He and Fulton have offered to co- ordinate the establishment of the proposed examination committee, in hopes that federal assistance will be committed during the next couple of weeks.

INSURANCE THE PROBLEM By ED YUDIN Herald Staff Writer The failure of the Clark government to take firm action on the Tuna War could result in continuing problems for the B.C. fishing in- dustry, according to Skeena M.P. Jim Fulton. “I suspect that because of the lack of action from our secretary of state, this tuna war is going to continue to escalate and we're going to rum into more and more difficulties within the whole of the fishing industry both in terms of exports and in terms of jurisdiction,” he said. “It’s been a real shortcoming of the new cabinet to not have moved more quickly and diplomatically on this issue.” Fulton says the Clark government should have made protesis on the international level as soon as the dispute hegan. He says the court system hasn’t been acting quick enough or in any sort of deterent form. Fulton blames the seizure insurance put out by the American government as the instigator of the dispute. “What it means is that it is very similar to there being billboards in the State of Washington saying: ‘Planning to go on rob a bank in Van- couver? — Pick up your robbery insurance before you go," Fulton went on to explain that American fishermen are thus able to break Canadian law knowing in advance they are not taking any real sks. _ Hurricane Fredrick leaves trail MOBILE, Ala.
