Halibut Banks t Vx Back; Conservation k 'res Being Attended V Good Results It is a splendid thing to be able to report that the hali trw halibut convention, the. object ot the treaty Is far different, be cause It Is for the purpose of pre serving and if possible increasing the yield of the commercial fishery. It is the first cf Us kind and It must be made to succeed not only for the sake of tho halibut industry but for that of the many other sea fisheries which must some day be cared for If they are to continue. Economics Of Industry The economic of the Industry are left to the fleet and trade. It Is possible that It may prove necessary for the governments to control such things as curtailment systems to spread the catch over a longer season, but that Is a problem by Itself. It Is at present the only duty of the International Fisheries Commission to see that as much fish as possible Is produced, interfering as little as possible with economic processes. The commission has realized from the beginning that this rebuilding of the banks requires accurate facts, upon which It can act, and that good results cannot be obtained otherwise. It has se cured these by -xtenslve and pa be drawn from the past his- tory of the HAS PLAN FOR PEACE RAILWAYS ; OF VALUE Are Greatest Single Factor Country's Devolcpment Walton Declares but banks everywhere on our Pacific coast are improving; .... r.vn nncp jirroin in priori condition, that the rlepline ini VANCOUVER, Oct. In 31: "Fill abundance of halibut has stopped, and" that the nuroberaiSKoojf0 of spawning halibut have been increased, says an article there wui b esomeone here to tei, by G. J. Alexander, provincial commissioner of fisheries I that the greatest single factor in and and Canadian Canadian member of the In-.. i the developments of Vancouver ternatlonal Fisheries Commission, For the first thirty years of this century the story was the very opposite, with decreasing total catch and a declining yield to each fisherman, a decline that only the continual rise In prices during the war period could balance. It was then necessary to look forward to the gradual disappearance of the fishing fleets using the banks off British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska that produced a large share of the world's halibut. That evil pwpect has gone forever, whatever smaller troubles the fleet may face now. The change has come about by a rational treatment of the fishery, based on scientific studies of utmost interest made under the convention between Canada and the United States, the two nations concerned. Other treaties regulating marine fisheries are in existence. But they, for the most part, have to do with the policing of the grounds or with national rl?hti and privileges. One Is an exception, the treaty preserving the fur-seal of the Prl-bllof Islands. But conservation of the fur-seal was arrived at in a very simple fashion elimination of the sealing fleet and all private commercial operations, granting complete control to the United States, the owner of the Prlbllof Inlands where the herds breed.
