D. Taylor, M. P., for. New Westminster, have been urging the government to “ttake this stand for a number of years. Mr. W..A. Found of the .de- making an investigation for Hon. J. D, Hazen, minister of fisheries, and he strongly advises that Canada withdraw from the treaty unless ‘the United © States. take His: report deals very. strongly - with the situation in British Columbia. Mr. Found says: -. “In British Columbia the situa- tion is particularly acute. There _|we have an annual elose season for sockeye fishing from October 1 to June 80; for quinnat salmon from October 1 to November 15, and for humpbacks from Novem- ber 15 to January 1, a8 well as a weekly close season of 42 hours and-in a.. portion of the Fraser River, three years out of four, of 48 hours, and a total cessation of _|salmon fishing in the Fraser river district from August 25 to Sep- tember 15, all of which are being conalatently enforced except that last year the close seagon from August 25to September 15 was ‘|reseinded for that year only in the hope that the ‘international regulations would be in force be- fore another season. ‘Tn the state of Washington, while there is a close seasons for sockeye fishing from. August 25 to September 15, and a weekly close time of 36 hours, no attempt is made to enforce either, nor do the fisherman ever seem to think of abiding by them. The inter- national regulations provide a close .season for all salmon from ‘August 25 and a weekly close | time Of 48 hours. “Mr, Found adda in his. report: ‘“‘As the salmon have to run the | gauntlet of the United States nets along the coast of Washington state before reaching the Fraser Wi the United States fishermen have the first chance atthem, and they # |are making the best-of it to such mf jan extent that the future of the fishing in the Fraser seems . }doomed funless more restrictive regulations aré enforced i in Wash- ington State, notwithstanding that the fish are all making for the Fraser River to spawn, . and where we carry on hatching on a very extensive seale, Hence the anxiety of Canada- for adequate regulations to be fairly enforced by both countries in the perman- ent interest of both.” For quite a number of -years it has been felt that.if the fisheries in boundary waters and partic- ularly in the Great Lakes, . were ‘common laws and regulations by thetwo countries. It was useleas for one country to have strict {regulations and the - other lax ones,: The situation as far as the|- Great Lakes was growing serious jand they were-in danger of being depleted.” On. the .Great Lakes and tlie Pacific, Canadian reg- ulations in. .régard . to fishing have always: been more rigid arid more atrietly enforced than in the various boundary states,.
