"and I am told it is a provincial rather than a Federal responsibility. ln.any case l secur- ed assurance from the Ministry of Transport that it has no intention of making use of the section ten- anted by our veterans or disturb- ing them in any way, Since the Department of Transport has lur- isdiction ever the land and build- ings, this would seem to remove at least one" obstacle." ,

The Premier said his Government views with "seriousness” the' send- trig of vessels here from Montreal, already partially loaded, to curry farm produce from this Province w Newfoundland.

Specifically referring to the "North Coaster," which ulrived in Charlottetown from Montreal on Tuesday, the Premier said the corspany operating the steamer was being subsidized .by the Do- minion Government to carry Is- land produce from Charlottetown to Newfoundland.

He did not know what he could do about it, the Premier said, but he intended to investigate the platter thoroughly today and if the result of the investigation bore out reports handed him that the “North Coaster" was only able to take a small fraction of tile live stock and other farm produce awaiting loading here. he would protest vigorously against the continuance otf such a. practice.

It was learned last night that one shipper who had had a horse stabled in the City awaiting ship- ment to Newfoundland for two weeks prior to the arrival of the "Coaster" was unable to secure transportation on the vessel for the animal. Other reports were to the effect that. several cattle awaiting shipment to Newfound- land could not be taken aboard by the "Coaster" for this passage and that tile Montreal cargo was responsible for the lack of accom- modation for the livestock.
