Liberal member for East Elgin, told the Legislature, in the dragging hours of the' debate last night, a fish story which had mort of the mtltpuersrprescnt "at the alert." Mr. Miller's story was of the ling--- the fresh-water cod, which. he claimed, is competing to such an extent with the Whitefish and the herring in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario that it behooves the Government to take immediate steps to formulate some scheme to combat the problem presented by the ravages ot this cannibal fish. The colder water of Lake Ontario was more suited to the growth and spread ot this fish than Lake Erie's, and as a consequence most of the pres- ent-day complaint about the fish was coming from the former lake fishermen. He stressed the point that a high-grade oil is obtainable from the livers ..r these fish, and he wondered if sufficient rc- scrves ot oil could not be piled tor-- as trom the salt-water cod in New- tountiland---to make worth while the efforts of the fishermen who nowadays are catching nothing but ling, and are compelled to throw them away as worthless. Mr. Miller also asked the Gowmmont to give some study to the idea of ex- tractlng the "yellow" coloring from the fish. This accomplished. would mean. he said. that the fish would Income a good table food and worth considerable money. . . o Bees E il g N thl d um tn) In or an M Vi ' . .

Urges Government to Give More Consideration to Question Thomas J. Mahoney (Conservative, South Wentworth) told the House that in 1925. when the tax was levied, there had been no objection from the grow- ers. At that time, he said, imported wines and "beer at cost" were not com- peting with the native products. To- day it was a different story. He urged the Government to give a little more consideration to the situation in which the manufacturers and the growers now found themselves. The Government ot Ontario, he con- tended. was making a profit of 125 per can} on, it? sale of native wines. "I submit," said he, "that if protita are necessary to this extent it would be much better to get them from im- ported wines and imported liquors rather than from our native-grown products."
