WHAT
IS

What
is
the
difference
between
a
referendum
and
a
plebiscite,
in
the
application
to
the
matter
of
granting
a
bus
franchise?
The
distinction,
according
to
its
explanation,
in
city
council
last
night,
is
this:
A
referendum
is
an
expression
of
opinion
by
the
people,
and
can
be
voted
on
by
all
voters.
The
proposed
referendum
Is
this:
JShall

apy.Qn.ej
A
referendum,
under
the
Municipal
Elections
Act,
can
be
held
only
on
the
designated
election
day.
The
plebiscite,
which
can
be
voted
on
only
by
property
owners,
will
ask
this
question,
If
council
goes
through
with
It,
will
be
worded
thi
way:
"Shall
the

a
bylaw

LONDON
(CP)
The
four-power
foreign
ministers'
council
neared
today
the
end
of
debate
on
the
preparation
of
the
German
peace
treaty
with
agreement
on
critical
issues
no
nearer
than
it
was
eight
days
ago
when
discussions
opened.
Some
members
of
the
American
delegation
expressed
opinion
that
at
this
stage
the
conference
has-
demonstrated
only
two
things:
1.
The
inability
of
Russia
and
the
western
powers
to
discover
any
basis
for
a
"come
on"
future
for
Germany
at
this
time.
2.
Determination
of
Foreign
Minister
Molotov
of
Russia
to
,
use
the
meeting
as
a
forum
for
Russian
political
appeals
to
the
German
people.
Molotov
today
proposed
a
two-month
hoist
in
consideration
of
the
German
peace
treaty
but
later
withdrew
the
proposal.
