"It is not enough to know that we will always have peace be- tween our countries, as wonderful as‘ this relation which we accept la only natural, must seem to the people of many similarly situ- ltad nations. “We must continue to have the kind of co-operation between our Governments that makes it pos- Iible to base all regulations in regard to trade including tariffs and currency exchange on a smi- patlietic understanding of each othere needs. And these needs are continually changing and regulations will have to be revis- ed aguin and again as conditions change or d ccls in existing laws cause hardships that need to be lmnedied. ‘There is no better example of international accord in the world than that exemplified in the International Halibut and Salmon Commissions through which the United States and Canada joint- l: have developed and protected these two invaluable fisheries on the Paclllc Coast. "Clmrlle Jackson first won the admiration and friendship of a host of Canadians through his work with both of these interna- tional bodies of which he was e. member for many ycars. "Perhaps it is within the realm d possibility that his vast ex- perience in ibis international field may stand our two coun- tries in good stead. in the immedi- ate future in respect of the prob- lems of the North Atlantic and 'i;he Great Lakes fisheries. "The United States fishing in- dustry has already done a won- dgrfu] job in regard to wide dis- tribution. of fish in their own country and now the National Iloherles Institute is making an intensive advertising campaign to still further i crease home-con- sumption and ‘e wish them every nuoceai in obtaining the desired reauits.
