MacArthur Says Report Confirms His Non-Consultation At Yalta NEW YORK (AP) -- Gen. Doug- |las MacArthur said today the U.S. | defence department report released Wednesday "fully confirms that I was never consulted" concerning the Yalta conference. "The issue involved at the ori- i this controversy was not {whether Russia should have been | brought into the Pacific -.war--this {should have clearly been done at {the very beginning--but whether we should have made vital ter- ritorial concessions at the expense |of Chinese sovereignty to induce | ussia to come in at the end." The former Far East comrzander {said he had urged on Dec. 13, (1941, shortly after Pearl Harbor, that Russia attack from the north. This, he said, would have "saved countless lives, billions of dollars, and spared the Philippines, Ma- laya, the Dutch East Indies, New| Guinea and many Pacific islands." | But, he said, there is "not the slightest hint of documentation" even remotely suggesting he sup- ported territorial concessions.

At the Planning Board m ) i {this week consideration was gi to an Education Board plan buy land in the area for a schodl.

There 1s J more suitable site near King street." i ALREADY BOUGHT "A school is needed between tie one at Harmony road and the school at Alice street." The Jackson property was con- sidered by the board to be more suitable, The board decided that it couldn't recommend an exact site in the area until the city en- gineer had made plans for road extensions, but felt a better site than the suggested one could be obtained. . Mr. W. G. Bunker, Education Board secretary, said today that the land which the Planning Board did not approve is '"'as good as bought." : "We have accepted the offer made," said Mr. Bunker, "but always consult the Planning Board about land purchase.' oming Months Seen Critical The next few months form "a critical moment in the consti- tutional history of this country," Blair Fraser, Ottawa editor of Maclean's magazine, said here last night.

But since there are no strings attached to the new plan offered to the provinces a few weeks ago, Mr. Fraser feels there is a good chance Quebec will accept dong with the other provinces.

The trouble was that much of hindered national unity, stated Mr, | the negotiations went on behind Fraser. The instrument by which true national unity may finally be ach- ieved, in his opinion, is the new tax agreement plan offered to provinces during the federal-prov- |incial talks. The field of taxation has long been a scene of confict, particularly between the fegerak government and Quebec. Jealously guarding Quebec's provincial righis, Premier Maurice Duplessis has refused to come to any tax agreements with Ottawa up until now, and this 'stubborn' attitude has been a barrier .be- to the left side of his face and tween Quebec and the other nine provinces. It has resulted in dis- trust, claims of favorifism and has generally done nothing to remove the race-religion-language barrier which sets Quebec apart from the other provinces SOLVE PROBLEM The new plan offered the prov- inces at the recent talks may solve this problem.

Mr. Ridgely moved and Ald. Dyer seconded a motion recom- {mending . that council 'accept Mr. the! the closed doors and when officials did sssue' statements on progress, they were prizewinners for vagueness and ambiguity. The other thing which could wreck the plan is if too many people take up the cry that this move is ngeant to coddle Quebec. "If things go sour in the next few months--and there are many men across Canada who are subject to strong temptation to denounce this plan as political bribery -- then it will be a long step fbrward for a warned Mr. Fraser. He did not want to see Canad return to the days when the race- religion-language barrier was a much sorer point then it is in 1955. "If all goes well and the plan is accepted," said Mr. Fraser, "it will be a long stee forward to a more secure, prosperous and uni- | fied Canada." By failing to participate in tax agreements with Ottawa, Quebec has lost more than $152,000,000 dur- ing the past several years. Mr. Fraser pointed out that this amounts to $35 per capita for every man, woman and child in the prov- ince which has the heaviest tax burden, in the country. AGREE WITH PREMIER But the people of Quebec ap- | parently agree with Mr. Duplessis | that it is better to lose that money than to surrender a single provin- cial right. The provincial income tax which Mr. Duplessis announced in 1954 is making up part of the gap, but the amount it produces is still less than the amount Duplessis could have gotten by co-operating with Ottawa. But with the new tax plan here, it looks like Quebec may be put on |an equal basis with *1e other nine provinces at last, thus helping to break down one of the big bar- {riers to national unity. At the conference, Mr. Duplessis (had even shown "a new saintli- iness" which was slightly disturb- dr "There is to be some buildin in the area next year and we ne the land for a school to serve these people. We have no plans for early construction," said Mr, | Bunker. : = BIRTHDAYS Congratulations are extend- ed from The Times-Gazette : to Mrs. Gordon Barton, 238 Ritson road south, who is cel- ebrating her birthday today, , Oct. 21 Fine Motorist Sum of $50 An accident in which an {awa cyclist was injured resulted |a conviction of careless driving against a Montreal motorist, J liam Blidner, 39.
