Prince Edward

(0- P- B! Blind-Ian's Spools! wire) OVITAWA, May 22—I1nmediate efforts should be made by the Do- ininion Government to increase tourist traffic to Canada. during the present year. A report tabled in the Senate today by a. committee which for the past month had been study- ing the tourist question emphasised the need of speedy action and out- lined plans for a pcrmsnent pro- EIBWVB Pfvtram over a term of years. It expressed confidence that the tourist trade could be greatly increased with the Dominion, the provinces and the transportation companies working together.

The government should vote 8150.000 fOr the purpose this ses- sion, the report recommended. A Canadian travel bureau should be established as a branch of the ap- propriats department of the gov- ernment in Ottawa.

The committee was under the chairmanship of Senator W. H. Dennis of Halifax. It made an in- tensive investigation of the tourist situation irl all the provinces.

Ferry Rates and Tourist Traffic

The committee made special re- ference to the position of Prince Edward Island in the development of the tourist trade and in this connection states, “it is the essence of the Canadian partnership that ferry rates to and from that prov- ince should be such as to relieve it. in so far as possible, or the dis- advantages of its island position and anything short of this makes for insularity." It recommends that "the greatest possible facility should be afforded the movement of mo- tor cars by ferry and otherwise since the motor car plays such an enormous part in tourist travel to- any}.

The committee had evidence to show that as many as 81,573 people have visited the Parliament build- ings at Ottawa in one year and re- commends that during the tourist

such a large audience of tourists should not be lost.

It is further recommended that in this room in the Parliament

Special excursion and tourist rates on railways and steamship, as well a; detai1e¢1 tours, also are endorsed in the report s4 well as the campaigns now being conduct- ed. by the hotels and transportation companies to promote and develop the tourist industry.

Greatly enlarged t irist trade constwisc and through Canada's in- land waterways, should be promot- ed in conjunction with rail and other forms 0f transportation.

It endorses s. movement to in- crease Canada's tourist trade from overseas. The mmitteg likewise urges encouragement of er and autumn tourist trade from Ber- muda and the Wlest Indes.

lmportancc of Good Roads

On the subject o1 good roads, the committee declares that the im- portance of good roads is a dom- inatlng factor in tourist trade and urges the removal of such handi- caps as‘ the dust nuisance and the menace" of dangerous railway level crossings.

litter-provincial trade is strongly rccommended in the report of the committee and the importance of aviation to the industry also ls stressed, as is a close cooperation between the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission and the agencies engaged in tourist trade development.

The committee likewlsq stresses the importance of a campaign to conserve the fish and game re- sources of the Dominion; the scen- ic uttractions and the forest growth and recommends mo that this trade should be enoou ,, “ “with a fair and reasonable enforcement of regulations and the welfare and dignity of the country generally.

It makes a plea that every citizen of Canada should be "a. self-ap- pointed guardian of Canada's good reputation and should strive t0 make Canada even more inviting in appearance and hospitality.”

A message has been dcspatchql throughout the British Domin- ions by the president of the Empire Day Movement, Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jclllccc. It reads as follows:

“The road to our old prosperity may still he lengthy but the spirit which has enabled our people throughout the Empire to over- come the formidable difficulties which confronted us two years ago will unquestionably enable 11s to mcct any troubles yet before us. Unity, cnmrudcshfip, and sympathy between the peoples who compose, our great Empire are. and ever will be, essential to its strength and prosperity. The well-being and happiness of 493 million people depend upon Empire prosperity, and undoubtedly the peace of tho world ls largely affected by the influence which the Empire can exert upon international problems. For this influence our combined strength is necessary. The Empire Day Movement exists to impress upon tho people of the Empire their responsibility in these matters. May this Empire Day be celebrated with one thought in each mind: that our Empire, with God's blessing. shall grow stronger and stronger in the cause of world peace and prosperity."

Agriculture Committee today.

The grades are fixed by statute, why should ex-Atlantio port ship- ments have a premium over ex- Vsncouver shipments, asked Hon. Robert Weir, Minister- of Agricul- ture.

The Englbh millers prefer wheat with a smaller amount of the gar- net variety, Mr. Jackson said. Mr. Jackson said the English co-oper- atives favored a separate grade for garnet wheat but could give no el- aboration og this attitude. The committee voted 10 to i3 to ask the English societies to submit a brief giving their reasons for favoring s separate grade for garnet. '

Crop Forecast of U. S. Dept. of Agriculture Proved False, Grow- ers Say.

(OP. By Guardian's Special Win)

mnnmwron. N. 1a.. May 2‘! __while P0111110 prices are at their most depressed level in a. year as r91;- u export; go, movement of the balance of last years crop in New Brunswick to the Montreal and Toronto markets is continuing. York and Sudbury Counties are taking a. large share in the ship- ping at th epresent time, with cars being loaded and shipped almost daily in the Keswick and Rusagonis regions. A Rusagonis grower a, day or so ago loaded and shipped two full cars and part of a third. Bim- ilar activity is taking place in some other centres, and it is evi- dent thst the shipping will con- tinue untll around the first of June.

The present price to the produc- er here is 880 to 85 cents a barrel for table stock, which is only little better than half or the peak price oi $1.50 per barrel received during the last winter. Due to the de- pressed markct sin the United States, as well a sothcr factors, it _ls doubtful if prices in the prov- ince will show much increase by shipping season. From now on. the growers will have to contend with shrinkage. which in thelwarm weather, with the tub- ers sprouting. will amount to about 20 percent. The extra handling which the removal of sprouts ne- cessltates will reduce the profit.

That there is still a considerable quantity of last year's potatoes on hand in the province is the opin- ion of leaders in the trade. How much of a balance remains still is uncertain. In the local markets. potatoes for table use are begin- ning up to $1.25 a barrel, which is a fair return compared with tho shipping price. Now heme-grown tubers will not be on the market until around the middle of July. The importation of early potatoes from. Bermuda. and the southern states has been underway for about a month.

In the Aroostook County potato belt of Maine. the growers are pes- simistlc. Prices there have slump- ed down to $1.00 a. barrel. Shipping is 118111’- dlle to the Boston and oth- er markets being overstocked. The early estimate of a. 40,000,000 bush- el decrease in the United States crop, compared with the 1932, evi- dently did not prove a true pic- ture of the situation across the bor- der, as to date there have been 26,000 cars more shipped through- out the country than in the pre- ceding year. The growers, in short, have lost faith in the official es- timates of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The situation in the States has affected the mar- kets here. as large quantities of potatoes which would have been shipped over the line. had there really been a shortage. have been released on the Canadian markets.
