M Li vMxasmtwotrm mrm rim :i lb m Kara tan ra ra ra iin rm m3 1.40 2 Tuesday, April 2, 1935 HEALTH OF THE KING There will be great disappointment in some circles in Canada at the action of the Russian Commissar of For eign Affairs in drinking the health of Kirnr Geortre at the banquet in Moscow. For a Canadian communist to do such a thing would mean that he would be quickly kicked out of his partyH - - Evidently Commissar Litvinoff has come to a conclusion t which is arrived at by practically all thinking men. That, conclusion is that the crown of England signifies the greatest freedom which has been yet attained among men. It may be a remnant of feudal times. Doubtless it is. Men of understanding realize that. They also realize that there has evolved from that remnant of feudalism a freedom Which is cherished wherever the British flag flies and by many even where the flag flies only over a consulate or a British ship. It has been the proud boast of the British people for generations past that their flag signifies freedom. T.hat is why they refuse to allow communism to run ript but at the same time give communists a measure of licence knowing that time and education will bring them to see things in a different licht. If a security pact is arranged between Russia and Great Britain, each country endeavoring in this way to protect Its own kind of liberty against aggression by militarists, it should have a good effect generally throughout the world in allaying that irritation which has often been generated through the self-satisfied composure of the British people. We welcome the meeting of the British and iuBiau statesmen as me Deginningoi a new era oi under 8tandihg,and understand in cr is the basis of all nroaresa. t It will probably come as a shock to some Canadians who have taken an anti-Russian attitude to suddenly find themselves, as members of the British Empire, lined up In saying that the crown of Great Britain signifies the greatest possible freedom, there is no intimation that the conduct of the internal affairs of this or any other British country is carried out in the best possible manner. We must make progress. Unfortunately, no country in any part of the world has solved the art of self-government. Because of the failure of the former democratic method, Italy is now experimenting with a new method and the outcome of the experiment will doubtless have a great in-fluence on other nations. If it succeeds, others will follow. If it fails when the present dominating leader is gone, it will go into the discard along with other system that have passed away. Possibly that system may suit the Latins but not the Anglo-Saxons. Practically every country in the world is finding its present .system has failed to provide against financial depressions such as that through which we are now passing. Each country is trying in its own way to improve its system so; that it will: while irivimr the " Greatest worriM amount of freedom, protect those who have in the past and are now the victims of the system and its administration. The concensus of opinion is that, while administra tions qre often defective, there is also something wrong with the systems. The general opinion is also general that the human brain is capable of planning a system which, while not perfect, will be a great improvement over the present. In this lies our hope. It is all possible under the freedofn4guaraiteed by the British crown. The Letter Box ! HALIBUT BOAT OWNERS' VIEW fishing. ON I.IVKR SHAKING Editor. Daily News: It is not our desire to take advn-j J6cal tagc oi .your good naiurp in urucr to air this dispute between the Fishermen's Union and ourselves through the press. We would, however, appreciate an opportunity to reply to the letter appearing in Saturday's paper. To our mind the negotiations tn connection with a minimum price do not enter into the point under dispute. There is an agreement between the two organizations specifying that the boats shall get one-fifth of the grass stock. This agreement American organisation, when- U local organization came into existence about 1932. the existing agreement was renewed by ex change of letters. At that time livers were being save-1 but at a price much below that bdng paid today. Consequently, with the exception of one boat, no attempt -was made to claim a share for the boat as the majority of the owners considered the amount too small to bother with, particularly us the a,verage share at that time from halibut was hardly enough to keep body and soul together. Some members of the American fleet, from the start. Insisted on the boat getting a share of the livers or not saving them. This feeling grew until It jecame generally recognized by the ishermen that the boat should gel a share all through, so far as we mow the U. S. Union has not of fl cially authorized th deduction but in practice this has been general for the past two seasons. This year the Vancouver fleet has gone out with the crew know ing that the livers would be In eluded In the gross stock. Why Prince Rupert should be an excep don is not understandable by our .uembers. Whether the fact that the liver money was not put nto the general stock at the time the agreement was signed legally under the agree ment precluces the boat's partlci pation is a pcint not defined but our members claim the deduction is legal. They base their right on a lause in the contract specifying a filth of Uie gross stock to the boat The argument In the third para graph of the union letter is equally p.ppllcable to the fishermen. It Is liardly right for our local union to .ake ail the credit for the creation jf the valuable liver market. Our understanding of the English situ ation is that the fishermen are hired and the livers are considered as part of their pay. Boat In Eng land operating on a share basis, we ire told, sell their fish as caught Consequently the only livers sold are from the Ush cut up for bait and the" money goes to the firemen irxl others working for wages who in turn cut the fish Into bait. The fishing crew get no money from livers. lie. fifth paragraph of the union's letter. The money Is not lost, td the community by the boat getting Its share. As a matter of fact the community stands to lose more by the boats not getting a share as, at present through lack of funds, over fifty percent of the boats are run ning without Insurance and, if lost, could not be replaced which means less opportunity for the' men to gp As to the sixth paragraph, per mit us to point out .that there are i few boats in the fleet owing more than the present market value but their owners have their life savings In Uiese boats and the union's statement would seem to conclu slvcly prove that the return on the Investment Is not adequate to pro tect same which should support the owner's contention that the share of the livers is Imperative If the fleet Is to be kept up No sane man would Invest money m a halibut boat today. This last paragraph oi the union's letter hardly tells '-he whole stofy. The boat owners and union unani mously agreed to go Into a marketing scheme with the understanding that a certain price would be advanced as the fish were landed and, when the final results were known, mey would receive the net amount over this advance or pay back any loss. The captain turned tht cheques into the outfitting houses, who accepted them as they would any other cheque, and, when they were not paid, charged them back to the account carried for owners and crew.

Orient, is prepared to bring its ships to Prince Rupert to take deckloads oX hemlock or othr Umber at )9 per thousand. This is understood to be the lowest rat that has so far been quoted, on this business. A notice posted at the Oovern- Jient Agent's office announces that halibut fishermen will be cut off 'elier as from April 15. A similar notice at the City Hall states there will be no further relief for halibut fishermen after April I. jf the partnership, the captain was legally entitled to debit this back to his crew and trie fishermen and boat owners were in turn morally, at least, bound to reimburse the men unfortunate enough to get bad cheques. A resume of the dispute Is as fol lows: Our association had a nwet inu In December at which the ad visibility of asking for a boat's ihare of the livers was discussed but, as the meeting was small, no action was taken. Qri March 14 It was again brought up and it was Jeclded to ask the union to grant this right Mind, we made no de niand.i To this the union reulled that they unanimously decided that ihey could not comply with our wishes. On March 25 we advised Uwm.that 6 had decided to de duct a boat's share but that, if they am not care to save the livers, it was up to them. Wc asked them to bring the matter up again. To this they replied. MWe unanimously de tide to stay by our action of last meeting," They further advised that they were prepared to go fish ing on any boat signing an agree ment with the union to not deduct a; boat's share from the livers. Our members consider that they arc Dresentlncr a new nirrormont tn without first giving the necessary' tnirty days' notice of cancelling the old one. While the right of the boat to share in the livers might be a debatable legal point. It would seem that the pwner should have the rlhl to refuse to permit his equip ment to be used for the saying of. Mme. xei me union refuses to permit their men to go out unless the livers are saved, and this Is undoubtedly a clear violation of the agreement We regret occupying so much of vnur mi riv tnr v. ... ...1.1.1. , . vw iu) mu U9K ui wuicil I pjease accept our thanks.
