PARIS, April ’23-At a. moment when Canada and France are dis- cussing a new commercial accord. conversations of a. highly important- nsture have begun between this country and Britain which, it is be- lieved, will lead eventually to a treaty replodng the co-yenlr-old Franco-British trade agreement.

A disability pension after fifteen years shall be 60 per cent. the pen- sion which would be payable to such teacher if he or she had just com- plated 40 years of service and in the case of 20 years sctusl service, pen- sion shall be 100 per cent. of the aforementioned pension.

In no case shall the superannua- tion allowance granted under the Act be luvs than $865 per annum.

Dr. MscMillan asked if the pro- motor had any idea. of the amount required at the outset to be paid by the Government.

Hon. Mr. Wright said there would not bc required a vcry large amount for the first ton years.

Hon. Mr. Wright explained that the special provision for Prince of Wales teacher was because these hcrs received no Allowance from tho Oity of Charlottetown, as do the city teachers under the School Boa-rd.

(British United Press)

LONDON, April 23—Sta.rtling pro-

posals for the maintenance of the unemployed in Britain, which, it is mtimated, would add one shilling nine pence in the pound on the in- come-tax have been made by the general voullcll of the powerful trades union congress. Evidence ls to be submitted by the council to the royal commission on unemployment insurance popularly known as the dole and the plan will then be present- cd. It suggests a levy on all incomes to finance the dole and the abolition of‘ the present scheme by which the workers contribute part of their wag- es to unemployment insurance, and it would make unemployment a. na- tional charge. Under the proposed system every- body earning money would contribute to the upkeep of those without work; the higher the wage, the higher the contribution-until it would take the fbrm of a new income tax bur- den. In this connection, it is suggest- ed that one per cent should be charg- ed on incomes below $1,260 a. year, and a super-charge on unearned in- comes. The levy would be payable on gross incomes or gross profits and taken at the source. There would be no discrimination among workers and no testfor separating the ro- ccivers of the benefit from those un- employed for a. short time or those unemployed for a long time.

At least 200 members of the La- bor Party in the Commons are trade Unionists, a fact that gives the pro- posals great importance, but at the some time the opposition to such s. scheme would be formidable. Indeed, there is little doubt that the Con- servatives would like to fight the next general election, on this issue, since it is obvious that the great

External Receive- Impression of Indifference To Issues, States High Commissioner At St. George’s Day Ban‘ quet.

IORONID, Ont, April 28.-

The tendency of the external ob- server to receive a. wrong impression cf the British people throush We"! outward attitudes, habits and cus- toms, was remarked upon by $11" William Clark, High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, at the St. Georges Day banquet at Toronto to- night. Thelr peculiar sense of humor which suggests an indifference to grave issues, their dislike for show- ing emotion and instinctive hatred of any kind of a fuss, their studied at- tcnlpt at. outward indifference be- wlldcr the foreigner. and suggest an attltude toward grave issues which the Englishman may be very ial" from feeling, Sir William stated. While it may be admitted that the people of England do not yet realize the ex- tent of the work before them, this] does not. mean that the nation ls. slipping" into decadence. The vigor and resourcefulness which has al- ways characterized the race are still hers.

A great heritage ls that of the Eng- lishman, the Celt, the Roman, the Saxlm, the Dane and the Norman, making rich contributions to the en- tcrprise culture, and life of the great race. The blending of the races into one harmonious whole was com- pleted durlng the reign of Edward III.

It is a significant fact that just at this time, when the Elnglish ton- gue was once more establishing it- self as the medium of literature; when the English armies were al- ready fighting as national not as feudal forces; when the great polit- ical institutions of the natieu. were being formed; when the land evid- enccd the ﬁrst strong stirrings of na- tional life, that the English should then especially‘ have felt the need of a. patron saint to be the leader and champion and rallying point of

lauiiarly appropriate to the‘ English spirit. They chose a. warrior saint, as indeed they could hardly fall to do in those martial days, and they chose one whose legend endowed him particularly with the spirit of knight- errantry, the spirit of those who go out of their way to seek adventure for its own sake. The qualities of the great men of an heroic age, of the warrior kings, of the Elizabethan seamen, Hawkins, Froblsher, (Ere-n. ville, and Drake, qualities of pluck and moral courage which enable men to fa-ce heavy responsibilities, to form clear-cut decisions, to persist in courses they believe to be right, t created the success of older Eng- land. Youth and leadership are the things which still go together as in the Elizabethan days. “In a setting appropriate to this mechanical age, I hope we may note, in no spirit of boasting, but as a fact of which we have a. right. to be proud, that Great Britain holds the three supreme speed records in the air, on the water and on the land, records only to be achieved by the man who seeks high adventure, and ls prepared to stake all on his con- fidence in his own skill and nerve." The Efeat critic" M. AndrmSeig- fried charges the lmgllsh people with the loss of the cardinal virtue of vi- tality ,while still possessing patriot- ism and almost quixotic scrupulous- ness. “While it is true that for reas- ons largely beyond her control Brit. aln's share in world trade has fallen oil’, yet the decline is relative and not as some people seem to think, absolute. In actual fact British ex- Ports increased between 1924 and 1929 by roughly 8 percent and there is no reason why, if the economies now being effected in the cost of production can be continued, the ad- vance should not be resumed when
