    Sees Bright Prospects
    Of interest to all concerned in
    the Atlantic fisheries industry were |
    the remarks of the Hon. H.J. Robi- |
    chaud, federal Minister of Fisher-
    ies, at the opening yesterday in
    Lunenburg of the 27th Nova Scotia
    fisheries exhibition. Mr. Robichand
    dealt, among other things, with the
    growth of dragger and scallop fleets
    in recent times, with the brighten-
    ing prospects in the industry and
    with federal plans for cooperating
    with the provinces in developing

    every phase of its resources.

    He made reference to the big
    processing plants now being plan-
    med for Lunenburg, Canso and
    Georgetown, and predicted that be-
    fore the next Lunenburg exhibition,
    Canada will have implemented the
    establishment of the 12-mile ex-
    clusive fishing zone off its coast-
    lines as announced by Prime Mini:
    ter Pearson last June. But there
    were other matters of prime import-
    ance in the maintenance of Canada’s
    competitive position.

    The minister hoped that in the
    very near future, as a result of a
    meeting he is arranging for early
    bi year with the provinces, a

    Pp! p national
    program for all phases of the indus-
    try can be formulated. To be effec-
    tive, this program must take into
    account the need for resource de-
    velopment, for modernization of
    fishing methods and processing, and
    for the expansion of domestic and
    export markets.

    Prince Edward Island has a big
    stake in this movement, which
    comes at a time when increased
    human populations and improved
    processing techniques are leading
    to a greatly increased demand for
    fish throughout the world.

    Wallace's Last Stand

    By ordering U.S. Defense Sec-
    retary McNamara to take “all ap-
    propriate steps” to enforce school
    desegregation in Alabama, Presi-
    dent Kennedy made it clear that
    the federal court ruling would be en-
    forced at all costs. Mr. McNamara’s
    first step was to take control
    of the state’s national guard away
    from Governor George C. Wallace,
    who had been using these troop
    to prevent the opening of integrated
    schools in four Alabama centres,
    and whose evident purpose was to
    force a showdown with Washington.

    Did Governor Wallace think he
    could win out on this issue? No one
    supposes that for a moment. But
    he is a politician who had commit-
    ted himself to a rigid course of ob-
    struction in the civil rights conflict.
    By forcing the federal authorities to
    intervene—as happened before
    when two Negro students were ad-
    mitted to the state university at
    Tuscaloosa—he can claim now to
    have done everything he could to
    block integration and to be bowing
    only to superior force.

    But there is a new element in
    the situation. Perhaps it is due to
    the success of the great mass dem-
    onstration in Washington recently,
    perhaps to other causes as well;
    but there has been a growing
    resentment in the governor's own
    state at his futile tactics and the
    strife and disorder they were creat-
    ing. One Alabama newspaper,
    whose editor has been a close con-
    fidante of Governor Wallace, said it
    must sorrowfully conclude that, in
    ey anstance, “our friend has gones\

    serious trouble. Yesterday integra-
    tion began in Alabama schools and
    Mississippi now remains the only
    state where no school integration
    has begun below the college level.
    Mississippi is not expected to be
    ‘able to hold out much longer, al-
    though it may wage a bitter-end
    fight.

    Further Protest

    The Federal Government’s re-
    cent announcement regarding areas
    designated for special tax treat-
    ment has raised criticism in other
    Maritime areas besides Prince Ed-
    ward Island. We have been ignored
    altogether, as Premier Shaw and
    Resources Minister Rossiter have
    pointed out; but the governors of
    the Atlantic Provinces Economic
    Council have announced their dis-
    approval in equally strong terms,
    contending that the entire Atlantic
    region should be considered with-
    out piecemeal selection. APEC has
    advanced this contention all along,
    and it held a special executive meet-
    ing in Halifax on Monday to reaf-
    firm its stand.

    The Moncton Transcript makes
    the same point, in an_ editorial in
    which it maintains that as compar-
    ed with the rest of Canada, the
    whole of the Atlantic region is a de-
    pressed area—an area of surplus
    labor and insufficient employment,
    an area lacking sufficient industry,
    up-to-date facilities and many oth-
    er things enjoyed in more fortunate
    parts of the country.

    When first the concept of “des-
    ignated areas” for tax relief was
    announced, it was hoped that it
    would represent a massive attack
    on Atlantic economic problems,
    operating in conjunction with the
    Atlantic Development Board and
    the Municipal Loan Fund. In the
    case of the latter policy, the Atlan-
    tie area will get the short end
    of the stick as the capital of the
    fund will be divided on a per capita
    basis. Similarly, the designation of
    a few scattered Maritime areas for

    preferential tax treatment leaves
    much to be desired.
    It is to be hoped, in view of

    these protests, that the federal au-
    thorities will reconsider the whole
    situation.

    Liberal Criticism

    One thing evident at this week’s
    Ottawa conference on the national
    contributory pensions scheme is that
    there are many kinks in it that will
    have to be ironed out. Quebec ob-
    jects to it on both political and
    economic grounds, and it is still not
    clear how far Ontario is prepared
    to go in integrating its own plan—
    which will begin to operate on Jan.
    1, 1965—with the federal setup.
    But assuming that all or most of
    the provinces decide to co-operate,
    it will still need far more study
    than it has received up to now.

    Automatic Post Office Sorters Next?

    A knowledge of geography
    may be the next victim sacrifi-
    ced to the machine. Soon our
    post office sorters may no long- |

    schoolroom lessons whet

    Gopherville or near Collegetown.
    While as for our provinces, their

    natn abi be hustled into the | ed history and geography and

    This Would be the effect of
    the adoption by Canada of the
    new “efficiency” system of ad-
    dressing mail, using numbers
    instead of place names.

    It seems strange to the lay-

    man that the robots who are |

    gradually taking over our lives |
    in the name of progress are so
    sadly lacking in public relations
    ; that in their streamlining
    of our daily processes to attain
    greater efficiency, they are real-
    ly inefficient. For these robots
    are converting everything to
    numbers; the letters of ite |
    phabet are everywhere bei
    Feplaced by arable numerals,
    WE LOVE OUR NAME

    The sweetest word to every
    human being, no matter what
    language he speaks, is his own |

    name. But the robots turn aside | minute are going to have mixed

    names, e numbers 1n |
    their place. “Johnny Canuck” ts
    becoming just plain “123-456-7.
    “Champlain” and ‘“Montealm’
    have already been eliminated
    from our telephone system; soon
    maybe they will be expelled
    from our street names,

    The next stop could affect our
    mail, The efficient Germans
    (Free, not Red) started the ad-
    dress-by- numbers system. How
    our neighbours across the line,
    ever anxious to bolster their
    reputation for efficiency, have
    adopted it.

    “Use ZIP Code — the last
    word in mail addresses.” This
    exhortation by. the Postmaster

    ie USS. is plastered on every
    mal Veollecting box and posted
    in that coun-

    that some of the nation’s ablest
    actuaries consider the scheme un-
    sound financiaily. Even if some kind
    of agreement can be reached with
    the provinces, Parliament should
    insist on the fullest investigation
    before committing the country to
    such as undertaking. “It would be
    much better,” says the Free Press,
    “to delay a decision for a few
    months than to launch a half-baked
    proposition for the sole purpose of
    meeting a purely political deadline
    next January.”

    Nor can the scheme be studied
    adequately in the House of Com-
    mons were debate is limited and no
    witnesses can be examined. Instead,
    the legislation should be referred
    to a committee of the House which
    can hear the evidence of experts,
    get all the facts and probably sug-
    gest useful amendments.

    “After its budgetary mistakes
    and disappointments,” adds our
    Winnipeg contemporary, “the Gov-
    ernment should have learned that
    in great affairs more haste often
    means less speed, as well as finan-
    cial damage and loss of public con-
    fidence. A program involving bil-
    lions of dollars and the future wel-
    fare of most aged Canadians cannot
    be safely thrown together in a few
    days of parliamentary discussion
    among members who are not equip-
    ped to understand the details.”

    If this is a correct estimate of
    the difficulties ahead, it is per-
    haps just as well that the Govern-
    ment has agreed to implement its

    and new schools in oth-

    P ii $10 old age pension boost

    ZIP Code is “a new nation -
    wide zone system to improve
    your mail delivery.” “It’s an ex-
    tension of the old familiar local
    zone system, insuring faster,

    Whaling Dreams For Sale

    Christian Science Monitor

    Is someone in the market for
    a whaling ship? Not a romantic
    square-rigger of the Moby Dick
    days but one of the largest of
    modern whaling factory ships.
    The Argentine Government,
    through its oil fields agency,
    “YPF," is advertising one for
    sale—or exchange.

    In the exchange proviso is
    something symbolic. Buenos A\
    es will consider offers for pur-
    chase of the ship—with or with-
    out fuel oil—or will consider re-
    linquishing the whaler as part

    payment on construction of two
    ail tankers,

    Thus does petroleum smother
    romance, unless you Âą on sider
    some of the romance of the pe-
    troleum mechanized its own ro-
    mantic age. For although kero-

    sene long ago replaced whale
    oil for lighting (and then largely
    gave way to gasoline for mot-
    ors) there still is enough de-
    mand for whale oil, bone meal,
    and ambergris to ci con-
    cern for the whale Foraiibsioe of

    the world’s oceans, especially
    the Antarctic.
    In time gone by, the New

    England or Norwegian sailor
    need up for what was often a

    three-year voyage in order that
    home-keeping families might sit
    about a lighted lamp. Now-
    adays, oil well drillers or pipe-
    line fayers go to the ends of the
    earth, in desert heat or on off-
    shore platforms—so that Dat
    may take the family on a picnic
    or Mother bring groceries from
    the supermarket.

    The Chicken War ? |

    Globe and Mail, Toronto

    The United States appears to
    be winning its “chicken yer"

    with pean Comm
    Market. German views on. this
    particular question are chang-
    ing. The Federal Government at
    Bonn has sent out feelers to the
    German State Governments ask-
    ing for a special meeting to con-
    sider the U.S. poultry tariff ques-
    tion, This is interpreted as indi-
    cating a reversal soon of the
    previous position taken by Ger-
    man ministers.

    ‘The poultry tariff was a Ger-

    man move to protect, on behalf
    of the German and French poul-
    try indistries, a market for an
    annual $50 million a year worth
    of frozen poultry. It enraged the
    United States partly because its
    poultry indus developed the
    market, but mostly because it
    Fogarded it as a tert case of the
    sincerity of Common M ar ket
    claims to be outward - 100 king

    and liberal in trade matters. The |
    Americans threatened to raise |
    tariffs on $110 million a year |
    worth of Common Market ex-
    ports to the United States,

    If they win their chicken war, |
    therefore, the Americans will
    have successfully used a sledge- |
    hammer to crack a nut, This is
    a nice manoeuvre, requiring
    deftness and precision. But it is
    potentially dangerous, since a
    tit-for-tat tariff war could grow
    out of it, which could prejudice
    the all-important Kennedy round
    of tariff negotiations which is
    to begin next May. Chance or
    Konrad Adenauer, after all, is
    to retire soon and under the in-
    fluence of his successor, Dr.
    Ludwig Erhard, the economic
    philosophy of the Comm on
    Market could swing significant-
    ly to the liberal attitude the
    United States wants.
