OTTAWA. Ont, April ZL-Unless recommendations for an extension oi limits oi the eastern region oi the Canadian National Railways - were formally rnado by the people oi the Maritimes, he would neither advocate nor consider any changes in the pres- ent boundaries, declared Hon. C. A. Dunning, Minister oi Railways and Canals, speaking to the committee of the House of Commons on railways and shipping today. Discussion in committee centred about the Mari- times railway situation.

By. recommendations contained in the Duncan report the Maritimes were given a general twenty percent freight rats reduction 1n 1927. The Canadian National and Canadian Pacific lines are both affected. As iar as the Canadian National road is con- cerned, the reduce’ rates necessitated the payment by the dominion gov- ernment oi approximately 05,100,000 in i088.

It was the contention of some of the Maritime representatives that an extension oi the eastern railway ro- gicn would give their cities bigger business. At the some time it was minted out that the greater the volume oi traiiic on maritime lines. the greater would be the amount the government. would have to make up.

Developing" Trade With l/lieft "Indies

(Special in The Guardian)

MONC'I‘ON, April 24—There should be a rapid development», oi trade be- tween the Maritime Provinces and West, Indies, but that development is largely up to the people o1 the Mari- times. The West Indies are a-nxloll! to trade with Canada and other things being equal they will buy Ca- nadian goods every time in prefer- ence to American. This fact, coupled with the twenty-five per cent tarii! preference in favor oi British floods and the excellent Canadian Na- tional steamship service, gives an oi!- portunity that, must spell big busi- ness not only in the Maritime Pro- vinces but throughout Canada. This statement was made today by Ml" R- Byron McLcnnan, proprietor o! the Brookfieid Creamery, ‘Truro, N. 5-. who has Just returned from a busi- 111355 [rip to the eastern group of the West Indian Islands.

Mr. Nicbennan who made the south cm trip largely in the interests oi the ice cream business said that the ice cream situation in the West In- dies today was Just about where it was in Nova Scotia twenty-five or thirty yggyg ago, Practically all the storekcepcrs are makinfl their °wn and the result is a very inferior pro- duct very unlike the superior article made in Canada and the Ufllied States.

Official reports. the Grange says, shows that during the two calendar years, 1926 and 1927, the importation oi white or Irish potatoes into the United States amounted to a total of 10,930,062 bushels, valued at $13,575,- 293, an increase oi 281 per cent as compared with the volume imported from 1924 and i925.

SAINT JOHN, N. B.. April 24—The best way to firmly establish trade between Canada and the West Indies is for representatives to go from Canada and get in touch with the producers and merchants and this refers particularly to the fruit trade. said John Paulhus. Vice President oi the Canadian Chamber oi Com- mercc, Montreal, who arrived at Saint John yesterday on board the R. M. S. Lady Hawkins, Canadian Nat- ional Steamships.

Mr. Pauihus visited Bermuda, the West Indies and British Guiana as a representative oi the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to report on conditions. He went on to say that there is a big market for their prod- ucts particularly fruit in Canada and this should result in increasing ‘our exports.

Speaking oi.’ the West Indian Is- lands as a whole, Mr. Paulhus stated they were one of the finest Islands in the world and the scenery was oi striking beauty. it. Lucia reminded him oi Palermo and he thought Can- adians would not only ‘find equal ii not greater enjoyment. in Bermuda and the West Indian winter resorts than Florida and California, but it would help to build up trade with Canada.

Mr. Psulhus found a. very friendly attitude towards Canadians and ade- slre to trade with us. The Island oi Trinidad was showing evidences oi great prosperity. Poi-t of Spain ,is a very modern city. up-to-date and busy, and there isa great deal oi new construction work going on.

Mr. A-senault: The some as last year. Is it the intention of the Gov- ernment to continue this grant from year to year?

Premier Saunders: It is the inten- tf-on to cpniinilt? it this year.

Mr. A-senault: It is hardly iair to expect this institution, which used to get more money, to continue in a state oi indnfiniieness. They do not know how long the grant is to be conxinued. For years past. they have hrcn repairing buildings and fixing up everything, so that the grounds make a very attractive appearance. Now they are decided what to do in the future. Don't you think this grant could be assured to them ior at least five or ten years. I saw the difference last year when it was so uncertain whether the grant would be discontinued or not.

Premier Saunders: I am very glad to think that my hon. friend realis- es that this Government is going to be in power ior the next ten years, but at the same time. while we hope the grant can be continued. we can- not glve any definite assurance. We can only say we shall do all we can. I have the greatest sympathy for that exhibition; I believe it is a good thing in that particular locality and that it is doing perhaps better ser- vice than any other small —-"‘“‘ Bo far as I am concerned, and so long as I am hers, I will be only too glad to assist Egmont Bay in its exhibi- tion. But when it comes to saying that we must extend it for the next five or ten years. I couldn't do that.

They I should be given the assured policy oi ths Liberal party in this respect. The Government has two years to exist; I wouldn't say to operate, but to exist.

These people are getting fewer it _is true. but they are entitled to some explanation. They may want to know what the policy oi the Government is for the next five or ten years. For the rest of us, we would like to know what you intend to do ior the next two years. I am sorry the Premier mis- understood me on this point.
