Fishery Problems Discussed

The problems and possibilities connected with our second greatest industry, that of fisheries, have been highlighted in the re- ports of the proceedings of the Prince Ed- ward island Fisheries Development Com- mittee this week. This Committee, which is under the chairmanship of Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell, is making extensive, inquiries illto all phases of the industry On; Wednesday much light was thrown on the: in tile cnforcelncnt oi, lobster fishery regulations by Dr. A. W. l-l . Ncedlcr, who worked in conjunction with: local officials and others in preparing his. report. At yesterday's meeting lVir.n lI.' Scott Gordon, 'who is making an economic survey of the whole industry for the Com-E mlttce. presented his preliminary reports, It appears in full ill today”s issue, and! should be studied carefully by all cor.-; cerncd. 1

Mr. Gordolfs figures show that the tota.i landed value of our fisheries has risen; greatly over the past ten years. In ground-' fish and pelagic varieties, the principal drawback to further expansion appears to be a marketing one. The greater potential source of development, however, lies in off- shore fishing and this will necessitate dif- ferent and more expensive equipment that has yet been used in this Province. As a means of improving quality, he suggests that some form of general grading be cs- Iablishccl. While the number of canneries in operation in the Province is today only one-half of what it was during the early

1930's, Mr. Gordon is of the opinion that!

this number is still too large for efficient production.

With regard t.o offshore fishing, he points out that this industry must be bas- ed on the ability of the Island to provide fishery location centres equally good or better than those of the other areas sur- rounding the Gulf. As to major products. canned fish and fresh lobsters, the ques- tion of more direct marketing through a Government sponsored agency, co-oper- alive, or some other method . should be thoroughly explored. It is possible also that returns to fishermen from the minor pro- ducts could be increased by such large scale marketing as might result from pool- ing of supplies.

At the Committee meetings it was strongly emphasized by the chairman that the recommendations were of a tentative nature. This applied particularly to such proposals as that of a continuous uniform lobster season, starting in the fall and run- ning through to July 10, which was dis- cussed in Dr. Needler's report and by the Committee members generally. No decision will be reached until those vitally interest- ed in the change, in the neighboring Prov- inces as well as in this Province, will have had a chance to express their views. In the meantime. the proceedings as publisher; will be followed with much general inter- est, and it is to be hoped will culminate in very substantial benefit to our fishermen and the Island generally.

insuring Against Disaster

Prince Edward Island is the only Prov- ince in which the Red Cross Society have not set up an active Disaster Services Committee. It is hoped to remedy this omission at a meeting called by the P. E. I. Division at the Red Cross headquarters here this evening. The plan is to form a Red Cross Disaster Services Committee on which there will be rzpresentation from the towns and villages throughout the Province. The Committee would co-ordin- ate prpvincial, civic, charitable and service club efforts when necessary in order to avoid duplication and also have the benefit of Red Cross experience from a national level. V

It is hoped that thele will be a large and representative attendance at this Important meeting, which is not only for the purpose of organizing the above men- tioned committee, but also of investigating the feasibility of usinplled Cross adminis- trative machinery to bring assistance to disaster victims.

It will comeuan a surprise to many to learn from testimony before the commit-

I tee on fisheries that closed seasons are not

regarded - as an effective conservation measure by somo',who have made a study

matter will have to be fully investigated, that a better quality of lobster is caught in the spring than in late summer, with consequent price advantage to the indus- try. Therc is also the point that it is best to have our lobsters arrive on the Ameri- can market when demand is high, rather than when large quantities are being sup- plied from more southerly sources.

In any case the whole question de- serves thorough investigation. not over- looking the fact that consumers at home lcherisll the privilege of being able to get lobster through the sclcral open seasom. around the coast.

This country's mounting trade deficit is not necessarily a bad thing. So far as it represents growth and investment at a greater rate than can be financed from internal sources, it is actually desirable. More than that, it simplifies the task of exporters who find less currency difficulty in the way of expanding trade.

The Kinsmen National convention in Halifax was literally, as well as practically, a howling success. The delegates and their friends participating were effectively vocal in their appreciation of the addresses and discussions that took place. The honow of being elected vice-president was bes- towed upon a Charlottetown representa- tive, Mr. A. Walthen Gaudet.

He will also tour aircraft plants in Toronto and Montreal, and will hold brief talks with the cabinet defence committee and the chiefs of staff committee.

The internal trouble in Indjals Con- gress Party is disturbing in view of the strained relations between that country and Pakistan. Mr. Nehru made a genuine contribution to thinking in India, if there is much thinking there, by pointing out that. besides the millions of sacred mon- keys and useless cattle that are fed in In- die, the addition to the human population has been 42 million in the last ten years. Even the most sentimental believer in the theory that every Indmn has a right to expect to be fed by people in other coun- tries must realize that this is going beyond reason. The fact is that. Mr. Nehru now realizes that most of yvhat he talked be- fore he took office was nonsense. He has now decided to retire, to get himself out of the trouble into which he has got him- self.
