INCREASE POTATO DUTY. to come, OTTAWA, May 12—In retaliation for the increased duty placed by the Fordney tariff on Canadian potatoes imported from the United States was increased from 20 cents to 85 cents per 100 pounds in the budget presented to the house of commons today. The new rate will be effective tOMOrrow. The duty on Canadian potatoes going Into the United States is now 50 cents per hundredweight. The duty on potatoes imported from all countries imposing a duty on Cana- dian potatoes also was increased. In presenting the budget, W. S. Fielding, minister of finance, esti mated a surplus of $14,000.000 on or- dinary account in the current year, which would, however, be turned into a $60,000,000 deficit by requirements of the national rallways, computed at $74.000.000. The budget provided for numerous important revisions of revenue taxes and tariffs, the income tax to remain unchanged. Imposition of the sales tax at the source is stipulated, a 6 per cent rate to apply to all imports and home manufactures. In customs, the preferential tarift is reduced by a 10 per cent discount in the duty under the exlsting com- putation, when the taxable goods are Conveyed without transshipment into a sea or river port of Canada. This discount will not apply on wines, malt liquors, spirits. spirituous ligquors, liquid medicines and articles contain- ing alcohol, spgar. tobacco, cigarettes, or on goods upon which the duty rate does nmot exceed 15 per cent, or on | &oods admitted to the Dominion under | the Canada-West Indies agreement. The tax on confectionery and bev- | erages is repealed. Carbonic acid gas | in cylinders will be subject to a duty of 1 cent a pound. The tax on beet root sugar also is lifted.

MOSCOW, May 12.—All Moscow's factorfes and government institutions ! were closed this morning to permit the employes to take part in a great demonstration against the British note. Surging crowds early began to fill the streets of the city. The in- tent of the demonstrants seemed to be peaceful, but it appeared evident they meant to make the demonstra- tion an impressive one. Deputy Foreign Minister Ganetsky's | declaration to the Moscow Councii of Trades Unions that, although Russia willing to confer with Great Brit- lain over the differences between the . “cannot accept | two countries, sh such an ultimatum™ as was set forth by Lord Curzon, is taken here as an indication of the trend of official cpin- fon toward the British note. Labor Opposed Break. Ganetsky told the council that the soviet government desired no break with Britain. “We say to England,” he asserted, “let us talk the matter over. But do nat dictate.” Ganetsky's statement that “Russia is against those who want to enslave found @ reflection in the resolu- tion passed by the council announcing that Russia was ready if necessary to respond with armed force to those who try to infringe upon her inde- pendence.
