BREACHES OF LIMIT
F.O.L. Seek Action (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Mar. 10. The president of the Federation of Labour (Mr T. E. Skinner) is still convinced that “positive action” to stop Japanese fishing encroachments inside the 12-mile limit could be taken without upsetting international relationships.
He said today the Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake) had told a meeting this week that because of the delicate situation the Government had to be very careful.
“The federation is not satisfied with this position,” he said. “We have to accept the Government’s statement that it is in a difficult position, but we think positive'action could be taken without upsetting international relationships.” Mr Skinner said the Government should enforce its legislation, even if it meant arresting a trawler found fishing within the limit. He did not think Japan would cut off its trade with New Zealand in the event of a dispute, as New Zealand’s exports to Japan were growing—“and Japan only buys on the best market at the best price.”
