the Government wanted to lend ;money why didn't they lend it to lsome firm in some other part of the Province for something other than fish."

In regard to vegetables. Mr. Rosslter said the Island can pro- duce just as good carrots as any grown in Texas, California or any other place. He said these carrots could be washed and dried and taken to the overnment cold storage plant where the whole- salers would draw on them at any time. The same thing he said was true of cabbage. "Why is it we see so much saeur kraut on the shelves of our stores. We can grow just as good cabbage as they do in the Valley.

"If the Department is doing its job as it is supposed to do there would be no need of this resolut- ion. It is not I question of selling the product it is I matter of sell- lng the idea of the Island."

I believe that there is I place for I real economist. What we need is I person who has faith in the Island and who will per-

have money that it is I worth- while thlng to invest in Island in- dustry rather than in some wild- cat gold mine. But let us do It in the most direct way we know how." said Mr. Maclfinnon.

"We have an Industrial develop- ment board under the capable chairmanship of the Minister of Agriculture and one of ltsfunct-. ions is to prevent men from go- ing into some enterprise which is not financially sound." he said.

Mr. Plosslterz "Was it economi- cally sound to establish the sec- ond plant aty Souris which has not turned I wheel since it was built."

Mr. N'acI(innon: "That remains to be seen. But at the time the loan was made there was every reason to believe it was I good thin."

R. R. Bell: "What about George- town?” c SHOULD BE NO OBJECTION.

Mr. MacKlnnon: "When the first plant was built it was hand. ling only the fish of outside ports. ” Surely no one would object to our buildlng a plant to look after our own fisherman. If there is a man there who thinks we were not right let ,him get on his feet and say

Mr. Bell : "They are going to ship herring from Tlgnish tot So r "

Mr. MacKinnon: "When it is shown to be feasible to establish la plant in the West end of the llsland then the Government will be only too willing to do so."

Mr. Rossiter: "What fishing background has your director of fisheries got?”

Mr. MacKInnon: "He has al- ways been connccted with the in- dustry and he is considered one tlle best authorities in the Mari- mes."

Mr. Rosslter: "I know him but I do not know where he got his training."

Mr. Maclfinnon referred to the closing down of the mines in Syd- ,liey. He said the hu I essmen of lsydney dug down in their pockets ynnd put a thousand dollars on the line so that the industry was sav- ed for the people.

easy to get things started. He re- called that I year ago a group of men came to him asking if they could get the power line ex- tended so they could start a fish drying plant in Georgetown. He interviewed the Premier and about three weeks later the line was there. But for some reason or oiiher the plant was never start- e . ing could be carried 0 Georgetown or Murray Harbour.

Mr. S. S. Hessian said the fish- ermen of Georgetown used to have a fine freezing plant but it had gone into disuse. He had ask- ed the Department to come to the rescue of the fishermen but to date nothing has been done.

BAIT FROM TIGNISH

He said the fishermen at pre- sent have to get bait from Tig- nish and by the time they have it a day or two it rots and is of no use. He said there were two large factories ln.Georgetown that were in danger of closing if some- thing was not done. Mr. Hessian- sald a mattcr of 52.000 would set- lie the whole thing.

"we don't have to go off the Island to do something for our people on the lsland," said Mr Hessian. "all they have to do is back up the people of George- town."

The speaker said the liquor store at Cardigan was one of the greatest curses that ever hit the Province. "And no one knows it better than I do", he added.
