UITAWA. Ont“ April 10-(Bpec- lal)—A new vessel of 1.300 tons gross and with a tested speed of 12 knots has just been secured to replace the S. S. John Cabot for cargo and passenger traffic be- tween Charlottetown and St. John's, Newfoundland, it was an- nouncad today.

ration of the ship which was launched recently from a Pacific Coast shipyard and ls now en route to Charlottetown via the Panama Canal. is subsidized to the amount of 54,000 this year b the

steamship subsid branch o the Department of de and Com- merce. '

Originally built for general

trade on the China coast, the ves- sel which will bear the name of "Island Connector", was not re- quired for this use. and turned over to the War Assets Corpora- tion. Following representations made by James Lester Douglas, Liberal member for Queen's and Senator J. E. Sinclair" as to the needs of Prince Edward Island for a boat of this type the ship was re-asslgned to the Prince Edward Island-Newfoundland run.

Well Equipped

The “Island Conn tor" is built in accordance to oat modern shipbuilding practice and is eoulp- ped with cold storage facilities. cabins for l2 passengers specially-

built accommodation for cattle and other livestock, and ample cerso holds

Present lam call for a sailing from Char ottetown to St. John's every three weeks. ‘Iheae plans may be revised,‘ since Captain J. A. Keenan of the Department of Trade and Commerce, and S. C. Annett, traffic manager for Clarke Stearnahlps have left Ottawa for Charlottetown to discuss condi- tions with P. E. l’. shippers and make arrangements ’ for docking facilities and schedules.

It is expected that lng new “Island Connector" will sail from Charlottetown on the maiden voyage of her new run early ln . '

Mr. DOUZBBS was much gratified that arrangements for the new boot were completed satisfactorily.

"Its a brand new boat and should give excellent service for years", he said. “The old Cuhot was not dependable and broke down several times. resulting ln considerable inconvenience to all concerned."

OIl its first voyage the new ves- sel will carry a cargo of livestock and agricultural produce, includ- ing such items as horses, (rattle, young pigs, cheese, butter, eggs. potatoes, turnips and other farm produce.

It is possible that should the new vessel make better time than is at present estimated, it will call at other ports in P. E. 1. and New- foundland. These matters will be regulated as time goes on. Agents for the new ship are being ap- pointed this week.

(Re laceinent of the "John Ca- bot" y a new steamer, due to arrive here the latter part of this month, was announced some days ago in The Guardian on the auth- ority of the Provincial Govern- ment. The "Cabot" has seen cold to the Chinese Government.)

(Special to The Guardian)

CYITAWA, April l0 —Therc up- pears to be general unanimity in he support of the Government bill creating Canadian nationalism and the abandonment of British and French alignments. hdlr. Donald Fleming, Progressive Conservative from Toronto was applauded by all sides of the House when he said Canadians needed "more pride in Canada" and a greater sense of achievement on the part of our country and our people." They were not conscious of being Canadians. "This country is finding its soul, a soul born of sacrifices." lie add- ed. "I for one am an optimist for Canada.

Tax Changers

Far-reaching changes in the In- come War Tax Act and the Excess Profits Tax Act. were urged in the special senate committee by M, L. Gordon K o! C. of Toronto, fol‘ the joint committee of the Canad- ian Bar Association and the Domin- ion Association of Chartered Ac- countants.

Chief of these was the committee's recommendation the establishment of n board of tax commissioners to hear and determine all appeals from assess- ments, and such other matters as may he referred to the Board by

joint for

tho Ministei; of National Revenue. Declaring that because nf the increased burden imposed or the

Deputy Minister and his staff in recent years it was essential that appeal procedure be fundamentally changed, the joint committee urged that the suggested hoard should establish the rules and procedure under which such appeal might be heard.

Other Functions

Othci" functions of the suggested board would be: that its decisions be made public; that the hoard hold hearings, at various points throughout Canada at which tax- payers may appear; that the board may review any question of fact or law or the exercise of any dis- cretion conferred on the Minister by the Act; that a further appeal shall lle to the Exchequer Court of Canada from any decision oi’ the proposed board on an appeal from an assessment.
