TINUANCE OF EXCESS PROFITS DUTY
All Pre -War Businesses Will lay Taxi for Period of Seven
t Years, Says British Chancellor of the Exchequer.•—With
New Businesses Tax is to Cease.
I �.
fi despatch from London says:--
Chancellor of the Excbequor Cham-
exltvin, apeaking in Birmingham on
ay night, made an ennopnce-
Imont, important to English businesee
peen, that the much -reviled eeic ss
profits duty will be discontinued this
pear. The duty is eharged on the am -
omit by 'ivhdeh the profits from all
trades and businesses exceed by more
than £200 the pre-war standard ad'
profits, The duty is equal to 60 per
tent, of excess profits. For the year
2919-20 it brought 8290,043,000 into
the Exchequer, and revenue from the
mane source fpr the year ending
March 31 next is estimated at £220,-
000,000.
Mr, Clmutberlain announced all pre-
war businesses will pay a tax for a
period of seven years, dating from
the first accountancy period hi which
they fell within the scope of the tax,
Il'or all new businesses it will cense
as from December 81 ket.
Further, he undertakes to impose
no new tmx in substitution, There
may, he said, be some new duties in
the Budget for ands -dumping purpose-
es, but there definitely will not be any
new revenue-producing impost upon
business,
He •admitted the excess profits duty
Was open to great objections It was
to a large extent, arbitrary in its do
aidenee, tended to encourage extnava-
ganee in industry, and discourage
enterprise, and the only justification'
for it Was to lie found in the crucial
need for money and in the fact that,
at the tine when moot people were
suffering leas of income, certain peo-
ple, through the same teniae, the war,
were earning abnornal profits.
UNREST CONTINUES
IN BRITISH INDIA
Violent Campaign Against
Government Despite Pro- .
mised Remedy.
A despatch from London says:—
Unrest continues among the peasants
of the united Provinces of Agra and
Oudh, British India, according to a
despat.eh to The London Times from
A1lahabad.. Agitators are reported to
be carrying on 'a violent campaign
against the Government, despite the
fact that legislation hes been prom-
ised to remedy their grievances.
In the latest instance of disorder a
thousand personslay down upon -,the
railroad track in order to halt a train
en which they believed their leader,
who had been arrested, was being
transported.
When persuasion failed the police
were ordered to clear the track. The
crowd then made an attack with
stones, whereupon the police opened
fire with buckshot,

BRITAIN HAS
50 -PASSENGER PLANE
Thousand Horsepower Air-
plane Motor is Most
Powerful Known.
A despatch from London says:—
The successful testing of a L000 -
horsepower aero engine, which is said
to be the most powerful known, has
opened up claims by experts of the
possibility of a regular London -New
York aerial service, and a complete
passage within 24 hours, either direct
or by changing aircraft at the Acores
Islands.
It is being recalled by the •experts
that Capt. Jahn Alcock in 1919 flew
from Newfoundland to Ireland in less
than 16 hours, using two 876 -horse-
power engines. The new engine is
called the "Cub," It was ordered by
the Royal Air Force. It is understood
that the Titania, a flying boat destroy-
er which is to be used in long-distance
patrols, will be equipped with two
"Cubs," and have a range of 1,600
miles. For war time the crew will
number ten, and for civilian use the
craft can accommodate 60 passengers.
The Cub's 18 cylinders on a test
indicated 1,067 horsepower in 20 hours
of running. The engine weighs nearly
a ton, and costs about £5,000.

Encouraging Symptom
of France's Recovery
A despatch from Paris says:
—For the first time in a number
of years the population of
France shows an increase.
Official figures prove that dur-
ing the first quarter of 1920
there were 67,946 more births
than deaths. The births num-
bered 424,668; the deaths 356,-
722. These figures include the
devasted region and Alsace-Lor-
raine. The population of France
is given as 41,476,000.
The Paris newspapers declare
these figures the most encourag-
ing symptom of the country's re-
covery from the ravages of the
war that has yet appeared.
TWELVE MONTHS'
NAVAL HOLIDAY
Abstention From Big Ship-
building Program Recom-
mended.
A despatch from London says:
The draft of the report of the Imper-
ial Defence Sub -committee has been
completed, and it recommends absten-
tion from a big shipbuilding program
for a period of twelve months.
The object of the delay, it is learn-
ed, is to give time for official nego-
tiations among the United States, Ja-
pan, and 'Great Britain for a curtail-
ment of their navies.
There will be no action on the re-
port for several months yet, and at
any event the decision of the Govern-
ment will need the ratification of the
Imperial Conference, which is to be
held in June.
Meantime the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty will request the` House of
Commons to agree to a postponement
of the naval estimates.
Australia and Canada are closely
watching every move in the naval
situation. Senator E. D.'Millen, Act-
ing Premier of Australia, who left
for Melbourne from London on
S-aturclay, gave out a statement on
Thursday, in which he expressed con-
fidence that the Imperial statesmen
will back Australia's immigration
policy.
Australia wants a recognition of
the status quo in the Southern and
Eastern Pacific, achieving such a
cemrnunaty of interest that the mad
naval race between the Occident and
the Orient would cease, but where
this race proceeds it is vital to Aus-
tralia that the British interests in the
Pacific should be safeguarded,
Trade With Russia
Offered to Canada
•
A despatch from London, Eng:,
says:—Canadian manufacturers are
offered an opportunity to trade with
Russia under conditions guaranteed
to be absolutely sale by the British -
Baltic Association, which is in process
of formation in London, according to
a statement made by the honorary
secretary of the association, Mr. G.
W. Mason. Representatives of over
one hundred important mercantile in-
terests are connected with this body,
whose efforts to re-establish British
trade with the Baltic States and
through them with Russia, are at-
traeting attention in the British press.
Cold Wave Has
Struck Newfoundland
A despatch from St. John's, Nfld.,
says,—The Newfoundland coast is ice-
bound as a result of the severest cold
of the winter. The northern bays and'
Conception Bay, ten miles north of
this city, are solidly frozen over and
the mail steamers have abandoned
their service. St. John's harbor has a
thick coating of ice, which makes the ' -
movement of shipping difficult.

ALLIES STATE WHAT
GERMANY MUST PAY
Total Damages Collectable Be-
tween 210 and 250 Billion
Gold Marks.
A despatch from Paris says:—The
Reparations Commission eatimates
that the total dameges,of all the Al-
lies collectable from Germany will be
between 210,000,000,000 and 260,000,-
000,000 gold marks, according to an
official announcement. The Ministry
of Foreign Affairs calculates that the
Supreme Council's fixed indemnities,
if capitalized, should yield about 76,-
000,000,000 gold marks.
The figures of the Reparations Com-
mission, which just have been totalled,
show that France's damages amount
to 110,000,000,000 gold narks of
which amount 75,000,000,000 gold
marks are charged to devastated re-
gions and 9,000,000,000 gold marks for
pensions. The estimate of 75,000,-
000,000 gold marks, as capital repre-
sented by the 226,000,000,000 gold
marks fixed by the Supreme Council,
although approximately only one-third
of the damages, will be supplemented
by the twelve per cent. Gelman export
tax.
At the ministry of foreign affairs,
it was explained that the twelve per
cent. export tax was net intended as
a direct tax on exports to be applied
to each shipment out of Germany, but
a figure that the Allies demand that
Germany shall pay in a lump sum in
addition to the fixed indemnities,

• Small Hands of Mischief.
How small a matter may kindle a
great fire is again illustzated in the
dispatch from Bombay which de-
scribes the riot that ensued upon the
killing of two pigeons by European
boys. The pigeon is sacred among
Mohammedans; and in the present in-
flammable state of Indian feeling
against the countries of the West it
was not hard for the native agitators
to make political capital cut of the
incident. The Sepoy mutiny was pre-
cipitated by the fact that Indian sol-
diers were compelled to bite off the
ends of bullets smeared with cow
grease, and their religion forbade this
defiling contact.
Some years ago two little boys of
Newfoundland, playing with matches,
set fire to a forest tract whose des-
truction meant a loss of millions of
dollars. That child's play Was costly,
but the loss was inaterial, determin-
able,and limited. In the present in-
stance none can say where the mis-
chief ends, for on the wings of rumor
a story is spread broadcast and a local
misunderstanding is rehearsed and
magnified until it becomes a mone-
strous general grievance. The author-
ities in India to -day are striving in
all possible ways to reduce the temp-
erature of the burning fever of the
body politic. They have reason to rue
the day that these two youngsters of
alien breed in ]filling the birds roused
the temper of the crowd to fighting
fury and provided the seditionists with
more campaign material.

Germany Has Lowest
Per Capita Tax
A despatch from Paris says:
—A comparative table of taxa-
tion in Germany, and three of
the allied countries, Great Bri-
tain, France and Italy, is used to
show Germany's ability to bear
a greater burden, in a joint
statement issued by the various
delegations of experts who par-
ticipated in the Brussels con-
ference.
The per capita taxes, except
local charges, for the current fis-
cal year in Germany are 599
marks; in France, 390 francs; in
Italy, 200 lire, and in Great Bri-
tain, £22, the statement says.
On the basis of recent New
York exchange rates the per
capita tax in dollars in`Germany
is $7.30; in France, $28.08; in
Italy, $7.34; and in Great Bri-
tain, $83.87.
The University Professor.
Occasionally there are evidences
that the ancient idea that a university
professor works only about half as
long and half as hard as do other
people is not yet entirely dead, This
idea was based on the false assump-
tion that the professor works only
when he is before his classes and is
actually engaged in teaching. Though
traces of the old notion still remain,
anyone who knows a university pro-
fessor of the twentieth century real-
izes that he works harder and longer
than most business men and that his
hours of labor are not fewer than
those of the farmer. Some people
say that the farmer does not work in
winter; the farmer indignantly de-
nies this, and he is right. Some peo-
ple also say that the professor does
no work in summer; he denies this
just es indignantly as does the farmer
and he is equally right.
The professor's teaching is not even
half of the work he is called upon to
perform. Dealing always with the
brightest of youthful intellects, he
camtot afford to fail in preparation of
his work; hemust be always up to
the minute in his information. Five
hours to twenty hours of preparation
frequently precede one hour of lectur-
ing. Summers provide a time for
reading, for research, for advance-
ment in knowledge.
Then there is the reading and mark-
ing of essays and exercises—hundreds
of them. Also the reading and valu-
ing of examination papers—again
hundreds of them. Also committees
for discussion and settlement of
courses, of administrative details, of
the hundred and one matters, large
and small, that have to be considered
in the work of a great institution of
learning.
There is one art that the arverage
university professor does not under-
stand—the art of self•advertisement.
He does his work faithfully, works in
the evenings and often on into the
mornings, works when his neighbors
think he is resting or holidaying, but
says little about it. He is one of those
who "do good by stealth." Perhaps
this is 'a mistake, because people gen-
erally aro inclined to 'believe only
what they actually see,

Heavy Fire Losses in 1920.
Canada closed the year 1920 with a
fire loss of approximately $27,400,000,
equal to $3.42 per alpha, on an eight
million population, or 517.10 per fami-
ly—a new records grad one worthy of
mush thought.
An analysis, of this fire lase discloses'
certain facts which are net creditable
to the business life of the country,
and which account, is part, for sum
high cost of protection in Canada, as.
compared with Europe. One.hralf of
the fire waste was due to 72 fires, prac-
tically in all commercial property.
Fires causing damage of 510,000 and
over numbered 301, and these again
were largely -1 business property,
A question which every business
mar should study is, "Why tbese
fires?"
Are we more interested in what we
earn than in the means by which we
earn it?"
Are we so intently •watcbdng sales
that we cannot devote sufficient atter•
Um. to the plants which make the
sales possible?"
True, the average business man
carries insurance, but this is charged
up to cost of production, and the
people pay the insurance. Is it fair
to the public, however, to charge more
insurance cost than necessary owing
to failure to protect the plant from
fire?
With modern methods of fire pro-
tection available, no business man
should he permitted to increase un-
necessarily the cost of living through
neglect or carelessness in eliminating
fire dangers. Section fire of the Crim-
inal Code as amended says: "Iovory
one is Guilty of an indictable offence,
and liable to two years' imprisonment,
who by negligence causes any fire
which occasions loss o1 life or loss of
Property," The rigid enforcement of
this section would probably do more
to reduce the fire waste than any other
influence which might be brought to
bear.
Why Our Teeth Chatter.
The little muscles, which close the
jaw are acted upon by the cold in
such a way that they pull the jaw up
and then let it fall by its own weight.
This, repeated many tunes, causes
the teeth to click together and pro-
duce what we know as "chattering."
We think of it in conmeet1on with
our teeth because tt is the. teeth which
make the sound, but the cause lies in
the muscles• which wet use in chewing
or in opening our mouth when we
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite of the
will or brain. We have little control
over it, and can stop it only by clench-
ing the teeth. It is really a mild
variety of spasm caused by the cold,
which acts on the jaw muscles in
much the same way that some poison
produoe muscular spasms which can-
not be controlled.
