MONTREAL. Jan. 19- (CF)- More home-building in Canada emerged today an a sort of theme of the opening sessions of .the annual meeting of the Canadian Construction Association.

It was noted that one out of evcry seven Canadians lives in ll

home or apartment building since

1946; and that last-year activity had resulted in an estimated 75,- ln 1952 rather than n lowcr figure which had been expected earlier.

Nevertheless. said spcnkcrs, the houslng section of the industry is

able to build more than it now is

doing. and Canadians need them.

The report of the nssoriniiolvs prepared by Leigh, chairman, of Vic- toria, said "The housing back- log is still Canada's most press- ing social problem."

Gov'i Knows Who Stole Copy Of - Currie Report I

OTTAWA. Jan. 10 -(CP) - Justice Minister Garson, in cor- respondence tabled today in the Commons, said the R. C. M. P. have found sufficient evidence to ident- ify the person who "stole" an ad- vance copy of the Currie Report "and to warrant a criminal charge against him."

The person was not named. The advance copy is the which came into the hands of M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader.

(Since the advance copy was not Government property, there are in- dications the Government feels any charges should be laid by Mr. Currie or by the printing firm.

(It was Mr. Currie who suggested that the Government do what it could to help find out how the copy got to the C.C:F.)

Sees Great Opportunity For Off -Shore Fisheries Industry

Trcmcndnus possibilities in de- veloping Prince Edward Island's off-shore fisheries through the use of drnggers and modern pro- cessing methods were pictured by Mr. Eugene Gorman, Director of Fisheries in the Provincial Dc- pariment of Industry and Natural Resources, in an address before the Charlottetown Rotary Club yesterday.

Emphasizing the vast resources of the Gull! of St. Lawrence, Mr. Gorman said this Province was so close to the fishing grounds as

to occupy "practically a ringside seat. So close are we that fivc men in a wooden boat can suc-

cessfully compete even with the one-million-dollar factory ships which would have to come from distant ports."

"The problem of developing our Island fisheries,” .Mr. German said. "is A weighty one. it will not be solved by the enthusiastic effort of any one Department, nor perhaps even by adding to this the intense desire of fislicrnicn for more effective meihods,-- ihough these are powerful factors. No, I am convinced this is a job that will be properly done only by the joint efforts of the Island Community.-by the judicious en-

couragement of government, by the active and effective role of the fishing industry. also by the understanding and participation of those other factors essential io the success of enterprise. "Our past fishery activity has

revolved heavily around in luxury item, shellfish. In the period of

our records (back to 1919) this has never amounted to lcsit than 6096 of our turnover dollar. and

has sometimes amounted to more than 82ft. This branch of fish- ing is furthermore exploited very close to its economic limit. Our problem of expansion, then, is not simply to develop our main line. We must develop another.

Disappointment Reported In Big Western, Province

By Ha rold Morrison

OTTAWA. Jan. 19 -- (CF) The I-logg Royal Commission has unanimously turned thumbs down on construction of a huge 3250.000.- 000 irrigation and power project in the dry core of South Saskatch- ewan.

The rejection, on the grounds that the scheme is currently unprofit- able. caused deep disappointment in the big wheat-growing Province. It faced the Federal Government with a new political problem.

Might Come Later.

The three-man commission said, however. that its findings might be reviewed when conditions change. The project could be used as a "shelf" program, to provide relief during widespread unemployment. It might be reconsidered when the area becomes heavily populated, providing big markets for special- ized vegctable crops which would require irrigation.

As for the 150.000-horsepower that the project was to provide. this power could be obtained just as cheaply from steam plants built near the towns and cities requiring thcm or near low-cost fuel sources.

Product of a year-long study, the commissions 440-page, l50.000-word report was tabled in the Commons today without comment by Prime Minister St, Laurent,

But there were murmurs of dis- approval within his own cabinet and in South Saskatchewan. In Saskatoon, unlversitv and civic leaders expressed disappointment. and surprise at the rejection.

Urged For Many Years

For years many of Saskatchewan's voters urged construction on the grounds that it would provide cheaper electricity and. through ir- rigation. help populate the area with more farms.

The project would create a 135- mile-long artificial lake as reser- voir on the South Saskatchewan River to irrigate about 455,000 acres stretching along a 50-mile area from Outlook in Saskatoon. The area's farms would be increased to 2,700

from 1,245. g The commission said that it would take between RV, and it)

years to build the dam and other works. and another 35 to 50 years for full use of the irrigation works.

0'1'l'AWA, Jan. 19 -(OP) - The Board of Transport Commissioners today blocked a railway attempt to submit evidence immediately on im application for a general freight rate increase.

After an hour of C0lllUSPfl scrapping between opposing coun- sel for the railways and eight pro- vincial governments, the board:

l. Directed the C.P.R. to go ahead with evidence in a current applic- ation ln which the company wanis a new rate-making system that implies-but does not specifically

state terms of-higher freight charges. 2. Refused to hear evidence to-

day on a section of the application calling for a specific general in- crease of nine per cent in freight rates. The board ruled this evidence will not be taken until the other material is in.

Apart from opposing the re- ception of evidence now in the specific rate case, provincial coun- sel today also tackled the railways on two other points:

I. Is the government-owned Canadian National Railways joining the C.P.R. in the ap- plications? (The original ap- plication was open to varying interpretations on this.)

2. How big an increase is the C.P,R. asking for now? Does it want only the nine-per-cent rate boost named in the ap- plication. or an amount that would give it the originally- ukcd five-per-cent retuni on the "rate bale"? Saskatchewan counsel M. A. MacPhei-son said the latter would involve I freight boost of more than .10
