There has been a snot deal of discussion within the past week or so .on price support for potatoes and many raiser extraordinary proposals have been advanced; some reasonable and some rather lxinordln-rr.".slateu Mr. W. n. 35". Deputy Minister of Agri- culture.

”One of the latest has reference to asubsidy on starch production. The absorption of potatoes for stanch on Prince Edward Island wouldnotbegreabbutln the Province of New Brunswick starch factories could siphon off very large quanti-ti . irrespective of where the potatoes are taken from the whode situation on the open market would be rhaterieily isn- proved by the diversion of sup- plies for starch purposes.

"As far as other forms of assist- ance are concerned I doubt if therewlllbevcry much of a change of mind in higher circles regarding be support Policy. some suggestion has been advanced that potatoes for feeding .pur- poses might be subsidized. and in view of the needs of the country for larger meet supplies, there might be some merit in a proposal of this-kind. in any' event we are giving all these matters careful conside tlun and are keeping our fingers crossed regarding the final outcome.

Appeals For Cooperation

"uaylsayagainthetitisa year of extreme divfficwlrty in mar- keting and one in which any sei- rm: interests on the part of any elements in the trade should be cracked down with vigor. Crit- ictlns of Marketing Boards that are trying to do a good job and of dealers who are trying to do a good jdt. should not be kicked around before the public gaze. but the fullest and most sincere co- operation of all mould he enlisted for the purpose of strengthening facilities for marketing all along the line.

"in! there is too much of the at- titude prevalent that there is a big fight on, as long as that at- itude prevails our msrketlm sys- tem will ranain week. Thought- less crlticiun and thoughtless aci- ion by thou-ghtlees men will never do any indust , any good. At the sams'time I have seen evidence this year of real sincere effort.

'”No grower or dealer shall use crates. bags, or other containers for the handling of potatoes that have been previously used unless the some have been disinfected to the satieiiaction of the Inspector!

” 'No second. hand bags previous- ly used outside the Province of Prince Edward Island shall be used in this Province for potatoes unless said bags have been primor- ly disirrfected.' '

"'Every carrier shall furnish the Minister, on request, with full in- formation as to he tranmortation of second land bags into the Province of Prince Edward Island including the number or quantity and the names of the Consignora and Consignees theseofi

"if potato interests can meet these regulations and bags are thoroughly disinfected then it might be advisable to use some of them, but irrespective of where slacks have been dlslrllected and or the kcdentials they 'may used sads must be inspected by our inspectors before they are dis- trlbutod."

2. A recommendation for ap- plying limitations in general fro ht-rate increases on long-haul traflc. which would benefit ship- pers and receivers of freight in the Maritimes and the west.

3. Rejection of proposals for any kind of amalgamation. unification or public ownership of the rail- ways. The Prince Edward Island Government had been the chief advocate of this type of action in the Commission's hearims.

4. Rbjection-for the time being at least-of a Canadian Pacific Railway proposal that Parliament free the statutory "Crow's Nest Pass" rates to enable them to be-

'come subject to the same control

as other rates. The Commission devotedta major chapter to this controversial issue, which provid- ed one of the hottest lights of the inquiry.

5. Rejection also of a Maritime

request for federal construction of en is-mile canal across the isthmus of Oh' ecto to link the Gulf of at. Lawrence and the Bay of Brady and give an all-inland waterway down the Atlantic coast. The Commission estimated the -project would cost S100.000.000. 8. Rejection of a 0. P.

Parliamentary security of whether the O. N. R. and O. P. R. effect joint" co-operative econonfies un- der a 193.1 statute to save money through pooling of services ,and the like. some Pro- vincial Governments argued dur- ing the hearings that greater co- operative eooncanles would cut down the size of freight-rates in- creases. - Bight Provincial governments took part in the Commission's hearings. which stretched through 135 daily sessions in 1949 and 150. It was at the instance of seven of them-the Maritimes and the West that the Commission was originally appointed in 1943 fol-' lowing complaints ht the way the first poet-war rate-increase case had been handled.

Newfoundland joined the other Provinces after it entered Gon- federation in 1949.. Its submissions were largely confined to seeking improvement of transport facilities in the new Province. but the other Governments entereda wide range of recommendations dealing main- ly with roll rates and Allied mat- tors.

The Ontario and Quebec Gov- erranenta took no part in the in- vestigation. The Commission ob- served in its report that these Provinces are. in a.relatively-ad- vantageous position with respect to transportation charges. since competition between rail. highway and water facilities tends to hold down their rates.

The Western Provinces mainly responsible for pushing the rate-equalization proposal. though the plan as finally drafted was that of the Commission and its ermerta. The proposal for co- ordination of transport facilities had been put forward In some de- gree by witnesses before the Com- mission. which eventually carried it somewhat further and in a dif- ferent direction than had been pro

some railway witnesses called for co-ordination or a measure of "centralized control" over trans- port mainly to put checks on the incr ' cmuneroial highway competition ” - high- grsde rail traffic.

in its findings. the Commission took ncteof the competition factor but made no reccmmendatiuuthat would encroach on the Provinces' defined jurisdiction over intra- provinclal highway traffic.

There is no hope. it said, that central uniform control of all transport, including provincial. can be realised in the near future.

It added the hope, though, that some day the Provin s will agree to co-operate with t Federal authority in carrying out a "com- mon policy of co-ordination."

Meanwhile, it added. there is no reason why Parliament should not proceed as far as in author- ity extends towards establishing a national transportation system un-

der the control and regulation of l -a supervisory board.

It listed rthe various transport agencies--with the word "high- ways" in brackets-and said they should be regulated so as to serve in meeting the country's needs.

Adoption of the policy of co- ordinated control. it declared. would bring together the three federal hoards "reorganized and united and devoted to the pursuit of a well-planned policy for the co-ordlnation and regulation of all transport."

The commission did not set forth any specific principles to he fol- the co-ordination pro-
