fiwnmfiieiisheffisfini Fishery Minister's Visit

The Federal Minister of Fisheries, Hon. H. F. G. Bridges, K.C., who is now on a tour of the Maritimes, is due to visit Prince Edward Island this week, and will stay for three days. This will enable him to visit centres in each of our three Counties, and become acquainted at first hand with our fishermen's problems.

Mr. Bridges is to be commended on planning

his Maritime tour in this thorough-going man- ner, and he can be assured of a cordial wel- come in this Province. The portfolio he holds is a very important one so far as Prince Edward Island is concerned, for it deals with our second largest idustry. The Minister does not neod to be reminded that for the year I945 the market- ed value of our Island fisheries was over three million dollars, compared with some _Iwo_ and o half millions the previous year—a big increase due both to larger quantities caught and higher prices. This year there is likely to be a still further increase. The industry last year ‘em- ployed 3,885 persons throughout the Province, which was fewer than the previous year but this no doubt was due to the increasing difficulty in obtaining labour. In any case the foregoing figures show that we are a "big Province" so far as Mr. Bridges’ department is concerned, and are deserving of every consideration and at- tention. As pointed out some time ago in these col- umns, there are several things that can be done for the industry in co-operation with the Pro- vincial Government. Improved boat harbors_to accommodate larger fishing boats, as_ well as new harbors where none now exist, adyacent to the best fishing grounds, have been asked for repeatedly. Also badly needed are new_ plants for handling, storing and distributing fish, in- cluding fi__sh piers, salt fish storage, canneries and cold storage. It is to be hoped also that the Province and Dominion will co-operate in making a survey of the possibilities of setting up industries allied to the main fishing industry, incIuding'a chemical plant which could produce fish meal and other products. _

The question of markets is an important one toa. Wartime prices will not always pre- vail for canned lobster and other luxury fish- ery products, and we must look elsewhere than to the United States for export opportunities. Last January Monsieur Laurien, the Ffeflfill Consul General, visited us and stated that there was "a big market" in France for dried fish from the Maritimes. PerhaprMr. Bridges, when he comes, can tall us whether this opportunity is being investigated, and also what other P'°5' pects are being explored in the interests of our oxport fishery trade.

Medical "Exodus Ill Ilrltalii

There is one phase of the British Govern- ment's National Health Bill that seems to have escaped notice, or at any rate public comment. This is the determined exodus of many of the younger general practitioners in the country.

In many populous London suburbsestah- lished doctors are packing up and clearing _out to distant countries, mostly to the DOIIIIIIIOIIS overseas. "My own family doctor, released from the services some months ago to resume_ his private London practice is off to South Africa, says a London correspondent. "He tells me of about a dozen other members of the medical profession much in his own position, who are known to him personally, and are also arranging to migrate elsewhere. This exodus, _which_ may ultimately amount to serious proportions, is due to the Government's decree that practices can no longer be sold, and that, unless doctors consent to come under the socialization scheme they will receive no compensation on retzrement for es- tablished goodwill."

A Severe Loss

It is on ironic turn in circumstances, when the farmers of New Brunswick’: potato grow- ing bolt in the Upper Saint John River counties were harvesting one of the largest crops in hist- ory that one of the sources from which they de- rived a considerable source of revenue for their labors should be destroyed by fire. astrous blaze which levelled, the big dehydration plant and starch factory of New Brunswick Potato Products, Limited, at Hortland, with a loss estimated as high as $300,000, is a serious blow both to the industry and to the growers in our sister Province, who had in this industrial establishment on outlet for much of their stock.

It had been anticipated, says the Mocton Times, that with the heavy tuber crop this yoar tho factory would handle a greatly enlarged vol-

l srsno and to take core of this new machinery cost-

1“ about $50,000, had been installed in an ad-

ditional branch devoted to the manufacture of

gluon which alone would have processed $500 yojtli of potatoes daily.

Italy invaded Greece this date I940. Mus- solini demanded that Greece should allow Ital- ian troops to_occupy strategic points in Greece, and gave three hours to reply. Greece rejected the ultimatum and people were called upon to fight for their independence and honour. Ital- ian troops crossed the frontier and were bravely resisted. Greece appealed to Britain for help, and in reply Mr. Churchill promised to give "all the help in our power" and share united victory. Athens airdrame and Corinth were bombed by Italian planes.

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs an- nounced recently that since the commencement of the university program for veterans in October, I941, 42,442 ex-servicemen and women have registered at Canadian universities for train- ing with DVA assistance. More than 2,000 ex- service women are included in this figure, and among them, as among ex-servicemen, the greatest number have selected arts and science,

The British Medical Association has now appointed an editor and assistant editor for a bulletin of abstracts from the world's medical journals to begin publication in January. Be- fore the war this service was performed in Germ- any. The editor will be Dr. G. M.

Gilder,» who spent five years in German prison camps whence he emerg- ed with a knowledge of no less than I4 langu- ages.

Judging by reports from Ottawa Premier Jones has accepted the Federal subsidy proposal of $l5 per capita based on the value of the gross national production. The C. P. learned that the basis for fixing the value of the gross national production has been one of the details that has been delaying the drafting of final agreements. The Provinces are understood to be asking for definite assurances that their annual per capita grants will not fall below a definite minimum. Provinces which do not sign new agreements with the Dominion will be free to reimpose in- come and corporation taxes as they did in pre- war years.
