It has often been stated that there is a housâ€" ing problem in Timmins. The claim has been made that there are not enough houses to properâ€" ly accommodate the everâ€"growing population, and that the standard â€"of housing is not up to the deâ€" sirable height. The remedy for such a condition, of course, is to encourage new building. O course, the greatest spur that could be given to building would be some assurance of actually reâ€" duced taxation and the certainty that this was not for a year alone. The experts who investigatâ€" ed the housing situation in Canada have agreed that the burden of taxation and the uncertainty of taxation have been the two chief reasons for the slackening of building operations in the Doâ€" minion. Unable to make any general reduction of taxation in Canada, the Dominion Government in its Home Improvement Plan legislation, and again in its more recent National Housing Act has attempted to use reduced taxation as a method cf encouraging more building. Under one section of the National Housing Act, municipalities are emâ€" powered to pass legislation that will give new homes some tax reduction. Under this section, the Dominion Government will pay 100 per cent. of the municipal taxes the first year after a new home is built, 50 per cent. the second year, and 25 per cent. the third year. While this relief from taxation misght not alone induce a man to build a new home for himself, it might be the deciding factor. So far, Timmins has not taken advantage of this provision. To do so, it is necessary that the town should act. In any event, the plan is certainly worthy of the most careful consideraâ€" tion, and reâ€"consideration, by the Timmins counâ€" cil. Kirkland Lake is among the many munitiâ€" palities that have taken advantage of the Doâ€" minion Government‘s offer in this particular. Timmins needs more houses â€" better housing â€" and it wouid appear the part of wisdom to take advantage of every practical plan that will enâ€" courage more building of homes here. On Saturday King George VI and Queen Elizâ€" abeth embarked on their historic visit to Canada. In leaving Britain, the King and Queen were givâ€" en such an expression of affection and loyalty as has never been exceeded in any land at any time. All along the route there were cheering thousands to wish them bon voyage and a safe return. The words of a London busman were taken up by literally thousands and passed along fervently from London to Portsmouth â€" "God Bless Them Both." It was not the ceremony, nor the organâ€" ization, nor the immense crowds that were most noteworthy, impressive as these undoubtedly were, but it was rather the genuine warmth of real afâ€" fection and regard that seemed to come spontaneâ€" ously from every throat in the monster crowds that lined each foot of the way. Miles of loving humanity made a fitting pathway for a King and Queen to travel to Portsmouth. It should parâ€" ticularly interest and please Canadians to know that the despatches from London feature the fact that seventyâ€"two Cang@dian war veterans were given high place in the headlines because their farewell to the King and Queen were the "three heartiest cheers ever heard in Waterloo Station." "As the Royal train started for Portsmouth, where their Majesties were to embark on their voyage to Canada, Captain J. R. Aldridge, comâ€" mander of an honour guard of 72 Canadian exâ€" servicemen, doffed his blue beret and led the cheers," says one despatch from London, adding the illuminating words:â€"*"Their Majesties, leanâ€" ing out of the train window calling goodâ€"byes, quickly looked beyond the gathing of government and diplomatic wellâ€"wishers to the double line of cheering Canadians. They smiled broadly and waved enthusiastically." The tact that Canadians in England thus figurâ€" ed in the derronstration of love and loyalty as the King and Queen left for their visit to Canada, gives forecast of the fact that in Canada Their Majesties will receive a welcome that will equal in warmth of affection and expression of loyalty the demonstration given as they left their home land. Those who read the vivid descriptions in the city daily newspapers of the departure of the King and Queen must have been impressed by the lack of formality and ceremonial trappings, in the genâ€" uine simplicity of it all. The cheering thousands, the waving of handkerchiefs, the crying of good wishesâ€"all like a big family wishing two loved ones godspeed on a journey. And that was in truth just what it was! The bonnie princesses accompanyin« their parents to the ship for a finâ€" al family farewell, the presence of Queen Mary at the dock to wave, with the little princesses beside her, till the ship was in the distance. In the departure of the King and Queen for Canada, there is a suggestion for Canada as to TRIBUTES TO THEIR MAJESTIES TIMMIN®S, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoclation; Ontariloâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group Timmins. Ont., Monday, May 8th 1939 She Yorrupine Aduvancr Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: RESID ENCE Those who are some distance from the scene are wondering what the removal of Foreign Comâ€" missar Litvinoff may mean. Those who are closâ€" er are also wondering and, no doubt, worrying. Just when there seemed probability that Soviet Russia ‘w()uld join the democracies of the world in an alliance to halt the dictators, Litvinoff! was displaced from his office. Litvinoff is reported to have been a polished diplomat, more than a match for German and Italian politicians, and with no friendliness towards either the Nazi or the Fascist regimes. In this attitude he was believed io represent the feeling of Russia in general in this matter. Why was Litvinoff deposed. and what will be the éffect of his retirement? These are the questions being asked now, and being answerâ€" ed in opposing ways. On the one hand it is sugâ€" gested that it is a favourable sign for the demoâ€" cracies that Litvinoff was set aside. It is argued that the complaint against him in Russia was that he was too slow in securing an agreement that would bind together, Britain, France and Russia, and that a new man was put in place to hurry along the desired alliance. Against this theory is the fact that the man taking Litvinoff‘s place is known only as a strong Russian nationalist, knowing no other languages than Russian and caring for none other. British statesmen do not appear to be completely discouraged by the reâ€" tirement of Litvinoff, but there does not appear to be any jubilation about his successor, though negotiations are being continued in a hopeful spirit. In the wondering about Litvinoff‘s recall, there is a third theory that may perhaps be the correct one, or the one nearest the actual facts. It is to the effect that Stalin has decided that the Soviet should hold to an isolationist attitudeâ€"keeping apart from other dictatorships and from the deâ€" mocracies alikeâ€"devoting itself exclusively to the defence of its own immense territory and leaving all others to their fate. the real way to greet the royal pair. Instead of social fetes and ceremonials, why not let streetâ€" lined thousands give them greeting from the heart, expressions of love and loyalty deep in the souls of Canadians, and let the thousands pass along the true prayer of the London busman, "God Bless Them Both." The less encouraging explanation of the withâ€" drawal of Litvinoff is the theory that the Soviet controlling forces believe that Litvinoff‘s retireâ€" ment was due to his liberal views, and that alliâ€" ance with the democratic nations is not desired by the Soviet. Those who believe this have little faith in the idea that Litvinoff‘s health will conâ€" tinue very good or that his life will be a very exâ€" tended one. Their theory is that the Soviet has been displeased at the progress made by Litvinoff in forming any sort of alliance with Britain and France. The thought behind this is that the Soâ€" viet is more inclined to join up with Germany than with the democratic nations. At first glance it may seem absurd to think of the Soviet linking itself with the Nazis. In view of the tirades made by Hitler against the Soviet, and the harsh counterâ€"charges made by Stalin against the Nazis, it might appear impossible that the two should suddenly decide to become allies against democracy. The alliance, however, is by no means impossible. As a matter of fact the Soviet and the Nazis have much in common. Inâ€" deed, in many respects it would seem more posâ€" sible to mix Soviet and Nazi than to find a comâ€" mon ground on which the Soviet could work with the democracies. Time, no doubt, will show which of these three theories is the correct one. In the meantime it is interesting to speculate on the possibility of workable alliance between dictator statesâ€"one with anotherâ€"and between dictator states and more democratic ones. Could there be a practical and permanent plan whereby the Soviet and the Nazis could continue as friends and allies? Would an alliance between Russia and Germany lead to an extension of such an alliance to make Russian and Italian fraternize, and Russian and Japanese work amicably together? Or would a Russianâ€" German friendship interfere with the Romeâ€"Berâ€" linâ€"Tokio axis? Would concord between Soviet and Naziland lead to the driving back of Japanese and Italian to their old alliances with Britain? In the world at the present time there are so many clashes of national interest that it is difâ€" ficult to believe that dictator nations can long maintain alliances founded on purely selfish inâ€" terests. At the moment there is reported to be a coolingâ€"off in the warmth of the alliance beâ€" tween Rome and Berlin. A Nazi alliance with the Soviet would not warm up the other friendâ€" ship. As for Japan, it would appear that Tokio would feel forced to believe a direct alliance beâ€" tween Russia and Germany meant nothing else than an affront to Japanese interests and dignity. The dictator nations have proven that they can not get along peacefully with the other nations Oof the world. There seems to be ample reason for the belief that the danger of quarrels between the dictator nations themselves is something that should not be overlooked.
