Since a matter of vital importance s Uo Prince Rupert is involved, it is gratifying to learn that tTie International Fisheries Commission is seri-. Cously considering proposals for new regulations to meet the situation . ,arising out of more intensive hali-"hui fishing operation in the face of continued conservation measures. Prince Rupert has long suffered because of the increasing shortness of the fishing season in- Area No. 2 where our smaller boats operate ex-ji.elusively and have to share the fish with the larger boats which, when Area No. 2 quota is exhausted, can ;?nove on to Area No. 3. Now the season in Area No. 3 is also becoming uncomfortably short. In fact, the situation is becoming such that, if ' 'something is not done, the halibut fishing season will be so short and so intensive that it will be hardly worth anyone's, while. The International Fisheries Com-i mission, which it must be admitted has through the years since its inception done a splendid job in building up the fishery, which would have long since become extinct from the physical standpoint, now has another difficult problem of different kind on its hands. Naturally, it must still be primarily interested in the conservation of the fishery but it has also Watts & Nickerson FOR I .lima .uMHWWIFTffll 532 THIRD AVENUE BARR & ANDERSON .

' Prince Rupert will be particularly i interested in seeing that this port and its halibut fleet is adequately pro-j tected in any new regulations which j may be devised. , Future Warfare . . . Experience probably will dictate a compromise between those who think the atom bomb omnipotent and those who still think in terms of massed armies. When Mr. Truman asks whether Britain or Germany would have been wiped out had both possessed the atom bomb during the 1940 London blitz, he seems to answer that it would have been Brit-'ai'n, because the Germans possessed the air strength for cross-channel bombing. But so did the British. And they , had radar, probably in a more advanced stage than the Germans. The atom experts would simply say that neither country's ordinary military forces would have saved it if the other had attacked without warning. They would add that the bombs could be shot by rockets or carried in in suitcases. It would be foolish to assume that there is now no need of military forces. But it is no less foolish to assume that the business of war is going to be carried on in the same old way. Defense that shortens by only a year its time for readiness is not good enough. And military leaders must not act as if they had or were soon likely to find a military defense against atom bombing. We still say that a factor deserving more urgent attention is the .development of effective international controls a defense against the common enemy, war.
