IDNDON. Aug. 20-(0?) -The Foreign Office announced tonight that round-table conferences with Arabs and Jews on the future of Palestine wi-ii begin Sept. 9 London. In Jerusalem the exiled Grand Mufti was named to head the Arab delegation to the tad-rs

cepted the invitation to the con- ference on condition that no Jews sit at the talks. but did not, make the acceptance conditional on the Mufti being invited. f

There was no official comment immediately in London regarding the Arab request on the Mufti. who has been accused of Axis collaboration.

Invitations have been forwarded. the Foreign Office announcement said. to the governments of the Arab states. to the Jewish Agency for the Holy Land and to the Arab hi-gher executive of Palestine.

The date was disclosed after l conference here between Prime Minister Attiee and Foreign Sec- retary Bevin.

This was the first formal In- vitation that had been extended to the Jewish Agency although Colonial Secretary Hall had con- ferred wl-th agency leaders re- garding the conference.

Thragellcy executive said lrist week ill Paris that it would not take part ill the talks if they were based on the semi-partition plan proposed by Anglo-Americas! ex-i ports,

Separate talks with Jews and Arabs are probable and it, was rc- portcd by official British sources that Mr. Attlee would address Arab state representatives.

In accepting the British in- vitation to the conferences. the Arab higher executive rejected High Commissioner Sir Alan Clin- nf-righnms suggestion that Arab delegation be extended be- yond the membership of the cx-. ecutivc.

Bracken Charges Bungling With lie-operatives

WINNIPEG, Aizg. 26 __ (c3) _ (Advance) — John Bracken, Pro- gressive Conservative leader, to- night charged the government Wm, "indecision and bungling" in it; Policy qf taxation of w-opelativcs and said the four-year wheat agreement with Britain would have t0 be revised ivitiun two yceis.

Ln an address recorded for broadcast from a Wirnlpeg radio station. Mr. Bracken said the gov- ernment was "still floundering" in its housing plans and its program in the production and labor fields had broken down completely

Ho declared the Government's move to tax co-operatives B35 "al- most valueless" as a taxation meas- ure. "as a measure of justice he competing companies. it is decep- tive: and B-s for its being zoir let,-

The law respecting taxadon of tab-operatives had been amended in 1930, when the govemmmt an- nourned oo-ooeratives were not to be subject to the tax. Then, in i942. the “government tried to make olit that the l oil-operatives were taxable under this same law."

"But it neither enforced its views, nor did it change the law." he said. “Tile izh/enxrner-f proceed- ed on its vacilafiing and uncertain. course. It required the western pools to keep hack a very consider- able amount of money belonging to their members. which they would have geld out in patronage divid- ends ad thc government allowed them to do so."

The Taxation Bill Whl‘i\ had just passed the Commons would make the pools nay the wartime tax rates for the last two year's, 1044 and i945. The governments policy was to "make the Dfluis pay five to l0 tit-tics as much in taxes for pach of those two yeirs as it was going to make them pay from now on."

Mr. Bracken said this discrim- ination could not be justifird and. the money the government pro-l posed to collect for 1944- and 1945i was patronage dividends belonging to the farmers and conswluently‘ not taxable.

In affect, the government hadl said to the : "You can do oust or other o two thin . You can‘ undertake at the beg nning of a. year to pa interest to you: mem- bers and t us esca taxation. but if you don't do t at, you will be taxed."

This was equivalent to saying: "We want to destroy you as co-op» erative enterprises; we want to- make you investment ent-r-rprlscsl If you pay out all your raving; r.

patronage dividends. We will t x you-b

i

ut if you Mom-lee so Y0“ can pay them out in the form of interest, you will not be taxed."
