ET HAS MATTER IN CHARGE •Tonna e'Secured-For Grain Gon- g Placed laced in Canada British Authorities Doing Everything - Possible The transportation of Canada's great grain crop to the British market, owing to the scarcity of ocean ton age, is one of the biggest problems confronting the government. While 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 placed in charge of a cone. mitres of the Cabinet composed of Hon. Robert Rogers, chairman, and Sir George Foster, Hon. Dr. Reid, Hon. Martin Burrell and Hon. Arthur Meighen. This committee has been successful in providing tonnage for all contracts for grain placed in Can- ada. Hoe. Robert Rogers recently made public the result of the cone mittee's efforts. Additional Ships "Since Sir Robert Borden's return from London," said Mr Rogers, "the '+ellowing additional ships have been The "Witness" articles on the War Situation are appreciated throughout Canada by the best informed people, for their clearness and sincerity, as well as for their fine spirit, breadth and foresight.

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 iu the east. In Eastern Can- ada•in 1911 the ,Government elevators, wePre: rt 0 ol borne —.1,000,000 bushels: 'Cie..10 St. John . 500,000 • Halifax .. . 500,000 Montreal 1000 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.:....3,500,000 Calgary ..2,500,000 Vancouver .....1,250,000 Port Colborne. „2,000,000 Halifax .... , ... 500,000 Montreal .......5,000,000 Quebec 1000,000 The storage has been increased in four years from 3,000,000 to 22,500,000. In addition to these provided arrange- ments have been made • to erect a Government elevator at Port Nelson as soon as the Hudson's Bay Railway is completed. HON. ROBERT ROGERS added to the Overseas Transport Ser vice plying to Canadian ports: Dune, 1 din, Trankmere, Glenspea i, Polices tria, Horatius; and Marquis Basque hem. This brings the number ol ships in this service up to a total of twenty. These ships are for the transportation of supplies purchased by the Imperial authorities, and 11 is estimated that for the balance ol the season over two-thirds of the cargo space will be filled with Can. adian agricultural products as niueh, as hay, grain and flour, As a resell of representations by the Canadian government, an expert from the wan office is at present in Canada to ar• range for increased purchases of grain and flour and for the transpor tation of the supplies thus purchased "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 "With regard to provisions for tha general commercial trade, the Im perial authorities have, subleot to military necessity, been prepared to do everything possible, In the first place they have, during the pas two months, from requisitioning g any ships on the Canadian route, talc - Mg all the new ships required from re other routes, so thatincases the transport rt thImperial ads in e P m to ser- vice to Canada, are net additions the transportation facilities for Can- adian products. Further, the Imperial Government, when possible, is releas- ing, temporarily at least, Canadian liners already requisitioned. "Tine Mount Temple' of the C.P.R. line will in this way re-enter the commercial trade during, the present week. Adviceshave also been re- ceived that the Kawack, Heligoland and Barenfels, ships not previously in the Canadian' service,' are being re. leased to enter this service Mune. diately. Military necessity must govern every movement made, and it will be obvious that plans cannot be made public, but the Imperial authori ties will assist' as far as possible,' and the matter is receiving the continu ous attention of the committee of the Canadian Government," -' • Freight Rates Are High Since this announcement many other ships have been released by the Admiralty for the Canadian trade, So far there has, been no shortage for ocean tonnage to provide for contract exports, nqr is 19 expected that there will be any 'shortage., Ocean freight, rates are enormous. The committee'. has daily cables re- garding rases from all the important grain ,ports of the world. The Can- adian and American 'rates are the same. Charges from Montreal, Port. land, Boston, New York and Balti- more to Liverpool and London show no discrimination in ocean rates against the Canadian port. HON. MARTIN BURRELL HELPING TO BOOST LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY Endeavoring to Open up a Canned Meat Market pe soar-•cslteerileu Ilett:'Lne"rraaeac, tion that no commission, premise of eomm1seion, contribution or promise therefore, any benefit in any form or manner accrued to anyone in Canada, but on the contrary the idence went to show' that the' transevaction was a simple ordinary business one Spithout intermediaries :of any Bind. Attempts had been Made tn;,.show that the submarines Were not 'modern iad of little value. This was also' xploded by the testimony of experts nd particularly by Admiral Story, ritish commander at Bsquimalt, who estifted that the boats • could ride like' ducks," that they were equal to ,lie best British submarines of the 'pante type and had needed no repair- ing except the ordinary. repairing to any boat in constant. use. The sub- marine commanders and sailors had had; no difficulty with them. Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has been doing an in. estimable service to the farmers and live stook producers of Canada in his endeavors to arrange for the sale of Canadian canned goods and dress sed meats to the British authorities. The high ocean rates have demoral• ized the ordinary s'h1 went of live Meet. on the hoof to England, while the American market despite the fact that there are now npp duties hgtj been poor. Mr. Burrell's efforts, if they are successful, will at this erlti• cal time prove a great stimulus 90 this industry. Through the efforts of Mr. Burrell an offer has already been made to the British War Office for d4tfada's output of canned goods. A �afinference was held in Ottawa this Week between the Minister and the 'packers when the question of the sale bf frozen meat was thoroughly die - bussed. As it has been impossible to secure an outlet through the shipment of live cattle to Great Britain, the. move eo secure sale for the surplus product as frozen beef has received general pupport. As has already been an- llounced, the Minister, through Sir George Perley, the acting High Com• fnissioner, bas learned that the Brit �sh War Office would consider ten- ders from Canada, and Mr. Burrell is Accordingly malting strong represen- tations to the Imperial Government 'with the view of obtaining a sets - factory outlet for our available sup- plies. Will Improve Conditions The packers in conference are de- termining upon what basis of oper- 'tion tenders may be presented, and it is expected that the offer will be }Wade subject to delivery at the Can- gdiau port, where the meat may be loaded on refrigerator steamers. This Would relieve the trade of the worries and anxieties of transportation risks lend charges and would, it is believed, Yfhpart confidence to the 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 Cusiness relations with the Mother ountry •and our allies, which will ully justify steadily increased pro - action of high class cattle in this ',Country. ,SUBMARINE PURCHASE WAS ENTIRELY HONEST COMMISSIONER FINDS WANTED NOW I RCLTA BLl7 SALEM r1:N TO AOT t15AI]N z T NEl UOCOU NTY.- G PAY' WEEKLY.
