RELATIONS WITH
FRANCE NOT GOOD
United States Not Salts
fled With Explanation of
Vichy on Aid to Nazis
BY II. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Feb. 10 up
United States relations with Vichy
France were under a serious strain
today because of the inability Of the
French 10 explain satisfactorily the
aid the Axis army in Libya has re-
ceived through French North At
RIGA.
There were two long conferences
at the State Department yesterday
about the situat ton, but no an
nouncements were made.
Further discussions will be held
1t was understood that the depart
ment is moving cautiously but firm
ly because of the Importance of the
stakes involved.
French Ambassador CASTOR
Henry-Haye conferred for an hour
yesterday with Undersecrtary of
State Sumner Welles. Later Welles
received the British ambassador,
Lord Halifax.
Henry Haye told reporters that
he had brought fresh explanation
of the whole French situation to
NtiAtD anu plldU llC w ChfJldllllllR
and justifying" the French position.
Halifax declined to comment aft
er his Commute conference.
Defers Answers
Welles has said he prefers de-
ferring answers to questions about
Vichy France until more appropri-
ate time.
According to diplomatic sources,
Vichy's representative have admit
led giving some aid to German and
Italian forces in Libya but have
justified it on the ground that they
faced the alternative of German oc-
cupation of the important French
naval base Of Bizerte, in Tunisia,
adjoining Libya.
France contends that SO long as
she resists German demands on
more important matters--use of the
French fleet and bases in France
and French North Africa she
should not be adjudged guilty of
collaboration with the Axis by CIV
ing lesser aid.
The British have given the State
d e p TT m mt information that
French aid to the Axis was consid-
erably more than admitted. Accord
ing to the British, at least five
French ships arrived at Tunis on
Feb. /. The ships carried quantities
Of oil from French military and
naval stores. Other French sup
plies, including trucks, were said by
the British to have been sent
through Tunisia to the German
North Africa army of Field Marshal
Edwin Rommel.

LAST Community
FORUM ADDRESS
Eichelberger Advocates
Setup Stronger, Wiser
Than League of Nations

The organization of a combine Of
federated nations, similar to the
League of Nations, but possessed Of
more wisdom and capable Of enforc-
ing it's doctrines, was advocated as
a means Of preserving the peace
following the war by Clark M.
Eichelberger, national chairman of
the Committee to Defend America,
in an address at the Waterbury
Women's club last night.
The lecture, the last in a series
of Community forums sponsored by
the Y. M. C. A., attracted an audi
ence Of nearly 500. The speaker was
introduced by Chase Kimball, head
of the local chapter of the Com
mittee to Defend America.
Mr.. Eichelberger, who was a
doughboy In France, and subse-
quently executive secretary OF the
League Of Nations association, argu-
ed last night that we must combat
propaganda which would seek to dis
rupt unanimity of purpose In prose-
cutting the war.
Every aid must be given the ma
tons which are participating with us
in the struggle against tyranny, the
speaker said, and Russia and China
must not be denied a voice in form
ulating the peace that will follow
the war.

Y OUR
Income Tax
No. AZ
DEDUCTION FOR TAX ON
MOTOR GAS

MO1ON UfAS
If an automobile is used for both
business and pleasure, those mainte-
nance and operating expenses which
constitute allowable deductions for
Federal income tax purposes should
be allocated to the two uses on the
basis of the time the car is used
for each. For example, If the total
expense of operation and mainte-
nance, plus depreciation, for the
taxable year amounted to $500, and
the car was used three-fourths of
the time for business and the bal
ance for pleasure, the allowable de-
duction, for Federal income tax
purposes, would be 5000.
In general, taxes are deductible
only by the person upon whom they
are imposed and by whom they are
paid. If the State law imposing a
tax on gasoline by its terms imposes
the tax on the consumer and not on
the dealer, the consumer may de-
duct as a tax, for Federal income
tax purposes, the amount Of the
gasoline tax paid by him; but the
taxpayer must have kept records of
the payment of such taxes in order
that the deduction may be substan-
tiated as is required by the regula-
lions. The Federal gasoline tax is
not deductible by the consumer. The
taxpayer may ascertain whether q
State gasoline tax Is deductible by
the consumer or by the dealer by
addressing an inquiry to the ColleC-
tor of internal revenue for his dis
trict.
In any case where the gasoline
purchased is used for business pur-
poses, the tax may be regarded as q
part OF the cost Of the gasoline and
deducted as a business expense: but
In such case the gasoline tax can
not be deducted separately Is = tax
under the item Of taxes.
