RALIFAX. Dec. 23—(CP)-0or- don B. Isnor. Liberal member of Parliament for this riding, said here today he had information that gave him reason to believe double the present quantity of grain could be nloved through Halifax for Bri- (sin.

In fact, he said, be had_aent a cable to Rt. Ron. Anthony Eden. deputy leader of the British opposi- tion and fellow officer of the Em- pire Parliamentary Association.

His cable to Mr. Eden said: "No difficulty, to getting Canadian wheat moved if John Btrachey ‘will urge shipments vie year round port e! Halifax.”

Mr. _Isnor referred to a London report that quoted Hod MfniltI Strachey es blaming lack of ship-

ng hcilltiaa for the fact that an

ufflcient amount of grain was being moved fl-om Canada.

"From information given me," Mr. Isnor declared, "1 have every season to beiim that if 1h. Utrecht’! were to press the matter, I feel that double the present quantity being moved through Halifax could be handled without any congestion."

TRAIN DELAYED - Saturday night's second Bordon-Charlotte- town trein, due in the City u: 10.45, did not arrive until 830 Sunday morning. The main cause of the almost-ien-hours delay is said to have originated on the mainland where the Boston and Montreal trains were seeveral hours late in reaching Sackvillc.

catch had not been complied. un-| revised estimates on the coastal corrnmercial catch compiled by the department of fisheries indicated a‘ lmnp in value of about 84000000111 the first nine usontha of the year. The estimate to the end of Septem- ber was $46,700,000, against $41.- 900,000 in the same time last year. Improved prices brought about the higher returns, for the depart- ment calculated the actual weight of the catch had dropped off, fall- ing to 912.000!!!) for the first nine months of 11113 year from 924,000,- 000-also an estimate-for the same time in 1945. Heavy decreases in the British Columbia herring and salmon runs accounted wholly for the drop. since the other coast- al provinces were up. Exzport trade in fish also showed a considerable increase,_ rising from $60.000.000 in the first nine months of 1945 to $63,100,000 in the cones- ponding months this year, This in- clpded both coastal and inland iLsh.

Bcgord Year

The lumber industry enjoyed the greatest year in the nation's history and estimates st the year's close were for.a out of Just about 5,000- 000.000 boa-rd feet. This would be about 100000.000 up from last year's total. which also is still sh estlim? ate.

The breakdown-mil eatimated- shows 4,530,000,000 board feet as the 1946 softwood cut. against 4.- 495.000.1300 for 1945, and in hard- wood 420.000,000 ' against 406,- 000,000. _ ' o Paper production was well up, the 10-month total of 3.Q1.l37 tons showing s. 2d per cent jump over the same period of .1946. Employment in the woods was slightly higher titan in 1945, though in December there was still a shortage of about 10.000 man. 8,- 000 of which were needed in Ontar- lo.

Canada's mining industry had a big year and, on the basis o! avail- able figures for the first eight months, appeared on the way to ox- oeedlirvr the $S14.S2'2.000 figure for tho value of the 1945 output.

Coal production showed a jump of around 800.000 tcn in tihe first eight months, awhile the output of gold. silver. lead and some other minerals also was up considerably. Among the major minerals, copper. IX all aha were down.

WASHIINGMN. Doc. 23-411?) -Coat1y blunders of the first two years of the war against Japan are recounted along with notable victories of the last two years in a detailed summary released Sat- urday by the United States Navy.

The volume. “The Campaigns of the Pacific War," is based on "ultra-secret" Japanese battle plans and other captured docu- ments, as well as American corn- bot records. The report traces campaign by campaign the long sea road from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay.

Pearl Harbor-

If dis- covered before Dec. 5, the Jap- anese carriers had orders to turn back. No follow up of the raid was made since its only purpose was to destroy the capital ship strength oi the United States, and the Japanese accurately esti- mated the damage done.

Midway- Ttie success of the Japanese expansion, plus the American raid on Tokyo, were both reasons for seizing additional defence bases such as Midway, the Japanese said. Inter they considered this fur- ther graib a “fundamental err ." American naval officers said Md- way was “penhaps the decisive battle of We war."

The Japanese landings were made right after the Midway de- feat. but United States scarab planes did not learn Kiska and Attti were being occupied until four days after the start of the landings. After ‘l4 months of Un- ited States bombing _ihe “disap- pointing total" of less than seven per cent of the Japanese garri- son had been kiiderl by the air raids.

The Japanese evacuated 5.100 troops from Kiska in 46 minutes one afternoon following the Am- erican seinurc of Attu. Some 25 days later 34,000 American and Canadian troops attacked the de- serted island after weeks of air and surface borrbardment.
