Britain And Ethiopia

The lTCClltly announced temporary agree- ment between Britain and Ethiopia carries res- toration of Ethiopia to normal self-dependence and sovseignty a great stride iurther.

lithiopizl was one oi the first victims oi Axis aggression and the first to be liberated. t his early Allied victory was won by British and British Empire troops, joined by Ethiopian bands some of which were organized by the late lllajoi- (jencral (then Lieutenant Colonel) Orde C. Wingate.

In the first days of liberation Ethiopia was rim by a British military administration, but soon the Emperor llaile Selassie was restored and lithiogiizltt intlcpcndcilce rte-established after five years of ltalian domination.

.-\n atfrecmcnt and a. military convention between lathiopia and Britain was signed in January, 1042. This defined Britain’s responsi- bilities in helping lithiopia get back onto her fcct, and also the rights and powers to be given :11 the llrittsh forces so that they could carry out their task".

Thcse powers were very considerable he- cause at that time llarshal Rnmmels army in the dcse" was at the peak of its might, and the pos ty of _lapaucse landings on the cast coast of Africa still had to be included in Allied strategic calculations

Under the new into-int zigrci-mcttt the railwav is now to be run by lithiopia, and Britain is to itiaititaiu within lithfotiizi onlr such military forces as the llritislt and lithiopiait Governments together agree as being ui-ccssary for maiutaiiting ordcr in certain lmrdcr areas.

A British llilitarv Commission was fortn- ed, which raised and trained a new Ethiopian

opened schools, and British police commission- ‘ers to set 11p an Ethiopian police force. The British Exchequer has been giving the Ethiopian Government substantial and regular financial assistance, and trade between Ethiopia 2nd her itcighboitrs was started up by the ef- forts of the Middle East Supply Council and the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation. New inlustries have been established such as wild rubber tapping, titanufacttiriug sacks and rope. and cotton textile weaving. One reason why it has been necessary for Ethiopia to depend so much upon the help of British experts and military is that the collapse of the corrupt Italian administration, after five years, left an administrative vacuum.

Pedigrec stock markets in Britain are boom- ing, ancl in the past few months pedigree breed- ing cattle have brought over $10,000,000 at auction. Two factors in the boom are tiurcltases and inquiries by Dominion breeders, and the desire of British farmers to improve their stock in readiness for a world demand for new blood. Typical examples of recent prices are 353-490 for a Fricsian bull, and $2,000 for a young Ayr- shire bull. National Farmers‘ Union experts say that the total value of cattle in Britain has risen beyond $750,000,000. Attstraliafs (lcmaitd is for more pitre-bred Ayrshire cattle. (Tanztda

Chapter 59, Statutes of Prince Edward Island 1940 (with amendments of I941, 1942, not af- fecting the general principle oi the Act), defines the property on which Succession Duty is payable, fixes the rates thereof. and namm the Provincial Treasurer as the of- ftcial res- for collection. A copy of this Act may be seen at the Public Library Charlottetown, or may be obtained by writing to the Deputy Provincial Secretary, Cher- lottemwn.

The revenue collected under the Succession Duty Act. shown each year in the Public Accounts. The amounts collected for the past three decades are as follows:

1814-1923 1934-1993 1934-1943

The increase in this province of amounts collected will show that due diligmce has been shown by the collecting officials commented. i

It, may be noted that no duties am payable on estates of less than $10,000 in cases where a widowwith a dependent child or children are concerned.
