North Bay Nugget from North Bay, Ontario, Canada • 2

NORTH BAY DAILY NUGGET, TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1942 SEE EARLY SHIPPING ON LAKES Expect Big Movement to Get Under Way April 15 Shipping along the continent's far-flung inland waterway--from the head of the lakes to the St. Lawrence--is headed toward an early opening and one of the busiest seasons in years as total war bring record demand for the tools to finish the job. Wheat from bulging elevators, iron ore from the head of the lakes, coal and miscellaneous cargo await transit to ports along the waterway, a survey by the Canadian Press showed. Men and ships are ready. Navigation out of some ports has opened while elsewhere the clank of winches and smo' around the waterfront tells the story of preparations.

Most shipping men expect the big movement will be underway by April 15, the date when marine insurance takes effect. Ordinarily, heavy freighters don't start until then but wartime demands and unusually mild weather may induce them to take the risk. The season opened at Goderich March 21 when Capt. Earl Jenkins brought the Imperial Oil Tanker Acadialite into port. Lake Ontario navigation started Monday when the coal carrier Coalfax cleared Port Dalhousie for Oswego, N.Y., to pick up coal for Toronto.

Whether enough men are available for the mighty shipping task is a matter of some doubt in various ports. The Canadian Seamen's Union in Toronto, however, reported plenty of unskilled labor but a shortage of experienced hands. Two thousand of the union's members have joined Canada's armed forces while others went to deep-sea work to help maintain the flow of supplies to Britain. Scanning the elevator skyline on the Fort William and Port Arthur waterfront, where 138,000,000 bushels of grain are stored, officials smiled with satisfaction at the possibility of an early opening. Icebreakers which cleared a channel from open water, now are busy opening up various parts of the harbor, Chinese in Burma Sure of Victory Chinese Field Headquarters in Central Burma, March 24 Crack Chinese fighters among the United Nations' defenders of Burma are confident they can whip the Japanese even It the enemy masses his greatest striking power for one attack.

That the front before Toungoo, the immediate goal of Japan's push into inner Burma, stands today in the vicinity of Pyu, 30 miles down the road from Toungoo, backs up the Chinese assurance as no empty boast. Before the tough Chinese units, under command of Joseph Stilwell, went into action along the trunk Mandalay highway and held off a new attack the enemy was even closer to his objective. Pyu itself changed hands twice in 48 hours but the drive was halted and the Chinese now are entrenched in the riverside jungles, bare brown paddyfields and fire-blackened ruins of Burmese homes, ready with machine guns and mortars for the next Japanese thrust. (Some details of this encounter were announced in a Chinese high command communique at Chungking yesterday which said a Japanese attack "in strong force" last Friday was met with powerful counter assaults in the Pyu River area.)

PROVINCIAL MEMBERS IN SESSION Ontario House to Deal With Tax Transfer Immediately Toronto, March 24-The Ontario legislature, its work interrupted by the negotiations that preceded the transfer of corporation and income taxes to the dominion government reconvenes today and will deal immediately with legislation to validate the tax transfer. The session opened February 11 and adjourned one week later on February 18 when Premier Hepburn admitted he could not proceed with his budget until an agreement had been reached with federal authorities on the tax matter.

"Made: a Deal" Last Thursday Premier Hepburn announced the two governments had made a deal; the legislature would reconvene March 24 and validating legislation would be pushed through as speedily as possible so that the province would obtain a certain portion of the subsidies before the end of the fiscal year March 31. Some $3,000,000 is at present in the federal treasury which will be paid over immediately the agreement is validated by the legislature. This amount is part of the 039 which the dominion has undertaken to pay the province annually in return for acquiring sole taxing rights on income and corporations. The figure constitutes the revenue realized by the province from these sources for the year ending March 31, 1941. Under the arrangement Ontario is also guaranteed the same revenue which accrued from the gasoline tax in that year.

In 1941 the net revenue from this tax was 608,290 and should this year's receipts drop below this figure as a result of rationing the federal government undertakes to make up the difference. George A. Drew, the Conservative leader who made the original suggestion that the legislature adjourn until the tax transfer had been completed, will not be in his seat today and the opposition will be led by Leopold Macaulay member for York South. Col. Drew is in Ottawa participating in the inquiry concerning the despatch of Canadian troops to Hong Kong.
