PORT ELGIN. N. 13., March ‘l- ghanges in administration of the irsheries Act were suggested Sat- urday by Fwd M8866. 111511581"!- director of lred Ma8ee. Ldmlted. Port Eigln, and member of a for- mer provincial government, who testified before the Royal Commis- sion investigating illegal fishing of lobsters and smelts.

"Insofar as I can see the pres- ent. method of guardians under the Fisheries Department. is not working 0.1;, satisfactory and it is my opin- ion that this method should be changed," he said. ‘

"i would like to see the protec- tion eiid of the industry adminis- tered by the Department of Justice through the Royal Canadian lriounted Police, and I also feel that the destruction of gear and punish-

. men: of offenders should be chang-

ed. I would suggest the cancellation of lobster licenses as a more effec- tive method, and let this latter nethod also apply to csnners."

Political Interference

Mr. Magee said he felt the dis- trict inspectors and supervisors were carrying out their duties as well as they could. "Guardians are political appointments,” he added. “They have friends and do not care to be too strict on those friends if they are poachers. Then again there has

been political interference, in that J

should a boat be seized for a fishery violation and an election be in the oiling the boat was returned and no conviction carried out. It would seem that the fisheries have been bedeviled with politics since 1896."

About 2,000 more cases of lobsters were canned iast year than in i935 and reports indicated there was about that much iiieflal canninB in the province. Said the witness $0 iar as he knew his company never handled any illegally cauaht lob- tiers.

Mr. Magee was one of l1 witness- rs heard yesterday. Local sittings were expected to end Tuesday. The commission will then move to Prince Edward Island for hearings at Tigriisli, Aiberton, Suinmerside. charlottetown and probabl Oioary. '

Louis Jacobs. Little Capo. denied rvcr fishing lobsters out of season bu: expressed ‘opinion that not ten per cent of the fishermen in his iistrlct returned berrlrv-l lobsters to the water after catching them. In i928 he had found 23 berricd lob- siers iii n bag of Cl pounds. He ruled Inspector J. U. LcBlniic but the latter was "in no hurry to some down for he hasn't been there yet."

The witness said he knew of three bcrried lobsters being boiled and llie sheds burned in the factory of the Little Cane Fishcrmenfls fs"oci- rtlon He believed inspector Le- Blaiic "is not strict enough and sliould attend to his work more."

Prorogation By Easter Seen As Parliamen- tary Session Enters Home Stretch.

OTTAWA. March ‘l-(Oifi-The pariiamentary session may enter the home stretch this week.

The Budget Debate, likely last maj- or oraiorlcal battle on the House of Commons calendar, will pobably reach its turning point Tuesday with a vote on Oppcsiticn- rfiflder Bennett's amendment asserting the Government has failed to take ei- ectlve measures to end unemploy- merit.

When the amendment is cltspcsed of, iiic debate is expected to be short-lived and althoughthere are a large niunber of tariff items iri- volved in the revised United Kfng- dom agreement, detailed considera- tion of the tariff resolutions may not take more than a day or so.

All parties of the House have had a. short session in mind due t_o the Coronation in May and the Irnper- ial Conference to follow R‘.

MAY CLOSE EASTER

Some political observers say there will be an attohipt to end the ses- sion at Easter. They suggest the Government may agree to curtail legislation in order to speed up pro- rogaiion. Others feel the Etsler prcrcgatlon is too optimistic. but thinl: it will be early in April.

Prinme Minister Mackenre King had an opportunity for an ex- change of views with President Roosevelt in Washington last week. The Prime Minister is spending the weak on the Atlantic" coast to take a rest and consider problems to be discussediit the Imperial Confer- enco.

Although the budget will be the mefn topic in the House this week, the debate may be intcrrurted to- morrow for exwiiuizifon of svme government legislation.‘
