g had the cheapest transportation in the world on the basis of railway revenue per ton mile.

A large measure of the opposi- tion criticism was directed against alleged "incompetence" of the Transport Board. and Mr. Chevrier met this head-on by declaring that he has confidence in the Board.

Difficult Problem

He acknowledged that n diffic- ult problem existed on the ques- tion of equalizing rates for various regions, and he added that the Government in 1948 had appointed the Royal Commission and in- ctructed the Transport Board to make an independent investigation with a view to achieving equaliz- ation.

The two motions of censure on the Board were placed before the House by the Progressive Conscr- vative and C. C. F. Parties.

George Draw, Progressive Con- servaiive leader, introduced one to slice the 1960-51 estimate for Board administration from s624.- 800 to 01. Then Clarie Gillis (C CF - Cape Breton South) brought one in to reduce the appropria- tion by just 01.

Before the Gillis amendment was introduced, M. J. Caldwell. C.C.F. leader, announced his Pariy would support Mr. Drew's motion. John Biackmore (CS - Lethbridgc) did the same for the Social Credit Party.

Later, Mr, Caldwell discovered ihe House rules permitted a sec- ond amendment. and Mr. Gillis brought it in on behalf of his Party. He said Mr. Drew's pro- posal would eliminate the Board while the 01 reduction would en- able members to protest the way freight rates were handled with- out going that far.

Mr. Gillis said the propaganda that wage rates were responsible for the deficits in industry was not new. He had been hearing that argument for line last 30 years. That was not the case, however. The C.N.R. siarled ev- ery year with a deficit of 045,- 000.000 in interest on dead capital. That capital should be written off allogcther.

Critical of Board

The Government should examine the qualifications of all members of the Board of Transport Com- missioners. If the Board had been competent there would have been no need for the Government to appoint a Royal Commission on Transportation. All the so-called freight-rate experts on the board were former employees of the C. N.B. or the C.P.R.

Mr. Gill-is said that unless the capital structure of the C. N. R. is changed, then freight rates will continue to rise. He urged that Parliament get behind Donald Gordon. new president of the C. N.R., and help him in his efforts to revise the railway”: capital structure.

Mr. Caldwell told reporters that, if the C.C.F. motion was defeated, his group would back the Pro- gressive Conservative amend- meni.

While no direct motion of non- confldence was involved. Trans- port Minister Chevrier told re- porters he would regard the vote as one involving confidence in the Government.

The Minister, in a preliminary statement opening the day-long debate, defended present rates and. in particular. the increases which the Board has granted since the war.

The Opposition speakers criti- cized ihe competence of the Board on two main points:

1. That its rate structure placed a disproportionate bur- den of freight charges on the Provinces away from the centre of the country. 1 p

2. That it had commiited a 313,000,000 blunder in a March 1 judgment in which it award- ed a 16-per-cent rate increase. Mr. Coldwell also called on the

Government to disallow the series of rate increases in the form in which they were awarded.

Government's Responsibility

Mr. Drew charged that the Board was not able to do its job properly - perhaps because of limitations placed on it -- and he said the Government must ac- cept responsibility.

He said his motion. moved dur- ing consideration of Transport De- partment estimates. was the only parliamentary device by which members could make known their stand on the issue.

He said the rate system. and the flat percentage increases granted in recent years. placed the Mari- iimes and ihc Western Provinces in In unfavorable position com- pared with the ceniral area.

He called for "drastic and sweeping” action to revamp the Board setup. giving it the best of expert advice and in greater measure of i -' pendence.

Mr. Drew launched his harshest criticism of the Board over its recent decision in which it ad- mitted an error in I previous

judgment.
