Maritime Request Conceded

It is reassuring to note that the railway com- mittee of the House of Commons unanimously approved of exempting from the King Govern- ment's Transport Act all ivater traffic between Maritime ports and ports on the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes. This action is in accord with the strong representation made last week before the committee by the Transportation Commis- sion of the Maritime Board of Trade, backed by the governments of the three Maritime Prov- inces.

Tlllll the justice of the Maritime case was realized in other parts of Canada is indicated by the following timely comment from the Winni- peg Free Press (Liberal), which appeared while the ‘parliamentary committee was giving consid- eration to the matter:

“The Maritimes have always felt that geo- graphical separation and heavy transportation charges on traffic between the Atlantic Prov- liicrs and the Central Provinces were a serious handicap to them. In order to keep the railway rates down. the Dominion grants I. substantial subsidy every year. But Maritime interests also value the ability to ship by water up the St. Lawrence. and they do not wish to lose any of that advantage. They are strongly opposing the regulation of those water rates. The potato trade they cite as one that would be seriously affected. Is there not a clear contradiction in the subsidizing of rail rates for the benefit of the Maritimes and then handicapping them by preventing free competition in ivaterborne rates?

“The advantage of waterborne traffic be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts should not be restricted for the sake of the railways. Ship- pers have a. right to the best freight rates they can get in this way. And they must meet the competition of other waterborne traffic. For in- stance, shipments from Montreal or Halifax to Vancouver compete with shipments from other parts of the world. carried cheaply by water.

“The Transport Bill would provide for regula- tion of rates on the basis of certain considera- tions which were supposed to be reasonable. But it would also allow the disregarding of all such considerations in the proposed “agreed charges" between carriers and shippers. There is contra- diction here. Carriers could grant specially favourable rates in order to get all. or a large part. of a shippefs business. The ojyoosition to this proposal is due to the fear of discrimina- tion as between shippers and of the advantage given to big business as against the small ship- per. But if the Government thinks it a good thing to encourage lower rates through special agreements between carrier and shipper, and if it is desirable in this way to encourage competi- tion between carriers, why the general plan for the bolstering up of rates, and why not let the different classes of carriers compete in their own ivay?

“There is mily too much ground for the gen- eral apprenhension that the regulation con- templated in the Transport Bill, while beneficial to certain special interests, would be quite in- jurious to the public interest." , 1-

The P.E.I. Tunnel _ In the brief presented to the Rowell Corrimls-

Commission recommended that consideration be given to the feasibility of tunnel transportation to Prince Edward Island. The St. john, N. B., Citizen offers the following comment:

“A tunnel to connect Prince Edward Island with the mainland has been the dream of Island people ever since Confederation came into being. Frequent agitations for its construction failed. but the need of the tunncl has been recognized by leading men of the Dominion. At present a fcrry service is maintained between Prince Ed- ivard Island and lhe mainland, hut this service is said to be inadequate for the growing business of the Island. As one of the units of the Con- federation of llritish North America its people believe that they should be in closer and more pcrtnaucnt touch with the other Province! and they consider the tunnel is a necessity.”

"Singapore Of The Atlantic”

Under the above heading the St. ]ohn’s (Newfoundland) Evening Telegram suggests that in the event of an enemy attack on Canada, one of this country's most important outer de- fence lines would be in Newfoundland. It is fllCNlOfC not sufficient, in the general scheme of Empire defense, to modernize the fortifica- tions at Halifax. It is obvious. says our con- temporary, that from a base established in New- foundland the trade routes both from the -Do- minion and from the United States could be most effectively guarded. As yet, however, noth- ing has been done to utilize the strategical ad- vantages that Newfoundland offers. On this Atlantic outpost, which stands in the entrance of the St.‘ Lawrence waterway, there is not a single fortified harbour. There is not even a storage depot for such supplies as a fleet of naval ships would require. The establishment of an effective defense system in Newfoundland, it is suggested, would be of further importance in view of the fact

.no way of knowing whether a pupll had suf-

emotionsl surroundings. Such factors were non- existent in e amp as they had already been eon-

scarcely less importance than Singapore to Aus-a- tralia, ~ i

Allowing for local enthusiasm on the pert our Newfoundland contemporary, there is much in what it says. Newfoundland defenses is- a matter in which this Dominion is vitally con- cerned. -

This Ought To Be Final

For some reason that remains obscure to the people of this section of Canada, the Rowell Commssion has been solicitous to ascertain if there is any Maritime opinion favorable to a political unipn of the Maritime Provinces, They received from the Premiers of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island the answer that such a union was altogether undesirable. The same question was put last week to the New Bruns- wick government, and Attorney General McNair has replied that though the question was “in- teresting enough from the academic point of view there was no desire among the people of New Brunswick for such a move," that the Gov- ernment saw in it no solution to the problems confronting the Maritimes and that it had “neither the merits of increased economy nor efficiency" in the Government’s opinion.

At least this is one concrete thing which the Rowell Commission has established—that the Maritime Provinces. individually and collec- tivelv are emphatically opposed to any scheme of blaritime Union. It did not require a Royal Commission to ascertain this fact, which is known to every person in touch with Maritime sentiment. but perhaps the publicity given to it through the Commission will convince those busybodies in the Central Provinces who have been agitating for Maritime Union that the issue is dead beyond resurrection.

A Nasty Crack

“I say it is a shame. You can go to the West- ern Provinces and find them getting up to $8.50 per capita on direct relief. and Prince Edward Island, that is isolated, getting only ninety cents. I say we are not getting our just amount of re- lief, our amount of subsidy, or anything; and I say it is time that the people of this Province woke up and demanded that they get from the Dominion their just share."—I-Ion. _I. P. Mc- Intyre, 1\Iinister of Public Works, in the Legis- lative Assembly, March 30.
