Appeal iicurl licars Argument In Tobacco Case

MONTREAL. Nov. 18—(OP)-- Court of Appeals heard argument today ou ah appeal against a Superior court judgment refusing n writ of prohibition to prevent trial of Thomas Parsons. accused of purchasing tobacco from the Liberty Tobacco hops. Limited. without paying the, provincial tax.

Aime Geoffriou. counsel for the provincial government, told (he court the only question for litiga- tion was whether the tobacco act imposing a 10 per cent tax on to- bacco ls valid. He. agreed that the provincial government could not. impose an indirect tax. but cited a Privy Council judgment in coit- tendlng that. the Quebec tax is indinci.

Earlier. Counsel W. A. man for the appellant that. the section which provides that tobacco brought iuto the province be taxable makes the im- post an excise tax. He added that under the British Noi"iii America Act. excise duties are resort-ed t1 the Dominion Government and also that articles maurfncturcd in one province must be admitted free into another.

Agreement 0n Bases ll. S. To Get From British

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1B—(AP) --The navy announced tonight that "all the British authorities concerned” had agreed upon the sites to be leased to the United mates for a chain of naval. air and Zlrmy bases stretching from New- foiindlaiid to British Guiana in south America.

At the same time it: was disclos- ed that the agreement provides for the joint use of both British and American facilities in some instances.

The department gave the first detailed outline of the powerful defence installations planned by the United States.

Plans for Bermuda provide, for example, for a land plane base, a. seaplane and naval base, a gar- rison for troops, island storehouses for explsoives. and improved har- bor facilities.

Patrol lane and seaplane bases commanding a wide expanse of the South Atlantic are to be installed in British Guiana.

The facilities at Newfoundland, commanding the North Atlantic approaches to the l\‘\1‘th American continent from Europe, will in- clude aii air and naval base and a site of approximately 160 acres for an army defensive force.

Leases upon all of the sites areto be obtained by the United States in exchange foi" the 50 ciestroyvcrs

traded several months ago to Great Britain. The announcement said that

agreement had iaecn reached upon

sites for bases in Bermuda. the Bali-aims. Jamaica arid Antigua St. Lucia. British Guiana, and

A strong protest against the transportation handles underwhicti Prince Edward Islm is laboring was made by Hon. R. B. Hanson. Conservative leader, in the I-Iouce of Commons on November 12 in the course of his sipccch on the Draft Address. Following is the text of his statements 0n thus subject, from H :

"I cannot. however, refrain from laying nomething about tho position of truck transportation in the pro- vince of Prince Edward Island. I want to draw the aitcntion of the Prime Minister to a condition in that Island, which gave him a ha- ven at one time. also of the Min- ‘stcr of National Defence IMr. Ra‘.- [stom who has a haven there now, and of my friends the hou. mem- bers from the counties of Queens and Kings.

"I refer particularly.‘ to a concil- tion that obtains there with respect. to the ability of the farme" of

Prince Edward Island to m t their products. I hold in my d a copy of Wllllb is the t-l".ar'- of union for the proviiivo of Prince

Edward Island, an ortiei" in cotincil passed at Windsor oii June 26. 1873, vtrit-h which I suppose every individual in that province is fam- iliar from childhood, but which, strange to say, I never heirrl men- tioned iii this house until now. I am sure the senior member for Queens (Mr. Douglas) knows that upon this charter of union the peo- ple of Prince Edward Island have

"For years Prince Edward Island has suffered because of its insular position. I well remember the agi- tation, extending over a long oer- "lod of years. for a 111m". ‘That hope was never l'(".lll2’(‘(. it never will be. But 1 ivmcziibcr that in 191i in Charlottetown Sir Robert Borden mode a great . in which lie said that Pri ward Island had never ixeii fuzr- i_v lflyjpJ by aiiv uo:"oz"i"i:n»."ri' iii the matter of tixitispo lou. He promised then and ti c"c ' would have a ear f esm u . and he did so. Since aen ue h. ' heard nothing more about a nel. The operation of than. ' was eumistcd to the

adiau National, and for a tune all went well. Titeu, with the. rhau character of transportation. 1 came into OIJEIMJCII in Prince Ed- ward Island, together \\'i’.i’l the rest

of Canada, motor i‘. 01- tatiou, using the . ‘ ccuib: - lion engine; and ..i this truck

competition it is no longer econom- ical to transport island products by rail for short hauls.

“This condition is apparent every- where, but the advantace to the primaw producer has not. reached the timid producer, who has a sub- staiitiel giievaiice 1111111115!» the Can- adian National, which operates this ferry for the government, and also against the government.

‘The position is this. A producer with a. truck desires to sell his load of potatoes, or oats, or whatever it may be. on the lIlBlllli-llld and bring back a return load of coal, hmiber, manufactured goods or aometlung also. Ho can got transport on the ferry for his motor truck, all right, but not on the basis of a private motor car. He must pay ferriagc oii his truck, railway freight on his ioaci of potatoes, fierriage on his truck when retina-ling and freight on his return load, the freight de- pending upon the classification of the commodity. The charge for a five-ton truck is $12 each way for the truck almie, or a total of $24. With a. three-ton load of commod- ities I am told that total charges for ferriage and freight both ways is about $50, in order to get across nine miles of water with a third class commodity.

Restraint of Trade

"I um sum this matter hu not been brought t.o tho attention of the Prim): Minister or it would have been remedied long ago. This was the first I had heard of it, at all events. and I am brhigiug it to the attention of the right bou, gentle- man and his colleagues. What would tho other provinces of Canada think of such a cost, which is equivalent to a tariff, in order to cross the border of an adjoining province? Then i-hiuk of the. evpeusive canal system which we have built and which we operate without charging any tolls to the ships using i'. ‘What farmer can stand a toil like the om- I have mentioned? I am told (ha: this situaiimi has obtained fnr years and has been a source. of great m- convenieuce and loss to the island farmers. This is a ivstraiiit of trade by a government service.

‘THEREFORE BE IT RESOLV- ‘ED that, lll the opinion of this House, the Government should m- troduco an amendment. to Par Ilol the Canadian Wheat. Board Act. Amendment Act. 1940, to provldn that the processing tax shall not be levied in the case of farmers taking wheat. 0f their own p‘ "'
