Description:Excerpt from American-Canadian Fisheries Conference: Hearings at Washington, D. January 21-25, Boston, January 31, February 1; Gloucester, February 2; St. John, N. February 5-6, 1918 My Dear Congressman: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for the information of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, copies of the reported hearings of the American-Canadian Fisheries Conference held in Washington, Boston, Gloucester, and St. John. N. B. I am also inclosing an introductory statement briefly setting forth facts relative to the appointment of the commission by the United States and Canada, and the matters discussed at the preliminary meetings of the commission in the city of Washington, including various questions relative to the fisheries which the conference decided to consider. At the hearings in Washington, Boston, Gloucester, and St. John, several subjects came with special prominence before the conference. Chief among these were the limitations now imposed upon American fishing vessels in Canadian ports and the restrictions which American law placed upon Canadian vessels in our own ports. Of less general importance, but still having weight with the States of Vermont and New York, were certain existing conditions in Lake Champlain. The hearings developed the fact that a large increase in the production of fish for the food supply of this country was both necessary and practicable, and that wisdom would provide for removing, as far as might be possible, the difficulties that hampered the development of the largest possible production. Following the hearings mentioned above the Canadian authorities courteously took the initiative in removing, by the following Order in Council of February 18, 1918, the embarrassing conditions on Lake Champlain: Section 15 of the special fishery regulations for the Province of Quebec adopted by Order in Council of the 12th of September, 1907, shall be, and the same is hereby, amended by adding thereto the following subsection: "5. Fishing by means of nets of any kind is prohibited in Missisquoi Bay and in the Canadian waters of Lake Champlain." Shortly thereafter, with the Presidents approval, the Department of Commerce issued, on February 20. 1918, to the collectors of customs the following order: To promote the vigorous prosecution of the war and to make the utmost use jointly of all the resources of the nations now cooperating, you will permit, during the war. Canadian fishing vessels and those of other nations now acting with the United States to enter from and clear for the high seas and the fisheries, disposing of their catch and taking on supplies, stores, etc., under supervision, as in the case of merchant vessels entering and clearing for foreign ports. except as to tonnage tax and other charges specifically imposed on entry from and clearance for foreign ports. (This order also applies to the Great Lakes and other hikes and waters on the Canadian boundary of the United States. See Exhibit AA. p. 383. ) The effect of this order was to permit Canadian fishing vessels and those of other nations acting with the United States in the war to proceed direct with their cargoes of fish from the fishing grounds to our ports and also direct on the outward trip from the ports to the fishing banks. This action was in due course made known to the Canadian authorities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
