Canadian Independence
 Takes Definite Step as
 New Law Effective Jan. 1

OTTAWA, Dec. 27-The Canad- ian Citizenship Act, the first piece of legislation aimed at clearly de- lining the status of Canadians as citizens of this Dominion, becomes effective January l, l947, with the official hope that it will eventually lead to greater feeling of na- tional pride.
 The Act. passed at the last ses- sion of the parliament, deals broad ly with the subject of nationaliza- ton and the status of aliens and defines "natural-born Canadian citizens" and citizens other than natural-torn" and also sets forth the grounds upon which citizen ship may be forfeited
 In effect, the Act also is a con- solidation of other measures dealing with immigration and naturaliza- tion of aliens.
 In one sense, the legislation has been regarded as a companion piece to legislative action still under way to select a distinctive Canadian flag and may be the forerunner of steps to determine a distinctive Canadian anthem.
 One of it's effects upon proclama- ton will be that all British sub iects resident in Canada at Janu- ary l automatically will become citizens of Canada.
 After that date, British subjects and aliens coming to Canada must wait five years before they can be- come citizens and receive citizen ship certificates. However, unlike, aliens. British subjects will not have to make court appearance.
 The Act marks a final step in the development of Canada's na- tionhood and effective indepen- dence
 Although completely self govern ing for many years. Canadians hitherto were identified in the eyes of the world by their status of British subjects"

 BIG AGENCY

 Changes for REC

W N11k0A41ANN1 N<ANs ONNs N&SOA b E. Allen resigned today as direct or of the ReconverSion Finance Corporation after recommending a sweeping revision of the Act under which REC operates.
 President Truman immediately appointed John D. Goodloe, now REC General Counsel, to replace Allen when the resignation be- comes effective Jan 16
 Announcing these actions, Presi- dential Press Secretary Charles C.. Ross told reporters:
 When the President appointed MT. Allen last January, Mir Allen said he would be willing to serve only a year. He was appointed with that understanding"
 Recommendations
 Ross added that Allen is going to the White House to see MT Tru- man with Goodloe and taking a report off the REC recommending important changes in the Act creating the REC"
 Ross described the recommenda- tions as calling for drastic changes which would completely rewrite the REC Act to eliminate all war time emergency powers and con- scliate all lending under one law.
 Under these proposals, Ross said. even some peacetime powers no longer eonsioered necessary would be dropped
 The present chairman of the REC is Charles B. Henderson The President appoints the directors and the directors choose their own chairman.
 Was Newspaperman
 Goodloe, 38-year-old native of Richmond, Ky, was appointed as executive assistant to the chair man of the REC in 1941. He be- came general counsel two years lat CT.
 He previously had served with several government agencies after brief career as a newspaperman in Kentucky
 Ross said Aliens letter of resig nation reached the White House today and that President Truman replied immediately, accepting it. However, Ross said, the resignation had been discussed previously with Allen.
 Allen, known as the court jest CT" of the administration, literally kidded himself into the chuckling approval of Senators when his nomination was sent to Capitol Hill by MT. Truman last January.
 Before the White House amour cement of the resignation, Allen had met reports of his retirement with a wisecrack
 Called out of bed during the night as the reports spread, he drawled:
 T have no comment to make and you can tell your readers that I got out of led to make it."

Moieriol COSTS and Price Relief
Wages and materials are the great costs Of
operating our business-together they con-
sumo all but few cents of every dollar tho
Company takes in. Wages are obviously
going to be highland nobody knows Just
how high material costs will go.
In the face of rising costs of materials the
Company does not see how it can pay the
wage increases recommended by a Govern
ment fact finding board until it has definite
and satisfactory assurance from the Govern
ment that reasonable price relief will be
granted to the Company within reasonable
period of time. This matter is of such i'm
portance that it will not be discussed here
but viii be covered by future advertisements
devoted to both prices and profits.
Speaking for our dealers and ourselves, we
can assure you that no customer is moro
