ISLAND FREIGHT (Continued from Page n ransom monument: Premier Marlviillan iv- "r “new” remarks expressed confidence in Mr. Matheson, as the mall in whom the Maritimes had to depend to, a treat extent in matters pertaining to railway trsnsoortaticn. Premier MacMillsn referred to the first conference of the three Maritime premiers held at Am- beret while he was acting Premier of thisP-ovince. At that meeting, and at all subsequent meetings the utmost harmony and co-ooeraticn prevailed between the Maritime ‘zovernments in fighting for com- mon rlghts. The speaker said that he considered it a great mistake that the ‘Transportation Commis- sion had ceased functioning for several years and made reference to the amount of money taken out of the pockets oi Maritime prduc- ers and shippers in the years be- tween 1912 and '27 by unjust freight rates The three provinces will continue to lose unless they have expert assistance from a man com- Petent to handle the situation, and watching that adjustments made in freight rates in the Central Prov- inces do not nulifliy the advantages given us under the Maritime Freight Rates Act.‘ Concessions had been mgdp s11 over Canada which have to a large extent made void the advantages the Maritime Provinces received unde- the Freight Rates Act of 1927. i191‘ MacMilian expregged great confidence in Mr. Matheson, who. he felt sure, he said, would receive co-operation from the ship- bors as he had from the three Maritime governments. ‘The speak- er went on to state that unless we have that harmony we will pay Benin as we did in the past in hard earned dollars. The letter and spirit of the Act of Confederation has been deptvted from verv fer in as far as the Yn- tercolonlal Railway is concerned. 1t was never intended to be 1 nay- ing nrooosltion. His recent visit to Ottawa has imnressed him. the Premier said, with the fact that this Province and the Maritimes "enersily will always have a hard "me to maintain their position is- olated as they are and of small sire. ‘Tiecrimination wherever possible has been the history of this and the other Moritime Provinces since Confederation. The case for the iifcrmrvfeq pea hem nresented het- t-"r before the White flomr1‘=slon than it bad eve" been before, Prem- ier MacMlllan mlieved. It was a matter of satirfisction, he said, to know that the three provincial governments of the Marltimes stood side by side in the fight for rights and common justice. a "We sank all differences politic- alll. he said. "and put everything we had into the fight for rights for the Maritime Provinces." Commend: Rcpresentatives Mr. R. E. Mutclrsnd Mr. J. O.

As a con- ‘scqzssnoe the benefits intended bythe Maritime Iii-eight Act were “whit- tled? away gradually by rate reduc- tion in other parts of Canada to met-motor truck and water comPBli- tion without corresponding reduc- tions in the Maritime Provinces. P1111308: OI Visit This purpose o! his visit, Mr. Ma- thescn explained, was to endeavor to acquaint the various Boards of Trade of the Meritimes and pa:- ticulerly the shippers oi the im- 13911281106 of this organization and the assistance that can be obtained in e. general way in matters rele- vant to transportation. 0n taking oflicc the Commission was chiefly engaged in reorganization, a task in itself. Nevertheless. the Commis- sion found time to assist in relic cases before the carriers and asso- ciations and to advise shippers of "houses that might affect them in ‘be competitive markets oi Canada with resultant benefits to some of ‘nose concerned. At present the Commission is en- deavcrlng to ascertain the extent to which changes in robes in Cen- tral Canada have affected the status of the Maritime Freight Rates Act. One o! the most osten- sible’ changes has been brouqht to the attention of the Board of Rail- war Commissioners informally and their report is being awaited be- fore preceding further on the var- pus other rate changes. Maritimos Affected The crux of the situation, Mr. Metheson said. is that the various rate changes in Central Canadian markets have afiectcd Maritime in- dustries. Rates were reduced to meet so-called water and truck competition for distances up to 300 miles, and applicable bout the whole year. The situation that exists, in other words, amounts to reductions in Ontario. Quebec, and other Canadian points which, in s large number of cases, arc greater than the reductions under the Mer- itlme Freight Rates Act. The greet- cst danger lies in the fact that Rail- wus can issue r ' ' iit! rates and categorize them under motor truck and water competitive rates with the excuse that such rates no , rmiasible under the Railway Act. It is necessary. there- fore, to establish the purpose and intent of the Maritime Fioght Rates Act and wDeciaiiv e which states: "rho purpose of this Act is to give statutory 1d- vanteges in rates to s and industries in the three provinces of dition upon the lines in the Prov- ince of Quebec mentioned in sec- tion 2 (togett hereinafter called ‘select territory‘) which may des- troy or prejudiciaily aflect such ad- vantages in favour of persons or industries located elsewhere than in such tel-rim ." The reductions resulting from the Maritime Freight Rates Act have placed our indmtries nearer the markets." Mr. Mathcson said, "but it was nothing more than a consid- eration to which we were entitled because of the estimated 250 miles additional road built because oi’ military and strategic reasons, and the uh-“gation to the Meritimes dating back to the Icndon agree- ments and the British North Am- erlca Act. It is oi paramount im- portance, therefore, that the pur- pose and intent of the Act be pre- served end protected. Basic Producers "In_the Maritimes we are prim- arily reducers cf basic and prim- ary commodities, the market pricm of which are deter-ruined by supply and demand from other sources, and consequently necessitates the absorption oi the dl7erence o! the transportation cost by the pro- dwers in this section of the coun- t-y. 0n the other hand, the cost of the finished products generally ore passed on to the consumers. The finished products of Central Canada are highly protected. and also generally capable of bearing relatively high rates. ‘it is essen- tial to us in the Maritimes, there- fore. to obtain eve'v transportatior concession from our railroads if In- dustry in these provinces is to pros- per. Rail reductions in the Cen- tral Provinces on the so-chiied primary commodities produced also in this section of the country with- out; corresponding reductions to the Maritimes has rendered our com- petitive disadvantages more acute and has tended to out down the ter- ritory in which we can compete." Railway bosses The first class railways of Can- ada, Mr. Mathscn continued. have been losing heavily during the last five years, and are loathe to make reductions unless forced through * * ‘ and loss of revenue. Increased motor. truck and water competition have made inroads in their revenue concom- itant with the loss of traiiic as a result of the deflection. Just to what extgilt were re- duced to main rails or rc- dueed to mzet competition is im- possible to determine, but there ll no doubt tb demonic rates xa'"fs?w~ r-mfiii; Concerted Action Necessary Mr.‘ Matheson, in this connection, am b ' -' the necessity of cors- certed action on the parts of mu governments to allocate each phase of transportation to its proper realm of operation and control. In this respect the Canadian Rail- roads through the Railroad Act have been regulated by the Board of Railway Commissioners. On tho -'h~- b-nd the truck and water competitors operate with virtually no tntrol, with free canals and. as in ‘he case of the common carrier and centred trucks, relatively low taxation. "It is to our adavntage, in the Maritirnes." he said. “that control of these agencies be eflective a! the earliest possible date as’ it will result in published and controlled rates and something tangible to refer to in so-calied competitive rates in respect to the Maritime Freight Rates Act. Moreover, com tml would be to the betterment of ell concerned. Uncontrolled com- petition in public or quasi-public utilities is destructive and devote.- torv and the survival of the fittest would imply nothing more or lesl than the inevitable ruin oi’ indiu- H-w industries and consmuniti through cut-throat competition and: duplicate services."
