Royal Commission

a variety of proposals have been urged upon the government by shipping. labor. shipbuilding and other organizations. These l|’IC1\ldt"- l. Restriction of the coastal trade to Canadian-built Canadian- re3~ istiei-ed vessels as the United state: does with its coastal shipping. This would involve abrogatinlz the C001‘ monwealih agreement which ‘R395 ,, year's notice.

2. Redefinition of coastal waters to exclude the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes. leaving just the seaboards for non-Canadian ships

3. Forcing non-Canadian ships to meet Canadian wage and other standards. which would be a de- terrent to vessels of every country except the United S-St-at-ea.

4. Banning all foreign vessels except those of the U. S from trad- ing into Canadian Great Lakes ports in any way.

BRITISH RESISTANCE

A factor complicating prospects for tightening the coastal trade is reported to be stiff resistance on the part of the British govemmenl to any move against British ship- ping. Informal Canadian overtures made more than I year ago. met a chill reception in London.

However. the government is understood to feel that in royal com- mission report. should it favor some type of restriction. would strength- en its hand in that. respect.

Personnel of the commission. it was expected. will consist of one mui from the Marltlmes. on from the west cosst Ind one from cen- tral Canada. with the Maritime: representative Is chIlrmIn.
