Canadians watching

Bellingham
might get
Alaskan ferries

BELLINGHAM, Wash.
(AP) — Bellingham has a
strong chance of getting
the Alaska Ferry
System’s southem ter-
minus away from Seattle
Mayor Ken Hertz said
‘oday after returning
from Alaska.

Hertz said he met last
week with Alaska Gov.
Jay Hammond and is
optimistic about his city's
chances, particularly
since the governor said
he would be making the
decision and not the
legislature.

‘The Legislature is
more apt to make a
political decision, par-

For example, the U.S.
might require some of the
business in an arms
contract with a European
country to be placed with
Us. subsidiaries in Can-
ada.

One of the main goals of
the defence production
sharing idea is to
promote standardization
of equipment in NATO.
This could create
problems for some NATO
countries when the talks
become more specific.

Several European
countries— Britain, West
Germany, France,
Italy~are busy building
their own ships and
fighter aircraft and, in
some cases, tanks.

REDUCE PRODUCTION

If there is to be stan-
dardization, some
countries will have to
reduce or eliminate pro-
duction of certaintypes of
equipment, a government
official said.

He said Canada con-

tributes to stan-
dardization by buying
‘Leopard - tanks from

Germany and the long-
range patrdl aircraft
from Lockheed in the
U.S. ‘Also under con-

licularly in light of the
fact that southeast
Alaska legislators are
more interested in going
to Seattle than here,”
said Hertz. ;

“The only reason the
Legislature would be
involved (in the decision
making) would be if
capital money would
have to be spent, and
under present = ar-
money from the state of
Alaska would not have to
be spent here," said the

mayor.

The candidates for the
ferry port are Seatile,
Bellingham and Prince
Rupert, B. C., Hertz said.

sideration are several
fighter aircraft, all from
NATO countries.

The European arms-
producing countries are
working more closely on
developing a common
apprpach stan-
dardization and
production sharing.

The French, West
German and British
defence ministers
recently agreed to step up
efforts to achieve arms
collaboration with the
U.S. And British Defence
Minister Fred Mulley
urged the U.S, recently to
act quickly on __ the
proposal to buy from
European countries.

Italy, Britain and
Wester Germany are
working together on the
Tornado fighter aircraft.
The Tornado is a con-
tender for the fighter
contract in Canada.

Italian President Giulio
Andreotti raised
prospects of industrial co-
operation with Canada on

cent visit to Ottawa. He

Canada agreed to buy the

Six per cent rise in seal quota

By ALEX BINKLEY
OTTAWA (CP) — The
government announced
Monday a_ six-per-cent
increase in the quota for
harp seala for next
spring's hunt on the East
joast and a top federal
fisheries official said the
department hopes most
of the increase will go to
hunters on the Magdalen
Islands in the Gulf of St.

Lawrence.

Art May, director-
general of resource
services, said the de-

rtment has not made a
ina} decision on where
the increase will be
alloted. But it was con-
sidering the Magdalen
Islands area to achieve

balance in the hunt
between the Guif and the
ice area known as the
Front, north of
Newfoundland.

The total quota for harp
seals next spring will be

180,000, up from 170,000
last spring. Canadians
will get all the increase
while Norwegian ships
will have the same quota
as this year— 35,000.
Canadian ship-based
hunters also will have the

same quota as last
spring—62,000. Residents

in the Arctic, the
Labrador section of
Newfoundland and ;

Greenland have been
assigned 10,000, the same
as last year. That leaves
73,000 for landbased
hunters on the Gulf and
the island of Newfoun-
dland. .

May was speaking ata
special meeting of
government officials and
groups for and against
the hunt, a format the

overnment has adopted
or announcing details of
the hunt and trying to
deflate some of its critics.
WILL BE BACK

But Patrick Moore,
head of the Greenper te
Foundation, said his
group will be back in
Newfoundland this year
to try to stop the hunt. He
asked federal officials
whether journalists and
environmentalists will be
required to have permits
to go on the ice during the
hunt.

Under an amendment
to the Fisheries Act
passed in the last session
of Parliament, it is illegal

More money

TORONTO (CP) —
Canadians whose parents
were immigrants make
more money and have
more education on the
average than citizens
whose parents were born
in Canada, a federal
government study says.

Walter Kalbach, a
University of Toronto
professor who conducted
the study with Prof. Tony
Richmond of York Un-
versity, says research
indicates that  im-
migration is beneficial to
Canada.

The study, to he
completed next month, is
based on manpower an
immigration department
statistics and the 1971
census.

dicate that the average
annual income for family
heads whose parents

found to earn an average
of $8,000,

“With the second
generation Canada gels a
Brow of highiyskilled,

ighly-educated workers
in the labor force,” said
Kalbach.

The study was com-
missioned by Statistics
Canada and the Social
Science Research
Council.

One of the songs most
frequently sung in English is

“Happy Birthday To You"
“Good

id Morning to All’) by Mildred

Interestingly, ‘Happy Birth-
day" was even sung in space
by the Apollo IX astronauts
on March 8, 1969. .

for anyone to interfere
with the hunt or hunters.

The amendment was
prepared by two
Newfoundland —back-
bench MPs after
Newfoundlanders

protested unfair attacks
on them by- anti-hunt
groups.

May said the
ment has not decided
whether to require
permits. Government
officials have said in the
past that reporters and
protesters would be able
to get permits, if that ap-
proach was adopted, as
ong as they agreed not to
try to disrupt the hunt.

Moore said Greenpeace
expects the government
to pass a special order
just before the hunt
March 10. The order
would require permits
and would be an attempt
to block protest groups.

Moore frequently
clashed with May and Dr.
Harry Rowell, one of
Canada’s top animal
pathologists who has
studied the hunt for years
to make sure the seals
are killed humanely.

But’ the arguments
were mainly re-runs of
the charges, claims,
denials and assertions
which have surrounded
the hunt for years.
DAMAGE
REPUTATION

Moore said the cruelty
of the hunt was ‘the most
damaging single thing for
our international
reputation” while May
said _—incorrect in-
formation being spread
around the world by anti-
hunt groups is hurting
residents on the East
Coast and the Arctic,
among the lowest-income
groups in the country.

May said the depart-
ment “is protecting and
managing a_ renewable
resource and we don’t
make moral judgments
about the resources being
harvested.”

The success of protest
groups in turning in-
{ d& wnmel 0

overn-

Pp
against the hunt has led

to a drop in the world
price for seal pelts, and
Eskimo hunters have
complained of _ the
financial pinch they’re in
even though they bunt
another species of seal.

Some observers have
suggested this lack of
demand might eventually

kill the shipbased hunt .

because there would not

be sufficient financial re-

turns to justify investing

in new ships.

CAN SUSTAIN HUNT
A. statement from

F

Romeo LeBlanc said
scientists have concluded
that at current population
levels, the harp seals
could sustain an annual
hunt of 227,000 to 245,000.
But the 1978 hunt will be
held at three-quarters of
the sustained yield.

May said an economic
study of the hunt for 1976
showed it generated $5.5
million directly and in-

He also said an aerial
survey of the herds last
spring was fairly com-

ete for Newfoundland

ut ran into difficulties
for the Gulf, But it tended
to confirm population
trends scientists have
found through other
analysis and the survey
won't be conducted next

spring.

The hunt for hooded
seals will open 10 days
after the harp season
with a total quota of
15,000 of which Nor-
wegian and Canadian
vessels will get 6,000 each
with the remaining 3,000
available to either
country.

Figures for last spring
indicate that 155,000 o
the 160,000 harp seals
allocated to ships and
Jandsmen were taken

hooded seal quota was
