Commissioneris Report On

F ishemienis

The report of the public inquiry into flsherrnen's loans in this Prov- ince, from the date of the passing of the Fisherman's Loan Act in April, 1986, to Jan. 16. 1043. cori- rlncted by Judge J. S. DesRoches as 9, Commissioner under the Public Inquiries Act. was tabled in the

Legislature yesterday. The report. ,

which reviews the evidence taken at the hearings during the past year. makes the following specific recom- mendations:

:1) That the practice of careful investigation and proper payees be continued and that the regulations now in force under the Act be care- fully studied. enforced and amended as times and circumstances change.

12) That a more serious effort be made to collect all loans now due or that some arrangement be made to have them brought up to date by collateral security or otherwise deal with these loans in a more business-like manner.

"I believe," says the Commission- er on this point, "that this is the only policy that will be fair to all those fishermen who have paid theirloans. In cases. however. where there was a genuine belief that the loan wins intended as relief, some consideration should be given to the fishermen."

(3) That the Attorney Generals Department deal further with Wat- terworth and those of his assoc- iates against whom the Crown can establish. a case. "All the evidence heard by me together with the ex- hibits produced in evidence before me is afvailalrle to the Department," the report adds.

The Attorney General (l-long F. A. Large). objected to such ad- journment and the case proceeded, the jury bringing in a verdict of

Bui Military Strategy is 7 Anolher Question

WASHINGTON. March 29 - (AP) - President Truman said today the United States still aims for a united Free Korea but he drew a sharp distinction between this political policy and immed- iate military objectives.

At a press conference he en- dorsed all that Defence Secre- iary George Marshall said two days ago on the problem of cross- ing the 38th parallel. in brief. what Marshall told reporters then was that Gen. MacArthur is crossing fihe old Korean dividing line as the securiiy of his forces requires but that any Rene”: sweep of U. N. forces through North Korea is a matter ”for P013- ical consideration."

Trumanl said there has never been any change in ihe U. S.- Uniied Nations policy to liberate. stabilize and unvi-fy all of Korea. But when reporters questioned whether he was implying that

lMncArthur now would undertake to wrest all North Korea from the Chinese and Korean Communists. ihe President said there was no implication of that sort.

Truman said MacArthur's in- sfructions on crossing the 38th papallel are the same as they have always been.

Eskimo Weathers Another Stormy Passage In House

The Crown Corporation ship "Eskimo" encountered another heavy ea in the Legislature yes- terday when ihe question of whether the boat served a useful purpose or had turned out to be "a miserable failure" was debat- ed by Premier Jones and Mr. D. L. Mathieson, 5th Queen's, dur- ing consideratlon of the Esti- mates for the Department of In- dustry and Natural Resources.

Mr. Mat” . opened the -. t v attg:kins,th0 De- -nnrtinorit-,;1nrt.lt,v -ck of-reports and finforrnation, He continued on the Eskimo question. stating that "the Government's venture into Socialism was very blidly handled" and went on to propose a remedy for the condition.

Premier Jones scorned the Op- position for their lack of accur- ate information on the trade question. The Don-ilnlon Govern- ment has subsidized the ports of Halifax and Saint John and stoi- en the trade from Charlottetown. he stated. "The Opposition and the City Board of Trade don't know about it. It is the most damaging thing that has happen- ed to the Province in a long time."

He outlined the purpose for which the Eskimo was purchased -to supply the ouiporis in New- foundland--and stated that the boat could have shown a profit. He also said the trade with New- foundland had advanced by 6095 last year over the year before.

"The boat is to be taken over by good loyal Prince Edward Is- landers.” he announced. "The ser- vice will begin under the new administration on either April 1 or May 1 and the boat will trade out of St. John's to begin with."
