More

half

By
Alberni
Man
A
few
days
ago
in
the
House
of
Commons,
Olof
Hanson,
M.
P.
for
Skeena,
placed
the
serious
position
now
facing
the
fishermen
of
this
port
urging
that
some
measures
to
relieve
the
situation.
Mr.

of
the
fishermen
were
Nelll,
Independent
member
for
Comox-AlbernL
Hansard
reports
Mr.
Hanson's
speech
as
follows:
Mr.
Speaker,
I
should
like
tcj
bring
to
the
attention
of
the
house
1
a
very
Important
question
which
'
I
think
should
be
considered
by
the
government.
I
refer
to
the
condition
of
the
fishermen
on
the
Pacific
coast,
extending
from
Washington
to
Alaska.
I
have
a
resolution
before
me
which
was
unanimously
adopted
at
a
mass
meeting
held
In
Prince
Rupert,
and
which
has
received
several
endorsatlons
from
public
bodies,
which
I
am
not
going
to
take
time
to
read.
However,
I
desire
to
place
on
Hansard
the
resolution:
At
a
mass
meeting
held
In
the
Moose
Hair
In
Prince
Rupert,
B.C.,
lutlon
was
unanimously
adopted
Whereas
the
prices

and

obtained

not

(or
below
any
proportion)
to
the
cost
of

and
whereas

and
salmon
i
in
the
United
States
which
Is
pro
tected
by
two
cents
duty
against
Canadian
halibut
and
salmon,
and
Whereas
the
Canadian
fish

ers
have
already
declared
that
they
cannot
pay
any
higher
prices
for

than
those

and
Be
It
further
resolved
that
copies
of
this
resolution
be-
sent
to
the
Prime
Minister,
Minister
of
Fisheries.
Olof
Hanson.
M
P..
A.
W
l
Nelll.
M.P..
and
local
public
bodies
for
endorsatlon
and
action.
The
situation
outlined
here
Is
endorsed
by
such
public
bodies
as
the
board
of
trade,
and
I
have
a
good
many
telegrams
which
I
will
not
attempt
to
read.
This
Is
something
that
the
government
should
take
very
seriously
Into
consideration.
The
production
of
salmon
and
halibut
on,
the
Pacific
Coast,
we
know,
exceeds
the
consumption
In
Canada.
Our
Can
adian
fleet
have
developed
a
very
good
business
and
they
are
look
ing
for
a
market;
and
their
only
market
for
halibut
is
the
United
States.
The
United
States
has
Imposed
a
duty
of
2
cents
per
pound
on
fish
going
Into
that
country,
and
In
addition
to
this
handicap
which
our
fishermen
have
to
face,
this
government
has
raised
a
tariff
against
everything
which
the
fishing
industry
requires
In
order
to
carry
on
its
business.
Our
fishermen
must
have
gasoline,
hooks,
.rubber
tboot,
special
clothing
and
so
on,
a'nd
naturally
a
duty
against
these
articles
must
operate
to
their
disadvantaged
They
are
recelvlnt
2
cents
less
for
their
fish
and
thev
have
to
pay
about
twice
as
much
as
their
competitors
for
the
necessary
equipment
to
enable
them
to
eatch
their
fish.
The
Canadian
goverament
has
seen
fit
to
extend
some
assistance
to
the
farmers
of

has
been
