Prime Minister St. Laurent sair‘ Wednesday in the Commons Can- ada expressed its ~concern in dip- lomatic notes to the U.S. state de-

of such restrictions. The notes, he said. were sent last year when the six-man U. S. tariff commission started an in- vcstigaiion in the trade of ground- fish fillets. the meat of such fish as cod. haddock and ocean perch.

The commission sent its report last week to President Eisenhower who is expected to announce its content and a decision placing tariffs on fish imports. The rc- port was assumed to favor higher tariffs on the ground that the com-' mission makes no report unless half its members are favorable to higher tariffs. - The commission's investigation was made on the strength of com- New England fishing industry which asked for import curbs because of the effect on Canadian fish sales in the 11.5.

BECAUSE OF EMPLO

OTTAWA. CP) - Canada may cut down on immigration for the remainder of 1954 as the result of unemployment.

The government will be conduct- ing its half-yearly survey of the immigration outlook this month. and informants said Wednesday the 1954 program could be aitectcd by unemployment that reached a post-war peak a few weeks ago.

The question the cabinet will consider. it was stated. is whether Canada ran continue to take in lnimigmnis at the crurent rate when there is more unemployment than normal in the country.

The unemployment -—- which reached a top of 570.000 ]ob-seek- eds in late Maroh—Wedneaday led the executive council of the 580,000- member Trades and Labor Con- gress of Canada to call on the gov- ernment lo cut off immigration al- together for at least the remainder of this ycar. The council's stand was made public in a statement after its meeting.

The r-ouncll—govi-rnlng body of the TLC between annual conven- tions—said thousands of workers are unemployed while immigrants are coming in and "it now must be recognized that many unem- ployed wnrkers may not be re-em- ployed even during the peak em- ployment season this year."
