“No, I have no knowledge of eny personal animosity.”

Does Much Industry. In

No organization has done so much for the fishing industry of the Province as the Prince Edward Island Flshermerrl Federation, Mr. S. J. Burhoe told the Federation in his presidential address yester- day afternoon. The importance of the Federation to the fishermen of the Province lies in its being affll lated.with the Fisheries Council of Canada, an organization which llilh the respect and the confidence oi.’ the Department of Fisheries.

Mr. Burhoe referred to the mcct- ing of the East Coast Fisheries in Quebec City last February where the first steps were taken for in- duclng the Fisheries Price Support Board to render financial aid to the Province by purchases of Is- land canned fish such as chicken haddle. Purchases were made to the extent of 70 per cent cf the chicken haddle produced in 104.‘. That“ Mr. Burhoe sold. was not a fair basis for deciding the amount of the purchase to be made. Never- theless, it was of great benefit to the industry.

Suitable regulations for lne standardizing of the quality of fish products, processed in the Prov- ince. should be instituted. Mr. Bdr- hoe said. if the industry is to pros per. Fish consumption in Canada is very low compared to the consump- tlon of other protein foods and only a sustained and determined effort to improve the quality in every known way will restore confidence in the Island's fish pro- ducts. Markets are useless to the industry without a quality pro- duct.

Mr, Burhoe paid tribute to the Provincial Government for its cor- laboratlon in requesting the Flsn- eries Prices Support Board to make purchases of relief canned fish products.

“It may not be widely known," he slid. "that a motion was pass- ed on the floor of the Provincial House requesting that the Fisher- ies Price Support Board give aid to our Island fishermen. This was a great help and it is significant that two days after the sending of this resolution to Ottawa, the Fish- eries Prlce Support Board announ- ced its intention to make purchas- es of certain relief types of canned fish from the East Coast.” "Recently action has been taken by the directors of the Federation against the instituting of an Order in Council known as P. C. 359911. the present time. This says in prin- ciple that fish or fish products could not be exported, and by ex- port they meant ahlpments outside the Province, except they had been inspected or graded. In the first place your Federation GISBPPTOVEO of this Order in Council because of the fact that it came in the middle of a fishing season. We are told that we must not change horses in mid stream and likewise it is im- proper that the Department should consider changing its regulations in the middle of the fishing sea- son. Also it is considered that the passing of this Order in Council is placing the responsibility for ‘n- spection and grading principally on the shippers and assemblers of this Province. It is the opinion of many that a satisfactory system is one where the quality of the product is controlled from its source until it is fully processed. I am happy to say that the action taken by your Federation in having this matter changed until suitable discussion has taken place on it has been granted and these regulations are not in effect until at a later date and after the industry has had a chance to discuss it with the offi- clals of the Department of Fisher- lea. "These are probably the impor- tant matters dealt with during this present year. The industry is far from being in o sound position at the present time. While it is true that the consihnptlcn of flsh is in- creasing and in a favorable posi- tlon as regards fresh, or various ferrna of fresh fish, it is unfortun- ate that we have not the facilities of transportation nor at times the species of fish which can readily be turned into these markets which are demanding fresh fish at the present time. Our species lend themselves better to canning and in this respect we are not in a very favorable position as we turn our thoughts to 1949. The irony of tlic situation is the fact that many of our canned products are in demand on the export market. but these importing countries have not the hard currency or the dollars with which to make payment. While we had hoped this situation mlgnt have improved it seems now it will be perhaps three years before these principal importing countrieforo sufficiently recovered to make pur- chases of food stuff in this coun- try. Another alarming factor is the lack of fish or fish products being contracted for under the so-called Marshall Plan. The U. S. fisheries

constituted a considerable expense to the assembler, Mr. Tidmarsh said.

Urges Regulation

Mr. E. D. Fraser. Halifax, super- visor of fisheries for the Marl- times, said there was a big dif- ference between inspection and grading. Inspection meant that Class A lobsters were packed properly and fit for human con- sumption. It also meant that the lobsters in the Class A category were either "fancy" or "standard." The class B lobster was sub- standard and therefore not fit for human consumption. The meas- ure, w. Fraser said, was for the good of the industry as a whole. The conscientious and efficient packer had nothing to fear from the regulation which was meant to protect the good packer from those whose poor product was ser- iously hurtlng the industry.

Mir. Fraser said the Dominion Government had instituted in- spection of pickled fish in 193i and that the quality of the pro- duct had improved tremendously because of that legislation. The salt fish trade would not. consider going back to the old conditions prior to 1931. The canned fish in- dustry needs some control. After the inspection of canned lobsters was stopped. the quality of the product went down.

Improvement Needed

rt was his opinion. Mr. Fraser said, that the fishing industry in the Province was not taking full advantage of the many facilities which Dr. Hess. Halifax, had to offer it through the fish laborat- ory. Unless the quality of Can- adian fish is improved there ls not much use in trying to secure a footing for it on the competitive market.

lvlir. R. E. S. Hcman. Halifax. fish inspection laboratory, said the quality of Island fish prod- ucts has improved considerably since 1940 but. that there was still room for progress. He said he did not wish to appear "cynical" but

,he could not see the point in Mr.

T‘idma.rsh's objection to compuls- ory inspection of canned lobsters. If the Province put up nothln! but the best quality of lobsters. then it need fear no Class B's in its product.
