(CP) Canadian and -Australian soldiers are unlikely ever again to come to Europe to fight, the Sunday Times says today in an editorial on the Imperial Conference to be held after the Coronation. Emphasizing its view that International affairs and Imperial defence will take up most of the conference's time, the newspaper says the Dominions reject the doctrine that "peace is one and indivisible," at least in its more inflexible forms.

"Here," the editorial continues, "their view accords substantially with that of the British Government. The people of the Dominions also share with the people of Great Britain a profound aversion to the idea of conscripting lor the past two years for air lines linking Japan with her neighbors, especially the Philippines, Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. Such services would require, a landing point in the region of Hong Kong. Limit to Expansion. Thus far Japan has been able to extend her southern air routes only as far as her own colony of Formosa.

SHANGHAI, March 14. UPh-Financial circles asserted today that British intervention had blocked efforts of Japan to obtain an air base at Macao, Portuguese colony off the southeastern coast of China. Macao lies 40 miles southwest of the British colony of Hong Kong, and authorities there disliked the prospect of Japan obtaining her long-desired aviation foothold in Southeastern Asia.

They offered, these sources reported, a large rental, which the Mnran needing funds for public works. as disposed to accept. The Hong Kong Government, however, learning of this situation, quickly offered the Portuguese, through the British Hong Kong and Shanghai banking corporation, the needed funds on easy terms. The Portuguese accepted. Japan's search for an air base in Southeastern Asia was continuing, said British circles, at Hong Kong.

"And in particular," it adds, "they must consider what it anything they can do towards meeting the need for the defence of the Empire as a whole, it would be very shortsighted on the part of the Dominions if they expected Great Britain to bear alone the Alberta Files Debt Act Appeal -s Moves to Quash Invalidation by Supreme Court. EDMONTON.

March 14. CP) Appeal from the Alberta Supreme Court decision invalidating the Reduction and Settlement of Debts Act. major enactment of the Abcr-hart Government relating to private) debts, was filed during the week-end. It probably will be heard at the April session of the Appeal Court. The appeal will be from the judgment of Mr.

Justice A. K. Ewing which outlawed the-Debt Act and which led directly to the imposition of a 60-day moratorium on private debts by the Government. The judgment invalidated the act because it dealt primauly with interest, a legislative piero-gative of the Dominion. Meanwhile, the Government has been studying an alternative scheme for reduction of debts, based on of principal with the interest rate the deciding factor on the percentage of reduction.

Policy Need t)ie Company in Take Advantage of the Worth-while Savings Offered Throughout the Store here; ARE SOME ADDED ATTRACTIONS! The right of persons to vol ill munjcip, elections on the strength of paying provincial Income tax to be ended by a measure now be- fore the Ontario Legislature.

In troduced by Hon. D. A. Croll, Minister of Municipal Affair. In former years when Ottawa had its own income Ux assessment those who could not vote as prop erty-owners, or tenants, usually single persons, were able to vote if assessed on at least $400 or in come, allowing for the statutory exemptions.

This income vol was also available to property owners and tenants, but like the others only in the ward In which the income was earned. They could vote only once for mayor and Hoard of Control candidate hut for aldermanic candidates in as many wards as they had votes on property -or income assessment. When the Ontario Government decided in 1035 on the Income tax as a new form of provincial reVe nue, the municipalities had to) cease this form of taxation. Ther was protest from persons who sw they wooJd be disenfranchised in municipal elections. The prov- mcial authorities then ruled that a person paying at least $15 In provincial income tax could vota in the municipalities where they formerly voted on th local In come tax assessment.
