FORTHCOMING NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES
FOR A CONVENTION ON PINK SALMON | |
|
We have been informed by the Deputy Minister of Fisheries of a recent discussion with United States Fisheries officials about a convention for pink salmon. The Department of Fisheries have felt for some time that it would be desirable to bring Pacific coast pink salmon under the Sockeye Salmon Convention, and to provide for some type of regulation as now applies for sockeye salmon, and for a division of the catch between the United States and Canada. Mr. Sinclair made a public speech along these lines several weeks ago, at a meeting of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union, in Vancouver. At the end of April, this matter was discussed with United States officials, and it was decided that there should be negotiations on a pink salmon convention similar to the Sockeye Salmon Convention, and the date for these negotiations was tentatively set for next September. It is proposed that the convention should be placed under the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission, which now administers the Sockeye Salmon Convention. At the same time, the Canadian Department of Fisheries would seek to have the status of the Commission altered somewhat, to bring it more under the authority of the two governments, and thus bring it into line with the more recent fisheries conservation conventions. It was decided that the Japanese Government would be notified confidentially well in advance of the intention to start these negotiations. R. M[ACDONNELL]
