The United States fisheries Bur-i can has been endeavouring to as; certain the present condition of tho. supply in thr fisheries off the coast‘ of New England. it is the purposel of the investigation‘ to determine whether or not the supply of cod,“ mackerel and haddock in these‘ waters is ill danger of depletion, a danger which, if it exilsrs, threat- ens to become lllore serious by the possibility that Ellropcan fleets may extend their fishing operations to coastal waters oi New England. tMr. Radcliffe declared that it was dlifficttlt to say whether there were more or less fish in these wa-tcra now than 20 years ago, for the reason that the level produc- tion has been almost a fllflllgili.‘ line for many years. The reason for the unchanging amount oi‘ iiflll caught. he explained, was that only a deiln-ite quantity of fish could be marketed. ' tl-ic pointed out, however, that the innovation in the merchandis- ing of fish by the fllletillg brine- frcezing process, etc, had resulted in a recent steady increase ill pro- duction. He stressed the import- mll-o of investigation, therefore. so that the condition 0i those fish- eries may be known before tivlliel‘ ion begins. lRtldtrliifn pointed out that. ille problem oi these fisheries was es- pecially difficult. because neither the United States nor Canada could regulate ‘tilem, such regula-

lion.

Referring to the danger that European fleets might come to New England waters, lVir. Radclif- fe pointed out that these flflell‘ lurvc left the North Sea and llllve gone to Iceland. up around tho coast of Greenland in Davis Strait. Forty such vessels visited Davis Strait last year, he said, addlllgi "lr there is a great influx of fish- ing lvesseis on our own coasts we do not know what the effect. will ‘be. We do not know what they will stand." r

'He said that if the danger is be-< coming acute an international con- vention to consider IIIBQUBBUOII or to consider what limit is necessary, to he placed on these areas to pre-
