and the Russians trawl for crab or
use tangle gear, then both fisher
ies will shortly be gone. If they
won t cease these tactics immedi
ately there won’t be any further
need for conservation rules, regu
lations or agencies. It is clear that
the time is now at hand when we
mus‘ insist that these Russians and
Japanese sit down with us and fig
ure out a formula for dividing up
the many valuable fisheries of the
North Pacific in a peaceful and
sensible, equitable, manner. If they
can agree about things like con
trol of atom bomhs certainly the
fisheries can be worked out. Just
this last week the U.S., Canada,
Russia and Japan were able to
write up a sensible working con
tinuation of the Fur Seal Treaty.
The alternative is the prospect of
shortly seeing the North Pacific
fisheries completely wiped out for
everyone. One thing we must make
absolutely clear to all nations of
the world is that the salmon, crab
and halibut fisheries are ex
clusively ours by historic right.

tention to the following item whicn
appeared in the Oct. 2 issue of the

torial limits in regard to fishing
rights from the present 3-mile lim
