Fisheries News Bulletin) of the mammals’ xepacity and the in- Jury they may do to the fisheries. It is because these sea lions are a threat to the fisheries, especially the valuable salmon fishery, that the Givenchy is sent to the Pearl and Virgin rookeries every year to carry on a hunt for n few days and thus to keep the herds within something like reasonable limits. Although weather conditions were favorable during this y'car’s hunt, at the mid- dle of June, and more landings could be made at the rookeries than ever before, the number of lions destroyed was smaller than in 1932, or 923 as compared with about 1,- I00.

It would be interesting to trace the relationship between the sea lions of the Pacific coast and the sea-cows which in early settlement days formed one of the chief fish- eries of the Maritime Provinces. Both animals doubtless belonged to the species of rhytina, or walrus. Cartier, in describing his visit to the Magdalen Islands in i534, speaks of finding “many great beasts, like huge oxen, with teeth (tusks) like on elephant, that go in the sea." 1n 1764, under British occupation, the Lords of Trade at London recom- mended, among other measures for the promotion of fisheries in Prince Edward Island, "proper accommod- ation for the fishing of sea-cows," which, they understood, "abounded- on some parts of the coast."

‘It is also interesting to note that the first known legislative enact-

“"The sea cow fishery," writes the late Judge Wnrburton in his history of Prince Edward Island, “was of fnuch importance, and in these ggrly days there was much corres- pondence and legislation affecting it.

T. Vaughan, perhaps none need be idler al- ‘Richmond, Virginia, states that food though if our ports were open, there would be still more activity and enterprise.

In glancing at the past history of our island, with our present exper- ience, we are at once ready to con- demn the action of the Parent Government, in granting away all the broad acres of this beautiful colony to parties, who, whatever

or other substances may affect the ' body in different ways than by head colds, asthma, hay fever, hives and eczema. Thus he has found that headaches which ‘come on from time to time, attacks of diarrhoea, foods that upset or disagree, severe

But by the wording of the g grants, it seems plain that they were made solely or principally for the purpose of inducing emigra- tion. I do not, therefore, think it fair to condemn the Govemment- all that can be said is, that it was a. fatal mistake, and the effect of which lilistake we feel to this day. The some minister who did us in-l nocently this wrong, Lord EgmonLl as far back as the year 1770 sent out a Governor and organized a Council: and soon afterwards, when there were only 150 families in the island, granted us a Legislature, showing his sanguine expectation of our future eminence. Notwithstanding this auspicious commencement, there was little progress made towards the settle- ment of the Island; so that, for more than 50 years, no census ‘was taken nor was there at any, time any great influx of immigrants. Lord Selkirlrs introduction of 800 Highlanders in 1803 seems lobe the most noticeable event for many lyears. In 1827 there were 23.000 people, and in 1861 our population was,80,600; so that in 34 years wc had nearly quadrupled our num- bers. Our revenue had also in- creased proportlonably; but us the

substances into a. slight scratch on I the skin, the substance causing the ‘ trouble may often be found because of the more severe reaction of the scratched skin from this particular substance.

Although this food sensitiveness is responsible for a considerable number of those colds just as itvis responsible for many cases of as-

theless there is still a large number of cases of those head colds that as yet cannot be traced to this cause.

And, as Dr. Vaughan points out, despite the great advances that have recently been made regarding al- lergy or scnsitlveness, the under- lying condition of the body which makes one person sensitive or aller- gic and another nonsensitive or non-allergic has not been really dis- covered. .

In the meantime, if afllicted with frequent head colds, and there is no nose or throat condition present that lnoy be causing it, it would be good sense to experiment with foods and try to find which food or foods seem to bring on the head cold or

With full Dominon status uchlev. ed by its members. many forces are today working towards a re- integration of the British Common- wealth. The Ottawa Economic Con- ference agreements and the recent joint Empire declaration on cur- rency are evidence of the trend. 1t is no accident that Canada recent- ly returned to the London money market after an absence of. twenty years. As the world about us grows more and more nationalstlc, econ- omically, the nations of the Ern- Dire turn towards each other.
