Mr. Coldwelfs non-confidence motion, on a. Government motion to go into supply, asked the House to express the opinion the Gov- ernment's failure to defer the freight-rate increase was inimical to the best interests of the state and that it should reconsider its decision. He said he reclined I. general election might ensue if this Gov- ernment were defeated, but “the question l: of such vital import- ance to the people of Canada that it should be decided by the people of Canada. if necessary." First of its kind in almost a quarter-century, the investiga- tion in freight-rate structure may tale from one to two yen-e and will be is: broader than the Iii-year investigation that culminated in lost week's award of a zl-per-ceut general rate increase f0 the railways. The new inquiry, to be conducted by the Board of Transport Oom- missioners, is the Cabinet's answer to regional uproar against the Board's boost, which goes into ef- fect tomorrow. Governments o! seven Provinces -all except Ontario and Quebec- had asked the Cabinet to withhold the new rates for 30 days until they could file a formal appeal. This request the cabinet turned down, but announcing the rejec- tion and the general inquiry to the Commons, Transport Minister Chevrler made clear that did not bar the Provinces from going a- head with their appeal. The projected inquiry, Mr. Chev- rier said, will be a “thorough in- vestigation" into the whole rail- rate structure, with the particular object of levelling of! “inequalities which may exist in the various re- gions across Canada." The aim would be s “fair and reasonable" rate structure which- "under substantially similar cir- cumstances and conditionW-wouid be equal in application to all area. Such s structure. it was hoped, would permit “freest poslble" exchange of commodities betwgn during 1947 reached an ijiva . lnvestlture In Confederation Chamber At a abort, impressive ceremony held in the Confederation Cham- ber at noen yesterday.
