Thur. - Fri. - Saf. - Mon. Only! r i I I Trawlers Fight Extension of Off-Shore Limits in Open Sea By PETER KNOX United Prm International London -flTPI- The oceans of the world are shrinking fait for fishermen. The "keep-out" algn is going up against trawlrrmrn in many areas aa nation after na tion imposes new off-shore limits to protect its own fish ing industry. Just tnis month one such situation became so serious -there was talk of armed conflict bat wean France and Brazil. The old law ef the tea barred foreign fishermen from coming within three miles of another nation's shores. This limit was based on the range of 18th century shore batteries and, in the eyea of many maritime countries, now is as outdated as the old guns themselves. They argue that large for eign trawlers using scientific gear and detection devices must be kept at a distance or their coastal waters will soon be outflshed. Seek New Limits Atvarloua international conferences attempts have been made to get agreement on new limits of six or 12 miles, but all have bean unsuccessful. In 4h aniiJ mI tt.a JlaVt against extension have Derail sucn countries aa Britain wnn large fishing fleets but rela tively small coast lines. Brit ain, for example, can catch In its home waters only about 10 to IS per cent of the fish It needs for local consumption. At the last law of the sea conference in Geneva in 19110 the United States and Canada put forward a compromise proposal that missed becom ing law by only one vote. It provided for a territorial limit of six miles with a fur ther six-mile zone in which coastal states would normally have exclusive fishing rights. To compensate nations that had traditionally fished in the waters of another atate the proposal provided for a 10 year "phase-out" period dur ing which they could carry on fishing in the 6-12 mile zone. The proposal was actually approved by S4 votea to 28 but Hie majority of 28 was just short of the required two thirds needed to make it law. The failure of this and ear lier conferences meant that i he legal limit of three miles remained the internationally recognized line This was too much for some countries, especially those which depend heavily on their fishing: industries aa a main source of income. Iceland led the revolt by unilaterally imposing a 12 mile limit. Britain, which has Iradl tionally fished in Icelandic waters, fought a rearguard ac tion, escorting trawlers Into the dispute zone for a time, but in the end it recognized Iceland's claims. Follow Iceland Norway and Russia fol lowed Iceland in imposing 12 mile limits, and now Denmark has done the same around Greenland. It is under presure also to do It around the Faroes. Dean McCulloch to Speak at Meeting Dean W. F. McCulloch of the school of forestry, Ore gon State university, will speak and present slides on Quebec, Canada, at the meet ing of the Siskiyuu chapter Of American foresters Satur day, April 8, at the Rogue Valley Country club. Other special guests it the meeting will be Profesr and Mrs. Okatoki of Kyoto univer sity, Japan. Professor Oka zoki a visiting professor at Oregon State. Wives and friends of the members arc invited to the social hour, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. and to the dinner at 7:30 p.m. lo be fol lowed by the lecture. This means that In northern waters which provide much of the world's best fish the 12- mlle range is becoming the normal rule for fishermen. Britain, which has stuck to the three-mile limit itself to justify Its claims elsewhere, may soon be going into the 12- mile business itself. Fisher men here are putting pressure on the government to impose it. The Times of London pre- dieted recently that it will not be long before 12 miles Is the accepted limit everywhere. The question that bothers trawlermcn who fish foreign grounds is whether the limit will stop there. Authoritative diplomatic sources say there is little sign of any enthusiasm for another aw of the sea conference. Not this year at least.
