The cor ferry "Abegweit? will leave for lvloritreai the lo/tter par of the week to go into dry dock at Montreal. During her overhauling, the “Prince Edward island" will be on the Borden-Toi-mcntine route.

The "Abegweit" went into service between Borden l/nd ormentine last A-iuust and, acoo to the contract between her builder; and the Government, i; entitled to free repairs for the first year she is in service, It was. therefore, considered a prudent step to have the big ice- breaker overhauled wffien it could be done wit-him the terms of the contract and before the heavy pix-rumor traffic.

The world's largest ice-breaker car ferry. the "Abegweit" has accommodation for 60 automobiles, l9 freight oars, and 950 pessemera. With a gross tonnage of 7,000, she is 375 feet long, and has a speed of 16% knots. Her eight Diesel" electric engines develop 12,000 horse power.

The Notional Employment Office in Charlottetown, is already noting a. shortage of skilled labourers. and especially carpenters. It would appear from present indications, that every available carpenter in the Province, will be working be- fore the end of May. Practically all carpenters who live in the vicinity of Charlottetown are busy. and efforts are being made by the National, Employment Office, to bbtiiri“ fifllﬁflifﬁ trio who are still unemployed. There are a number of labourers still Oil the idle list. but these too are being gradually absorbed into construct- ion and other work.

U. S. Gov’

t Move Is

Seen E n co u raging Imports Prom Canada

OTTAWA, May 5—(CP)—Ti1e United States Government has eliminated tho Canadian eight- per-cent sales tax in its customs calculations. u high Rcvonub [De- partment official disclosed tonight.

This will mean a scaling down in the price the American import- er must pay for Canadian goods and was seen by Canadian bank- ing, revenue and finance officials es an encouragement to the export of goods to the United States and to the flow of American dollars to Canada.

The action was described by Donald Gordon. deputy governor of the Bank of Canadians "a move in the right direction"—e. levelling in the balance of trade between the two countries.

A Revenue Department official said he had received notification through diplomatic chann that the U.S. Customs Departme t has pieced a. new interpretation on U. S. customs law which "always", had considered the Canadian sales tax as part of the foreign value price of imported goods.

The tax was introduced during the First World War and now is

at its highest point, said the rev- enue‘ official.

He explained the application of the tax in US. customs this way:

A Canadian article imported by l. U. S. merchant and valued at $100 would be valued at the horde: at $108 and duty applied accord- ingly. Under the new inter-protot- ion, the $8 would be eliminated and the duty applied on the orig- incl $100. .

The revenue official said he be’- lioved William Johnson. United States customs commissioner, had been responsible for the new in- terpretation, following the policy of lifting trade barriers in line with the Geneva. ‘In-ode Pact.

Elimination of the eight-per- cent sales tax would have no ef- fect on the 25-per-cent tax WlllClI the Canadian Government brought into force last Nov. 17 on a vari- ety of durable consumer and iux-, ury goods. U. S. customs still will continue to add this tax to their calculations ~wiiere applicable.

Actually. he declared, Canada did not export very many goods under this class. which includes automobiles, to the United States market.

pool and not come directly to Can- ada. from Washington. While $33.- 500,000 is e small amount compar- ed with total British purchases in Canada-which run_ around $20.- 000000 a month for wheat and flour and more than $5,000,000 w. month for bacon-Britain is able to offset these purchases to a con- sidereble extent by sales of own products to Canada. Washington dispatches said that the pricesum assisted country pays
