We see little reason why the gov-

ernment should not see fit to step in
and bring the Salt Lakes area up to
the standard that others in the prov-
ince now enjoy.

We know for sure the operator of

the ferry that once carried out regu-
lar runs—up to 6,000 people per sum-
mer—to the lake would be happy to
start up again if he had somewhere
decent to take his passengers.

With our big expansion in the
tourist industry this location could be

well promoted and subsequently turn

out to bé a highly favorable place to
spend a day in the sun.

The water at the lake used to run
temperatures as high as 74 degrees
and if the diving stand, wharf and
bathhouses were repaired, the water

cleaned, some chairs and tables pro-

vided and some clean sand supplied
we are certain Salt Lakes would again
turn out to be a popular attraction.
Perhaps the Chamber of Com-
merce would be willing to go after
the government. In any case, the pro-
vincial government should be made —
aware of the situation at once. The
people of this area are entitled to a
bigger selection. of picnicareas than

they now have in the immediate area.

Absurd argument

tives. Yet the more said on the
subject, the thicker fly the
charges of Government disre-
gard of Parliament.

It is extremely difficult for
the Government to crack down
on this transparent tactic of
harassment and embarrass-
ment which is preventing in-
troduction of other important
legislation.

The Treasury Branch has
been leaning over backwards
in letting the defense discus-
sion roam and drift in absurd-
ity. This clearly must not be
tolerated if the 26th Parlia-
ment is to avoid the fate of its
impotent predecessor,

Having made provisions for
& continued and practically
unlimited discussion of all de-
fense matters (including the
framework of policy) in a spec-
ial committee, the Government
is now fully justified to prod
the House into other areas of
equal urgency, Continuation of
the general debate of defense,
as the repetitiveness of con-
fused “arguments” has amply
shown, would be a sheer waste
of. time,

‘In order to have an intelli-
gent discussion In the House of
Commons, and through the
of the country,” Defence Min-
ister Hellyer pointed out, “a
Brent deal more information
would have to be made avall-
able, and 2 much more detail-
ed ‘examination of the facts
would have to take place by a
committee especially set up to
spend n lot of time and energy
on the atudy of that informa-
tlon.”

To perpetuate the emotionn!
pitch of the debate, slemming
mostly from Ignorance of frets,
would get the House and the
country nowhere,

Considering that “for the
Inst threg or four years the
Canndian people and the Can-
adian Parliament have bean
starved of rol Information on
which, they could base an in«
toligent opinion," the present
ndministration's endeavor to
make available “ng much in-
formation as can be provided
without violating the scourity
regulations" is, I think, the
most sonalble course to take,

Those in the Opposltion who
try to brand Jt a8 “arropaneo"
or curtamont of the rights of
Parlnmnont merely demonstrate
pole unwillingness to face the
acta,

Salt Lakes, put in good shape, would
fill the bill to some extent indeed.

In these circumstances it is
quite legitimate to suspect that
the Opposition has a vested in-~
terest in keeping defense mat-
ters shrouded in ignorance, for
a widespread knowledge of the
basic facts would probably play
havoc with its main line of at-
tack on the present Govern-
ment.

In this particular matter the
Opposition apparently regards
ignorance as political bliss, for
it gives it a great platitude in
playing loose and fast with
emotion-laden slogans which
have little.or nothing in com-
mon with reality. Hence the
dogged resistance to the “folly
to be wise”.

It. seems to me that the best
way out of the dilemma would
be for the Government leaders
to run this blockade of hypoc-
risy,

I don’t think that many
people —- including those who
tend to give credence to what
they want to believe rather
than to facts — would object
to a clear and authoritative
expose of the whole Issue out-
side the Commons,

The Government should not
let itself be Ragged by a super-
sensitvity to the'Philistine cries
of “arrogance”.

Vital salmon treaty up for review

By BEN WARD —
OTTAWA ‘(?) — A vital inter-
national treaty which: ‘pro-
tects Canada’s rich Pacific sal-
mon industry comes up for re-

view at a conference in Wash-

ington opening today.
Canada, United States. and

Japan are signers of the North

Pacific Fisheries Convention

‘under which North American
‘salmon, in the eastern ‘Pacific
‘are pratetted from exploitation
‘by modern fishing fleets on the

high seas.

The 10-year treaty expires in
June, 1964, and the Washing-
ton conference will negotiate

the terms of a 10-year exten
sion.

Sources here say Canada and
the United States likely will
plug for an extension of the
pact without revision. A recent
Tokyo report said Japan is ex-
pected to ask that the absten-
tion clauses, which mainly af-
fect Japan, be dropped or eas-
ed. A compromise is expected.

The treaty amounts to little
more than a means of control-
ling Japanese fishing on North
America’s side of the Pacific
Ocean. It was negotiated at.a
time when the Japanese were
seeking new grounds for their

growing fishing fleet, now one:

of the world’s largest and
efficient.

DRAWS LINE

Chief clause is one

draws a line through the Paci-
fic, roughly from the Bering.
Strait south. Japan agreed not
to fish for salmon east of this

most

line and to abstain from tak-—

ing halibut and herring unles

and American fishermen,

staff that studies various fish-

fic and decides whether they

Stention clause.

Colunibia’s

commission recommended to
the governments involved that
these two areas be opened to
the Japanese.

Although the U.S. quickly
consented, the Diefenbaker

-government withheld Cana-

dian action on the proposal.
Japan _ formally’: protested.
When the Pearson govern-
government took office in
April one of its first moves was
to approve the recommenda-

. tion, despite protests from the

biggest fishermen’s union in
B.C.
OPPPOSITION COMPLAINED
There were Opposition com-
plaints later in Parliament
that the government should
not have given its approval
without first submitting the
matter to the Commons for

‘its views. Government sources

said further delay would have
been unthinkable in view of
the clear terms set out in the

' treaty, and that Canada had
no choice but to go along with

.the recommendation.

Packsack

In the case of the eastern
Bering, Canada and the USS.
were taking 4,000,000 pounds of
halibut a year. Scientists put
the allowable annual harvest
at 7,000,000 pounds.

Herring stocks off Queen
Charlotte Island were practic-
aly untouched. Apart from

- 1957; when 600 tons were taken,
- Canadian fishing boats prac-

tically ignored the area. Even
the. Japanese have as yet
shown no interest in this stock,
although it now is available
to them,

But despite the recent atten-
tion tc those two areas, the
most important part of the
treaty is that involving salmon.

Japan itself has no salmon
rivers of importance but it has
an important salmon industry
based on catches by its ocean

fleet. The vessels take the fish

SALMON DON’T ROAM
An important discovery some

‘years back was that Asian sal-

mon which run.to sea stay in

eastern Pacific. There is some ,

outnumber the North American:
stock’ bout 4:to 1: .
Thus Japan’s salmon catches
consist of fish from Russia’s
east coast. Russia has been
campaigning against the tak-
ing of salmon on the high seas
and has excluded Japanese
boats from the Sea of Okhotsk.
Like Canada and the US.,
Russia would prefer to limit
salmon fishing tc the inland
rivers where the salmon return
to spawn after three or four
years spent fattening at sea, It
is the simplest and most eco-
nomical way to harvest them.
Because of its campaign
against taking salmon at sea,
Russia has refrained from in-
terfering with North American
salmon fattening in the eas-
tern Pacific. |
AS a result of-all this, Russia

.looks with disfavor upon the

Canada-U.S.-Japan pact and
would like to see it ended, tak-
ing Japanese pressure off Rus-
sian salmon stocks.

Canadian fisheries men are

appalled at the thought. Their
studies have shown that when
B.C. salmon run to sea they
congregate in two or three
known areas a few hundred
miles out, highly vulnerable to
fishing fleets.
* One authority here was ask-
ed what would happen in the
stheoretical event that both
Japan and Russia turned sal-
mon fleets loose in the eastern
Pacific.

“Our salmon industry might
last five years,” he replied.
“After that it wouldn't be
worth keeping the packing
plants staffed.”
