‘transport Commissioners and its jurlsd ction extended to include regulation of air traffic and oer- taln shipping.

Would Bring Chaos

The Association in its brief pre- sented to the committee said the agreed char es provision “would not merely ring chaos into the field of railway transportation, where experience has - shown the necessity of regulation, but would make impossible the achievement

of order and stability in the field 4

of highway transportation. where Jt-is recognized that‘ there lsequsl need for it."

“Provisions which will operate ln this way and which. in addition, will discriminate unfairly as be- tween indlvidual shippers and a ainst carriers by water, air and hgilway cannot, in our submis- sion, be said to be in the public in- terest," the brief continued.

The Association favored reg- ulation oi ell forms of transport on a basis similar to the present regulation of railways.

Transport Minister Howe told John R. MacNicol (Con. Toronto- Davenport) that the agreed charge clause would not ermit discrimin- ation in favor o large shippers. He said the clause enabled trans- glrt companies to izive special rates

individual shippers where sh - pers agreed to‘ give the company all their business for a perlodoi years. The same rates would be available to all shippers under similar circumstances.

LONDON, April 28-61-9413. Brit.- ain’s food supplies will pass ilnder strict control immediately, should war break out. Everybody will be issued ration cards-even the K1118 . His father, King George V, had one during the Great War.

Remembering the trying days of that conflict when the country once was perilously short of sup- plies, the Government today an- nounced an elaborate plan to place all food under a single controller. It was designed to prevent any food shortage, initiated prices or food lines so familiar in 1916 and 1

Insular Britain. dependent large- ly on imports for her food. will make huge purchases under the

control plan.

The Cover merit already is stor- ing stocks of wheat, whale oil and sugar. Sir John Simon. Chancellor of the Exchequer, told the House of Commons Tuesday they were purchased secretly early this year.

LONDON, April 28~—Grea.t Brit- ain and France. translating into terms of action their historic entente cordialc. today laid speci- fic plans for a. single military and economic front in case of war.

Prime Minister Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax. Foreign Secre- tary, for Britain. and Premier Ed- ouard Daladler and Foreign Min- ister Georges Bonnet. for France. agreed on concrete implementation of the Anglo-French political a- greements oi 1936 and 1938.

This meant. Haves was authori- tatively informed. a detailed pro- gram for cooperation between the British and French air forces and for joint- maintenarlce of supply lines. should either power fell vic- tim oi aawression.

The general mutual defence pro-

m was authoritatively described to Haves es follows:

l. Cooperation in the air will begin at once. because Britain is particularly vulnerable to plane attack. 1n view of the speed of modern war aircraft. enemy avi- ation could be effectively driven of! only by pursuit planes taking ofl from continental bases and giving battle before the attacking fliers could reach e British coast. With this in mind, the two aviation general staffs will immed- iately begin erochanzihs technical information on personnel. Material and tactics.
