This

a
paper
was
read
by
Hon.
S.
L.
Howe,
commissioner
of
fisheries
in
the
Provincial
Government,
which
dealt
with
the
value
of

fisheries
of

and
gave
special
attention
to
the
salmon
fisheries
treaty
between
Canada
and
the
United
States
which
the
Provincial
Government
endorses.
One
striking
feature
of
the
paper
was
that
which
mentioned
the
desirability
of
Canada
entering
the
cod
fishing
industry.
Already
the
United
States

cod
on
the
banks
off
the
coast
of

and

and
