Newfoundland Question

OD

ITS IMPERIAL IMPORTANCE

How Canada is Interested,

An Able and Exhaustive Speech

By Hon. Senator Howlan.

ad

Avnoros of the resolution passed by the House of Assembly on Saturday, the fol- lowing speech, delivered by Hon. Mr. How- sn in the Senate a few days ago, exposes learly the the matter, and shows how the intecests involved are of Canadian and Imperial concern, aa well aa justifiable is the stand takea by Oar the i

grounds of

how ia and Great Britain as againet rigues of Bond and Blaine :—

fhe question of the fisheries of New- foundland is a broad one—a question that is of interest to the whole British Empire. Tie Newfoundland fisheries do not belong to Newfoundland, but to the whole British world. They have a perfect right, under the constitution, to make laws for the pro tection of those fisheries within the three- nile limit. They are users, so to speak, fur the geueration in which they live of those fisheries. The British people from Melbourne, Australia, or from Hong Kong, have jast as good a right to go and fiah within the three-mile limit of Newfound- land as have the Newfoundlanders them- selves, and it is on that principle, and that sione, that the objection was raised with regard to the bait question. When the Act was passed in 1885, it did not receive the Royal assent. Why! The Imperial suthorities knew as well then as they knew afterwards that it was impossible to take away the rights of any 1b ‘itish fishermen in these waters to participate in these bait fisheries, and the gentlemen who were then suswerable to the Governor of Newfound. land, as his advisers, distinctly promised, if the Act was passed, that it would hava have no bearing, directly or indirectly, in the most remote manner on Canadian fishermen, otherwise the Act would not have received the Royal assent. What is the answer given to that question now by the gentleman who is responsible to Her Majesty's representative in Newfoundland / That he was net answerable forthe repre- sentations made by a previous Premier of the colony whe had made these promises. That is simply absurd. There would be ne continuity of government if the Premier of one day could repudiate the promises of his predecessor. That was the bisis of the whole question, and that was the error which the Newfundlandera committed, that they thought the fisheries were their own, and that they could make such laws as would suit their own views and for their individual benefit. They had no right to grant any particular body of persons any special rights of privileges in fisheries which they did not absolutely own them- selves What belongs to all canuot,be given to one, and that was the principle under- lying this bait question. A great deal has heen ssid and «a great many points have been raised on the fact of what the Newfoundlanders call the bounty-fed fishermen interfering with their industry. That isa question with which we have nothing to do; it is a question of lomestic economy in France. As has been well observed by the hon. gentlemen who preceded me here, it is not the intrinsic value of the fisheries of St. Pierre and Miquelon that France considers. France values the French fisheries in North America because they are the great nursery of her seaman, aad that is why France gives a bounty. Bat my hon. friend has not stated the whole question with regard to these bounties. Not only does she give a particular bounty on each quintal of fish produced from the French American fish- eries, but she also gives a bonus to every man who goes out from her reformatories to these bank-fisheries, so in that respect she has dcne everything in her power to promote her fishing interest. The repre- sentative men of France are not wanting ina patriotic desire to preserve all their rights and privileges, and they know that unless they make special arrangements to maintain the fisheries at St, Pierre and Miquelen no trade would be attracted to

those islands. Why do people go there from Quebec, Halifax, St. John and other ports! The question is easily sunswered. While we are obliged to main- tain a high tariff to raise a revenue, the islands of St. Pierre and

Miyuelon have scarcely any tariff at all, but are carrying out what we, at the time of Confederation, proposed to do on the Lower St. Lawrence, when we thought of making a free port of Gaspe. At one time the tariff of St. Pierre and Miquelon was ouly 1 per cent.; now it is 24 per cent., and large quantities of goods are sent to those islands from several Canadian and United States ports. The result is that a large trade has grown up between those islands and various portson the Atlantic coast. There is quite a trade between Fortune Bay and St. Pierre and Miquelon. The people of these two places have often inter- married, and | amof the opinion that the Government of Newfoundland have taken the coutse with regard to Canada, of which we complain, mainly for the purpose of stopping this French trade. Why do I think so? My hon. friend (Mr. Boulton) in his remarks which were simply a reiter- ation of Newfoundland’s ‘case, admits that the object of the island Government waa to prevent the French fishermen from getting bait when they passed the Bait Act. The first people who broke that law were the islanders themselves, and the Government and to put on steamers to stop them, They were fining and confining them, but they did nut stop the trafic. They next tried to make atreaty with the United States. Now, if the duty in that county was equal to the bounty paid by the French fisher- méu, the question would be at rest, but the fact is, while the duty is fifty cents in the United States, the French bounty is $2 per quintal. It has been stated that after attention was called to the effect which the Act would have upon Canada, it was only passed on the assurance of the gentlemen who were then in power in Newfoundland, that nothiff Sfiould be done under the Act

to interfere with our rights. Weelept on those rights for a short time ; we were ul- willing to believe that such a course would b» pursued towards us, What do we find ? Did the hon. gentleman himself find any fault with the course that Canada pursued towards Newfoundland / Not at ali. It is true he had changed his opinion last year, but at that time he expressed very appropriately hie indignation when a Canadian fisherman was taken

; | fisheries, as they had a right to © 9, since |

almost in|

chains aad placed in gaol in Newfoundland. |

The hon. gentleman brought the matter to the attention of the House, and atter re peating the facts aa stated in the St. John Evening Herald, he said

“The Government of Newfoundiand are irritateda—I do think justly so—because Canada saw fit, when Newfoundland was negotiating what is called the Boud treaty (which was going to give privileges to the people of the United States with regard to getting bait, and with regard to trade and traffic arrangements, which were denied to their fellow colonists in Canada), to inter- fere, and according to this paper the is- land Government is resenting upol ab in- citizen this interference on the It ia quite pro bh? Line

olf -nsive part of our Government. vable that such 8 the Case it iA proper to say just here that the Govern- ment of "Newfoundland are wroag im the position they are taking with regard to dis- crimiinating against Canada.”

Now, the hou. gentleman has changed his opiniow altogether. He thinks we are discriminating egainst Newfoundland. Now when did we commence to discriminate ? It was after Newfoundland vessels came into our harbors with loads of ish and bait to sell, whilat our fishermen were refused bait and lost their sesson’s fishing. We complained, and very justly eo. Astne hen. gentiewanfrow Riebmond has very properly said, no single case has been proved where a Canadian vessel hag obtained bait on the Newfoundland coast, and soid it w the Freveb, In a discussion on this question with a gentleman who thought he knew 4 great deal about it, he said, ‘** No, but you took bait from the Magdalen Islands and sold it to the French.” I said, ** My dear sir, | have had « great deal of experience in the Magda! an Islands, an? [ understand that the French fishermen fit out for the banks about the first week of April. Now the whole allied fleets of Europe could not gett» the!Magdalen Islands at that time of the year,so that that contention falls to the ground.” Why is ic that the United States are so anxious to make a treaty with Newfoundland and not with Oanada? Chis bait question is ef paramount import- ance to the fisheries of Nurth America, and if they could be secured by the United States they would have the key to the whole question, and shut us out of this very great factor of our fisheries. That Blaine-Bond treaty, of which so mach has been spoken, only permitted the people of Newfoundland to get their codfish caught in their own waters into the United States markets free. There ara about 5.350 coast miles of fisheries belonging to British Amer- ica, of which about 2,000 miles are on the cossts of Nowfoundiand. The United States, north of Cape Hatteras, has about 1,070 miles. Weown about 3,329 miles. Now, these British American fisheries that we sometimes think so littl: of, are exceed- ly valuable when compsiread with those of other countries. The sea fisheries of the world produce annually fish to the value

You can see how valuable our fisheries are, and if we were to ait idly and quietly by and allow the whole Canadian fisheries to be paralyzed without asserting the leyit- imate rights that we have to the fisheries, or without calling on the psople of New- foundland to carry out the promise they mide when this Act was passed, we

would deserve to lose them. I want to emphasizs ths. fact that it would have been perfectly impossible for them

tu get their Act sanctioned unless they had made it a condition precedent that the rights of the Canadian fishermen should not be. interfered with. Newfoundland owns vessels other than those which have ‘heir headquarters in Newfoundland ports. Among them are vessels owned in Dandee and Glasgow, and it is is simply absurd to supp #e that a vessel from Lanenburg, fly- ing the British fleg, should be denied the privilege of procuring bait in a Newfound- land port, when a Dandes vessel would ex-

perience no such diflisulty. We have al- lowel this question to remvip unsettled from season to season hoping that the Gov-

ernmeut of Newfoundland would come to its senses, and that we could get along amicably together; but something had to be done when they went so far as to imprison some of our people. Numbers of fishing vessels from our Maritime Province ports have lost a year’s tishing. Do you think that those men can go without being paid for that loss ? There is no doubt ia my mind that when the queston comes before & judicial tribunal the Government of Newfoundland will have to pay these men for the losses they have sustained through being robbed of their rights. Very soon the Newfoundland Government will be called upon, under a judicial decision, to indemnify these men. Now, with regard to these French fisheries, which the New- foundlanders. think they can wipe out by their legislation, it is simply absurd to think that the French Government will be affscted by any action that they may take. If it was necessary to put a bounty of forty francs per quintal on the fish caught by their fishermen, they would grant it in order to protect those fisheries, and when you find 4 premium like that offered they will get bait. They did get bait all through, and they will coutinue to get it. lt is unfortunate, no doubt, for Newfound- land that those old French treaty rights exist. It is unfortunate for us that some treaties were ever made, but treaties must be observed, and the French Government could not understand how two hundred thousand people in the Island of Newfound- land could influence the policy of the Im- perial Goverament. They could influence the Imperial Government if they were im- pored upon, but there is no evidence that they haveg been imposed upon. These questions must necessarily aris be- tween nations, and | daresay some time or other the British Government will be able to settle this difficulty of the Freuch chore. ‘It is an important question, but it never would have taken any such course as it has

followed if a fishery which was not 1 cognized when the treaty was made had r +t grown | up and become a very important ranch of | the in-shore fisheries of Newfound] od —that } is, the lobster fishery. The French ishermen | came in and found the lobster trap set and | took then up and went on with © 4eir — he following statement of the exports of pro- duets of the Newfoundland fisherie: in 1882 shows the importance of the cod fish ry : 134,242

giving an annual average of the t sheries of | $7,901,370. The product of 1) French tisheries is not more than one-fifth of that— about $1,390,000. In 1879 they iad 7,168

men and 177 vessels engaged in th» fishery. The tonnage was 27,865 tons, and he catch amounted to 369,628 quintals. Tk it cannot materially interfere with the pri 2 of lish throygboat the world. If it were \iped out entirely it would have very little flect, be- canee a very important factor enters into the fureign market—the fisheries of Norway. Therefore, it is not a matter of euch vital im-

portance aa might be thought by the New-

foandland fishermen. - The New oundland

Government have aleo cultivated the bank

fisheries by granting a bounty of $f per ton on all vessels engaged in the indust y. They

have not cultivated it as we have « ove under our policy adopted in 1879, which hws resalt-

ed iu creating the finest fleet of fish ng vessels iu the world, Our fishermen who, ‘rom. boy-

hood to manhood, and manhvod to old‘ age,

have been accustomed to v.sit th» shores of Newfoundland every year, and tra’ing with

the people of the Island, could not tnderstand why they were refused privileges which they bed enjoyed all their lives. They went thee as usaal to get bait and catch fish, but were refused the privileges which were accorded to foreizneis lf we were to stand by and see our fishermen treated in that way we would

not be doing our duty. It is true when two

men or two provinces or two nations quarrel

necessarily reprisals are made, but { hope that better feeling will prevail, and thet we may be able to get a renewal of our old trade relations with Newfoundland. We had a nodjus vivendi by which we could have gone on and continued the trade between us until matters were settled. (ur inter- ference with the Blaine-Bond treaty has been referred to. Now, they sre only a small population of two hundred thousand,

while we are a people of five miilion. Ia ali matters of trade between this country and the United States we have treated Newfoundland as one of the family. Through the perseverance, energy, tact and talent of our representatives, and the facte which were adduced at Halifax, we were awarded $5,500,000 for the use of our fisheries for ten years, and of that sum New- foundland got $1,000,000. Had Canada gone to ths United States and tried to make a treaty without including Newfoundland the Islanders would have had reason to complaia, and would have been justified in trying to make a treaty for themselves. Even though we had been go unwise, selfish and unpatriotic as to attempt to make a treaty without in- cluding Newfoundland, the Imperial Govern- ment would have stepped in aad compelled ua to consider the interests of our sister colony. That being the case, it was but right for the British Minister at Washington to ask the Canadian Government if we were satisfled with the Plaine-Bond Treaty, and our Govern- ment very properly said no. Before Con- federation | happened to be a member of the Government of Prince Edward Island, and we thought we could make a trade arrange- ment with tho United States. At that time we imposed light dues and harbor dues, which were hard on the United States fisher- men. A United States fishing vessel would come to one of our ports and pay ten cents per ton, then visit a New Brunswick port and pay ten cents there, and a port io another province and pay similar dues there. After Confederation, all the provinces that entered the union at that time made lights free, but we still kept on the ten cents a ton in Prince Edward Island. I was sent to Wash- ington to make a trade arrangement and we offered to take off this ten ceuts a ton and make other concessions, As scoou as I came before the Committee on Foreign Relations I found that we had no power, and when I went to Sic Edward Thornton he rebuked me aod showed me that we had no power to enter into such an arrangement except ino

conjanction with the other colonies. The

Government of Canada have done evervthing

they possibly could to meet this difficulty

without losing their self-respect, and I think

it is hardly to be expected that we should sit quietly by aud allow Newfoundland to make a treaty which would give special privileges

to the United States from which we were ex-

clucied. My hon. friend from Shell River’ refers to a pamphlet which was distributed

here two or three years ago. That pamphlet

had no bearing on this particular question. It

related to the fisheries, but only to the in-

spection ef fish. We used to subject New-

foundland fish to inspection when they

came to our ports, and it was represe nted

by the Board of Trade of Montreal that this

iavolved a useless expenditure, so far as the

user was concerned, because the inspection

law of Newfoundland was so strict that it

could safely be accepted all over the country.

This fact was represented to the Govern-

ment by the Board of Trade and their view

was adopted. I do not know how you

can stup smuggling from St. Pierre, unless

you adopt the idea of an old friend of mine.

There was at one time a great deal of tea

smuggle! into Nova Scotia, and he“ said

there-was but one way to stop it—take off the

duty. Idonot know any other way to stop

smuggling from St. Pierre. It is very hard } for tae Newfoundlanders; but I see no other way of putting a stop toit. A few years ago, a great «deal of coal vil was smuggled across the St. Lawrence into this country. When the wind blew in a certain direction it was surpris- ing how many barrels of coal oil floated across the river. I do not see, either, how the few thousand quintals of ‘ish that the Feench fisher- men catch in Newfoundtand waters can be relucead, because it is well known that other bait will do, even though they could be prevented from procuring bait under the New- foundiand law; the only difference is that it is not so easy to get it. When it was necessary for our fishermen, who had missed theic bait at Newfoundland, to fit away for their second trip, bait was found in Cape Briton, and carried over the new line ef rail way therein to the vessels at the Straits of Canso and other places. 1 mention this fact to show how matters of this kind can be met under difficulties. But this is not the legiti- mate way, nor should our fishermen be com- peiied to this makeshift. It was hardly to be expected that we could sleep on our rights under such a state of affairs, particularly when the Crown law oificers of England were of opinion we had a perfect right to take bait on the Newfoundland coast. In conclusion, permit me to say I trust we shall soon resume friendly relations with our friends and neighbors in Newfoundland, and that in the meantime | think it would be a matter to be regretted that any further unpleasantest should occur. I also hope sooner or later a condition of affairs may arise in the public mind of her people which may find represent- atives from among them sitting with us in’
