ISLAND FREIGHT

(Continued from Page n ransom monument:

Premier Marlviillan iv- "r “new” remarks expressed confidence in Mr. Matheson, as the mall in whom the Maritimes had to depend to, a treat extent in matters pertaining to railway trsnsoortaticn.

Premier MacMillsn referred to the first conference of the three Maritime premiers held at Am- beret while he was acting Premier of thisP-ovince. At that meeting, and at all subsequent meetings the utmost harmony and co-ooeraticn prevailed between the Maritime ‘zovernments in fighting for com- mon rlghts. The speaker said that he considered it a great mistake that the ‘Transportation Commis- sion had ceased functioning for several years and made reference to the amount of money taken out of the pockets oi Maritime prduc- ers and shippers in the years be- tween 1912 and '27 by unjust freight rates The three provinces will continue to lose unless they have expert assistance from a man com- Petent to handle the situation, and watching that adjustments made in freight rates in the Central Prov- inces do not nulifliy the advantages given us under the Maritime Freight Rates Act.‘

Concessions had been mgdp s11 over Canada which have to a large extent made void the advantages the Maritime Provinces received unde- the Freight Rates Act of 1927.

i191‘ MacMilian expregged great confidence in Mr. Matheson, who. he felt sure, he said, would receive co-operation from the ship- bors as he had from the three Maritime governments. ‘The speak- er went on to state that unless we have that harmony we will pay Benin as we did in the past in hard earned dollars. The letter and spirit of the Act of Confederation has been deptvted from verv fer in as far as the Yn- tercolonlal Railway is concerned. 1t was never intended to be 1 nay- ing nrooosltion. His recent visit to Ottawa has imnressed him. the Premier said, with the fact that this Province and the Maritimes "enersily will always have a hard "me to maintain their position is- olated as they are and of small sire. ‘Tiecrimination wherever possible has been the history of this and the other Moritime Provinces since Confederation. The case for the iifcrmrvfeq pea hem nresented het- t-"r before the White flomr1‘=slon than it bad eve" been before, Prem- ier MacMlllan mlieved. It was a matter of satirfisction, he said, to know that the three provincial governments of the Marltimes stood side by side in the fight for rights and common justice. a

"We sank all differences politic- alll. he said. "and put everything we had into the fight for rights for the Maritime Provinces."

Commend: Rcpresentatives

Mr. R. E. Mutclrsnd Mr. J. O. Hyndman, Island representatives oi the - tstionl“ ' were perhaps the best two men in the Province to have on the Commis- sion, the Premier said. Re expressed surprise that the merchants, ship- pers and formers are able to carry on as they have done in these years of depression, and expressed the (pinion that unless they received redress the future of the Maritime: is not verybrlght. l-Is was encour- aged, he said, by the serious and practical way 1n which the business men of Charlottetown and of the Maritime: are facing the problems

Mr. Mulch thought the loss to this Province to be even greater than the flgues quoted bv m. Matheson- would show.

Mr. Mnthcsonh Address‘

The Transportation Commission, of the Maritime Board of Trade, Mr. Mathsson explained, is main- tained principally for the protec- tion of the shippers of the Maritime . In this connection it corresponds to the 'I‘rs.t‘iic Depart- ments of the larger Chamber of l‘ organizations. Its remi- flcaticns. however, include not only the aiiiliated industries of one city but every industry and Board of Trade of the Maritime Provinces.

Origin Of Commission

The commission is an offspring of the Maritime Rights Committee which did such splendid work to- wards having the Maritime Freight Rates Act passed in 19M. Unfor- tunately this O bwlmo inactive in 1930 through lack of fin- ancihl support. During the four years that elapsed before the Com-

mission was reorganiaed in August ‘i714 trrmnndon changes took

P1111308: OI Visit

This purpose o! his visit, Mr. Ma- thescn explained, was to endeavor to acquaint the various Boards of Trade of the Meritimes and pa:- ticulerly the shippers oi the im- 13911281106 of this organization and the assistance that can be obtained in e. general way in matters rele- vant to transportation. 0n taking oflicc the Commission was chiefly engaged in reorganization, a task in itself. Nevertheless. the Commis- sion found time to assist in relic cases before the carriers and asso- ciations and to advise shippers of "houses that might affect them in ‘be competitive markets oi Canada with resultant benefits to some of ‘nose concerned.

At present the Commission is en- deavcrlng to ascertain the extent to which changes in robes in Cen- tral Canada have affected the status of the Maritime Freight Rates Act. One o! the most osten- sible’ changes has been brouqht to the attention of the Board of Rail- war Commissioners informally and their report is being awaited be- fore preceding further on the var- pus other rate changes.
