a FIsHY PLAN.

A NOVEL plan has been adopted in Canada whereby
millions Of pounds Of fresh sh prices may
available for the people OF Ontario this season. It imposes
on licensed fishermen the condition that they deliver
The saesbranch Of the Department Of Game and Fisheries
when required any portion Of their catch not exceeding
20 per cent at prices fixed by the Government present
from six cents pound for herring eight and nine cents
pound for other fresh nsh It is predicted that this win
place millions Of pounds Of sh at the disposal Of the Gov
ernment
Some persons in the New England States see in the
adoption Of this plan covert attempt subsdlze the
Canadian fishermen In strengthen them for their
on the American market
Since the beginning of history the strife between
Canadian and American fishermen has been very bitter.
The Canadian Government backs lis fishermen in every
way possible Through wharfage privileges bait supply
and other forms OF suhsdlzaton
Last year Pacific Coast fishermen complained that the
Canadian Government had refused them bait supply
privileges at Canadian ports and 10 reported that
Canada had blacklisted fishing North Pacific
waters.
From January 10 October Of last year we imported 9s-
255OOO pounds Of fresh sh worth s6O2O or an
import price per pound Of CT cents and 5Oi6sOO pounds
OF herring worth s2iO9OoO about i2 per pound
Practically all Of this nsh from Canada It repre-
sents an Increase the first ten months of i93 nine
Of which were under protective rates OF duty Of 5 per
cent for fresh fish, and slight falling Off in herring
ports which in 1918 came considerably from Europe
Now Canada proposes to pay her fishermen for 20 per
oent Of their catch rates exceeding the pound prices AZ
which we import Canadian nsh by about so per cent as
signing cheaper rates to the public an excuse
Il looks little nshy but perhaps the u S-Canadlan
Fisheries Conference ironed all these matters out at their
meeting In Washington the middle Of January in which
they planned TO take advantage Of the that Canada
and the United States associates In the war and
therefore have aims akin more than ever before"

RAKER AND COAL.

ND il all comes back again to Mr. Baker If the Secre-
AAry Of War had interviewed last summer 10 upset
the agreement which Secretary Lane reached with the
coal operators Of the country there would probably be
coal and TO spare now-and the nation and the world
would have been saved the farcca spectacle OF seeing
the one country which has the most coal compelled TO
go without using for fourteen days through the order
Of its fuel administration.
Secretary Lanes plan would have given stability and
impetus 10 the production OF coal because Il nxed
price at which all mines, great and small could operate
at profit. Mr.. Bakers interference in matter which
was essentially Of his business substituted uncer-
alny for crainty, assured small profits to few and
no profits at all to many Of the coal operators-and the
result was that when the mines should have turning
out coal at the apex Of productivity all climatic
conditions made for quick and easy distribution Of fuel
for the winter months the coal mines were either idle
or running with greatly reduced output and the trans
portaton systems OF the land badly utilized for
the distribution Of the little coal that was produced
Maybe Mr. Baker reokoned on winter as be did on the

VLADIvOSTOK, Dec. 24.-How
communication between Berlin and
Vladivostok was broken in the last
month or so has been revealed.
Through mail. telegraphic, and other
channels Germany was kept In con-
tact with its numerous propagandists
in eastern Siberia. but the connection
was broken by the post and wire Gen.
sorship established by the new allied
intelligence board here.
Certain Russians had become de-
ceived by the enemy propagandists
and were aiding the Germans in trying
to foment confusion among the allied
nationals and representatives in Vladi-
vostok Their game was to tell the
British certain stories concerning the
Japanese and Americans to cause
British resentment The result was,
according to American visitors to Via
divostok, that the allied representa-
elves seemed to chase each other in
a circle.
Now all has changed The intelli-
gence board has conducted the regis
tration of sixty aliens and is expected
soon to bring about the arrests OF sew
eral hundred unregistered ones.
