Saturday, Oct. 15, 1927 The essence of the constitutional declaration made by the Imperial Conferwice last November isvcontained in the Statement that the parliaments of the Dominions are no longer subordinate to the authoritw of the Parliament of Great Britain, says the Manitoba Free Press. In the article by Sir John Marriott, referred to yesterday, this definition of .equality among the parliaments was repre sented as a revolutionary and sinister innovation. That the change is radical and profound cannot be gainsaid; and it is understandable that to those who have held firmly to the belief that the Dominions should either be provinces Jn a centralized empire, or subordinate to the authority of the liritlsh Parliament, it should wear the sin ister significance which Sir John attaches to it. The acceptance by the people of the various Dritfsh nations of this new relationship brings into being an association of nations in 'which every nation possesses, potentially or actually, all the powers which any other nation in the association has, and in which no nation is subject to control either by any other nation or by the majority opinion of these nations in conference. There are those who try . to escape the necessity of appraising the consequences of this declaration by holding that it is a mere form of words, having no relation to actuality. But a study of the finding of the Dalfour -Committee shows a practical application of the principle thus set forth with respect to a number of important matters. Some of tJiese may be profitably considered. EACH COUNTRY INDEPENDENT It was formerly the rule in any international gathering in which the various Uritish nations wore represented, for the King to issue "unrestricted full powers" covering the whole Empire to the plenipotentiary nominated by the British Government, while plenipotentiaries appointed by the Dominions were given only "restricted full powers!' in respect only to the particular country which they directly represented. By reason of this the British plenipotentiary signed for the whole Empire; and to protect the Dominions it was necessary to include in the treaty a provision exempting the Domin ions unless they formally gave their consent. This procedure no longer exists. Hereafter, all full powers issued by the King will .correspond to the jurisdiction of the government recommending the appointment- Thus the, British representative will have full, powers only for Great Britain; the Canadian plenipotentiary will have full powers only for Canada; and so forth. Hereafter, in an international convention no plenipotentiary appointed by the government of one British country can, by his signature, bind any other Brijish country. The same principle applies in the change of title in the case of the British Government. It was formerly entitled "His Majesty's, Government" and it spoke for all His Majesty's Dominions. There is no longer within the British Commonwealth any government which is entitled to call itself simply His Majesty's Government.

SUPREMACY LOST IN MOMENT The British Parliament supreme over all the possession of the King; suddenly, almost in the twinkling of an eye, it becomes the Parliament only of Gre.it Britain and Northern Ireland. How could this happen in the absence of resolution or legislation authorizing this renunciation? There were in the Canadian Parliament last session eminent public men to the left of the speaker who wanted it distinctly understood that, in their opinion, Canada couldn't lose the blessed privilege of being subordinate and dependent by reason of any declaration of constitutional right such as that made at London last November. These questioners find it hard to understand that these declaration's constitute the recognition of a constitutional right which Is bound to govern, in the future, the decision of government and the action of parliaments. The British Parliament, whatever Its latent technical legal rights may be, will never hereafter by any acttassume that it has authority over this Dominion; and in Canada, no government, by whatever name it may be called, will ever do anything-itself, or cortsent to anything being done elsewhere, which will put the Canadian Parliament back into a condition of subordination. The declarations of the Imperial Conference are now part of the immutable principles by which the British Commonwealth Uvea. ONLY ONE MOKE STEP This change, profound and far reaching, creates new problems. One change called for by the necessities of the situation is that of domesticating, in Canada, the power and the machinery for amending the Canadian constitution. If the Parliament of Great Britain has teased to have jurisdiction over Canada, is it not the height ot absurdity that in this parliament alone should be vested the right to change our constitution at will? ir Our TcTUdgoni are priced at, ijf to ijoo A recognized reward of merit The Gruen Pentagon is chosen more often than any other watch to, honor tcssions, and school or college life-Colonel Lindbergh, Vice-President Dawes and hundreds of other famous men wear Gruen Pentagons.

The eoarclty. and mt inability t point to t!M asset causes, brings home to ua bow much we will hare to learn concerning the hablta and life history of the Mlnum. and emphasises the ne resalty for even more Intensive study of Ui;i problem. We mut obtain accurate knowledge of Ito migrations.

INKtll.TIONS InveAtlgatieas wjtieh have been ear ried out so tar. have furnished us with certain knowledge. We know that rl-man appear at the. mouth of fmh water streams along our coast, swim up to the head waters. Uy their egga and then die. The eggs hatch, the young fish stay In the lakes far a year as a rule before swimming down to the sea. where they beoome mature in from three tn six years In the eaie of spring sal mon. The questions which arise are these, where dec the young salmon go after It leaves the rlcer? and what doei It feed upon by what route does U re' tum to It native stream' does it always follow the same route? dcea It mingle and associate with fish from other streams? and so on. The work of answering some of thete questions was placed In the hands of Or. It. C. Williamson. In the years 1936 and 1926 Dr. WUllamson worked on the sprln'g and eohoe salmon. A re part of his f Indlnfs . may be found in Vol. III. No. 9 of the Contributions to Canadian Biology and Fisheries, which may be obtained from the Biological Board at Ottawa, T.MIOINO HMI The problem of tracing the movements of a fish In the sea Is a difficult one. Obviously one cannot follow the fish in Its paths through the sea, and so seme other method must be resorted to. This Is done In the following manner: wdmon Is caught on .the feeding grounds at sea by means of a troll, While still alive the fish Is weighed and measured. Next a thin strip of alum inum metal bearing a number Is fast oned to the fUh'a taU. after which It It placed back In the sea. A careful record Is kept of the length and weight of the fish, and also of the time and place of tagging.' A reward in offered for the return of this tag so that when x fisherman catches a tagged salmon he returns the tag to the central office to gether with Information as to where the fish was caught and If possible Its length and Weight. Thus the Invest! gator Is able to tell where the fish has travelled and its increase in weight and length. By this mean It Is possible to find out something about the ml gratlons. .MOVEMENTS .SHOWS In 1925, 1125 spring salmon were tigged off Ucluelet. 6eventy of these were recaptured during 1925 and forty four were recaptured In 1926. Of the fish tagged in 1928, seven were recap tured in the Ucluelet grounds which teems to indicate that these grounds are a favorite feeding spot of the spring salmon, for they had returned there After an Interval of 15 months, and If reven fish had returned it is reason able to suppose that a great many more fish there were not tagged at all also returned. It 1$ possible, of course, that the fish had remained In that district the whole of the time, but even In this event, It would still show that the fish used these banks as a feeding ground Two salmon were recaptured on the BwlIUure Banks off the coast of Wash ington. The remainder, thirty-three In number, were distributed In two main regions: (1) The Straits of Juan de Puca, and Straits of Georgia; and (2) the Columbia River. COMMON IKK1I1M1 (IKOI'MW In 1928, 1353 spring salmon were tag' ged, and up to June. 1927, 121 of these had been recaptured. Twenty-eight wert 'Captured In B.C. waters and 93 in the United States waters. Of the latter 81 were found in the Columbia River, one In the Nasel River, and thirty-one in Puget Bound. Only nine of the salmon were found In the Praser River, which Is a small return considering the size of the fishing on this stream. The Skagit and Swlmomlsh Sloughs contrl buted 12. From these experiments It will be seen that spring salmon from various rivers congregate on a common feeding ground, When the time for migration comes, they split up Into groups and travel to their native streams. Thus It will be seen that fish which feed In do not all to Oanadla strseMa. bat Omf. a major. Ity ot them la tbla rae a destined for the rivers of tfee United States. Speculation as to how fart a salmon travels feu alaaya been of interest. The salmon U a very strong and vigorous fish and can undabutedljr awtnt with great speed, a fact which makes them very attractive to the sportsman. But hen a salman Is matin Ha way from the feeding grounds f the sea to the pawning riven, lu oourse may be a very Circuitous one. and while we cannot toll just ho fast it swim, we can Nil how taogU takes to get from one plaaa to arjotbef.

PRESENTATION MclTOSH CUP Interesting Event in Cathedral Hall Yesterday Afternoon Under .Music Club A most Interesting event took place yesterday afternoon In the Cathedral Hall when Mrs. R. L. Mcintosh, president of the Prince Rupert Music Club, presented to Jean McLean and Elale Fin-lay, music students taking highest marks at t" nut Oonservatwy examination the Mcintosh Cup. each to hold It for tlx months and to hare thair names engraved theron. Each of these girls took 85 per oent on the Toronto Conservatory examinations. A great mtrty of the mtsslc atudentt and their parsers were prssent as well 1' member of the Music Club. In making the presentation Mrs. Mcintosh spoke of the difficulty they had on this the first occasion the cup had been present, because two students had an equal ''number of marks. The Idea was for the cup to be held each year by the student making the highest number of mark. The name of the winner each year would be engraved on tt. Mrs. Mcintosh spoke of the value of music and of 'the way. even in small communities, they sang and played. She cited examples of people who had -ucceeded and urged the students here to continue their studies. Miss Way. whose students were the winners presented each with a leather music case and spoke of the value of eo-operatlon of parents In connection 1th musical education. She urged that parents try to encourage their children and give them praise when they did well. Prior to the presentation there was an Interesting musical program and at the cloe Ice cream and cake was ser ved by members of the club.
