a matter’ for. serious com
by Canadian‘fishermen for years.
While some Canadian” trawlers
have‘to.remain outside.a 12-mile
limit as a Canadian conservation
measure, foreign trawlers. may
and do fish up to the three-mile
limit. .

Last April 26, the world Con-
ference on the Law of the Sea
lat Geneva failed by a single vote
to set. a new universal limit for
territorial waters and exclusive
fishing righys.

Canada and the United States
proposed a. six-mile territorial
limit with countries to have ex-
clusive fishing rights for six more
miles beyond their territorial
waters after 1970. The proposal
was known as the “six plus six.”

The U.S., Portugal, Spain and
France have long held historic
fishing rights off Canada’s east
coast, permitting. them to fish
within three miles of the Cana-
dian shore.

Officials here, both in the fish-
erles and external affairs depart-
ments, were keenly disappointed
by the Geneva failure,

External Affairs Minister
Green has said it will: probably
be a long time before another at-
tempt at a universal law of the

Indications are that Canada,
like Norway, can't wait that long
even though declaration of a 12-
mile Hmit probably. would pro-
duce a first-class ruckus, espe-
