"I am not at liberty to decide such a question," Robichaud replied. "It would require discussion with the external affairs people and the government. Of course, if Japan does this, there is a new situation and I can't say now what would be done." JAPANESE THREATS
In arguing for a multi-nation treaty, the Union, through spokesman Homer Stevens, said that Japan has warned that she is preparing to pull out of the treaty unless she gets her wish "which paeans removing the abstention on salmon, halibut, and herring."
In support of this claim, Stevens quoted a statement which originally appeared last May 15 in the Japanese language newspaper Yomiuri and which was released on May 23 by the US embassy in Tokyo.
"Japan," the paper said, "cannot yield an inch because, if she again accedes to the unfair voluntary abstention principle at this time wnen she can negotiate on an equal footing, the Soviet Union will also, as a matter of course, try to revise the Japan-Soviet Fisheries Treaty three years hence by similarly incorporating into it the voluntary abstention principle' in order to shut Japan out from salmon and salsnon trout fisheries."
This stand has been reiterated more recently by Japanese sources.
The Japan Fishery Association, which speaks for the Japanese fishing industry, was quoted in the August issue of Pacific Fisherman, a US trade journal, as stating that "Japan should not hesitate to withdraw from the present treaty if the US and Canada should not respond to Japan's proposal" to abolish the principle of abstention.
"The Japanese fishing industry, which has to have negotiations every year on fisheries treaties with the Soviet Union, the Republic of Korea, and the Republic of China, will not accept a step of retreat from the essential part of the government draft," the Association stated.
"The potential of all other Pacific nations going out after salmon should be considered if Japan is allowed to continue," Stevens warned.
POLICIES SIMILAR
He stressed that there is no basic difference of policy between Canadian, American, or Soviet fishermen on the need for total prohibition of high seas salmon fishing.
He said that pressure for such a policy was growing in the United States.
Stevens quoted from the August issue of the Pacific Fisherman which stated that "Obviously, necessity for such a position (banning salmon fishing on the bigh seas) would almost inevitably mean inclusion of the Soviet Union in any new Pacific fisheries treaty, for the USSR evidently shares the philosophy common in the United States and Canada that it is not rational to harvest salmon before they have reached their full maturity," the journal stated. "Even more important, it is not possible to manage adequately a salmon resource according to scientific principles until the mature salmon enter coastal waters and it is possible to distinguish the several races, so the strong may be fished and the weak rebuilt with adequate escapement."
The Union pointed out the tremendous amount of pressure that would be exerted on Japan if all three nations united and if necessary raised the issue at higher levels, including possibly the United Nations.
The minister of fisheries agreed that there was a "great potential for cooperation to prevent all salmon fishing on the high seas. Our scientists have studied the problem very thoroughly and agree that high seas salmon fishing is harmful."
It was at this point that he said he did not think it would be "proper timing" to invite the USSR to participate in the treaty at the present time.
The Union delegation opened its presentation by expressing concern

over the lack of consultation by [ the minister with the advisory committee appointed last May prior to the Washington talks.
It appeared that the Japanese were developing specific measures to coordinate their policies at the •government level, spokesman Stevens stated.
Since the Canadian committee had not been called to a meeting since last May and then only briefly, what was its role?
The delegation put forward the proposition that the full six man advisory committee should be part of the negotiating team in Tokyo even at this late date.
Robichaud said he had "full confidence" in the Canadian negotiating team going to Japan.
"They will not be able to deviate from the directions given to them by the government," he added.
"No decisions will be made until the matter is reviewed in Canada."
The minister explained that the group going to Tokyo "can't commit the government but must first 1 come back to Ottawa. At that time, the standing committee on marine and fisheries will hear its report."
He agreed that it was disappointing the advisory committee could not be brought together but said that in view of the fact that the government position on negotiation policy was the same as in June, "it may not have been necessary for such a meeting."
Moreover, he said, the advisers were appointed mainly to advise the North Pacific Commission. The minister assured the delegation that the committee would be consulted in connection with the North Pacific Commission meetings being called in October and November. BOTTOM FISH ISSUE
The Union group mentioned the major bottom fish fishery being conducted by Japan and the USSR in the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, and more recently off the British Columbia coast.
"The pressure will continue," Union spokesman Stevens warned. "Partial agreements won't work. It's impossible to restrict one fleet while another continues without restriction.
"Such a treaty does not really conserve the fishery. It only creates friction and a feeling of discrimination.
"We need to broaden the present treaty so that it provides for bringing in other nations as they develop fisheries in these areas.
"Within that framework," Stevens declared, "we would have the opportunity to resolve the halibut problem by regulations pertaining to areas of operation, timing of operations, fishing methods, and release of halibut."
He said the Japanese "wouldn't likely respect our claims for special interests and rights going back 38 years unless we showed them we were also bringing in the Soviet fleet."
Robichaud conceded that the activities of both the Japanese and Russian fleets in areas where halibut can be fished could make halibut a thing of the past "unless adequate conservation measures are applied."
He promised that the government "will take every means possible to protect these stocks." HERRING STOCKS
Turning to herring, the Union delegation referred to the inshore-offshore migration pattern and the intermingling of herring with salmon.
The government should fight for a policy that will conserve the herring and save the salmon.
Robichaud said there would be "no further concessions on herring.
"We know there is the possibility of an effect on herring stocks as well as on salmon but we do not think there will be much trouble as far as herring is concerned in these Tokyo talks"
The minister denied there had been any concessions offered Japan in Washington. "All that happened was that Japan rejected our proposals because we were standing by the abstention principle," he stated.
The Union urged "immediate preparation of a joint conference of
federal and provincial government representatives, representatives of administrative and technical fisheries personnel and fishing industry organisations" as suggested in a letter to Prime Minister Pearson and Premier W. A. C. Bennett on June 20.
Purpose of the gathering, the Union said, would be to discuss the crisis in the BC fishing industry.
Robichaud said that a joint federal-provincial conference has been called for next January in Ottawa at which people from the fishing industry will be able to make representations even though this will be primarily a government conference.
Time will be set aside for industry representations "and it will cover matters such as those raised this afternoon."
A full meeting of the Union's fisheries regulations committee after the meeting with the minister noted that Robichaud did not accept the recommendation that the advisory committee should act us advisers to the Tokyo delegation and that he did not agree to press for an all-inclusive treaty.
The committee took the position that "There can be no fundamental resolution of the problems of the North Pacific fisheries without an all inclusive fisheries treaty being negotiated."
It decided to call a special meeting with the Union's general executive board "to chart a course for the Union on return of the government delegation from Tokyo."
All members of the fishery regulations committee were unable to meet the minister, his deputy A. W. H. Needier, and Pacific area director of fisheries W. R. Hours-ton, since a limit on the size of the delegation had been placed by Robichaud.
Those attending were vice presidents T. (Buck) Suzuki and Wally Paulik, and secretary Homer Stevens: Ed Hanson, Westview; Bill Malcolm, Pender Harbor; Ed Newman, Albion; Eric Burnell, Lang-ley; Alex Eyton, Steveston.
Ed Sparrow represented the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia at the meeting.

FLEETS
In April 1963, reports were received that the Japanese government had licensed a king crab mothership operation to commence "experimental fishing with crab pots in May south of the Alaska Peninsula. The catch limit was set at 400 metric tons (882,000 pounds).
After considerable discussion between representatives of the United States and Japanese government in both Washington and Tokyo, Japan on July 10 deferred issuance of the licence pending further discussions at the September 1963 North Pacific Fisheries Commission meeting.
In effect, king crab operations in that area will not be conducted by the Japanese this year.
The Japanese have been taking whales in the Gulf of Alaska, off the far end of the Aleutian Islands, and more recently off southeastern Alaska.
