graphed to Finance Minister Ilsley

the proposal announced in the bud
get address April 90 to increase the
nonresident income tax on Cana
dian securities other than Domlon-

Ontario wishes to dissociate itself
from this impost and wishes to honor
its obligations with nonresident
bondholders in the exact terms of
the contract" Mr.. Hepburn's teie-
gram said, asking the government to
reconsider the proposal and find
some way to avoid arousing "the
merited resentment of American
holders of bonds of Canadian prov
inces.'
The proposed action, Mr.. Hep

of provincial credit" because by eX-
empting income from dominion
bonds and bonds guaranteed by the
dominion you discriminate against

He said American insurance and

cept the impost which was viewed
"as being ill-timed and ungrateful"

German Bond Slump
Arouses Speculation
In Wall Street
Interest Heightened
By Big Turnover in
Government 517s
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Wall Street
financial circles speculated today on
the origin of selling which in the
last week or so had resulted in a
considerable decline in prices of
German government bonds listed in
the New York Stock Exchange.
Interest was heightened by big
increase today in turnover in the
government 5l2s. Bonds with par
value of 100000 changed hands.
which compared with normal daily
average of $4,000 to $4,000 over the
last few months. This issue dropped
to $50 per 1000 from an opening
price of 500 The per cent bonds
dropped to $85 from S95.
At the close the bonds were $50 to
$50 under the 194l highs.
International banking quarters
said there was no way of determln-
ing Immediately where the selling
came from or the identity of the
buyers. The movement recalled the
wide interest aroused a few months
ago when the same issues recorded
a sharp advance over a period of
several weeks amid much futile
quizzing of bond brokers for an ex-
PLANTATION.
The German government, by a
somewhat complex arrangement
has made provision at irregular
periods for interest payments on
the bonds at figures representing a
sharp discount from the coupon
rates.

 Kidd, enlisted from Harrodsburg, Ky, said he saw a hotel room door ajar, with light on, early. in the morning and he entered, thinking it a room of a friend.
 Kidd said he saw roll of bills sticking from a coat pocket and yielded to the temptation.
 Chilled off and on since last Tuesday night, he finally admitted the theft. The sum of $34 was re- covered and Kidd said he threw $500 under restaurant table when he saw an arresting officer ap- preaching. No trace of that money nor the remainder has been found, however.

Revealing that work has started on project to rehabilitate An chorage as port and allow large sea-going vessels to discharge there, Col. B. c. Dunn, District Army En- gineer for Alaska, flew north to Fairbanks today after arriving on the northbound Douglas from &c., attle last night.
 Col. Dunn said that the imme- diate project for the port of An- chorage will probably not involve much more an expenditure than $l00.000, saying that if necessary, cargo would be lightered into the pier, which is now being rebuilt. He indicated however, that the work would be much more extenS- i've and is being planned by spec ial survey crews and engineers of the Army Engineers, who are mak- ing complete surveys of Cook Inlet.
 The statement of the district en- gineer cleared up statements of other Army officers passing through Juneau who said the Alaska Rail- road from Seward to Anchorage was vulnerable to sabotage and bombing" and that something was going to be done to eliminate the possibility of freight stoppage into Anchorage or Fairbanks"
 Col. Dunn, travelling with his aide, Major D. P. Booth, left his Seattle headquarters yesterday on a circuit tour of inspection of Army bases in Alaska. Tomorrow the two Army men will fly to Fort Rich- ardson by Army bomber for an in spection of Elmendorf Field. Ther they will return to Seattle via Seward, Yakutat. Juneau and An nette Island.
