Every spring a herd of seals passes the shores of British Columbia bound northward to Pribiloff Islands where they breed. These islands belong to the United States and toll is taken each year when a certain number of the seals are slaughtered and their pelts sold. Seals live on fish and as they pass and repass these shores they consume a number of the fish that breed m these waters and are protected and fostered by the Government of Canada, yet the people of the province are not allowed tb kill any of the seals. Canada spends a good deal of money in protecting the herd as it passes these shores and in return gets the pro-1 ceeds of a proportion of the catch. If fishermen and others j were allowed to hunt the seals they would find it remun- erative and the local fur dealers would also have more business. The business would go through Canadian hands and would repay to some extent for the fish that are taken i by the seals. Canada can annul the treaty if she wishes and to do, so would certainly benefit Prince Rupert. Why send a warship patrolling the coast and wasting Canadian money for the benefit of the United States. Why pay airplanes to keep good Canadians from engaging in what might easily be a lawful industry? The seals belong to the United States long as they are on the islands but when they are in the sea they are the property of those who can take them. m. CONTROLLING THE OUTPUT A few years ago the Government of British Columbia tried to control the marketinc of fruit, vegetables and other farm produce, but the effort has proved abortive and now there is once more an open market. The wheat pool made ayery spectacular effort to control the marketing of wheat, and even went so far as. to try to secure statutory control of the whole of the wheat crop produced in a province. Now the managers of the pool have intimated that farmers who are members of the pool and who wish to market their grain at once, getting the present selling value for their product, may do so. This breaks the vital rule of the pool which was the enforcing of the right to purchase the whole crop of all pool members. With this move of the wheat pool the people of the prairies t return once more to the system of an open market for everyone. , Many efforts have been made at various times to corner some product and keep it off the open market but always so far viti failure. Not one has succeeded. w .ggg&.t l .gaaw Following are new books which H. F. Pullen and T.
