Presents Charter‘ To Kensingion lr. Commerce Qhamber

Mr. Philip T. R. Pugsiey (above)

national president of the Cana- dian Junior Chamber of Com- merce, Montreal, last night pre- sented the charter to the recently organized Kenslngton Junior Cham- her of Commerce. The present- ation was‘made at en enjoyable dinner meeting at Larkirfs Restaurant. The Kensington presi- dent, Mr. T. J. Ling, presided, and

received the charter from the National prcsidient. The function was attended by some 100 persons, including members and their wives.—S FISHERIES FEDERATION tConijnucdjm-m Page 1)

bait.

After s. lively discussion of the situation by the members, in which strong exception was taken to the action of the Minister of Fisher- ies, tire following resolution, mov- ed by Mr. John B. Mytrlck, Tig- nish, a director of the Fisheries Council of Canada and member of the East Coast Advisory Commit- tee to the Flshrries Prices Support Board was unanimously adopted.

"This Federation, in special gen- eral nteeilng, appeals to the Fish- eries Prices Support Board to re- consider their refusal to purchase East Coast canned fish, and we s/tgggwt an entirely inc-w pro-

‘ctnmc in this connection, to say:

“All canned fish purchased f0 he lirindled ‘through regular as- serniilers.

“These assemblers to be re-irn- hursed by the Board for alt-purch- ases, as soon as received by them, with pzoper grading certificates.

"All sales made hy assunblers to be credited against goventrnent mrmifs received by than.

"Asc-zmblers would he allowed a profit o-n all‘ sales made by them, hut no profit on purchases made with government money, but not sol-d. They would. however, be re- imthtirsed for out-of-pocket ex- penses whether re-sold or not,

"They would also get the bene- fit of any sales which could be negotiated by the government or timough its assistance.

“Details of prices etc. would have to be carefully worked out.

“This, or a similar scheme would

ll keep the canneries operat- i112:

2t provide a market whereby fishermen can dispose of their fish to advantage;

3) help families of fishermen by employment in canneries;

4i throw the responsibility of seeliing canned fish on the indus- try, instead of on the government:

5) promote the general economy of Prince Eidtward Island, whiph is sadly wanting in industries, snd cannot afford to have esnneries close.

“We recommend that immediate consideration be given this sub- mission and that details be work- ed out wli.h the industry."

Another portion of Mr. Ran- sun's letter was strongly criticised and Mr. Burhoe stated he bo- iieved the Ottawa figures were "astray." It reads:

"fhe Board, in the consideration of the problem, found that the circumstances which prctnpted it to act early in 1948, did not prevail gt the present time. The over-ail income of fishermen for the At- lantic coast region in 1948 was 3i per cent above that of 1047, mil close to the high level of 1946. A year ago, when action was recom- mended, it followed a drop of 33 per cent mover-all fishermen! in- comes from 1946 to 1947."

Mr. Burhoe pointed out that the Fisherman's strike in the firt three months of 1M7 wee the ex- planation of the 31 per cent in- crease in 194B.

Thinks Figures Misleading

Mr Myrlck believed the general figures quoted were misleading. He declared that Island fishermens in- comes averaged some $000 snd not the $2,000 average in Novs. Scotie. "When they lose 8000 in mackerel and another $200 in herring- that's half their income gone," he concluded.

Mr. Patti Gallant, Bouris stated that they vrere not prepared to buy fish for sailing end therefore some of the fishermen would not he able to sell. ‘Th1; was our big put, snd we ere very disappointed for we expected the, government would buy spin," said Mr. Gallant.

“Stireiy, when we ere trying to

merit the democratic wey of life, itis poor policy to show such dictatorial tendencies." declared Mr. TH. Fraser; Murray Her- bour. stating that sll appeals to Ottawa had been ignored. "New is the time. when Xiomlneeg are seeking election, for them to go to

the sells of the mighty end get reconsideration . " Mr. Irsser agreed that the

ststidic; presented were mislead- ing. "No matter whit figures are shown, we can't make people be- litve they are prosperous without

‘ a oept in their pockets."

“Ne Market”

In the pest three years, Europe has been re-estsbiished snd there is now no market as far as fish is concerned, stated Senator James P. Msclntyre, Ssvege Harbour. l-le was told in Ottewe that if the fish wsl bought, "they would have to hsui it to the dump." The Senator ed- vocsted calling a mass meeting with the candidates and sending regal“. tions to Ottawa. He later suggest- ed that the Federation should seek the aid of Premier Jones. ' Mr. Fraser referring to the large subsidy, suggested that "whatever they do with Nove Scotls apples they can do with our fish."

Mr. Jim Cousins, French River said that "they just came to my potato bins end inspected them end measured them and paid me $1,300 for 2,200 bushels. What was the matter with doing the same with the fish?"

Here Mr. Myrlck stated that he was given to believe that there was an "identical policy for Nova Scotla apples and the fish indus-

ry" .

Discussion followvti in which it was stated that the Board had al- ready bouizht 5,000,000 lbs. from the inland fisheries in 1949. To a ques- tion from Senator Maclntyre, it was estimated that it would cost some $350,000 to relieve the Island and the few N. B. counties at the same rate as last year.

"it is not that there is no mar- ket, but no dollars," declared Mr. Gene German. He stated that there were numerous enquiries from non- dollar areas. "Purchases by the Board are only ‘shots in the arm’. and we don't, want them perman- ently, but if the government can buy 2,000,000 lbs of surplus honey and still subsidize the purchase of bees, it should be able to help the. fish industry," he stated.

A Serious Blnw

Fiather E-ric Robins, North R/us- tiw, stated that the board's ac- tion Iwas a serious blow to the fishermen and laborers in North Rustico. Many in the 115 families were veterans, and would have no vrotrk this summer. He believed the Provincial Govenrtnent, should lake the matter up and that the

candidates for election should be approached.

Further discuzrsion included stmn-g criticism of the Federal

governncnt for ignoring the min- ority group and catering to large companies in a “war between east and west fisheries."

“Does a return to normal mean a return to depression?" asked Mr. Fraser. "Maybe if there was no esstem canned fish, it would fa- vor the B.C. salmon market."

The committee which drmv up the rmoiufion consisted of Mt!‘- Myrick, W.E. Agnew, TH. Fraser, Jim Burden and Gene German.

The distribution of the resolu- ttion includes Fisheries Prices Sup- port Board; Executive Council of the Province; all candidates for the coming election. The executive was asked to interview Prime Min- ister St. Laurent on his visit to the Island.

Mr. Gene German made an sp- peel for all individual fishermen to write personally to the Board as the most effective wau’ '° 511i’!- pluncnt the Fdratinns action.
