Sees No Cause For Gloom In Fishing Industry

II‘. JOHN'S. Nfld.. (OP) — Fisheries Minister May- hew said tonight he believes dol- lar-eavings policies in the West Indies will have no effect on the sale of Canadian fish there.

The Minister, here on an inspec- tion tour of North Atlantic fish- eries, said West Indians “consider cod for breakfast as essential as a Scot does oatmeal." He was ad- dressing a meeting of the New- foundland Press Club.

"I dontknow why people take I gloomy view of our market pos- sibilities anyway," he said, "when, in my opinion. there is ample mar- ket. for our fish in Canada. and the ‘United States."

Greatest problem for fishermen and dealers was improving the quality of their product and devel- aping the prcsent ‘consumer inar- e .

No decision has been reached in the matter of the location of the proposed new Naval barracks for Charlottetown, and its con-

rangements can be made respect- ing suitability of possible sites. Hon. Brooke Claxton, Minister of National Defense, informed a Guardian representative last night.

Asked whether more than one site \vas being considered, the Minister said "Oh, yes"; but he smilingly declined to go into the matter further.

To the query whether a decis- ion would be reached soon. he pointed out that in any case no provision for the work had been made in this year's Parliamentary estimates. The same applied, he said. to the proposed ncw Arm- ourics for Charlottetown.

Mr. Claxton said there are twcnty Naval Reserve divisions across Canada, and the great ma- jority of tlicm are now supplied with adequate accommodation. "Charlottetown." he added. "is one of the places having a high prior- iity in any construction plans.“

This year, ho explained. the Department is coticcntratinglarizo- ly on construction of married quarters and on operational build- ings. He instanced the contract let for the crcciion of 150 housing units at the Summerside air sta- tion. and other similar projects at

Halifax. Dartmouth and other ccntrcs. _ _ The Minister's statement indic-

atcs a change of Govcrnmc it pol- _io_v on the Naval. barracks. n13.5- tion since last January. when it was intimated that a site. at Vic- toria Park had bccn selected. and that it was desired to have this site made available to the Domin- ion so that provision for the pro- jcct could bc made in the 1049-50 cstimaics.

Enjoyed Motor Drive

The Minister arrived ‘in Char- lottetown from Sumrnerside about 6 o'clock last evening. He was accompanied by his wife and datiflhtirr, and by Brig. H.L. Cam- eron. Dcfciisc secretary, Ottawa.

Scouts Begin To Gather For Big Jamboree

OTTAWA, July 15—(CP)-Bell tents and marquees sprang up to- day on sprawling Connaught Rifle Ranges as Boy Scouts gathered for the first Canadian Jamboree.

Come Monday 3,000 top Scouts from many points in Canada and the United States will bed down for nine days camping on the site of the Dominion of Canada Rifle As- sociation's annual competition, 14 miles west of Ottawa. They now are on their way by train and bus.

I nthe words of Camp Chief Eli Boynner, of Saint John. N. B.. they're coming "to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the widely separated parts of this great Dominion. The Jamboree will cem- ent the century old friendship with our neighbors to the south‘. This Jamboree will help make Canada strong."

Chief Scout Viscount Alexander. Governor-General, in a message of welcome said:

"This is n splendid opportunity for each of you to get to know others from across this broad and bountiful land. Make the most of it. rind when you return to your hom- es, you will be wiser and happier in the knowledge that you know someone from every part of Can- ada."

Four tont villages will house the Scouts. Five hundred bell tents and 50 marquees will dot the land- scape of this five-square-mlle rifle range.

1n addition to the American Scouts, fifteen Scout leaders from Cuba will attend the Jamboree as observers. They hope to absorb ideas for a proposed Cuban jam- borce in 1950.

Chief commissioner 9f British Scouts, Haydn Dimmock, arrived today aftcr spending a few days in Montreal.

i Canada Seeking NeW_ ' Air Route To The Orient

By nainotn MORRISON

OTTAWA. July 15 —- (C?) — Canada, ever on the search for new commercial air lanes, will attempt to strike a. deal Iwith the UZPied Kingdom next week.

She will try to bargain air traf- fic rights at Gander. Newfound- land. for a trans-Pacific air route to the Orient.

Canada will be represented at the bargaining table by Trans- port Minister Chevrier, who an- nounced today he will leave for London Sunday to negotiate a new Anglo-Canadian bilateral air ag- reement.

John R. Baldwin; Chairman of the Air Transport Board, will ac- company Mr. Chevrier.

Britain's rights to pick up and iii-op off passengers at Gander ter- minated when Newfoundland be- came Canada's 10th Province March 81.

simiiii- rights, held by the Un- ited Btates and French air iinel. also terminated, but Canada gave

the three countries a three-month

erietog,

extension through an ext-misuse o!

notes. Since then a new bilateral air agreement was signed between

Canada and the 118.. giving the Dominica's neighbor rights to Gander as a stop-over point in trans-Atlantic flights, in return for the right to do bigger air bus- iness in U.S. territory.

France has made no move to re- new her air agreement with the l‘ minion.

In return for conthiued use of the Gander Airport. Canada will ask the UK. to let the Dominion use the Fill Islands and Hung Kong as stop-over point: for a Trans-Pacific line Canada hopes to open to the Orient.

She may also ask for eaten: of Canada's air right: in the Un- ited Kingdom where trans-Canada Air Lines now use Plutwiak and Iondon Airports u terminating points for picking up and drop- ping off passengers.

Canada may ask the UK. to poi-- mlt the Dominion to extend air traffic lines from London and

Prestwick to the Iunrpean con- tinent. but this is not yet. certain.

Immigrants To Lessen

OTTAWA, July 15-(CP)—More than 300,000 immigrants from prac- tically every country in the world have reached Canada since the end of the war. but the movement is expected to be curtailed in coming months as a result of emigration barriers raised by most European countries.

A Resources Department official said today that as a result of the European barriers it was a fair as- sumption that Canada will encour- age the movement of immigrants from the United States in coming years.

He stated that no special em- phasls now is being placed on the movement of immigrants from the United States, but he added that all possible sources of new citizens are being constantly examined.

Several factors are contributing to the dropping off of immigration movements from the United Kine- dom and Europe. One of the main reasons is control of the amount of currency which emigrants are al- lowed to take with them to their new homes.

Holland. said the official, is one of the few countries encouraging emigration and "we have a good working arrangement with that country."

Many of the Immigrants who have reached here came from dis- placed persons camps, but the. e source: have been fairly well r - duced to persona who cannot mebt Canada's immigration‘ standards.

From Sept, 1, 1945, to May 31 1949, 33,722 Americans emigrated to Canada. From from 1944 to 1948. approximately 90.000 residents of Canada moved to the United States Available record: do not show any one year in which more Americans emigrated to Canada than Cana- dians to the United States.

In 1948, a total of 125,414 emi- grants arrived in Canada compared with 64,127 in 1947. The 1949 fis- ure 1| expected to be in the neigh- borhood of 100.000.

From Sept. 1, 1945, to last‘ May 31, the number of immigrants from all countries was 318.775. Besides the 33.722 Americana, the total in- cluded 104.424 persona of English origin. 11,851 Irish, 29,630 Scottish and 3.214 Welsh.

Among other large groups were Dutch. 18.491, French, 5.985, Bel- gium, 3.018, German 6,053, Eaton- ian 3.092, Hebrew 15.047, Italian. 6,- 929. Lettllh, 4.990, Lithuanian. 6.928. Polish 22.445, Ukranien, 15.503.

Will Consider Excommunicaiion Acts Treastin

By RICHARD KASISCHKE

PRAGUE, July 15 - (AP) Justice Minister Alexi Cepicka of Czechoslovakia said tonight a trea- son charge will be lodged against anyone who tries to enforce Pope Pius’ decree excommunicating Communists from the Roman Catholic Church.

"Let no one have the slightest doubt that anyone who, in any ivay, should attempt to carry out this directive of the Vatican per- petrates treason," Cepicka said in a speech. ,

“All acts violating valid laws will be punished as such. Who- ever tries to carry out on our ter- ritory the order of the main en- emy of our state (the Pope), lo: him count on the fact that he must forfeit all right to call him- self a Czech or Slovak."

Cepicka disclosed plans for a law to give the Communist Govern- mcnt control of practically all Roman Catholic Church affairs in this country, three-quarters of whose 12,000,000 people are Cath- ollcs.

He accused Archbishop Joseph Bcran. the Czechoslovak Primate, and other high Church leaders of trcasonable and anti-state activ- ity.

The speech was delivered less than 48 hours after the Vatican made public the papal decree cut- ting off militant Communists from the sacraments and comforts o! 1hr.- Church.

The Minister declared the ex- communication decree was an ill- egal and hostile act aimed at So- viet Russia and the Communist- rulod "people's democracies."

(The Vatican organ. L'Osserva- tore Romano, denied Friday a Communist charge that, the Church is meddling in politics through the decree. It said the decree was of an essentially religious nature, "which cannot justify an objection whatever?)

The Government stops appear to indicate that Communists intend to more uncomprisingly ahead in their campaign to break the pow- er of the Catholic Church hero and cut the country's diplomatic ties with the Vatican.

Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia are the only countries in Eastern Europe maintaining full diplomat- ic contact with the Holy See.

For Air Station Personnel

A mill-IQ “l! contract for the erection of 150 housing units at the Summerside air station has been let to the Bnysido Construction Co. Ltd. of Campbelltoii, N. 13., it was learned yesterday in an interview with Defence Minister Brooke Claxton who was on an inspection tour of the station.

The buildings will be erected on land which has been purchased for the purpose just cast of the station. Ml‘. Claxton said that it is hoped to have most of them completed by the end of the present fiscal year, which is March 31.

An additional one hundred houses may be erected later if it is considered that there is a need for them.

Hon. Mr. Claxton arrived yester- day at noon by plane from Yar- mouth, N. S.. accompanied by Mrs. Claxton and daughter and by his defense secretary, Brigadier Cam- eron. He said he had come to see what progress is being made in re- activating the station, to inspect the work that is being done on the runways and to consider the hous- inc: project.

It. was also revealed that the streets and the sidewalks of the station will be paved this summer This work will be done by Curran and Briggs Ltd, who have the con- tract for the runways.

Improving Morale

The Minister said that the erec- tion of these housing units is part of the job of creating the best liv- |ing conditions for the men in the services. The best way to get good morale is to have good living quar- ters, he said. He explained that two and ri half years ago when he he- ramo Minister of Defense thorn were only 1100 of these ' service houses and now there are about 8,000 of them.
