The Western Hemisphere anti- Axis lineup stood tonight: At war: United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Re- public, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Salvador. Broken diplomatic relations: Co- lembia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela. Praises Solidarity. Mr. Welles told the conference the compromise agreement was “of overwhelming importance” in se- curing hemisphere solidarity against the foes of democracy. “For the first time in the history of hemisphere relations,” he went on, “joint action of the highest im- portance has been taken with una- nimity. B “There exists today a more real Pan-Americanism than ever before in the history of our hemisphere.” He said the agreement, recom- mending severance of relations with the Axis, meant that their diplo- matic and consular agents “will no longer be able to use territory within the Western Hemisphere as their bases of activities against us and our American allies.” “It is true that we have not all seen eye to eye as to the exact ”n MILE O’ DIMES CONTRIBUTORS—Two Girl Scouts, Dorothy e T | the postponement.

Other Action to Follow. Measures will follow, he asserted, | to alleviate any injuries to the | economies of the American repub- lics as a result of their anti-Axis | decision here. Machinery will be set up in each country, he said, to determine im- port requirements and that export | quotas would be fixed wherever posible. | “All these measures will tie in| closely with the priority and allo- ications procedures already estab- | | lished in the United States,” Mr. | | Welles explained. I It was annourced the conference | |would end Wednesday instead of | Tuesday as previously planned. The conference political commit- | tee deferred action today on the | question of adherence to the Atlan- | tic charter after the Argentine, | Chilean, Bolivian and Brazilian | delegations objected, chiefly on the ‘ground that it was a declaration of | two countries not including the | Latin Americas. | Mr. Welles spoke in behalf of | adherence but did not object to Conference leaders sought swift | approval of a companion agreement | | severing all financial, commercial | |and economic relations with the Axis. Argentina appeared angling for | some reservations in the sweeping economic measure but leaders pre- | dicted its adoption unchanged. Mutual Assistance. | 'The proposal, approved by the‘ economic committee, provides for | reciprocal assistance of the Tepub- | | lics to relieve any burden thrust on them as a result of the com- mercial and economic ruptures. | The resolution provided “addi- tional measures which shall be nec- essary to stop, during the present | | continental emergency, all com- | mercial and financial interchange, | direct or indirect, between the| Western Hemisphere and naticm‘ which are signatory to the tripartite | pact and territories dominated by |them.” A conference, possibly in | Washington, would be held to de- | termine a uniform procedure. | The economic committee also for- mally recommended a gold stabil- ization fund and a meeting of ex- | perts to discuss means for putting |it into effect. | Brazil’s foreign minister Oswaldo | | Aranha, who is chairman of the| conference, made public letters from | Germany, Japan and Italy express- | ing the hope that Brazil would not | sever relations. He also read his reply which said Brazil had main- | tained strict neutrality until an| American country had been at-| | tacked, after which Brazil foilowed | the “point of view of the Americas.” ‘He said Brazil signed the rupture | resolution because it intended to! | “faithfully carry it out.” | The Axis letters argued that| Brazil had no interests or stakes | in the war and insinuated, without | saying so outright, that a rupture |in relations would be followed !1’l ‘War, s |Horticultural Club |Will Install Officers | William H.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina; Jan. 24. — Though Acting President Ramon 8. Castillo reiterated tonight that from the outset of Pan- American deliberations Argentina had declared she “would not go to | war and would not sever relations" with the Axis, the government at the | same time was reported planning te strengthen defenses in line with commitments made at Rio de Janeiro, These plans, according to in- formed sources, call for the sta- tioning of mobile units at strategic points along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia, and possibly patroling of Argentine coastal waters. Patagonia extends roughly from the southern tip of Terra del Fuego, and thus takes in the shipping route through the Straits of Magel- lan at the southern end of the South American mainland. It also was understood that the military class of 1920, already to be kept under arms until March 31, thereby 'doubling the size of the army, might be retained in service beyond that date, with the likelihood other classes would be called up if circumstances should make it neces- sary. Mr. Castillo reiterated Argentina's stand on action against the Axis in an interview in the newspaper Ulti- mas Graficas. “We clearly stated from the out- set,” he declared, “and maintained consistently that Argentina would not go to war nor sever relations, but that she was disposed to accept, in accordance with her never-lack- ing American sentiment, any form of agreement which reaffirmed the solidarity and unity of the continent, but at the same timeleft the indi- vidual American countries free, in the exercise of their own sovereignty, to adopt measures which the special situation and circumstances of each country made advisable.” Net Income In computing a Federal income tax, the taxpayer is confronted with the problem of ascertaining (1) his gross income and, unless the tax is computed under the optional sim- plified method, (2) his net income and (3) his surtax net income. The instructions which gccompany the forms clearly and explicitly set out how this is done. If, after reading them carefully, the taxpayer does not understand them, he should con- sult the nearest collector, or deputy collector, of internal revenue. Gross income, generally, is all in- come derived in any taxable year from any source whatever, unless specifically exempt by law. In any usual business, the gross income of the person operating it consists of the gross profits on sales, plus any income from investments and inci- dental or outside operations or sources. The income-tax return must show gross sales, purchases and the cost of the goods sold, and the in- ventories at the beginning and end of each taxable year. Your Income Tax— No. 21—Gross Income, Net Income and Surtax In the case of professional men— s lawyer, a physician, an architect or any other—there must be in- cluded in the gross income all fees, salaries and compensation of any &nd received for professional serv- 5. Net income is the gross income less the deductions allowed by law. ‘The long-continued and varying ex- perience of the Bureau of Internal Revenue shows that numerous er- rors are made by taxpayers in their income-tax returns due to their fail- ure to understand clearly what de- ductions from gross income and what credits against net income are allowable. The taxpayer, in his own interest, is urged to read over the in- structions on the forms until he un- derstands them before he makes out his return. Legal deductions include business and professional expenses, such as salaries, pensions and bo- nuses to employes, taxes, losses, in- terest, bad debts, depreciation, depletion, contributions and similar An earned-income credit of 10 credit for dependents, if any, for the purpose of computing the normal tax. Surtax net income is the balance left after deducting exemptions and credits from the net income. From this balance is to be deducted the earned ngt income credit and other items, specified in the law.and in- dicated in the return, in determin- ing the amount on which the nor- mal tax of 4 per cent is to be com- puted. Ben Hur News Owing to the consolidation of Cen- tral and United Courts, a reception | was held in Pythian Temple for the former officials and raembers at the Janusry meeting. Samuel Trupp, chairman of the Executive Bosrd, and Walter T. Roche, judge, Potomac Court, spoke on the schedule of booster meetings. Eulogies were de- livered for Willlam E. Foss and Royston F. Heck.
