Harried Internal Revenue Bureau
officials were taking well-earned
rest today after deluge of tax re-
turns here yesterday.
jackson w. Maslin, assistant chief
field deputy in the Washington area
office, said some 4,300 persons filed
returns. But the crowds were not
as grett as anticipated, for between
s pm. and midnight-the deadline-
only 1000 taxpayers showed up at
the bureau-much less than a year
ago.
The last person to step up to the
cashiers cage at the bureau to file
his return and pay was John Geor-
giades, 1910 Fourteenth street NV,
editor of the Greek language news
paper, Greek News.
just beating the deadline he
rushed down to the bureau in a

business to attend to and people to
talk to. When got through my
business I took cab straight to

does not take advantage OF this
sentiment, if on the contrary they
discourage it, the responsibility will
be entirely theirs.
Could Brush Aside Speeches.
There is for instance a very good
way in which they could brush aside
any speeches which they dislike 1t
is way which is open to them now
in the next fortnight. The British
government, of which I was the
head, signed a treaty with Russia
and with Persia solemnly under
taking to respect the integrity and
sovereignty of Persia and to evac-
uate that country by certain date.
This treaty was reaffirmed at
Teheran by the tri-partite agree
ment signed by the head or the
Soviet government, by the late
President Roosevelt and by me. In
fulf1llment of this agreement the
United States and the British have
already left that country. But now
We are told that the Soviet govern
ment, instead of leaving, are
actually sending in more troops.
Now this is one of those cases for
which the United Nations Security
Council was especially devised, and
1 am very glad to read IN ,he ews-
papers-and there is an awful lot in
newspapers and an awful lot that
is very accurate in the newspapers
that the Soviet representatives
will attend the meeting of the Sc
curitiy Council which is to take
place here in New York on March
Is. BY all means let the matter be
thrashed out there and let respect
be shown, even by the greatest or
most deeply-interested powers, to
the conclusions of the Security
Council. In this way the reign of
world law and the international
foundations of enduring peace would
be immeasurably consolidated.
Soviet Well-Rewarded.
There is no reason why Soviet
Russia should feel ill-rewarded for
her efforts in the war. If her losses
have been grievous-and they make
your heart bleed at her terrible
losses-her gains have been mag
nificent. Her two tremendous an
tagonists. Germany and Japan,
have been laid low. Japan was
overthrown almost entirely by
American arms. Russia recovered
almost without striking a blow all
that she lost to Japan 40 years ago.
In the west the Baltic states and
large part of Finland have been re-
incorporated in Russia. The Curzon
Line is no longer questioned. Then

We come to the Straits OF the Dar-
danelles.
I welcome the Russian flag on
Russian ships on the high seas and
oceans. I have always told our
Soviet allies that Great Britain
would support the revision of the
Montreaux Convention about the
Straits. At Potsdam the Americans
and British offered to Russia joint
guarantee of the complete freedom
of the Straits in peace and war
whether for merchant ships OF
ships of war. To this guarantee
Turkey would have gladly SUBJ
scribed. But we were told that
that was not enough. Russia must
have a fortress inside the Straits
from which she could dominate
Constantinople. But this is not to
keep the Straits open but to give
power of closing them to a single
nation.
This is out of harmony with the
principle urged by the United
States representative of the free
dom of the great waterways of Eu-
rope, the Danube, the Rhine, and
other rivers which run through
many countries. At any rate, there
was the offer and have no doubt
it is still open, and if Soviet Russia
still persists in putting pressure or
Turkey, the matter must in the first
instance be pronounced upon by the
United Nations Security Council
Thus early will come a very great
test for the world organization or
which so many hopes-indeed ]
might say all our hopes-are
founded.

Could you have greater example OF

1t could not be ascertained imme-
diately whether Mr.. Beisemeier's ac-
count referred to the same plane as
the Armys announcement. He said
he was certain the Russian field
was in Germany and not in Czecho-
slovakia.
Mr.. Beisemeier said, "The Rus
slams treated us very fine, but told
us we had to stay as their guests.
They wouldn't take no for an an

ment based upon 1t and can change
it by constitutional processes at any
time they like or at frequent inter-
walls. 1t can hardly be called q
democratic election where the can
didates OF only one party are al
lowed to appear and where the
voter has not even the secrecy Of
the ballot to protect him. That's
making it too easy. These mis-
understandings will be swept away
if we get through the present diff
ficult period safely and If the Brit
ish, American and Russian peoples
are allowed to mingle freely with
one another and see how things are
done in their respective. countries.
No doubt we all have much to
learn from one another. I rejoice
to read in the newspapers that there
never were more Russian ships in
New York harbor than there are
tonight. I am sure you will give
the Russian sailors a hearty well
come to the land of the free and
the home of the brave.
Full Loyalty to Charter.
Now I turn to the other part Of
my message-the relations between
Great Britain and the United
States. On these the life and free
dom of the world depend. Unless
they work together in full loyalty
to the Charter, the organization Of
the United Nations will cease to
have any reality. No one will be able
to put his trust in it and the world
will be left to the clash of national
isms which have led us to two
frightful wars.
I have never asked for an Anglo
American military alliance or a
treaty. I asked for something diff
ferent and in a sense 1 asked for
something more. I asked for fra
ternal association, free voluntary
fraternal association. I have no
doubt that it will come to pass. az
surely as the sun will rise tomorrow.
But you do not need a treaty to
express the natural af1inities and
friendships which arise in a fra
ternal association. On the other
hand, it would be wrong that The
fact should be concealed or ignored.
Nothing can prevent our nations
drawing ever closer to one another
and nothing can obscure the fact
that in their harmonious ,ompan-
ionship lies the main hope of a
world instrument for maintaining
peace on earth and goodwill to all.
I thank you profoundly for all
your gracious kindness and hospi-
tality to me during this visit / have
paid to your shores. Mine is not
the first voice raised within your
spacious bounds in the cause Of
freedom and of peace. Nor will it

United States stands at the highest
point of majesty and power ever

Goering Says keiteI
Was Only yFigurehead;
Asked Field Command
by The As.eeiaied Prsss

BY The Associated Press
NUREMBERG, Mar. 1e.-Her-
mann Goering described Nazi Field
Marshal Wilhelm Keitel today as 1
snubbed liaison officer who had
pleaded for permission to leave Hit
leris encourage for q minor field
command because I have been eat
Ing more rot than bread"
Goering testified for the fourth
successive day at the war crimes
trial before the International Mill
tary Tribunal.
Questioned by Keitel's attorney
Goering described the former chief
Of the Nazi high command as little
more than f1gurehead in many re-
spects.
Goering recalled that he once had
said to Keitel: whether orders are
signed by you or Pfc. Meier doesn't
make any difference to me. Save
time and paper. I am the supreme
commander of the air force and i'm
mediately subordinate to the
Had Ungrateful Task.
Goering said Keitel, who Is one
OF his 81 fellow defendants here,
had the "ungrateful task" of admin
istering strategy which others de-
cided.
Il remember Keitel once asked If
I could hn
line command" Goering declared.
He said he would be satisfied with
one division in order to get away,
because he had been eating more
rot than bread"
Goering said the fact that many
OF the Fuehrer's commands were
signed by Keitel did not mean
keitel had had any voice in franz
ing them.
Other generals called Keitel a
yes-sayer," he testified,
Asked about prosecution charge
that Keitel threatened to bomb
Prague in March, 1899, Goering
barked: Il said yesterday, and I
repeat, that I made that threat"
Urged Moderation.
Goering contended that Keitel
was moderate in his attitude toward
Hitler's demand for a lynch law
against captured Allied flyers, and
proposed sending a note first to the
Allies warning them that measures
would have to be taken"
Goering bluntly told the tribunal
yesterday that he believed the 1907
Hague rules of warfare outmoded
and argued that in modern total
war everything in seized areas, even
nanpower, could be considered con-
querors' booty.
The judges leaned forward and
listened intently as the No. 1 Nazi
war crimes defendant expounded
his ruthless theory toward the close
OF his third day on the. witness
stand.
Ends Defense.
Then, with sense of dramatic
timing, Goering ended with a quota
tion he attributed to Winston
Churchill-''in struggle for life or
oeaIii tnere is no legality"
Goering described Mr.. Churchill
as "oee of our strongest and tough
est opponents" Defense counsel
said the quotation was obtained
from a German White Book. and
was allegedly made by the former
British Prime Minister to Scandi-
navian correspondents in 1910 when
Mr.. Churchill was justifying the
British campaign against seaborne
supplies to Germany.
Goering declared The Hague rules
of war were conceived in an era
when 1.-The army was remote from
the civilian population" but that
today Everybody fights, even the
child N bombing raid fights
Defending the German system of
slave labor, he said, "The use of
