less Canned Flair Needed

0n the subject. of canned fish. the Deputy Minister said that the normal pro-war market fur east coast canned fish other than sat- dines might be estimated at 100.- 000 to 150,500 cases. During the war, prod-uction of canned herring, mackerel, chicken hactdie and flak- ed fish was cimonded by an ag- gregate of at least 300,000 cases. for which there was no prospect of a market in the normal trad- ing between buyers and- sellers in today's market.

He said this would necessitate a out-back in production of these, products, and. a diversion of raw material to other products for which there is at present _a stronger demand.

He made it clear that the Fish- eries Prices Support Board was bound by the precise limits of iis powers under the act. It could buy or sell the production of s division of the industry. where such action would be the logical course to sustain the income of fishermen.

Alternatively, the Board could make deficiency payments direct to fishermen for the loss of in- ccrne by the disruption of a par- ticular section of the industry.

Mr. Bates said the Board was not empowered to set floor prices, nor to perfonm any of the functions of positive control such u exercis- ed by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board under powers vested in it by Parliament. Every action on the Prices Support Board was subject. to approval of the governor- ln-eounell.

The Board had power to recom- cnend only. and than cam’ Ni fuoh progrecna as may be i deter- mined by the Cabinet. He made l! clear, however, that in the case of canned firm. the Board prepared to purchase up to , . to 150,000 oases of oemned mackerel herring and groundfish. He invited a lull expression of industry as to the effects of sin-n a policy In per- miittl-nig oanners to adjust the“ production this veer on A V"? iTTluC-Tl lower output. l"!
