"1t wipes out any advantage under the Maritime Freight Rates Act," lVLr. GliiLs insisted.

An "additional burden" on the Malttinles would be in the market- Cllllada. Also, the increase would. apply to a. large quantity of food and clothing brought into Marltlmes from Central Canada.

The increase was the "final k'ok n. the face" to the Marltirnes| and it would knock them on their back. The increase would send up 7iv~ ing costs more than some people imagined. For instance, a SS-cents-a-ton increase in the rates on coal act-l ually would work out to 50 cents in the Maritimes where (real was carried part way by one railway and part by another. Mr. Gillis said railway deficits were caused -by inefficiency and obsolete equipment. Reports show- ed the C.N.R. had a deficit of $730,000 in January. There was something wrong with an outfit that would go that far into debt in one month. It was no use pour- ing more money into it until thelc was a complete overhaul.
