Newspaper Page Text.MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. 1IEDFOUD. OREGON". FRIDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1934 PAGE FIFTEEN IS MUG POT OF E WINS SECOND IN AIR DASH New Nation Formed At Close Of World War Area Equal To Oregon 13,930,000 Population. WASHINGTON. t. O (Spl.) 'Yu goslavia, whoae king wag assassinated In Marseille recently. Is southeastern Europe's catldron of races, a, mixing, but not melting, pot of many con trasting tongues, religions, customs, and traditions," says a bulletin from tht Washington, D. C, headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "Immediately following the close of the world war, the new nation was formed from Serbia, Montenegro, and several provinces of the former Aus-tro-Hungftrlan empire. Serbia, with Its capital, Boograd (Belgrade), was used as a nucleus, and to it were added Croatia -Slavonics, Slovenia, Bosnia, Dalmatla, Hercegovlna, and several other units. This loosely-knit union was named 'The Kingdom of the Serbs, Crats and Slovenes. "In 1D30 a reorganization of the kingdom took place. Its 33 provinces ware consolidated Into nine "banats," or states, and a federal district around the capital, Beodrad. The kingdom Itself took on the name 'Yugoslavia.' Second Largest Balkan State "Although Yugoslavia Is the sec ond largest of the Balkan states, with an area equal to that of the state of Oregon, much of the land is mountainous, rocky, or barren, and the bulk of the population is com posed of small peasant farmers, herd ers and foresters. "It la easier to understand the problems that have beset the new nation since its birth when It is con sidered that of its 13.930,000 popu lation about 10.7000,000 speak Serbo Croatian, 1,135,000 Slovenian, and other large blocs German, Hunga rian, Albanian, Italian and assorted Slav languages. "Like a warp through the woof of these divergent tongues run several different religions, chief of which Is the Serbian Orthodox. The total of other creeds, however Including Ro man Catholic, Greek Catholic, Mos lem, Jewish and Protestant outnum bers that of adherents to the state religion. "The kingdom lacks adequate com munications. Many of its principal highways are of Roman origin, and do not meet the needs of modern mo tor traffic. Of its 6000 miles of rail road, almost a third Is narrow gauge. The Danube and the Sava rivers, however, carry considerable commerce and along the Dalmatian coast the nation has several excellent harbors. "Yugoslavia's key Industries, based -on timber, chemicals, iron and sugar beets, are retarded by her lack of fuel. Costly Importations of coal must supplement her Inadequate out put of about 5.000,000 tons a year. A pair of determined Dutchmen, P. P. Moll (left) and K. D. Par. mentier (right), took second place in the London-to-Melbourne air race. (Associated Press Photo) "The output of the key Industries, together with live stock, cereals, bauxite and cement, form Yugosla via's exports. Her imports consist chiefly of raw materials for her tex tile and other Industries, to which purchases the United States contrib utes about 4 per-cent. "After many hours' passage across the Serbian central plain, one Is left with the Impression that it alone might suffice as the granary of Yugo slavia's 13,000,000 people. The farm ing folk of this region were among the initiators of agricultural co-operatives. The Serbs' native adaptabil ity to co-operatives may In part be due to their traditionally small (20 acre) farm holdings. Even more It may be traceable to the "zadruga," under which time-honored arrange ment married sons or sons-in-law simply 'built on' to the patriarchal dwelling, until a family of perhaps 60 might be living beneath one roof. "Beograd. or Belgrade as the capi tal and chief city Is known to the English-speaking world, occupies a strategic position at the meeting place of the Sava and the Danube, the kingdom's two most important rivers. Founded during the third cen tury B. C-, It has been held success ively by Celts, Romans, Huns, Goths, Bulgarians, Byzantines, Hungarians, Serbians and Austrians. Other Impor tant Yugoslavian communities are: A gram (Zagreb), Subetlca and Sara jevo the latter the place where the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinat ed, an event which led to the world war."

PORTLAND, Oct. 26. p) In or der to Insure disbursements this month, deviation from general prac tice of requiring delivery of refund ing bonds by the drainage, levee and lirigatlon districts of the Recon struction Finance corporation will be followed In the cases of the Medford and Ochoco projects. . Congressmen Charles H. Martin re ceived this word today from Jesse H. Jones. RFC chairman. Jones said the division Is conoen tiatlng on the problems of the Med ford, Ochoco, Gold Hill and Hoort River Irrigation districts, as they are the roost advanced. In the Medford and Ochoco dis tricts the hope Is held that disburse ments will be made this month, Jones said, providing requirement for clos ing the loans arc promptly met ljy the districts. The message from Jones said: "Drainage, levee and Irrigation di vision is concentrating on such loans and especially those to Medford. Ochoco, Gold Hill and Hood River irrigation districts, since these ars farthest advanced. We are deviating from general practice of rsqulrlivj delivery of refunding bonds and will purchase the old securities of Med ford and Ochoco in an effort to make disbursements to these two districts this month, and Indications are that w"riH-tee-sMooeosfuVprovlded neces sary requirements in closing such loans are promptly met by districts. You may rest assured there will bo no delay at this end," YEARS TINKERING WITH GOLD GIVES NO CLEAR RESULT , a Economists Split On Bene fit Of Move Price Of Metal Up 12.5 Per Cent, Commodities Only 7.3. By BENJAMIN COLBY WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The first anniversary of the American drive to restore prices by lowering the gold value of the dollar finds economists still quarreling about It. It was Just a year ago today that the RFC began buying newly-mlnM domestfc gold with paper dollars. Since that time the price of the metal in terms of dollars has been pushed from $31.00 an ounce to 3. a rise of about 12 5 per cent. Wholesale commodity prices, as compiled by the bureau of labor sta tistics, have moved up 7.3 per cent, standing on October 13 at 76.4 per cent of the 1926 average. Since the March. 1933, bank holi day and suspension of the right tc receive gold for paper money, whole sale commodity prices have gone up about 38 per cent. Most of these increases occurred before the be ginning of the gold purchase pro gram. Economists Differ. There Is decidedly no unanimity among economists on the subject Some say cheapening - the dollar Is bad business. Others say the way to bring back prosperity is to raise the dollar price of gold. Prof. George P. Warren, presidential adviser, came Into prominence as an exponent of the latter school. Before the gold-dollar buying campaign be gan he wrote a magazine article urg ing that the government "simply change the price of gold." "Why not raise It from $20.67 an ounce (the old stautory price) to a higher level?" he asked. "Then prices will rise In proportion. A 75 per cent increase to $26.17 an ounce would bring quick recovery, - quickly put men back to work and quickly bal ance the national budget." At the time the gold buying start ed, there was much talk here of a "commodity dollar" that is, a dollar whose gold content would be alter-d to meet changes in price of a select-1 eo, list of commodities Commodity Hollar Palls, This, according to the theories of many new -school economists, would mean a dollar of constant purchasing power. In recent months, there has not been so much talk of such a commodity dollar. The RFC began buying newly- min ed domestic gold a year ago at $31 36 an ounce, paying 27 cents above the world price far above the old statu tory figure of $2067. It did not represent an abrupt Jump, however, for the decline In tne dollsr's value had been about one-third since the nation suspend ed gold payments. After raising the price of domestic gold for a few days, the government began purchasing foreign metal. The rest of the world scrambled for gold, also, and sometimes the figures of fered elsewhere outstripped what the United States was willing to pay. The buying figure was advanced almost dally until the middle of No vember, but as a price of $35 an ounce was approached changes be came leas frequent, only one occur ring between the first of December and formal dollar devaluation by congress late In January.
