Allies Whistling in The iiark in Berlin Warning

BY J. M. ROBERTS. JR. (Associated Press News Analyst) The Allied warning that they

may act to counter Russian activities in Berlin sounds like whistling in the dark.

About all the Western Allie; can do is to formalize the unilateral actions taken by Russia on her side. The Russian-is have a. gov- ernment in their sector of Berlin. The Allies have one in theirs Both claim to govern the whole city. Neither does. Further intens- ification of measures dividing the- two sectors can only be a. tit-for- tat proposition.

The Allies do have one card they can play, although the Russian blockade would make it more of a formality than a positive factor. They can finally recognize the end of four-power control in Berlin as they have elsewhere and incor- porate their sector into the new government for Western Germany.

As a counter-attack on Russia it would have little effect, since the division is already actual if not formal. Just about all the damage that can be done to Russia has already been done through the halt in trade. creating in- creasingly uncomfortable condit- ions in the Russian zone.

The bitter truiili is that the Allies possess no new force to use against the Communists. The air

have. .

The United States State Depart- ment is represented a; believing that formation of a Russian puppet government in Eastern Berlin has made a solution of the issue more difficult if not impossible.

That is putting it mildly.

The Security Council neutrals

it would be something else.

The real issue is who is .going to control Berlin and, even more pointedly, all Germany. The im- mediate answer to that is no- body. The Russians are going to incorporate their zones more and more ln-to their own scheme of things.

Mayor Appeals For (lo-operation 0f Parents & Children

An appeal to citizens and chil- dren to co-operate in making Charlottetown "a city in which we shall all be proud" was made last evening-by His Worship Mayor MacDonald. who said that strict measures were being taken to curb further outbreaks of Juvenile crime. “We have come to the point ivliers we have to take steps on account of those few who persist in‘ doing damage to the property of others.” His Worship said. "The parents are probably to blame. It is their duty to train their children to respect the rights and property of others, arid we appeal to them especially."

He estimated there were some 10,000 children in Charlottetown, and said they were all under suspicion on account of the act- ions of a few.

The curfew law now imposed requires children to be off the streets at 9.30 13.111. It is not de- signed to restrict freedom. and the average child will not be affected. The police have been instructed to enforce the law “without fear or favour” and to investigate any complaints of law breaking.

The City Council had endeavor- ed to provide entertain ent for children during summer d winter. and to this and have placed the public squares and Victoria Park at their disposal. “they had also cleaned up Government Pond in an endeavor to supply good out- door skating facilities.

“In return we expect the co- operation of all concerned," His Worship added. "Unless there is a change for the better we cannot but anticipate that some of our children will bc brought before the Juvenile court, with all the un- pleasantness which that involves."

APPEAL BiiAiiii (Continued from Page 1)

Minister of Taxation, to the recommendation was that “certain suggestions made by yo“ W111 be incorporated therein." The word- ing of the Federation's recom- miendations respecting the Tl form was "that the use of the farmers‘ T1 supplemental form as in use prior to 1947 be restored, farm re- turns to be transferred frcm the form of farmers to the same 8w‘ oral tax form as in use by all citi- zens, and further. that no invent- ory or net worth statement be required."

BASIC IIID PLAN

Mr. lngs said another import- ant directive issued recently by the Deputy Minister of National Revenue which will have special

significance for many Island farmers is that on the Basic Herd Plan.

The directive states that any taxpayer engaged in the produc-

Should the herd comprise 92 per cent pedigreed animals and

Deaoribing the Agricultural In- stitute of Canada with its 2,300 members as "a great force in the Dominion of Canada." Dr. R. D. Sinclair. National President of the Institute, gave an account of that organization's work before a. well- attended meeting of the Char- lottetown Branch at Birch Court last evening.

Dean of Agriculture at the University of Alberta, Dr. Sin- clair conveyed the greetings of the National Council and Province of Alberta to the Is- land branch. fie outlined the work of the Institute, under the direction of the National Council. "The life blood comes from the branches" he declared. “and it is vital that all the branches are active."

The speaker reviewed the work of the National Council which in- cludes the consideration and con- solidation of resolutions from the National Convention; lining up of the work of National Committees; offering leadership where required; arranging for a new home for the Institute; consideration of progress reports and budget and all the other matters that crop up in an important Dominion-oxide organi- zatlon.

Dr. Sinclair then outlined the various National Committees which carried out the spade-work on the many problems. He spoke of the work of the Soil Conservation Com- mittee which had been going on for some two years and is now sub- mitting its findings to the various branches for discussion before tak- ing Institute action. This, ‘he re- marked, is routine procedure for all committees.

Cautioning against getting “too far from the grass-roots." Dr. Sin- clair pointed out the need for the Academic Committee which watch- es the standards of training and graduation requirements. "We would be doing a poor job if our knowledge fails to get. to the farin- er." he concluded.

One of the most active was the Scholarship Committee which was created three years ago to help veterans take up post-graduate

from commercial sources and, to date, 55 scholarships have been awarded each for the sum of $800.- 00. While many trained in the U.S. a great number of them are re- turning to work in Canada, at a financial loss to themselves. They believe. he stated. that they can make a relatively greater con- tribution to agriculture in Canada than in the U5.

The Membership Committee iias set its target for 3.000 members 2 years hence, the speaker disclosed. Some thousands of agricultural students will graduate vrithln the next few years and an effort is be- ing made to welcome thmi into the Institute during their final college

OTTAWA. Dec. 1 -fCP) —Three Boy Scouts visited Rideau Hall i0- day. shook hands with the Gov- ernor-General and rubbed should- ers with sotrne of Canada's foremost war heroes.

It was a Government House in; vistiture and the boys, along with high-ranking officers of the ser- vices, came to be decorated for service to their country.

Memories of the war years were recalled as many a mother and father stepped forward to receive the decoration won by a son who did not. come back from overseas. Most, of thesi- were Distinguished Flying Crosses won by airmen.

Frail iittie Mrs. PJ. Berrlgan had travelled all the way from

For wartime service Rear Ad-

quired may be included in the Basic Herd; if it was acquired by purchase. 75 per cent or more of the animals must be mature ani- mals.

Increase 0f Herd

The Basic Herd may be increas- cd by a gift, inheritance, or by purchase in 1947 or any subsequent year provided that no part the cost is charged against in- come. Natural increases to the herd may be added to the Basic Herd in the year in WiLlCii the ani- mnls become mature but i.lie fair market value of such animals must be added to income of that

year.

should the herd be reduced by snle or from any other cause to a point where the number of animals on hand is less than the number originally set forth as the Basic Herd, the difference will be con- sidered a capital disposition. The Herd will bc reduced by this num- ber of animals and the proceeds, if any, shall be considered a cap- ital realization not subject to Income Tax.

Other Recommendations

Oihei" recommendations of the Federation were: (2) that fairm produce raised on the farm and consumed in the‘ farm home should not. be included in farm incotnc: i5) that farm inoonie tax statements be fully assessed with- in ihe 12-month period following closing date for filing and if this is not done, that the returns be automatically considered closed and cleared; (B) that there should be an iieni_in the Tax Guide eit- pialniiig the allowance permitted for wages for family farm lielp with especial reference to age since there is much confusion on that regulation; (Bi that the Tax Guide should Lriclude an item fully explaining to what extent farm losses can be charged against in- vestment income and other sup- plementary income: (ll) That the Guide should contain the question. "W-hat if my returns show an op- erating loss?" and that the fol- lowing should be the answer:
