announcement of Quebec budget plans by Premier Maurice Duplessis, following the announcement of the Ontario budget, offers the Canadian people a striking example of what can be achieved by sound Provincial administration and also most effectively refutes claims of those favoring centralization of all taxing powers with the Federal Government that the only way for the Provinces to maintain financial stability was by agreeing with the Ottawa proposals.Ontario and Quebec will not levy personal income taxes.The two central Provinces will not increase succession duties.I hey will raise revenue by taking up the three cent tax on gasoline abandoned by the Federal Government, and will impose a seven per cent corporation tax, thus moving partially into the ten per cent reduction allowed by the Federal Government.By refusing the Ottawa proposals, and financing their administrations in the way just outlined, the Governments of Quebec and Ontario have saved the taxpayers of Canada $136,980,000, the full amount of the Federal subsidy offered to the two Provinces if they agreed to abandon their traditional taxing fields to the Federal Government.It is the responsibility of Ottawa to pass this saving on directly to the taxpayers through a reduction in personal income tax.Compare the position of British Columbia with Quebec and Ontario and it will be seen that the two Eastern Provinces are giving a striking opportunity for tax reduction.British Columbia is being paid a subsidy of $18,600,-000 and at the same time is retaining the three cent gasoline tax and the full ten per cent of the corporation tax.This general policy is being followed by the other Provinces which have entered into agreements with the Federal administration.In effect Ottawa is paying substantial subsidies to certain Provinces for exclusive Federal jurisdiction in the income and succession duty fields.By refusing to levy income taxes or increase succession duty taxes Quebec and Ontario are giving these privileges to the Federal Government for nothing.Ibis high-minded policy gives Ottawa an opportunity to reduce taxes materially\u2014and it is an opportunity the people of Canada are determined the Federal Government should take.EDUCATION, NOT REPRESSION, NEEDED The demand being heard in certain quarters to declare the Labor Progressive party in Canada illegal seems an il!-considered way of ridding this country of the nuisance and danger created by this group of agitators which is seeking to overthrow the present system of government in the Dominion.Outlawing the Labor Progressive group as a political party would have little effect in curbing its subversive and espionage activities.Rather, it would only serve to drive the trouble-makers underground and at the same time give them a wonderful opportunity to pose as martyrs for their cause.Canada has had one experience in trying to outlaw this organization.In the early days of the war the Communist party was ru.-d an illegal organization, with severe penalties being imposed upon all who supported or became members of the party.The chief effect of the ban was to cause the appearance of the Labor Progressive party, the direct descendant of the earlier Communist party, which continued the pro-Russian policies of its parent and maintained the same system of agitation and espionage.This country at the present time has adequate laws aimed at those who seek to undermine the government and to betray ;be Canadian people to a foreign power-.! hese can be applied to individuals and organizations who are found guilty of such activity witnout making membership in tKe organization a crime in itself and would prevent the issue from becoming clouded through the introduction of extraneous matters.The most effective answer to the Communist menace would be a campaign of education designed to offset the propaganda activity of the reds.This should not be the responsibility of a government ofganization, which is quite likely to cause more harm than good, but should be conducted by various groups who believe in maintaining the Canadian way of life and who can impress upon their members and associates the advantages of the present system over that of socialist totalitarianism.HE MEANS YOU, SAM 00I9B/ i' v «A Scrvtç*, In*.Letters To The Editor Press Comment From The Record Files UNITED STATES AIDS MEDITERRANEAN ALLIES The urgency with which the United States administration regards the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is emphasized by the request of President Truman that $400,000,-000 be transferred to Greece and 1 urkey, the bulkwarks against the spread of Communism in that region.Admitting that the problem of Greece and Turkey should be one for action by the United Nations, the President stresses however that no delay is possible if these countries are to retain their independence and that as the only nation in a financial position to give the required aid alone, the United States must step into the breach.President Truman apparently realizes that even if Great Britain be relieved of the economic burden, the military task will be too great for her weakened international structure and therefore asks that military experts be despatched to the two countries in an effort to bolster the armed forces of these two nations which have been waging an , uphill battle against Communist infiltration and aggression.Turkey and Greece jointly form the key to the Mediterranean.Should Russia be able to bring one or both of these nations under her tutelage she would have an important toehold on this important waterway which would make her a distinct threat to the international balance of power between the east and west.A I urkey and a Greece, fortified by United States economic and military aid, would be enabled to continue their battle and thus relieve the pressure upon the other powers.The timing of President Truman\u2019s message is also important, coming as it does in the opening days of the Foreign Ministers\u2019 conference in Moscow.It may be taken as a definite notice to Russia that while the Western Democracies are hopeful of an agreement mutuaMy satisfactory to all concerned on European problems, they are about at the end of their Appeasement policies.Washington Column BY PETER EDSON SPIKING STOLEN RELIEF RUMOR Commonest rumor sweeping the country today seems to be a whispering campaign report that individual parcel post relief shipments sent to Europe never get delivered.Usual version of this taie is that the parcels ar e taken off ships in the English Channel, lowered to small boats, taken to England, and sold in the black market.This particular cock-and-bull story seems to have started in San Francisco, hut it has now spread all the way to the east coast.Post Office Department offlc'mls have had to answer hundreds of letters on this subject in recent weeks, denying the report, but it is dying hard.It will take considerable time and effort to kill it dead.Mail diversion of this kind just can\u2019t happen, say postal authorities, for a number of reasons.First, few ships carrying mail to Europe call at British ports.Second, mail sacks are sealed and could not be transferred without the shortage being detected.On arrival at European ports, mail is transferred to postal authorities of the receiving country for customs examination.In occupied Germany and Austria the mail is also subject to censorship by military authorities.There may be some loss in handling, but international parcel post officials say it is less than one per cent of total shipments.There are, however, a number of circumstances which may contribute to making delivery impossible, Even with losses held as low as one per cent, a number of parcel post relief shipments might fail to reach destination.In 19:19 parcel post shipments to foreign countries was less than 29 million pounds a year.But in the past seven months they have been 200 million pounds, and the quantity is rising.petty thievery exaggerated The shipping strike last fall delayed parcel post from August to October.The backlog of parcels mailed from the United States in this period did not clear New York until late December.There is a certain amount of pilferage in Europe which it will always be impossible to stop.When people are.hungry and cold, the mere sight of food and clothing sticking out of a broken package is too great a temptation to resist.Often individual items like cigarets or candy may be taken from packages and the remainder delivered.But the amount of this petty thievery has apparently been exaggerated by gossip in the United States.Greatest causes for non-delivery, say postal officials, are bad packing, bad addressing, and bad customs declarations.Too many kind-hearted Americans wanting to make a small relief shipment to someone they know in Europe mail packages which migF be shipped safely across the United States.But when put in mail bags which must be stacked 10 or 15 feet deep in postal warehouses or the holds of ships, the bottom sacks often got crushed.When an ordinary corrugated paper box gets smashed, the contents spill.Often it is difficult to tell which package the stuff came from.Chicago Post Office has had to assign a special staff of mail clerks to repair packages broken in transit.They have been so Ivadly packed the wrapping breaks before arrival at a seaport, \u201cCARE\" OVERCOMES MOST OBSTACLES Bad addressing is another cause of non-delivery.Movement of people from an old home to a new one makes delivery difficult, Europe hasn't yet settled down.Another factor is that nearly all shipments going to foreign countries are subject to customs duties and internal taxation.Senders don't take the trouble to find out what can go duty free.Denis on which taxes must be collected often can't be delivered because the people to whom they arc sent haven't enough money to pay the duty, New instructions have recently been issued to all U.S.postmasters to refuse shipments not adequately wrapped, addressed, and invoiced for the rough handling they must receive.The organization known ns \u201cGARE\" -the Co-operative for American Remittances to Europe \u2014 with headquarters at 50 Broad St,.New York, has been able to overcome most of these ob \u2022 acles.G ARE is a non-profit service organization backed by most U.S.foreign charity agencies to supp'.emcr: their mass relief work.GARE sends bulk shipment.* of standardized, individual food and clothing packages

ance for those who can qualify and who wish to take courses in universities.This is well conceived, and we have reason for some pride in the advanced thinking that prompted it.The time seems to have come, however, for a rather general review of the whole program.In many cases, veterans are finding it difficult to continue their studies, due to finances.The allowances made to them are certainly not munificent, $10 per month for single men and $80 for those who are married.The very authorities who maintain these rates admit that there have been rather sharp increases in living costs, but no adjustment ui the scale has apparently been considered.* * * The veterans are not asking that they be permitted to live in THIRTY YEARS AGO The Sherbrooke County Council has approved a special two mill tax for the benefit of the Patriotic fund which is expected to produce $6,700 this year.Among those taking part in a play presented at Ulverton were: Thelma Mills, Lna Atkinson, Leila Carson, Lyall Duffy, Viola Noble, Kathleen Cummings and Doris Wadleigh.The Lake Megantic Town Council is studying proposals from a Johnville firm for a bonus in return for establishing a box factory in the town.TWENTY YEARS AGO The Public Works estimates introduced into the House of Commons provide for the construction of a new post office at Waterloo at a cost of $4,000.Prize-winners at a masquerade dance given at Union Hall in Abercorn were: Miss Avis Lahue, Miss Dorothy Maurice, Eric Hall, Delbert Tibbitts, Pauline Tibbitts, Christine Sherrer, Marion Cowan, Eric St.Francis and Buddy Reynolds.\t> At the annual meeting of the Ladies Guild of St.John\u2019s Church, Boscobel, the following officers were elected: Mrs.Stewart Hackwell, Mrs.A.Moffatt, Mis.N.Copping, Mrs.C.Cootes and Mrs.Joseph Hack well TEN YEARS AGO Officers elected at the annual meeting of the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce were: J.L.Foley, E.E.Goodenough, E.A.Bernard, T.G.Walsh, J H.Codere, Guy Bryant, J.A.Savard, A.D.Echenberg, E.Thibaudeau, W.Mutchler, Emile Levesque, A.C.Stevens, Dr.L.Forest, A.C, Skinner, W.Routhier, E.J.Page, L.W.Dixon, G.D.Wadsworth, A.Leblanc, M.T.Armitage, C.Mignault and L.Chevaiiei.The following officers were named for the Sherbrooke Auxiliary to the Wales\u2019 Home: Mrs.Fred Hovey, Mrs.F.S.Rugg, Mrs.W.G.Cross, Mrs, C.A.Turner, Mrs.Nelson Whitman and Mrs.J.H.Bryant, FIVE YEARS AGO Officers elected at the annual meeting of the Halley branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society were: Mrs.M.G.Pellerin, Mrs.W.A.Edwards, Mrs.Delbert Vaughan, C.W.Moulton, Mrs.Arthur McClary and Rev.W.A.Edwards.The production of commercial trucks has been suspended in Canada to permit the factories to concentrate upon the production of military vehicles.Japanese naval units have been sighted off the Solomon Islands.Military observers think an attempt might be made to establish a base in these islands which would provide a jumping-off point for an attack on New Zealand and would menace the supply lines to Australia.Me KENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm E.McKenney.America\u2019s Card Authority CLEVER SPADE PLAY BEATS \u201cSURE\u201d SET While in Chicago recently 1 watched William McGhee play gin rummy, and it confirmed my belief in his card-playing ability.He played the game as well as I have ever seen it played.McGhee is a ELEGANCE DOES IT Louis de Vilmorin, in Vogue Those born with a sense of ele-I have always thought that there gance are committed for life to a were just.-a few people in towns j Hate of grace more enviable than and cities who have the Impression beauty.that farmers were not as intelli-1 At the sight of an elegant worn-cent as themselves and because of i an we experience a feeling which luxury while acquiring their edu- rather bold bidder in bridge ami cation, Most of them ask nothing i depends upon his card playing to ; more than a minimum subsistence j deliver the contract.Later I had allowance, but the payments ob- j an opportunity to watch him play : viously fall below that level, j today\u2019s bridge\" hand.There is but one possible result,' It* is true that the opponents that many will be forced to drop could have defeated the contract, out after having completed only 1 but even the expert might .slip on part of their course.\tthe defense.West opened the king This constitutes not only a : of clubs, which was won in dum-hardship on the ex-service men my with the ace.The three of and women.It is economic waste.| spades wuo led and East failed to The allowances are not mere They should be investment.Those for education go up with the king, so West was charitable gestures.| forced to win the trick with the >e looked on as an j queen.Another club was led, ______________________________ _\t_hose capable of ab-] which McGhee trumped with the this fact thev believe that this is !
