The report on Australian In- talligence organizations found them fragmented and poorly or- ganized and co-ordinated. The report was In the hands of the government before the al- legations started last week ‘of clandestine CtA spying in Aus- tratia. But the findings seem certain to be used to support claims that the CIA was able to de- ceive Australia about the scope of Its activities in the cauntry.

Graham CP Correspondent AUCKLAND, N.Z. {CP} Spurred by. the declarations of 200-mile economic zones off the . coasts of Soviet Asia and other Northern ‘Hemisphere regions, {ilshing vessels of several nations are invading the South Pacific in unprecedented numbers. Alter an aerial survey, ‘the New Zealand defence depart- ment reported the presence of 399 forelgn fishing vessels off the coasis, 376 of them less than 200 miles from shore. Most of the vessels are Japanese, but they include also ships from Russia, Taiwan and the United Sfates. Vessels fram South Korea, Romania and other countries have been reported recently. New Zealand waters are rich in varietles of fish of high commercial value and the local industry catches only a small proportion of available sup- piles. ~ The Japanese have thought It worthwhile for many years to come thousands of miles te harvest the rich bounfy off the New Zealand coasts. At present | a 12-mile fishing zone is en: forced. An agreement has been made with Japan to observe this limit and Japanese vessels found infringing it are disciplined on their return to Japan, FLEETS DOUBLE However, the declaration of 200-mile economic zones in other parts of the world is forcing ever more vessels of other nationalities to waters still not subject to restriction. in the past two years the number of forelgn vessels off the New Zealand coast has doubled.” Even British trawlers, displaced from Icelandic waters, are reported to ‘be contemplating transferring to New Zealand. Anyone on regular com. mercial flights near the New Zealand coasts at night sees . virtual citles of briiliantly Wt flares and searchlights clustering round the coasts at a distance of a few miles. Foreign vessels and... their, attendant the night as well as by day. From the air It almost looks as though the country Is closely invested by offshore besiegers. The establishment of a 200- mile economic zone off the New Zealand coasts Is expected soon. It has been under con- sideration for several years and itis thought that the invasion by foreign fishing fleets is partly influenced by the Idea of establishing ‘‘traditional’’ rights as a factor for future negotlation. At present New Zealand Is strained In resources even 1o enforce the 12-mile fishing zone. . If a 200-mile economic zane Is declared, there would be little prospect of policing It ef- fectively without a real Increase in alr force and naval sur- veillance facilities. CONCERN GROWS The New Zealand experience Is typical of that in many parts of the South Paelfic. Concern is growlng at tempting offers of _ economic assistance made by Russia to smail island nations like Tonga and Western Samoa. Offers have been made to assist In airport building and other facHities, and the belief is that the Russians would want shore- based facilities for fishing fleets In return. Russia has previously made requesis to New Zealand for shore facilities for fisheries vessels, but the approaches have been declined. But the FOREIGN MINISTERS Boycott of games By JOHN HAY LONDON (CP) — Canadian External Affairs Minister Don Jamieson launched a series of pre-summit ministerial meet- ings Thursday with a call on Shridath Ramphal, secretary- general of the Com- monwealth. Jamieson’s spokesman said chief topics at the meeting were plans for the Commonwealth leaders’ meeting next month ‘and continuing efforts to avoid a boycott of the 1978 Com- monwealth Games to be held in Edmonton. More than 20 Commonwealth members are threatening to boycott the Games unless New Zealand stops tis sports con- tacts with South Africa. - New Zealand Prime Minister Robert Muldoon has insisted the’ Cammanwealth Games are nat important enough to budge him from the principle that New Zealanders should be permitted te play where they want without government interference. While Prime Minister Trudeau and other leaders ar- rive today for their weekend summit, Jamieson ‘had -meet- . ings ‘scheduted with U.S. State Secretary Cyrus Vance and - Japanese Foreign Minister II- chiro Hatoyama. Among subjects likely to be ralsed with Vance are the U.S.- ‘subject of talks Canada talks on new maritime boundarles. small tropical Island nations have fewer economic resources and are consequently thought te. be the more vulnerable to ap- proaches from the Russians or other nations. Already the prospect has brought increased offers of economic assistance from countries like Australia. New Zealand and the United States, but Ifis far from certain that the alternative plans are suf- ficiently attractive to deter the Island states from accepting tempting Soviet propositions. The whole topic Is likely to be, the central Issue at a meeting of the South Pacific Forum tn August. This grouping is a fairly infermal meeting of heads of state of South Pacific countries and It meets at Irregular in- tervals ta discuss, matters of mutyal concern. If the Law of the Sea Con- - ference fails to reach a con- sensus before August, It Is likely that the South Paciflc Forum will. recommend joint declarations of 200-mile economic zones by all South Pacific countries.
