Future 0f (Continued from Page l) Speaking with regsrdto sir transporrin the life of sections of the country like the Msrltlme ProvI-nces, Mr. English sslti "a great ma ny people have been plen- nlng and talking about short-hsul local or feeder services; moat of us will consider the results to date s little disappointing because too much hss been expected too quickly. To perform a useful scr- vlce to the community a local sir- llne must till a local need; it must give a service that cannot be given ss efficiently by other means cf transportation or as economical- ly when sll factors are considered. Geography is the ally of the oper- ator because there is no geogrspliy of the skies. This point needs no emphasis in these provinces ny the sea; no similar ares on the con- tinent offers the opportunity for the development of local air ser- vices based on the time factor. What then is needed to develop such services? I think the answer is a good slrcraft for thst type of service-en aircraft which csn carry s limited number of per- sengers and cargo with safety and st a low operating cost. There is no such aircraft available today. Given n good aircrpft designed for the particular type of service, it would not be necessary to spend millions on the development of large airports for moderate sized communities. The operator would get his returns from a frequency of service rather than large lauds. and would build up s community interest in his undertaking. "Generally speaking, it is diffi- cult to build up an appreciable cargo business on a local service except where because of geography or other cause, there is s distinct time-saving element, or where there is no other mesns of com- munication except the air service. Provides Closer Link "In the matter of national and international sir. services, they have to offer speedy communist- tion with other rsctlanr of our Dominion and quick and conven- ient scress to the great centres of population of the neighboring re- public, I think it ls ssfe to my that sir transportation hss sl- resdy qulckened cur nstlonsl con- sciousness. It is not s question of time today for s wesierner to si- tend e gathering in the east or for an snsterner to be able to make s vlrlt to the west eosst and re- turn. "Aside from the business and profession-cl mun, sir transports- tion will bring s lsrgs volume of tourist traffic both from within Canada ss well as ths United States. "Transportation hss mount trade snd improved tmnsportstion. s greater exchange of goods and services, When people are lblg to move freely, and without foo much time consumed in travelling. they will do so. The business rnsn will see his markets first hsnd: will cbtsln s first-hand knowlsdgg of what he can buy and sell, sml will know personally the msn he is dealing with, sir transportation is another form of trenlllortlfion and communication, s: yet unme- vhnt ssecluunu if you wm, but history ever ropes-ts itself.

N. R. snd C. P. R. have hastened the railways’ action. ' "It ls patent that if the pro- posed increases are granted it would seriously liurldlcup Muri- iime industries ‘and also lend i0 increase consumers’ costs on all commodilies imported from other parts of Canada. Inflationary re- gwrcusslons could more or i-"ss be expected to follow. "The petitioners‘ proposal n-ai- urally raises the issues whether increases should be applied by a straight percentage or varying percentages upon traffic general- ly. or by means of the addition of "flat" or certain amounts to the going rates. Related to this latter‘ proposition is lhg suggest,- lon often mede snd recognized by regulatory bodies that if the percentage increase is applied there shell be specified maximum ii-fnoilnts of increase to particular commodities. In the past regu- latory bodies have applied both methods depending upon circum- stances. The lssues generally have been between Shipper‘! located at s corusidermble distance from their markets and those who have mer- kets relatively close. It ls palp- able that distance inrposes s han- diesp upon the long-haul shipper since the rsts paid exceeds that messed by his short-haul com- petltor. “Generally speaking the Mari- time Provlnces constitute s long- haul territory. As e result. Mari- time shippers and conslgnees srs more interested in the differences in the two rates and in the past have strenuously protested pros- pectlve increases of each rate by means of a uniform percentage, thus widening the rate differences per unit of transportation. The short-haul stripper nsturslly re- gards his shorter distance es an advantage to which he ls entitled. and he can be expected to urge with force the principle that the adjustment of rates with refer- enee to cost of service requires increased expenditures to be dis- tributed ratably among the rates so as to represent contributions for services performed. “Must Be Strongly Opposed" "Whether or not the increase l; required by the railways will be determined on the record. but certainly the application of straight percentage lncrcasesmust be strongly opposed by the Miarl- tlmes. The effects of straight per- centsge increases in the past srs well known. Indeed the Maritime Freight Rates Act was passed in order to ameliorate, inter ails, the effects of percentage increases applied during the first. world war sud lmmedlstely subsequent thereto." Mr. Matheson went on lo cite general changes in class mics in Eastern Canada and other fig- ures. "It seems implicit in the re- cent increases in the cost of food products." he said. “that the con- sumers now bear a considerable part of the iolai cost of trans- portation and distribution. Ad- vances in the price of foodstuffs es e msjor element in the cost of living afford a basis for renew- ed demands for higher wages in transportation and other indust- ries. It would seem to be in the interest of the carriers and the public generally that the cos! of food should not be pcrmliied in sdvence any more than is abso- Zutsfy unavoidable. Food Prices Affected "cognizance should also be tgken. of the fact that the price cf cerium food stuffs has been held down through government add. The application of increases at this time will either force in- creased sid to llie extent of the rsie increases. or the pillSlllfl vll a. mounts involved. It would also seem lust and reasonable that basin commodities such ss coal. iron, pteel, lumber and other ma- terials of such like. should also not be increased unless absolutely necessary. and if increased. these rgtg should be held down to flat maximum amounts. Transportat- ion charges tend to pyramid down the line to the flnsl consumer.

"There are certain things tbst are obvious about the propoled Lncrvases. First of all there is the effect that any increases wlllhsve upon the price ceilings. Secondly, if the percentage-wise method h approved on all commodities the full impact thereof will tend to be horne by long-haul producers. Elie effects of such percmiage- wise increases in the past are only too well known in Maritime in- dustries. Thlrdly. past experience has shown that increases by straight percentage methods re- main on long-haul traffic while competition for short-haul traffic has forced reductions in the short-haul rates.
