Restrictive
powers still
in Legal Act

VICTORIA, B.C.

McCarthyite political tests used
by the heads of B.C. lawyers to
keep at least one student from
practising law are still present
in the new Legal Profession Act,
tabled in the legislature last week.

Questioned about admission re-
quirements, Attorney-General Rob-
ert Bonner said that they remain
“substantially the same” as those
used to deny law student Gordon
Martin his call to the bar in 1948.

Much of the Martin case cen-
tred around {nterpretation by the
Benchers, governing body of the
B.C. Law Society, of the require-
ment that the student-at-law be
of “good repute.”

The Benchers. held that. Martin,
as a Communist and at that time
member of the Labor-Progressive
party (he is no longer a member)
was not of “good repute.”

On result of the Martin case is
that the new act provides for an
appeal to the Court of Appeal

from disciplinarye actions by the
Benchers.

In Martin’s case special action
by the government was needed
to enable Martin to be heard by
the Court of Appeal and then the
court ruled only on whether the
Benchers had the right to proceed
against Martin under the Act.

’ CCF spokesmen are expected to
raise the whole matter of the use
of the Benchers’ powers to dis-
criminate against candidates on

_ political grounds when the bill is
before the House.

Scott Nearing to speak

Dr. Scott Nearing, noted Ameri-
can writer and lecturer, will speak
on “The key role of Germany” at
a public meeting to be held Mon-
day, March 14, at 8 p.m., in’ Man-
hattan Hall here. The meeting is
sponsored by B.C, Peace Council.

\UFAWU ask equality
in pink salmon catch

VICTORIA, B.C.

Conclusion of a pink salmon treaty with the U.S. to give greater
equality in the catch to Canadian fishermen was among proposals of
a brief presented to the provincial cabinet this week by a 40-member
delegation from United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union (Ind.).
The brief embodied a number of issues which were acted upon by the
union’s last convention and stressed the union’s “deep concern” on

these matters.

It called for greater protection
in the conservation and rehabilita-
tion of fishery resources. While
recognizing this as primarily a
federal government matter, the
union urged the provincial govern-
ment to “take a keen interest in
the general welfare of these valu-
able natural resources.” —

with the U.S. which would prov-
ide for a greater equality in the
annual catch between U.S. and
Canadian fishermen, the brief
pointed out that as these fish move
in through the Straits of Juan de
Fuca and Puget Sound, the U.S.
catch compared to the B.C. catch
is approximately three to one.

The federal government’s “dras-
tie closures of the Fraser River
area” were seen as a tail-end ef-
fort at conservation ‘after Ameri-
can fishermen have exploited the
first heavy salmon runs.

As.a further measure of fish
conservation the union proposed
extention of Canada’s territorial
waters “to nine miles’ beyond
certain specified points, and the
curbing of U.S. or other foreign
fishing vessels within the pro-
posed territorial waters limit.

Curbs upon salmon fishing in
the North Pacific were held by the
brief to be necesssary because ex-
tensive Pacific salmon fishing by
Japan has materially depreciated
the salmon runs in Alaskan and
British Columbia waters. The brief
asked a salmon limit for Japan of
five million a year.

Other key points in the UFAWU
brief included: ;

@ Protection of salmon fisheries
against hydro-electric power de-
velopments.

@ Arrangement of trade barter
deals, and provision of long-term
credits “to enable Commonwealth
countries to purchase Canadian
canned salmon and other pro-
ducts.”

@ Recognition of the People’s
Republic of China as a first step
to extending Sino-Canadian trade.

In addition the brief called for
a provincial Bill of Rights, re-
moval of the Sales Tax, abolition
of hospital “co-insurance’” increas-
ed old age pensions and legalised
lotteries.
