Population Figures

OTTAWA. March 1 — (CP) — Canada‘ entered 1950 with a pop- ulation of ,l3.728.000, an increase of 149.000 in the last six months of 1949, the Bureau of Statistics reported today.

The 1950 population figure was based on a special estimate un- dertaken by the Bureau. It com- pares with an estimate of 13,579.- 000 at July 1, 1949. and 13,519,000 at June 1. 1049.

Special quarterly estimates started by the Bureau in the sec- ond half of 1949 indicate in- creases of 87,000 for the sum- mer months of June-August and 71,000 for the Sepiember—Novem- ber period.

The January 1 figure reflects an estimated growth of 21.000 dur- ing December. ‘

Great Triangular Route

He said he foresaw a great tri- angular trading ,route. Ships would ply 400 miles from Char- lottetown to Seven Islands, 410 miles from Seven Islands to the important paper manufacturing town of Corner Brook on New- foundlsnd’e west coast and another 350 miles back to Charlottetown. "If I ever set to the Senate. 1 think I should immediately begin to study the possibilities of the Chlgnecto Canal." the Premier continued. "When I see that 2,000,- 000 tons of ore are going- be stockpiled in Labrador. read}; for shipment up the St. Lawren e to western Ohio, through the canals, it seems to me the height of fool- ishness. Leaving Seven Islands a boat could sail down to Bale Verte and into Portland Just as quick as she could reach Montreal. It seems ridiculous to think of tak- ing bit the ore there, because the Bethelehem Steel Company has established a big plant not very far from Philadelphia. Why doesn't the ore go down the Atlantic coast instead of going down the St. Lawrence’!

"What right have they to build

locks at our expense? If the bridge goes over the Strait of Canso, there is no reason why Sydney could not become a great steel emporium. And we are in the centre of all this, living in one of the most favorable positions of the whole continent. "If my hon. friend ever comes into office. I hope he will heed these Words, that the Gulf of St. Lawrence is a great. potential mar- ket for Prince Edward island. which is the only Maritime Prov- inco producing s. surplus of farm products."

Trade vile "Bsklrnc"

As the Throne Speech indicat- ed. Prince Edward Island was try- lng to revive the once large schooner-carried trade with the Newfoundland outporis. The motor vessel Eskimo had been purchased for ‘$75,000 last year by the Indus- trial Corporation. a Provincial Gov- ernment company. to carry on this

g trade.

The outports found that they could get goods much cheaper this way than through water shipments from Halifax or North Sydney. N. S., to St. John’: where they were re-shipped. C‘- ' tietown was closer and should become a re- routlnr centre instead of those two ports with the some eubventions granted them to make freight mics lower.. -

Despite Opposition criticism that the Newfoundland venture appur- ed to be I losini out there was little indication of that. the -Premier said. The loss. if any. would not be lrsst because the Federal Government would help

out with a. bold: "if requested.‘ "I think b‘ time has come when charlottstolm should get favours the ‘Is Initial: and

." goods in large volume thfough to those outports," he said, .

DI’I,l'sIre <

He referred to the numerous

Newfoundland communities which depend very llrgely on Isles of eodfish.-Today there is little de- mand for salt fish. More than one-third of the Newfoundland pro- duct goes out in the form of froz- en fillete. This means Establish- ment of filleting plants with re- frigerator cara on railway lines in close proximity. , He had been impressed by the change in fishery requirements by salesmen from the United totes who had visited here, who had as- eured him they could handle all the fish caught west,of the St. Lawrence in fresh or filleted form. He had had to change his own views after conversing with them.

"The leader of the Opposition says he is opposed to draggers. Why doesn't he stop to think? I am not declaring myself in favor of them; it is not Government poi- lcy. but there is no harm in try- ing out one or two." -

He lnstanced what was being done in New Brunswick, where they fish for five and one-half months and last year brought in an average catch of 800,000 pounds for each dragger. Each fisherman received between $3.000 and 84.000. and the captain twice as much. As a result, fishermen on the New Brunswick coast are better off to- day than the lumbermen.

Start In King's County

The Dominion Government is willing to bonus fishermen in this connection. provided the Pro- vincial Government assisis. Ap- parently they would like to see the system worked out in this Province. The start should be made in Kings County. the Pre- mier believed. where the har- bours are open longer. and opera- tions might be continued for nine or ten months of the year.

The setup should be in deep water. at places where there is railway communication and where labour can be procured. In Mass- achusetts and elsewhere there is a good deal of labor trouble to- day, and the absence of such trouble here is a strong induce- ment to the industry.

‘Things are perfect in this Province for a setup of this kind." the Premier said. “If something is not done, what are we going to do? Where would the inshore fishermen fit in?"

Dragger catches come in fresh and are of high quality. he added. A 50 ft. dragger could slip through the gut of Canso and into the At- lantic. He had inquired as to the chances of over-fishing in the Gulf, and had been assured that s hundred draggers would not make any impression on this huge fish- ery raource.

The Government had sought ad- vice from the representative men comprising the Fisherme,-n's Loan Board. and the question was be- ing studied from every angle with s view to forming a sound policy of fishery development.

socialist Trends

Dealing briefly with Socialism. the Premier quoted a warning sounded by the president emeritus of the Co-operative League of the United States. to the effect that socialistlc experiments constituted a definite menace to the co-opera- tive movement.

"I wouldn't say that Co-opers- lives in Canada have been des- troyed by sociaiisiic experiments." Premier Jones added: “but they should keep close to their co- operative functions as much as they can. We with every success to the co-operative movement. but we don't want to see them try to turn it into governmental action. which is Socialism."

He also quoted from an srticle by Louis Bromflsld. who main- tained that “no good farmer wants subsidies or floor prices, only the single crop man."

“I wonder if in this Province some of our farmers who do not love the land too much are not trying to use it on a single crop basis. and getting into trouble about every third year. and then looked to the Government for help." the Premier said.

"Before I consider going to the Senate — if I should be invited to do so —- I wish to hand out some warning to this House. not to follow the advice of people who go in 'for this single crop system, because they are not the people who love their farms and make forming a. way of life; they are the ‘people who are-going to mine their farms, cash in and go elsewhere in many cases." He went on to say that a pro- possl of assistance from the Fed- ersl Government in establishing one or two fish meal plants in the Province was being consider- ed. The contribution: would be on s three-way basis. with the op- erators paying one-third of the construction cost.

Mt. Pleasant Airport

He said the Government had acquired the Mount Pleasant air- port, as they were afrsm that some parties from outside the Pro- vince would scquire the equip- ment snd take‘ it away. After two local groups who were inter- ested in the purchase had with- drawn. a third-group made an of- gsve. in- structions to buy. "We are tak- ing it over this afternoon and it becolnu the property of the Pro- vince.“ ‘he’ said. It is expected that the local company now be- ing formed will wreck most of the buildings. retaining two hang- ers. one for the Government at s norninel out of 36.840 and one for Curran and Briggs. summer- slde. at the same price. The other buildings which have not been sold are allotted to the sir force at Stllnmerside. That will leave the Government stillin possession of the land of some 110 acres. run- ways. fences and other fsciuties.

The road running through the airport. re-routed when it was built. will be replaced. ~ .__x

The Prender expected the equipment would be resold to the local company within the next few days.

Kenslngion Inge Grounds

The purchase some yearn ago of the Kensington rifle range. near flu Exhibition grounds, was also referred ,to. This land of over l00 acres was acquired for “.500. The dump was filled in and oth- er improvements made. One portion of this land. of four or five acres, has been sold for a factory site? It is also intended to put up a new Government garage there, using a converted hanger from Maple Hills. An- other offer for three or four acres for a fertilizer plant had been received. It is expected to have a railway siding running out where the City dump now stands. where a considerable quantity of land has been acquired.

These provisions. the Premier believed, would take care of devel- opment in the city for some time. “If I had not moved to buy that area when I did. it would now be covered with little houses. and it would be a most undesirable alt- ustion."

When the horse barns at the Exhibition grounds are removed in September. the railway track can be moved in fifty or sixty feet. A considerable amount of soil for filling purposes will be obtained from the centre of the Exhibition grounds.

The Premier reviewed the five year expansion programme of the Exhibition Association. financed with Federal and Provincial assist- ance, as given recently in The Guardian.

“I think that is a good deal." he added. "because Old Home Week is 3 regular feature in this Prov- ince. As long as people are of the nature they are. they will so on betting, and we can always get a tax off that.

“One of the reasons for holding the hanger at Mt. Pleasant is that it also might be brought here and placed on the Exhibition grounds and made into a. big building where exhibits could be held at any sea- son. It. might even be turned into a rink in winter time."
