FISHING DISPUTE
JAPAN AND SOVIET FIRM ATTITUDE IN TOKIO (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright] Received Feb. 17, 5.5 p.m. TOKIO, Feb. 16. The Foreign Office has instructed the Ambassador in Moscow to press for immediate settlement of the fisheries dispute. Japan will take “unreserved appropriate measures” unless Russia reconsiders her attitude. The fishing convention between Russia and Japan giving Japan the right to fish in Soviet territorial waters in the Far East was renewed at tire end of 1937 for a further twelve months ending on December 31, 19.38. Japan wanted a new convention embodying conditions not contained in the agreement which expired last December. Japan’s staple food supplies largely depend on her right to fish in Soviet waters.
