first World War because it lay along the line of their

it was important as a communications center for rail-
ways canals, highways of northwestern France.
But from those ruins Compegne arose, its quaint
medieval buildings restored It's charm enshrned it in
the minds of American tourists its beauty and historic
association with Louis XIV, Napoleon and Napoleon III
enshrined it in the hearts of Frenchmen
Today, little remains intact in Compegne except its
medieval cathedral amazingly that escaped the bombs

Tax Waiver Treaty
With Great Britain
Senote Foreign Relations
Committee Members
Oppose Reciprocal Pact
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Strong opposition within the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee was
reported yesterday to have prompt
ed proposal that the State De-
partment withdraw reciprocal tax
waiver treaty signed with Great
Britain October II.
Senate ratification is necessary
TO make the treaty effective.
Publication of the treaty by the
committee disclosed that it would
provide for waiver of taxes on de-
fense supplies produced in this
country ON British contracts. in
return for a similar waiver of Brit
lSh taxes on American owned
equipment and transactions in
Great Britain, but not Canada.
The suggestion that the depart
ment withdraw the agreement was
understood to have come from ad-
minlstration sources after several
committee members. including
Chairman Connally. had objected to
the principle involved.
In letter, Secretary of State
Hull explained that the treaty
would grant each country and its
1nstrumentalities, when engaged in
carrying our defense purposes, ex-
emption from taxes imposed by the
other or by political subdivisions
thereof
1T would apply" the letter con-
tinued. Ito defense articles brought
into or acquired in the territory of
the other and to instrumentalities
created for the purpose OF carrying
out these measures"
Secretary Hull said that while
some States had granted certain
exemptions. other States would find
It difficult to do so in the absence
