OTTAWA. Dec. 29 -(GP) - rrade Minister Howe today fore- cast another prosperous year for Cnnada in 1953, marked by the heaviest flow of arms from Canad- ian factories in peacetime history.

Defence factories. he predicted. will remain in business and turn nut. big supplies of arms even after the current three-year 55,000,000,- 300 defence program terminates ui March, 1954.

In a 5,000-word year-end state- ment. Mr. Howe. who is minister of trade as well as defence production, summed up Canada's 1952 industri- al achievements and said that in- comes and employment may in- crease next year.

He estimated that in 1952, Can- M111:

1. Exported it record 34.250.000.- 000 worth of goods, up from the )1)sl;gili0U5 high of 53.003.000.000 in

2. Had a peak labor income of about 510.750.000.000. 11 biilion-dol- iar boost from 50.040.000.000 in 1951. This "high" purchasing power would provide an element of strength ,to consumer spending and to the economy as a whole in the new year.

3. Had a total record capital in- vcstment program of 35.200.000.000 for defence installations, develop- ment of strategic resources and civilian industry. This compared with the previous high of 34.600.- 000000 in 1951.

"The Canadian people as a whole." said Mr. Howe. "have con- Iinued in 1952 to enjoy a condition of prosperity marked by strong ex- port demand for staple products. substantial investment in defence and resource development projects. generally favorable conditions as regards employment and income and f0iiOW1ll3'1hO”Qile!lOIlflla' sal- vage of wheat. left unhorvested last lllnt-er. by the production of a rec- ord grain crop.”

Fish Had-Reen lhoughi Exiincl 50 Million Years

DURBAN. South Africa. Dec. 29 -(Reuters)-A scientist radioed tonight that a mysterious creature caught off the Madagascar coast is a genuine coelacanth, a fish once thought to have been extinct for 60,000,000 years.

.1. B. L. smith sent. the message from the plane on which he is fly-

ing back to Durban from the Comoro Islands. l-le said he was "elated" with the results of his

examination on the little isle of Dzaoudzi, where the specimen was caught.

The creature is about the size and weight of a small man, with fins shaped like crude arms and legs. The coelacanth is suspected to be the "missing link" between the stage when evolutionists say or- ganisms crawled out of the sea and began living on land.

The specimen was caught off the Comoro Islands. between Africa and the Island of Madagascar. Prof. Smith, an lchthyologist from Rhodes University, made the hur- creature before it could rot.

First Caught 14 Years Ago

It wasn't until 14 years ago that the first coelacanth was caught. off South Africa. and it deterior- ated before scientists could got :1 good look at it. The new specimen was partially preserved in formalin. the only suitable chemical available on the island.

The first one caught off Madn- gascar in the same vicinity. and at the same time of year as the new one, was a weird monster weighing 127 pounds. Steel blue and about five feet long, it died three hours

after amazed trawler fishermen brought it ,iishore. It decayed rapidly.

Both the landed quantity and landed value of fish on Prince Ed- ward Island show an increase for the year 1952. reports Mr. J.J. Lar- rabee, supervisor for the Federal Department of Fisheries.

Cod shows a small decrease of 9.461 hundredweight in quantity landed with a decrease in landed value of 35,355, while haddock has an increase of 9,103 hundredwcight. with an increase in landed value of 942.478. l-lake has an increase of 23.070 hundredwelshi: and an in- crease in value of 351.311. Plalce shows an increase of 8,841 hundred- weight and an increase in value of s3o,937. These increases are due to trawlers operating out of souria and the new processing plant loc- ated in sourls.

Lobsters, which are our most im- portant fishery and account for about half the value of the fisher- ies on Prince Edward Island. show an increase in quantity landed of 1.170 hiindredweight with an in- crease in tended value of 8147.076.

Oysters show an increase of 11.- 522 liundredwciglit and 539,096 which is also encouraging and in-l dicates a good profit to those on-r gaged in the industry.

Irish moss shows an increase of 30,378 liundredweiglit in catch and an increase in value of 336,969. This has been the best year for Irish moss collection on Prince Edward Island.
