OTTAWA (CPl ——'I‘he former and the present ministers of fisheries disagreed Thursday on where the base points for Can- ada's proposed lZ-mile fishing zone can be established -— on land or at sea.

J. Angus MacLean. former Conservative fisheries minister. said the wording of the govern- ment's measure establishing a 12-mile territorial zone off the coastline is not precise in loca- ting the base points.

He suggested a future. goveia- ment could set the base poinis out to sea—thus extending the 12-mile limit even farther.

But Fisheries Minister Roblv chaud. appearing before the Commons committee on marine and fisheries. said the geo- graphical co-ordinates would be based on a point of land. To 00 otherwise would violate inter- national practice. he said.

No government would have the authority or right to estao Iish base points that went

elude a clause to indicate that Canada has no intention of establishing base points for the 12 - mile territorial sea that would fly in the face of Inter- national practice.

The marine-fisheries commit- tee is studying the government measure that would extend the present three-mile fishing zone to 12 miles. The legislation eni- powers the cabinet to set the base points from which the 12- mile limit would be extended.

Frank Howard (NDP Skeenal said the l2-mile limit by itself will not help Canadian efforts to conserve fisheries supplies.

Mr. Roblchaud said it would have to be. supplemcnted by

inle rnational conventions to safeguard species that migrate into international waters. l
