Alarming Revelations

The official suinniary of the special audit and investigation of the city Accounts conducted by Messrs. 1). F. Archibald and W. A. Morrell, appearing in today's Guardian, will cause very grave concern to our taxpayers and citizens generally. The sunnnury is a very able and com- prehensive outliiie of the findings given in the detailed report. and revtals a shortage in City funds amounting to over $69,000. The auditors go on record as having discovered an alarming series of irregularities, including misappropria- tion of funtls, dt-liberate juggling of accounts. issue of unrecorded debentures from which the City received no money, falsification of ac- counts in the printed reports, forged signatures of members of the Finance Committee on vouchers, and irregular endorsements of cheques which would appear to be forged.

The tabling of the report at last night's meet- ing of the City Council was followed by resolu- tions referring it to the attention of the Attor- ney General and dismissing the City Clerk from office.

In order to get a correct picture of the sit- uation the auditors had to delve into the re- cords back to 1932. They report that the Mayor and Finance Committee were unanimously behind them in their investigations and did everything possible to facilitate an unbiased audit. Un- fortunately, they have also to record that through negligence or otherwise the external ~auditor's report of 1932 was not acted upon by the Council then in office. which, if adopted, would have saved the City thousands of dollars. Had aciion been taken at that time, the prob- ability is that the irregularities now unveiled would not have occurred.

Of the $69,436.43 shortage as at January is, 1939. there are offsetting items of $5,000 to be recovered from the City Clerk's bond, and some 57,000, apparently conscience money paid into the office since the investigation started. This leaves a loss of some $57,000, part of which. the auditors suggest, may be recovered by dun- ning defaulting taxpayers for shortages on their assessments paid during the period under re- view.

v A valuable feature of the report is the analy- sis which is made of defects in the system of recounting, tax collecting and financing carried on, and it is to be hoped that the recommend- ations \vith regard to these matters will be im- plemented, promptly and to the letter.

Some Traffic Dangers

7 rrhuunrirls of visitors will be in Charlotte- town next week for the celebration of the Con- federation Conference anniversary, and traffic mishaps are likely to occur unless extra care 'u taken both by motorists and pedestrians. If in addition to making the celebration the most spectacular event in the Island’: history we can make it free of accidents as well, it will be I double source of satisfaction.

The City Police-will have the assistance of the R. C. M. P. in supervising traffic next week, but the co-operation of the general public is ne- cessary as well. Motorists are expected to ob- serve all stop signs and other regulations with special care. They should particularly avoid parking their cars too close to hydrants, or at improper angles. They should leave nothing in their cars in the way of dothing, etc., unless the doors are securely locked.

Pedestrians are reminded of the danger of crossing streets indirectly, of emerging from be- hind parked vehicles which obscure their view of an approaching driver, and of making and- den dashes in front of approaching cars.

Attention should also be paid to the necessity

‘ of impressing upon children the risks run by taking foolish chances, either on foot, cycle or roller skates. Roller skating is a popular sport

' with youngsters this summer, but it is one which is attended by constant danger when exercised on busy thoroughfares.

‘As an example of the variety of problems with which the Canadian Government is faced as a result of Germany? efforts to enlarge her export trade, the Ottawa correspondent of the London Times gives two striking cases which

, have come to light. Gennan interests are propos- ing to sell electrical equipment to the value of $300,000 to the Provincial telephone system of Manitoba at low prices and to accept in pay-

have also been putting money into Canadian securities. but not to the same cxtent_ in earlier days the people of the‘ United States, helped by their proximity and similar natural conditions were able to “get on the ground floor.” and they continue to show their practical interest in Canadian industrial development. it may be hoped that the fresh interest which is being shown in London in the opportunities for investment offered within the’ Empire will be re- flected in increased British participation in Can- adan industrial and other enterprises.

Japanese Propaganda

The Japanese American Review, a journal devoted to furthering Japanese interests in the United States, makes light of the recent trouble at Tientsin, which is represented as being only another incident in a long wrangle over Britain's “shielding of Chinese assassins and covertly backing of arson and terrorism." Jhpaifs acts of aggression are glossed over and stress is

interests of Japan and United States in the Pacific and in Asia. It would, it is suggested, he “a short-sighted policy for either country to im- pede the co-operation between the two coun- tries which should be a natural factor.” In theI same issue appears the text of a speech by the: late Hirosi Saito, Japanese Ambassador to Vi/ashington. emphasizing the “deep vener- ation” of the Japanese people for Abraham Lin- coln.

Yet it is only a few days ago that the Japa- nese Premicr, Baron Hirauma, on the eve of the second anniversary of the still undeclared war Japan is making in China, outlined apolicy which was as much directed against American as against British influence in the Far East. “Only when the Oriental peoples are united without a trace of foreign exploitation,” he dc- clared, “can a. new order in east Asia he estab- lished permanently.” This involved Japan's "complete dominance" of Chim. an objective which he predicted would be attained within a few months.

To the question, “Do you happen to pay taxes?” sent out by the famous Gallup Poll. 25 per cent of the American people (or of those interrogated) gave the answer "No" Thus the futility of preaching. Since the days when Sydney Smith wrote his famous essay on taxation down to the present time people have been told about the iniquity of hidden "taxes. Again and again statesmen and publicists and news- naners point out how taxation bears upon all of us, how it starts with the cradle and ends with the l§rave—ends, indeed. with taxes on a tombstone. Said President Roose- ve‘t himself only a. few months

ago: “Taxes are paid In the sweat of every man who labors." Yet here is one out of every four

Americans thinking that he doesn't, pay taxes! They are thinking of course, of the income tax. Of di- rect taxes. The tnx—gatherer didn't come around to them for in- come tax. or for any other kind or tax, so they decided they were getting off scot-free. They didn't realize that through the customs tariff. plus a lot of other—tolls, they paid taxes on their food and /fuel and shelter; paid them on what they ate and drank and upon what they wore: upon practically every item of their own and their family

the Gallup Poll or something like it wouldn't: have got pretty much 8 same answer in Canada that it got in the United States Peb- pie Just don't realize that they are being taxed-certainly don't realize the extent to which they are being taxed. Those who pay income tax complain about it, but. easy. mat- ter of fact, the income tax provides not more than 25 per cent of the revenues. of the Federal Govern- ment. The remalnlng 75 per cent come from indirect or “hidden taxes," with too many of us not as much as realizing that we're pay- 1!18 them. It is hardly a case where ignorance is bliss. —Ottawn Journal.

It In only natural that the put- t forward of the date of the Brl lsh naval maneuvers in the North see from pteni to August should call to mind those critical days of July; 1914, when It/Dr. Wilson Churchill. then First Sea Lord, announc that the Brit- ish fleet ,whlch ha just been as- sembled for a grand review by the King. would not be disbanded and would remain concentrated, ready for action in the North Sea. The crisis at that time was already acute—although the public hardly realized lt—and while the avail- ability of the fleet and its readi- ness for prompt action proved to be one of the decisive factors in the war to come. the relative naval strength of Great Britain and Ger- many moblllzatlon of the fteet did not in any sense, serve as ii deterrent

not consulting his physician before giving hmself up to the life of an invalid. The patient admitted that he did not get out of breath easily and there was no swelling of the feet. The friend advised that he should have his heart examined

A heart examination revealed the heart, murmur but not the slightest enlargement of the heart. He was able to go up and down 20 steps with an increase of only 20 beats of the heart and the heart was back to normal in less than two minutes.

The physician gave him his find- lngs and also sent a copy to the patients physician. His physician wrote the patient to get up and around and increase his daily ex- ercise — walklns by at least one block each week. Instead of it lffo in bed for six months to ii year, this man was able to resume work in three months and really could have done so in one month less.

The thought then is to judge the heart by the amount; of work it can do and how long It takes to return to its normal note after do- trig a measured amount of exercise. The fact that there is a murmur present can be forgottt-en if the heart returns to normal within a. specified time. Usual test is to walk upstairs, or jog fifty steps stationary run, or sit on heels 25 times. If heart returns to its nor- mal rate in 2 1-2 to 3 mlnutm, the murmur. even if due to a. leaking valve. is not interfering with the
