VISA Shipping Cost Not Peacetine Criterion

CORDOVA, Nov. 23-(P)-The Cordova Chamber of Commerce in a tWo-hour discussion declared the forthcoming hearings on Alas ka freight rates "unWarranted and unjustified."
 The Chamber says they will pre- sent the following arguments at the hearings: One-The War Ship ping Administration is stepping out of bounds in applying for rate hearings for the shipping lines. VISA has said they will soon be returned to private ownership af- ter four years of war operation.
 Two-Hearings are unjustified because neither the VISA or any other agency, or experts can pos sibly determine what the cost will be to the shipping lines under pri- Eate ownership.
 Three-The cost of operation of the lines under VISA in wartime conditions, cannot be considered an accurate index of what the costs will be under private man. agement in peacetime VISA, Chamber officials asserted, has said the lines cost millions to op- crate in wartime and private own ership must have high rates to stay in business.
 Four-To base rate changes on cost of operation figures of the VISA in the last four years would be prepoSterous, officials said VISA operated the vessels of the Alaska lines all over the Pacific, and in one instance even to the Mediterranean under adverse la Dor conditions and in strange shipping lanes and the premium costs were all added to VISA ex- penditures, therefore they should Anot be considered in fixing peace time rates, the Chamber asserted. Chamber members admitted that costs to private ownership prob ably would exceed those of pre- war days, but asserted the people of Alaska should not be penalized by an increase in rates which they contended already were the high est in the world for similar serv- ice.
 The Chamber suggested that government subsidy should be given peacetime operation by pri- vate owners if it should prove operation unfeasible and unprof- itable under current rates.
