Blue, white and» slate-grey pigeons circled the popper goof and eaves of the main building. and i500 feet below Pa». iisment hlll promontory, black gaps of otpen water appeared on the ice-covered surface of the Ottawa River.

Members strolled up to the hill from their hotels, their coats un- buttoned for the first time since the opening. At the base of the 15-foot standstone wall below the hrolii Paved stretch in front of ihe tower, thousands of crocus, lnowdrop, and tulip bulbs shoved their white, yellow and red shoots through the black earth, some even piercing the sheet of grey ice in shady spots.

Inside the building, memb-rs hustled around with suitcases and arms full of parcels and bundles. They carried tins of English to- bacco. chocolate Easter eggs end bunnies for their families at heme, pokes of cigars, books and maga- zines.

Some were even spotted carry- ing mysterious cylindrical par- cels heavy in appearance and oc- casionally letting out a mild gurgie. (N. B. None of the P.E.I. members‘ were discovered with parcels of this type in their possession).

Members of the R.C.M.P. guard- ing the buildings had dioffed their fur hats, huge buffalo coats and felt boots and were smart in uni- forms of navy blue with shiny brass buttons, Itetson hats and hunting crops. ~ .

Before n chamber more than half-empty, J. M. MacDonneli, Progressive Conservative member for Muskoka-Ontario continued the debate on the Omnibus Control Bill. His arguments were con- vincinl but were heard by s scant 40 members as many of those who had shown up for the three o'clock opening slipped behind the cur- lain for n smoke or s, game of gin- l-ummy in the lobby.

Books were torn and thrown on the floor. opponents shook hands and smiled. and socialists chinned with capitalists as~ the House broke up for its brief holiday.

Export will: Ruling Off Many Types 0f Fish

OTTAWA, April g ._ P EXPO“ lmnuts will no tellers: be’ ‘WW1 far "Wily types of fish which Caclsdlen exporters desire to H11 abroad. arson Minister Mac- Kinnon announced today.

This relaxation Ln foreign trade “mmls- which becomes effective “Md-lowly. was made Possible in "W d en immoveo Supply situa- tion. and because all canned fish was removed from international al- location by the International Em. c-rsency mod Council 0n March a1.

Mr. Macllllnnon said that “it.

ed grcundfish, including cud pm! Twit"! flwflifll. remains under in- ternational allocation and per. mite will he required for the ex- lmrt of these fish at least until the end of next June.

‘I'M only type of canned fish 8111116"- to permit restrictions will be calmed salmon. export of which ls being controlled to safeguard domestic supplies.

Bemuse of the aboliticn of these foreign nude controls. the Minis- ter added. the only types of dish and fish products which will still require an export permit when shipped abload are cod. fresh (with livers in), dried, salted o; pickled; 0118K. dried. soiled or pickled; grey- fiah or dcgils-h, fresh (with livers in); haddock, dried, salted or piclsiled; hske, fresh (with liver; lm, dried. salted or pickled; fresh or frozen halibut; fish livers; fish meal; pollock, dried, salted 0r pickled; and canned salmon.

economic problems, MI. Bridges said. Government controls are be- ingtaken offthe activltlcsof this industry as they are being taken off‘ all others and it will soon be book in the hands of free .enter- prise as it was before the war. The war mentality has not, how- ever, entirely disappeared. Many groups still continue to rely upon the Government. Perhaps some of those groups are to be found in the fishing industry.

‘film duty of the Government is to establish a "favourable cli- mate" for‘ the fishing indus- try, and management and labour in the fishing industry must work in harmony if pros- perity is going‘ to continue.

' The machinery of the Federal Department of Fisheries is be- ing geared, Mr. Bridges said, for inspection services in the fishery

field with the object of assist- ing both management and the fimermen.

Would Not Comment

Querled last night on wlhether his department was considering any contribution to ‘the recom- mendations mzlde by the P. E. Island Advisory _ Reconstruction Committee recommending the erection of new plants for handn ling, storing. and distributing fish. lvfr. Bridges said such a project "involved other departments be- sides his own and that he would r-oi Cliff‘ to comment on the sub- jrrt. n! prrscnt."

Mr. Bridges was informed the Advisory Reconstruction Commit- tee had also recommended the improvrment of boat harbours and the inspection of ‘break- waters but he said he was unable to comment on those matters since they involved the Provin- cial Department of Reconstruc- tion iand the Dominion Depart- ment of Public Works-

"We have replied that we ahal be happy to receive a delegation from the national ccnventlcm of Newfoundland at a mutually con- venient date." said Mr. St. Laur- mi, “We said ihnt the Canadian Government is.of the opinion that tho questions to be discussed with tho delegation are of such 00m’ plexlty and pf such significance for both countries that it is essen- tial to have a complete Ind 00m- po-elhonelve exchange of information and a full and cmful exploration by both pItlOe of ill the issues in- volved. eo that an accurate app"- clatlms of the position may be gained on each side."

Province when, after being re- quested to do so by Premier Dup- lessis, he had later received an in- vitation from ‘Premier Jones.

Quebec was the only province in Canada which had its own depart- ment of fisheries, Mr. Poullot said. It was, moreover. the only province which had government owned and operated refrigerator and storage plants for the fishing industry. It also had a training school for fishermen which United States fishery periodicals had stated was unique in North America.

His province, Mr. Poullot said. had 4O refrigeratlorfplants, 95 ice houses. 25 inspection plants, and two drying plants all under Gov- ernment ownership and control. Quebec had all the equipment ne- cessary to maintain its present level of fish production but. since it was mainly interested in the fresh and frozen phases of the industry the necessity had now arisen, if the Quebec fishing industry was to continue to prosper for the making of another fish contract with Great Britain. There was, Mar. Poullot said, no other outlet for Quebec's fresh and frozen fish.

To consider the going back to the old prices of n cent or o, cent and a half per pound for fish was unthinkable. In order to lmprow the condition of its fishermen. Quebec was now working an the establishment of an lnternatibllfll fish bureau in London, England.

In the meantime, Mr. Pouliut. assured the delegates, the fishes‘- men of Quebec had nothing but the greatest goodwill 10 U181!‘ brother fishermen in the Marltimea. Canada as the hrisntest jewel In the Imperial Crown had achieved that position by unity within her borders. Such a conference as the present one would do much to make for further understanding and sympathy between the fishing interests from different sections of the country.

In closing Mr. Pbuilot ex-_ tended a hearty invltntlon for tho ' ' behave their next conference in Quebec City.

Mr. H. J. Robichaud. director of fisheries for New Brunswick. told the delegates New Brunswick had landed i8 million dollars worth n! fish in 1946. His province leads all Canada in the production of sardines, Mr. Robichaud said. and has the largest sardine factory in the world. New Brunswick also leads Eastern Canada in ltrpru- duction of smelt: and salmon and its oysters, he said, are not sur- passed by even the famous Mal- pcque c-yster. Mr. Robichaud con- cluded by saying that he did n0! see any reason why both domestic and foreign consumption of East- ern Canada fish couid not be in- creased so long as the quality We! kcpt at a high level.

Dr. Macliliilan

Dr. W. J. P. MBCMlliIIn savd he felt‘ the Hon. Mr, Bruises Wmlld dlo his best to further develop the fishing industry of Canada. it was the second most important indus- try in this Province and he was glad to sec there was such g large attendance at the conference. He had no doubt whatever that ways could be found to "maintain the high level of Eastern Canada fish production.

Mr. C. F. Morrlssey spoke brief- ly congratulating the conference on having Mr. Bridges present. H? knew by experience. Mr. Morrlssey said, that Mr. Bridges was keenly interested in further development of the fishing industry and hoped that his efforts would meet with all possible success.

Before the conclusion of the dinner, thc gathering with tmwh applause accepted the llivitation to have the next year's conference of the East Coast Fisheries in Que- bec City.

During dinner. the deleaflléi were entertained with vocal selec- tions by Charlie Chamberlain who was repeatedly encored.

However. he thought it was add-n: a 11m, foo much of the many tmde commissioners lo ask them to sell a product which, per- haps. was put up in several ways and in several different size con- tel-hers.

Dr. Ernest Hess. l-laillfax, again addressed the conference yesterday. He. I00. emphasized the zl-eed of higher quality in fish products, statinz there was a wide mnge in the quality of the Maritime prod- uct.

In the last threo years grading was oonfrzcd to fancy and choice grades, Dr Hess said. Mackerel fillets had aiiuincd the highest mark of excellence Wof all canned fish graded in the Maritlmee.
