Big
Four
Meeting
With
Russia,
United
States,
Britain
ntl
France
agreed
that
foreign
ministers
of
the
"Big
Four"
should
meet
in
Paris
on
April
25,
there
are
strong
grounds
for
hope
that
progress
will
be
made
along
the
thorny
paths
leading
to
the
conclusion
of
durable
European
treaties.
There
have
been
many
problems
which
the
foreign
ministers'
deputies,
with
the
best
will
in
the
world,
have
been
unable
to
resolve.
The
drawing
up
of
the
Italian
treaty
perhaps
presents
the
Imain
problem.
Where
is
the
boundary
to
be
drawn
in
the
neighborhood
of
Trieste
where,
while
the
city's
population
is
predominantly
Italian,
that
of
the
hinterland
is
as
predominantly
Yugoslav?
What
should
be
the
strength
of
the
Italian
navy,
of
which
Russia
is
reported
to
be
claiming
a
third
part?
How
much
reparations
can
Italy
pay
and
how
shoUld
these
be
allocated?
What
is
to
be
the
future
of
the
Italian
colonies?
Then
there
is
Bulgaria
where
the
United
Kingdom
and
the
U.S.A.
continue
to
withhold
recognition
of
the
regime
and,
therefore,
are
not
in
a
position
to
sign
a
treaty.
It
will
be
recalled
that
British
and
United
States
recognition
was
at
the
Moscow
"conference
last
autumn
made
conditional
on
the
inclusion
of
two
opposition
members
in
the
government.
Opposition
members
would
enter
only
on
conditions
unacceptable
to
the
governmentand
there
the
matter
rests.
Prospects
for
a
Romanian
treaty
would
doubtless
be
clearer
if
information
as
to
conditions
in
the
country
were
more
readily
available
outside.'
Meanwhile,
the
draft
treaty
with
Hungary
has
sinqe
April
8
been
the
subject
ofc
discussion
by
the
council
of
f6reign
ministers'
deputies,
meeting
in
London.
This
is
understood
to
be
1;h.e
first
occasion
the
deputies
have
discussed
this
matter.
there
remains
the
Finnish
treaty
which
concerns
the
United
Kingdom
and
'Finland
only.
There
is
so
far
no
news
of
discussions
on
this
question.
No
'Shortage
of
Buildings
Buildings,
buildings
everywhere
and!
still
a'
definite
shortage
of
reasonably
priced
and
readily
available
lfoufing
seems
to
be
the
situation
in
Prince
Rupert.
Fifteen
tenants
vyhof
were
thrown
out
of
their
quar-tersrin
the
Dyer
Apartments
following
last
week's
tragic
fire
were
having
difficulty
at
the
end
of
the
week
in
Ideating
new
dwelling
places
and
others
have
evidently
been
having
the
"same
trouble.
At
the
same
time
there
are
numerous
empty
wartime
houses
now
and
the
city
is
full
of
waibuilt
structures
some
of
which
might
be
admirably
fitted
for
at
least
temporary
shelter
pending
the,
availability
of
more
desirable
and
permanent
housing.
The
way
things
are
now
these
empty
structures
are
rapidly
deteriorating
into
eyesores
and
definite
menace
whereas
many
of
them
could
be
put
to
immediate
use
"were
it
not
for
arbitrary
regulations
and
technicalities.
Prince
Rupert
and
other
centres
along
railway
and
highway
out
of
here
are
splendidly
publicized
in
an
attractive
new
booklet
"Central
British
Columbia"
which
has
just
come
off
the
King's
Printer's
presses
at
Victoria
and
an
advance
copy
of
which
has
been
received
at
the
Daily
News
office.
Soon
10,000
of
them
will
be
delivered
here
for
distribution
to
tourists
who
will
be
here
during
the
summer
and
to
others.
As
for
Prince
Rupert
there
is
a
well-written
feature
article
setting
forth
in
a
concise
manner
the
various
attractive
features
of
the
city
and
neighborhood
as
well
as
its
advantageous
location
and
ready
equipment
for
use
as
a
world
commercial
centre.
Well-selected
pictures
include
an
aerial
view
of
the
city,
highway
scenes
and
pictures
of
the
dry
dock
as
well
as
industrial
shots.
Another
feature
is
a
large
map
outlining
the
route
of
railway
and
highway
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Prince
George.
The
Prince
Rupert
Public
Relations
Council
collaborated
with
the
British
Columbia
Government
Travel
Bureau
in
providing
material
for
the
booklet
and
will
undertake
the
distribution
of
10,000
copies
from
here.
"Central
British
Columbia"
is
a
distinctively
central
British
Columbia
district
production
and
there
will,
no
doubt,
be
appreciative
reaction
to
it.
Coalition
Cabinet
Premier
Hart
chose
a
former
attorney-general,
Hon.
Gordon
Wis-mer,
to
succeed
the
late
Hon.
R.
L.
Maitland,
says
Prince
George
Citizen.
No
other
lawyer
in
the
House
has
had
comparable
experience
with
Mr.
Wismer
who
is
also
recognized
as
a
leading
counsel
and
member
of
the
Bar
in
British
Columbia.
With
numerous
bills
awaiting
passage
through
the
legislature
before
its
closing
and
the
forthcoming
Dominion-provincial
conference
on
April
25
it
was
essential
that
Premier
Hart
have
at
his
side
forthwith
an
experienced
assistant
versed
in
constitutional
law.
.
Two
new
cabinet
positions
have
i
beerycreated
and
both
filled
by
members"
of
the"
Progressive
Conservative
wing
of
the
Coalition.
This
is
an
eminently
fair
distribution
of
port-,
folios
with
Hon.
H.
Anscomb
gaining
the
leadership
of
his
party.
The
objections
taken
to
the
appointment
of
Mr.
Wismer
to
the
cabinet
demonstrate
the
unsolidarity
of
the
present
Coalition
in
which
each
party
maintains
its
own
identity
and
separate
organization.
The
result
is
that
each
organization
is
watching
the
other
instead
of
concentrating
on
supporting
the
Coalition
and
its
leaders
or
directing
its
entire
fire
on
its
opponents.
It
is
now
clear
that
such
an
unsatisfactory
arrangement
can
not
long
continue
and
a
clear-cut
stand
must
soon
be
taken
as
to
the
permanency
or
otherwise
of
the
Coalition.
Should
Mr.
Hart
be,
called
soon
to
the
Senate,
as
is
persistently
rumored,
an
opportunity
will
be
available
for
a
new
clarification
of
the
present
understanding
between
the
Liberal
and
Progressive
Conservative
parties.
This
might
mean
the
creation
of
a
permanent
United
Provincial
party
independent
of
the
old
party
organizations
or
a
return
to
the
old
separate
parties.
In
any
case
it
will
likely
precipitate
this
autumn
provincial
wide
conventions,
a
realignment
of
political
affiliations
and
a
general
election.

In
laying
plans

here,
announcement
was
made
to
the
Hospital

by
lady

Miss

R.
N.,
that
the
first
floor
of
the

closed
after

I
because
of
a
shortage
of
nurses.
The
board
plans
to
join
a
national
appeal
t,a
former
nurses
who
are
now
married
to
return
to
professional
practice
In
order
to
relieve
the
critical
situation.
An
appeal
by
the
board
to
the
B.
C.
Nurses
Registry
has
brought
a
reply
that
the
Registry
Is
unable
to
assist
because
it
Is
"as
short
of
nurses
as
at
any
time
since
this'
service
was
Instituted."
Miss
Mooney
told
Friday
night's
board
meeting
that
three
or
four
nurses
are
leavin;
their
positions
at
the
local
hospital
shortly
and
that
she
"has
absolutely
no
prospects
In
view
for
getting
more."
"I
shall
have
to
close
the
first
floor
on
the
first
of
May
while
other
members
of
the
nursing
staff
take

she
said.
"Som?

that

Advertisements
In
newspapers
throughout
western
Canada
have
failed
to
bring
any
answer
to
the
nurse
shortage,
Secretary
Harry
W.
Birch
told
the
meeting.
In
line
with
a
suggestion
advanced
by
the
Registered
Nurses
Association
in
Vancouver,
to
whom
the
local
board
appealed,
an
appeal
may
be
launched
to
net
former
nurses
to
return
to
I
the
profession.
I
The
fact
that
many
trained
!
nurses
are
leaving
their
Jobs
to
!
get
married
Is
a
major
contribut-
lng
factor
to
the
shortage,
In
the
j
opinion
of
the
Registered
Nurses'
i
Association.
'
In
the
meantime,
the
local
Hospital
Board
Is
endeavoring
to
get
information
concerning
the
I
requirements
for
establishing
a
I
nurses'
training
school
in
connection
with
the
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital.
The
Board
seeks
Information
on
the
en-i
trance
requirements
of
student
nurses.
Requirements
Are
Too
Hijh
Dr.
L.
W.
Kergin
expressed
ihe
opinion
that
entrance
requirements
for
prospective
students
should
not
be
too
high,
otherwise
many
girls
who
would
make
good
nurces,
but
who
have
not
their
senior
matriculation,
would
be
barred
from
the
profession.
"If
you
Insist
on
senior
matriculation
you
will
bar
many
girls
In
the
north
who
haven't
the
opportunity
to
take
senior
matriculation,"
he
said.
Board
members
were

A
spmm
Professor
J.
L.
McDougall
of
Queen's
University
has
informed
a
special
committee
of
the
Senate,
that
if
co-operatives,
crown
companies,
government
and
municipally
owned
corporations
were
taxed
on
the
same
basis
as
other
businesses,
they
would
pay
up
to
125
millions
of
dollars
in
Income
and
Excess
Profits
Taxes
annually.
This
means
that
125
millions
of
potential
taxes
are
not
being
collected.
This
additional
burden
is
thrown
on
.Other
businesses,
big
and
small,
and
on
individual
income
tax
payers.
It
is
the
equivalent
of
$50.00
for
every
individual
income
tax
payer
in
Canada.
It
this
125
millions
of
dollars
of
revenue
were
collected,
the
Department
of
National
Revenue
could,
without
reducing
its
revenue,
wipe
out
the
personal,
income
tax
on
1,423,000
taxpayers
with
incomes
below
$1800.
A
New
Danger
Has
Arisen
This
situation
is
in
danger
of
becoming
worse
instead
of
better.
A
Royal
Commission
has
recommended
that
profits,
if
paid
out
as
patronage
dividends
to
customers,
should
be
treated
as
an
expense
in
computing
taxable
income.
If
this
recommendation
becomes
law,
any
business
could
then
pay
out
all,
or
practically
all,
of
its
profits
as
patronage
dividends,
leaving
nothing
to
tax.
There
can
be
no
objection
to
the
payment
of
patronage
dividends.
That
should
be
the
right
of
any
business.
Bnt
as
long
as
there
is
a
tax
on
income
or
profits,
all
profits
must
be
subject
to
income
tax.

INCOME
TAX
PAYERS
EARNING

OR
LESS
dividends
should
be
paid
only
from
taxed
profits.
To
deduct
patronage
dividends
before
computing
taxable
income
would
undermine
the
whole
income
tax
structure.
The
result
would
be
an
increased
burden
of
income
taxes
for
individuals.
Unloading
the
Tax
Burden
on
You
The
rapid
expansion
of
co-operatives
during
recent
years
of
high
taxation
has
been
due
to
the
f.ict
that
they
have
been
able
to
escape
paying
income
tax.
Should
this
tax
inequality
be
allowed
to
continue?
If
so,
this
country
will
witness
the
expansion
of
great
tax-free
co-operatives
and
the
gradual
elimination
of
tax-paying
privately-owned
business.
That
will
mean
millions
more
in
income
tax
revenue
lost
to
the
government.
Can
individuals
be
expected
to
shoulder
this
extra
burden
of
taxation?
Revision
of
The
Income
War
Tax
Act,
insofar
as
it
concerns
Co-operatives,
will
come
before
the
current
Session
of
Parliament.
It
is
of
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
fairly
by
all.
The
Income
Tax
Payers
Association
has
no
objection
to
the
principles
of
cooperative
trading.
It
should
be
the
right
of
every
Canadian
to
trade
as
he
desires.
Our
objective
'is
to
ensure
that
no
section
of
business
unloads
its
share
of
income
taxation
and
cost
of
the
war
on
other
business
or
on
individual
income
tax
payers.
