British Overseas Trade Commiss- ioner Thinks Dominion About l To Embark On Another Era Of Active Development.
(By Thomas '1‘. Champion, Canad-
ian Press Staff Writer) LONDON, May 1l—-(Canadian Press Cable)-—-'The overseas trade department today made public a re- port from F. W. Field. British Trade Commissioner in Canada and Newfoundland, in which 11c said there was ground for the opinion the Dominion was about to em- bark on another era, of active de- velopment. Canada, the report said, iiud re- sisted the forces of depression in notable manner and was probably in better general condition than any other country. Should world conditions improve, it added, the Dominion was likely to be onc of the first countries to recover. Tho condition of Canada, Mr. Field wrote. had been ascribed largely to thehsrdy character of the Canadian people. "While that is true," he continued, "the coun- try's iiidustrlill and financial fab- rio received considerable strength ourin’; the good ycsrs from itas to 1928. “If the depression continues much longer Canada may find its oommondnily round task more dif- ficult. As soon as world conditions improve the Dominion is likely to be one of the first countries to re- cover. At this time it appears to us an attractive avenue scarcely explored for cooperation between units of the Empire in their mutual interests and for a combined attack upon present problems."

These opinions are expressd fol- lowing today's development in the Anglo-Irish controversy, which or- iginated in President Eamon De Viilerifs determination to do away with the oath of allegiance to the

DUBLIN, Irish Free State, May ll-"Steep increases in tariffs and income taxes were proposed in the first budget of the De Valera Gov- ernment which was introduced to- day in the Dali Eireann.
The budget provided for a. duty on tea of four pence a pound and a package tax of two pence on each container holding any article of food or drink, or cosmetics or med- ical prcpnratlons packed for sale. The income tux rate would be raised from three shillings six pence to five shillings in the pound. Drastic action was necessary to make both ends meet in the na- tion's finances because President De Valerirs Government faced a. budgetary deficit of £3,500,000. The budget provided for extend- ing the entertainment tax to cover dancing, outdoor sports, horseracing and dog racing, it also set forth an increase of one shilling two pence
pound in the duty on tobacco.
Finance Minister Sean MacEntee proposed that the "McKenna" du- tics on musical instruments, clocks, watches and cinema films be made permanent.
