Medford Mail Tribune Second Section Thirtieth Year MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1933. No. Six Pages PETER, BOY KING, DENIED PLM IN Must Be Prepare! to Take Over Duties in Six Years Four of Nine Predeces sors Were Assassinated By Stewart Brown BELGRADE. Yugoslavia (UP) King Peter n of Jugoslavia has the toughest Job ever set before an 11-year-old boy. In slightly more than six years he must be prepared to take over the burdens borne by his father, the late King Alexander, who was murdered by a Macedonian terrorist in Mar seilles last fall. On Sept. 6. 1941, Kmgeter, whe then will be 18, will assume active responsibility for & territory of 96.000 square miles with a population of 14.000,000 persons of many different races, religions and often bitterly conflicting political opinions. Four of King Peter's ntne prede cessors on the throne were assassi nated, while of the remaining five only three died in bed during their rule. The other two abdicated. Despite the uncertainties and dan gers of his position, little King Peter Is hard at work on the difficult task before htm, as was verified by tho writer on a trip to this city. Just at the time most bays are freshmen or sophomores in college, King Peter must abandon his studies and sit on the throne which until his majority (181 Is being guarded by a Regency Council headed by his fath er's cousin. Prince Paul. To assimilate the necessary knowl edge to rule his kingdom, Peter is subjected to an intensive education al program. A staff of tutors and pro fessors keep him hard at work on languages, history, geography and the sciences. Of all the subjects, he likes the sciences best. He Is a antural mechanic, one of his tutors told the United Press. He operates his own miniature automo bile which Is capable of & speed of 35 miles an hour. He has his own motorboat and several small-scale airplanes. MAP OUTLINES WEYERHAEUSER KIDNAP CHASE ' . CAUrQgNIA I ' .NEVADA , CVMP 'v ABOUT WAR PLANS E Illustrated in this Associated Press map are the kidnaping near Tacoma of George Weyerhaeuser, 9, the abductors' route to Spokane, where the boy was held; his release at Issaquah; the passing of the first ransom bill at Huntington, Ore., for a railroad ticket to Salt Lake; the arrest and confession there of Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Waley; the flight of a mysterloua tan car and the abandonment near Butte of an automobile containing $15,000 of the $200,000 ransom monev. Money His Chief Worry His worst worry Is money. His mother. Dowager Queen Marie, put him on a limited allowance , which the youthful King found too small for his requirements. He asked, his mother for more money. She refused, saying he must learn to make economies. To this Pe ter replied: "Very welt, I will learn a trade and make more money for myself." He did. Prom his spending money he bought and equipped a carpenter's shop. He made small objects which the Queen allowed him to sell to pri vate persons. The demand is greater than Peter's time to meet It. Btit now he has more money. Peter's day starts at 7 a. m. when, after prayers, he breakfasts with his family. After breakfast he walks In the park with his mother and two smaller brothers, Tommy and Andre. At 0 a. m. the young monarch must lay aside his royal authority and start school work. He Is prompt to report for work, but when the weather Is good he Insists on having his lessons out-of-doors. He has 16 hours of lessons a week, and an additional 6 hours of physical education. The Dowager Queen Is anx ious to put her somewhat delicate son in the best physical condition before he takes the throne. Takes Rigorous Exercise To build up his body he does the gymnastic exercises of the Soknls (sort of military Yugoslav Boy Scouts), rides, swims and sklls. Ac cording to his tutors he does all of them well. His Intimates say the young King refuses to seize things superficially and Insists on getting everything thoroughly and exact. One day he asked his professor why trees have leaves. "To breathe," answered the teach er. "Then why." came back the quick question, "do trees lose their leaves in winter? How do they breathe then?" Peter Is Popular Such stories are legion In Belgrade. The young King Is immensely popu lar and everyone sympathizes with him because of the difficulties ahead for him. His photograph Is In nearly every office, every shop window and every home In Serbia. Not so In Croa tia where the Croats feel no loyalty to the son of the king who allegedly forced them Into an unequal union with the Serbs. Every morning Peter faithfully picks a handful of flowers from the garden and places them before the picture of his father. He will let no body else in the house perform this task. The boy already realizes the difficult role he Is to piny and his meln la serious. Barely does h laugh and romp about with his brothers as he did before last year's tragedy. Oklahoma Infant Likes His Cigar Mc A LESTER. Okla. (UP) Most babies like Ice cream cones or candy but two-year-old John M. Mullican, Jr.. will have a clgnr. If you don't mind. There's nothing like a good cigar, or even a chew of tobacco, for him. The smoking habit isn't exactly "new" to the boy, his father said. In fact, he said, the boy began using to bacco at the age of seven months. It was his father's pipe. Mrs. Mullican said the habit nas not Injured the baby's health. Some Believe Dictator Re creating Nation's Military Strength to Distract Peo ple From Economic Woe By FKEDKKICK Ki ll LONDON (UP) That Germany believes her chances of winning the next war are better than in the last is the impression of competent mili tary observers. Since Germany admitted vast se cret rearmament, Europeans have dis carded the word "if" in favor of "when" In discussing war prospects. But Inquisitive non-Germans, In gauging the chances and timing of the next.war, have encountered per plexities. They have been asking whetner Germany can expect to win another war. If she precipitates one. And they have wondered, even If Germany could defeat France or any two Eu lopean powers, whether tho old Allies would reassemble. Others have been pondering whether the United States would stay out of the next Europoan struggle. The more optimistic have surmised that Adolf Hitler Is recreat ing the nation's military strength and building up a proper martial spirit merely to distract the people from ecanomla troubles, without myj in tention ever to go to war. Par from being naive, these ques tions, with variations and enmeshed In Intricate detail, have also been pre occupying European statesmen. That Hitler regards war as an In strument of national policy has been admitted candidly in his autobiogra phy. "My Struggle." In that book he wrote with equal frankness of his dream of expanding the German realm In Eastern Europe, recognizing that force would have to bo .used to realize that objective. Hit ler's advisor on foreign policy, Alfred Rosenberg, has made clear that It Is Soviet Ukralna on which a covetous eye is cast. Hitler has never repudi ated this plan. And his remarks to Sir John Simon, British Foreign Sec retary ,ln Berlin In March made clear that he regards Russia as the Imme diate enemy. Vengeanre War Disavowed Though his memoirs also envisaged a German war of vengeance against France as necessary, he has since dis avowed these assertions. By establishing a conscript army of 600.000 and harnessing the bulk of German industries to production of I munitions and other materials needed in wartime. Hitler incidentally has reduced unemployment and diverted millions of Germans from an Idleness and discontent which might have he come menacing. But Judging by his own book, this aspect appears subor dinate to Hitler's paramount aim of restoring Germany's military might and her "place in the sun." Hitler Is believed even by his bit terest enemies when he says he Is not now contemplating war. Experts Insist that he will require at least several years to train millions of re serve troops and rebuild the navy to parity with Franco Involving an in crease from Germany's present 180,000 to about 600.000 tons of warships. Time Needed to Win Allies Above all, however. Hitler requires ample time to win allies. Within two years he has made headway In that direction. He has succeeded In undermining the mllt tary alliance between France and her most important ally. ohmd. He has a staunch friend in Hungary.

And Hitler clings fast to his faith that Austria must and will be united with the Reich. Britain remains the big question mark. Bound to Prance not only by sentimental ties lingering from the World War, but also by fear of the large and growing German alr-forcc, within striking distance of London, the British have been torn betweeu an Impulse to cement the ring around Germany and a desire to ob serve neutrality in the hope of keep ing out of the next war. Britain In Strong Position Britain's decisive voice In European counsels has largely been due to the balance of power between Prance and Germany. Indications are that Brit ain will not voluntarily forfeit this vantage point in favor of Joining any continental allinnce. Hitler consequently may be specu lating on Britain's possible neutrality In the next war. Moreover, Hitler Is said to be con vinced that the United States will strongly resist being dragged Into an other European conflagration, that isolationism there has Increased and that America's engagement In the next European conflict would Hive Japan an Ideal opportunity for cap turing lasting supremacy in the west ern Pacific and on the Asiatic main land. Including China. Others, hew ever, have pointed otu that th United States would almost certaiUij be involved If Japan were to aid th , Germans. Meanwhile, the recent addition o( Russia to Prance's actual If not yes formal allies has undoubtedly ad ministered a setback to Germany's world position. But tne German Nazi and army leaders have toyed with the Idea of a German-Japanese entente with a view to dispersing the Red army and Soviet air-force across th 5,000 miles between Russia's eastern and western borders.
