Being

everybody
the
same
way.
Sticking
to
Treaties
THE
House
of
Commons
is
urged
by
an
all-party
.
committee
to
ratify
the
Fisheries
Treaty
which
has
been
negotiated
between
United
States,
Japan
an!
Canada.
After
a
thorough
testing
and
debate
of
the
issues
by
a
special
committee
of
Members
of
Parliament,
the
treaty
has
been
approved.
'
One
main
objection
has
been
raised
by
the
fishermen
of
British
Columbia
represented
by
their
union
official.
The
objection,
which
also
nullifies
the
entire
treaty
as
proposed,
is
to
clauses
permitting
Japanese
to
fish
in
north
Pacific
waters
for
other
species
of
fish
than
those
now
fished
extensively
by
American
and
Canadian
commercial
fishermen.
The
fishermen's
union
also
would
ban
Japanese
from
fishing
salmon
on
the
high
seas
within
several
hundred
miles
from
our
shores.
As
was
pointed
out
by
several
members
of
the
Commons
committee
in
its
hearing
of
the
treaty,
such
a
restraint
on
any
country
would
violate
international
laws
of
freedom
on
the
high
was.
The
treaty
appears
to
have
taken
into
consideration
all
the
major
and
salient
points
which
will
guarantee
conservation
of
our
fishing
industry
but
only
if
the
clauses
in
it
are
followed
to
the
letter.
It
will
therefore
behoove
our
country,
the
U.S.
and
Japan
to
see
to
it,
if
the
treaty
is
ratified,
that
it
is
obeyed.
So
many
treaties
have
been
broken
in
the
past.
