Rate Change Not
Justified Says OPA
W
JUNEAU, June 10,—“There has
been no data so far offered by
the carriers, the WSA or the OPA
on the basis of which, up to this
time, any substantial change in
rates can be justified.” was a
statement’ made by Donald J.
O’Connor, OPA Price Executive I
for Territories and Possessions -
at the recently held Washington
hearings on the Alaska freight
rate issue.
From April 1943 until March
1946, when he was promoted to
Regional Price Executive of all j
the Territories, Mr. O'Connor was
Alaska Price Executive in charge
of all price matters in the Ter
ritory. It was while in this posi
tion that he instigated the Alaska
OPA’s extensive program to com
bat the threat of a drastic increase
in shipping rates to the Territiry.1
Mr. O’Connor and his staff, in
cluding Mr. George Rogers who
has since been named to succeed
O’Conner as Alaska Price Execu
tive, worked together in prepar
ing the twenty-one exhibits of
statistics and economic analyses
which he, as Regional Price Ex
ecutive, has so forcefully present
ed at the hearings.
Some of the exhibits dealt with
such pertinent factors as: estim
ated 1946 freight traffic figures
as submitted by the Alaska bus
inessmen at OPA's request; civ
ilian and military population
changes; post-war needs of the
Territory for building materials;1
relation of present freight costs
to the final acquisition cost of
representative goods; comparison
of current Seattle and Alaska re
| tail prices; and analyses of ship
ping companies’ balance sheets
and profit and loss statements to
point out fallacies in the premises
upon which they based their
claims for higher rates.
In summarizing OPA’s present- j
ation at the hearings, Mr. O’Con
nor stated in part, “We take the
position that the present rates to
Alaska are already too high in
comparison with those in effect
on somewhat comparable routes, |
that some of them are higher than
what the traffic should bear. . . .j
The OPA also takes the position
that the central and strategic con
sideration of this hearing should
not be rates but a realistic con
sideration of the post-war traf
fic conditions of Alaska traffic,
the number and types of vessels
needed to satisfy Alaska traffic,,
and costs projected from a 1945,
or 1946 base, so far as possible.”,
