The case ‘for the Prince Edward Island interests was presented by A. E. Dewar of Charlottetown.

Mr. Dewar was the first wiflaess. H6 told of the extra cost to the Prince Edward island shippers through cars being swltchedfrom the Saint John yards to the west side docks. Questioned ‘by the Board he said that he had made no attempt to havcghis potatoes loaded from the eastern side of the harbor. He lied ‘had 150 car- ‘last year. ibut could not say how many carloads had been shipped this season. The switching rate was three cents a hundred pounds. He thought one cent would be a lair rate. His potatoes were shipped to Cuba.

A.‘ J.

He said that.

If the embaakments fail to hold. it is feared that thousands will be drowned. and it. is certain that the damage will be enormous.

There is unofficial talk that the capital may be removed to Basrah, 270 miles to the southeast. '

The government should know not only what to do, but how to do it," exclaimed Mr. Black. Prompt and definite action he said must be taken at. the present session of parliament, the goveriimen should make a declaration of pol- icy indicating that it intends to do justice to the Maritimes. "it is the duty of the government to deal with this question themselves and at the present session of parlia- ment.
