AFTERNOON sasstorv

President J. A. Clark presided at the noon luncheon which was large- ly attended. a

Introducing the guest speaker. Hon. R. C. Matthews, president of the Canadian Chamber of Com-

merce, Mayor Turner paid spacial ‘

tribute to Mr. Matthews’ enthusiasm

for cricket. MR. MATTHEWS’ ADDRESS Hon. lvlr. Matthews referred

pleasantly to his association with cricket and regretted that 1n Can- ada. generally the game has gone down. There was, however, evid- ence that it is being revived. He

Qscrlbecl how he had selected a

youthful Canadian cricket team and _

taken them over to England play- ing against Eton, Harrow and Rugby Colleges and other well- lmow-n teams in London and else- where. The Canadian team distin- Kulshed itself and was very hospit- ably entertained, the functions in- cluding a reception by the King at Buckingham Palace. Out of four- teen matches played in England titt- Canadlans won sevcn; six gpttncs

were drawn and only one dcicnt vtas i

encountered.

“Confiscatory policies which des- troy the assets of the citizens" of Canada would be exposed and con- demned by the Canadian Chttntbet- of Commerce wherever and when- ever they appeared, Mr. Matthews declared.

The spcaker said it was a func- tion of the Cltztmbcljltltwbt: helpful to those charged with "the 1c- sponslbility 0f government" and "to approve of legislation that con- templates the welfare of the citi- zens of Canada."

The organization was "indepen-

dent. non-political and construc- tive." the president stated, and it would advise with, _and counsel those in authority seeking Canadas good. "But." he continued. “it will not hesitate to condemn measures de- signed to interfere with the rights and liberties of a free and demo- cratic people."

Outlining the purpose and ac- tivities of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the speaker describ- ed it as "The Canadian business man's watch-dog."

It sotmht to protect business from umrlss legislation, increasing of political overhead, imposition o! unjust taxation and toogrset 80V- ernment interference in busineu. he sold. "It is an agent desitfled to make Canadian business hold together: to nuke it l III-NONI force instead of nine rrwlnclsl ones." flrhe Chamber o1 Oolnmdoo was llflh fl the Nib (I 1154401151

l Hon. Mr. Matthews continued: i “The scope of the organization is its wicic as the scope of Canadian t business. There are ntcmbcr firms lin practically every one of Can- ladds industries, including agricul- ,' tut-e, and in every branch of those ‘ industries. “Before the clay of the Can- adian Chamber it was extremely dif- i ficult for the dominion government ; to obtain any coltcrettt idea of the reaction of business as a whole to tony proposed legislation. Today. through national conventions and lltrottgh rcfcrenda and question- naires to its members, the chamber itollvcts nitti fortnulalcs what bus- i iticss is thinking on any such 5 legislation or question of national linportaticc and puts thelrestilt be- fore the government and the na- Lion."

The Canadian Chamber of Com- men-c had consistently tried to raise from the business of the do- ‘Yminiott "one common voice con- ‘coming great common principles and titttlonal economic policies, to secure the considered judgment of Caitadiznt business on Canadian questions. to serve the economic, contmcrclal and social welfare of communities throughout the coun- try." thc president stated.

lion. Mr. Matthews i concluded that the chamber believed the ifunction of buslness-"to provide

for the material nccds of mankind" i -could best be performed "within i the structure of the capitalistic j system as it has grown up in Can- ada."

A cordial vote of thanks to Hon. Mr. Mrittltcws was extended on be- half of the Board of Trade by Pre- l sitlcnt Clatk.

‘ tvm. MCKENNNS narotvr t Completing its second year, the l

re-organirmd Maritime Transporta- tion Commission had been instru- mental in effecting rate adjust- ments for shippers, meaning sav- ings “amounting to thousands of dollars“, Chairman J. D. McKtnna, President of Saint John Board of board session

Trade, told the Maritime meeting at its afternoon yesterday.

The exact. amount of direct sav- lugs made by the three-province commission, could at bcst be only estimated, the speaker said. The organization had performed set- vices for and on behalf of strippers the value of which "cannot be fig- urcd in dollars and cents."

During the time the Maritime Transportation commission had been "allowed to lapse" the three seaside provinces had “lost ground" however, the chairman stated.

He suggested the Miarltlme Board of ‘Irade should be continually “on the watch and prepared to reas- sert the right given the Mnntime Provinces under the Duncan Com- mission".

Mr. Molenna aid that since the

l perceptible increase in railway and water competition. Several fac- tors had contributed to the de- . vclopment, principally improved , highways and trucks and effects. of the depression period from 192B . which had forced strippers to cur- i tail expenses from all angles. The result had been a. large increase in > cotttpetitive rates particularly in Central Canada.

Failure of a proposed appeal to the Board of Railway Commissioners in the Moricton, N.B., "Potato Case" —a test case sponsored by the tum- time conttnission to ascertain if re- duced rates had destroyed adjust- ments under the Freight Rates Act 1 —-would force the Maritime pro-

of the Duncan Commission rccotn- tnendatlon in this rcgard", the speaker stated.

The test application regarding reductions effected on potatoes by the "competitive rate situation in Central Canada", to the Board o! Railway commissioners had been rejected after hearing on the ground that the Maritime Freight Rate Act did not apply to com- petlilve rates and the Maritime ‘ Commission failed to establish pre- ' Judice as a result of the reductions.

Mr. McKenna said that the Board of Railway Commissioners in their judgment dismissing the applica- tion of the transportation body in the "Potato Case" stated that it was a question of fact "exception to rates hereafter may be taken b_v other parties and that it is ncccs- ‘ sary‘ to show to what extent the ' advantages given to the Marltimes were destroyed or prejudiclally af- v footed." .

The chalrmm coittlnued: Im- provcmeitts in motor trucks and i.ti highways had resulted in more con- venient and in some cases, cheap- cr means of distribution of gOOds.

Mr. George E. Graham, vice pre- sident of the Dominion Atlantic Railway, delegate from the Kent- ville Board of Trade and Canadian Contmcrce Chamber representative, spoke briefly. He stressed the value of the tourist business to the Mari- tlmes and urged particularly the intportanoe of courtesy and hos-

tion of all places catering to sum- mer visitors and standardized price lists. He spoke also on the danger of reckless driving, the importance of public health, and of developing littcrest in horticulture. He also suggested that the Maritime Board might consider extension of the tourist season by advancing the date of Labor Day.

Conscqucntly, the motor trttck had bcoonte a serious competitor of the railways within certalrrllmlts. ‘

In order to retain their busincas. ' the railways had been forced to icduco rates and improve and in- troduce services to combat the in- l roads made in their revenues b_v motor carriers. The situation, how- ever, prevalled chiefly in centres of greater population and consump- tlon, Mr. McKenna said. l

Industries located outside the cf- fects of the competition were at greater disadvantage in relation to ‘ industries within. Reductions and conveniences had practically eradi- cated the alleviation afforded Marl- tlme industries under the Marl- tlme Freight Rates Act and the rc- , suit was transportation costs wort.- to e certain extent "on the some _ relationship existing prior to the.’ Act", the chairman beueved.
