Better no agreement than

new salmon treaty—Union

A draft of a new salmon treaty
between Canada and the U.S. is ‘‘a
completely inferior agreement
which is disastrous to our
resource,”’ United Fishermen and
Allied Workers Union secretary
treasurer George Hewison
revealed this week.

Hewison, an advisor and ob-
server at the “Boundary and
Reciprocal Fisheries Talks” said
that the latest draft is another
retreat by Canada before an
aggressive U.S. bargaining
position.

The options open to Canadian
fishermen seem to have been
narrowed, Hewison said, to either
accepting the inferior agreement
with the U.S. over salmon in-
terceptions from the Fraser River,

or else go without any agreement.
“Down this road could lie a fish
war over salmon with all its
possible ramifications,” he war-
ned.

But the proposed agreement is so
disadvantageous for Canada that it
would be better with no agreement,
he said.

Canada has apparently backed
off its long held position that U.S.
fishermen should be phased out of
the Fraser River salmon catch, a
completely Canadian resource. In
1971, the U.S. signed an agreement
with Canada agreeing to the
concept of Canadian salmon for
Canadian fishermen.

But the current draft treaty
would give to the U.S.: —

e the same amount of sockeye
and pinks as the U.S. has enjoyed
historically — about 2.1 million
sockeye annually and 2.5 million
pinks on the odd year.

e more rigid management and
more closures in San Juan,
Johnstone Strait, the Gulf and the

river, including trollers off the ©

West Coast to allow the U.S. catch
to be expressed as a percentage of

Vietnam aid
urged by VOW -

The Voice of Women, meeting in
its national conference in Toronto
last weekend, sent an urgent
telegram to B.C. premier Bill
Bennett calling on the government
to live up to its commitment to
send $2.25 million of humanitarian
aid to Vietnam.

The telegram read: ‘“‘Voice of
Women members meeting in

Toronto from--across» Canada-~

strongly urge you and your
government to implement the
Province of British Columbia’s
1973 commitment, approved
unanimously by all parties, to send
medical aid to the children of
Vietnam, in the amount of $2.25
million. dollars. This promise
should be honored immediately, in
spirit and in fact, and without
further argument or excuses.

“For the sake of the self-respect
of the people of British Columbia,
for the integrity of its elected
representatives, and to relieve
some of the suffering of the people
of Vietnam, whose current plight is
well documented by recent visitors
of the highest repute, such as
Nancy Pocock, Canadian Friends
Service (Quakers), Dr. Lotta
Hitschmanova, Unitarian Service
Committee and Sheldon Turcotte

all fish rather than a percentage
with the Convention area;

@an additional undetermined
U.S. catch of sockeye and pinks for
recent investments on the Fraser
such as Weaver Creek and Nadina,
which the Americans claim they
have been inadequately com-
pensated for.

What does Canada get? We get
the right to go it alone on the
Fraser by footing the bills for
enhancement.

All Canada will get out of the
deal, Hewison said, is “the right to
foot the bills for salmon enhan-
cement on the Fraser.”

“The government’s reasoning —
faulty in my opinion — is that the
U.S. is politically and economically
more powerful than Canada. The
negotiation of a salmon agreement
becomes the ‘“‘art of the possible’.

“The fishermen must hold the
government responsible for the
development of a fair» and
equitable agreement. If necessary,
Canada must flex a little muscle in
other areas — energy and mineral
resources — to ensure a fair deal.”’

If the government wanted to face
up to the U.S. intransigence at the
negotiations it could allow
Canadian fishermen to mount
offshore fishing expeditions to
catch Fraser River stocks before
they reach U.S. waters, he
suggested.

There could be problems with
that approach and for conservation
reasons it would perhaps be
necessary to close Johnstone
Straits and the Fraser River more
often through the duration of such
a fish war.

“But the alternative of allowing
the U.S. to dictate terms of an
agreement in which the two areas
would be closed anyway, is
perhaps even more distasteful,’’ he
said..

ZAYED GAMIET. . . condemns
Rhodesian raids on refugee
camps in Zambia and Mozambi-
que.

SAAC condemns
bombing raids
on refugee camp

The South African Action
Coalition this week condemned the
“unprovoked aggression of the
illegal Smith regime in Rhodesia
into Zambia and Mozambique.’

Zayed Gamiet, chairman of the
Vancouver based coalition, called
the bombing raids over Patriotic
Front refugee camps a “‘last
desperate action of a regime
determined to maintain political
control by a white minority con-
stituting less than 5 percent of the
population.”’

SAAC called on “‘the government
and people of British Columbia” to
give humanitarian aid for refugees
affected by the raids. President
Kuanda of Zambia has stated that
napalm bombs were used in the
attacks, Gamiet pointed out.

“SAAC calls upon the people of
B.C. to support the legitimate
struggle of the people of Zimbabwe
for independence,” he said, ‘‘and
to urge the Canadian government
to call for economic sanctions

~. through the United Nations against
the South African government for
its continued military and financial
support to the Smith regime.”

Carter decision protested

production of the neutron bomb.”

In a telegram to prime minister
Trudeau, the Coalition spokesman
voiced alarm at the Carteér decision
and urged the PM: ‘‘We appeal to
you to protest this provocative
action and suggest the necessity of
an immediate conclusion of a
SALT II treaty.”

Roberts also reminded Trudeau
of his earlier remarks, telling him:
“We support your statement at the
NATO conference that ‘the best
way to scale down the equilibrium

of terror is to negotiate away the
spiral of weapon development and
deployment.’ ”’ S

The B.C. Peace Council also
voiced its protest over the Carter
‘decision and declared in a wire to
Trudeau: ‘We view with great
alarm president Carter’s decision
to proceed with neutron bomb
components and the danger this

- presents to world peace.

“We appeal to you to use
Canadian influence in NATO to
refuse deployment of the N-bomb,”
Peace Council president John
Beeching said.
