Big Possibilities

*“"The $3,546,000 loan to Gulf Gar-

4

vincial Fishermen’s Loan Board is the result of lengthy negotiations and exhaustive inquiry on the part of both the board and the provincial govern- ment. There is every reason to be- lieve that it represents, along with the federal contribution of 50 per ~ cent of -the overall $7,800,000 con-

tract, a solid investment in our in- ©

dustrial future. The fleet of steel trawlers to be built by Bathurst Marine Ltd. under '_ this arrangement will enable us to ~- :papitalize, as never before, on our

great fishery resources.

It will pro-

vide, when construction is completed,

for the employment. of over 700 per-_

sons in the boats and at the foods’

plant.

Meanwhile it will guarantee

200 to 225 jobs at Bathurst Marine for the next three years and will put

- about $2,500,000 of new money into |.

Even more important, how-

big ver are the long-range possibilities. _

This new development comes at'a

” time when there has been an upsurge

in the fisheries industry along the =~ whole Atlantic coast. Our'sister prov-~ ~ ncés are investing hugh sums in the enterprize. Foreign competition is still keen; but already, it is stated, Canadian fishermen harvest almost as much fish as all other fishing fleets from Europe working in the North- west Atlantic, including Soviet, Span- ‘isheand Portuguese fleets. There are’

‘. ~ gigns that Canadian fishermen are even expanding their activity in the

herring-grounds of

States. ‘The Soviet Union with its state- -—-directed—fishing-fleet,and-Spain. and.

Portugal, with their low-cost labor,

.

the New-England

are able to send large fleets to fish ' off the Grand Banks of Newfound-

land, the Gulf of St.. Lawrence, and. off the Labrador coast. However,

there, too, such long-range fisheries are-uneconomic by many standards. The French, with a territorial base at St: Pierre and Miquelon, off the south coast of Newfoundland, appear in a favored *position,. but their cat- ches amount to little more than 10

-

per cent of Canadian catches.

Atlantic fisheries, for Canadians,

«are in a fervent economically. There.

are plans to triple the Canadian groundfish catches in the next decade

- through use of bigger and more ef.

ficient trawlers, and of pushing for- ward the development of new pro- _ cessing techniques and wider. mar- kets. We are uniquely situated here

to exploit this great opportunity, if we have the'vision and initiative to do so. We believe that the new program at Georgetown.represents-a big-forward-

~ step in this direction, and we coii> gratulate all concerned in the negoti- |

ations to bring it to a head. bes ; Of Cardinal importance

_ One issue, at least, on which there

should be ‘no acrimonious wrangling ©

in Parliament is the high priority the government has attached to its edu- cational policies. All the parties rep- resented in the Holise are-agreed_as to the need for meeting this chal- lenge:- Differences are likely to be over matters of detail rather than of broad principles.

* The Throne.Speech noted oné_pit- fall by acknowledging that the ‘‘pres- sing obligation” to foster more ef- fective development of the nation’s human resources in-this field must

be achieved ‘while fully respecting

matters of education.” It outlined a four-point approach to the problem,

involving a program of Canadian

scholarships and bursaries; amend-

ments to the Students Loan Act; -

: “substantial increase’ in the feder- al financial aid paid to Canadian. uni-

versities, effective for the .1966-67 — scademic year; and, following con-

of the student and his parents. ‘Now, with regard to the third

point,’ Prime Minister Pearson has - i

announced ‘that grants to universities will be boosted, as an interim -meas- ure, to $100 million from the present $40 million in the 1966-67 year if Parliament approves. -This will bring the federal per capita grant to $5 from the present $2. Also, a special formula has been worked out by which more money will’ be given

' provinces with a high percentage of

_out-of-province students—a. formula

which has been sought particularly by the:Maritime provinces.

_ This program of aid to education —spurred on by the findings of. the Bladen Commission and the Economie Council of Canada—ties in with the

policies and social measures. It offers an opportunity for the House to for-

that its major concern is the inter- |

ests of the people of Canada. Much

“of history’s assessment of the party

leaders may well depend on the lead- ership they give in this matter.

Dairy Problems

Alternate shortages and surpluses have plagued the dairy industry for a long time now, and producers, for the most part, have accepted the prob- © lem philosophically. But as pointed out by President T. B. Cooper of the National Dairy Council of Canada at the council's ahnual meeting in Tor--

‘onto the other day, there is no rea-

son why they should. It is not a problem... brought-.about_ by... divine. dispensation, but by human ineffici- ency. Mr. Cooper put the onus on | the failiure of governments and the industry to plan soundly.

A prime weakness in setting dairy

policies, says this authotity, has been~|:

failure to assess the long-term out- look. All too often, political exped-

» iency is substituted for sound econom-

ic goals. The result has been, not the

‘ achievement of stability but a dras-

tiic cycle of shortages and surpluses which has not only affected markets

at home and abroad, but has been |

very costly to Canadian taxpayers.

The Canadian government gath- ered huge supplies of butter from 1956 to 1962, which it later exported at a loss of $33 million. In 1964 and

| 1965, however, Canada consumed |

-more butter than it produced and may

—have to import butter this year. Mr. Cooper termed it essential that more

flexible policies be developed to meet. changing demands of consumers.

Commendation was expressed at the -meeting of the federal govern- ment’s move to appoint .a national

dairy commission, which probably

- will mean a new approach to dairy

problems. Hope was expressed. that an early step of the commission would be to register all producers. But. there was another matter to which federal attention was directed. This was the need for pressing for removal of the U.S. quota on imports of Canadian cheddar cheese. As explained by Ontafio Agricul-

~-ture-Minister~William~Stewart;-t-he quota limits annual cheddar ship- |

ments to the United States to about 600,000 pounds. As a result, in 1964, Canada exported 731,200 pounds of cheddar. and other types of cheese to. the United States but imported al- most 2,000,000 pounds from that country. It is vital to the Canadian

‘dairy industry that this import quota ~ be eliminated or at. least increased.

This,-in-its way, is just-as_import-- ‘ant a matter as arranging a‘ f trade,auto deal with the neighborin republic, and it shouldn’t be any more difficult to negotiate. Now that Par- liament is in session, we should be hearing more on the subject from representatives of dairy constituen- cies. And more, too, about that cycle of butter. shortages and surpluses

that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.
