your troops" (Merry- Go-Round 1O-28-43J
 Apparently Churchill did not know that on one occasion when King George reviewed Greek troops in exile, they had to be disarmed by the British for fear they would shoot him.
 This is only a small part of the long. tragic story of how the United States let Britain write their own ticket in Greece and how the Bri- tish. in turn, turned one of our most gallant allies into a strife ridden, occupied nation which has suffered almost more since the war than during the German occupa- tion
 And these are some of the facts which Congress and the State De- partment should consider most carefully before we sign any more blank checks for the British to spend in Greece.

special session at his colleagues should they fail to hang this tax burden around the necks of the people He would have you believe that you have demanded and need this tax program
 One radio commentator. who also corresponds for several newspapers actually implies that all over Alaska the people praying that the Legislature will see fit to smack them between the eyes wl the biggest tax load eyer proposed
 Just four short years ago the Territory was getting along ably program which brought in from all sources less than five million dollars The budget then for the two years 1943-45 only S4,40446l. Just two years ago the budget was than six million dollars. and the Territory had a surplus in the Treasury.
 Today we are told that We need S11254,229 in taxes for the next two years. What will it be two years from now? It will be s20o0o00O unless the people see fit to check this advance now
 You can always find ways in which to spend the taxpayers money, many of them even inviting to the taxpayer, inviting to the non-taXpayer and politician. But the taxpayer has been digging deep into his pocket for some time now How much has he left? Ask yourself MT. and Mrs. Wage Farmer? How much more can you afford to pay? And unless the answer is all they want" you'd better start doing something about it before it is too late
 Let the Legislature know if you actually pray ing" that this tax program be adopted
 Did the Representative CT Senator who was elected from your community campaign on plank that would load you down with more taxes? Was that the way Senator Rivers found out that you wanted and needed these new taxes? Did any candidate say Vote for me and I will give you an income tax, and not only that complete program that will take S43OOOOO out of your pockets in only two years
 Put this question to a referendum vote and see how far you'll get!

ceipts for huge amounts of gold sovereigns paid to Greek right wing, Royalist leaders. Significant ly the receipts were dated between Oct. 9 and Nov 9, the latter date being four days before the Greek Civil War broke. The receipts clearly showed that the gold sov- ereigns had been distributed to Royalist leaders to start the armed action for the King of Greece which brought much bloodshed to Athens. This was the excuse for sending in British troops. They have been there ever since.
 Thus. using Roosevelts blanket permission to Churchill to handle things political in the Mediterran- can, and using the protection of UNRRA and the American flag, a British Army officer had planted the first seeds of Greek turmoil

WILL AGAIN TRY
 10 DOMEST!CATE
 WILD MUSK OXEN

WASHINGTON, March 7.-IR- The experimental station of AL aska University is going to try again to domesticate musk oxen
 Warner Gardner, assistant Sec retary of the Interior, told Delegate Bartlett tD-Alaska) that if the unruly animals can be domesticat- cd Aalaska may have in musk oxen a source of both meat and wool.
 Gardner said a complete census of the musk oxen on Nunivak Island will be taken this spring and the Department plans to fur nish the University's experimental station with two bull and four COW calves,
 The earlier experimental work with the muck oxen in Alaska, Gardner said, did not continue long enough to produce conclu- sive data concerning their adapt ability to domestication.
 The slowness of reproduction ot the animals and their unruly na- ture are known factors which pre- vent our being optimistic about rapidly converting the musk OK into a commercial animal"
 The census of the animals on Nunivak Island will bo taken by the Fish and Wildlife Service.

THE PEOPLE PAY

Proposed in the Territorial Senate by Senators Victor Rivers and Norman Walker are three tax bills designed to raise during the next two years total of S4 3O0O00-a net income tax on individuals ana corporations gross income tax on corporations and a general property tax.
 Such program, if adopted, would make Alaska cne of the most unnvith1g under the American flag; not only the much sought after capitalist who might bring industry to Alaska, but also to the wage earner who would be employed
 We are spending 75 cents per person per year sl20000 per biennium-to finance an Alaska Develop ment Board for the avowed purpose of enticing new industrial development to the Territory. And now We suggest tax program which would discourage such de- velopment more than any other thing Already is known that last year large turned thumbs down on proposed pulp project because of the threat of high taxes" That threat has now developed
 With one hand beckon to the capitalist descrb- ing the advantages of investing in Alaska With the other hand We slam the door in his face.
 While it is very true that most of these proposed taxes would ostensiby be collected from the business man it is also true that he in turn, would collect the tax from the wage earner and breadwinner in the form higher prices for his product These proposed taxes could be easily passed along, and when that is the case, they always passed along until Tn the end the common pays the bill
 Much effort is being put forth by the proponents of these tax measures to "sell' the program to the public by attempting to make the people actually believe that they have demanded these new taxes We suggest that you beware of that smiling individual who may hand you telegram all written out fer you and suggest you send it to your Senator or Rep resentative Much of this will be going

NO MONEY SAVED

Two years ago when the Territorial Legislature saw fit to take from the office of the Territorial Treasurer the duties of collecting Territorial taxes It established a separate Department of Taxation At the time the proponents of the bill argued that one of the advantages would be that the Territory would save money
 Included in the bill establishing the Department of Taxation was an appropriation of SO00OO, larger than would have been the in order that the Tax Commissioner would have sufficient funds to meet the added expense of establishing office buying office equpmnt, tyepwrters, machines. etc.
 However Tax Commissioner (unconfirmed) Null lanev now asks the Legislature to give him S20OOo0 even after the expense of establishing the office has been taken care of and if two proposed tax bills pass this session he would have almost $400OOo for hls office making it one of the largest of Territorial departments.
 It should be noted that Treasurer Oscar Olson never asked for more than $683O0 to his office as well as collect the taxes when such duties remained Tn that office Actually the Legislatures previous never appropriated more than $2OoOO for tax collection, alone.
 Evidently these who argued that the Tax Com mission would soon expand into just another burden some bureau knew what they were talking about because the Treasurers tax collection was much less eXpensive

ATHENs-"A CONQUERED CITY

These seeds of turmoil sprouted until U. s. tanks. loaned to the British, were riding through the streets of Athens, moving down civilians. At that time U. s.

Scobie perhaps the most amazing c@ders ever sent re- garding Q nation which fought with us as an ally.
 Do not hesitate Churchill Wir ed ScoFie, to act as if you were in a conquered city With the fore es under your command you should be able to hand ELIAS tthe anti RoyaliStSl a lesson You should not hesitate to open fire on any armed male in the Greek Capital who assails the authority of the British or of the Greeks who are collaborating with the British. Keep and dominate Athens. tMer- ry-Go-R Round l2-12-44o
 Secretary of State Stettinius was So stunned by this brutal message that he issued a public statement diyOrcing the United States from British meddling in Greece-just the reverse of what President Tru- man is doing today.

REMEDYING SPLIT MILK

There is no use in crying over split milk, unless you can save spill ing more in the future However, the whole tragedy Of Greece, plus warnings of what was to come, was spelled cut during the war in this column. And if we are going to svoid future mistakes we should review carefully these we made in the past
 The Greeks tragedy began at Cas- ablanea There, Roosevelt made the off-hand but vital mistake of agreeing to Winston Churchill's idea that the Mediterranean was a British sphere of influence and that Britain should handle all poli tical matters there Roosevelt'S ad vsers now explain he did not real ize how far Churchill planned to go. Be that as it may however, from that time on, U. s. messages to U. s. personnel ill Greece had to be sent through British codes U s. personnel could travel only in Bri- tish airplanes, no U. s, orders in Greece could be given without British OK. and even American cit izens working Tor UNRRA in Greece had to wear British uniforms tMerry- Round l2-ll-44J
 And taking advantage of the American flag and American pres tige, some very peculiar political moves were pulled by the British. One of them turned up only after a British UNRRA worker, L. F R Shepherd, was killed T. was then discovered that although called Mister" Shepherd and travelling in an American jeep under the pro lection of an American flag, actu- ally he was a colonel of British Army Intelligence

 Churchill, however, would not fol- low his experts advice. When King George of Greece wired asking whether he should submit to a plebiscite, as demanded by the Greek -Royalists, Churchill re- piled with a floIery telegram, in- structing the King: Ride for ward into battle at the head of

part of the bill for the British and President Truman's new move looks like just another way of continu- ing the same.
 The present trouble in Greece really dates back to the fact that the United States, for four disas- trous years, has given the British a free hand and a blank check in Greece. While we supplied the lend lease. the tanks. the food and the UNRRA supplies. the British proceeded to use all these to their own end. We had absolutely no control And that is how Greece drifted into its present tragic mess.
