Western Canada averaged 55%. while m the Maritlmes tlin increase was 92%. The 20% reduction was recommended. with u new of piec- ing the Muritimcs on e purity with i IPPQI-H. however, that we largely overlooked the fact that the “IntareoloninV was a treaty railway, built for the express Purpose of giving us the mans of reeching the mass popu- lation of Central Canada as el- ready stated. The "Intcrcolonisl" was not e commercial railway, and was never intended to be n paying It would offset the construction of the Canals, which were built at the expense of all and operated without eny toll whatever to Canadian or foreign vessels. Sir Henry Thornton, in his evidence Duncan Commission, stated that the Management of the C. N. R. did not take into con- Con- federation rights when building their rate structure, or in operating the road. In the Maritime Freight Races Act of 1927, it is provided that in event of concessions being granted to other parts of Canada, the Maritime: were to benefit to the extent that the 20"’. reduction

given the Maritime Transportation Com- mission was withdrawn by the the Maritimcs about three years ago, and since then no one has been t0 see that our trans- portation rights were protected, with the result that; benefits ul- reiwly achieved (a saving to the producers and shippers of the Maritimes to the value of Thirteen Million Dollars) after years of per- sistent effort, are slipping away, as a result of concessions that are ‘being granted shippers from time to time in other parts of Canada. Some years ago Maritime federal politicians agreed to a reduction in freight rates on goods from Central Canada to the Maritimes, evident- ly with. the intention of benefitiing the consumer, but overlooked the fact that they were ugreeing to a policy that spelt rulnetion to many If some very definite stand is not taken at an early date, the same fate is in store for Maritime Agriculture. To- day, not only grain, but live stock, and other farm products, froni British Col- and Qntario, are coming right through to the Maritinies, and in competi- tion with similar products raise

As an instance of discrimination in rates, recently it was found that oats could be shipped through from Port Arthur to Sydney lit-tile ssmo rate as from Tignish to Sydney, and while there has been an od- case, since it was discovered, at the ur- gent request of the Boards of Trade, it goes to show that eternal only safe-guard. The freight on o. car of oats, today, from un Island point to Sydney is equal to 50% of the value of the shipment. Grain, the major product of Western Canada, gets a. low rate of freight, and our major pro- ducts in the Maritimes should have special rates by rail, and entitled to equal consideration. The freight rates as now prevail with the pres- ent low value of commodities re- tard the disposal of our products in the home markets, and with the gradual loss of the 20% reduction, the producers of the Maritimes are drifting into s. position of isolatoin even their local trade being swallowed up by those more favored residing

There is absolutely no doubt but that Canada's greatest problem to- day ls the terrific financial burden

cums has been carried on in that pert of Canada extending from Quebec to British Columbia. The Maritime: have not bflrticipelcd in mess Qxpenditures for the duplica- tion of railroads, which in some- thing unknown in the Marltimeb, and wo, in Prince Edward Island. cannot obtain even one first-class mmugh pas xr service between Bcckville and Prince Edward Is- land, and in the fall and winter season, are even deprived of the present inferior second passenger service connecting with the Ocean Limited, notwithstanding that this connection is provided for in the Terms of Confederation. While we have contributed to this extrava- gmco or luxury iri the rest of Can- ada, without reaping eny of the benefits such as follow large ex- penditures of capital, we have, on the other hand, suffered, because in the concentration of wealth and the great development in transpor- tation, it attracted industry and commerce to those centres, and acted as o. magnet in drawing away the young blood of the Maritimes. and this was intensified by the cf- foxts and great expenditures on be- half of the Government and the Canadian National Railways in promoting immigration and land settlement in all parts of Canada, for many years, excluding the Maritimes. Thus what was intend- ed as a. partnership to be developed on e basis equitable to all, has turned out to be a discrimination in favor of Central Canada, large- ly at the expense of the Maritimes, with the further‘ result that we have lost, not only population‘ but representation in the Federal Par- iinmcnt.

Economic Fur tors

According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for the year 1928, the following economic fac- tors applying to the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec only, justify my contention as regards concen- tration of uesltli and industry:— About 84f“. of total investment in Canadian Industry, About 80".; of Canada's total In- zlustriai Employment,

About 87% of Cauadas total In- dustrial Production.

In addition to paying toward the tariff protection of Ontario and Quebec manufacturers, the Mari- times are required to pny trans- portation charges on industrial commodities purchased by them from Central Canada, and are thus placed at a great disadvantage compared with producers in On- tario and Quebec. It has been con- servatively estimated that on auto- mobiles now operating in the Mari- iimcs, over $2,500,000 have been paid in transportation charges from Central Canada, in addition t0 over $20,000,000 representing the enhanced cost on account; of pro- tection in industry in those Prov- inces. By reason of the concentra- tion of important economic factors in Central Canada, a burden has thus been placed on the Maritimcs, which was never anticipated by the Fathers of Confederation, aid which heavily handicaps their cc- onomic welfare.

Take the case of the dLscrimin- ation against the Maritime ports. These ports and rail facilities con- structed ln connection therewith,

pose of handling Canadian trade all the year round, in compliance with pledges given in the framing of Confederation, and again when the Transcontinental Railway was constructed, after having been de- prived of the export grain traffic for many years, and which vhas been going largely through Ameri- can ports in the winter season, re- cent investigations and statistics prove conclusively that for the post thirty years the tremendous sum of $30,000,000, on the average, per year, has been going out of Can- ada to the United States railways, and giving employment to thous- ands of workmen in that; country, while many of our own people were without work.

are now told by no lem an author- ity than Messrs. James Richardson and Son, Ltd., of Winnipeg, the lending grain exporters of Canada, that. we have adequate faculties to handle all Canadian grain destined to the United Kingdom through Canadian ports, and that it is good business to ship through Saint John and Halifax, as it can be done cheaper than through United States Atlantic ports. This is a. strong argument in favor of Muri- time claims for adjustment, in view of the large Federal Govern- ment expenditures and efforts put forth to mace the Hudson Bay Route on the map. and make it feasible for grain shipments for n few weeks ln.the year, in spite of serious handicaps, If the Maritime ports had been receiving the con- sideration and support they had a right. to expect as a part of the Confederation Pact, and $30,000,000 per annum could have been kept in circulation in Canada, it i5 doubtful if the Dominion would he grappling today with railway fin- ancial problems and unemployment to such a. serious extent, and it would have added tremendously to Maritime industry and possibly meant a reduction in taxation. Many of these unfavorable -condi- lions exist and have been made possible, not only from strong in- fluence in other centres in the promotion of their own local inter- ests, but also very largely because in the hfuritimes we have lacked unity in thought and action. With- out n combination of effort in the Mariiimcs as a. unit, we have failed to hold our own 0r. to keep pace with the rest of Canada. We have more varied resources, with tre- mendous potentialities, in the Maritinics than probably any other part. of the Dominion, but being shut out of the United States, our nearest market, as well as other foreign markets by tariffs, and be- ing deprived for yicars from devel- opment of Maritime ports, and from participating in the ‘home markets, as n result, of excessive freight rates, it can readily be seen what an important part the qucs- tion of transportation is to the Iviilflillllg Provinces and will play in future development, as the fruc- tion of n cent, per hundred pounds of freight, is often a (ICCItIIIIZ far:- tor.

The one remaining local iluestion I would like to refer to is that of the Car Ferry accounting, which seems to be so little understood. even by our owrrpeople. Those having had to deal with Govern- ment. and railway officials for n great many years past, are only too familiar as to how the mixing of the ferry accounts with those of the railway has worked t0 the prejudice of our Province. Ii: has been dealt. with 0n many occasions by our Boards of Trade, and when the facts relating thereto were placed before the Duncan Commis- sion, n recommendation was made in their report; to the effect that the ferry service should not be run as part of the railway operations, but should be run under separate account for the Department, The

The ferry service ‘is Port of the consideration paid by lire Dominion of Canada. to the Province of Prince Edward Island as en inducement to enter the Confederation partnership, and Prince Edward Island, therefore, has the right to m that that‘ treaty o_r pm ls honored 100%. When the tenders for n. new car ferry were first called for, it was for a boat very much similar in dimensions n» the 01a "flrince na- ward Island" ferry, and Mr. Hun- gerford, Vice President of the Cun- adian National Railway st that time, stated in e report given to the Boards of ‘Prado by Mr. Apple- ton that e larger boat and addi- tional docking facilities could not be built, as the cost was not justl- fled. ‘Ihat. report, it could. readily be seen, did not give consideration to our constitutional or treaty rights, nor did it fulfill the recommenda- tions of the Duncan Commission. The Boards of Trade protested, with the result, in due course, that new plans were eventually drafted, and new tenders called for o. larger boat, together with additional docking facilities to be construct- ed, At the last annual meeting of the Maritime Board of ‘Ii-ode, the question of the car ferry account- ing was again dealt with, as you will see by the attached resolution. and brief. Mr. Hunger-ford acknow- ledged receipt; of some to Mr. W. Chester S. McLure, M. P., on No- vember 14, 1932, as per letter ut- tached, and from which you will see that while Mr. Hungerford contends that it could make no ap- preciable difference to our Province if the accounts were separated-in the very next paragraph he deals wit-h the question of the cost, of transporting automobiles, which is $4.00 each way or $7.00 for return trip. He refuses to consider any re- duction, and is firmly of the opin- ion that these charges are reason- able and fair.
