FRANK JINKIN1 Editor MALCOLM IPLIT Managing Kdltor Member, Aeeoctated Preaa Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY OUR discussion of housing needs, which ap peared hero a couple of days ago, brought this comment from a man who has invested ome money in dwelling con struction here: , "I agree that there is a need for a building boom in - houses, and I think it ought ' to be encouraged. But one of the most serious deterrent factors is the tax burden on real estate. It is simply too heavy, and- nothing has hap pened In Oregon in recent years that indicates anything constructive is going .to be done about it. The owners of EPLEY real property are expected to pay too much of the rising cost of government." lit the .back of his mind, we knew, was the sales tax. Sales taxes have been often defeated in Oregon, While in neighboring California and Washington they have been in force for years, equalizing the burden of governmental cost and lightening the load on property. Whether anything definite can be done in the direction of real property tax relief in Oregon in the near future may be indicated when the governor's tax study commission, cur rently at work, makes its report. The com mission, we understand, has held a number of meetings and ' hearings, and is making some progress. It is our hope that it will come forth with a program that will divide the tax burden equitably among the various possible sources real property, incomes, consumer levies, etc. in so fair a way that all the constructive ele ments of the state among business, labor and agriculture, will get behind it and put it across. Highway Policy SOME little public misunderstanding seems to have developed with regard to the atti- tude of the chamber of commerce toward high way routings. The chamber has taken no stand In the question of cross-city traffic routes. 'Some people with whom we have talked had an idea the chamber had taken a position in this matter, and others wanted to know why it hasn't. ' For many years, it has been the policy of the chamber to work for highway construction in this area between ' certain points, but leaving the question of specific routes to the decision of the highway department without attempting to influence it. The principal reason for this is obvious. The chamber membership is representative of all . sections of the area, and it could easily become , involved in bitter sectional rivalry if it under took to favor one local area against another for highway routings. The chamber has de cided to maintain its traditional policy . with respect to .the cross-town traffic question. Brief s From The Pocket File COMMODORE C. T.

News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Does Russia want war? I am confident she does not. The inner portent of events clearly says he wanted to conquer Europe and Asia for'' communism, or her current arbitrary socialist equivalent. . We can' only judge by what she has said and done, plus her apparent self Inter est. i She has pursued the policy of taking as much as she can get without stepping over the line into overt belligerency. She has used her troops in the Baltic and Balkans, revolution ! in Iran, treaties in China and diplomacy in Japan, Italy, France and our occupation areas. Her purpose does not . vary; her tactics are adjusted to locale. - I do not for one moment believe any Russian official considers capitalistic democracy super ior to arbitrary socialism. I think they expect the world to come to dictatorial socialism. But they also see democratic capitalism is having its troubles. Britain is bent upon a labor party socialism under modified capitalism and a parliament for the next step at least. (Churchill claims they will have to make it dictatorial eventually in order to make it work.) We have a debt around 300 billion dollars, a drag which capitalism has never tried to carry before, and we have a confused people. The Russians may well figure they can wait as far as we are concerned while picking up power in Europe and Asia. Hewed To One Line ."VUR foreign policy has hewed to one line. J We have defended our hopes for post war through United Nations organization and its modified Atlantic Charter background; and we have resisted encroachments upon this hope by. Russia or Britain. We have tried appease ment, waiting, money, gifts and pressure with limited, if not discouraging results. Peace has not been fulfilled. We have not tried isolation or war, and will not voluntarily. Russian diplomacy is not likely to force us into either eventuality, for plain reasons, namely these: In the final depth of our Ideology, we repre sent in this world, a basic God-fearing principle. In us, it manifests itself generally as a belief in Christian social faith. But the Confucionists and the Mohammedans are also God-fearing. They have leaned sharp ly toward our political policy in the postwar events. - In the matter of communism or Russianism they are naturally our diplomatic allies. Marx, fundamentally and rightly realized, the state-ideal could not be erected among the God-fearing. Russia uses the orthodox church politically, alternately as a football and foreign prestige-builder (Balkans), but basic arbitrary socialism holds for the long run with Marx. There are said to be 220,000,000 Moham medans in this world; 338,000,000 Roman Cath olics; 135,000,000 Protestants and 15,000, 000 Jews, (with majorities naturally antagonistic to state dominated religions.) 1 Certainly a great many people like our world influence more than any other, and ap- preciate that upon our ' leadership rests the world hope of all the God-fearing. .... World Responsibility WE can hardly return to isolationism, if we wished. We have assumed a world re sponsibility, and the pressure of it will be upon us. ' - Our desire for peace based on freedom of the individual, has thrown us Into conflict with the policy of Russia, and involved us in In congruities which bewilder our people. Mr. Truman told China, he would keep our troops there only until the Japs were , demobil ized, warning Chiang Kai-shek to take the revolting communists and other parties Into the Chinese government, promising credits and economic help if this is done. Contrariwise and simultaneously, Moscow an nounces successful conclusion of a communist revolution in Iran, a nation she occupies. The difference in procedure is otherwise apparent Mr. Truman denounces "one-party govern ment," rightly considering it dictatorship, in China, while one-party rule stu controls kus- sia, and is being extended by Russia through the Baltic, Balkans and a one-party revolution in Iran. Is it possible for our people to be other than confused? i - What do we do then? Appease? Or war? Both courses are unthinkable. We cannot win Russia by appeasement, and know this. We can buy delay; we cannot purchase devotion to our principles. On the other hand, we could not conquer Russia, if we wanted to, and we do not want to. How then? ' The course required of us seems clear. We must defend our principles and resist Russia politically with politics. By superior states manship, ingenuity and by all other means in accord with our principles, we must resist. . . . Must Resist Britain AE must resist Britain when she deviates VV from our principle (Java.) Above all, we must resist ourselves, when our people wish to escape principles for peace. This nation desires to go back to sleep in peace, more than anything else. If we could just have world disarmament, and get our boys back home and safe, we would be happy and world politics could go hang. We all want this. Yet do you not plainly see the peace to which we have come in our victory is not that kind of peace? By its very nature, it has become a peace of responsibility; an unfulfilled peace; a peace to be maintained. You and I did not make it this way. We cannot un-make it. The world is that way. It can be different in the future, only as we work to make it . different. Truth does not jump out eager to confront you at every corner. You must seek it to find it. Propaganda, deception, delusions, artifices these devices are not only served to you freely; your hopes can be played upon against your own interests. We must daily establish more ' firmly an American foreign policy based on our agreed principle alone, and pursue it without apology or exceptions. The World Today Br DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affair Analyst City Council Will Meet And Adjourn 'The city 'council will meet Monday night as usual, but it will be only for the purpose of adjourning until , Thursday, De cember 27, city hall officials said today.

LONDON, Dec. 20 The ad vent of an out and out socialist government has rendered the position of tho king-emperor rather paradoxical in theory, al though practically his majesty 1113 1I11U II1U new political scheme of things as neat ly as ' though the kingship were1 designed originally as part of Eng land's leftist jigsaw puzzle. The social ists h a v e n't shnurn Ihn slightest MacKENZIE disposition to interfere with the monarchy. On the contrary, while thrones on the continent have been toonling in the left ist storm, the British institution still stnnds as solid as its-own Rnrk nf Gibraltar. Considering all aspects of the situation, one is tempted to the belief that providence molded the character of the present king to fit the political crisis which has now nit tngiana. nc would seem in all respects to represent the type and the only tyDe of monarch whom the socialist government could accept. Man of the People George VI is a plain man of the people. I've been watching him closely ever since he was a small lad, and so far as one can see he hasn't any ambition to exercise royal authority, or yet to wear a jewel-studded crown. He is quite happy to take his in structions from the prime min ister. And that, of course, is precisely what the government in a constitutional monarchy and especially a socialist gov ernment most desires. The situation might have had an entirely different complexion wero the throne occupied today by the present kings revered grandfather, Edward V, or by the late George V, or yet by Edward VIII, who abdicated so that he might marry Mrs. Simp son. All those cast monarchs were strong-willed men who at times confronted their govern ments with gestures of royal au- momy ana sometimes made their desires stick. Terrible' Conditions About the last thing of this sort occurred not long before Edward VUI abdicated. While visiting the coal fields in Wales he became angered (and auite rightly) over the terrible condi tions of the workers, and said In forceful language that some thing must be done about it. He thereby trod heavily on the toes of his government, which was Slanning changes for the mining idustry. In short, Edward step- pea quite outside his role as constitutional monarch. There's small likelihood of tne present king doing anything like that and he wouldn't be very wise if he tried it on the socialist government. He does his job cheerfully and it is a very neavy one because of his constant public appearances but he is quite haDDV to leave the direction of affairs of state to his ministers.
