sees Loss

Continued from page 1 them for working both ends against the middle, but we are getting a raw deal. I place the blame on the Government. If they were to fulfil the terms of the contract of 1813. we would not have to come here and plead for mercy or try to place the blame on the Catiaciian National Rail- ways. it isgup to the Govern- ment to give us some redres. Otherwise. they will drive our farmers out of the greatest cashi market they have." .

The Queen's member told the House that in I949-50 there were 16.000 cai-loads of Maritime po- tatoes shipped lo other points in Canada. In the same year when a comparble quantity of potatoes was grown in the Central Prov- inces. only 742 carloads of' po- tatoes were shipped out of On- tario and Quebec on long haul.'

, Act Mislnterpreted

Mr. McLure charged that manyy members of the Commons misin-. terpreted or misunderstood the. Maritime Freight Rates Act. I-lei deplored reference to these rates, as a "subsidy" or a "gift" to the

Mai-itlmes. They were nothing of the kind. The Act. he said. was passed by Parliament to correct

injustices which had been stiffer- ed by the Maritimcs over many

years. On a point system. be con- tinued, the Mat-itimes had bcent

paying 192 prior to passage of that Act. compared to 155 for other parts of Canada. He further ex- pressed the view that there should have been a cut of 3'1 and a half per cent instead of 20 per cent as the result of the Duncan Com-l mi.-:sion's findiiigs. ,

Prince Edward Island. the Queen's member said. had suffer- ed rather than gained as the re- sult of Confederation. The trouble with the Confederation pact. he explained. was that it carried no penalties for non-fulfillment of its terms.

cites Population Decline

"Prince Edward Island. instead of reaping the benefits offered in the contract. began to R0 down- hill." he affirmed. "Our popula- tion dropped rom 113.000 to about 90.000. This was owing to the fact that the agreement as to transportation was never imple- mented according to the terms of union."

Mr. McLure ad-mitteh that as the results of pleas and repre- sentations. rates on the car-ferry had been lowered. They are not yet sufficiently low. and the Province will not. receive justice in this respect until the Strait of Northumberland is treated as a highway, he added. He also complained that the C. N. R. de- prlved Prince Edward Island of its former railway repair shops.

making for unemployment and causing a shortage of skilled labor.

In conclusion. the Queen's mem- ber demanded th-at there be a. halt to mounting freight rates in the Maritimcs. and no equaliza- tion schcme which would ad- versely affect the interests of the coastal provinces.

Angus MaoLean. joint Con- servative member for Queen's said the Maritime producer even with favorable freight is not on an equal basis with a producer in central Canada. The former. he said. has been almost completely
