:.2--j-gr-j--1 statutory Preference was not in- tended for that purpose."

With 193114 to the position taken generally by the dissenting Provinces, the report notes that Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick both "apPBI'9nNb' feel that regulation by the Board (of Transport Commissioners) is not the answer to their disadvantages, but rather that the answer lies in further reductions under. and ex- tension of. the Maritime Freight Rates Act." -- - '

It notes that the seven Provinces (including P.E.I.) which opposed the 30 percent and 20 percent in- crease appiicatlons before the Board from 1916 to 1950 and at- tacked the horizontal iincrease method, continued their attack be- fore the Commission, with empha- sis belng placed upon the greater hardship worked upon shippers in the Provinces subject to long haul on their traffic.

Railway Responsibility

The report concurs in the view

that horimntal increases aggrav- ate the disadvantage already suf- fered by long haul shippers and conslgnees. It adds however; "The remedy does not lie in the prohibition, statutory or other, of horizontal increases. but is in the hands of the I .. , themselves. The railways should make studies of traffic conditions in all their hearings and should present to the Board proposals showing not only their maximum percentage increase requirement, but also. among other particulars, varying percentage increases on different commodities, fist, instead of per- centage increases when these are more suitable, and maxima in appropriate cases in cents per 100 pounds or other unit. "Special attention should be given to long haul traffic and to rates on basic (or primary) com- modities. '1'he Railways should be in a position to do this especially in the light of new statistical pro- cedure. But if the railways do not approach the task in this way. it ought to be the duty of the Board (Page 61). No legislative amendment deal- ing with horizontal increases is recommended. The report notes that the Railway Act in its present form gives to the Board ample power topdeal with matters of this kind. "In all future cases." it adds. "it is to be hoped that the Board and the Railways will pay due re- gard to the consider ” referred to in this section."

Nationalization

Note is taken of the "extensive brief and argument” submitted by the Prince Edward Island Govern- ment in favour of nationalization of both railway systems. This brief,

the report says, was "of much as- sistance in studying the question of state monopoly of transporta- tion". However. the continuation of Canada's present system would appear to be assumed in the order- in-councll creating the Commis- sion. as there was no reference to this matter in the enumeration of subjects requiring particular at- tention. The report adds:

"A proper study of such a sub- ject would have required an ex- penditure of time-and an employ- ment of skill that it has not been considered asonable to embark upon. There is. therefore, no rent- on whatever to recommend either unification, amalgamation or pub- lic ownership of all railways in

- Canada."

With regard to feed grain as- the report notes the Prince Edward Island statement that disastrous consequences to the

-livestock. dairy and poultry pro-

duction on the Island would fol-

low the withdrawal of this policy. The Commission, however. conclud- ed that this question was outside their terms of ference, and was not one upon which it was able to make any recommendation.

Airport!

Note is taken in the report of the request that the airport at Charlottetown be improved to per- mit the use of larger aircraft for the transportation of certain agri- cultural products and fresh fish (especially lobsters) to points in the United states and the Pro- vinces of Quebec and Ontario; also that landing strips be constructed in King's County.

In this regard the F finds that "the provision of ad- equate faculties at both domestic and international airports is a matter for the attention of the Department of Transport and the Department of National Revenue. and representations should be di- rected to these departments."

Monopoly Position

In a memora dum attached to the report by Dr. H. A. Innis. one of the Commissioners, it is noted: "From the evidence submitted by Prince Edward Island is was ap- parent that the monopoly position of the Canadian National Rail- ways had been used to restrict motor vehicle operations. The Pro- vince is particularly exposed to the dangers of a monopoly of a rela- tively obsolescent type of trans- portation in restricting an ex- tremely important source of rev- enue in the motor car and the tourist truck. Complaints were made of the monopoly of the rail- way over the ferry between Bor- den and Cape Tormentine on the mainland in restrictions on trucks and that shippers in Prince Ed- ward Island were at a disadvant- age with shippers in New Bruns- wick. The Province argued that the Canadian National had be- come an instrument through which the intent of the terms of Confed- eration were being flouted."
