nized a; the most tlXpcilfillCtCl Commonwealth leader here, the Prime Minister mentioned the

“special ties" between Canada and France during the last 4G0 years.

Referring to ffie treaties oeiorc the conference, he said Canada has no specific national interest in adoption oi any particular for- mula for solution of individual conflicts and differences.

“But we have a vital and com- pelling interest in thc kind of set- tlement that results from these deliberations.

"Our concern as a nation is t0 see that as far as we can help make them so. peace treaties will be based upon broad and endur- ing principles of justice and eq- uity. Canada seelu no territory. no reparations. no special conces- sions of an kind but. we seek to build a Last ng peace."

Mr. King said Canada made an all-out war eflort. There were two reasons: “We wan-ted to help bring the‘ war to a victorious close on the earliest possible flay. We also wanted Canadas contribution to be of an order which would entitle us to share effectively i" the making of the peace."

He mentioned the contribution that people from Italy. Finland.

ungary and Romania had made to the building of Canada throuslu immigration.

"Canada has from these close associations of blood and history a ‘particular interest in iwbillil "l?" mut of the peace treaties will conic settlements which will b.- definite because they will be recoZHIZTd as fair and equitable."

was discovered the company was allowed a 100 per cent write-off c! capital costs against profit and

loss.

Anothrr resolution provided that tax credits would be: tlrflnifrd ffll’ corporation income tax levied _l:.\" provinces on mining and 10km“. _ operations.

Ml‘. Abbott said he could not ac- cept earlier suggestions that form- ers and fishermen be allowed tn average their lncomits over o. flvc- year rat-her than a thrcc-ytcur prr- iod. The tlirec-ycar average. the Government believed. would WEIR to the best advantage of thc group of income taxpayers concerned.

He made a minor amendment to the premium tax on Mutual In- surance Companies. other than llfe insurance companies. to meet rc- commcndations made following DIT- sentation of the budget.

Soft Drinks Tax Remains

He declined to meet requests ihnt the tax on soft drinks be abolished, and likewise rejected , that the training pay of members of the Reserve Army be made tax exempt.

He disclosed that an order-ln- council had been passcd to settle finally tihe question of taxing civil- ian firefighters and auxiliary scr- vice personnel. They will not have to pav income tax on 1942 incomc if they were outside the western firm- ilphere. For i943, 1944, and i945 one-fifth of their pay and allow- ances will be tax-exempt.

With the resolutions adopted. thc next move is to lntroduw bills on each of them. Passage of the b"ls will mark the final move to mnke the budget changes effective.

Gallup Poll of Canada

VOTERS KNOW CIVIL DUTIES BETTER THAN CIVIL RIGHTS 49% Thhk No Warrant Required For Arrest, Poll Diselosea By Canadian Institute of labile Opinion

TORONTO. Aug. 3 - Only a quarter of the adult Canadian popula- tion has ever been summoned to appear as a witness in court.

Kl per cent know that a citizen is obliged to appear n; l mm“ g1 subpoenaed.

I-lalf the adult population believe the police may arrest and jail a. person without a warrant.

Only half a correct understand- ing of what official is authorized to sign a warrant.

These are highlights of the evi- dence of the publlc's knowledge of civil rights and obligations re- vealed by the latest Gallup Poll of an accurate cross-section of Canadians of voting age.

Women and younger voters are less frequently called upon to give testimony in court_. the Institute found in the response to the ques- tion:

"HAVE YOU EVER. BEEN CALLED UPON ‘I0 APPEAR AB WITNESS IN COURT?"

The countryside. Mr. Iandrigan, explained, is so dry that on hay-l fields from which the hay had been gathered. the fire was hurn- ing the roots of the grass. Many. hoy and pasture fields were thus burned.
