plying with a licence, and that licensed masters must make monthly and annual returns of the shell taken. For breaches of the regulations both masters and owners of vessels were made liable to • fine of £A100, whilst for unlicensed fishing the penalty would be a fine of £A.500 and forfeiture of the ship's equipment and shell. The regulations also set limits to the size of shell which might be taken from the area of the continental shelf.
The Japanese Government alleged in a Note to Australia on September 10 that the negotiations had broken down through Australia's refusal to recognize the participation of Japanese pearl fishing on an equal footing in the southwest .Arafura Sea, but nevertheless expressed Japan's readiness to resume negotiations at any time concerning pearl-shell fishing on a fair and reasonable basis.
The Note declared that the Japanese Government, despite the absence of an international agreement, would voluntarily undertake that conservation measures (e.g. the minimum size of shell, maximum total catch, and number of vessels) would be strictly observed by Japanese luggers: that these vessels would not take pearl-shell within 10 miles of the Australian coast; and that all possible measures would be taken to prevent complications between Australian and Japanese fishermen.
The Note maintained that it was an established principle of international law that fisheries on the high seas were a common property of. and should be open to development and use by, all nations;

as a precedent for this it cited the international convention for the regulation of whaling.
Nevertheless, as Japan had sought an amicable conclusion to the negotiations, she had offered as a maximum concession a three-year proposal permitting the Japanese to operate east and west of Darwin (excluding the main fishing grounds around Thursday Island and off Broome), whilst raising no objection to Australians operating with the Japanese in these areas.
The Australian Government, however, had rejected this proposal and had in effect insisted on treating the southern part of the Arafura Sea as if it were Australian territorial waters. The Note declared that this attitude disregarded the' work done by the Japanese before the war in developing pearl-shell fishing in the Arafura Sea, and pointed out that, to meet Australian objections, Japan had incurred "tremendous economic loss" in the present year, having taken a catch of only 311 tons as compared with more than 3,000 tons in any pre-war season.
* Following the proclamations extending the limits of Australia's territorial waters, and the passing . ? the Australian legislation amending the Pearl Fisheries Act, the Japanese Foreign Ministry announced on October 10 that it would refer'the dispute to the International Court at The Hague.
Mr. McEwen stated on November 2 that Australia had agreed to this course on condition that Japan undertook to observe the provisions of the new legislation pending the Court's hearing of the case; he explained in this connection that Japan could not take the matter to the Court without Australia's approval because she was not a signatory to the Statute of the International Court.

Japanese Extend Operation
The Japanese fishing industry I soon will be engaged in enterprises in Costa Rica, Argentina and Bur ! ma, according to a recent report from Tokyo. m
The report says that "one Japan-j ese firm has reportedly completed; arrangements to engage in shrimp fishing along the Pacific Coast of Central America. Operations will be based at Puntarenas, Costa1 Rica, and are expected to begin j in early October. The Tajyo Fish-bag Company, one of the largest firms in Japan, has entered into an agreement with the Pacific Refrig- j eration Company of Costa Rica, which pEovides for fishing rights aver a two-year period and the use . of facilities at Puntarenas. Two Japanese trawlers, the Takai Maru, No. 13 and 15 averaging 98 gross tons each) sailed from Japan about the middle of August, arriving at Costa Rica about the end of Sep-
tember. Shrimp fishing will be during the seasonal period, October-March; trawlers for bottom fish will be carried on after the shrimp season. The Taiyo Company anticipates an annual catch of at least 250 tons of shrimp. The catch will be exported to the United States.
Before the war, Japanese-owned trawlers operated from bases in Mexico in the Gulf of California and in the Gulf of Mexico. The catch was principally prawns, some of which were frozen and shipped to Japan; some were sold in the U.S.' markets. These operations which began in 1935 and extended until 1941 were in part exploratory. Six trawlers were engaged from 1939 to '1941. The records show that a little exploratory fishing was done off Costa Rica in the prewar years — but not from land bases in the country.

Bowling Notes
Bottom Teams Upset
By BILLY DONALDSpN
There Mere some surprise results in the gante* played last week wherein the bottom-placed Hy-Waves managed to take three points from the leading top team Cloverieafs and die Canfisco All Stars also dropped three points to the Pinheads.
Ted Foort was really feeling good and hollered to me after the games, "Hey, Billy, we got three points from the All Stars! " Surely a remarkable feat.
Then came along Miss Barbara Busch of the Hy-Waves. "Billy, we got three points," something unusual for the Hy-Waves despite the handicaps they endured at the beginning of the season. Yes, Barbara was all aglow from her toes to the top of her hair.
Had a talk with Christie McMillan of the Canfisco Gold Seals who feels that there is no point in her buying a turkey if there is a possible chance of winning one of our Christmas turkeys.
Well, Chrissie, you are a good sport and I wish you luck but don't forget you will be against such formidable stars as Esther Bellas, Helen Smith, Alice Hamilton, Martha Anderson and the diminutive Mrs. Enid Eriksen who has had some remarkably good games of latew
The men, or gentlemen as they are called at various resorts, will have stiff opposition from some of the younger players who have had quite a little experience since becoming attached to our bowling league.
I must give my congratulations to the Cloverieafs who are definitely in the playoffs with the Canfisco All Stars.
I have never won a spelling bee in my life but our Gwynn Gunn, one of our union office stenogs resents the fact that I have continually mis-spelt her name.
What a gal, she has got "N" all over the place so I humbly apologise and I am sure you would have made a very good sergeant-at-arms. This should be corect this time, GWYNN.
SPECIAL NOTE: No games after December 16 till January 6 of next year.
