LMr., Fielding himself did not say so, , but -it has been estimated by some ' who pay strict attention to these mat- . ters that the new sales tax will add - forty-ve million dollars per year to gars, certain kinds of liquors and mo- tor cars will also pay additional tax- . es. There is a graded stamp tax on bank cheques-two cents up to fty dollars`, and two cents for every ad- ditional fty. and cables is increased from one to ive cents. Banks are to pay a one `per cent. tax on note circulation and uthe tax on stock transfers is.raised from two to ve cents per share. There is a reduction of from two and 'a half to ve per cent. on the duty on lpractically all farm implements, ma,- chinery and tools, and there is an in- creased preference to Britain of two and a half -per cent. on a very con- siderable range of goods. These brief sentences barely outline the chief taxation proposals and customs changes. It is impossible that they should be hailed by all as the right and the wise steps to take. Politics always enter largely into the making of budgets and the changing of. tar--l i"s and the economic views of many who are not ardent politicians also . color their impressions in matters of . this kind.

Phone Adelaide 287 Ligh'M: "Mccmhy Major Wilbur Blake and Captain MacMi1lian left an aerodrome in the London, England, area a few_ days ago on the start of their attempted ight around the world. They hope to make the 30,000-mile journey and return to London within. 120 days. The Atlantic journey it is hoped is to be accomplished via Labrador, Greenland and Iceland. But if the airman are behind their planned Lireemanu anu Lceiuuu. nut u. out: airmen are behind their planned schedule time in reaching the Amer- ican Atlantic coast they will try the Azores and Portugal .route. They hope the machine `in which they started will carry them to India, where a new one will be in waiting, A and a third machine will be used for the Labrador run. _ With all these rumors of wars and aggressions in Europe disturbing the minds of statesmen and frightening business men, it is worth noticing that there is now in session in Paris a conference of the world s foremost bankers. The meeting is the out- come of one of the issues. of the Genoa, conference and` its main ob- jective is the discussion of a proposal to make an enormous loan to Ger- many. Amounts varying from $500,- 000,000 to two billion dollars are mentioned in connection with this project. It is felt that any such loan will have. to be of great magnitude or it will be impossible to give a sat- isfactory start to a process of settle- ment acceptable to all concerned. An illuminating story comes from Hol- land, .where the bankers seem to think that the time is not ripe for such a step. Nevertheless they argue that if it is agreed upon Holland must take part in it, otherwise she will be a distinct loser. American delegates are representing some strong United States nancial instit- utions at the meeting. The idea of the scheme seems to be that if Ger- many can be assured _of a big loan at a reasonable rate of interest, a good deal of the friction constantly arising when reparation payments come due could be avoided and at the same time. Germany would have a "chance to more. quickly set her house in order for the ultimate set- tlement of accounts. The bankers conference is likely to last for some time. One is justied in inferring that the attitude of Germany and the condition of that country s prepared- ness to live up to any arrangement entered into will be the effective fac- tors `in any decision reached. ` 0 There have been political develop- ments galore in Britain over the Genoa conference. They come ala most every day, in fact. But Lloyd George still appears to ride the storm"' ' in safety. ` The amazing personality of the British Premier and his in- i domitable ghting spirit carry him through where less able and astute men would go_ under. ` If reliance is to be placed on a maze. of stories from various Europ- ean capitals, Bulgaria has thrown in its lot with Russia and Germany as .an opponent to'the allies and the Little Entente. Turkey may also be included in the alliance, more or less formal, of the three rst named na- tions. There has been some revol- utionary disorder in Bulgaria. So e reports say that .it is still seriou. But up to a comparatively recent per- iod the Bulgarian government was strongly anti-Bolshevist. `The. hope ` of, escaping its share of reparations due as a result of the world war and of -recovering lost `territory seemsrto have been instilled `into Bulgarians representing their. country at; the Genoa gathering, by the words and actions of the Germans and Russians. Rumania is greatly alarmed over this. new turn in the wheel." She fears that the Soviet will take advantage of the complications to attempt to _ seize all territory given to Rumania as a penalty of war, making a rst attack on the province of Bessarabia, where the Russian armies would hope to reap what promises to be an im- mense crop of wheat. This presup- poses that the conference at the Hague to be held in June as a sequel to the Genoa conference will not be successful in confirming the non-ag- gression pledge. This ispthe Lloyd George proposal that all the nations should accept the present frontiers `for a period of ten years. With the lesson'of the former Russian betray- al in mind at a time when Russia was an ally but was too slow to aid Rum- ania against the German-Hungarian invasion, Rumania has taken precau- ;tions. A mission has been in consult- 'ation with the French military auth- `orities in Paris. If the Reds are determined to make war this sum- mer, as many believe, Rumania at any rate will be ready. The situation in.Ire1and is again a cause of profound anxiety to the Bri- tish government. The new confer- ence between the members of the Ave. p.m., or one 213 I- II "1 pression is, I believe, over. Already the sun of better times is beginning to shine. I do not look for any rapid restoration to prosperity, but I be- A lieve that,` from\this time forward, `there will be quiet, steady and sub- stantial improvement. That is * something to remember if the turn- ing of the tide` appears at times to be remarkably slow. .It would be well to bear in mind also that the total debt of Canada on Mar. 31- last--the closing of the scal` year-was $2,427,296,798. In the mere recital of these gures there isia call for the exercise of care in spending. There should be a distinc- tion both in the national and individ- ual mind, however, between care and stinginess. The latter is often `as wasteful in its disregard of essential works as is wanton recklessness. The minds of many who have a bent to- ward the study of such matters will also be struck with the startling statement in connection with the in- creased tax on cigars and-cigarettes, that the consumption of cigarettes in Canada amounts to 267 a year for every man, wutan and child. Can- ada grows in more ways than one. TJEABARRIE EXAMINER Provisional government of Ireland and the British government, like all such gatherings, has many elements of usefulness. The trouble is that there are thousands of people in Ire- land who do not recognize any of these conferences as binding upon themselves and continue their battl- ing with the utmost bitterness. There are not wanting critics who declare that as a consequence of a pact be- tween de Valera for the Republicans and Michael Collins for the Provis- ional government the -elections next month will not be a true expression of the will of the people but will be followed by the establishment of an Irish.Republic in the South; In that event the position of the Imperial government will be one in which it will have. to act with sterness or re- cognize such a republic. It is hoped that therewill be no cause forrsuch a dilemma and that the pessimists will nd themselves mistaken. A new complication has arisen in the recent widespread raids under the auspices of the Ulster government in that ter- ritory. This followed the cold-blood- ed murder of a member of the North- ern Parliament and resulted in the arrest of three hundred officers and members of the Irish Republican forces. - g London,_England, has been suffer-I ing from a heat wave that has taken a toll of human lives.
