THE CHAIRMAN: What are the other causes?

MR. TI-DMARSH: Probably po- litical interference.

THE CHAIRMAN: You must let us have the full truth. You fuar political interference’!

MIR. TIDMAIRSH: Yes.

TI-II-l CHAIRMAN: Can you give us any example of that‘!

THE CHAIRMAN:- A few min» ates ago. slightly below your breath, you said, “I am not lblillﬂ". Ing the officials; it is the politic-i fans." That was intended to con? vey to me a suggestion that there is political interference. If it was; not intended to convey that im; pressinu I cannot see what Ineuir’ lllg it hiid. You realize my position I cannot take that without some- thing to base it on.

MR. TIDMARSH: You must also‘ realize that I am placed in a very‘ difficult position. iVhile I know these bhings, it is very difficult to deﬁne a case.

the proper expansion and develop-

ment of the industry. the proper appointment of guardians. etc. I-Ie‘ explained that the apartment at' one time had been prevailed upon to employ Royal Canadian Mouiit- ed police to enforce ﬁshery regs-f lotions. Two or three of’ these. men were sent to the Island and they very soon stopped illegal practices; but they were with-l drawn. He charged that in New Brunswick the Minister of Marine' and Fisheries, in a campaign‘ speech, promised the ﬁshermen he would withdraw the Mounted Police III that section. and that they would not return again during his term of office. ,

iMR. TIIDMARSH: Yes.

THE CHAIRIMAN: But instead m’ having a Deputy Minister you

eiy enough to warrant the large investment of capital required to develop it. If we had au industrial commission to investigate that for as it would then be incumbent on the people of the Province to put up the necessary funds. and to have faith in their resources. l give that just as one instance.

‘THE CHAIRMAN: is it unreas- onaibie to ask of the inhabitants 0f the Province, t-hose who are iii- terested In these matters tihem- selves, to investigate? On what principle ar you suggesting that it is the business of a Federal Gov- ernment to prospect the land and advise all and sundry, if they have not the initiative to Ibe able to make it a proﬁtable enterprise‘!

MR. TPDMARSH: Well, there is large assistance given in other countries.

THE CHAIRMAN: Where?

MR. TIDMARISH: I have 'in mind the establishment oi‘ the pea and Ibeaii industry in the State oi Maine.

THE CHAIRMAN: Was that all done by the Government?

MR. TIDMARSH: Not entirely, the Government instructed parties who were about to embark

on the enterprise and tested the

soil.

THE CHAIRMAN: Did they do that at the request of these part- les?

MR. TIDMARISH: I think so. That was the Federal Government; and the State government also as- sisted. They kept their men there during. the whole season. from the time the pens were planted until they were canned.

THE CHAIRMAN: Does that not make a difference? I was wonder- ing where under your proposal business initiative starts.

MR. TI-DMARISH: That sugges- tion of mine is not entirely origin- al. The thing has been discussed before in the Maritime Provinces, about having an industrial com- mission to investigate, possibilities of industrial development. In the ﬁsheries, I think it would be diffi- cult to ascertain the kinds of ﬁsh we have in our waters. I know there are large scallop beds in the vinciiiity of Prince Edward Island, Ibut we do not know how large they srs or where they are locat- ed. The Government has done B01118 Work ~in lNova Sscotia. I do not know what has been done in connection with agriculture.

THE CHAIRMAN: I can under- stand the Government being asked. in so far as they possess natural resources, to see if they are of such value as to justify persons engaging in an enterprise of that kind; for instance, to sea whether they own mineral resources in coal, oil. gold or sliver. But you are suggesting a much wider thing than that. You are suggesting that the Government shoiiid make a general investigation into the pos- siibllltles of business being conduct ed in these three Provinces in all the possible lines of business. On what pninciple are you proceed- ing‘!

MR. TIDMAIRiSH: On the prin- ciple that general proﬁt might ac- crue Ito iiie Maritime Provinces and incideritly to the Dominion as a whole from the development of industries that might lbe practical in these Provinces.

THE CHAIRMAN: That is the principle?

MR. TIDMARISH: Yes. Whether

trains were moving regularly. THE CHAIRMAN: I think you

natural resources are. Take for ex- were entitled to receive it. Does

that occur often? M-R. AGN-EW: It occurs very oft-

year.

THE CHAIRMAIN: What do you think It is due to '3 is it just ord- inary unintelligence on the part of lower officials? . MR. Ail-NEW: Well, it is very difficult Io get the information. Ii as very difficult here to get it inmetimi-s, when a truiii Is coni- pg III. You may have to wait half tn hour longer.

Till‘) (‘IIAIRMAN: Is this kind of thing unusual on Canadian Rail- ways?

MR. AGNIHV: It is quite usual .w»ith its. I ihliik ll is unusual nu the mainland. We stayed a couple of months this winter at a Iiiace in Ontario and there were four fast trains in ‘Toronto every day. It was 132 miles east of Toronto and they made the journey in three and one half hours. It is 86 miles from Sackville to Char- lottetown and it takes ﬁve and 41 half hours. I think it is ridiculous that we should be subjected tn such treatment.

TIHE CHAIR-MAN: is a fast train something different from an express train?

-.Mr. Agnew: Yes. ‘it does not stop at nil the little stations. ' TH‘ CHAIRMAN: What about the otier people, from Sackvilic to Tormentine?

MR. AGNEW: They have ihc 0r- dinary train.

THE CHAIRMAN: 1s there suf- ficient traffic to justify a fast train such as you suggest?

MR. A-(INEW: I think there would Ibo if they had accommoda- tion. The great trouble with the tourists is that there is not accom- modation from Sackviiie.

THE CHAIRMAN: You look lip’ on the journey from Snckvilis to the Island as a bit of an ordeal. ‘MIR. AGNEW: That is it.

THE CHAIRMAN: That is the general idea?
