IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
KILLED BY HIS OWN

Knowing that much of its grief origin
ates in the Balkans, Europe will await
with considerable apprehension the re-
suits of yesterdays tragedy at Marseil-
les, France. when Alexander I, king of
Jugoslavia, was assassinated, together
with Louis Barthou, French foreign min
ister
The fact that the kings assassin was
one of his own subjects Croatian-
will undoubtedly serve to mitigate rep
ercussions which might be disastrous.
It is evident that only the kings life was
sought and that Barthou heroically met
death trying to protect the life of his
nations royal visitor who only few
moments before had been welcomed to
the shores of France with all the real
pomp and ceremony due him.
Since his accession to the throne in
1921 on the death of his father King
Peter, Alexander's career has not been
an easy one. All accounts seem to agree
that this was due, not to any shortcom-
ings in the king, but to the intense rae
ial, religious and political hatreds among
his people, made up of Serbs, Croatians,
Slovenes, Macedonians and other Bal
kan tribes.
lic Niodlidiio III PAL tlSuldI nave DeeU
trouble makers, being Jealous of the
Serbs in the extreme and blaming them
for murder which broke out in the cham
Der of deputies in 1928 when Stefan
Raditch, Croatian leader was among
those shot down. 1t is not unlikely that
the revenge sought for this act found its
satisfaction in yesterdays assassination
of the king.
Efforts to link the assassin with pow
ers outside Jugoslavia have not met sue
cess
There is bitter feeling between Italy
and Jugoslavia = condition which
causes no little anxiety as to the devel-
opments of the next few weeks.
Alexander was an outstanding figure
in European politics, though this fact
was not generally recognized in Ameri-
ca. He it was who sent the plea for
help to the czar in 1914 when Austria
Hungary threatened to invade Serbia
following the assassination of Archduke
Ferdinand, which precipitated the World
war. Alexander's refusal to accept the
Austro-Hungarian proposals started the
actual conflict.
He took an active part in the World
war, personally leading his troops as he
had done in the Balkan war of 1912,
WHen MS country klnen oerDla1, Gfeece
and Bulgaria defeated the Turks He
shared the hardships of his men in the
terrible retreat through Albania follow
ing the invasion by Austria.
Alexander was acknowledged as a real
soldier, brave and reckless, a hard-work-
ing and conscientious ruler who sought
above all to unite the various Slavic
races under one government for their
own good.
The world has lost much of its former
respect for royalty, but Alexander de-
served its respect as man and ruler.
Louis Barthou died a hero carrying
out the injunction Greater love no man
hath than that he lay down his life for
his friend"

Europe and Austria.

Any doubts Europe may have had
about the tragic gravity Of condi-
tionS In Austria have been removed
by the weeks events at Vienna and
in the provinces. Such grim fighting
and casualty lists have not been re-
corded since the World War. The
battles waged between the Austrian
Social Democrats and the Dollfuss
governments nondescript "loyalist"
forces were marked on Monday and
Tuesday by that same sort of fierce
and sanguinary conflict as ordinarily
is carried on by hostile nations when
they fly at each others throats.
Whatever may be said of the Austrian
Socialists and their cause, history will
give them the credit Of having gone
down fighting for it. They did not
supinely succumb when their political
existence was challenged, as their
fellow-Marxists in Italy and Germany
did on successive occasions. The
Vienna government has suppressed It's
Socialist internal foe, but at terrific
cost.
What next? That depends less on
Austria than on Europe. M. Henri
Berenger, former French Ambassador
at Washington, now chairman Of the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee at
Paris, has unoficially proposed armed
protection of Austria's independence
by French, Italian and British troops.

No Distilled Liquor Advertising.

Consistently with its past policy,
adopted and carried out through the
years prior to the adoption of the
eighteenth amendment, The Star has,
since repeal, rejected, and will con-
tinue to reject, all copy offered to it
which advertiSes distilled liquor. With
enactment of liquor control law for
the District, the sale of such liquor
here again becomes legal, and The
Stars rule of exclusion from its COL
urnns Of the advertising of even legal
distilled liquor automatically revives.
Exile under constitutional prohibi-
tion and permission to return under
repeal have not worked any miracu-
lous uplift transformation in the char
scter and influence of alcoholic in
toxicantS. As they were before pro-
hibition and repeal they are now.
Observation and experience teach
that distilled liquor, with its high alco-
holic content, is not nutritious or in
any way health promoting as a bev-
erage, but is q powerful, habit-form-
ing stimulant; in large doses a para
lying narcotic depressant; of value
incidentally If intelligently prescribed,
but poisonous If used to excess, and
dangerously hurtful to body and mind
OF the multitude of susceptibles, if
habitually used even at first in COM
parstive moderation.
Since our American tendency is to
excess In everything, and since the
excessive or habitual use of high
power intoMcantS operates las PreSi-

heres to the view that 1t is for the

onets and foreign sympathies" instead
Of the will Of the Austrian people"
That is Berlins way OF saying the
situation in Vienna can never be
composed until Nazis are in control,
representing, as the Hitlerites anege,
a clear majority of the nation.
The most cursory glance at the
map of Central Europe indicates that
Austria cannot possibly be regarded
as a local issue. 1t Is an international
problem. Its disappearance as a ma
tional entity of its own and its In
corporation within the Nazi Third
Reich will automatically precipitate a
situation that will require action by
the so-called powers" but so far
Chancellor DollfuSs has had to con-
tent himself with platonic assurances
that have not prevented his precari-
Gus lot from drifting steadily from
bad to worse.

would let civil war In Austria smolder
into another international confiagra-
ton, yet at the moment there Is
ominous and omnipreSent reluctance
to move toward averting such q catas-
trophe.
