There Is crying need in Nova Fewer people It is fundamental that farmers the shoulders of the province (as they will be it the Report Is im- plemented), there will be greater assistance to the local centres and municipalities, by the province. Lower Taxes on Real Estate Take the case of yeal estate tax- es. The tax-on property Is high, far too high. Property has borne far more than it should for education. That has fallen on the small pro- perty holder in greater proportion then it has on the big property. owner, With the case and burden of the province made lighter the province will be able to do some- thing towards the assistance of the small property owner, much more than is being done now. w» The Report finds many cases of glaring inequalities, and also that real estate taxes are far too high. This is becausé the municipalities are badly in need of money and real estate taxation is one way of getting that moriey. But implement --the Report in-{its general recom- cipal revenue for the country as'a AGAINST- AXIS POWERS I] In a dramatic broadcast, - -the first since his re-election, Presi- dent Roosevelt last week stirred the democratic world with the de- claration -- "based on the latest and best information" -- that the Axis powers were 'not going to win this war". At the same time, stating, that a British defeat meant that the U.S. would live at "point of gun", 'he called upon his nation to become the "great arsenal of democracy", to do all it could to support the nations defending themselves against at- tack by the Axis. : i The Convoy Question The President's call for "more 'ships, more guns, more planes,-- more of everything" for Great Britain focussed. immediate at- tention on proposals to send 50 Country. The problem was cer- tain to becdme urgent very shortly and upon its decision hinged the entry or non-entry of the United States into the war. (Before any further steps could be taken, however, Congress would have to approve of the President's pro- gram). "Next Ninety Days" The belief held by most obser- vers last weck was that Hitler would try for a knock-out blow at "England soon, even before spring, timing his "all-out" at- tack to .

A dramatic move by Russin to seize the mouths of the Danube or the Dar- danelles was believed quite pos- sible. Turkey, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria -- chiefly Bulgaria « whose King continued to stand firm against the Axis -- had bad cases of the jitters. But the main German effort was still thought to be concentrating in the west, with an attack on Britain top-. most on the agenda. . . . - Diplomatic "Defeat In the Far East, Japan suffer- ed an important diplomatic de- feat in its attempt to effect more friendly relations with Russia when Moscow refused te make premanent the temporary agree- for what appeared to be an early COMES FROM $00 DONORS The blood, whieh comes from 800 donors supplied By the Canadian Red Cross, 1s evaporated Into powder form in a $5,000 vacuum machine In which the university, the department of national defenco Syrup Valuable Energy ; Food, "© ROYAL BANK HAS To - SATISFACTORY.
