The Maritime Fish corporation and The National Fish 00.. Ltd" are subsidiaries of the American Fish Co? asked J-Ion. H. H. Stevens. Vtditness answered in the affirm- a lve.

Realizing the decline in the fish dmsiness, the association had stud- ied the situation thoroughly. said, wi . It has concluded if the government would make an annual. grant of $103,000 per year. for a well ; r ‘ated -and= comprehensive ad-‘ vertlsing campaign Canadian citiz- "ens would bednducedsto c 100900.000 pounds more of fish each yosr.

Answering the Commission, wit- ness said the per caplta consump- tion in Canada- annually was 20 pounds. Netherlands 55 pounds. Norway .70 pounds. Ireland '10 -p0lmds and the West Indies 30 to 35 pounds.

Consumption Fallen Oif

In thcvpast few years, the trend in fish u umpti in Canada an- nually has declined. ' The advertising campaign to eat more fish should give particular at- tention to the large consuming dis- tricts ot Montreal and’ Toronto, Mr. Gould stated.

,The feeilng- was farmers and other industries had been given as- sistance by the Government for the marketing of their particular pro- ducts. The fishing industry consid- ered it was "its tum." said Mr. Gould. _

Members of the association were not financially able ‘to sponsor a campaign or the-sire" required, wit- ness snswered the commission.

In s. campaign to eat more fish, the association members though laid the foundation for rehabilita- tion of this declining industry, said witness.

Probably about 70 percent of fish consumed in Canada wrr fresh fish as compared to salt and dried fish. stated Mr. Gould. About two-thirds of this 70 percent consumed was salt water fish.

The fishing industry was "the most actively disorganized busin- ess" in Canada. said Mr. Gould.

Hon. Mr. Stevens

Hon. H. H. Stevens said in‘ two years one large fish company in the milllflwo bad handled an average annually of 38,000,000 pounds of fish. 0f which about 82,000,000 to 34,070,000 pounds was “trawler caught." The average. earnings for these trawler crews were most high as compared with the meagre or "less to nothing" returns received by the ordinary fishermen. The av- erage earnings per year for the captain. for instance, was $4.791 and so on down the line in accordance with the position of the crew mem- ber. Against these comaratlvely‘ high wages of trawler crews, as compared with the starvation re-

turns of ordinary fishermen. there was a deduction of $5 per week for 1196p or from $180 to $207 per sea- son. Wes there not a “scandalous discrepancy" between the wages re- ceived by the trawler crews and the returns of the poor ordinary inde- pendent fishermen? asked Mr. Ste- vans.

“I've heard worse cases than ,4

"I have heard of a man Having

After exploring every possible avenue of relief, it was decided to ask the Hon. Mr. Weir, Minister of Agriculture, to set up s local Mar- keting ‘Board, covering the five Provinces, under Section 9 of the Natural Products Marketing Act. i034. A conference with the Hon. Mr. Weir was arranged, and the gravity of the situation was ex- plained as best we could, with the great need for some prompt action. We appealed for action on his part under the provisions of section 9 of the Act as above quoted. s

The Minister was full aware of the necessity for ' scion, and anxious to do all in his power to assist, but pointed out difficulties in the way of setting up such a local board as we suggested. He was particularly anxious to be sure

support of a. very large percentage or the farmers in the different Provinces. He suggested our plan be prepared and submitted to the Federal Marketing Board for their approval.

The scheme was then completed and presented Yo the Marketing

not comply with all the require- ments, and was referred back to us with valuable suggestions, which are now incorporated in the scheme, which we now submit for your consideration, and we hope, favourable action. This is necessary if the board is to be of service in the handling of this year's crop.

"As we consider the scheme," said Mr. 'I‘rainor, "every feature will be explained as fully and as best we can. Before the scheme can be made effective, the Minister must be satisfied that the farmers are behind this movement. .

"Since arriving home, I have re- ceived s wire asking that e. peti- tion be signed at the meetings to be held. We have. therefore, pre- pared a suitable petition, which we hope will be signed by as large s number of farmers, dealers and brokers as possible.

In that charge. there was included an item 0f one and one-half cents for ad- mlnitratlen and selling while st the same time yin‘ the past five lean years-the‘ company had built up its reserve by $800,000 and set aside substantial amounts for reserves for trawiers.
