MONCTON. N_ 3-, Dec. 2—The lffects of Canadian freight rate |tructure on the Maritime Provinces. the necessity for continuation of the Maritime Transportation Corrmlis- lions work. tile need for a survey of mnomic conditions in Canada as | whole. the nlistakes and the ad- mtages accruing to agricultural cooperative efforts. and the Mari- lllns view on the St. Lawrence Wat- erway; proposal, were given thorough review at today's opening session of

Trade. "'l‘he fact that, the contract of the union was suppressed does not. msks it any the lass binding." said Mr. Patterson's 0890:‘. "The inter- continental is s. constitutional railway, constructed for certain well defined purposes to be operated in‘ a manner defined in the contract of union. “If the so called economy and polit- ical policy is permitted to override the mandatory confederation trails- portation and trade rights of thou: provinces. 1 cannot see any ChH-IlCC of substantial economic d». lopment of the Maritimes.

The nulliflcntlfm of geographical ad- Wltm possessed by the Atlantic lirovinccs. he said, has resulted from this structure, which had been many Nara in the making. Central Canada interests hacl first destroyed the ex- Whf: structure at. Confederation llld proceeded to build up, piece by More. the anti-Maritime freight rates. which the Duncan Commission l" Part disclosed. and from which Dirt-ls] relief had been secured un- ﬁt!‘ the Maritime Freight Rates Act. The Board of Railway Commission- ers had not the power to establish a "Wilt. rate, which would bring the

uurltuheb fairly into the Confeder-v

otion economic picture, said Mr. Pat- terson. Cost Of‘ haul and distance

cannula is a drag of such magnitude that it is impossible b0 carry it And compete successfully." was Mr. Pat.- torsons opinion. Not only was it high freight which increased pro- duction costs in the Maritirnes, said Mr. Patterson, but there was also an artificial increase in commodity cost to the Maritimes from Western and Central Canada, as a. result of protective tariff in conjunction with knight Mics.

MONCTUN. N. 3.. D80. 2-—"That conditions are fie: more depressed wifth us then they are now, is I be- lieve. due w the fact that we are now working harder and working better than we ever did." This was the note struck thLs morning by C. H. ltéad of Amherst, mosldem, of the Maritime seam of nude, open- ing the thirty-second annual meet- ing of the more. Problems of trans- portation in the Maritimea were the prime subject at the opening session.

A warning to the provincial gov- ernments that the work of the trans- portation commission. now in a state of suspended animation through withdrawal of government grants. nlust be continued, conic from l‘). R.- Turnbull, Halifax, chairman of the commission.

The report of Honorary Secretary F’. MacLure Bclanders set. forth the results achieved during the year in following policies laid down at the last annual meeting. “Speaking quite frankly, it seems to me that all this outside talk of Maritime prosperity is quits generously exaggerated-we loam that eLOhUHIlO recession has affected the Maritimes les than other sections of Canada. If this is so. and I hope it may be. the cir- eumstzmces certainly add weight to cur long standing contention that economically, the Msritimn have not participated in the general pro- gress and prosperity which has char- ncterlzcd every other section of the Dominion." said Mr. mead in his Presidential address. “We in the Maritlmes never climbed as high as ‘they did and we have not lo far to fall."

SovietDumping Now Alarming Fur Traders

MILLIONS 0F FINISHED PELTS, CBIEFLY SQUIIRIL. EXPORT- ED FAR. BELOW COST PRICE.

LONDON, Dec. 2.--Britlsh Put Trade Alliance has summoned a mass meeting of London fur trades for December 3rd to consider how. to avert disaster threatened by Mos-' cow's dumping millions of dyed and‘ dressed skins on the London market at. prices below the cost. of the raw material.

London fur trade, which has ex- perienced hard times lately, attribu- tes the Sovieth action to an en- deavor to cripple British trade and make Moscow henceforth the world's fur centre. Strong representations will probably be made to the Gov- ernment for protection.

‘The fur sales manager of the Hud- son's nay Cc., told The {fess that the danger is exaggerated, the trade seizing upon Mcscc ‘s action as a pretext tosecure protection. Can- ada's trade. however. is not specially menaced. as the Russian skins are chiefly squirrels. Nevertheless. as these are being exported below cost, he regards Russia's action as sili- lster.
