HOW TO AVOID
COMMON ERRORS

Twenty-Five million persons, tlfll'N

Will probably file income-taX re-
turns this year. These returns be
gin to trickle in around January /.
Every return for the calendar year
1871 must be in b. midnieht OF
March Is. In order to handle the
enormous volume OF work aIoh'
entailed of receiving these returns,
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
has greatly increased Its stan II
IFS several district offices. The eX-
perience of former years shows
that the Bureau Is always SWamped
with late returns. II taxpayers
will file their returns early, they
will find that this will be mutually
beneficial to them and 10 the gov
ernment.
A large number Of these returns
contain errors which, if not cor
rCcted by the audit. would result
to the disadvantage of the tax
0ayer. Many persons pay in mo.e
than the amount of tho tax dut,
others fail to take advantage OF
the personal exemption, the credl.
allowed for dependents. or dCduc-
lions from gross income TO which
they are entitled.
In making out your incomc-taX
return. read carefully and stud5
the instructions that accompany
the forms on which the tax is CON-
puted. If you need more informa-
ton, it ma" be obtained at the Of
flee of the collector of internal
revenue, deputy collector, or an
internal-reyenue agent in charge
When you visit an internal-revenLe
office to get assistance in making
ont your return, take a copy of
your 1910 return with you.

said.
Both are asked to register. It
is necessary that we know Just
what plants. schools, or other or
ganizatiCns already have trained
first aid workers so that no dupli-

Japanese Claim
British Collapse
Near in Malaga

TOKYO. Jan. O. COfficial radio
recorded by UP in New York and
san FranciSco'-Radio Tokyo said
today British resistance at Kuala
Iampur. gateway to Singapore, was
collapslng under japanese attack.
The japanese said the British have
lest more than half their men and
equipment in the mOnth-old battle.
The fall of Kuala Lampur would
enablc japanese plncers to consoli-
date and then to march together
to attack Singapore itself, the
broadcast said.
The Japanese said the British
defense of Singapore was becoming
increasingly difficult with its
strength of forces estimated at only
20C0O or 10000 and the greater
part of Its defenders and materials
either captured or destroyed
The broadcast said that British
air strength i'll Malaga had dwin-
died to lO5 planes. It estimated orig
inal strength at 500 and said REIN
forcements had added anothing 100
during the fighting.
British planes no longer appear
over the battlefieldS for fear of
falling easy prey to superior Japa-
ncse planes the japanese account
said.
Radio Saigon, operated in Japa-
nesc- controlled French Indo-China
broadcast a dispatch from a Japa-
nese newspaper The Tokyo Times
and Advertiser, government organ
saying Japan does not see why it
should limit the war to its own
hemisphere and that Japan was
ready to invade North America

LET'S STAl
HARD HEADED

America IS goinA~ to do the Job Pi'oSi-
dent Roosevelt has 5 et up for 1.-THE job
Of producing more planes, tanks ana
ships than the world has ever seen and
using them to wipe the AXIS 50 lar OH
the earth there won't be so mueh as
blot left.
But while we're doing the job, les
keep the mud of emotionaliSm otf OF our
spectacles Let's realize that TO-DAY
we're the big brother Of all tie alIleu
nations. but tomorrow We'll return 10
our unenviable position as the most ell
We'd Of the nations.
Let's not be led to believe for inst an ce
that ahead of us lies an endless PAIN 'h
roses in which We Of the United Sta1e
will walk hand-in-hand in peace aAtt
mutual respect with the Communists ol
Soviet Russia.
The sort of thing we ought to be eX--
tremely cautious about is represented
in the proposal Of Sen. Mon c. Wallgren,
Washington Democrat, that the United
States and Russia collaborate in fortify-
ing the Kamchatkan peninsula, opposite
southern Alaska IN the North Pacltlc.
The peninsula would provide good
bases today for a bombing offensive
against Japan. But tomorrow II events
turned tnaI way, II Noulu plONAuN 'N''
excellent base for Russian operations
against the United States.
We do not mean to suggest that any
aid should be withheld from Russia IN
the war that is not going on, or that any
opportunities for aggressive actoh
against Japan should be missed We sug-
gest ONLY that, before the United States
fortifes any other nations territory, we
should make downright sure that we re
going to have some continuing voice Ill
what is done with fortlflcatlons after
this war Is over.
We want to be sure we don't stock an
arsenal to be used against US IN some post
war international realignment
We're fighting alongside Russia today
We admire the Red army immensely tor
what it has done to the Germans. We
believe we should give them all the help
we are capable of in defeating a common
foe. In helping them, we are helping
ourselves.
But we do not believe there has been
any basic change in the poles-apart dl1-
ferences between conceptions of govern
ment here and in Russia, and we do not
believe the Communists will stop their
efforts to disrupt all other forms OF
government, once this war is over:
Today let US fight with everything at
our disposal, alongside anyone who
wants to fight alongside us but let US
at the same time be hard headed enough
to realize that we're still going to be
the goat in the end unless we protect
ourselves now.

PRESIDENT STEELE

Mr.. Steee's experience in social work in Boston
should serve him well in his position president of the
NAACP local. During eight years he was head worker
at the Robert Gould Shaw House For the past three
years he has been the executive director of the Arm
strong Hemenway Foundation, society engaged in
Settlement house work The long period of social
ice has given him sound understanding of colored
peoples problems Important also is the fact that he is
free from political entanglements and aspirations. He
therefore be aggressive without fear favor in
the struggle for equal rights and equal opportunities for
all people, and he will be only charging the sphere of
really democratic activity to which he has applied him
self during many years.
Although the locals president has the requisite
qualifications for efficient administration he will need
and should receive the active support of the member
ship, As its working head Mr.. Steele knows that he
must bear the brunt Of any criticism if the organization
fails to live up its tradition as militant body and un-
doubtedly he will exert himself to the utmost But
members and should cooperate by attendance at
meetings and by suggestions for action as we'll as by
payment of dues and participation in the annual drive
and banquet They thus properly share in the respon-
sbity for the success and glory of the cause to which
the organization is dedicated.
