he told them, "I don't know what the Japanese position will be. We will find out when we get there (to Washington)."
Union spokesman Homer Stevens told him flatly that the Japanese would "go for the works." He quoted the article from a Japanese economic journal published May 17 in The Fisherman, originating • from the US embassy in Tokyo which made it clear that Japan had set "abolition or restriction of voluntary restrictions" as its "principal objective" in the Washington talks.
The minister had earlier said he read Ths Fisherman carefully but he had not seen the page one story. NEW STATEMENT
The newest statement from Japan, in the newspaper Yomiuri, follows in full:
"Negotiations for revising the Japan-United States-Canada fisheries treaty will be started on June 6, 1963. The negotiations will be focused on the question of how to settle the confrontation with Japan. Japan wishes to have the unequal treaty, forced upon her during the Occupation, finally revised to an equal treaty by some means or other. The United States and Canada, on the other hand, wish to continue the ban on Japan's fishing for salmon, salmon trout, halibut and herring in the area east of longitude 175 degrees west which comprises about half of the North Pacific area.
"Both sides at present are taking the stand of not recognising the other side's views, and the outcome of the negotiations cannot be predicted at this time. However, Japan, the United States and Canada are agreed on the point that a non-treaty state following the breakdown of negotiations should not be permitted. It is expected therefore that they will manage to reach some compromise or other even if the negotiations have hard sailing.
"The reasons why the Japan-United States - Canada Fisheries Treaty is unequal can be boiled down to the following two points: First, the United States and Canada, though they are fishing for salmon, salmon trout, halibut and herring in their own territorial waters, still deny to Japan the right to fish for these fish in the high seas of the North Pacific area east of 175 degrees west longitude. Second, Japan alone is placed under an obligation to punish violating boats.
"It,is a principle recognised under the International Law of the Sea that all countries have equal right of fishing in the high seas. In the Japan - United States - Canada Fisheries Treaty, however, 'freedom of the high seas' is made completely meaningless on the strength of the 'principle of voluntary abstention.' MUST ABSTAIN
-'"According to the 'principle of voluntary abstention,' a country having had no fishing record in the past even in the case of high seas must voluntarily abstain from fishing when the following three conditions exist: (1) scientific surveys clarily that the resources of a specific fish will be decreased if fishing operations are increased; (2) the country in question is taking effective measures for the preservation of resources; and (3) the fish in question is a subject for extensive scientific research for the maintenance of resources.
"This principle, however, is maintained only by America and Canada, and is only a minority opinion always rejected at international conferences on the Law of the Sea. Therefore, of the numerous international fisheries treaties, the Japan-United States-Canada Fisheries Treaty is the only treaty adopting the principle of voluntary abstention.
"In this sense, too, it can be said that the treaty is very unequal toward Japan. With regard to the punishment of violating boats, too, control for the protection of resources is significant only when fishermen of the controlling country receive benefits, and it is nothing but inequality for them to be punished in order to protect the fishing benefits monopolised by America and Canada. FIRST CONFERENCE
There may arise this question: 'Wasn't  it  strange   to conclude
such an unequal treaty to begin with?' Looking back at the circumstances at the time the treaty was concluded, however, there are many factors which made it inevitable, considering the relationship between the victorious country and the defeated country.
"The first conference for Japan-United States-Canada fisheries negotiations was held in Tokyo in November 1951. At that time, American and Canadian fishermen strongly insisted on shutting out Japanese fisheries, and there was an increasing tendency in the United States and Canada to 'oppose an early conclusion of the peace treaty with Japan unless Japanese fisheries were restricted by a fisheries treaty.' Japan had to choose between a peace treaty and her fisheries in the North Pacific, and ultimately sacrificed the latter to some extent for the sake of the peace treaty. Thus, with American and Canadian assertions accepted, the Japan-United States-Canada Fisheries Treaty (formally the International Treaty Concerning Fisheries on the High Seas of the North Pacific) was signed in May 1952, and took effect on June 12, 1953.
"Thereafter, the annual conference held once a year discussed the question of 'whether or not the three conditions for voluntary abstention still exist.' As a result, Japanese assertions have been recognised to some extent, and most of the herring fishing and halibut fishing in the east Bering Sea have been freed from the aforesaid conditions. However, America and Canada showed no signs of yielding to Japan on salmon and salmon trout which are of the highest value in fisheries.
"Even this year, when the period for revising the treaty after ten years in effect, which is provided for by the treaty itself, has come.
these countries have shown on every occasion the attitude of continuing the treaty based on the 'principle of voluntary abstention.' CANNOT YIELD
"Japan, on the other hand, cannot yield an inch because if she again accedes to the unfair 'voluntary abstention principle' at this time when 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 out Japan from salmon and salmon trout fisheries.
"However, if Japan should announce abrogation of the treaty
j with the confrontation between the two sides unremoved, and if they
j should have no treaty any longer
j as a consequence, America would very  likely  take  the retaliatory
I step of banning imports of frozen
i and canned tuna. In either case.
; Japan would no doubt be driven
; into a difficult position.
"Such being the circumstances,
I the Japanese side intends to send
'■■ to the negotiations a delegate who has considerable political ability.
"It seems that agriculture, forestry minister Shigemasa is considering agriculture, forestry vice minis-
j ter Ito, who is well known among American  and   Canadian officials
! in charge of fisheries affairs, as he was formerly the director general
I of the fisheries agency.
"Especially at this time when there is a world wide tendency for each country to restrict other countries fishing on the high seas adjacent to its territorial waters, as is clear from the conflict between Brazil and France over the fishing for lobsters, it may be said that the result of the forthcoming negotiations will be watched with keen interest throughout the world."

SHOREWORKERS
The Union wanted only shore-workers who have seniority to be allowed to vote but this was brushed aside by the department of labor representatives who also rejected several proposals made by the Union. The last proposal was that only employees who had worked all or part of each of five days as a minimum be allowed to vote.
Clements rejected the request with the vociferous backing of Company representatives Jack Broatch, John Star, Ken Campbell, and Jack O'Connor on the basis it would be undemocratic to deprive anyone of voting even though they had only worked in the fishing industry for two hours. In other words, someone with two hours' experience would have the same say in determining wages and working conditions as someone with 20 years' experience.
This department of labor and company position is utter nonsense since   in   all   Canadian elections
— municipal, provincial or federal
— a person in order to vote must either establish residence and/or become a citizen. This takes at least four years for all but British subjects who require six months.
In any case, it now appears the shoreworkers' vote will be taken on July 12. Only shoreworkers on company payroll during any part of the period July 1 to July 10 will be eligible to vote.
The shoreworkers' negotiating committee will now proceed with a plan to acquaint all shoreworkers with the issues to the end that an overwhelming vote for strike can be registered on July 12. Only by this means can shoreworkers expect to establish the majority recommendation of the conciliation board as a minimum improvement of conditions.
