Opposition was impelled to vote against ‘the Social Credit resolution because of its infla-

tionary currency proposals. The C. C. F. group, on the other hand, were jockeyed into support- ing the Progressive Conservative resolution be- cause ef the adroitness of its wording. lt mere- ly declaring as it did that the King Govern- ment did not possess the confidence of the country, the Progressive Conservative amend- ment simply affirmed what both the C. C. F. and Social Credit groups had been strenubuslyxon- tending throughout the whole debate. But on the final reckoning the Social Creditors opposed the Progressive Conservative resolution by way of reprisol for the Progressive Conservative op- position to their motion. All of which goes to show, remarks an exchange, how much shadow- boxihg the group system has introduced into

increase were the central provinces. There was no concern in Ontario about the increase be- cause the cost of it would fall elsewhere-on the western provinces and the Maritimes.

Because rates were lower in thc ccnrm] Pfilvlnces, these already enjoyed a marked ad- "1111119e over the others. A 30 per cent increase across the board, Mr. Moybonk said, would mean that thc advantage enjoyed by ‘central shrppe's over l‘llCll' competitors elsewhere in Canada would be increased still further,

_ Mr. Moybonk went on to criticise the haste with which the C. P. R. was pushing for the rare increase. ln six years, the C, P, R, hqd hey earnings bcforc taxes and fixed charges of $692 mllllOflS. For from bcing in extrcmis he said the railways were like camels with well fattened humps.

Mr. Moybank expressed his regret at being unable to provide the House with up to date regional operating figures. This was because the railways had changed their book-keeping systems since i927. On this point, he said: "lt seems to me that the Canadian National Railways ow-nerl as it is by the people of Can- ada, should be prepared at all times to give that information. We of western Canada and of the Maritimes are Canadians too. lt is no port of the business of the C. N. R.—so to be- have as to make it difficult for some of the provinces to learn just what the true situation was with reference to that railway."

Mr. Maybonk urged that a full inquiry be made into railway freight rates structure, as recommended by the Rowell-Sirois- commission.

Regardless of theldecision of the Transport Board, Mr. Maybonk urged the governmégt to suggest to the C. N. R. that no increase be put into effect immediately. A furl-her anJ fuller inquiry should be launched by the govern- ment to produce a scientific system of setting freight rates.

The Doctor Shortage

The Royal Bank Bulletin notes the fact that the number of physicians in Canada slight- ly more than doubled ‘in the ~10 years from 1901 to 1941, but this substantial increase barely kept pace with the growth of our population. The Medical Procurement Board found that in 1943 there were 1,261 persons per doctor, 3,477 per- persons por dentist, 5Z0 p-er practising nurses; Of thc 8,614 doctors serving civilians only 5,894 were general practitioners, the others being special-
