The spacious Canadian lbsgion Hall was filled last night at s meet- ing sponsored by the School Im- provement. League to hear an ex- pressicn of opinion on the question of establishing a composite high school in Charlottetown.

Dr. J.A. MacMilian presided.

Mrs. J. Gordon MacDonald. president of the School Improve- ment League, opened the discussion by outlining the reasons which. in the opinion of the league. neces- sitated the immediate erection of such s. school in Charlottetown.

Two of the big problems which.

Before the meeting con- cluded.'a resolution. moved by Mr. R. H. Rogers, and second- ed by Mr. V. A. Ainsworth. was unanimously passed. Tna resolution was:

"Thai. this meeting be lr. favor of going ahead as ex- _ peditiously and energetically as possible to have a. composite high school established in Charlottetown at the earliest possible mc-ment."

Maedossald Says H. S. Did Get" Concessions

HALIFAX. May le-wPl-Prs- mler Angus L. lldscdonald tonight took issue with reports which he said had stated that Nova Bcotta’: "offer to begin negotiations on a CIJLIIPCEIIIGDC with Ottawa Wll not induced by any new conces- sions by the Dominion Govern- merit."

He ss.ld the reports had. been carried in "some newspapers" but dld not otherwise identify them.

In a SOC-word press statement. tho Premier cited earlier slate- menls by former Finance Minis- tar Ilslsy. Prime Minister Ring and Finance Minister Abbott to show the Dominion hsd all slant maintained that compensation must. be had from the Provinces lf it were to give up the minor tax fields. This attitude. hs said. had been altered by sn April 21. 1M7. letter from Mr. Abbott.

Ha quoted from the letter: "The Dominion recognizes the dean of the Provinces tn have taxation fields of their ovrn. We are pre- parsd thsrsfors to say that in view of the nature of the amass- mellt and part-mutual fields and of the special interest of the pro-

vinces in respect thereto. it Will

be our policy to vacate these fields as soon as circumstances permit."

Mr. Macdonald comments: that "it. is obvious that the Dominion has abandoned the ides of secur- ing compensation in return for vacating the fields of amusement and psrl-mutuei taxes."

He slid tho April 21 letter was the first indication from ths Dominion that it recognized the Provinces’ desire to have taxation fields of their own.

Pln the minds of some people this concession may not be impur- tsnt and from the point of dollars and cents they may be right," ha said. "But there is recognized here s principle against which the Dominion stood out for 20 months and which this Province insisted upon and finally won. ‘Hie prin- ciple is that the Provinces should have some taxation fields fur themselves exclusively.”

"It was ths recognition of this principle in April of this year, along with ths other concessions gained at intervals previously. thalwfinally led the fiovinos of Nova Bcotia to make the offer which I made on Monday last." he added.

B. C. Member Outlines Plan In Budget Debate

(By D'Arcy O'Donnell)

OTTAWA, May 15-(CP)_ E5. tablishment of g, budget committee which would advise the Govern- ment on ways and means of re- ducing expenditures was suge“. ed today in the Commons by E. D» P111100. Pfflgressive Conserva- tive member for Kamloops in British Columbia.

Speaking during continued de- bate on the budget. Mr. Fulton sulsested that the committee be composed of an accountant, an engineer and members of the Cflbillfit- Its aim would be to cradl- cate duplication, waste and ex- travagaitce.

The committee. even i-n its eco- nomy drive. probably could recom- mend expenditures which \Vlllifl be more beneficial to the whole of Canada than some of the ex- penditures now planned.

He said the committee for in- stance. could go into the question of fsmi-iy allowance administra- tion which now was costing the Dominion $4,000,000 a year. no (sit that provincial welfare offices could easily handle the: adminis- traiion of the allowances at much lower cost.

There also was the question of Dominion publicity offices whlcn were costing more than $3,000,000 a year. Savings prc-bably could be recommended for the benefit of taxpayers.

TYYIIOON AT IWO JIMA

MANILLA, May l5—-(AP)- Tile United states navy's fleet weather station reported today that a typhoon passed over Iwo Jima

this morning. with winds reach- ing 72 miles an hour. The storm. first reported 750 miles east of Manila, was expected to die out befolo reaching Japan.

The unveiling ceremony was part of U_N.B.’s reunion encaenia pro- gram this week but the Monuments Board of Canada, and the board chairman. Dr. J. Clarence Webster.

Shedtlac. N.B.. presided at the function. The chief speaker was Rt. Hon.

Vincent Massey, Toronto, former Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. who said the three poets "wrote from some overwhelming sense of the beauty and mystery and the glory of life."

He clhars terized the poet as "the sym of the things without which no nation can be great," and “the philosopher and interpreter of beauty in all its foams."

Mr. Massey said it seemed sometimes "that we have imported our poetry and exported our poets." There was inadequate concern for literary achievement, "in our mid-st." and the answer migtht be "n. stronger national sPirit~a deeper faith in ourselves As that grows our poet; will receive honor in proportion." ‘

Lieutenant - Governor MacLanen

mentioned that the three poets to whom trlbute was being paid had graduated from U.N.B.

"We are gathered about this

memorial to express our reverence and admiration for that great her- itage they gave to us in ilhe World of literature," he said.
