ion was sccn in the boosting of State Department estimates to a total of $70,000,000-—alm0st $30,- 000,000 more than for the cur- rent year.

The President urged Congress to repeal the Johnston Act which prevents loans to foreign nations. and to approve the Bretton Woods Monetary Agreement which would set up an international bank for reconstruction and development to aid impoverished nations to get back on their economic feet.

It was clear from the President's message that even 1f the war roars along on all fronts through-out the fiscal year. war costs-and thus total costs-will be less than the all-time peaks of the pre- sent year.

These peaks are: total govern- ment spending of $l00,000,000,000; war spending of $89,000,000.000.

The reason for an inevitable dc- cline is that the nature of ‘ the war program has changed. The President said the army and navy row have about all of their "in- itldl equipment," and the $28,000.- 000000 will‘ construction program had faded to a mere $2,000,000,- 000 a year.

Budget director Harold D. Smith told reporters that the still- growrving merchant fleet is "lar- gely paid for."

Mr Roosevelt said the decline I sure to reduce Government tax collections. He proposed no chan- ges in tax laws now. but even un- dot" mcsent laws when the Gov- ernment spends less, corporations and divlduals receive Ins. Ind when they receive less, they pay lcss taxes.

Address to Grand Jlry

In his address to the Grand Jury the Chief Justice said it was unfortunate that still another ses- sion of the Supreme Court. was being held under the shadow of war. Under such circumstances. court sittings entailed hardships for Jurymen and especially for petit Jurymen. But it was essen- tial, the Chief Justice stated, that the administration of Justice should} continue even under conditions oft war. l His Lordship informed the Grand Jury there were only two indict- ments for them to consider and that, while there were the unusual number of l3 appeals from a Mag- istrate's decisions, practically all the cases were not of a serious na- ture. Unfortunately, one case was of a, very serious nature since there was an indictment charging Florence Elizabeth McNelll with

murder. Murder involves “malice afore- thouglit" while manslaughter is the “culpable killing of a human being without malice." Taking human K: bl’ gross negligence such as in the reckless driving of a car or in a reckless use of fire- arms, would be manslauBhl-H. H15 lmraahip stated. - “If one intends t0 cause the death of a. person killed. that is murder," the Chief Justice said. "If the offender merely means to cause bodily harm which he knows is likely to cause death. or if he is reckless as to whether or not the victim dies. that too is mur- der," the Grief Justice added. In the case of Florence Elizaq beth McNeill, the Chief Justice, said, he did not think they could, adduce from the evidence before, them that the accused intendedt to kill William (Ryan) McNeillJ But such conclusion on their part was not necessary for them to bring in a, true bill of murder against the accused. It was not. their duty to try the we bul merely to decide whether or not in their opinion this was a pru- be tried by a. etit jury.

The regular monthlly meeting of the Charlottetown Council of the Knights of Columbus was held last evening and was largely at- tended. The Grand Knight, R A. McDonald presided.

After routine business was dis- of, State Deputy Mr, Elmer Pineau of Summerside t ’ Mr. J. Alfred Doyle, chairman of the membership committee with a. certificate of honor upon his com- pleting the quota of new members for the Council during the first six months of the year. Following this the Grand Knight turned the chair over to the Lecturer, Mt". Robert Bradley. for the program on the good of the Order.

On taking over the chair the Lecturer called on Messrs Urban lVfcQuaid and Joseph Haley to come forward and after they sang "Rock A Bye Baby" the Deputy Lecturer, Mr DE. Noonan pre- sented them with silver spoons to commem ate a new arrival at their respective homes.

Mr. elvin McQuaid of the Souris Council followed with a very instructive tall: on insurance which was greatly enjoyed and which elicited many questions on the part of the members.

A hearty vote of thanks, moved by the Grand Knight and second- ed by the Treasurer, Mr. Thomas Creighan, was tendered to the speaker by the Lecturer.

Doughnuts and coffee were served and the meeting adjourned with prayer by the Rev. Louis A. Dougun.
