Duff Report On Transportation Tabled In House

Report Deplores “Unwise And Unnecessary Capital Expend- itures” In The Past And Pro- poses Detailed Economies.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 11-—(By The Canadian Plow-The capital of the Canadian National Railways, amounting to $2.669,926,371, should be very heavily written down, but now is not an opportune time f0 do it.

This is one of the outstanding declarations in the report of the Royal Commission which investi- gated Canadais transportation prob. iems. The report was tabled in the House of Commons today. Recent- ly l Partial summary of the report was given out. It recommended nmons other things appointment of a commission oi three to super- vise the Canadian National system instead of the present board of dir- cctors.

“There must be a. otssation of ag- gressive and uncontrolled compet- ition between the Canadian Nat- ional and the Canadian Pacific, the report states.

Duplication of steamship servi- cos on the Pacific coast is con. demncd.

Money has been wasted by the railways in the construction and operation of hotels.

The cost of the Canadian Nat- ional branch line construction e5 compared with the C. P. R. has been excessive. '

Based on the Canadian Pacific Railway costs as a yardstick, op crating costs of the Canadian Nat- ional. are in certain particulars, much higher. than they should be.

"Unwise Expenditures”

While finding no direct political and public pressure in respect to the Canadian National, the com- mission states that in the sphere of policy "political considerations d to unnecessary and unwise cap- ital expenditures." The board of directors and management oi the Canadian National were "amenable to political influence and pressure which it would have been in the public interest to have withstood," say! the commission.
