Freight Shipments

"72 per cent of the tonnage load- ‘ ed on cars on Prince Edward Is- land is agricultural exports. 4'! per cent of the freight unloaded on Prince Edward Island is manufactured material. Of the outgoing tonnage. 60 per cent is potatoes, and the largest propor- tion of it goes to Central Canada.

“It is difficult in reach these markets even now, but it would be much more diiflcult if the freight rates are increased; indeed, it is likely to check the trade oi pota-_ toes completely, except ior high grade seed stock. of which the Island has a near-monopoly.

grsds seed. and by better packing and culling of their product. and the production stock.

"With respect to manufactured goods of which the island imports practically all its requirements. these goods cannot be purchased unless farmers are prosperous, and the trade in them would cease to s. considerable extent. As a matter of fact,’ under existing conditions,‘ the population would shift away‘ from Prince Edward Island as it has done in the past.

"An increase in freight means that the markets will be restricted. and there will be little or no movemmt in freight, or. on the other hand, the island will revert to water transportation as form-i erly, together with the develop-i merit oi a truck-carrying ferry tn ' Nova Seotla. v

"The large items on the imports are fertilizer. limestone and ma- chinery and materials of produc- tion for farmers and fishermen.

"At the Charlottetown hearing you were told that the income per farm. and the per capita income of Prince Edward Islanders are among the lowest in Cana s; in fact are only about one-half of some oi the other provinces. The per capita income per Province in

1044 was 8386 as compared with. I8675 for Canada as a whole. Thai ‘net income per farm was $749 in

1044 as compared with $1693 for Canada as a whole. The cash in-

cent derived from potatoes so that an increase in freight rates makes potato growing a precarious busi- ness.

P. E. l. Subsidy i

"The subsidy paid Prince Ed- ward Island. as a result of the late l Imnference, was not based wholly ion the needs of Prince Edward Island. and the settlement would not enable us to approach within 85 per cent of the services given .in the Central Provinces of Can--

‘our services did not approach, iwithin 65 per cent of the services

merit have flat rates of pay nil across Canada, which are out of line with rates of pay which the Province is able to provide.

"I-t is not possible that Prince Edward Island could adopt at pre- sent s. uniform wage law with the rest of Can ds. Until this position is recognize , it would be unwise for Prince Edward Island to agree with the Railway to charge in- creased freight rates.

"Instead oi a horizontal increase in freight rates, some method which would give iull rccognltioi to the purpose and intent of" the Maritime‘ Freight Rates Act, should be devised; that is, if it is shown that an increase in frelgnt rates is necessary. or at least freight rates on bulky commodities should be kept down.

Federal Responsibility

"The policy oi the Federal Government for a Canadian agri- cultural export program demands a specified production for a speci- fied trade, curtails the freedom of trade between the Provinces. and hampers the export of agricultural and fish products in our ordinary market area.

"If an increase in freight rates is granted, it should be paid, in the case of the Maritlmes Provin- ces, by the Federal Government. Particularly is this true with re< spect to feed grains, which. in mv humble opinion. should be always freight free from Montreal east. in order to put us on ah equslitv with the rest of Canada. ‘and parts of Europe which enjoy an ocean freight rate.

"It is said that at the present time our purchases from Central Canada, forced on us by tariff policy are at least fifteen times as valuable as the goods we ship to Central Canada. ‘rhst ls, Prinre Edward Island is exporting its products for the most part. and the dollars obtained from export are going to Central Canada for

Effects op Rail Traffic .

"As it appears to mo, the net re- sult oi an increase in freight rates would be to engender a policy of building up our shipping again, and oi developing ferries at the cast end of Prince Edward Island to enable us to trade directly with

"One of our chief markets is Nova Scotia, which brings in about twenty-five million dollars worth

Cape Breton, and Plot/cu Countz; all within two hundred miles o! Prince Edward Island li crossings are made on the eastern ferry. This trade could be increased at least ten times its present volume ii service by day and night was established.

“Inasmuch as Nova Scotia was our chief market previous to Cori- federation, all we have gained by the shift to train freight service does not give us bgck the Nova. scotia market but shifts us away from it. It can only be held oy, export by trucks and by boats. The freight rate from Central Canada, together ‘with established agencies in food stuffs travelling mostly in refrigerator cars, pre- cludes competition from Prince Edward Island. A rise in freight rates would not change the situa- tion in our favour in the case,of Nova scotis.

Confederation ‘Terms

"Prince Edward Island entered Confederation in i373, in order

mostly to get connection wltL Canada through the Intercolonlai Railway. This railway traveh north in New Brunswick for hun- dreds of miles, and is a most un. economical route to follow in order to reach central Canada. m», have upheld National policy, and we have allowed our shipping to decline. It WIII he a costly under. inking to change back to shipping, Such a change would greatly our- tail the railroad's business but the tar-ferry would cost the same and must be maintained according to the Confedaratlon Pact of i373.

"Prince Edward Island has been able to compete in Central Can. adian markets only because 1i; product is superior, and commands a higher price. Better packing and culling, disease free stock, skilful merchandising and advertising, have given us a standing on the markets of Canada and the Un- ited States that enabled us to pay the high frelghtrates. An increase in freight rates may well destroy our position.

“The freight rates might wall be lowered to permit us to reacl an ocean port in winter. It is quiu possible for the railroad to double its business on P.E.I. by a lower scale of freight rates. If rates ars raised it will lose business in vol- ume of freight."
