The system means that Brit- ain cannot decide by herself to fire the weapon but has a veto power over any firing.

BRITISH FISHERMEN

The British fishing industry employed some 22,000 fulltime fishermen at the beginning of 1961.

The first deadline is April 30 —the day the Freight Rates Re-

out almost $55,000,000 in subsi- dies since 1959 te cut certain freight rates.

Indications are the govern-

print proposed by the MacPher- son royal commission on trans-

portation.

Former Liberal Transport minister Lionel Chevrier asked Prime Minister Diefenbaker in the Commons Tuesday whether the government intends “at this session of Parliament’ to ex- tend the freight rates reduction act.

“The government will make | an announcement in the House when it feels it is appropriate to do so,” replied Mr. Diefen-

ker, |

EFFECTIVE IN 1959

The act went into effect Aug. 1, 1959. It was designed to roll back the full effect of a 17-per- cent freight rate boost author- ized late in 1958.

Under the act, $20,000,000 was put up to reduce freight rates for one year on goods carried at non-competitive rates, the so- called “captive traffic’ carried by the railways.

The subsidy was extended twice—first for nine months at a cost of $15,000,000, then for a full year at a further cost of $20,000,000

Each time, it was pointed out that the rate reducing subsidy was being continued until the government has received and acted on the recommendations of the six-man royal c sion headed by Regina M. A, MacPherson.

In the meantime, any new general freight rate increases | are banned under the govern- | ment - imposed “‘freeze’’ an- nounced in 1959,

GRANTED ONE SHOT

Another subsidy paid to the railways pending action on the MacPherson report cost $50,- 000,000 d was granted last year on a one-shot basis as an “interim payment related to” the recommendations of the MacPherson report.

It was also designed to hold down any freight rate boost re- sulting from last year’s wage
