It is expected to be brought be- fore Parliament perhaps early - iiiext year to take effect after the equalization plan gets operating. In The Maritime: For the Mariiimes. the legis- lation provides protection against freight-rate increases on goods in that area resulting from the equalization plan. That is. the bill stipulates that rates under the M. F. R. A. are not to be hoisted to equalize them with rates else- where. ' Another section dealing with Maritime freight charges was in- cluded in today's bills, but it merely confirm. an existing, ex- tra-iegal practice in effect for some years. That is the practice of giving the statutory 20-per-cent reduction on Miaritimes-originated freight traffic when it involves a water haul west of the Maritimes- Quebec boundary. This provision was omitted.-apparently inadvert- cntly-irom the original Maritime Freight Rates Act. In the general field of equaliza- tion, the legislation virtually scraps the existing rate setup and suggests - without making it mandatory-that the board follow new methods in setting up "equalized" rats scales. it lays down the freight-rates policy" as meaning the same charges for the Snmc types of rail traffic in all parts of Canada. "national Chief Exceptions However. it sets out several specific exceptions and authorizes the Board to make any other ex- ceptions it considt-rs advisable. Chief exceptions: 1. Competitive rates-those depressed by the railways to hold business against com- petition. 2. Internatlonal rates be- tween Canada and the United States. which customarily fol- low the pattern laid down by the U. S. Inter-state Commerce Commission. 3. Rates on export and im- port traffic. which are set to enable Canadian ports to corn- petc for business with U. S. poris. 4. Rates Vproiected by the Marltlmes statute. Through not mentioned -in the hill, another segment at the rate structure remaining untouched would be the low, statutory "Crow's Nest Pass" tolls on grain cnd grain products moving in the Wcst. In working out the equalization plan, the Transport Board is authorized specifically to set' up "uniform" rate scales for the railways throughout Canada, both for individual commodities and for groups of commodities. The old and little-used "standard"- haslc-rates are wiped out. A particular effect of the new method, as suggested in the leg- islation. would be to have the rate per mile diminish sharply as tho length of a rail haul increases. That would serve to reduce charges on long-haul shipments prevailing in the Maritiines and the West. Under the Government's pro- posals. the railways will have to show justification for boosting any individual rate if anyone files an objection to it. The burden of proof is placed on the companies. The railways will be allowed to lower their rates expeditiously to meet competition. but they will have to supply the board with more information on these moves than they do now. The out-lylnz provinces have contended the present. regulations produce too great a concentration of low. com- petitive rates in Central Canada. throwing a heavier burden on the lllaritimes and West. Official scrutiny of railway fin- ancial operations and financial af- fairs will be tightened up by amendments providing that? i. The Transport Board is to lay down a uniform and simp- lified accounting system for the two big systems. which now keep their accounts on different bases. 2. The Canadian National Rail- ways is to report in detail to par- liament annually on measures taken under the Canadian Nation- al-Canadian Pacific co-operation act of 1933. which ordered the two companies to effect economies through the joint use of name of their duplicating facilities.

Renewed Vigor Al Presbyterian Church Assembly 0'i'l'AWA. June 14 - (OF) The 77th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. which was highlighted by de- mands for-and examples of-re- newed vigor in the church, closed last night. in the eight-day Assembly. com- missioners from 4'! Presbyieriee across Canada had: 1. Elected as Moderator Rev. Norman D. Kennedy of Regina- a man of humility and strength, who conducted the Assemiblty in an efficient manner. 2. Set up machineny for a s1,ooo,ooo campaign for church extension. 3. Set lllc-ITlEel'VOS the ta-Sk of raising another 35,500,000 for ordinary budgetary and congre- gational needs. 4. Aiecepted the responsibility of maintaining minimum sti- rpends for ordained ministers. 5. Revealed the church's grow- ing strength byanear d-oublih-g in church givings dturlng Lh last five years. "If we had the men and the money," said Rev. G. Deane John- ston of Brahtford. Ont.. chairman of the General Board of Missions, to last night's closing session. "We could double the size of the church In five years." some of those problems they hoped to iron out by the time the commissioners meet again at the 78th General Assomibly - set for the first Wednesday in June in Knox Church, Toronto. The Assembly after cautious de- bate last night passed a resolu- tion urging conisideravtion of the Hope report on education by the Ontario Legislature. The resolution. presented by Rev. E. C. Miccullagh of Dunn- viile, on-t.. as oonvener of the Board of Evangelism and Social Action. noted the Hope report had been tabled by Premier Frost. "The Commission was pleased to hear and to embody in the re- port nearly all the recommend- ations of the inier-church com- mittee ropresenvtin-g most. of the Protestant Churches of the Prov- lnioe," the resolution stated. and it "seems to have made a wise and constructive approach to the re- organization of the school system of the Province." The Moderator said he felt "em- barrassed" preslding d-urinsg pass- age of a resolution of concern to one Province in which he does not reside. Other commissioners expressed doubts over a national church assembly concerning itself with a strictly provincial matter. But the resolution passed after strong representations by Rev. Mr. McCullagh. He said: "This is of extreme importance to us. it means simply strengthening the hunch (if our Premier . . . and the biggest percentage of our church membership is in Ontario." An amendment asking that the matter be referred to the Ontario synods was defeated. The commission-crs stood off for at least another year a move to boost. minimum stipends of or- dained ministers. The proposal, made by the Pros- bytery of Brandon, claimed the present minimum-32,000 plus a maximum of 5300 for travel al- lowance and extra allowances from the ministerial fund for wives and children - had not kept pace with the cost of living. It adked for a raising of the min- imum Ito 32.11!) with the travel allowance ivmchanged. Mr. Johnston said the raise would impose too heavy it bur- den on the Board of Missions. The Assembly agreed with suggestion of James Dution of Petervborough. Ont.. chairman of the Board of Administration. that the measure be referred to the boards of administration and mis- sion to consider jointly and re- port back to next year's Anem- bly. A national campaign council was named, with representation from every Presbytery in Canada to head the 00.000000 drive for funds. including the special mil- lion-dollar campaign for extens- ion work.
