important Fisheries llll

General approval has been expressed in the House of Commons committee of the rigid inspection of fish and fishing equip- ment by Federal officers under the new Bill which has been introduced by Fisheries Minister Mayhew. There has been some criticism as to details, but in principle the need for more rigid inspection measures is praity generally conceded. Once the new legislation has been approved, it will pave the way for quality control of fish products in Canada which has been long overdue.

The present Act dates back to 1914, and is considered both obsolete and ineffective. The new one will make possible regulations such as have been basic in the meat pack- ing industry in Canada for the past thirty years. Similar regulations to those now proposed for fisheries have been in effect in Canada for poultry, eggs, fruit and vege- tables, etc., for many years. In these pro- clucts, these regulations form the basis of modern marketing and high per capita con- sumption.

Behind these projected developments for the fisheries there is the fact that the en- try of Newfoundland into Confederation makes Canada the world's leading fish ex- porting nation in terms of dollar value. The aim of the Government and of the Fisheries Council is to increase this consumption con- siderably, through enlarged advertising and sales promotion, research, and educational programmes which will reach from house- wife to fisherman and embrace as well the big hotel, institutional and other commercial outlets where the bulk of Canadian fish is consumed.

Expansion of the home market is the best answer to the challenge of narrowing export markets, and our fishermen in this Province and throughout the Maritimes have everything to gain by co-operating

wholeheartedly in the drive to improve quality production as a means of achieving this end.

Safer liars

Automobile manufacturers could do much to eliminate vast numbers of acci- dents which occur each year, many of which result in death or injury. This is the opin- ion expressed by writers in an article ap- pearing in the November issue of ‘Magazine Digest’. The trouble seems to be that mak- ers are skeptical of the sale of a car which incorporated these life-saving features. First of all safety engineers would place the mo- tor in the rear. This would allow the driver to sit so far forward that he could see every- thing immediately ahead of him instead of having his vision of the road blocked for a 100 feet by an engine and often more by the unnecessary and “phony" hood designed simply‘ to give the car that powerful look.

The engine in the rean would reduce the risk of monoxide poisoning and also place ihe weight on the rear wheels which would allow straight line stops in case of sudden application of the brakes. The windshield would be of polarized glass placed straight up and down with no joints,‘ pillars, or other "blind spots." Headlights would be placed on the roof behind the driver so that oncoming drivers would not have to look straight at the blinding lights. Interior fit- tings would be moulded into the body to minimize danger of fatal results in case of an accident. -~

Then to ensure that the car will not be driven at speeds in excess of ability of the driver or of conditions of the road, a gov- ernor would be installed which while allow- i‘ the necessary power for quiclcetarts, would not permit operation of the vehicle over 50 or 60 miles per hour. .

We may be sure this car will be on the market when the average car owner is more interested in his own and others’ safety than in the speed and streamlined appearance.

There is no conflict between the Island proposal that transportation services be in- tegrated and the truckers’ objection to cen- tralized regulation of all forms of transport. Given the desire to provide efficient service there is nothing to prevent railways and other carriers adjusting schedules so as to give the best possible service and taking into account the schedules of the others.

After the 15th of next month landlords may advance rentals of unheated houses by 20 per cent and of heated houses by 25 per cent. But this does not apply to houses tak- en on lease, the increase on which will be effective only at the termination of the lease. Like locking the stable after the steed has been stolen, the Government has decided to test before the Supreme Court the validity of their rent control which has been in effect since the outbreak of the war.

However, as you scem to be very hard up for jurors,’ it might be arranged for me to serve. Please contact St. Peter. Charles W. Loderhose, per Mrs. Beatrice W. Loderhose."

Allegedly at the instance of. a business man for adversely criticizing the high prices being_.charged in Newfoundland, the editor of a tri-weekly newspaper there lost his job. This roused the ire of the Legion and trade unionists who raised such storms of protest that the publishers of the paper thought ii prudent to reappoint him. The Great War Veterans in a resolution said: “Vi/e realize that the freedom of the press is part of the heritage for which our men sacrificed and shed their blood in two World Wars and we protest against any who are seeking to de- stroy that freedom in order to promote their personal selfishness and greed. This- free- dom is now being jeopardized as in some other parts of the world," -

Five years ago, on November 5, 1944, all dry lend on Walcheren Island in the Scheldt Estuary, with the exception of two places, Veers and Middleburg, was reported in allied hands. This brought to an end the Canadian operation to clear the port of Antwerp. These operations began the first week in October when the Canadians began their drive to secure the west bank of the RlverScheldt and the advance to the gen-

g erel line Roosendaai-Bergen Op Zoom.

After securing the west bank and sealing off ‘the lstlimus connecting Zuid Beveland with the mainland to the east, the difficult as- saults to capture Zuid Beveland and Wal- cheren began. In preparation for the es- seult of Walcheren Island, the dyke at Westkapelle was bombed, allowing the sea to flqw in and flood the enemy defences. a;- the end of October it could be said that for the first time in history an island had been sunk by air power. As a result of this flooding, the enemy garrison had only siomech enough for a week's fighting after the amphibious assaults went in on Novem- ber 1. rs were almady at work and some three weeks later, November 28. a convoy entered the Port of Antwerp.

MILITARY DESERTIONS ‘-

Writing on January 2, 1860, to Earl Grey, Colonial Secretary. Lieutenant Governor Sir Donald Campbell submitted a return showing the numlber of desertions from the garrison of Charlotte- town duiring the preceding year. They amounted to no fewer than twenty out of a company of one hundred men.

“It is a subject of great regret to me that my efforts to check dcsertion have not been more successful," Sir Donald wrote. "I can assure your Lordship that I have done all in my power, and that I have received every assist- ance from the commandant of ihe Garrison. and the regimental offi- cc-rs; but I am sorry to be com- pelled to say that instead of re- ceiving the support I expected from the inhabitants of this Colony, ob- stacles have been thrown in my way.

"In i848, it wasgepresen-ted. by the officer commanding the detach- ment of ihe 23rd Fusileers, then stationed here, that dcsertion was encouraged by the inhabitants for the purpose of benefiting them- selves, by procuring cheap labour. I was extremely univilling to give crcdit to such a charge, but l con- fcss that my farther experience loads me to believe that it may be truc.

"From ihe inclosed documents your Lordship will see that at the last Trinity Term of the Su- prcme Court in Charlottetown I brought forward what appeared to be a clear case against a men f r harboring a dcserter, and that ihe Grand Jury thought proper to throw out the Bill. it is evident that my endeavours must be fruit- less, unless l can succeed in pun- ishing persons who harbour dc- serters, and the conduct ~of the Grand Jury shows thpt, as fer as they are concerned, no con- viction shell take place for that offence.

"Under the circumstances l felt it to be my duty to recommend to Lieutenant General Sir John Ilr vey, that the Garrison should be reduced from 100 to 80 meli. its former‘ amount."

In his reply from Downing Street, February 9, I850. the Cni- oniel Secretary instructed the Lieutenant Governor to bring the “abject of military desertions un- der the consideration o'f the Le|~ isleture at. its ncxt-meetim, “m1 that you wui call upon that My to pan such measures as they may deem best adapted to cheol! the crime in question. But you rnuel. endeavour to imprea upon the in- habitants of the Colony that, un- lens they shall co-operate with Her Majesty‘: Government in suppressing desertlon, the Troops will be withdrawn.”

These instructions apparently were ineffective. Two years later. Earl Grey wrote to the new Lieutenant Governor, Sir Alex- ander .Blnnern\an, regretting to note from the returns of IM "that the crime of desartlon still

to withdraw the Troops from the Island."

The troops remained here until l854._when outbreak of war with Russia provided s better excuse for withdrawing them. They consist- ed at that time of a company of the 76th Regiment under Capt. Senhouse, and a mull detach- ment of artillery-in ell about 110 men. The stores and fortifications were left in charge of two gun- ners of the Royal Artillery, and in the following year St. George's Battery. Fort Edward and the Blockthouse Fort were dismantled. Seventy-six year; had elapsed since four companies of troops had landed in Charlottetown to estab- lish a garrison, during which time they were annually relieved by fresh detachments from Halifax.

Soviet Russia And The United Nations

(By W.N. Ewer)

M. Vyehindkys utterances at Flushing Meadows were generally regarded as a scarcely veiled threat of secesslo from the Un ited Nations if Russia did not get. her way about Jusoslevieb can- didature. And, indeed, his words could have no other meaning and no other purpose.

Yet. e few days later, Pravda and Izv tia were both protesting ihe devo idn of the Soviet Union ,to the United Nations, “The Sov- iet Govemment" said Pravda "re- gards the United Nations as an instrument of peace and peaceful cooperation among nations". ‘The Soviet Govemment" says Izvestla "uses ell its strength in order that the United Nations shall serve the noble aim set It by the Charter" Evidently the Soviet Government has no intention of speeding. The Vyehinsky threats were not Ic- tended to be carried out. They IIO In fact a bluff: end the bluff was celled. It is not the first. or last time that Stalin has used this most dangerous of s11 diplomatic

While any realistic statesman would bethink him that if they did, It would make little dlflel- ence, except that a lot of trouble would be avoided and a let of work done more lnoothly and more quickly. ,

There ll far too great a tend- ency today to look upon anything savouring of restraint or mohi rectltude. u Victorian or efifete. The cry il all for modernity in everything-even married life. It cannot be too strongly stressed that the strength of a nation lies in its homes end family life. there that the foundations are laid for future greatness and success. if we wantonly destroy this cradle of moral fibre and national spirit, we shall end up as a collection of medloc ltles bound for lasting ob- liviom-Edrnonton Bulletin.

If cannot be said that the peo- ple of the United States-much less the people of Canada — yet realize the burdens they must as- sume if defence planning is to keep abreast of these latest events. They must be ready now to pay out much larger sums for defence and to continue paying them for an Indefinite period. That is the

poses. Lake Success is a. useful liste ‘ post. It is a useful cen- tre for intrigue and for attempts to create dissension. And perhaps the most cogent n of all.

So why should they leave this post. of vantage in what they re- gard as enemy territory? Vyshln- sky will use the threat of secess- ion whenever he regards it as use- ful. But it is very unlikely that. it.
