A CCF member bolted his party in the Commons, % ever, likely will flow from last Oc- tober's meeting here of Prime Min- ister St. Laurent and provincial premiers. From it came a federal sugges- tion by which provinces would re- hortage of sockeye to continue at least three provinces had elections which brought no change in their governments, and a federal-pro- vincial conference was held which may do much to alter the complex relationships within Canada's fed- eral union.

It would replace the tax rental agreements existing with all provinces except Quebec. Under those the central administration has been--with one minor excep-| tion in Ontario--the sole collector | of direct taxes in nine provinces. | Follow-up negotiations have con-| tinued. Present rental agreements don't expire until March 31, 1957. The federal proposal, in essence, involves sharing with provinces on set ratios the fields of personal and corporation income tax and suc- cession duty where provinces ac- tolls on taxpayers.

A small British Columbia sock- eye salmon pack--which did cause concern--and a drop in Atlantic codfish were the main downward tems. LATE RECOVERIES An earlier steep decline in Brit- agreement difficulties between o erators and fishermen, was largely] made up in late-year fishing. New Brunswick sardines, strangely missing in the summer and early fall, put in a late appear- ance and much of the earlier loss until the cycle year of 1958. That will keep prices up to the limit. And we expect widespread clos. ures of salmon-fishing areas next year in a stepped-up program of conservation." The total British Columbia salmon pack won't be down much in volume because of a heavy catch 'of pinks -- 815,000 cases against last year's 315000 -- but dollar value will be much less be- cause of the decrease in the more valuable sockeye. British Columbia halibut also was down substantially following a heavy catch last year which re- sulted in a softening of prices.

Press shows. | In Europe and in Asia, a tremen- dous increase in the number of motorized vehicles since the Sec- ond World War has outstripped efforts to keep them moving. New York's jams can be matched on the Thames, the eSine and the Tiber. Parking space may be even scarcer in Amsterdam than in Tor- onto. Tourists tell grim stories on trying to cross Tokyo streets or to catch a bus in Rio de Janeiro. Europe and Asia have hundreds of cities that were great centuries ago. They can't be changed with- out wholesale destruction of his- toric monuments and desperately needed housing. Experts think London will reach the point of paralysis in four years --and Paris in two. Some in Stock- holm believe that city is only months away. Here are some samplings of what happens when there are too many people in too many cars: London Ever sifice the 1600s experts and the civic-minded have been trying to untangle traffic in the meander- ing streets, lanes, byways, squares and circles. The number of ve- hicles continues to mount. | There is no official over-all plan to cope with the problem, although | a new highway along the Thames, ! overhead monorail transport and moving sidewalks have been pro posed. Hard-headed planners want parks turned into parking Its and thousands of statutes pulled down. Nobody is doing much about any of these ideas. Pull down the Albert Memorial? Paris Almost a century ago Napoleon Il turned Baron Haussman loose on Paris and let him ruthlessly cut through it with wide boule vards, magnificent vistas, dozens of wide squares and arterial high- ways. But Haussman didn't know the automobile was coming and little has been done since. The chief of police says in two years traffic conditions will be "pjust im- possible." Any tourist can get the idea of what's in prospect by try Rome Many of Rome's narrow streets| are more than 1,000 years old. As in London and Paris, merchants complain that the jams, the lack of parking and solutions like one- way streets and non-stop areas all hurt business. Retailers are mov- ing to the suburbs but congestion downtown is still bad. The Italian Automobile Association is studying a plan for Roman drivers to take turns using the streets. Those with blue badges could drive on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays and those with red the other days. ! Motor scooters and motorcycles are the bane of Italian traffic. The] police may soon require their riders to have drivers' licences, which should cut italy's accident rate--the world's highest.
