' . I New Judge Is Heard Mr. Justice CJyne Talks of Shipping And Shipbuilding - - Mr. Justice John V. Clyne, who. as the chairman of the Canadian Maritime Commission, planned the rehabilitation of the ronaHiao h i,iii .v. ' ping Industries following their collapse after World War II, told the Prince- Rupert Gyro Club frankly at luncheon yesterday that Prince Rupert was not one of four strategically located places in Canada which had been considered all that could be supported by the amount of government and naval shipbuilding work which there was to around,' Qf , course., u.ihe, evnt of war, the Prince Rupert yard would, no doubt, become as busy again as it had in the last war and would do as good a Job. The judge discussed the prob of Canada after the war, leading up to his being called in to conduct an investigation and advise the government. Starting from the beginning, J His Lordship recalled how, at the turn of the century with the disappearance of . wooden shipbuilding, the industry ln Canada had pretty, well died a natural death. '. In World War I between 1911 and 1918, it has become necessary to build up the industry but, before It really got going, the war had ended and It hacf died again. Again in 1939, with the outbreak of war, it became apparent that Canada would have to build ships but it took two years to get organized. Then Canada hud done an exceptionally good job, producing ships which were among the best that sailed the seas. But, after the war, the industry again fell off from a peak employment of 80,00 to 10,000 or less. Yards began rapidly disintegrating. It was evident that the industry could not survive of its own accord with costs here twica as much as in British or European yards. Arose the problem of whethet a shipbuilding industry in Canada was necessary at all, the ultimate decision being that it was essential for the purpose of national defence. (Another war would not permit two years to ' organize.) i Therefore, to preserve the Industry, it had been decided to make a survey of all government work including naval requirements. - This has led to the decision to place four yards in strategic places in Canada as uiing au (Continued on page 4) Chilean Coal Mine Disaster Lota, voncepwun i-iuv.vr. mine workings extena unacr me ocean floor.

Defence Rumors Are Heard Here Notices received recently by some residents of Eleventh Avenue that their property mtgnt be required by the federal government, presumably in connec tion with defence plans, were heard at the regular monthly meeting of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce. W. H. Crocker of Prince George, who was present, told the meeting that similar notices were received from time to time there but they were considered of more or less routine matter. Another rumor herd at the meeting was that the Canadian Fishing Co. might not be moving its cannery from Carlisle to the ocean dock here. However, there seemed to be no basis in fact for such a report since tne plant was already in process of being removed to' the city.
