alble Inside view
of Europe today.

What made It
more Important

fact that there

ers throughout
PAUL MALLON
Europe which at any time may eaten
up such Insignificant sounds and
transmit them into chrieking gun
thunder In every capital In the world.
One Is across the Greek border In
Bulgaria. Since the war. Bulgaria
has been living In hopes of reclaim
ing a commercial outlet to the Ae
gean sea through Greece. She sensed
the opportunity presented by inter
nal strife in Greece. Her troops
moved up to the Thracian border at
the first sound of the Greek dispute.
This troop movement was heard at
one In Turkey. The Turks have a
secret alliance with the Greeks to
prevent Just such a step. Immedi
ately Turkey began to concentrate
troop on her Bulgarian frontier.
Any trouble between Turkey and
Bulgaria would Immediately draw In
most of the other Balkan powers.
They are bound by treaty to come to
Turkey's assistance.
But that would be only the begin
ning. Behind Turkey stands Prance. The
French arc friends of the Turks and
have been cool toward Bulgaria since
Bulgaria refused to Join the little en
tente pact of French allies. . . .
Bulgaria has greater hidden power
behind her also. Italy has been back
ing her as a wedge in the anti-Italian
little entente and as a threat against
Jugoslavia. Italy's traditional enemy,
which borders on Bulgaria.
Behind France and Italy the ampli
fication possibilities are obvious and
endless.
Best U. S. authorities agreed the
maximum amplification possibilities
probably would not be reached at
this time, but they cannot tell when
the next far-away match-scratch will
split their eardrums at home.
The secret lineup in Europe con
stantly shifts, but, never changes.
The ay stem Is substantially the same

moted the world war.
A clever congressman has dug up
privately an old forgotten law which
says:
"No money appropriated by any
act (of coneressi shall be used for
the compensation of any publicity
expert unless specifically appropriat
ed for that purpose."
This would seem to lllegallze the
best part of the New Deal press
agent avstem. because money was not
specifically appropriated for most of
the new publicity men (NRA. fwa
FHA. ETC.). The law went into ef
fect October 22. 1913 (title 8. No. 54.
and Annotated Statutes, U. 5.) and
has never been repealed, but
Apparently the New Draiers knew
about it, even if no one else did. At
least they have taken steps to circum
vent It.
For one thing, they have very
naively neglected to designate most
of their publicity men as such on
the payroll. Instead the.e employes
are generally called "administrative
scents' or other fancy nnn.es.

priations carry blanket authority to
hire and fire anyone. The federal

SALEM, Ore., March 12. (AP) In
vestigation of the Oregon relief ad
ministration through the reorganised
committee will be made, "but there
will be no public Investigation," Gov
ernor Charles H. Martin today told a
delegation representing the National
Economic Welfare federation.
The group, headed by W. K. Pat
rick, all of them on relief In the state
from periods up to as long a two
and a half years, requested the ex
ecutive first Investigate the present
administration, then added that those
on relief who were not satisfied with
the amounts received, and further
declared the state should contribute
more to match federal funds.
Hint Funds Missing
"Would you follow through if we
bring you a claim to find about a
million and a halt dollars that seems
to have disappeared?" Patrick asked
the executive.
Indeed I will," the governor re
plied. "Every legitimate complaint
will be Investigated through the com
mtttee, and with the four members
of my own appointment on the com
mittee, I am responsible for their ac
tion.
The governor declared further that
'as your governor I will assume all
responsibility. I am going to do the
best I can for all the people, and not
for Just a group.
'I have no political ambitions. I
have but one point In view and that
is to do the very best I can. At the
first meeting of the committee I will
a&k the members to Investigate every
legitimate complaint, the governor l
continued.
Solons Reassured
The .ultimatum followed close upon
the heels of a similar statement to
members of the house of representa
tives who Inquired as to the execu
tive's attitude toward the proposal
of Representatives Warren Erwln and
Etlls Barnes that a legislative Inves
tigation be launched by resolution.
For days Erwln and Barnes have been
circulating a copy of such a resolu
tion among their colleagues In an
andeavor to Induce others to Join
with them as Its sponsor for Intro
duction. As the members of the delegation
entered the executive office and In
troduced themselves each declard he
had been on the relief rolls for pe
riods varying from a few months to
two and a half years.
"What la your complaint?" Govern
or Martin asked.
"We do not believe that the stand
ards of relief In Oregon are up to
the maximum of relief elsewhere," re
plied Patrick.
"What standard do you want?"
"A wage sufficient to provide the
American standard of living." Pat
rick answered.
In reply to qucsttons by Governor
Martin, members of the delegation
said they had been receiving up to
$35 or $40 a month. Patrick said he
was getting about 120 month.
"What do you consider Is em
braced In the American standard of
living?" Oovjernor Martin asked.
"Food, shelter, clothing, fuel and
other necessary articles," Patrick
said.
"Amusements?"
Mostly Federal Funds.
"No. we are not asking ,that. al

Assertions of "a ntl-American" were

figures today In a wild session be

ARE CONSIDERED
BY LEGISLATURE
SALEM, March 12. (AP The ma
jor Issues before the atate legislature
today'Vcre put over until later con
sideration under special orders of
business, while both houses of the
Oregon assembly during the morning
considered many minor measures on
the calendar.
The senate at 3 o'clock this after
noon was to consider the passage of
the bill which would eliminate any
tolls on the five Oregon coast bridges.
The measure, as passed by the house,
would place the responsibility of pay
ing off the federal loan of 4.200.000
upon the state highway commission
from other revenue of that depart
ment. The house put over the amusement
tax bill, which yesterday was sent
back to committee and today was re
ported out on divided reports, until
tomorrow afternoon. Indicating the
legislature would not adjourn at least
before tomorrow night.
The reports on the bill, which would
assess a ten per cent tax on all amuse
ments, consisted of a majority that
a substitute bill be passed which
changed the original only In that
the proceeds going to the old btc
pension fund be paid out at a maxi
mum of $30 a month Instead of $45
as first proposed. The minority re
port was that the substitute bill be
killed.
The 58th day of the session was
overshadowed by the movement on
the part of National Economic Wel
fare Federation members to seek an
Investigation of the state relief set
up and more funds for the unem
ployed. In contrast to the past several days
when most of Its time was spent on
committee reports, the senate at noon
today cleared a heavy calendar of all
but seven bills up for final passage

11. Wasn't that a remarkable
will that Oliver Wendell
I lo I tn os left? Imagine a man
giving his money to the govern
ment at a timn when 120,000,.
000 people are trying to get it
away from the government, or
trying to keep from pnying 'cm
even what we owo 'em.
At least 80 years of service
to this country and he Rccumn
lates some money and is so ap
preciative of what his country
has done for hiin that he wants
to return it all.
All wc hear is "what's the
miitti-r with the country!"
"What's the matter with the
worlfM" There ain't but one
word wrong with every one of
us in the world and' that's sel
fishness. Yours,
