Cabinet Minister Says Tax Trouble Quebec's Fault

OTTAWA.

it the

(CP)—- Northern Af- fairs Minister Leeage said Wed- nesday Quebec is attempting to blame the federal government for its own decision to impose a pro- vincial liicome tax.

“This double taxation is exclus- ively due to the decision oi the Quebec government. which now attempts to throw the blame upon the Canadiafi government." Mr. Lcsage said in the Commons.

The situation. he said, "reminds me of the little boy who pulled the cat's tall and replied to his father who had told him to stop: ‘I'm not pulling, the cat ls."‘

He spoke in the third day of the budget debate which continued ihrough the half—day sitting before the House adjourned for the Easter recess until Monday. April 26. The usual 6 pm. ad,loui'nment time. ~

No Negotiations

Mr. lesage was the first cabinet mlnistcr"to refer in the budget de- bate to the Quebec taxation issue since Finance Minister Abbotts budget April 6 rejected Quebec's bid to have its new l5-per-cent in- come iax fully deductible from federal income tax payments. Fed- eral tax laws allow deduction of five per cent of the provincial tax from federal levies.

G. H. Castlcden (CCF—Yorktoni said the same economic signs that prevailed before the last depres- sion now can be seen. The budget took no ariion to forestall fl. de- pression and instead provided "a continual song of optimism."

J. Waldo Monteith (PC—1'-lerthi criticised various aspects of the income tax laws and said tax in- spectora in rural areas should have prior farming experience to give them more understanding of the costs of running a farm.

DIILLES WINS PLEDGE FROM FRENCH TO CONSIDER WESTERN PACIFIC PACT

PARIS, (AP)—ll. S. State Sec- retary Dulles Wednesday conclud- ed a ‘Big Three agreement to work for a western Pacific defence wall against the spread of communism

The final step was taken with joint issuance of a communique by Dulles and French Foreign Min- lsier Georges Eidault spotlighting the war in Indo-China as a danger to peace in all Southeast Asia.

Dulles’ goal .was a i0-power mil- itary alliance like NATO in Bouill- east Asia.

After the agreement was an- nounced, Dulles left for home by plane to report to President Eisen- hower on his miglon.

The statement guaranteed that France, Britain and the United states would furnish a common front at Geneva when the Far Eastern conference opens April 26

It was similar to the announce- ment in London Tuesday by Dulles

and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. Peace Threatened

The statement said that the war in lndo-China threatened peace in

the whole Pacific area. adding: "In close association with other iii- terested nations. we will examine the possibility of establishing, within the framework of the. Unit- ed Nations charter. ll collective defence to assure the peace. secur- ity and freedom of this area."

A high American source told re- porters after the announcement

that the Korean question would come up first at Geneva. This would leave a margin of lime to

get going on the military alliance before the Indo-China question came up.

If the Geneva conference fails to get a solution in Indo-China. the new organization would be

Britain Promises Troops For Continental Defence Army

TERMS OF AGREEMENT WITH FRANCE ANNOUNCED BY EDEN IN COMMONS

(By Seymour Topping) LONDON. (APi—Britain Wednesday spurred France

toward ratification of the

European Defence Community

Treaty with a historic commitment to keep troops on the

continent. The British offered

also to integrate ground and

air forces in the six-country European army. The pledge was announced in the House of Commons

by Foreign

Secretary Eden.

It was aimed at quieting

French fears abouit West German rearmament within EDC and inducing the French parliament to ratify the treaty.

Both the United States and Brit- ain have declared EDC is indis- pcnsable in the defence of western I-.'ui~ope against the threat of Com- munist aggression. The British promised to keep their armed forces in Europe as long as that threat exists.

Terms Disclosed

Disclosing the terms of an agree- ment signed in Paris Tuesday be- tween Britain and the six EDC countries, Eden told the House of Commons:

“Her Majesty's government have iindr.~rt.akcn in continue to main- tain on the. mainland of Europe. including Germany. such armed forces as may be necessary and ap- propriate to contribute a fair share of the forces needed for the joint defence of lhe North Atlantic area.

"We have also stated that we have no intention of withdrawing from the continent of Europe so long as the threat exists to the security of western Europe and of

the European Defence Commun- ity" The six countries in EDC are

France. Italy, West Germany. Bel- glum. the Netherlands and Luxem- bourg. ltaly-arid France have yet to ratify the treaty.

white Paper

A government white paper is- aueri at the same time as Eden spoke. said:

:‘Briiain wil consult with EDC nn questions of mutual concern In- cluding the level of the armed forces of the United Kingdom and of the European Defence Commu- nity placed under the command of the supreme allied commander. on the mainland of Europe. and any

substantial modification in me level or composition of these forces."

'I'hL1 amounted to a commitment by Britain to consult with the six EDC countries before making any major cuts in British air units on the continent and ihe four British divisions also stationed there. Three of the divisions are armored and Eden disclosed that one of these would be made available for placement within an EDC corps.

things get rolling, it is expected they will have 3,000 children to leach.

The agreement is subject to ap- proval by the parliaments of Brit- ain and the six EDC powers.
