Reported Russian Military Preparation Off Alaskan Coast

SEATTLE. July 23—(AP)—'I‘he United States coast guard cutter Perseus has just completed an of- ficial investigation of reported Rus- sian military preparations on a Bering Sea island four miles from American territory.

The Perseus’ officers were silent, but other sources said they made a thorough check of reports the So- viets were building an air base and berthing submarines at big Dio- mede Island.

Big Diomede is a soviet posses- sion four miles from Aniericnn- owned Little Diomede Island. and only 130 miles by air from Nome, Alaska.

oppiéfi Views. Unemployment Insurance Bill

OTTAWA. July 23-(CP)—Dia- metrically opposed views on the unemployment insurance bill were presented toda; to the Commons committee stu ying the measures under the chairmanship of Labor Minister McLavty.

The Curladiiin Manufacturers‘ Association urged the measure be

l

not ed this session because of the mportance of the bill, the need for full consideration, and

the substantial amount of novel and troublesome administrative work it would entail on the part of employers when they ivcre fo- cusing their attention on wui- pro- duction.

The C.M.A. urged that a saving scheme be instituted instead, in which uli contributions in respect to an employe would be earmark- ed for that. employee.

The Trades and Liibor Congress of Canada accepted the bill as a "splendid start," offering but, two small amendments. It contended this was an opportune time to start the scheme when employment was plentiful because of war orders. The Canridirin Hospital Council pressed that. hospital workers be not included in the scheme be- cause there was scarcely any un- employment, in this class and the amount contributed to the un- employment insurance fund bv the hospitals and their empioycs would he 0f relatively little benefit to hospital workers.

'I'he C.M.A. said the savings scheme was more preferable in Canada than the British or "pocl” type of plan.

‘ This means that persons in this high salary bracket will pay com- bined income and surtax at the rate of 90 per cent. The income tar: is the highest Britain ever has known: after the last war it was .0 per cent.

Sir Kirigsev said the increases in direct taxation imposed in Sir John Simon's budget last April would provide iii a full year the sum of 262,000,000. Raising the excess pro- fits tax to 100 pet" cent, which was announced rcceiitiv, will provide an

The British sales tax viilbe s1“- ed. and will not be a ulaiiirct lmupst as is the present one ill the uomlri- ion.

For instance, sir Kingsley could have selected either a tax on land values or a capital levy instead of the sales tax, but rejected them because of the far-rcacliin effect the stiles tax will have on t e gen- eral economic system.
