Pension Scheme Discussed At City Council Meeting

A large representation of the City employees attended last night's regular monthly meeting of the City Council to hear a pens-run ‘scheme designed for their benefit explained by City Councillor N.W. Ltowther.

It was not a, desirable state of affairs. Coun. Lowther raid, to have City employees serve for many years and then die without having afforded their families any security.

The cost ct lnhtitutlng a pension scheme which would take care of all the City's present employees would be considerable, he said, because many of those employees had worked for the City for twenty years and had not contributed any- thing out of their salaries to gulch a scheme. In order for the City to ' ' ‘ those T‘ in the scheme the City would have to pay apprortlmately $42,000 for cha next ten years, he said.

Biizzard As Delegates Meet For Conference

By ROSS‘ MUNBO

Moscow. Maren 1o - (or) — A strangely informal but business- like opening for the Big Four con- ference took place tcda as a bliz- nard swirled around ta Aviation Building in suburban Moscow where the Foreign Ministers of Russia. Britain, the United States and France met.

The scene had no resemblance at all to the gala ceremony the French staged in Paris 11. months ago launching the first Big Foru- peace talks when Republican guards paraded with flashing sabres and shining helmets.

The Russians simply didn't at.- tempt to put on a show. Oflly two simple clusters f medium-sized cotton flags of t e four countries decorated the doorway o! the grey stone Aviation House which looks‘ like a modern office building but which has been used as an 0t- ficers’ club.

Waiting for the delegates to ar- rive, three Moscow city policemen in neat blue uniforms trudged 11D and down near the entrance. Four‘ militiamen lrept a with of play- mt Russian boys from iostlina on the main steps.

Mr. King Takes House Members Behind Scenes

OTTAWA. March 10 — (CPL- Prime Minister Mackenzie King, today took the Commons behlnti the scenes .of inter-governmental discussion over the withdrawal of the Canadian occupation force from Germany and disclosed that Britain unsuccessfully sougiht to have Canada reconsider the with- drawing order.

Speaking on an Opposition mo- tion for production of inter. governmental communications on the matter. Mr. King told the House why mnada had with-- draw-n her tentative commitment, made curly in 1946, to supply a land force of 25,000 rrtch and an Li: force oi 11 R. C. A. F. squad- rohs.

He said the decision to with-

draw the force had been taken b0’ the Cabinet in December, 1946. because of tihe "serious"

administrative problems involved in keeping so small a number of men so far a distance from home.

Britain Aired Reconsideration

Britain pronfltly asked the Do- minion to reconsider this decis- ion and later made a similar ap- proach when Eirternel Affairs Minister St. Laurent, the-n Just- ice Minister, and other Canadian Cabinet Ministers were in Lon- don, but on both occasions was told the Canadian Government could not modify its action. .Mil'. King's LEGO-word review

I of the Mthdrawel also served as

a response to Opposition re- quests made during the ‘Throne Speech debate last week for a clear-out Government statement on the move, which some said was dictated by "political expedi- enoy."

The Prime Mlinlster Canadian army occupation force was to have been Staiioncd in the British zone of occupation and the R. C. A. F‘. squadrons were to have been stationed partly in Ger-many and partly in the United Kingdom.

Mr. King said Canada made this commitment Jan. 9, 1945. at the same time advising Britain that there were "some over-ail considerations of policy which the Canadian Government fcit should be‘ communicated inter- governmentaliy."

"I claim that the water route from Borden to Tormentine, a distance of nine miles. thould be m effect a national highway. and if there is to be a charge at. all, it must be based on the cost of mov- ing farm products freight or ex- press for the equivalent mileage on land.
