Drawn up by the Intel national Pacific Halibut Commission, of which Harold Helland of Prince Kupert is a member, the regulations are different from those of past, years mainly because of a reduction in the number of areas to be fished and an alteration in certain boundary lines. The Commission has also made use of its new authority to provide for two or more" fish inj- seasons in an area in a .single year. The purpose of this is to spread fishing over a greater part of the year and to increase the utilization of stocks. The value of the Commission's work speaks for itself. When the Commission was established by treaty .'iO years ago, the stocks of halibut had been so seriously depleted by unrestricted fishing that it was unprofitable to go after them. Hy regulation, it has improved stocks to the point where halibut fishing is again big business and the permissible catch is steadily going up. This year the authorized catch is 1P million pounds more than that of 19M, which should add about $::,0fn),()l)0 to the earnings of halibut fishermen. The healthiness of this industry is of the greatest importance to Prince Rupert, the halibut capital of the world, where landings last year were close to a third of the total for the entire North American west coast. Consequently the Commission is for us a very valuable form of insurance.

Mineral production in Canada during 1953 reached a new high value of $1,331,000,000 according to a preliminary estimate. Prolonged strikes at some of the gold mines curtailed mil put during the latter half of the year, the annual total amounting to 4,061,000 ounces at $140 millions compared with 4,471.1100 ounce at $153 millions in 1952. In 1953 crude petroleum led all other minerals in value of production, exceeding gold, which had held first place for nearly 25 years. Asbestos fell slightly both in quantity and value. 4- ' May 7 was Opposition Leader George Drew's 611th birthday and leaders of all groups combined to offer him congratulations and good wishes on that occasion. A large bowl of beautiful roses was I on his desk in the House and Mr. Speaker opened the (lay's session by saying he was sure all members would want hltn lo wish the Leader of the Opposition a happy birthday and many happy returns. Prime Minister St. Laurent asked to be allowed to say, on behalf of all those who sit on the Liberal side of the House, InlH Mie sentiments Mr. I Speaker had expressed were those of each and every one of us. CCF leader Coldwell said this was an occasion when the Prime Minister was expressing the views mcr t all over the House. Solon Low of file Social Credit Party said he does not look forward to birthdays coming to him, but he looks forward to their coming to oth-.T people, not just because he wants them to grow old so that they can b' vanquished but rather because it gives us an opportunity to express to them the good will, as the Prime Minister had done. at .... as sim; as a phone ca' by J. if more The Road to Ruin IN THE sound and fury over Senator McCarthy's war with the U.S. army, its. origin has been forgotten. I The Senator from Wisconsin I had accused the army of hur- j boring C o m m u n i s t s in l:cy ! places. To support this clv.ir;i', I lie got hold of a report prepared by the U.S. Army Intelligence ' Branch, which dealt with public opinion In parts of the Soviet ; Union. j In the main, the intelligence report says, the Soviet people in the far east were not hostile ! to the basic set-up of the Com-! niunlst government. About K'il per cent of them could be ex- j peeled to support the Commit-1 ni.'.t regime loyally in time of; war. I Such a report, prepared by the US. Intelligence, Is like a red) flag to a bull to some of those j U.S. senators who either refuse! to face the facts of life, or remain in determined ignorance of those facts. One of the greatest of all facts of life about the world in which we live is that the Communist system enjoys approximately the same degree of acceptance from its own people as our own po-1 litical and social system have from our own people. The road to ruin is to ignore that fact. To close our eyes to it, or to conceal the truth as it exists, could lead to a catastrophic world war, in which th? West's chances of victory would be extremely dubious. IN THE past few molitlLS Canada has had two ace newspaper men who have written from lirst-hand knowledge of actual conditions in Russia. Neither of these journalists is a Soviet sympathizer. Neither is a nitwit. On the contrary, both! Mr. Gerald Clark and Mr. Bill; Boss are newspaper men of long experience, keen intelligence and unquestioned integrity, ! After spending months in the , Soviet Union, and talking with j Hundreds of people in various I places, both of these newspaper1 men stress the fact that the ! I majority of Soviet citizens not , only accept theif regime, but are I reasonably 'well .satisfied with its j basis. I Both Canadian newspaper I men have warned the West that ! we would make a blunder of ln-i calculable proportions if we as- sumed that the Soviet people are I just waiting for war, in order i to throw off the oppression of ! a hated regime. ! THE REAL weakness of the new j Russian world empire is in its I disguised imperialist basis. There i is a strong, but suppressed, nationalist movement in the Uk-S laine, which would be of lm- mense advantage to the West in the event of a war forced by ' Russian aggression. On the very first day of sweh a war the West i pould. proclaim a. formal pledge, tional sovereignly, to the 'Jk-j ralne. But ronln.ry to Senator McCarthy's wish, there is no evi-I dence whatsoever that the aver-J age city Joe in Russia is against 1 the basis of his government. The Russian peasant I., probably sullen and resentful of I lie force used to make him live on a collective farm. ELL ft n lo) n REFLECTS Arms the Town , I rhOtlf nr II,.
