National Marcos threatens to abolish military base treaty with U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) - On* tiny after be ing declared winner of the Philippine eluction. President Ferdinand Marcos threatened Sun day to abrogate the military beset treaty with the United States if the Reagan administration cut* off aid to his government, “If that happens, we'll have to talk about renegotiating the bases," Marcos said Sunday on CBS' interview program “Face The Nation." Marcos added, however, "We have to renegotiate those bases anyway because you have acR paid the compensatory package for the use of military facilitiaa. to the tune of about *70 million ’’ During bis 20 years in power, Marcos has repeatedly used the treaty covering the bases the two largest U S. military facilities out side the United States — as a bargaining chip to assure support from Washington, Me also brought up the issue during the election campaign, accusing challenger Cor aston Aquino of being ready to break the irwaty, while denying he ever fathomed the idea. Both Marcos and Aquino have said the United States should pay a higher rent for use of the bases. Sen. Richard huger, R-Ind,, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who led the official IJ.S. delegation that observed the election, said Marcos' refusal to carry out reforms has jeopardized the security of the bases. "As a matter of fact we believe our bases are in jeopardy because the Philippine army doesn't have the efficiency it ought to have," said Lugar, who also appeared on the program. The United States considers its two prin cipal bases in the Philippines, Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base, strategically impor tant to its security interests throughout the Pacific, particularly since the Soviet Union took over use of Cam Ranh Bay from the United States after the Vietnam War. Lugar said he may support halting aid to the Marcos government. "The problem is try ing to separate aid for military reform from an endorsement of President Marcos. I think that's a very delicate problem, maybe not im possible. but one we will have to consider carefully."
