Mayhew Explains FlsherleLPolicy

CHIDIAC, N. 3.. June 8 --(CP) -- fisheries Minister Msyhsw told a political meeting in this North- umberland Strait fishing port to- night that continuation of the Federal price support on east coast canned fish would be little better than a direct form cf "re- lief" _for fishermen.

Mr. Mayhew said "Fishermen want to stand on their own feet and be placed among the great industries of Canada." Federal. purchases of canned fish would not help the industry attain that goal, he said.

Plans under onsideration for aiding the fisheries include pro- grams to increase the stocks of valuable lliedis. marketing in domestic and foreign fields, im- proved inspection and grading procedures, low-cost fishing equip- ment. and improved landing and reifuelilns facilities.

were publicly discussed,

In reference to the spiritual ap- proach io_ Socialism, he brought the 1.000 delegates to their feet cheerlnl with the statement that religion is rooted in national plan- nlng.

"What la national planning.” he asked. "but insistence that human bellies shall make their ethical choices on a national scale?"

Socialism was using economic planning to serve a moral purpose. Its supporters should not bow their heads to crlilcl-"We should raise our heads and look to the stars."

Devon's was the beat-received speech to date at the five-day con- vention. It came after perfunctory applause for a steady stream of l-ank-and-file speakers, moat of whom found fault with the new state industries. They mostly criti- cised the high salaries paid mem- bers of the nationalised industries boards.

At the morning session, Herbert Morrison, Deputy Prime Minister. said the next general election will be “the fllht of our lives if we are going to win."

Morrison, the party's main Itraieglli, said private industry can no longer be allowed to go lust its own way. Private industry or fin- snce which indulged in anti-social conduct would be pulled up “short and sharp."

Ile promised that if Labor re- tains power in the next Parliament more time will be available to de- bate and review the reports of na- tionalised industry.

‘Describe Television As New Industrial Giant

By Forbes Rhude Canadian Press Business Editor ST. ANDREWS-BY-THBGEA. N.

8., June .8 —(0P)—-Televielon was descrlbcdjnday as a great new in- dustrlal giant which will virtually revolutionise Canadian life social- ly and economically.

Seven speakers told of its pro- guess, problems and challenges to two meetings of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, which chairman L.L. Anthes of ‘mronto described as the most important C.M.A. sessions he has attended in more than 40 years. ,

They presented television as the biggest peace-time happening and opportunity since introduction of the motor car in terms cf jobs. wages. increased standards of liv- ing and busy factories.

The manufacturers were also told that it will require co-operai- ion of govcrnlmem. private stations and industry to make a great Can- adian achievement; though there were apparent differences of opin- ion on immediate rocedure.

F. R. Deakins o Montreal (RC. A. Victor) said that based 0n in- dications in the United States, Canada should within a few years require 250.000 television sets an- nually, worth $50,000,000 to $75.- 000,000 annually. As to its effect on other industries, he added:

"It would require 2.200.000 pounds annually in copper and wire con- nectors; 1.000.000 pounds of alurn- inum fabricated in various shapes and sires; 4.000.000 pounds of glass in bulbs; 5.000.000 board feet 0f lumber; also solder, insulating mat- erials and many thousands of hours of skilled labor.
