LONDON CP)—Canada is to ask Britain and other -sterling area countries to sweep away re- maining dollar import restric- tions as a part of a program to expand Commonwealth trade.

The demand is to be made by Finance . Minister Fleming some time during the two-day confer- ence .of the Commonwealth eco- nomic consultative council start- ing today.

British sources say, however, that Britain likely will adopt a wait-and-see attitude, deferring any decision until after the forth- coming general election. the Canadian government feels the dollar import relaxations’ an- nounced by Britain last May did not go far enough.

MONTREAL’*— Canadian Na- tional Railways, in one of the big- gest gambles in its passenger traffic history is about to launch an all-out assault on the huge im ter-city autotravel market, us ing off-season reduced prices and all-inclusive packages as the am- munition.

By offering revolutionary price plans with a double appeal —eco- momy and Gonvenience — Cana- dian National is betting that a sizeable portion of the long-dis- tance auto travelling public can | be persuaded to leave their cars|

PACKAGE FARE rb aot

Effective October ! rail coach | fares for groups of two.or more persons, on all Canadian lines, are being sliced to ‘“‘gas-routes”’ levels. In addition, convenient package fares for individuals or groups, scluding all rail expens- es— right down to tips — are being offered for. all clases of travel on Transcontinental lines. The two plans offer major sav- 4» The precedent-shaking ‘project was sparked by an intensive mar- ket survey of Canadian travel habits and attitudes conducted over the past year by Canadian National Railways’ market re- ‘search office. The survey confirm- ed that the railways’ top competi- tion in passenger traffic was the private automobile. Of the Can- adian travel market which amounts to about 35 million trips a year of 100 miles or more, the automobile has captured 75 per- cent, predominantly in groups. About 11 percent of such trips} are made by rail, the remainder | by bus or plane.

The survey indicated that eco- nomy fares and the inclusion of transportation, meals, berths, and tips in a single package price would be the best ways of win- ming passengers to the railways. The two new plans .are tailored to the expressed wishes of travel- ling Canadians and provide just | about the ultimate for an increas\ ingly cost-conscious public. Both plans may also be used in junction with the “Go now —

later” plan recently inaugurated by CNR.

This is how they will work:

1. Group economy fares: avail- able for groups of two or more — not confined to the same fam- ily — going and returning to gether, round-trip coach class only.

The fares are good anywhere in Canada where the normal round-trip coach fare is five dol- lars or more (1.E., between points at least_7142 miles apart). Under this plan the savings range up from 17 percent for each of two

26 percent for each of three adults, and over 37 percent for each of four of more adults in a group.

60-DAY LIMIT

The plan has a 60-day limit and includes stop-over priviléges and the normal free baggage allow- ance.

2. Allinclusive package plan: covers transportation, meals, sleeping accommodation and tips. It applies to travel on Trans-Con- tinental trains.

Al igélusive fares have a 60- day lififf*’’good for ‘continuous passage. Where stop-overs are de- sired a combination of fares over stop-ovg points will apply.

Individuals’; may use the all- inclusive plan for one-way or round-tripetravel, in first, tourist, or coach class. Children between the ages of five and 12 pay % percent of the adult package fare and children under five requir- ing meal service pay seven per- cent of the adult fare.

RETURN TRIPS

Groups may take the all-inclus- ive plan for return trips only, for groups of two or more going and returniong together, in all classes of travel. Savings are similar to those for the group economy fares the reduction being based on the individual round-trip package price.
