SUMi' _' Y OF CHANGES IN CANADA'S SYSTEM OF TAXATION Abolition of customs war tax five per cent. on British goods. Abolition of customs war tax seven and a half per cent. on foodstuffs, clothing, boots and shoes, hides. skins, leather, harness and saddlery, agri- cultural implements, petroleum oils, mining machinery and bituminous coal. Coffee duty reduced five cents per pound. Tea from Empire reduced three cents per pound. Free wheat and potatoes confirmed by statute. R Agricultural implement duties re- duced approximately to the scale of the reciprocity pact, as follows: From 271/ to 15 per cent. on cultivators, harrows, horse rakes, seed drills, manure spreaders, and weeders, and from 27% to 17% on ploughs, wind- mills, portable engines, and traction engines for farm purposes, horse powers and, threshing machines and appliances. On hayloaders, potato -diggers, fod- der or feed -cutters, grain -crushers. fanning -mills, hay tedders, snaiths and other agricultural implements the re- solutions will provide for a total re- duction in the rate from 32% per cent. to 20 per cent. and a similar reduction on farm wagons. Cement reduced to eight cents per 100 pounds. Business profits tax continued, for this year. Corporations pay ten per cent. on profits in excess of 32,000. Income tax increased to United States rates: The normal rate of four per cent. be levied upon all incomes exceeding one thousand dollars, but not exceeding six thousand dollars in the case of unmarried persons and widows or widowers without depend- ents, and upon all income exceeding two thousand dollars, but not exceed- ing six thousand in the case of all other persons. A normal tax of 8 per cent, upon all incomes exceeding six thousand dol- lars. The surtax commences from five thousand dollars instead of from six thousaud dollars, as at present, and increases by graduation, applying firstly to income between five thou- sand dollars and six thousand dollars and to every two thousand dollars be- tween six thousand dollars and one hundred thousand. dollars. Upon in- comes in excess of one hundred thou- sand dpilars materially increased rates are levied. LESS THAN 80,000. CANADIANS TO COME A despatch from London says: - There are less than 80,000 Canadians now awaiting repatriation. Over 54,000 sailed during May. The last units of the Fourth Di- vision sailed on the Olympic on Fri- day. About 2,500 Canadians, consisting of the hospital staff, remain in France.

TO START FLIGHT FROM ENGLAND The British Admiralty Cancels "Hop" of Commander Porte From Newfoundland, A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., says: -Announcement by Major Part- ridge, R,A.F,, 'special agent for the British Admiralty ,in connection with the proposed trans-Atlantic seaplane flight of Commander John Cyril Porte, that he had been summoned home, was construed by the 13ritish aviators here as. an indication that the Admiralty had cancelled Com- mander Porte's flight and was con- centrating all its efforts on the pro- posed flight of the d,irigihle R-84, from England. Advices received hero indicate that the R-34 will start not later than June 20. It is understood that the big ship will fly first from, Eng- land to Labrador, then south over Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New England to New York. After stop- ping at New York for inspection the R-34 will proceed to Florida, where atmospheric concl,itions will permit of her being moored in the open until the -future direction and scope of the cruise has been determined. Major Partridge also was serving as official starter here for the Royal Aero Club of the trans-Atlantic flights by the crews of the Handley - Page, Vickers-Vimy and Martinsyde planes now being assembled here. His departure, however, will not af- fect the plans of these crews, all of Whom are rushing preparations in the hope of "hopping off" before the R-34 leaves England. HUN SHIP LOSSES 3,500,000 TONNAGE Sunk, Captured and Seized by the Allies During War. A despatch from London says: - Vice -Admiral Hollweg, writing in the Vossische Zeitung, estimates the Ger- man mercantile• marine before the war at a gross tonnage of five and a half millions. In the four and a half years of the war about three-quarters of a million tons were added, little more than the output of a single normal year. During the war about 1,000,000 tons were captured by the enemy, of which 325,000 tons were taken on the high seas. Two and a half million tons took refuge lin neutral harbors, but as neutrals came into the war the great- er part of this was lost. To Spain a total of 22,000 tons and to Holland 38,000 tons were given in compensa- tion for losses due to the U-boat cam- paign. He estimates that, in all, Germany lost about three and a half millions of gross tonnage during the war. BRITAIN WILL PURCHASE ALL HAUB E CANADIAN FOODSTUFFS British Food Controller Has Already Arranged For the Import of Bacon, Butter and Lard -Big Demand For Cheese. A despatch from London says:- Negotiations ays:Negotiations are now in progress be- tween Britain and Canada for the supply of all available foodstuffs to the former. High as are prices Canada at the present, it is on ar- rangements with her and her sister Dominions that the Mother Country is pinning her hope of cheaper food prices, now that control has been removed. Already arrangements have been made for the export of bacon, butter, lard, etc., from Canada during the present year, while the British Food Controller, Mr. G. H. Roberts, advocates permanent arrangements with a view to making the Empire self-supporting. There has been a rapid reduction in British food prices, but during the last month the figures were 107 per cent. higher than before •the war as compared with 138 per cent. in November. It is threatened, however, that next Winter prices may be higher than ever, and it ,is for this reason that all available sur- pluses of food are being secured from Canada, Australia, South Africa and the other overseas Dominions. For bacon supplies, for instance, Britain will continue to be dependent on Can- ada and the United 'States, but fears competitive buying by Germany and Austria in this market. The stocks of bacon owned by the Ministry of Food are almost exhausted, and bacon will probably cast 3s. 6d. a pound very soon. As regal;ds butter, Govern- ment contracts have been made with Australia •and New Zealand for their exportable surplus up to next sum- mer, while negotiations are also in progress to obtain all available sup- plies from Canada as well as the United States, Holland, etc. Lard is expected to- Ue extremely expensive, and Britain alone could take all of Canada's surplus. As regards cheese, supplies are to be imported on private •account from Canada. Mr. H. B. Thomson, ex -Canadian Food Control- ler, ,states that .the Canadian farm- What is a man's life worth in cold ers could increase their production dollars; or, in other words, how much tenfold and still be unable to meet is he willing to pay the person who all demands for the next few years. rescues him from an almost certain The Canadian production, he says, is death?

After a MARVELS OF UNDIS- COVERED DIS- CO ERED CONTINENT LITTLE IS KNOWN OF INTERIOR QF SOUTH•AMERICA. Inviting Field for Enterprising Young Canadians With Capital and a Knowledge of Spanish. The undiscovered continent is 5.`It4t America. It is far less known t,eo- graphically than Africa, and much of what appears on its maps is derived from the imagination of the carto- grapher. Most"of the interior of South Ameri- ca has never been explored. C:i ii::a- tion.might be said to occupy not,much more than the edges of the continent, which, as a whole, is sparsely popu- lated relatively to its vast area. From this time on, however, a flood -. of people from overcrowded pnrts of the world will doubtless pour Intl it; for it has not only plenty of rcom to offer, but also fabulius wealth. The natural resources of other terrestrial areas have been to a great extent used up, but those of South America are virtually untouched. Its tropical regions no longer defy settlement by white men, because of deadly fevers. We now know how to clean them up and make them health- fuIly habitable. The jungles of the in- terior harbor many tribes of savages, some of them reputed cannibals, but those of them who do not accept con- trol will be quickly wiped out. Argentine Most Advanced Country. The most highly developed country in South America is Argentina. Its heart (meaning the state of Buenos Aires and adjacent territory) is gras- sy and treeless. In the west, along the foothills of the Andes, is a very rich agricultural belt. The River Plate affords a more ex- tensive system of unobstructed navi- gation than any other stream in the world. It offers a greater number of miles of navigable water than all the rivers of Europe combined. Stea,s of twenty -foot draft can go 2,700 miles into the interior, those loading for Europe being able literally to enter the wheat fields and ranches to take aboard their cargoes. From the Rio Negro south to Ma- gellan Straits stretches an enormous territory -1000 miles in length -called Patagonia, the interior of which is mostly unexplored desert. Wandering - tribes, semicivilized, inhabit is -the tallest people in the world, whose stature (the men often exceeding six feet by several inches) caused Magel- lan to describe the country as the home of giants. South of Magellan Straits is Tierra del Fuego, a group of islands largely fenced off into great sheep ranches. The aborigines --whose smoke signals caused Magellan to bestow the name Land of Fire -have been either killed off or reduced to serviture. Valuable Forests in Paraguay. Paraguay (not far from the middle of the continent) has the most valu- able forests in the world, called the Gran -Chaco, or Great Woods. Full of pumas and other huge cats, monkeys of ever so many speries and gorgeous birds. they aro composed largely of precious woods, particularly those that will not float in water, such as iron- wood and black palm. In the very Ear north of South America is the Orinoco, one of the great rivers of the world. From ;t there are waterways through which vessels can actually make their way nearly 3,000 miles southward into the River Plate. Or a much shorter trip will take them into one or another of the affluents of the Amazon, in the mouth of which lies an island as large as Denmark. South America to -day invites the en- terprising young man as does no other part of the world. Dut he will make a mistake to go there unless he has some money and enough Spanish to get along with.
