BenMflIlv mum r uk May Prevent Sockeye Pact From Goin? Into Commons This Year ' OTTAWA, Feb. 10. The sockeye salmon treaty nego-thpd between Canada and the United States last year will have to be redrafted, it is learned here, and the process of reassembling various representatives of these countries and writing the convention all over again will have to be I gone through. This has been necessitated by the action I of the United States government in withdrawing the treaty 'from, the Senate for amendment. In general the altera tions to be made are said to be slight - - and of a nature In which both coun-j tries see eye to eye. It was set forth originally that i the fishing season for sockeye J should open on June 1 and continue 'until August 20, but representa tions for a longer season will likely be acceded to. Another amendment will develop from the discovery that j purse seiners from the state ofi (Washington were going beyond the j limits of the areas restricted for (fishing and carrying on their bus iness in defiance of the principles of the treaty, although in harmony with its terms. An effort will be made to correct this. The calling of the second confer ence may make it impossible to je- this year.
