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\ 3 3 Fs $ ‘og other areas in the South, in- began for the first time week in more than a score of and was to ers. In none of them was there any 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.

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 now and not later try.

Most vletims are older persons who comfortably with th disease toe years. Before the advent of our mod- ern anti-leukemia drugs, the majority with acute leukemia died within six to eight weeks after the disease was diag- nosed.

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.

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.

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.
