(CP)
The

Senate
yesterday
confirmed
the
revised
treaty
with
Canada
covering
conservation
of
halibut
fishing
in
the
North
Pacific
Ocean
and

Sea.
The
newly

treaty
modifies
the
regulations
in
regard
to
international
administration
of
the
fishing
in
these
waters.
The
International
Fisheries
Commission,
,
-
among
other
things,
is
now
given
power
to
set
a
date
upon
which'
boats
may
clear
for
their
final
trips
of
the
season.
This
will
be
Instead
of
setting
an
arbitrary
date
upon
which
all
fishing
must
cease.
It
will
give
the
vessels
a
chance
to
fill

LONDON.
-March

tCP)
Dino
Grand),
Italian
ambassador
to
Great
Britain,
created
a
sensation
last
night
by
the
declaration
of
personal
opinion,
which
he
explained
was
not
official,
that
not
a
single
Italian
volunteer
would

dntll
the
civil
Avar
in
that
country
was
absolutely
ended.
The
declaration
caused
ail
delegates
to
the
non-intervention
committee
to
rush
communications
to
their
home
governments
for
Instructions.
Russian
representatives
expressed
fear
that
such
an
attitude
might
lead
to
a
more
widespread
conflict.
Following
the
reverses
which
Italian
troops
have
suffered
while
fighting
in
support
of
the
Insurgents,
the
belief
is
held
here
that
Italy
will
rush
more
reinforcements
into
Spain.
There
Is
believed
to
be
a
possibility
of
Premier
Mussolini
withdrawing:
from
the
non-intervention
pact.
A
sub-committee
of
the

of
