Clarifies Tax
 Convention Of US. and Canada

TACOMA-CommiSSioner of In ternal Revenue Guy T. Helvering explained the effect of the release of the United States from the ob- legations of the reciprocal Tax Convention between the United States and Canada, notice of which was recently announced by State Department.
 Under the Convention, which became effective January l, 1886, the higher rates of income tax otherwise applicable under the laws of the United States to in terest, dividends, rents, royalties and similar income derived from United States sources by non- resident aliens were reduced to 5 percent in the case of individ- ual reident of Canada. Likewise, the higher rates applicable to div idends So derived by non-resi- dent foreign corporation were re duced to percent in the case of Canadian corporations. The Con- vention by its terms, was to con tinue so long as neither country increased the rates of tax on such income in excess of percent.
 Effective April 30, l94l. Can ada raised to IS percent its rates of income tax upon income deriv ed from Canadian sources by non-residents of Canada, includ- ing United States citizens and United States corporations. The budget message to the Canadian Parliament explained that this action by Canada would release the United States from it's obliga- tions under the Convention.
 Mir. Helvering pointed out that as a result of this action, the in come described in the foregoing, derived by Canadian residents and by Canadian corporations, is subject to withholding at the rat es applicable generally to non- resident aliens and to non-resi- dent foreign corporations, name ly, l6l2 percent.
 There are in course of prepara tion Treasury decisions amend ing existing Federal income tax regulations in this regard, includ ing notification to withholding agents of the necessity of apply ing to Canadians and Canadian corporations the rates of with holding applicable generally to nonresident aliens and foreign corporations.

Appeal Board

The regulations promulgated by the President also provides for an Appeal Board for the Terri tory of Alaska. This Board will consist of five members who will sit in a capacity similar to that of Court of Appeal The Ap- peal Board will have no original jurisdiction but will review those cases properly certified for appeal The regulations state in part that ''The registrant, any person who claims to be a dependent of the registraHt, a government Appeal Agent, the Director of Selective Service, or the State Director of Selective Service may appeal to the Board of Appeal from any Local Board classification, except that no appeal may be made by or on behalf of registrant class fled in Class II or Class III who claims a lower classification.
 In exceptional cases a further appeal may be made to the Presi dent. Thus it is evident that ample precautions have been talk en to insure the fair and impar- tial classification of all regis trants.

Appeal Agent

Tn addition to the Board mem bers, there will be a government Appeal Agent appointed for each board area. The Appeal Agent has no authority to change the classification of a registrant, but can examine the records and ap- peal amy case in which the in- terests of the individual or the government have not, in his judgement, been protected.
 The Local Boards will not only classify those who have re- gistered but will conduct such flu ture registrations as may be re- quired. The registration boards organized for the original regis tration of January g, 194l, will no longer function.

Formal organization of the Sel ective Service System for the Territory of Alaska is announced by Gov. Ernest Gruening, who accompanied the list of Local Boards with this statement:
 ''The Selective Training & Ser vice of l940 provides a thorough ly just, orderly and democratic method of determining the place where each registrant may best serve the Nation. Some will be qualified to serve in the armed forces. Many more will be needed in their present occupations or will have persons dependent up on them for support which will make their deferment necessary.
 ''The classification and selec- tion of those who have registered under the Act will be done by 24 Local Boards throughout the Territory. Each board will con- sist of from three to five repre- sentative citizens from various walks of life who are familiar with conditions within the local ity where they will serve. These men have been appointed by the President, upon the recommenda- ton of the Governor.

minder that "there is much to be

of saluting guns as Admiral Hus-
band Edward Kimmel became COM
mander in chief today of the United
States three-ocean Navy.
The assertion came from Admiral
James O. Richardson who relin-
quished command of the worlds
mightiest feet to his 58-year-old
friend in the midst Of crucial
period in American history
"All of you," Admiral Richardson
told the officers and men of the
fleet, "can take pride in the work
accomplished under trying condi-
tions. The path ahead is not easy.
There is much TO be done"
Admiral Kimmel echoed the same
solemn note with confidence that
the Navy would be ready for any
thing.

"The days ahead will be busy

so direct our efforts that we shall
be fully prepared to accomplish any
task which may be assigned to US

The North Dakota Senator replied
he thought the axis nations would
be too occupied with. rehabilitation,
combating disease and watching
subdued populations to undertake
an attack on this hemisphere.
You and are not experts, Sena-
tor" said Mr.. Knox, but there is
a chance these dictators may not be
satisfied with what they win over
there and 1 don't want to take that
chance"
Senator Nye contended the United
States would be in stronger posi-
ton by concentrating on increasing
its own defenses, but the Secretary
said he could not agree.
To answer the opposition claim
that If the axis powers have not
been able to cross the English Chan
mel, 20 miles, they could not cross an
ocean to attack this hemisphere,
Senator Barkley brought out by
questions that Great Britain has the
Channel coast heavily defended.
That situation, he said, is quite
different" from keeping an invader
from landing along 1000 miles Of
Western Hemisphere coast line, only
portions of which are fortified.
The Committee to Defend Amer
lea by Aiding the Allies said in a
statement last night that the ma

man Ernest w. Gibson and Clark

I'VE believe that not only will the
effect of this bill keep us out of war,
but that without its passage and
without speedy and effective aid to

it was highly improper" for them

The committee also made public

Indefinite Extension Given
On Plant Amortization

b the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt signed legis-
lation yesterday giving defense
contractors an indefinite extension
of time in which to take advantage
of the privilege of amortizing the
cost of plant expansions for defense
purposes from their excess profits.
Under previous law, the Defense
Commission and either the Secretary
of War or Navy were required to
certify before February 6 that such
plant expansions were vital to the
national defense in order that a
contractor might deduct from his
excess profits one-fifth of the cost
of the expansion each year.
Approach of the February dead
line found the Government agen-
cies faced with a rush of applica-
tions which made adequate ex-
animation difficult. officials said
that other applications were ex-
pected.
Under the new law, contractors
would be permitted to apply for GER
tifcation of their projects within so
days after the start of construction
or after acquisition of new ia
cilities.

of the world.
Does this bill constitute an
underwriting of the British WARP"
asked Senator Nye.
'Not this BILL" the Secretary
| answered, "but I think we have a
vital interest in seeing that Britain
is not defeated"
Later Senator Connally suggested
! that 'if we can get our safety and
security" in return for the aid ex-
tended now, that's pretty good re-
payment, is 1t not?" and Mr.. Knox
replied, "I think So"
Query on Ocean Protection.
as an ocean any protection to a
continental power unless we control
that ocean?" Senator Connally con-
| tinued.
"On the contrary, 1t would be a
good avenue of attack" said the Sec
retary, bearing out the testimony of
other witnesses that this country has
been safe in the past with a one
ocean Navy because the British feet
protected the Atlantic side.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
developed through a series of ques-
tions that it would be easier for the
axis powers to reach the nearest
points in South America from the
African coast than it was for Ad-
miral Dewey to take the American
Navy to Manila and succeed in the
! Spanish american War The ques-
tions were based on the presumption
that if Germany defeats Great Brit
ain, the axis powers would be in
control in Africa.
Under questioning by Senator
johnson, Republican, of California
about the status of Russia in this
country's foreign policy, Mr.. Knox
said all the information he pos
sesses is to the effect Russia is not

What are you going to give Eng
land first under this bill?" inquired
the Californian.
Question of Credit.
When Mr.. Knox said airpIanes and
ammunition were the most impor-
tant. Senator Johnson wanted to
know what need there is for the
lease-lend bill if a large part of our
plane output is going to England
now.
Mr.. Knox explained the bill is es-
sential because England is now pay
ing cash, but will be out of dollar
exchange when present orders are
paid for.
Secretary Knox said he thought
1t unwise to give figures in open
session on the number of planes
going to Britain, or the present
speed of factory output in this
country. He said he did not want
this information to reach unfriend-
ly powers, and committe members
did not press him.
After Mr.. Knox had outlined the
superior shipbuilding capacity and
combined naval strength the axis
would possess if it subdued Great
Britain, Senator Nye asked:
DO you really think there is seri-
Gus danger of a combination of
European powers attacking us?"
