Without reducing in revenues in the least the Government could eu- tablish appeal tribunals and it should do so with- out further delay, The Chamber of Commerce also proposes that the excess profits tax be reckoned not on one year's operations in a business but on the com- pany's profits and losses over a five-year period.

Medals And Decorations By the Editor o1’ the Armv Quarterly, London, reprinted from the llfizlonawli Queen Elizabeth cave sold and silver medals to the principal of- flcers who fought, against the Ar- mada. Charles I gave medals, but only for distinguished service 1n the field. The Commonwealth alive them to officers only. except, that for the Battle of Dunbar which everyone received. Otherwise, the East India Company was the first apparently to klve war medals down to private: and thelrs were made of tln. On special occasions medals were presented to a few senior offlcers. notably for Colloclen and Louis- berg, None was given for the Marl- borough eampalgns or battles. The Peninsular Gold Medal was award- ed. to Generals. C.O.'s of brigades of artillery. of Engineers, to sento: staff officers, 0.03s battalions, etc. With the above exceptlons, the Waterloo Medal was the first that everyone present.‘ received. The Issue after the last. war ran to millions ttnd even then there were thousands who complained bitterly of being left. nut. 1n this war “Ollblg has arisen early and 1t looks as if the U. S.

There could be no doubt as to the right of the Desert Rats, and 1n- deed all those who have fought: 1n Africa. to wear a ribbon to d13- tlngutsh them above all others. But. thls most natural honour was 1.1m stgnal for the "envy. eta." to start, and heaven only known where 1t wtll end‘. It has for long been obvious that a total and global war would set those who have to allot medals some halr-ratslng problems. Ezigland already clamor to be eluded has come from the Antl- Alrcraft Artillery and the Balloon Barrage. But. why stop there? Af- ter iill, 1f casualties count. the British nubllc wltl rank high 1n the list. For 1t has been stated that so far more people have been killed and wounded by alr rnfda 1n England than the Army has lost. tn North Africa. But. lf at home 1s to get one, the wh a polnt. of the medal-that 1a. to tlngulsti one above one’; fellows- falls to f-hp ground.
