Dear Editor:

One of the resolutions
which I recently brought
before my Council to be
submitted to the upcoming
U.B.C.M. Conference in
September dealt with the
need -to have our own
Canadian Merchant Marine.

If Canada were to build its
own merchant marine, some
five to ten thousand new jobs
could be provided on the
North Shore. The economic
spin-off, running into tens of
millions of dollars annually,
would be ai tremendous
boost to the economy of the
whole community.

Today, unfortunately,
Canada has no merchant
marine worthy of the name.

In 1978 the Canadian deep
sea fleet consisted of 185
ships with a total tonnage of
6.8 million. But only 74 of
these ships. with a tonnage
of 805,755 (12 per cent of the
total) were under Canadian
registry. Furthermore only
57 of these Canadian owned
vessels, with a tonnage of
669,760 (10 per cent of the
total ) were built in Canada.

Our good old Canadian
Pacific is one of the worst
offenders. All of its 34 ships
with a tonnage of 2.1 million

Demonstrators
‘flaunted law’

Dear Editor:
After reading your article,
“DISTRICT RAPS

R.C.M.P. OVER SCHOOL
DEMONSTRATION” I
support District council
stand wholeheartedly .

Fhe R.C.M.P_ report
stated “THERE WAS NO
GREAT INCONVENIENCE
TO THE PUBLIC.”

Y was held up in this
“BLOCKADE?” and harassed
verbally by an “EDU-
CATOR”, and consequently
was several minutes late for
work. Would you not say I
was inconvenienced?

By what rights do these
demonstrators have to
illegally block a public road
and then have the left wing
members of council condone
their actions?

In a democracy laws must
be obeyed by all: this also
includes council members
and groups with vested
interests.

A democracy will not
work if groups consider
themselves above the law
and consequently flaunt in
the presence of our children.

(31 per cent of the total) are
under foreign registry and
employ foreign crews.

Isn’t there something
radically . wrong when
Canadian shipowners use
Canadian ports built with
public funds, and make
handsome profits carrying
our natural resources and
manufactured goods _ for
export and yet do not pay
income tax in Canada nor
hire Canadian crews?

To make matters worse,
Canada pays out $3 billion
annually to foreign
shipowners, which con-
tributes greatly to our in-
ternational balance of
payments deficit.

I think we have every right
to demand of Ottawa that it
take steps to :

(a) repatriate Canadian
owned ships and bring them
under Canadian registry,

(b) through the existing

shipbuilding industry and/or

(c) apply the in-
ternationally accepted
40/40/20 formula under
which at least 40 per cent of
our exports and imports
would be carried in Canada’s
own ships.
