Line IS Of form I040 calls for
certain specific losses which are de-
ductible. In general losses you In
cur are deductible only under GER
tain limited circumstances. To be
deductible, you must not have been
compensated for the loss by insur-
ance or otherwise.
In general you may NOT deduct
losses incurred on transactions
which you did NOT enter into for
profit. Loss on the sale Of the house
you bought for o residence may not
be deducted, because purchase Of Q
house to live In Is not considered to
be o transaction entered into for
profit.
This rule docs not hold, how
ever, II losses arise through fire,
storm, shipwreck, other casualty
or theft. Although you could not
deduct any loss you take on the
sale Of your own home, you could
deduct the loss II your house
burned down and you were I'M
able to recover any insurance.
You may deduct losses incurred IN
an auto accident II the accident did
not result from the wilful act or
negligence on your part.
TAKE OFF BAD DEBTS
Line is Of form l040 permits
deductions for bad debts. II, for
example, you loaned to an ind"
vidual and during 1912 1t devsl.
oped' that he was unable to repay
vour loan. the amount Of the loan
Is deductible.
Line II concerns other deduc-
lions authorized by law. Among
these are alimony or separate
maintenance paid by q man to
woman for whom he Is living sep
arately-but only II the separation
Is by divorce or other court decree.
Money spent In connection with
the production Of income Is deduct
ible. For instance II you own a safe
deposit box to protect stock which
you hold for income from dividends,
you may deduct Its cost. Likewise
you may deduct costs Of investment

duct the cost Of medical care In ex-
cess Of 5 per cent Of your net in

deduction. Maximum deductions al
lowed, however, are $500 for hus-
band and wife who file point re-
turn, and $3.50 for an individual.
Hsad of family Explained in later
article) is allowed $500.
Medical care" includes amounts
paid for health and accident In
surance, doctors, dentist, nurse,
hospital bills, cost Of drugs, labora-
tory expenses, etc. Remember, how
ever, that If your medical care ex-
penses do not exceed 5 per cent OF
your net income, you may not de-
duct anything at all for them. You

"A united Slovenia, as part of
a new, democratic and federal
lied Jugoslavia and as member
of the central European feder-
alton, would become an effec-
tive bulwark against German
and Italian aggression Mr..
Grill continued.
"In order to offer any hope
of permanence, the next peace
must be organized on a world
scale. The interests of tiny Slo-
venia in this respect are identi-
cal with those of the mightiest
nation. On the other hand,
small as Slovenia may be, her
national interests should not be
trampled upon if we want a
lasting peace in Europe.
"When we talk about a united
Slovenia we refer not only to
the territory known before this
World War as Slovenia but also
to the coastland provinces of
Slovenia which were given to
Italy after the first World War
as reward for Italy's participa-
ton in that war on the side Of
the Allies.

tragic and if the coming peace
does not remedy the situation
of the Slovenes and other small
groups there cannot be lasting
peace.
"Not only are Hitler's de
population experts working on
the Slovenes full blast but the
ironic fact is that such expo
nents of Italian liberalism
abroad as Count Carlo Sforza
and Luigi Sturzo blandly assert
that practically one-third of
Slovenia must remain perma-
nently under Italy because of
the latter's need for STRATEGY
cal frontiers.'
"The position of the Slovenes
is further aggravated by the
clash of opposing guerrilla
forces in Jugoslavia which is
the result of the distrust of
the common people in the OPP
portunist politicians who con-
stitute the JugOslav govern
ment-in-exile.
"Jugoslavia's future would be
better assured if the new coun-
try were a federal union OF
Serbs, Croatians and Slovenes.
Generally speaking the Slo-
venes. do not feel the need for
another monarchy, once they
discarded the old Austrian dy-
nasty.
"Jugoslavia should grant
equal and democratic rights to
all her peoples and the federal
union should belong to the Gen.
trail European Federation. A
United States of Europe is not
a feasible solution because there
is still too much hatred between
the various nations. Regional
declarations would be good be-
ginnings toward a Uni ted
States of Europe.
Trieste "Dying City"
"The city of Trieste under
Italian rule is a dying city, for
it has no adequate 'hinterland.'
If Trieste belonged to a coun-
try in the Central European
Federation, say Slovenia, the
