DECEMBER 9, Ambitious Plans, But- A forgotten class of men under the Jones Government has been our fishermen, for whom great things were planned by the Government's Advisory Reconstruction Committee three years ago. This committee recommended, among oth- er things, the establishment of a Provincial De- partment of Fisheries "under a suitable Minister who will administer the department with the as- sistance of two men or more as the department expands, and a secretarial staff." The assist- ants of the Fisheries Minister were to be‘ a dir- ector of Fisheries, together with a chief clerk, the latter to look alter records, compiling of sta- tistics, survey of markets, etc. The former was to be “a man having both scientific and prac- tical experience in the various phases of the industry, who would act as field man for the pro- motion af improved methods of fish handling, packaging, grading, etc." The estimated cost ta the Province of the new Department was $11,500. The new officials were to make a detailed survey of the requirements necessary to better fish production in the Province, the main items of such a survey being: (a) improvement of boat harbours to ac- commodate larger fishing boats, or the creation of new boat harbours adjacent to the best fish- ing grounds where no such harbors exist. (b) Inspection of breakwaters and safe- guards far boat harbors with a view to repairs and improvement. (c) Erection of new plants for handling, storing and distributing fish, including fish piers, salt fish storage, canneries and cold stor- age. The committee recommended inclusion in the curriculum for vocational training of a course of studies that would include training in the best methods of commercial fishing, in proper methods of dressing, handling and packaging fish, in the technique of freezing and staring fish and in the operation of fish canning, etc. lt also recommended that investigation be made into the possibility of erecting a system of cold storage plants for the promotion of the marketing of fresh frozen fish, principally in fillet form; also that the new Department make an investigation and survey of the possibilities of setting up industries which are allied to the main fishing industry. Such a survey would in- clude the manufacture of certain types of fish- ing gear, as well as fish box shooks and the local manufacture of cans ta take core of all local business; also the setting up of a small chemical plant for the following purposes: l. Refinement of fish oils for medicinal use, the lower grades of which could be combined with imported vegetable oil for paint manufac- ture. i 2. Manufacture of glue from fish offal. 3. Production of fish meal. 4. Production and processing of Irish moss and kelp. What has the Jones Government done to implement these recommendations, which were tabled two years ago in the Legislature after the Committee members had been eulogized by the Premier for having done such an excellent job? The Government's outstanding achievement, so far as our fishermen are concerned, was prob- ably its action at the last session in insisting on imposing an additional three cents per gallon provincial gasoline tax, not even allowing a re- bate to either our farmers or fishermen for any purpose whatsoever. Bureaucracy 0n Rampage Speaking of the latest arbitrary moves of the King Government to meet the dollar short- age, the Fortnightly Law Journal says: "We have often warned that not only would the politician not willingly relinquish the power given him by the wartime opportunity for irre- sponsible government, but also that those who had begun as the tools of the politicians’ power lust and had ended up as the masters of the poli- ticiarrs would endeavour to postpone as long as possible the day when they would again find themselves faced with the necessity of finding useful employment. The fact .that much of this new des otism introduces measures which will tend ta essen the demand for manpower in pro- ductive enterprise lends credence to the thought that bureaucracy itself, staring demobilization in the face, may have had a hand in its design. "From the lawyers’ point of view it is not im- portant to debate whether the dollar shortage is an emergency or not, though it ought to be ap- parent that it is not. This is not the first time in Canadian history when there has been an adverse U. S. trade balance. ln fact it is to be doubted whether there has ever been a time when that has not been the case. Neither does it matter wheth- er the situation in which we find ourselves does not arise from the mistake of trying artificially ta maintain the parity of the Canadian dollar. The price of the Canadian dollar on the open market seems to answer that. Nor does ‘rt mat- ter that permitting the Canadian dollar to find its own level would provide an effective remedy. What does matter from our point of view is that, whether the politician or the bureaucrat is the guTding spirit, we find ourselves In a situation where the habit of wartime despotic government is being resorted to as a perfectly natural and ordinary routine of peacetime government. No excuses are offered. Evidently the politician and the sawdust Caesar of bureaucracy consider that . the public have become so indrrrated to tire slave ltatcanelhods of wartime that it will swallow the adaption u time methods as a regular incident of peacetime government. This is the product of the type of thinking that fought at the meeting of the Canadian Bar As- sociation at Ottawa in September against a resolution that indicated a knowledge that civil liberties were being invaded. But it is worse than that. Not only are the methods adopted the methods of government in a slave state, but the introduction of the measures by despotic de- cree without parliamentary consultation and de- bate is further proof, if such be nleeded, that the oligarchy, that has gorged on wartime despotic POW". now fecls itself safe to abandon even the , semblance of the forms of democratic govern- ment and blatantly resorts to despotism without even the blush of an excuse." é, tDIIORIAL notes _ One more day atrd then the election, Voting is a duty of citizenship.

I i’ I i‘ Industrial disputes in Britain since V. E. Day have caused a loss on an average of no more than one hour and ten minutes a year per work- or. This is revealed by statistics which Mr. lsuacs, the Minister of Labour, gave in the House of Commons recently. Mr. lsoacs said that only s-.x and a half million working days had been lost because of industrial disputes (including all un- official as well as official strikes) since May, i945. Since there are, on an average, l8 mil- lion people engaged in United Kingdom indus- _trres,_this is roughly equivalent to a lass in work- ing time par worker of lass than 3 hours ovv the two-and-a-half-year perior, or one hour and ten minutes for twelve months. These figures appear in a still better light when contrasted with than for tlra corresponding period after the First World War. At that time 89 l-Z mil- lion working days were lost-fifteen times more than the present post-war figures. . ' THE sugar/w.
