fax Experimental station. we are increasing our research work in Newfoundland.

In Newfoundland

"The director of our Halifax Sta- tion, Dr. S. A. Beatty. is visiting Newfc-undland to assess the im- mediate needs of the industry in- sofar as the application of our re- search to processing methods IS concerned. This summer three sen- ior technologlsts from Dr. Beatty's st.ation.wiii be stationed there to provide infcrmation and technical advice to the industry. These men will be attached to the Newfound- land Research Station for a con- siderable period.

"It is planned also to send a sen- ior member of the Ga.-ape Experi- mental Station to Newfoundland to assess the possibility of applying the results of the Board's experi- ments in light salted fish produc- tion. These experiments have reach- ed the commercial pilot plant stage in the Gaspc area. where the funda- mental research on this problem was undertaken. Our biological stud- ies in Newfoundland are being ex- panded as fast as facilities and staff

permit. . - "The Bonavlsts Bay long-lkiing experiment already has passed

through highly successful stages and we intend to continue that project during 1951. other tech- nological and biological work in that Province is now being mapped out. and -we look forward to achieving good results for the Newfoundland industry. Newfoundland is entitled to, and will receive, all of the ser- vices the Department and the Board are rendering elsewhere in Canada.

"of particular satisfaction is the progress being made in recent months in applying the work of our new Inspection and consumer ser- vice. This phase of our programme is highly important. for in the final analysis the continuing success of the industry will depend on its ab- ility to market top quality products to consumers who have been taught how to use them. Maintaining qual- ity. in these days of rigid consume: standards. is more essential than ever before." . . . . But getting fish in good shape to consumers is one thing. Encouraging increased use of fish foods in homes, hotels. res- taurarits. institutions and other es- tablislunents is quite another. our consumer education work. there- fore. has a high degree of priority in our operations.. i

"Through our test. utchen st Ot- tawa -we have trained a small staff of graduate home economists in fish cookery. and we have a pro- gramme, soon to be put into oper- atlon, which provides for demon- stration and lecture work in various parts of Canada." . . . .

Trawler Policy

Mr. MacNsught. went on to say that if the North American market is to be developed, greater quan- tities of fish than are today being produced will be required. This is why. about a year ago. the Depart- ment revised its trawler policy so as to promote an crderly expansion of catching fmcllltles.

"It is evident now that the in- dustry is taking advantage of the new policy and is expanding its trawler fleet." he said. "A recent survey showed that seven f.l's.wlers are being built in Osnsda and three are being built in the United King- dom for the Canadian fishing in- dustry. All these vessels are of the large trawler type - 100 feet or more in length. The seven keels which have been laid in Canada permits. under the new policy. the licensing of the same nu.-nbcr of second-hand tnwlers it bought either in the United Kingdom or in the United States and rcgisteped in Canada after payment of duty.

"In edition. the industry is con- templatin the construction of two more trswlers in Canada and seven in the United Kingdom. This addi- tional construction. if proceeded with, would add another nine traw- lers to the fleet. or 'eleven If Id- vantagc is taken of the opportunity to license second-hand vessels from thrvnited states or the United Kingdom.

Snialsr Type Drsuers

"The Department has also at- tunpfad to encourage construction of the smaller type cl dngger. Un- der a scheme began during wr.-time and continued in the post-war pit: lots. the Federal Government pays to fishermbn. through Provincial Fisher-men's boon Boards up to ma pet gross ton towards the construc- tlon of fishing vessels otming with- in i.he.drIner or long-liner class.

Minister ,.oposes to recommend to Cabinet that the limits bi: widen- edt to permit subsidies being paid for long-linen or drunore down to 40 feet. in length. This. If ap- proved. should be at value to many more Ilrhunnen in Newfoundland, and the Msritlmes.

r-' In-in Treaty

"I believe that the future holds rich proml for the development. of the Atlantic fisheries. This opinion scans to be shared by other coun- tries. particularly iihose which two years no signed the International Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Treaty. This instrument. as you know. pro- vldes for the setting up ad on in-

corned with conservation practices which may later be applied in the high son.

"The treaty has been ratified by 1 sufficient number of countries to put it into force and there is a good possibility that this spring the sponsoring government - the Un- ited Statcs - may call a meeting at the countries concerned to dis- cuss iihe establishment of a Com- mission."

Mr. MacNnugtht recalled that in 1000 the value of fish exports was 311,000,000. Twenty-five years later exports had increased to s3'.',ooo.- 000: Last year they were -worth 3llB,000,000. "In the last twelve months the fishing industry of Can- ads as a whole reached its highest peak in terms of production and value. The marketed value of our fisheries products reached 3178.000.- 000 as against 8I68,000.000 in the previous year. The continued growth was fairly general in all areas with the exception of Newfoundland. which had a lower catch and lower prices than in the previous year.

"The catch of Newfountiland cod going into salted production was substantially lower last year. There was a significant increase, how- ever, in the production of frozen fish of all species. The freezings were nearly fifty per cent more than that of 1949. and this is a good indication that Newfoundland is taking advantage of the better market opportunities thLs type cf product offers. To the 8l'l8.000.000. the Newfoundland -fishing industry contributed 828000.000 and the Maritimes and Quebec soo.oco.ooo.

"That means of your growth is of course partly a price rise but it is much more: it is a relil physical ex- pansion in the industry."-

Defence Requirements

Mr. Ms.cNaug-ht noted that Car.- ads. is ncw spending almost ten per cent of the national income on de- fence. "and we shall hurriedly try to increase that proportion. We shall have to d-o this not because we wish it but because external forces are driving us apparently in this direction.

"Again in our history external forces are beginning to hcld us back and other developments may have to be retarded. Even with our pre- sent defence program. certain prod- ucts are beccming scarce and will gradually be less available for civ- ilian use. " ' .

"This is the price we pay for de- fence. other developments are apt to be halted or deferred. Part of this deferrment is necessary but it is not always wise. This time. I be- lieve the West in its struggle with Communism will have to try to re- tain'”as"mii1ch as”possible of its free- dom and progress as well as its de- fence. Without freedom the hcait -will go out of defence an;.nv:iy and without economic progress the slnews of defence will be lost. too. I appreciate that this is a com- plex undertaking but do believe it has to be faced squarely. We can- not bc boo oautious nor can we postpone everything for defence.

"The true defence of the western world depends not only on the material of war. We must be able at some point to continue our econ- omic advance. and to offer some- thing to Africa and Asia. some- thing both material and moral. that the dictates-ships cannot. provide them. In short. we must maintain some economic progressives-toss and the degree of freedom that has to go with this."

- one of the industries that gives fiull meaning to the phrase "Can- ada Unlimited" is the fisheries. Mr. MscNaught continued. "hi my judgment you are going to see this enterprise enter into a completely new era - an era that will see it grow steadily both as a provider of good livelihoods for its workers and as 0. source of food for our own and world needs.

"Both you in industry and -we in Government must keep well abreast of this continuing upward trend. Now. as never before, we have op- portunlties to consolidate our pos- lttlon."

other phases of the developments forecast in the Fisheries Minister's announcement of a general fisheries expansion programme in the House of Commons December. 1949. -were-reviewed by the speaker.

Predicts Cabinet Post

Mr. MscNsught was intrdduced by Hon. J. Wilfred. Arscnsult. Prov- incial Secretary. who prophesied that on June ll. 1951 the ember from Prince County would become a Minister in the Federal Cabinet.

Mr. Arsensult selected June ll because he noted that Mr. Mac- Nought appeared to have a. special affinity for the number eleven. on June fl. 1002. he had entered the Lconnubishstste: on June if. 1945 he was elected the Federal Cavem- msnt and on um 11. 1948 he was named Parliamentary A " t to the Federal Minister of rishcrlcs. . Mr. Macfinught and so-. Ai-semuit both spoke in English end French for the benefit of the French-spub tng delegates. , . .
