(Authorized as Second Class Mall, Post Office Department, Ottawa). The Paris Conference . To Russia the disintegration of the political and economic system of capitalistic Europe does not perhaps much matter. To the United States and Britain it matters very greatly. . That is why Russia's bargaining L position on treaties for Italy, Hun-traiy Rumania, and Bulgaria has .ibecn strong. Rather than compro-'raise, Russia can wait. But delay means to the United States and .Britain an ever more difficult task r:fnthe reconstruction of Europe. It my even mean chaos and commu-inism. That is, by tactics of delay JRussia might yet win control of most Europe. This is thQ background, starkly simplified, of the contest now getting under way as the American, British, French and Russian Foreign Ministers meet in Paris. The issues frankly hinge on the clash of Big Power interests. The defensive attitude of America and Britain is obvious. Between the Titans the small -.peoples stand helpless, hungrier, shabbier, and bearing a heavier load of despair than they ought to bear, because the question of the relative power of the Anglo-American and the Russian blocs cannot be re- solved to the satisfaction of either. Because the giants fear each other, all Europe, and the world, fear for the future. This is a moment of tremendous import. Words like "intransigence" and "despair" which harry the cables from Paris, show how great -is the need to do more than stand firm in one's own position. The need is to build a bridge and then take the first step on it to meet one's neighbors. The peoples of the world may well pray that that bridge building and those, steps will be taken at Paris. Not much progress has so far been made. !f. 2fi rfi The best place to find a helping hand Is at the end of your own arm. fr Let's Help Mr. Kenney Hon. E. T. Kenney has been named by Premier Hart B.C. chairman of the second cross-Canada clothing drive in June. Mr. Kenney is known as a go-getter. When he puts his hand to the plough, the job is a success. Mr. Kenney, in his job, however, is going to require the help of each and every one of us. We're going to have to dig deep in cupboards and chests for clothing for the near-naked people of Europe. Old clothes aren't going to be sufficient. We're going to have to donate some good clothes. In other words, the time has come when we're all going to have to make some real sacrifices, as far as clothing is concerned. The world just hasn't the textiles at the moment to cover the back of millions in starving Europe. The eyes of a hungry and cold world are turning to this continent for help. This is the North American age. Because of it, Canadians and Americans have a great responsibility. We in Canada and the United States will fail the world in its hour of need unless we dig way down and give generously, cheerfully, willingly, even if it means less for ourselves. Vancouver If you're going to uplift anything, you'd better get under It. TAVERN HOURS EXTENDED, MORNING THIRSTS CAN NOW BE QUENCHED Prince Rupert cltl2ens who develop a morning thirst can now have It conveniently quenched. The city's eight beer parlors are back on their pre-war business hours of from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. . Under the new liquor control board ruling, which became effective in Prince Rupert today, the thirsty can also purchase bottled beer to take off the premises at beer parlors a practice that definitely was "out" during the drought-ridden war years. The ruling extending the hours of sale for hotel taverns was declared effective throughout the province as of May 1,' but local hotel keepers unanimously waited for official information to that effect to arrive from Victoria. The word, was received here Monday afternoon. During the war beer parlors throughout B.C. were allowed to remain open only between the hours of 2 o'clock p.m. and 11 p.m. Most Of them closed daring the supper hour from 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Many taverns remained open for even shorter hours as theit beer quotas were not sufficient to keep up with the demand. Local hotel men say that now,. Tiowever, their quotas are suf ficiently large to allow them to take advantage ,of the longer hours. "Actually, It won't make any difference f6r us from the standpoint of sales," one hotelman rsaid. "But it will be an Increased -service for the public." This particular hotelman said that he had just received a telephoned plea from a person asking If he could now take bottled beer from the premises. "I told him that :j most certainly could. He said he would be around immediately. I'm sticking around to see the transaction. It's the first beer I've sold off the place for four years," he exulted. As the purchaser came In a few minutes later and shouldered two cases of beer, the hotelman patted him benignly on the back. "If the police stop you," he said cheerfully, "you Just send them around to me. Tell them that I sold It to you." According to word received from Vancouver, slender beer quotas are responsible for tavern keepers there not taking advantage of the extended business hours. They will continue on the same basis as before.

Of a population of 1,050000. only 3.09 percept fell victims to the fever.

The sharing of the Income Tax burden by co-operatives and businesses operated by governments and municipalities, would either bring about a big cut in the personal Income Taxes which you pay or a reduction in the price of goods and services you buy from these Income Tax exempt concerns. You would profit either way If Income Tax were levied on the profits of co-operatives, crown companies and corporations operated by governments and municipalities, these Income Tax free organisations could follow either one of two courses: 1. They could reduce the price of their goods and services to the point where they would have no profits. They would therefore have no profits on which to pay Income Tax. The public would benefit by paying less for the goods and services which it bought. 2. They could decide to maintain their prices and to pay Income Tax on their profits. If Income Tax were thus collected on the profits of all such tax- JOIN THE I . T. P. A .

Strtll Aidrtit ii CMntHwn,. , rmpUytJh , exempt organizations, the total would amount to as much as 125 millions of dollars annually. The government could then, without decreasing its revenues, reduce the Income Tax by an average of $50.00 annually on every Canadian Income Tax payer. It is thus quite apparent that the collection of Income Taxes from co-operatives, and corporations owned by governments and municipalities, would mean extra dollars in the pockets of Canadians, no matter what course such presently tax-free organizations might take. Revision of The Income War Tax Act, insofar as it concerns co-operatives, will come before the current session of Parliament. It is of the utmost importance that such revisions shall bring tax equality to all groups. We urge that the income tax payers of Canada insist that their elected representatives in the House of Commons see that the heavy burden of Income Tax is shared by co-operatives and other presently tax-exempt businesses. The Income Tax Payers Association has no objection to the principles of co-operative trading. It should be the rigl't "J every Canadian to trade as he desires. Our objective is ensure that no section of business unloads its share of income taxation and cost of the war on other businesses or on iudinJual income tax payers. Report of Professor I.
