University to Conduct
Special Fraser River
Fish and Power Surveys

The University of B.C. is making an immediate
start on two major surveys of Fraser River fish and
power problems, President Norman A. M. MacKenzie
has announced

The surveys will be conducted with funds given
to the university this month by the B.C. Power Cor-
poration, parent of B.C. Electric, to study possibilities
of generating power on the Fraser without damaging

Two studies, one a general re-
view of the over all problem and
the second a technical survey of
present knowledge about the
problem, will be started immedi-
ately as part of the University’s
Fraser River Hydro and Fish-
eries Research Project financed
by a $50,000 grant from the B.C:
Power Corporation.

The University Board of Gov-
ernors approved the project. and
appointed Dr. Gordon M. Shrum,
newly appointed Dean of Gradu-
ate Studies, to chair three separ-
ate committees appointed to su-
pervise the projet.

Dr. Shrume will be chairman
of an executive committee con-

The Board of Governors also
set up a technical committee
with Dr. Shrum as chairman and
Dr. Peter Larkin, head of U.B.C's
Institute of Fisheries and form-
erly chief fisheries biologist for
the B.C. Game Commission, as
secretary.

‘The technical committee will
put into effect the general plan
laid down by the éxecutive com-
mittee, supervise the special in-
vestigations which may be un-
dertaken and arrange for effect-
ive collaboration and avoidance

search projects.

Dr. Larkin will be in charge
of the general survey of the
problem ‘which is starting im-
mediately and is expected to
take three months to complete.

Terms of reference of this
project are:

1. To assess what contribu-
tion the University could make
to the problem
work already being done in co-
operation with government agen-
cies and the fishing industry.

(The fisheries industry have
given about $75,000 in the past
for research work and training
of graduate students in fisheries
at UBC.)

2. To asseas new avenues of
approach to the problem.

3. To summarize the existing
status of the problem and pro-
gress toward. aglution.

4. To assess dee need for in-
creasing the University’s train-

The technical survey will ga-
ther together all existing techni-
cal knowledge on the problem
both from published material
and preliminary conclusions
of various research projects now
being undertaken by the univer-
sity and others working on the
fish-power problem.

The technical survey, which is
planned to bring the present
technical knowledge on the fish-
power question to a sharp focus
and indicate where there is need
for further specific research, is
expected to be completed by
September 1.

“THIS WEEK

IN OTTAWA”

By E. D. Fulton, M.P.

February 4th, 1956
REVIEW

The week just concluded has
seen the most unusual series of
fumbles and faux pas imagin-
able, For a proper understand-
ing, we have to go back even
further — to the previous week
when arms exports to the Middle
East were under discussion.
STATEMENT

On January 24th the Secretary
of State for External Affairs had
given one more in the series of
corrections and amendments the
Government has had to make to
straighten out the record of its
own misleading statements
about these exports. The Min-
isters then assured ys that ex-
ports of these planes to Egypt
had been carefully reviewed by
the whole Cabinet gnd had been
covered by Order: '-Couneil last
summer. Mr. Hoy ; intervened to
set matters sips once and

for all, and told\§¥-the Order-in-
Council had beef passed Juty-7.
CORRECTION:

On January 27th, Mr. Drew
asked Mr. St. Laurent to table
the Order-in-Council for the in-
formation of Parliament for the
forthcoming External Affairs de-
pate. Mr. St. Laurent said he
would get it and try to make it
available for that time. That af-
ternoon Mr. Howe had to make
a correction in his own state-
ment. These shipments were not
covered by Order-in-Council, he
said, but by Ministerial order.
So there had been no Order-in-
Council of July 7th after all.
REVISION

On Tuesday, January 31st, a
further emandation was neces-
sary. We had still been left with
the impression that the ship-
ment of military aircraft to
Egypt was a question which had
been at least reviewed by the

Cabinet, even if the actual order
was not a Cabinet one. On Tues-
day, however, as a result of fur-
ther prodding, Mr. Diefenbaker
drew from the Prime Minister
for the first time the informa-
tion that this matter had not
come before the Cabinet at all.
As Mr. Diefenbaker commented,
here we had another revised
version.
REFUSAL

On, Thursday a further aspect
was uncovered. We asked for
production of the document now
identified as a Ministerial order
and the permit based on it. The
Prime Minister refused, on the
grounds this was a commercial
transaction and to- table it
would be unfair as revealing de-
tails of competitive business.
SHIFT

This was a new light on the
situation: the impression had
been created before that this had
been regarded as a matter of
| military security, and had been

treated-as such by at least those
who had dealt™-with

Now,
ait, NoWs
however, we are told we cannot —

be further informed about it on
grounds that the export of mili-
tary equipment to Egypt and
Israel is a ‘competitive busi-
ness!” This shift of ground
pricked the bubble of morality
with which the Secretary of
State for External Affairs had
first sought to surround the
Governnient’s position.
DEFEAT

The final chapter came on
Friday — in a totally unrelated
matter. The House was in Com-
mittee on one of the Govern-
ment’s measures to deal with
the wheat situation. Mr. Cold-
well was speaking. Interest
seemed to be flagging on the
Government side. Mr. Coldwell
said “Let us see how interested
the Government Party is in this
situation — I move the Com-
mittee rise and report progress.”
This ,course, would mean the
measure could not be proceeded
with — and Mr. Coldwell was
right in his premise, for there
were only 36 Government sup-
porters present in the Commit-
tee, and his motion carried by a
majority’ of 10.
SLIP

Of course the vote doesn’t
mean more than that the -Gov-
ernment was caught , napping,
but it certainly was a fitting
climax to a week and more of
ineptitude. We have been see-
ing fumbling of a type that
seemed impossible only two
years ago, and which certainly
indicates a slip in its grasp of
affairs generally.
