Indeed, it is doubtful if auv stich suggestion would have carried even uniting (ioverllllicllt supporters. Premier Jones himself, in the very brief ref- erence he made to finances in the Budget de- bate, stated that “during the coming year a par- ticular study will be made, and by next year this Government will have to make a clear-cut statement as to whether expenditures will have to be curtailed, or show where more revenue is coming from." The implication was that the Government's policy would be presented to the House at the next session. in the form of a “clear-cut statement.” Why then the unseemly haste in imposing a new tax, just a few weeks before the Legislature is due to meet? Moreover. at present Dominion-Provincial financial arrangements are quite uncertain, pending the outcome of the conference at Ottawa which has been dragging along since last Oct- ober. Why impose new provincial taxes at this stage? Premier Jones informed the Confer- ence in November that we were already being taxed out of all proportion to our earning capa- city. Now he has added another tax burden, without so much as a “by your leave" to the Legislature, or waiting to hear what the out- come of his negotiations with the Dominion Government will be. The Government, it is true. is_ in a hole financially. The estimated deficit, for the cur- rent fiscal year is some $400,000, which, if rec- ent Liberal precedent is followed, will likely reach double that amount. That is serious enough, in all conscience, but Government mem- bers did not seem to be unduly alarmed about it last session. Nobody but the Opposition sug- gested that they should economize; and cer- tainly, there has been no evidence since of any undue leaning in that direction. On the contrary, it is reported that in addition t9 the appointment in recent months of numerous new officials, the Govern- ment has raised salaries of employees all along the line. This was a nice Christmas present and well deserved in most cases; but if it is to be financed at the expense of the skating pub- lic there will be a good deal of explaining to do. The electors may well ask: ls this what Plank No. 6 in the Liberal election platform of I943 meant, which pledged the Jones Gov- ernment to pursue "a vigorous policy" in pro- moting health and physical fitness? There is another thing to be remembered. The deficit ihis year was calculated on the as- sumption that the Government would have a f€dl1€li0n of $75900 in liquor sales Just ho\v lion. Mr. Hughes, the Provincial Treasurer, figured that out he did not say; but such was the estimate. It is safe to say that instead of a $75,000 reduction. there will be at least a $100, 000 increase in sales, itltlgiltg by the stampede for scripts inn! the crowded appearance of the vendor's stores since the new liquor law was proclaimed. It is not the youngsters, of course, who will pay this skating lax; it is the same fam. ily breadwirllters who already are paying the other taxes, Federal and Provincial. and who, collectively and individually, have iust about reached their limit. The Jones Government shows poor psychology in gnading a jaded horse.

The 50th anniversary of the discovery of the X-ray ls being observed this year. The X-ray was discovered by Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen Nov. 8, I895, lt is now universally used in the (liagnosis of tuberculosis. "Tuberculosis was the cause of the rejection of approximately 15,000 men and women for military service ill World War II. The fact they had the disease in one form or another was revealed by X-ray exam- inations. ‘ at n: n- a Not many here personally knew the late Lt.-Col. R. F. Parkinson, D.S-O., managing director of the Ottawa Journal, but it is due in uo small measure to him that our silbscribers and readers generally are not paying more for their paper The Post Office Department at one time decided to increase the postage rate on newspapers, which would piractically have ruled out two cent dailies from the use of the mails. The Guardian fought the matter, en- listing the sympathy and support of Col. Park- inson, who was chairman of the Canadian Daily Newspaper Association's Postal and Par- liamentary Committee. The ups-hot was that the proposed increase was never made effective. I i I I The British Ministry of Education has pre- pared extensive plans to bring the youth of France and Britain closer to each other. The new Minister of Education, Miss Ellen Wilk- inson, favours two special schemes. The first is to encourage boys and girls in both countries to link up 0v exchange of correspondence and to get to know each others interests and hob- bies. The second scheme provides for the pair- ing-off of schools with the same background and interests: for example, a school in a Brit- ish seaport would be linked with one in a French seaport, mining area with mining area, and so on. Plans for this encouragement of friend- ship with France are to be forwarded to the French Ministry of Education as soon u pos- sible. Miss Ellen Wilkinson considers that the friendships encouraged between the school- children of both countries may well continue after the pupils have left school. Both schemes include the interchange of holiday. visits and of teachers in both countries. Notes By The Way Cort-Ill!!! Illa women wlll back to the kitchen after the wt?

They are the Can- adian Army Occupation Force. It ls the purpose of this article t-o set forth what. they are doing, why and where the are doing it, under what con tlons and for how long. When the Allies decided Bri- tain, Russia. France and the Unltcd States would dlvtde Ger- many into four sections for mill- tary occupation, Canada was ask- ed to provide one augmented and self-sustaining division of troops to serve 1n the British section, under Montgomery. Canada was allotted a piece of Northwest. Germany. roughly 80' miles square. It. runs along the North Sea from Emden to Wll- helmshaven and inland to Bremen and Oldenburg. Canada ls committed to provide this force at leash until March 31. 1945. But; occupation may well g0 much longer. As yet no Belgian or Dutch troops are used for this purpose. Possibly Canadians will be relieved of this duty by troops of these countries before Allied oc- cupation of Germany is dlscon~ tlnued. The Canadian troops hope so-but speculation ls dangerous . . . The Canadian troops, under Major General "Chris" Vokes, are ln that piece of Germany to see that the will of Field Marshal Montgomery 1s enforced. Their main problem is to ensure con~ tlnued good order. There is a kind of Gelrman clv. lllan government. aided by a Ger. man police force. But ll ls up to occupation troops to see that the rules and regulations of civilian government and police force are carried out. The government and police force. of course, operate under supreme orders of the Allied Control Council. Canadian troops are the only occupation troops hi this m“, They live in barracks, most. of them in the Olly of Oldenburg. In day and night shifts they mount guard over power plants, bridges. important. industries and offices, r0041 distribution points, stations, hospitals.

After Germany fell. questionnaires were sent out. uk- lng overseas troops 1f the want.- od to (a) 3o to the PM 1c, (b) renmln 1n Germany. (c) get out; of the army. Not. quite one-third 9f the required 25.000 volunteered to remain in Germany. The force was then built up by officers and men whose particular tralnlrlg or ability especially suit-i ed them to occupation work. Cooks. for example, were scarce. 8o, many cooks with high point scores that. would otherwise have brought them home were obliged to Ion IIIIIIIIII remain with the Occupation Force. Likewise with trained of-fbers, clerks, personnel speaking German. But there ls a radual replacing of all personnel tat. want to come home, as soon as substitutes can be found for them, here or in England. . O In Germany, 1t ls said, you do not hear the term “Zomble" or the letters N.R.M.A. They are not lndentlflable as such ln any way. They are not. selected as such. Be- cause many N. R. M. A. men had low point scores, however. a good proportion of. Occupation Force ls made up of them. No attempt; was made to com- pose the Occupation Force of complete units. her to have it represent regions or provinces on a relatlve scale. There were just two considerations tn making up this force: (1) low pointers, (2) lndlspensables. Actually there are not qulte 25,000 ln the Force right now. But. as the repatriation of the Can- adian Army in England pm- ceeds there will be troops trans- ferred from the repat machine — men who have been running the repatriation job-to bring the Oc- cupation Force to its establish- ment. They will be mostly low pointers. This Occupation Force ln Ger- many Ls quite distinct from the general pool of Canadian troops overseas awaiting transport home. Most of the latter are ln Eng- land. some still 1n Holland. By the 15th of January the pool ln Holland wlll be mnved out. By the end of January only 60,000 Canadian troops wlll be overseas; 25.000 ln the German Occupation Force and 35,000 awaiting ships ln England. 0 l It is wise to avoid speculation on how long our troops wlll re- maln ln Germany.
