COASTAL WATERS
TEEMING WITH

Report OF Murphy, Who Recent

NEW YORK, Mar. 10-Peru's Coas-
tai waters are teeming with enough

lands are all veritable bird sanctuar-

Murphy, curator Of natural science of
the Brooklyn Museum, just returned

Mr.. Murphy said that on one island
he found "the most abundant seabird

feathered creatures Of single spec

The fisheries of Peru, he said, are
unorganized and, although fish are
plentiful, including such edible var
ieties as the bonito, anchoveta, pc
Jerry or smelt, the congril (somewhat
like cod,) the founder and corvena
comparable to the American salmon,)

MUCH INTEREST
in THE SESSION
Legislature Province of Ontario Which
Conyenes At Toronto To-day
New Laws Contemplated.
Associated Press

TORONTO, ONT, Mar. 1O-Wide-
spread interest attends the opening of
the legislature of the Province of On
tario here today in view of the fact
that the new assembly is a prepond-
erantly farm and labor" government,
committed to public ownership or con-
troll of railways and water trans
portation, telephone, telegraph and
express systems and projects for the
development of national powr and the
coal mining industry.
Ontario, which has led politically in
the movement of the farmers to gov
ernmental power, is not so much of
an agricultural province, relatively
speaking, as the great grain-growing
provinces of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, where the old-line Liberals are
still in power. 1t is on the contrary,
much of manufacturing region.
Notwithstanding, this, the United
Farmers of Ontario won As of the Ill
seats at the general election on Octo-
Der 30 by coalition with II labor
members, the agriculturalists obtain
ed slim majority to control the leg
islature. The cabinet of Premier
Drury is composed of eight farmers,
two laborites and one lawyer-there
had to be one lawyer for the attor-
ney generalship.
The development of the farmers
political organization has proceeded
steadily since 1914 when a small
group met in farm house near Tor
onto and organized the First Farmers
Cooperative Society 1t was announ-
ced that the organization would con-
fine itself to commercial enterprises
but it soon became a political factor,
The farmers platform approves the
League of Nations and favors the
development of the British Empire
along the lines of partnership be-
tween nations free and equal"
1t urges the reduction of Canada's
huge national debt by development
of her natural resources" 1t also
denounces the protective tariff as "the
most wasteful and costly method ever
designed to raising public revenue"
adding that "Great Britain's financial
strength during the war was due to
her free trade policy which enabled
her to draw her supplies freely from
every quarter of the globe and conse-
quently to undersell competitors in
the worlds market"
1t also recommends the acceptance
of the Reciprocity Treaty offered to
Canada by the United States in 1911,
In addition the platform aims to set
in motion a basis of commerce which
in five years would result in complete
free trade with Great Britain.

Liverpool again developed large

chief cotton spinning districts in Fra

With the latest political develop
ments on the other side, the react
ion in the English market and the
French strike, prospects for early i'm
provement in export demand do not
look bright at tthe moment.
London says the supreme council

tablished at earliest moment. Record

Straddle buying in connection with
straddle reversal operations with Liv-
erpool also was a factor towards ad-
vance which reached 30 to 40 points
from the lowest. However the opinion
prevails that the conditions which
caused the decline at Liverpool will
reflect at one time or other to our
markets to greater or lesser extent.

with four varieties Of the most deli
cous edible crabs. These crusta-
ceans, he said, would furnish the basis
for a big canning industry both for
home and foreign consumption, vast
quantities Of such seafood now being
annually imported by the United
States from Japan.
The "wonderful fish and bird life"
Of Peru, Mr.. Murphy attributed to the
Humboldt Current, a cold body Of oc-
eanic water which flows along 1900
miles Of the coast. He made many OBJ
servations Of this current, he said, fol-
lowing those Of Alexander Agassiz
and DR.. Robert F. Coker Of the Unit
ed Statese Fish Commission, pioneers
in such work. Although Peru's prox!
unity to the equator, he said, would
cause one to suppose that it might
have a temperature like that Of Flor
ida, its actual temperature was more
like that of Boston. The result Of the
interesting correlation between the
Humbolt Current and the abundance
Of fish an dbird life, he said, he has
covered in more than 500 pages Of
data. He also brought with him six
teen cases and crates, in many OF
which are specimens Of curious mar
inc and feathered creatures.
Mr.. Murphy called attention to the
guano or fertilizer deposits Of Peru,
which, he said, may be doubled by the
conservation methods devised by
Francisco Ballen, Peruvian, who he
described as zone Of the most far
sighted and able economists in the
world
