BY JOHN C. HENRY.

President Roosevelt transmitted to
Congress today the formal text of
an agreement by which this Gov
ernment in the cause of Western
Hemisphere defense will develop
naval and air bases at seven British
owned Atlantic and Caribbean out
posts.
The seven involved are located in
Newfoundland, Bermuda, Jamaica,
st. Lucia, Trinidad, Antique and
British Guinea. An eighth base is
planned in the Bahamas, but delay
in reaching a final decision on exact
location precluded its coverage in
the present agreement.
The international contract was
signed today in London by repre-
Sentatives of both governments, in
cluding Prime Minister Churchill of
Great Britain and John G. Winant,
American Ambassador to Britain.
The agreements, which do not re-
quire congressional approval, were
submitted for the information of the
Senate and House.
Nalue Emphasized.
In his brief message to Congress,
the President informed the legis-
lators that these bases are for
American defense against attack
and their construction is consistent
with such defense.
international developments since
my message to the Congress of Sep
tember 3 last have emphasized the
value to the Western Hemisphere of
these outposts of security"
Funds for development of the
bases, to be held under 99-year
leases, already have been made
available by Congress. 1t is under
stood that actual construction work
Is now under way at the Newfound-
land and Bermuda sites, with ad-
vanced surveys in process at the
other locations.
First official word of this gigantic
defense project was issued on Sep
tember 3, when the President in
formed Congress that the lease
rights were being extended this Gov
ernment and that under his execu-
tive powers he was taking advantage
"of the present opportunity to ac-
quire them"
Outright Gift of Two Bases.
The right to the bases In New
foundland and Bermuda, he ex-
planned at that time, was an outright
gift from the British government,
generously given and gladly re-
ceived." The other base rights, he
added, were being acquired in ex-
change for so American overage
destroyers-since delivered into Brit
ish service.
Tentative choice of Bahama
site already has been made, it was
explained, but has not yet been
finally approved.
Accompanying today's agreement
was a protocol recognizing special
circumstances in connection with
the Newfoundland base.
Noting that Newfoundland figures
in the entire Canadian scheme of
defense, the protocol specifies that
the agreement for development of
that base shall at all times take
into account recommendations of
the Permanent Joint Board on De-

Employers To File Returns
 Before Feb. l5

The new and important pro visions of the Revenue Act o1 1940 are now in effect! The Ma tional Defense Program made n, cessary the enactment of more and broader taxes. Effective fol the taxable years beginning af- ter Decemper 31, 1889, EVERY EMPLOYER is required to file an information return, Form 1099 and report all payments of $500 or mon paid to unmarried per sons. and $2,000 or more paid tc married persons. In al cases where the marital status of an employee is unknown to you, he or she should be reported as SINGLE.
 Information returns, Form 1909 and transmittal Form 1096, should be prepared and forward ed to the Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue, Returns Distribu- tion Section, Washington, D. C., on or before February 15, 194l
 A copy of the information re- turn as filed with the Gov.rn- ment should be furnished the en ployee whose income is reported to assist him in preparing his in- come tax return. A mimeograph- ed copy of Form 1896 and one Form 1899 are enclosed. A suffic- tent quantity to satisfy your needs will be mailed upon re- quest addressed to Tacoma office of Internal Revenue.
 The first Revenue Act of 1940 provides, among other things that effective with returns for the calendar year 1940, the per sonal exemption for income tax purposes in the case of single D rsons shall be $500 instead of $1,000 as heretofore, and in the case of married persons, living tog:ther, $2,000 instead of $2,50O as heretofore. The Act further provides the THE GROSS and NOT the NET INCOME shall be the determining factor with res pect TO THE LIABILITY FOR THE FILING of income tax re- returns.

800 Mile Speeds Predicted

Imagine travelling in perfect comfort at 500 miles per hour: Such speeds are predicted by en- gineers to be attained by aircraft within the nsxt three or four years. This would mean, for ex- amp'e, that the distance between Buenos Aires and Rio de Janiero could be covered in less than three hours. One feature of all air travel, not realized by those who have not yet flown, is that the passengers themselves have no sense or feeling of the speed at which his airliner travels be- cause the air inside of the plane travels with the passenger. The same it even true on the ground, everywhere on the earth, because as the earth rotateS on it's axis each point on the surface travels more than LOGO miles per hour. This is not felt because the at- mosphere of the earth travels with it. The speed at which an airliner travels has no effect on the comfort of the passengers jn- side.

Practically speaking, and as something which cannot be laid aside to await a more convenient season, the question of aid for England looms large, and per haps occupies first place. Along that line, the attitude of the President is known. Moreover, it seems that th2re will be small occasion for wasting time in fix ing policy that will meet White House approval and at the same time pass muster back home. Straw votes, editorial comment, and the talk of the street com bine to indicate that the Presi- dents remarks were well receiv ed. It seems to be the consensus of opinion tht what he said was about all that could have been said properly under the circum- stances.

Armstrong
 At End Of Fight g Trail
Miracle Man of Boxing Stopped
 In Twelve Rounds By FritZie Zivic

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 - The miracle man of boxing, little Hen ry Armstrong, came to the end of the road last night. The spirit and heart of the greatest little fighting man in this generation was willing but the machine had run down. He was stopped in 12 rounds by Fritzi Zivic as he made one last gallant try to win back the world we,terWeight championship.
 He stopped with both eyes cut and half blind from slashing left jabs and ripping right uppercuts, but was still boring in trying to land one last desperate punch which might produce another of his fiStic miracles.
 The greatest crowd in the his tory of Madison Square Garden witnessed the battle; more than 23,000 paid more than $78,00O. Armstrong weighed l4012 pounds and Zivic 145a4.
 After the fight, Armstrong an- nounced his permanent retire ment from the ring. He said his eyes would hold up no longer.

Current Comments Written From
 Washington

On the third of January, after a record existence of 367 days the seventy-sixth Congress died a natural death without many of the incidents that usually attend such a demise, the Senate DOT tion of the legislative body being the last to show signs of life. The seventy-ssventh session will have cares and responsibilities of it's own and that they will be of a peculiarly trying nature, is a mat ter of general expectation.

There is, then no worthwhile probability that the Presidents clearly stated views will give rise to partisan opposition and certainly none so far as broad principles are conc rned. Be that as 1t may, if the President keeps within reasonable bounds. he can count on safe supporting major ties in both branches of Congress. It does not appear that the large authority already vested in the Chief Executive will be curtail- ed. It may be enlarged. Therein lies one of the most subtle and far reaching problems that the new ssion will have to face. While much may have to be con ceded, along the line of according new privileges to the White House, the system of checks and balances cannot be entirely for gotten no matter how great the press of necessity may appear to be.

should be discarded and that money saved. And so on down the line. The Territory of Alaska cannot afford to run a pie wagon in times like these.

without friction is an impossibil- ity. Legislation which will enable the settling of labor disputes, without interfering with produc tion, no doubt will be necessary. In framing such laws, the effect on the vote will have to be left out of consideration entirely, the common good alone being re- garded If Congress is to measure up to so high a standard as that in the amending of old laws and in the making of new ones, the task before during the next year or two is of no mean order.

If it be admitted that help for England in larger measure is something that should be taken for granted, it is quite as true that national defense must not be permitted to languish. The ap- portioning of resources between the nee ssities of the homeland and those of the harassed beyond the water, will ca for legislative consideration and action of the highest order. The Scriptura has something to say about the bad policy which consists in messing with warfar, without first count ing the cost. The Congressional wisemen of finance will have business to occupy their atten- ton.
The Nome nugget., 1941-01-24

Another cloud likely to darken the Congressional sky of z ase and comfort is possible demand for imitation, and the suggestion that the dollar be devalued. Against this, the protest and warning of the Federal Reserve System is of r-cord, that organization finding ground for apprehension in the extent of the defense plans, which call for expenditures whereof a billion is the unit. It IS reported that the President, although alleging the necessity for wider prerogatives in many directions, is by no means antag onistic toward the admonition of the Federal Reserve authorities.

While we worry about what the future may hold in the way of domestic troubles, Hitler and Mussolini outwardly are not cor respondingly upset over their own affairs. As the New Year opens, they exchange felicitations regarding the certain undoing of their common foe. The year 194l may know who is to be undone, but so far is speaking day at a time.

NEW LEGISLATURE - NEW PROBLEMS


 Territorial Legislature less than a week away, in Juneau, most of the Legislators are already there.
 In contrast to former years, when Legislators arrived early and hotel Hobbies by this time were beehiVss of Legislative dis cussion, the 18th is shaping up slowly.
 This reflects, for the most part, the rapid improvement of Alas ka's transportation facilities, which now allow Legislators from the farthest parts of the Territory to remain at their hom es until day or two before the time they are due in Juneau.
 There was time, not so many years ago, when the Legislators from the Second Division had to leave Nome for Seattle on the last boat in October or dog-team it to Fairbanks in the dead of winter, a long and ardous trip. Now the Legislators from the Second can leave Nome one day and be in Juneau the next, the result of air travel which has given wings to the men of the north.
 The problems which the 18th Legislature will face are modern problems too, matters unheard of few sessions ago. Social secur- ity is the big item in Territorial Government today. The Alaska Planning Councils excellent new study Taxation in Alaska" con- tans one chart showing where the 1889 Alaska tax dollar went. The largest share, 38.37 cents, went for public welfare activit- ies. This expenditure exceeded even that for education (27.5 cents) and transportation 16.6 ccnts). Conservation took 825 cents, administration 49 cents and miscellaneous 3.45 cents.
 Of interest on the same page is another Wh el showing where the money came from. Fisheries cor ributed the biggest slice, 40.5 cents of every tax dollar Mining was close behind with 33.l cents. All the rest of th' taxes, school, vehicle, business and professional, liquor and mis cellaneous, accounted for only about one-fourth of Territorial income during the year. An eff fort to enact a mor1 equitable system of taxation in Alaska, to deve 0p new sources of revenue and thus remove some of the heavy load borne by the two in dustries of fishing and mining, will be made by the 18th Territ- orial Legislature. It Is an effort which will require the best brains of the Legislature and the T rri'ory as a whole if it is to prod legislation which is scien tifc, fair and eff ctive. Nothing ecu q be more destructive of T sri'at.al progress at this time than bad tax law and nothing cold contribute more toward tha. progress than good one.
 T. goes without saying that ec- oromy in Territorial government is the Wish of the people of Al aska. This is an economy which will n,ean sacrifices by all of the peopl of the Territory, For in stance, Il may proOaDly mean an end to wolf, coyote, eagle and trout bounties, among those things which are not productive of results in relation to their cos The people of some parts of Alas ka will be loath to see the bounty system junked for it has meant money in their pockets. But if every $20 spent for coyote boun- ty does not do the Territory at least $20 worth of good, as men who have made a careful study of the system are prepared to demonstrate to the Legislature, it dc.s not the bounty system
