"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than ‘ the Weakest ink." CHARLOTTEIUWN. SATURDAY, FEB. 5. 194i ‘Fishery Prospects At the East Coast Fisheries Conference at Halifax this week the fact was brought ‘out that Canada's salt fish production is continu- ing at a vary high level, but demands in western hemisphere markets have been so ‘great tllfll producers have had to pass uplpossible mfltlleli in European countries. Canadian trade com- missioners overseas have therefore been “asked ‘to refrain temporarily from active promotion 0f the salt fish business in their districts. Pros- pects for developing new markets in 1949 would not be known until the year's trend in fish production became definite some time during the spring. This news accentuates the importance of the establishment here next summer of a cen- tral artificial cod-drying plant, coupled with the Provincial Government project to provide bait storage facilities which will be completed by mid-April. These plants will be on a scale large enough to meet the requirements of all our cod fishermen. With expanding markets on this con- tinent for their product, the outlook is decidedly promising. Incidentally, it was stated at the Hali- fax conference that the shortage of bait In NOW Scatia, on which our lsland fishermen have had to depend at certain seasons, has necessitated the transportation of large bait supplies from the Pacific Coast. The Federal Government has agreed to pay transportation charges of about $65,000 in moving the bait. Elsewhere in today's issue appears a report of the address given at the conference by Mr. Sidney Burhoe, president of the Prince Edward lsland Fisheries Federation. Mr. Burhoe is a strong advocate of a national policy of compul- sory inspection and grading of all canned fish and fish products. He made it clear that he was voicing his,own opinions, and not necessarily those of the Federation as a whole. But there should be no dispute as to the need of improving production and grading methods by every prac- ticable means to meet the intensive competition in this branch of the industry. The 00st 0f Houses-And Cars The Financial Post takes a backward glance to 40 years ago "when the more sophisticated horse was getting over his fright at an automo- bile," and compares the cost of cars with houses in that day, when both were almost entirely built wit-h hand tools, and then makes another com- parison today, with quite interesting results. Forty years ago the vehicle cost about as much as the average six-room frame house, the Post recalls, an.’ adds, "Today that frame house, still built almost entirely with hand tools and not greatly changed inside or out, will cost around II I In. cars, however, there is a startingly dif- ferent story, the contemporary observes. "The price today is only one third to one quarter the cost of the standard small house, when gav- ernment taxes, not a factor in 1910 car prices are subtracted." And cars have changed a great deal, for the better, since that time. The Post says that "if these modern cars had to be built with the hand tools of 1910 they would cost at least $60,000 each." Perhaps there is a lesson there for the home building industry. While the auto manufacturers found new tools and new methods of mass pro- duction to reduce costs the home construction people are still using the some old tools and methods. Aluminum Butter Wrapper At any Canadian grocery one of these days, one may get a pound of biltter neatly done up in aluminum. The aluminum is light -- it weighs no more than a breath —- but it keeps the butter sweet longer than the regular parchment wrap- per does. As much as 400 per cent longer. The Bacteriology and Dairy Research Di- vision, Science Service,‘ Dominion Department of Agriculture, put the new wrapper through lab- oratory tests recently ond it passed them all with high marks. By treating the aluminum on both sides to prevent corrosion by brine and by lining the aluminum with a very lightweight parchment, any chance of a metallic taste on the butter sur- faco has been eliminated. Comparisons of the aluminum wrap with a parchment wrap were made, using well-worked butter made from fresh, sweet cream and cam- mercial creamery butter. The prints were wrap- pad by hand and kept at 40 degrees and 60 de- grees Fahrenheit for 28 days. Prints were also held in apple and potato storage roams at 39 degrees. At both the first two mentioned tempera- tures, flavour scores for the “surface butter of rints in tho aluminum wrap were one to two points higher than for butter in parchment. Ex- cept for one lot held at 60 degrees, the alumin- um wrapped butter maintained the same flavour score at tho surface as for the interior of the print. With parchment, the flavour score was always at least one point lower at the surface than for the interior. ' ln apple and potato storage room's, parch- mont-wroppod butter lost two and one points, respectively, in flavour score, while there was no loss of flavour score for butter in "aluminum, nor was thoro any indication of absorption of odours or flavours from other products. Aluminum wrapping agave complete protec- tion to butter exposed to lrect and indirect sun- pgm for]; days, wiiih butter in parchment de- yqbgfltall flavours at the surface and lost a "d, g1 ‘no points in flavour score after y“ "Rum hours gxposuro to direct sunlight. lt also developed definite, oxidized flavours af- ter one and a half hours exposure to ‘sunlight. The average loss of weight per pound print for the aluminum wrap was one-third less for parchment at 40 degrees and only one-fifth at 6O degrees. ' l There was a definite deepening of the col- our at the parchment-wrapped butter surface, ‘but no visible colour change occurred with the aluminum wrap. J EDITORIAL NOI ES f, Tomorrow, 5th.

Was the father of income tax. At a time of great domestic and foreign misfortunes Britain was practically at the end of her tether financially. She had tapped every sources of revenue when Sir Robert hit upon the idea of restoring Free Trade in foodstuffs to encour- age manufacturers by plentiful cheap labour in the cities. This showed new strength of manu- facturing as opposed to the farm or landed in- terests, and was followed by an lncome Tax Act providing for a levy on every man's income of $500 per annurn upwards. Sir Robert claimed it would be only a temporary tax to be removed as soon as the wartime financial muddle had been cleared up. But it never has been removed; rather it has been expanded and succession du- tics added as wall. Sir Robert retired before the great new Liberal wave in 1846, and died from the effects of a fall from his horse four years later.

This is of great, im- portance lo the people of Print-a Edward Island, owing lo the fact that the Island bacon hogs are du- cidedly supetlor to those of tho other Canadian Provinces nnd of the United Slates as well. For some reason, we seem to luck lhe'an'ihiil- lion to work up an Island hog monopoly, due. lbeliove. very large- ly to the fact that the Provincial Government is afraid that if we in- crease our hog population the limo might come when llie Northwest would not be Willing to scll us nil the barley and oals that we should require. In this connection if ls well to re- membcr that ll ls only tho mnfirrr of u few years when lllt‘ Rocky Mountain Watershed will have been turned eastward ln sufficient- ly large quantities to irrigate lhnl very rich but dry area in southern Alberta, where the black sail, lo my personal knowledge. ls quite deep, and with ample water will be the realest grain producer 1n the Wes .

Nor may ll be forgotten lllfll when we consider the question of bringing grain to P. E. I. from the West there will be lwo routes lo consider-namely, via Port Arthur and the Hudson Bay. Moreover. If the Ungavn steel prodution is rlcr- veloped as Montreal and Toronto seem to expecf, we shall have in the lVlarllimes a large number of vessels built to curry Iron. which, without notice. can be made to carry grain equally well.

As was demonstrated ln the third article of this series, however. the greatest conceivable increase ln our sales la the United States could NOT maintain full employment. or anything approaching it. in Canada, Canada's employment and income can be maintained only by those mar. kefs which absorb Canadian products that have an "high laboupqon. _ lent". and those markets lie in the Sterling Area. Every practical and realistic American should welcome measures which Canada may find necessary to maintain her Sterling Area markets. because the mlllfjfg defence of the United Slates itself is dependent. upon a strong Canada. and a Canada impoverished by a loss-of her Sterling Area markets can be of no use as a defence to the United Slates. 8. The measures which we must undertake lri order to maintain our Sterling Area markets. are precisely the some as those outlined nbuvs u irecessary to govern our trade with the United States: we must. buyer much from the Sterling Area as ive would cell to the Sterling Areas, be. cause they can buy from us only as much as they sell lo us. 9. The practical application of the rule of “business on a buslneu busts", will result in ille switching of the bulk of Canadian purchases nbrancl. away from the U. S., and to the United Kingdom and otlni- Sterling Area countries. 10. ll is merely recognition of physical facts. lo recognize that Ceri- ada and the United States have very much lhe same resources and vsi-y much the same circumstances; they have parallel economies. and parsl- lel economies are competitive economies. We are friendly competitors, certainly! But. Canada can grow rind prosper only by following the same road and undertaking the same things that. the United Slates undertook many years ago. There is no basis for exchange between the two coun- tries except as Canada lags behind the United Slates lll progress, apil contents itself with n prlmillvo economy. We can not, as the small boy said of the Chinese, “take in each OLl10X"S washing, for R living." 11. Canada's economy aupplemen those of the Sterling Area; in produce what they do not, they produce what. uge do riot. Tliereforr. the Sterling Area is u natural market for Canada, and Canada 1S a nu- tural market for the Sterling Area.
