COMMITTEE OF THE CA8IN- ET RAS MATTER IN CHARGE Tonnage Secured For Grain Con- tracts Placed in Canada British Authorities Doing Everything Possible The transportation of Canada's great grain cropto the British market, owing to the scarcity of ocean ton - age, Is one of the biggest problems confronting the government- Willie in England Sir Robert Borden im- pressed upon the British authorities the importance to Canada of an ade- quate supply of ocean freighters for this purpose, On his return this mat- ter was planed in charge of a com- mittee of the Cabinet composed of Hon. Robert Rogers, chairman, and Sir George Foster, Hon. Dr, Reid, Ben. Martin Burrell a d Hon.Art ur Meigbeit. This oon utittee has been successful in providing tonnage for all contracts for grain placed in Can- ada. Hon. Robert Rogers recently made- public the result of the com- mittee's efforts.

"In addition to the above ships a fleet for the transportation of horses, hay, etc., has been provided, seven of such remount transports having sail- ed from Montreal within the past two weeks. These ships carry also pro- ducts of Canadian farms. Doing Everything Possible STORAGE FACILITIES FOR GRAIN CROP GREATLY INCREASED Since the present` Government toot office the development of govern- ment-owned and operated grata stor- age facilities has been little short of marvellous. In 1911 there was not a government-owned terminal or inter- ior storage elevator 'in Western Can- ada and only a very small capacity provided in the east, in Eastern Can- ada in 1911 the Government elevators were: Port Colborne...1.000,.000 bushels St, John. -.., 500,000 Halifax ,,..,. 600,000 Montreal .......1,000,000 " This made provision for storage for the western crop by the Federal Government of only 3,000,000 bushels. Now there is a storage capacity of 22,500,000 distributed as follows; Port Arthur.. -..3,250,000 bushels Saskatoon 3 500,000 Moose Jaw.. ,., ,3,500,0(10 Calgary ........2,500,000 Vancouver . ,,..1,250,000 Port Colborne...2,000,000 Halifax . - .. 500,000 Montreal .......5,000,000 Quebec 1,000,000 The storage has been increased in four years from 3,000,000 to 22,600,000. [n addition to these provided arrange- ments have been made to erect a Government elevator at Pork Nelson as soon as the Hudson's Bay Railway Is completed. .. " N e HON. MARTIN BURRELL HELPING TO BOOST LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY Endeavoring to Open up a Canned Meat Market Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has been doing an in- estimable service to the farmers and live stock producers of Canada in his endeavors to arrange for the sale of Canadian canned goods and dres- sed meats to the British authoritie , The high ocean rates have demoral- ized the ordinary shipment of live stock on the hoof to En,Kland while the American market despite the fact that there are now no duties has been poor. Mr; Burrell''s efforts, if they are successful, will et this criti- cal time prove a great stimulus td this industry. Through the efforts of Mr, Burrell an offer has already beagle wade to the British War Office for Canada's output of canned ..goods. A conference was held in Ottawa this week between the Minister and the packers when the question of the sale of frozen meat was thoroughly dis- cussed. As it has been impossible to secure an outlet through the shipment of live cattle to Great Britain, the move to secure sale for the surplus product as frozen beef has received general support. .As has already been an- nounced, the Minister, through Sir George Perley, the acting High Com- missioner, has learned that the Brit - [ah War Office would consider ten- ders from Canada, and Mr. Burrell is accordingly making strong represen- tations to the Imperial Government with the view of obtaining a satis- factory outlet for our available sup- plies. W111 Improve Conditions Tire packers in conference are de- termining upon what basis of oper- ation tenders may be presented, and it is expected that the offer will be made subject to delivery at the Can- adian port, where the meat may be loaded on refrigerator steamers. This would relieve the trade of the worries and anxieties of transportation risks and charges and would, it is believed, impart confidence to Lite business which might develop as a result of these negotiations. If, as is hoped, a contract is secured for Canada an outlet will be provided. for our surplus cattle, and at the same time it should serve to establish business. relations with the Mother. Country and our allies, which will fully justify steadily increased pro- duction of high class castle in this country. "With regard to provisions for the general commercial trade, the Im• perial authorities have, subject t military.- necessity, been pre;ared to do everything possible. In the first place t]iey have, during- the, pas two months, refrained from requisitioning' any shipson the Canadian route, tak- ing all the new ships required from other routes, so that the increases made in tis; I-nperial transeort ser- vice to Ca„ da, are net add'tions to the trarnprseation facilities for (la!-, adian l;rodzcts, Further, the .Im-. r .ai Government, when possible, is releas- ing, temporarily at` least, Canadian. Liners already requisitioned. "The Mount Temple of the C.P.R. line will in this way re-enter the commercial trade during the present week. Advices have also been re- eeived that the Kawack, Heligoland s,nd Bareniels, ships.not previously In the Canadian . service, ate being re - teased to enter this service amme diateiy, Military necessity must govern every movement `made, and it will be obvious that. .plans cannot be made publicbut P the Imperial 1 ainthori- ties will assistas far as possible, and the matter is receiving; the continu- ous attention of the committee of the Canadian Government." t=•eight Rates Are High gh Since this announcement many other ships have been released by the Admiralty rniralt for the .0 anadian trade, So tar there has' been no shortage for ocean tonnage toprovide for contract 'exportsl, nor is it expected that there will be any shortage. Ocean freight rates are enormous. The committee has daily cables re- garding rates from ails ,tine , important. grain ports of the wOrldlliThe • Can-: adian and American :rates` are the. satire. Charges:'train +Montreal, Port land, Boston, New:'''F,ork and Balti- more to Liverpool and London show no discrimination in ocean rates against" the Canadian port.
