov-ri.fTi- t ) that will not retore the lives of the fallen men.
The "ren again" must sound very hollow to their surviving
relatix t
Nor will the assurance, unaccompanied as it is by any
official apology or expression of regret, heal the deep wound
in the hearts of Americans. It has the added soreness of in
'grat.it nie. Having furnished Yugo-Slavs with equipment and
au:pli or!h many millions of dollars and fought with and
fo: them to rescue their country from the nazis, and having
cor T it . led large quantities of food and goods for the rehabilita
tion of the country Americans are made bitter by this showing
of ::.gi it .1 woe.
W io rot want the bad affair of Bled to prove history's
repetition of the incident of Serajevo in 1914.

a ot-n may come to a head before election, but after that
wn.on r jrotiators may hold out for sizable increases in pay
ch
It s--r.y improbable, however, that the country will have
anv sum iih of strike as plagued it last year. Workers haven't
ca.tht up f.r.artcially with the losses they incurred by long
p-?: ds of idleness, and those who sat out strikes like the
Wt--.tir.jjouj.e strike are in no mood to go through another such
eKpet iere The safer guess, and that is all any prediction is
no , i? that wage increases will be much less generous than
the 18c an hour forced through by the administration, that
ie':mentf will be reached without resort to long strikes or
lockout. For one thing, labor stands to lose in the November
el :t:ors. and will not have the political strength in Washing
tor it ha riad for 13 years. Then the nervousness in Wall street
may fte cme chilU through the country, warning that it is
tirr.e to get realistic about both wages and prices.
Nw Tax Style
Here is a new tax wrinkle. It doesn't fit in Oregon, but it
would n nearly haTf the states.
San Frr cisoo Lb urging that the California sales tax be
rotd to four cents on the dollar of retail sales, with one
pr cent cut back to cities and counties for local use. At present
the Ganfainia sales tmx is two and one-half per cent, but goes
back to three per cent next year. As in this state, its cities are
desperate for more money and think this is one way to get it.
Some c.ties have a local sales tax. New York City had
one for awr.:le. Atlantic City was collecting a tax on all retail
sale within its area until it was stopped by a court decision.
A another new source of revenue for cities is being tapped
by a few. Philadelphia being one, and that is a city income tax.
It is lev-d r.ot on the people who reside in the city limits but
on all ho earn money there. The tax is withheld by employers,
so there is r.o running out with wages and then failing to remit.
We-o r.ot mention these to endorse either one, but to show
th resource fulness of cities hard pressed for funds to meet

The End at Nuernberg
The famous trial of nazis and German warriors charged
with wjir crimes will come to an end in Nuernberg within a
few day On trial for the past nine months have been 22 high
ran kins' nzi5. seven razi organizations and 129 military leaders.
The iat scene in the drama, after the attorneys have made
their pleas will be final statements by each of the defendants,
limited to a few minute each. After that the judges will review
th mountain of recorded testimony and hand down decisions in
earh cae.
Th-otject ban hen not only to bring evil men to book,
b-jt tc -pile up evidence for history of the evil intent and the
wicked methods of Hitler and his party. That record is intended
to stad to refute anv later attempts of a revived Germany
to deieeni nazi principles and practices and leaders.

knowledge.
best evidence from knowing and
learned men has added up like
wis:
Stalin follows the Marxian
doctrine holding religion to be
the opiate of the people; this is
necessary to a dictatorship
preacmng stateism as a religion:
indeed atheism is indispensible
for dictatorships because the su
premacy of the state cannot be
established until the belief in
supreme being above the state is
eradicated or made subject to
state controls; that Stalin has
speciously and temporarily turn
ed the Greek orthodox churches
off and on in the recent years
for the sake of publicity in the
outside world, as communism
permits; but that he has made
his churches into propaganda
agencies for Russia by (1) tax
ing the income of the churches.
running the amount up to 90 per
cent of the contributions at will
and without knowledge of the
parishioners, (2) controlling the
salary of the clergy and their
income by controlled state propa
ganda discouraging attendance or
contributions, (3) by seizing and
controlling the property of the
churches in the name of the state
nd (4) by all these means of
taxation, ownership and state
propaganda, intimld ating the
churches and requiring (hem to
preach what line of propaganda
he needs to feed the people at
any given moment.
As all these and similar gov
ernmental controls can be hidden
completely from the outside
world as well as the Russian
church people by a complete cen
sorship, and as this Atlanta
preacher claims to have fresh
evidence upon the subject he
should be heard to the fullest and
asked what evidence he has upon
these matters. He should be ask
ed such questions as: "Are
churches taxed secretly in Rus
sia? To what rate has this taxa
tion run in recent years? Is there
a different tax for different
churches?" and so on. There
should be no misinformation on
this subject. Christian people are
entitled to know whether one of
their number has been duped on
a sightseeing tour (incidentally
how did he get into Russia in the.
first place, would be my first
question, as most people cannot
get in), or whether the accepted
facts of the matter are true.
Negra Minister Talks
The second firecracker, made
of the same powder, was plainly
wet. An Afro-American Methodist
Episcopal preacher was quoted
by the AP as telling the national
Elks convention that: "American
Negroes would be better off un
der a communistic society than
under American democracy."
Now I suppose all religions have
their unusual people, but this one
can be disproved at a glance. In
what way would the American
Negro be better? The preacher
said he could vote, travel and be
educated as a free man under
communism. The opposite is true,
and no advised person will deny
it. Under communism he could
vote for only one party. Freedom
of choice would be denied him.
Under communism he could not
travel without a permit, and these
have not been freely granted in
Russia, as everyone knows. In
truth, he is not leeallr entitled
to freedom of travel under com
munism, but in America he is.
Freedom of education? Commu
nistic freedom? The two words
deny each other. In Russia edu
cation is restricted to support of
one-party stateism and freedom
is restricted to support of what
ever the government wants at a
given moment. The "Russian peo
ple do not even have the knowl
edge of the world granted by a
free presk. No investigation of
these absurd contention is need
ed. They are untrue on their
face. The truth is every minority
group in the United States, in
cluding the despised nazis and
fascists, has attained greater pro
gress for its kind, a better civili
zation and a better deal than any
nation in the history of the world
ever gave it before. With all our
defects and shortcomings in ever
plodding further and further to
ward idealism and goals, our
superior progress is nevertheless
absolutely and inc6ntrovertibly
true.
Truth Can Beat Reds
Now my theory is that truth
can dispel communism. Chris
tianity is founded on truth. The
Baptist preacher and the Afro
Methodist Episcopal clergyman
will agree on this. But Jhe theory
of communism is to divide and
conquer, just as the nazis did.
Shrewdly they have designed to
tear Christianity apart, tq get it
arguing within itself, thus to di
vide and conquer it
In our resistance to these com
munist tactics, the difference in
religious practices between Chris
tian sects is not very important,
but the maintenance of a com
mon political truth among Chris
tian sects Is essential to their
survival. Religion has nothing to
do with it, except as the broad
common spirit of Christian con
cepts of justice permeates all,
and guides our politics and our
international dealing. In this
matter there is no excuse for
errors contrary to proved facts.
