INCOME TAX DISCUSSION

To The Editor. Hongkong Daily Press

S'In the course of the Income Tax. debate at the Legislative Council meeting on Thursday, the Governor was good enough to de- clare that "there is no question of calling up the official majority to support a measure which would extract a gift to the Imperial Government." This declaration makes it abundantly clear that the revenue expected to be raised from Income Tax will be used as a gift to the Imperial Government presumably for the duration of the war.

Whether such a provision bas been, or will be, embodied in the draft Bill now under considera- tion of the Special Committee is not yet known to the man in the street.

Assuming that revenue from In- come Tax will also be applied. in part, to meet the general expendi- ture of the Colony, a nine point arises.

The question which I would like to raise is one having to do with the personal emolu- ments and pensions of Govern-.. "ment employees directly provided for out of revenue raised by virtue of the authority of the Appropria- tion Bill each year.

WHILE EUROPE IS thus once again in the throes of another big conflict we can still remember, on this day, all those who gave up their lives for their King and Country in the last Great War-a war that was to end all wars. Although there will be no Armistice Day observance, to- morrow has been set aside as Remembrance Sunday.. Let us, therefore, remember be- fore God those millions of brave souls who made the supreme sacrifice in 1914-18 and pray for His guidance in the dark days that lle ahead.
