Professor Kelrstead said the drastic loss of seaward markek in the late 1800s would have come about with or without Confedera- tion. Technological advances had made it inevitable that industry would gravitate toward markets in central Canada.
DIVERSIFICATION NOW
However. he added. centraliza- tion had not affected all industry and now there is a trend toward a more diversified economy.
Dr. Frank MacKinnon. prin- cipal of Prince of Wales College. Charlottetown. said the Maritime . based largely upon lum- ber. fishing and shipping. had lllrrived until the 1850s when the steel steamship was introduced.
The great markets eastward by see were rapidly being lost. A short boom developed before the Treaty of Reciprocity ended in 136. The co-incident loss of im- perial preferences with Britain forced the Atlantic provinces to look westward for markets. even thought they were not interested in the fundamental movement to- wards Confederation.
The shift in the economy forced- bhe larger union.
A. S. Abell. assistant director of the finance department's eco. nomic planning division. said there was slowness of expansion and real growth.
LARGER MARKETS SEEN
The great development of cen- tral Canada had not impoverish- ed the Atlantic provinces but was ”spilling over", creating larger markets. for Maritime products and making it possible for ,t.he government to support such pro- jt-cls as Camp Gagetown and the Halifax naval establishment. John J. Dcutsch. secretary of the treasury board and chairman of the panel. said that in coming into Confederation the Atlantic provinces expected better and newer. opportunities. Economic progress has been achieved and the Marltimes have benefited. The absolute rate of growth has not been as great as for the rest of Canada. How can it be increas- ed? This problem will confront the seminar for the next two days.

SAY! EARNINGS UP
All rail negotiations have had keen public interest since 1950, when the non-operating employees staged a paralyzing national strike that lasted nine days.
In answer to a question. Mr. Hall said the health plan uxuld be non- contributory.
Union policy ”had been decided following a survey of general eco- nomic conditions. the improved earnings of the railways. and wage increases granted in other indus- tries. The last wage increase on the railways became effective Sept.- 1, 1952."
He estimated the wage demands would cost the railways 570,000,000
