(Special) - - "The year 1851 may well become a turning point for the Atlantic Area in the field of transportation" This was the forecast made by A. Murray M.scKay of Iiallfax in his year end statement as Chair- man of the Maritime: Transpor- tation Commission.

Pointing to the determination of the Governments of the four At- lantic Provinces to work together to find a solution of the region's transport problem. the M.T.C. Chairman said: "Our Commission has been given the momentous task of ham in; out proposals for the revision of the Maritime Freight Rates Act which has, for the past thirty years. been our basic transportation charter." That Act. the M.T.C. Chairman said. is no longer doing the job it was designed to do-

"We are confident that the re- search presently being done by the Maritimes Transportation Com mission will yield positive re- sults quite early in the new year. The groundwork will then have been done and our four Provinces will be able to present to Ottawa what we homwlll be re " ” pro- posals for transportation improve- ments hcre.'”

Mr. MacKay stated that, while the year 1956 had brought further increases in rail freight rates which had borne heavily on the economy of the Atlantic Region there had also been bright spots) in the general picture. He cited as! an illustration reductions in the rates on potatoes from New Bruns- i wick and Nova Scotia to Cents-all Canada which had been brought about by the.actlon of the Trans-i portation Commission. i

"What this means simply is that. our potato producers will be able." in spite of rate increases made by the railways In 1956, to go on ship-l

of products between the Maritime: - and New England."

"The Maritime: Transportation commission, Maclfny said. "Is gratified that It has been able to assist the public of the Atlantic

Among these are improve menu In steamship services between Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. the simplifica- tion of shipping documents for Newfoundland coastal freight ser- vices and the working out of a transportation plan which spells vast saviifgs for receivers of freight in n numbe of Atlantic Re- gion centres."

The Commission Chairman stat- ed that a "flexible approach to the transportation problems of the Atlantic Provinces was nbsolute- l ly necessary." He added that he had found among.' Maritime Government. Business and Indus- try a ready acceptance of such an approach whenever the Maritimes Transportation Commission had advanced an Idea which departed from the "traditional way of do- ing things!”

At the conclusion of his year end stawment Mr- MacKay paid tribute to the many organizations and individuals who had worked so closely with the Commission. He mentioned in particular the extremely good co-operation his organization had received from the various transportation agencies both within and outside the Atlantic Provinces.

CHRISTCHURCII. N.Z. (CP- The basis for a bitter Interna- tional dispute between the United States and New Zealand exists in the Antarctic.

Yet instead of conflict the two countries are cooperating so clos- ely that neither could SN along there without the other.

The paradox has been pointed

up by the departure of New Zea- land's first full-scale expeditln to the Antarctic. farewelled by the Duke of Edinburgh during his visit after the Olympic Games. New Zealand claims sovereignty over a large sector of the Antarc- tic-a edge-shaped slice extend- ing from McMurdo Sound all the way to the South Pole. Until now, however, New Zealand has never established a base in the territory, known as the Ross dependency.

New Zealand And U. S. Work Together In The Antarctic

The United States has declined to recognize any territorial claims in the Antarctic. And the Ameri- cans hnve set up two major bases and several smaller ones in the area claimed by New Zenland.

The situation provides ample scope for the striking of attitudes. affronted dignity, strained feel- ings, and the whole range of dip- lomatic lncivllitles.

Instead the two countries are co- operating so closely that their pro- jects are inextricably mixed. A huge American air and sea lift to the Antarctic has been In progress for several months. Its success has depended on the use of New Zea-
