The Duncan Report‘ and

Maritime Rights

(J. W. Tyson, in Montreal Financial Times.)

An important impulse in the improvement conditions and sen- timent . in the Maritime Prov- inces has been the implementing oi recommendations contained in the report oi the Duncan Commission. The history oi this Royal Commission, appointed to investigate the economic situa- tion in the Maritime Provinces, is well known throughout the country. Its ﬁndings justiiled in large mess- ure the grievances which have been so long expressed by the eople oi Eastern Canada. The re mmend- stions were designed to meet the handicaps which had been suﬂered since Confederation and to make‘ amends ior disadvantages suilered in the creation oi the Dominion oi Canada. The beneﬁts have not only been direct in the carrying out oi practical and material sugges- tions. but, and this is perhaps the most important, they have had the effect oi restoring the conﬁdence oi the people in themselves and in the resources oi their section oi Canada.

Opinions dlﬂer among the people oi the Maritimes as to the treatment which has been meted out under the Duncan Report. So isr the re- commendations have been carried out only in part. While what has been done is accepted with a con- siderable measure oi sotisioction in some quarters, in others there is complaint that further action must be taken beiore the spirit oi the report is carried into eﬂect. In other words, there are those who ieoi that, in the spirit oi compro- mise. what has been Accomplished

other hand, there are those who will be satisﬁed with nothing short oi fulﬁlment of every clause oi the Duncan Report and who will iecl that even then the Maritime Pro- vinces have received a. short meas- ure of Justice.

The Duncan Commission made some thirty main recommendations. These covered larger appropria- tions to the provincial iunds from the federal treasury, reductions in freight rates, improved ierry service to Prince Edward Island, the na- tionalization oi the ports oi Halifax and Saint John, aid for the fishingl industry, the establishment oil coking plants. u revision oi importl

has been some increase made in federal allowances, some adjustment oi’ freight rates, and an enquiry has been conducted in the ﬁshing in- dustry. Steps have been taken to nationalize the ports oi Halifax and Saint John. Some

to Prince Edward Island and the ease ior the steel and coal indus- tries is being taken to the Tariff Board.

Those who contend that justice is not being done to the Maritlmes under the Duncan Report empha- size particularly the situation in ro- gard to railway freight rates. The Duncan Report points out that. while the freight rates ior the rest oi Canada were advanced 5d per cent. the increase applying to the Maritime Provinces was 92 per cent. This condition dated from 1912 but existed in a lesser measure before that. It is this transportation han- dicap which the "Maritime Right- ers" blame ior the destruction oi Maritime industry. They contend thstthe arrangement worked di-
