HERE will be few, if any,
about complaints amendments to the Inland Revenue Ordinance, intro- duced in Bill form for first rending at yesterday's Legis- lative Council. Government has expressed a vote of con- fidence in the report of the Inland Revenue Ordinance Committee by adopting the majority of Its recommen- dations, and the, net result is a rational and acceptable piece of legislation.

For married men who contri- bute salaries, tax two help- ful concessions are proposed
increase in -- $2,000 wife's allowance, and the casing of the conditions attaching to the grant of children's allowances. Both are practical forms of relief which will benefit substan- tal numbers of taxpayers, and they will be keenly appreciated.
The provisief for taxing pen- sions may give rise to mis. givings. How this section of the amended Ordinancé will in fact operate is not too clear and further official elucidatiun is desirable. Our Impression is that it is in- tended to tax local pensions only if the pensioner is also reeviving income from other sources. But the real mean- ing and intent of the see- tion is vague and calls for clarification.

Bombay, Aug. 17.
Thousands of Indians massed today near the border of Goa for a new "peaceful liberation" invasion of the tiny Portuguese colony.
Reports reaching here from the border town of Banda indicated that another mass march into Goa was scheduled for tomorrow despite the failure of a similar attempt on Monday at the cost of 29 Indian lives.
The reports said 500 volunteers were marching toward Banda and were expected to reach there to morrow. Another 1,000 Indians were massed in the town with the expressed intention of continuing the "Satyagraha" (peaceful liberation movement).
The bodies of three Indians killed by Portuguese bullets in Monday's march were brought
