To Transport The Crops: Canadian Courier, Toronto. The Dominion will have about two hundred million bushels of grain for If Liverpool will take it ali, is open' to grave doubt, the number of sailings required would be about 900---figuring 250,000 bushels to a steamer. Eight hun- dred sailings would mean more than two boats a day for the next twelve months. ' Equally important is the rate to be charged. If the ocean freight rate is 30 cents a bushel instead of 15 cents, then the farmers of Can: ada will get 15 cents a bushel less for their grain. export this will mean a lpss of thirty millions of dollars, - Canada has spent hundreds of mil: lions of dollars on railways te en- sure cheap freights on export grain. But what does this avail us if the owners of ocean vessels are allowed to increase their rates by fifteen cents a bushel? This is a question which is being canvassed in all quar- ters, and it is one to which the peo- ple will expect a business-like answ- er. The problem is.a difficult one. The control of ocean freight rates can be secured only by co-operation between the British and Canadian Governments. difficult in peace time, and even more difficult in.a period of war. Never- theless it is a question which the Dominion must tackle with vigour and determination. e s Jam." . London 1.
