t European Satellites Lacking in Background of Democratic Rule By CHARLES M. McCANN United Pros Correspondent The countries of Eastern Eu rope seem to be heading toward a new period in their politi cal evolution. The revolts in Hungary and Poland against Soviet Russian dom ination have assumed h i s- toric signific Clurl Hclui -ance. It even appears quite possible that, within a few years. Com munism Itself may well lose out In some of the countries which have been under Red rule since the end of World War II. If that happens, a new ques tion will arise: What sort of gov ernments will replace the Com munist dictatorships. They would not necessarily all become real democracies.

Hungary a One-Time Kingdom Before World War II. Albania, Bulgaria and Romania were monarchies. So was Yugoslavia, now under Communist rule though no longer a Russian Sat ellite. Hungary was a kingdom with out a king, under the rule of Adm. Nicholas Horthy as reg ent. Its government became in creasingly authoritarian along Fascist lines. East Germany, after some years as part of the unstable Weimar Republic, became a part of Hitler's Nazi dictatorship. Poland and Czechoslovakia were republics. Poland, how ever, became a virtual dictator ship. Czechoslovakia alone had a stable democratic government. Countries Were Monarchies The lack of deep democratic background is emphasized when it is remembered that until the Neighbors Seeking Help to Build Home Neighbors of Mrs. Pearl Bo liou who lives on Ponderosa St., just off Gibson rd.. Central Point, are seeking help and funds to help finish construc tion of a home for Mrs. Boliou. Mrs. Boliou's home and pos sessions were destroyed in a fire last April, and she has been liv ing in a trailer since then. Neigh bors have been donating time to build her a new home with most ly donated material, but bad weather has set in, and they wish to complete the house as soon as possible. Neighbors said the Rogue Val ley State Bank has offered to set up a Boliou Building fund for which donations in any amount will be accepted. Donations for labor may be made by contact ing E. T. Garrison, telephone TA 6-4873, neighbors said. Mrs. Boliou is about 73 years old. end of World War I every one of the countries concerned was a monarchy or part of a mon archy. It is pretty certain that if some of the satellite countries freed themselves of Communist rule they would turn into dictator ships of one kind or another. Those which did not would be likely to follow the multi-party system of parliamentary govern ment which has made politics so turbulent in France. It is a curious part of the Eu ropean political picture that, aside from Switzerland, most of the countries which are really stable are monarchies The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and Great Britain, which does not regard itself as part of Europe. It is curious also that Ameri cans, who regard themselves as citizens of a new country, sel dom stop to think that politic ally the United States is an old one. Of the great powers of Eu rope, Britain alone has a demo cratic constitutional system old er than that of the United States. France's birth as a republic fol lowed that of America. Until World War I, Russia and Ger many were autocratic monar chies. Italy became a republic only after World War II. The people of Eastern Europe have still to acquire, by experi ence, the political education which is necessary for demo cratic self-rule. It is likely to take them a long time. But, at least, their freedom from the ugly pestilence of Communism would be a gi gantic step forward.
