The Situation in Bulgaria
(From the New York Herald).

The Bulgarian Minister at Wash
ington, stephan Panaretiff, in deny
ing the recent report OF a revolt in
Bulgaria, added that the political
situation in that country was threat
ening. The dour, hard-headed Bull
garians are tense politicians and
the bitterness OF their contests have
in the past sometimes led to politi-
cal excesses. Stambouloff, the wisest
of their early leaders, was killed by
a political enemy. Alexander Gre
koff, one Of their ablest diplomats,
was assassinated last Sunday night.
Alexander Stambuliski, the present
Premier, declaring that "one must
be prepared for DEATH" said that he
placed on record the Government
business so that the functions of
Government might not be suspended
by "any fate of mine"
Buigarias problems are peculiarly
her own. She was dragged into the
world war by King Ferdinand large
" against her own will and she car
ried on the fight half-heartedly after
she defeated her ancient enemies,
the Serbians. She was intensely
bitter at losing the hegemony Of the
Balkans, the territory she had won
in Balkan wars and the outlets she
had acquired on the AEGEAN sea.
She declares, too, that the repara-
ton demands inflict too heavy a bur
den upon her In her present impoV-
erished condition.
Now that Ferdinand Is gone 1t Is
difficult to find a person upon whose
shoulders to place the blame for all
these national Ills and II is equally
difficult to find a person or a party
that can furnish a satisfactory rem
edy for them. The situation is COM
plicated by the presence OF about
10000 russian refugees, soldiers
under General Wrangel, a former
anti-Bolshevist leader. Many Bull
garians insist upon the expulsion OF
these refugees. The reason is not
entirely communistic sympathy with
the Moscow government, but rather
n desire TO do something that might
bring down upon Bulgaria the wrath
Of the big neighbor on the north
and also TO be relieved from the
burden OF caring for this addition to
the nations own poor.

Blizsards Acquittal
(From the New York Tribune) .

William Billiards. acquittal in the
Charlestown Court shows once more
how difficult it is to convict in this
country on the charge Of treason.
The court and the jury took a
strictly technical view of the case.
omitting the larger considerations
of constitutional decadence and out
lawry in West Virginia. But even
on the narrowest grounds Blizzard
was set free.
The judge had ruled that since an
indictment for treason had been
brought in Logan county only overt
acts committed by the defendant
within that county could be regard
ed as evidence OF guilt. The testi-
mony on this point was weak, Biz
yards presence within the county
being explained by him and other
witnesses as tending to compose the
troubles there rather than to aggra-
vate them.
The American view OF treason is
extremely guarded. It must consist
in levying war against the United
states-or, in this case, against a
State--in adhering to the enemies
OF the nation or OF a State and CIV
ing them aid and comfort. This Of
fense must be established by overt
acts testified to by two witnesses.
No case meeting these requirements
could be made out against Biz
zard, any more than II could be

Many Bulgarians are communits
but their communism is OF a differ
ent brand from that at Moscow
Lenine believed that Bulgaria would
be easily won to Bolshevist ideals
and he early sent his representa-
tives there. What the Bulgarians
told these representatives in sub
stance was this: We are communists
centuries ago: communism was one
four early tribal institutions; we
chose from practice, not from theory,
what would best help us. and we
have retained II; we don't care for
your theories or principles. Bolshe-
vism made no advance in Bulgaria.;
when It's propagandists attempted
TO hold a meeting at Sofia, Stambul-
iski broke up the assembly and told
Lenine's disciples he would boot
them out of the town If they did not
leave.
The leading political party is the
Agrarian. It is the natural party In
a country where there are no great
landed estates and where most of
the people are peasant farmers own
ing their own land. Their opposition
is made up of a number OF small
parties. among them the Milltarists,
who thrived in Ferdlnand's rule, and
the Bulgarian Expansionists, who
would recover lost territory and
gather into the Bulgarian kingdom
the Bulgars of Macedonia.
There has been so far little oppo-
sition to King Boris. He was born
in Bulgaria and Is one of the people.
The Bulgarians consider him a well
young man, but he has as
little authority in state affairs as
any king in the world. His position
Is not a pleasant one, as his father
Is held up almost daily to execra-
ton and abuse by the Ministers, the
Parliament and the press. The
strength of Bulgaria lies in her real
rulers. the peasants. hard-working
hard-headed people, who had so
many risky adventures under the
old Fox of the Balkans that they
should be willing to cultivate peace
in the future. It is up to them to
live down the evil traditions of their
public life and to endeavor to regain
the confidence OF the world.

Was there a war" in West Vir-
ginia? The leaders of the union
miners who marched against Logan
and Mingo counties were manifest
ly trying to take the law into their
own hands. But the group of non
union coal operators. controlling the
local government in the two coun-
ties, had already taken the law into

NHE utter hypocrisy the Democratic Senators con-

of the Alabama graphite industry due to lack of sde
quate tariff protection sounded like the plea of

The Finance Committee placed duty OF two cents a

FOREIGN VIEW

From the Washington Post.
The testimony given on Monday
by Edward P. Farley, one of the
Nce-presidents of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. before the Sen
ate commerce and House merchant
marine committees. holding a Joint
hearing on the ship subsidy bill, is
interesting and important. Mr.. Far
ley has just returned from Europe,
where he investigated conditions in
five maritime countries. The Euro
pean view, as expounded by him, is,
on the one hand. that the United
States will be unable to expand its
merchant marine without govern
ment aid and, on the other, that the
American people have made up their
minds to have an efficient merchant
fleet and will use all the means in
their power to see that it is given
the necessary amount of encourage
ment.
This, Il must be conceded, is an
accurate diagnosis of the situation.
1t is quite true that not only the ad-
ministration, but also the American
people as a whole are determined
to keep the flag on the seas and
cheerfully to submit to the infinitesi-
NAL taxation essential to the secur-
ing of that end. If the adoption of
this course will, as alleged, bring
about a diversion Of business which
will work to the disadvantage of
foreign ships it is evident that the
American ships will be correspond
ingly benefited, and that. of course.
is one of the main objects of the
subsidy. At all events, it is not for
an American to object. and the for
eigner, accustomed probably to sub
sidy in his own country can scarce
ly do so with any fair show of rea-
son. Besides, the eventual disad-
vantage is really problematic, for If
foreign trade over the world were
back on a normal basis, there would
be cargoes and employment for
every ship fit to sail In any case. !
it is the obvious duty of the nation /
TO see that its own merchant marine !
is, by subsidy or otherwise, estab-
lished on a solid basis.

EDITORIAL OPINION
srnment in dealing with the Russian

eminent in dealing with the Russian
problem until Russia within herself
provides the conditions essential to
the restoration of productivity in
that country.
At a time when leadership is lack
ing in so many places throughout
this great country President Hard
ing and Secretary Hughes can be
certain that the average American
is proud of the leadership which the
Administration is offering the Ameri-
can people in relation to European
affairs. Our gocernment has a policy
regarding Russia and what is more
our spokesmen in foreign affairs
have the courage TO adhere to that
policy. The terms upon which this
government will act with other gov
ernments in assisting the rehabili-
tation of Europe have been repeat
edly stated When those terms are
met American assistance will be
forthcoming. Presently, perhaps,
Europe will come to the conclusion
that the American government
means what It says in this matter.
When that conclusion has been
reached we shall not have to wait
long for the acceptance of our terms.
Meantime the frequency with which
new invitations are thrust upon
washington only reinforces the wis
dom of the Administration in re-
fusing to scrap the policy OF Wash
ington and reduce the mandate of
November, 1920. to a scrap of paper.

son Opened Last Night.

Showing d greater variety OF at
tack, a SITTER defense and an all
aroand better brand OF the hoop
game than it's opponents, the Juneau
High School five last night opened
the local basketball season by dc
feating the Sailor quintet off the
Unalga by a score Of As to II. The
Sailors put up IA good clean game,
and fought hard ito stay the tide of
defeat, but were overmatched.
The High School displayed the
markings of a real offense last night
for the first time in two years. The
men passed better than in any game
they played all last season and
worked a five.man offense that the
Sailors were unable ito break up con-
sistently. Under instructions to pass
the ball rather than try for quick
goals, the "J'' lads piled up respect
able score. Four men were worked
ait forwards during the evening. Scat
aglini, playing his first year on the
team, despite natural attack of
nerves, led in the scoring with IS
points and when he gets a little more
experience will be a hard man TO
hold. Barragar, who was at forward
in the second half, Gagged five from
scrimmage for 10 points. He showed
lack of practice, however, which
Handicapped him in keeping up with
the passing of his teammates. Janik-
sela, starting the game at forward,
put up a good floor game and shot
one goal. He displayed a tendency
to play the man instead of the ball
that cut down his effectiveness. FL

score ana was not as effective as the
