OTTAWA,
May
2.
When
adopting
the
annual
report
of
the
Canadian
government
merchant
marine
today,
the
parliamentary
committee
on
railways
and
shipping
canvassed
the
whole
of
the
government's
shipping
activities.
The
suggestion
of
Hon.
H.
H.
Stevens
that
Sir
Henry
Thornton
address
himself
to
the
task
of
reconstructing
the
finances
of
the
Canadian
government
merchant
marine
with
a
view
to
eliminating
the
dead
weight
losses
incurred
year
after
year
met
with
Sir
Henry's
approval.
He
was
already
giving
the
matter
his
consideration,
he
said.
Hon.
C.
A.
Dunning,
minister
of
railways,
asked
if
Mr.
Stevens
would
support
such
a'project
if
it
were
brought
down
by
the
government
next
year
and
Mr.
Stevens
replied
in
the
affirmative.
In
tho
discussion
fin

HUds&h'BaV
route.'
Mr.
Dun
ning
cited
howime
ship
had
Jpaded'
three
million
feet
of
W
lumber
at
Vancouver
and
Jiad
pome
via
the
i'anama
banal
and
discharged
it
at
Fort
Churchill.
An
analysis
of
the
costs
showed
that
it
was
cheaper'
to
transport
lumber
in
that
way
than
to
bring
it
by
rail
from
Vancouver
to
Churchill
even
if
the
rails
had
been
laid.
Sir
Henry
Thornton
said
that
'hq
doubt
one
of
the
difficulties
facing
the
shipping
of
wheat
through
Canadian
ports
was
due
to
the
greater
number
of
vessels
calling
at
New
York
and
other
large
ports.
