The carriers have said they cannot do the massive job in less than a war. On the effective (lair. a flat rate rctlurlion given the W'est last November will be climlnalcrl and superseded by the new scale. This five per cent reduction on the ceiling rates was ordered by the board as an lntcrim measure pi-nding its major decision. It was accompanied hv permission to tha- railwnys to pick up the revenue loss by increases up in 10 per cent in Ontario and Quebec. These increases also will be automatical- ly eliminated. The new move Tuesday on the ceiling tolls -- known as "class" rnles -- is to be followed up by subsequent rulings on other types of rates. some of which have been tinder slurly concurrently with the r'nss rates. Eventually. charges on about half of the country's freight business will he equalized as between different areas. Effects Of Ruling For ihe time being. the regional effects of Tuesday's decision stack up this way: 1. The three far-western prov- E-ces should get the greatest re.- ductions In rates, though the per- cenlageilti not known. 2. The over-all level of rates for Manitoba will be lowered some- what, though not as much as the provinces farther west. 3. Rate: within Ontario and Quebec will be moderately higher. 4.

Lower Long-Haul Rate Major change in the actual rale scale from the board's lenlafive 1952 judgment. is that it provides a sharper tapering-down of charges per mile on long hauls. This will lend to give the far-western prov- inces a better break on hauls in and from the central points oi market and supply. The taper is sharper than in ex- isting rates but more is 1101 as much taper as in one submillcrl in the board by the Canadian Pacific Railway after the original judg- ment.

Its people, who new number 2,210,000, acquired more and more home rule as the years went on. The constitution proclaimed in July 1952 makes self-government nearly complete, and Puerto Rico became a "commonwealth" at- tached to the United States. Washington still runs its foreign affairs, maintains military bases and operates the postal service. some low cases go to the U. 8. Supreme Court. Puerto Rilcans are 17.5. citizens, and enter and leave continental United States without restriction. Representative A.L. Miller (Rep. Neb), chairman of the House of Re'presentative.s interior and in- sular adalra committee. said Tues- day he is considering offering a bill to make Puerto Rico indepen- deoit so the United States would have some control over the move- ment of Puerto Ricans to these shores.
