FORESTS AND FISHES
The fishery biologist is vitally
concerned with forests. He kriewe
that trees and woodlands catch
•and hold the water during the
time of the year 'when precipita-
tion • is high, releasing it grad-
ually during the summer. Ie for-
ested region's :thespring floods
are • gentle; the streams " run.
throbghout . the year, cool and .
clear; erosion with its consequent
siltis held to a''minimum.; Simply
stated, to have'. fish, .,there mutt.
be trees over a considerable' pee,
thenon
'i' • of t ' 'he watershed that 'u -
t p '
'plies the streams. .
Right ,Temperature
'
The . existence . of the br-ook
trout 'iq'Ontario •is' closely' de-
pendent on the. forests. Like all
other creatures they leave certain
definite physical and. chemical`
requirements of the . environment
in which• they live. Of these., tem-
perature of the water seems to
have great .power as a limiting
factor. If the water in the stream
is too warm, there will be no
trout; , if. `too cold, the food is
scanty "or non-existent and •again
there will be few or no trout-.
This temperature :range is quite,'
narrow, from 45. degrees to 65
degrees • witli . a, variation, either"
way of ? degrees, and within
these limits the trout passes. its
whole' existence.
Trees Along Streams
Water from the earth is :usually
at 55 degrees, winter or summer.
This is close • to the 'meet suitable
temperature for the.,. •speckled'
trout:' , In • shaded valleys the
spring -fed . stream ' is Protected
from the surf ' and wind but in'
the open ''fields. it soon .warms.,.
Trees along the watercourses are
an insurance againstwarm water.
so ' a' landowner, to keep condi-
tions right
ondi-tions°right for the trout, should'
plant . trees along the va•iley, • close
to the stream,. and should protect
those 'that.ar•e already there..

New 'Canada -U. S. Agreement
On Defense Is Momentous
History was made last week . in
a railway .car on a remote cone=
try sliding near Ogdensburg;' N.Y.,
when the. Prince Minister of Can-
ada, Mackenzie.. King,. and 'the
President pf the United States,
Franklin D. Roosevelt,. met for a
four-hour conference and . came
to an • agreement which is ' one
of the .most • momentous ever rec-
orded in the annals ,of •this hemi-
sphere. Mr. • King and Mr. Roose-
velt discussed the mutual prob-
lemsof defense in •relation to the
safety, of Canada and the U. So
and, : following their meeting, 1\3 -
sued' a statement outlining the
three provisions agreedupon: es-
tablishment of a joint U.SeCan-
adain' , board .of' defense; this
board to "commehce immediate
studies• relating to sea,, land :and
air problems, including person-
nel and material;" .plans for con-
sidering the defense of the north-
ern _ half of ' the • western . hemi-
sphere.. Thus . was cemented the
closest bond yet set up between

Toward Mutual Assistance Pact
The significance of ' the ne:v
agreement was 'not likely to be
realized in its entirety formany
a long day. Political observers
meantime saw' in it an indication
that a mutual assistance pact be-•
• tween Canada and in the United
States might ' be in the making;
that the Roosevelt administration
intended to blanket the Dominion
under the protecting' folds of the
Monroe doctrine; that the .armed
forges of the two countries might

• British -U.S. Union'?
The.,Ogdensburg agreement was
followed immediately by a sensa-
tional move on . the part of Bri-
tain. • Speaking in the ,,House oe
Commons, Prime Minister Churc
hill stated that '99 -year lease's 'oft,
sea and • air bases in Newfound
land, Atlantic Islands (perhaps..
:a .reference; to' Bermuda)'. and
. West Indian points had, been of-
fered to• the United States. Next'
day', Briteeh 'foreign 'office souse-.
es confirrhed ;reports that the 'Un•
-
'ited States had leased the Islands
of Canton and Enderby (midway.
between Hewaii'..'and :Australia)'
froth .Great Britain as air bases.:
, Seeds sof, the Future
'These developments gave • an
inipetus to ' movements to : both
Great . Britain ...and‘ the United
States 'working .for union of •the
two great powers. Many prophet's'
'envisioned. a' coming world' in
which five mammoth groups of
countries (English, German, Rus-
sian,. •Japanese, . Italian)' ' would.
struggle amongst themselves for
trade,: combine and re -combine'
.against, one 'another' to' keep a
.balance of power.
In' his same speech • to the
..House • 'Me. . Churchill ..edeclared
!that Britain sought• no advantage
'for herself from the offer to
lease. the New World bases, but
he did appeal for ."timely' reit-
Iona-tent" of Britain's , navy'
from .,the United •States --ran ap-
parent reference to recent discus-
sions of 'United ''States' aid in•
filling gaps in• the British fleet
with over -age destroyers.
• A Year of 'War
Retiewing the year of war just
coming to •a close, Mr. Churchill
'found 'the' scales 'heavier on . tifS
side of Britain. He acknowledg-
ed that .a ,"cataract of • disaster".
had poured out during the last
three ••months—the ' Netherlands
and Belgium .canquet'ed, France
forced out, Italy in the War
against Britain, :Somaliland gone..
•But, on the' other side, he said,
"we have re -armed and re-buiit'
our armies in a degree v hire
would have been deemed impos-
sible a' few menthe ago; our navy
is far stronger than it Was at the
beginning of the •war; our bomb- '
,er and fighter strength after' all
'this fighting is larger than•it.has
ever been; our advantages and
resources are enormous." (Bri-•
tish casualties in the first year of
this war• .reached 92,000,. includ-
ing .civilians, as against •365',0'00
army and navy losses in the first
year of the last war ).
Speaking: even as three waves
of German bombers roared. a-
cross' Britain's coast, renewing
the furious assault of 'the Nazi
air siege, Mr. Churchill let fall
enigmatic words: • "We may be
sure that Hitler will continue, his
-air attacks as long as he hat the
strength and as long as any pre-
occupations he may have in re -.
