Our Coastal Fisheries One of the live issues in the elec-

tion which brought the Pearson gov- |

ernment into power in 1963 was the protecton of Canada’s coastal fisher- ies by the imposition of a 12-mile fish- ing limit. The Conservatives were blamed for inaction in this matter. The’ Liberals had legislation passed in the following year which, as an- nounced in Parliament at the time, was to save Canadian waters from systematic looting by non-Canadian trawlers and smacks. To date, how- ever, the much-vaunted Bill 8-17 has done little more than preserve the same old status quo of July 9, 1964, the day it was approved by the House of Commons.

The only practical effect of the measure—which established a tem- porary 12-mile limit based on the “csinuosities’ of Canada’s craggy coastline—has been to prevent the Russians and Japanese from estab- lishing squatters’ tights in the nine- mile area outside the old three-mile boundary of our territorial waters. And even that is a preventive move of dubious value. _ :

S-17 gives the government discre- tion to establish—by order-in-coun- cil—new limits based on straight base lines, but not before negotiations with foreigh habitues of our waters are complete. While our diplomats wrangle politely with the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Norway and Denmark, their fishermen continue

to pull more fish off Canada’s coast- |

alghelves than our Canadian fisher-

mén do. Fishermen from these eight

nations will continue to fish inside the new 12-mile limit until Canada can petsuade their governments to sign “phasing out’ agreements for historic and treaty rights. No deadline is yet in sight:

the end of the crop year, and the same amount is expected to be on | hand at the end of the present year.

| But this does not tell the whole story.

| The other part is.that harvests in re- | cent years have, én’ the whole, been larger than in the past, but that ex- port sales have kept pace, so that in

spite of larger crops the carryover has |

not grown but has, in fact, been re- duced. According to the grain company,

the situation is even more serious in”

| feed grains and to an even greater ex- | tent in the supply of vegetable and | animal proteins. The demand for meat, cheese, eggs, butter and mar- | garine is steadily increasing “and it | is the responsibility of the prosperous | Western world to put an end to sem!- | starvation in so many under-develop- ed countries.” Indications are that the presen | situation will not change, but may

grow tighter, as it concerns demand. India faces the worst food |

for food. crisis in its history, and its deficit in grain may be double the 108 million

dian food minister. Parts of China | are reported to be undergong a ser- ious drought with the result that

wheat may be lost.

This leads to the hope among western farmers that they need no longer worry about being asked to cut

wheat, feed grains, or vegetable and animal protein sources, and that even the most scientific farming methods, with their increased yields, are not going to be enough to meet food de- mands in an expanding world. It is a situation that augurs well for Cana- dian farmers generally, and points up, once again, the need for continu-

channels open.

Indian Ocean Base

In the far Indian ocean, about 1,- | 000 miles southwest of Ceylon, there is a coral outcropping knows as Diego Garcia, part of the Chargos archipel- ago. No one but a confirmed geo- graphy bug has ever heard of it. But according to an American exchange, it is about to solve some serious de- fense and security problems —for Great Britain and the United States. Diego Garcia is uninhabited ex- cept for a few hundred transient fish- ermen who have no claim to it. It belongs to Mauritius, which is getting

| freedom from Britain next year. It | has no connection with Mauritius ex- cept that the British linked the two | for administrative purposes. And

| Mauritius, eager to lay hands on any | cash it can get, is more than willing to sell any of its presumed rights. . Britain and the United States feel the need of a military base in that. part of the world, particularly because Britain may soon be forced to close its base at Aden; Sinapore is threaten-

OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson

Footnote To Early Canadian History

Dr. and Mrs. Sinclair of Deep River set out to Tobermory to kill a deer; but instead, they flushed a rare and treasured Canadian ghost. Dr. Sinclair I should explain, is a boisterous Scot who ministers to he ato- | a mic scientists of Chalk River, while Mrs. Roselma Sinclair is the petite deputy reeve of Deep

the bunk-village where those scientists live with their | three harquebuse degrees and their children.

STORM OR HIGHJACK Contemporary hearsay sug- gested variously that indians saw the Griffon foundering in a sudden storm, or that the Pot- tawattomie indians looted and burnt her, or that the pilot Luc highjacked her rich cargo and sank her. The ancient mystery will never be unravelled now. Even_the discovery —of human bones, presumably those of crew members, among the rot- ting timbers proves nothing. | But the positive identification of the Tobermory wreck as the Griffon has been effected by the well-known Canadian naval
