lluring the discussions delegates from the six nations did their best to assure the other delegates of GA'l'l‘ that there is no real cause for alarm. that the common market and (;A'l'l‘ will be able to work to- gether for the benefit of all con- cerned. This. however. did not quite satisfy the 31 representatives who decided to set up a committee to examine the proposals from all angles.

As far as GA'I'I‘ is concerned. there seems to be little it can do to keep the common market arrange- ment from coming into operation, since it is a formula full of loopholes to provide for bilateral or multi- lateral agreements. And it is a little difficult to see how a common mar- ket can be effective in its purposes without at the same time causing some inconvenience to outsiders.

Railway Freight Rates - This Province is, of course, among the eight Provinces which are pro- testing the application before the Transport Commissioners for an ad- ditional 1O per cent boost in railway freight rates. They are asking the Board to throw this aplication out and also to rescind a 4 per cent in- crease authorized last year. This latter increase. which amounts to around $18,000,000, was granted on a temporary basis pending the re- view now under way. As usual, the Central Provinces are not objecting because they are safeguarded by competitive short-haiil rates and it is the ratepayers East and West who must pay the shot.

The protesting Provinces have a strong case. buttressed by what they believe to be valuable evidence from the railways themselves. The situa- tion is reviewed by Grant Dexter in the Winnipeg Free Press, from which the following information is taken:

Ever since the end of the last war, the railways have been invest- lng heavily in capital improvements -—diesel engines, larger and better box cars. improved track and so on. The purpose of this investment was to achieve lower operating costs. to

vice-president in diargta of opera- tions, on the witness stand. The pur- pose was plain; there was no thought of obliging the Provinces. The CPR. proposes in the coming years to in- vest a further $1.5 billions in capital improvements. This year, to illust- rate. it is buying 138 diesels and next _vear will buy an additional 122. The C.P.R. believes that it would be helpful in getting the 10 per cent increase in freight rates if the great gains to be achieved by these capital expenditures were demonstrated. The (T.P.R.. of course, would be able to raise this new capital much more easily and cheaply if it could show very high revenues. And rev- enues are the result of freight rates. 'l‘he C.P.R. therefore, believes that it stands to gain by giving this evi- dence. But so do the Provinces. 'l‘heir argument is that these gains from greater efficiency should be reflected in lower freight rates. They argue that the railways ought not to be allowed to hoist freight rates to very high levels, whilst pocketing the s a v i n g s from improvements. They believe that capital improve- ments more than pay for themselves and. in their opinion. Mr. Emerson has now confirmed this. lie has testified that between 19-17 and 1936 the (‘.P.R. saved $86 millions in op- erating costs because of diesel atid

- other capital improvements. The 19.37

and 1938 capital expenditures will add greatly to these savings.

Apart from Mr. Emerson, the Provinces called expert witnesses to deal with “tax equalizanon." This is a highly technical point which is not easily grasped. But there is nothing difficult or technical about the $9.3 millions per year which is involved. In simple terms. the C.P.R. is charging $9.5 millions per year more to expenses for corporation tax payments than the company is act- ually paying to the Government. The freight payeis pay these expenses. The Provinces believe that the rail- way is entitled to charge only what it actually pays. If the Provinces are right, then $9.5 millions per year in freight rates will be wiped out. If the CPR. is right. the public will have to pay an additional $95 mil- lions per year in rates. Q

EDITORIAL NOTES

It used to be thought that rest was a good remedy for fatigue. This isn't so, according to an article in a medical journal. The proper remedy is activity—in the proper order. of course; mental activity for physical fatigue, physical exercise for the mental kind.

mats they use And this is just what Trans- port Minister (‘-eorize Hees is low selling up. l The story with this-—vie hopc— Iiappy ending began on some un- . charted lake 350 years ago. when an inexperienced fur-trader gree- dily overloaded his frail canoe and drowned unobserved an unnei-es~aaril_v. Since then the toil of our inland waterways has risen steadily year by year. asi city-stickers show I h e i r wealth and their ignorance by; putting too much load. too much power and too much speed onto boats carefully designed nd safely built for the use of nru-1

THE NIAKI-IRS WORRY

These tests yieldech facts front which curves were computed by naval architects of the Depart-l ment. showing the safe load and ‘ safe power or all pleasure boats. SAFETY PLATES I-‘OR Y0l7 -

All boats of next year‘: Spring models built by members of the Canadian Boatiiu Federation will carry small rustproof red- enamellcd plates. size four inches by two inches. These plates will state the maximum safe lo ad , and maximum safe horse-pow-l er for each boat. .

if you own a pleasure boat not more than five years old, you i will be able to obtain a similarl plate from the builder of your- boat. which you can then affix to it. Other boat-builders will no doubt also follow this safe'y, measure. i

This safety measure does not: can the force of law. It is a step taken voluntarily. at the in- stigatlon ol the Canadian Boat- ing Federation and with the lull cooperation and blessing of the Federal Department of ans-I port. But it is felt that few users of pleasure boats will be foolhar dy enough to risk their lives and their passengers‘ lives by dlsre.-v zarding the red "safetv ; plates".

As a pprallel step. the Steam-l

, ship inspection branch of the de-

partment has also issued new regulations govermng on small ment to be carried on small boats. These regulations will be enforced as from the beginning‘, of next year's’ boating season,l with the full force of the Moun- ‘ lies behind them .Compulsory carriage of these items of safety equipment will cut down the rate of drowning among those who capsi7e their boats; is probable that the rate of cap- . sizing will be substantially slash- ed through the guidance given to the foolhardy or ignorant by the red safety plates.

FB- Can you tell me what causes a person to be a midget? is it true that premature babies are midgets?

Answer: The exact cause of all types of midgets is not known. ‘ One type is kmwn to suffer from i chondodystrophy. a condition af- fecting the cartilages in the body. Another type evidently is hereditary. Such persons were not necessarily premature bab- les.
