Key West viii get the New
London submarine base fos seven
or eight months each year in the

Robert Austin, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who re-
turned to Key West from Wash
ington this morning. There is
practically no chance that the
New London base viii be aban-
doned, Mr.. Austin shows. There
is every reason to believe, how
ever. that the navy viii transfer
submarine activities here for at
least two-thirds of the year in the
future, he says. This is also the
opinion of many naval officers
and practically all of the con-
greSSmen and senators with
whom Mr.. Austin talked. Senator
Fletcher showed MIR. Austin cop
les of letters from several voicing
the same idea, and it is believed
that the idea viii be put in eff
feet. In addition to these Mr..
Austin was given the assurance of
Secretary Wilbur, of the navy,

Note Presented by Ambassador Grew to Foreign
Minister Hirotd Points to Numerous Depre-
dations of U. S. Property.

Following is the text of the note
presented to Koki Hirota, japanese
minister of foreign affairs. by United
States Ambassador Joseph c. Grew
on instruction Of Secretary of State
Hull:
Il am instructed by my Govern
ment to bring to your excellency.s at
tention reports and complaints from
American residents that in the course
of recent military operations at Nam
king, Hangchow and other places the
japanese armed forces have repeatedly
entered American property illegally
and removed goods and employees and
committed other acts of depreciation
against American property which has
almost invariably been marked by
American flags and by notices in
English, Chinese and japanese issued
by the American authorities and set
ting forth the American character
of the property concerned.
According to these reports not only
have Japanese soldiers manifested q
complete disregard for these notices,
but they have also in numerous in
stances torn down, burned and other
wise mutilated flags.
Il am directed to impress upon your
excellency the seriousness with which
my Government regards such acts and
TO convey its most emphatic protest
against them.
MY Government finds it impossible
to reconcile the fagrant disregard Of

passed late today, the Speaker said
Monday would be devoted to its fur
ther consideration. The House will
not be in session tomorrow.
Work Pushed on Tax Bill.
Although the appropriation bill in
its present form will keep the antici-
pated budget deficit in the coming
fiscal year to slightly less than $2.-
o00, 900, the Fiscal Affairs Subcom-
mittee of the District Committee spent
most of the day yesterday perfecting
a revenue bill that would raise be-
tween $4,000, 900 and $10,000.000. At
tention centered chiefly on techni-
calities surrounding the subcommit-
tees plan to create q new board Of
review to hear appeals from tax
cases to replace the present. Board Of
Equalization and Review. The new
board would be composed Of three
members, composed of q lawyer, en-
gineer and specialist on assessments.
The present board IS made up Of
eight District officials.
The subcommittee will meet again
Monday at 10 am. and attempt to
complete its work on the tax pro-
gram. The only important problem
now confronting the subcommittee is
to determine the rate of the proposed
income tax, which it proposes to make
one os the major eiements in the
three point tax-raising program.

Small Claims Measure Is Advo-

The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations and the Columbus University
School Of Law today Endorsed a bill
designed to establish small claims
branch in Municipal Court during a
hearing on the measure before the
Judiciary Subcommittee Of the House
District Committee.
The small claims court. DR.. John
Fitzpatrick. dean OF Columbus Law,
informed the subcommittee. would aid
poor people who lack not only the
financial resources, but also the edu-
cational background and experience
which enables the average person to
protect his own interests unaided and
unassisted by others"
Representative Sacks. Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, member Of the sub
committee, described the bill as pro-
gressive legislation"
Opponents of the measure have ar
gued that a small claims court is not
necessary, since members Of the bar
give assistance to poor persons.
Representative Dirksen. Republican,
Of Illinois, another member of the
subcommittee, answered these argu-
ments with the following statement:
Nobody works for nothing. They
are always looking for little profit. q
little advancement. I would gather
from the number of poor people

that the people don't get an awful
lot of assistance"

In view of the fact that a number
Of these acts are reported as having

inasmuch as this disregard Of Amer

constrained to observe that the steps
which the japanese government have
so far taken seem inadequate to insure
that hereafter American nationals, in

not be subjected to attack by japanese
