Oscar Dyson Undertakes Program To
Get National Support For Fishermen
Kodiak area fishermen are seek
ing the support of national organi
zations in their fight to protect
their rights and interests and pre
serve the fisheries of the North
Pacific from increasing depreda
tions by foreign fleets, according
to Oscar Dyson.
The following program was sent
to the National Guard Convention
being held in Philadelphia with
General Norris, Dyson advised the
Mirror:
“We, The Fishermen of Alaska, unhesitatingly support the fol
lowing points as necessary requirements if we are to maintain and
keep our Fisheries and fishing rights:
(1) THE ADOPTION OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF
POLICY.
(2) THE 12 MILE FISHING BOUNDARY LIMIT:
The 12 mile fishing boundary is not to be confused with
the International Travel Law. — This is a fishing boun
dary only. This has already been adopted by most nations
of the world today—they include: Russia, China, Al
bania, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Greenland, and the
Faroe Islands; of the developing countries, the Cam
eroons, Ghana, Malagasy Republic, Morocco, Senegal,
Sudan and Tunisia. Others are Ireland, Panama, Uru
guay and Brazil considers all fisheries out to the edge
t of the continental shelf. Canada has announced they
plan to extend to the 12 mile fishing zone in May of
next year. Great Britain has abrogated treaties in prep
aration for extension, and Mexico is also considering an
extension. Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica claim out to the 200 mile zone.
(3) TO FIGHT FOR THE ABSTENTION PRINCIPLE OF
UNITED STATES FISHERIES.
(4) CONTROL OF TARIFFS ON FISHING IMPORTS.
(5) FEDERAL PROTECTION OF AMERICAN FISHING
GEAR IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS.

Senate Approves
Bartlett’s Boat
Subsidy Bill
The Senate Thursday passed the
bill authorizing the payment of a
subsidy for the construction of fish
ing vessels in the United States.
Senator Bartlett joined in spon
soring this legislation, held hear
ings on the legislation and reported
the bill on the floor of the senate.
The Senator said “This is a great
day for American fishermen. This
legislation has been needed for
many years. It is imperative that
we give to the American fisher
men an opportunity to compete on
an equal basis with his foreign com
petitors. Fishermen in the United
States are required to build their
vessels in high-cost American ship
yards. This has proven to be a ser
ious inequity and a burden on the
United States fishermen with no
appreciable advantage to Ameri
can shipyards.”
The House of Representatives
has completed hearings on the leg
islation but the House Merchant
Marine and Fisheries Committee
has not reported the bill out of
committee.
The Senator expressed great sat
isfaction at receiving favorable ac
tion both on his bill providing for
penalties on foreign vessels taking
fish within the territorial waters
or the continental shelf and on the
vessel construction subsidy legisla
tion in the same week.
