BELGRADE Bows to Berlin

The baroque old Belvedere palace
in Vienna has become sort of
recruiting station where more or
less unwilling conscripts join the
axis. Yet never has a grimmer tragi-
comedy been enacted there than
when German Foreign Minister Won
Ribbentrop received YugoSlavia'S S
Premier and Foreign Secretary,
graciously acceding to their "re-
quest" for axis membership. Those
governmental heads had slipped out
of Belgrade on a special train the
night before, departing from sub
urban station. their ears still ringing
with the shouts of protesting crowds
and their hearts doubtless chilled by
threats of assassination from hot
blooded fellow countrymen.
However, they signed. Yugoslavia
is now a member of the axis. The
document itself is the stock form
used by the other Balkan states But
the new member has received
pledges that her territorial integ-
rity will be respected and that no
axis troops will cross her frontiers.
Yet Yugoslavia is understood to have
promised to tie her economic life still
more closely to the axis, and to per-
nit the transport of hospital and
military supplies over her railways
Except in official circles, Yugoslav
public opinion regards these SEEM
ingly minor clauses as the thin end
of the wedge which will lead to
eventual axis domination. The whole
country is in an uproar, especially in
Serbia, the citadel of patriotic devo-
ton. But something more than pa
triotic demonstrations or even spo-
radio peasant revoltS will be needed
| if the ominous step taken at Vienna
| is to be undone. Nothing less than
coup detat by the army and the
establishment of a military govern
ment pledged to defy the axis and
join the Anglo-Greek alliance will
suffice. And it would have to be
done quickly. The time for half
measures has passed.
In the volcanic state of Yugoslav
public opinion, a mass eruption of
popular emotion may bring this to
pass Yet the chances seem against
it. Prince Paul and his ministers
have already taken measures to
maintain order and suppress disaf-
fection. Both London and Athens
cannot conceal their chagrin. Their
last-moment diplomatic appeals and
warnings to the Yugoslav govern
ment were virtual confessions of i'm
pending failure. Diplomats do not
publish such statements unless they
hold poor hands. Those appeals
were really addressed to the Yugo-
slav people over the heads of their
own government. Repeatedly, large
Greek and British forces are moving
up to the Yugoslav border above
Salonika, ready either to support a
military coup or to parry some sud-
den German thrust down the Vardar
Valley. The next few days will pre-
sumably be decisive ones for Yugo-
slavia's future attitude.
incidentally, our own Government
plainly regards Yugoslavia as having
gone over to the axis This is def
nitely shown by the Presidents order
freezing all funds of that country in
the United States. The sum is not
large, aggregating less than s1000,-
000 But the meaning of the order
is clear.

Groziuni Quits

Another member of Mussolini's
high command has faded from the
front ranks of Fascisms erstwhile
army of conquest. Marshal Rodolfo
Graziani, who led Italian troops to
victory in Ethiopia in the cam
paign of 1885 and whose visions of
further military glory in the present
African conflict were shattered by
General Sir Archibald Wavells
Army of the Nile, has been succeeded
by General Italo Gariboldi, chief of
Graziani's staff in Libya. The
veteran desert warrior has gone the
way of Marshal Pietro Badoglio,
former chief of the Italian general
staff, and of General Visconti Prasca,
former chief of Fascist forces in
Albania, both of whom were replaced
following the disastrous reverses
suffered by the Italian expedition to
Greece.

Another Tox-Exempt Area

There is printed on this page today
the text of a Court of Appeals de-
ciSion in one of the two test cases
brought by the District to determine
tax liability, under the local income
tax law, of person claiming "domi-
cile" outside the District. The tax
payer in question came here twenty
seven years ago, married acquired a
home, planned for the enjoyment Of
his approaching retirement near
Washington, on the Bay. But be-
cause he now intends to return to
his native home in Pennsylvania
after reaching retirement age; be-
cause his room with his childhood
toys has been kept intact at the
PENNSYLVANIA homestead and because
he has continued to vote in PennSyl-
vania he is not, under the statute,
domiciled in the District and there
fore is exempt from payment Of the
local income tax.
The anomalies in this case are OBJ
vious and if this taxpayer is exempt,
there are uncounted thousands Of
others, in and out Of the Federal
service, with much stronger claims
also exempt. Congress, for political
reasons, intended to exempt such
persons from the local tax and the
courts opinion merely establishes
- f,,r y
dispute. But there can be no strong
er condemnation of an inequitable,
unworkable and viciously diScrim-
inatory law than is contained in the
implications of the coldly precise
opinion of the Court of Appeals.
The decision has an even broader
bearing on the status of District tax
payers than in its immediate appli-
cation to the local income tax No
city in the United States has as large
a proportion of non-taXpayers who
are counted on the census rolls but
are left off the tax collectors roll, as
Washington. And this directly affects
the comparison of WaShington'S
much discussed tax burden with the
tax burdens of other cities.
The usual method of comparing
tax burdens of cities is, in its essen
tials, to divide total taxes paid by
the population, expressing the quo
tient in per capita tax burden. The
dividend remaining the same, the
larger the diviSOr (pOpulation), the
lower the quotient. When Washing
tons taxes are divided by the popu-
lation, the per capita tax burden thus
indicated compares favorably with
that of other cities of approximately
the same population. But as the
population of no other city contains
such large proportion of non-taX-
payers as in Washington, the actual
per capita tax burden for Washing
ton is higher than would be indicated
by the comparison.
Congress has deliberately cut from
the tax lists a substantial portion of
the city'S potential taxpayers. The
Court OF Appeals, IN the sweeney
case. placed extraordinary emphasis
on the fact that Federal duty re-
ouires residential presence in the
District, upon the part of all who
must come and remain here to do
the work of the Government" thus
facilitating, in the eyes of the law,
proof of legal domicile elsewhere.
Thus, as emphasized in this court
opinion, there is added to the rapidly
growing area of Federal, tax exempt
property in the District, the rapidly
growing element of the Districts
population, for which all municipal
services must be furnished but which,
under the statutes and their inter
pretation, Is also taX-eXempt.

Tells Why Praise of Unions
Is Resented by Unwilling Member.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your correspondent, J. F.. makes the
statement that the Socialist Labor party
has the only solution to all the ills that
beset the human race today" and gives
high praise to labor unions.
am a member of a labor organization
of national scope-not from choice but
from necessity, for If I had not joined
it this altruistic union would have taken
away my livelihood.
After witnessing some of the practices
of the labor unions-closed books to all
newcomers till they choose to open them;
graft of $500 to $500 to union officials
for the privilege of joining; the hiring
of pickets who have no connection with
a business to shout denunciations of the
management and would-be patrons; the
closing of one restaurant of many years
standing by abuse and persecution: the
use of stink bombs" in another, result
ing in losses of $4,000 and s125 900 to
their owners and no jobs for the men,
etc, take issue with your correspond
ent's modest claim.
An employe of a restaurant chain told
me his group was forced by their union
to picket the restaurant of a non-union
chain even though the non-union chain
was paying its employees higher salaries
than they were getting. 1t was pretty
cold weather and nobody felt much like
picketing, but the champions of the
workingman were adamant. MF.
Discusses Senator Wheeler's Inability"
To Grasp the Significance" of Events.
To the Editor of The Star:
Senator Wheeler is so naive and literal
In his idea of American security. He will
not believe that it is threatened until
German fleet is drawn up in battle array
ready to attack New York, or a Jap
anese fleet is assembled off San Fran
cisco or the sky over the Capital is black
with bombers. Then he might feel we
were in danger.
But any larger conception is beyond
him. He cannot or will not understand
that aggressor nations can nibble at or
whittle away our security bit by bit.
Starting with Japan in Manchuria then
Italy in Ethiopia and finally with Ger
many in the Rhineland and we have a
purposeiul campaign underway to scuttle
the basis OF world peace. The campaign
has been very successful and can be
stopped only by force.
When Senator Wheeler thinks that
we might send American ships to rein
force the British at Singapore, he COM
plains that American boys should not
be called upon to fight and die for the
British Empire" He shows by this re-
mark his inability to grasp the sig
nificancs of anything that has happened
in the world since 1881 and that some
time we must draw line to the nibblings
and whittlings against our security. He
fails to see that should we send ships
to Singapore, our object would be to
preserve our own security and not the
British Empire. JOHN YANKUS.
