Norway out of the Atlantic alli- llwe. now seems to be concentrat- 1118 I large pdrticnof her props- ganda effort against extension cf American influence in the Mediter- ranean and Middle East. I

Although the Italian Government apparently is determined to join the Pact. conslderabl- nervousness is indicated by the violence of po- lice reaction in Rcme- against Communist anti-alliance demon- strators.

American observers described the forcecxcrted Saturday by police clubs s» " mes y.” "m. mt that it was directed against demon- strators and American press re- presentatives indisdriirtinctely gives an indication cf the police stat, of mind. It must be remembered. however. that the Communists themselves created the atmosphere by repeated threats of revolution and by the maintenance of large and well armed guerrilla. forces. The government cannot be sure lust which demonstration might Is the signal for a major effort.

Turkey. through inquiries in Bri- tain and the United States re- garding the possibilities‘ of a Med- iterranean pact, also has attracted increased Russian fire. The Soviet Government has asked an explana- tion. just as it did of Norway and Denmark in connection with pthe Atlantic pact. Ewen before the note arrived, however. the ‘Iurkish ans- wer had been given. On Feb. 2s her major opposition party an- nounced support cf the Govern- ment's foreign policy and of co- operation with the United States. She is welcoming an increase in the number of military instructors attached to the American advisory mission, and looking forward to re- ceipt in a. few weeks of two Am- erican destroyers, aud of two more during the summer. "

Meanwhile, Turkey is maintain- ing such balance as possible in her relations with Russia. ‘rho two countries are rec-operating on con- struction within Russia of a. dam on the Arras River controlling water in both countries, with the Turks paying their share. Efforts to obtain the release of ~ Turkish fishermen seized recently by R1113- sia near the Black Sea border are being conducted. in a. non-hyster- ical atmosphere.

But the Minister of Defence has recently reiterated the emphasis Turloey places on enlarging and im- proving her anned forces with Am- erican cid, and their determina- tion to defend the cosmtrys ter- ritorial integrity under “any and all conditions."

Iran reports an intensification of Russian propaganda against her since Feb. l9. when sh; rejected Soviet complaints against her ties with Britain and America. Her ambasadoo" to the United States re- ports greet anxiety, but gives no indication of any backdown.

Iran is receivingmilltary sup- plies from the United States re- gularly under a $3,000.00) surplus property credit. One of the next shipments will include 46 ‘Thunder- bolt fighters now being recondition- ed in Germany. Two shiploads cf American arms. munitions and transport equipment. gfluding some light tanks, already ve ar- rived. ~

Reports of Soviet and Soviet-al- lied izoop movements in the Bal- kans near Greece and Yugoslavia are also considered a part oi’ this Russian warning to the Middle East and Mediterranean countries against tying their futures to the Western powers.

But in most of them the die al- ready ia cast. and an actual mili- tary ‘alliance would merely form- alize a fact. .

Income Tax Appeal

The form of Notice of Appeal to the Income Tax Appeal Board was established in Part II of the Can- ada Gazette, dated February 23rd, 1949. --

Tlie Board's jurisdiction ls limited

to appeals fromtassess {Innis for income tax made in respect of the 1946 and subsequent taxation years. It should be noted that the juris- diction is confined to income tax and does not include excess profits tax. » Under the Act a taxpayer who dls- putes an assessment of income tax by the Minister files a Notice of Objection, and this must be done within two months after notice of the assessment is mailed to him.

If he receives a ‘reply confirming cr varying the assessment. or if he receives no reply within six months. he can appeal to the Income Tax Appeal Board. His right to appeal under the original provisions of the Act expired at the end of three months after he had been notified that the Minister confirm- ed or varied the assessment. The Notice of Appeal was to be in the form determined by the Income Tax Appeal Board.

However, the Board did not be- come operative until January 1st. 1949, and it followed that those who had filed a Notice o! Objec- tion and intended to appeal could not do o within the time required because the Board had not deier- mined the form of Notice of Ap- peal. Parllament, therefore, by on amending Act in 1948 extended the time for perfecting the appeal in such cases to ninety days after the form cf the Notice of Appeal had been published in the Canada Gaz- ette. Thls publication occurred on February 23rd. 1949. and the time begins to run from that date.

It should be noted that a taxpay- er appeallng from the assessment or re-aasessntcnt by the Minister should send his Notice of Appeal to the Minister and not. to the Income Tax Appeal Board. The Act pro- vldes that. after receipt of the Not- ice of Appeal. the Minister is to for- ward to the Board the Notice of Appeal and all other relevant docu- manta. ~Some taxpayers have al- ready wrltten the Board direct ln connection with an appeal and the Board thinks it wise to draw atten- tion td this provision in the Act. The Board's offices will be at ass Mackenzie Avenue, Ottawa. How- ever. sittings of the Board will not be restricted to Ottawa. It is planned to hear appeals at all the , inclpal centre throughout Can- ada. The number of these sittings outside Ottawa will, of course, be detarmined by thehumber of ap- pealsto be dealt with‘ in each area. Each appellant wilLbe given due notice sf the time andmlace of the hearing of his appeal. The matter of expen and convenience to the taxpayer will be ‘taken into COIF alderatlon in fixing the place of hearing.”

Wages; i‘ lagged Behind Cosi- ’_ of l.ivin_g_ in 1948

(By Tbs Canadian Press)

OfITAWA. _ March e11 - --W‘hiie the oversee Canadian last year mau- aged to stretch his weekly pay cheque "fairly well.” there wasn't quite enough in his pay envelope to meet ‘the rlae in, prices. the lzureau of Statistics reported to-

_ay. t , - .

Canadian labor calmed $7,130.- 000-000 during 1848, an increase of $895,000,000 or 14 per cent over tlimlflls 0i the preceding year.

At the tame. time the cost-cf- livlng index during the year aver- aged 14 per cent higher than in 1947. the same increase as the to- tal labor income.

"It would appear that purchas- ing power of labor income in the aggregate was fairly well main- tained. although average weekly earnings tended to lag slightly be- hind rising consumer price levels," said the Bureau.

Larger sums were paid cut- in salaries and wages in all indus- tries except forestry. in which there was a drop of four percent.

In December, labor income total- led $618.000.000 a’ decline c1415.- 000,000 from the November flgirre. but an increase of $67,000,000 or 12 per cent above December. 1941. 'Average weekly earnings of hour- ly-rated persons employed by lead- ing manufacturers totalled $39.46 at Jan. 1, a drop of $2.01 from the Dec. l figure of $41.47. but a rise of $629 over the Jan. l, 1948 total 0f $33.17.

New Experiment In Freight Car loading_l_3_y C.N.R.

MONCTON. N. 3., March IT-A new experiment in freight ear loading in the Maritimes is being carried out by the Canadian Na- tional Railways. Eds-as- A. Robert- son, general superintendent of transportation for the Atlantic Re- gion of the company.- reported here today. s The device which will securely anchor packages in nib-divisions within the freight car so that they they will not shift in transit, was designed by c. N. R. engineers and is so simple that it can be set up or removed within fifteen min- ‘Lites.

Cables are stretched along the side walls of the car attached to counter-sunk plnions. Bolted to the cables, wooden guides are ver- tically suspended from roof to floor at measured distances. When s. section has been loaded, wooden crossbars the width of the car are inserted into the guides on each aide and they secure the pack- ages and prevent shifting.
