PLAGE
OF
FISHERMEN?
4
SINCE
fishermen
are
neither
day
workers
nor
capitalists,
they
often
give
little
thought
as
to
just
where
they
fit
into
the
picture
being
painted
by
the
clashing
schools
of
thought
in
the
general
economic
world.
Fishermen
spend
most
of
their
lives
at
sea
and)
in
doing
so,
may
not1
be
so
directly
squeezed'
in
the
changes
of
social
existence
as
recorded'
in
history.
This
does
not
mean
that
they
fail
to
discern
social
changes
at
Home-
and
abroad
but
they
do
realize
that,
as
matter

or

NEED
FOR
COASTGUARD
THE
VANCOUVER
NEWS-HERALD
reiterates
I
editorially
and'almost
in
the
same
words'as
the
Daily
News
has
advocated'
for
years
tile
formation
of
a
Canadian
Coastguard
Service
instead;
of
being
continually
dependent
upon
the
United'
States
Coastguard
vessels
which
have
to
leave
their
own
.stations
and
enter
British'
Columbia
waters
whenever
ships
get1
in
trouble
therein:
Says
the
News-Herald
:
"The;
Naval
Officers'
Association
of-British
Columbians'
urging
immediate
formation
of
a
Canadian
Coast

Instead,
two

vessels
had'
to

their

waters
to

"There
Is
little
credit
to
Canada
in
the
fact
that'

when
they
get

arc

It
is

bad
when
most
of-these

from
countries

Canadian
vessels,

own
coasts.
"The
naval
officers'
organization
also
suggests,
quite
sensibly,
th'at
a
properly
organized,
sea-going
coast
Guard'
Service
could
be
a
useful
auxiliary
to
the
Royal
Canadian
Navy.
In.
trie
event
of
war,
its
equipment
and,
personnel
could
be
of
great
value
to
the
navy.
As
it
would
likely
Have1
less
exacting
standards
than
the
navy
itself,
it
would'
be
more
likely
to
attract
young
recruits.
"AH
the
arguments
seem
to
be
in
favor
of
the'naval
officers'
recommendation.
The
surprise
Is
that
Canada
has
been
so
lax
in
setting
up
such
an
essential
branch
or
maritime
safety
and
protection."
