Dear Sir:-
Wq are just in receipt of telegram from Tacooa to the
effect that they are unable to handle any more Hong Kong fish this
season, as some of the boats have been withdrawn..
It is possibUi that we may be able to move a srfcall quantity
of fish to Kobe, but matters are verj. indefinite and we thought
better to advise youtfaceor dingly, as we do not think it advisable
to get big quantities of fish packed up.

past we hove always done business with your company.
Of course, we are aware that your company have
held spaces for the Japanese fish merchants. In this connection, since Mr. 0. Higashide ( a Japanese fish merchant),
is one of our partners, it should seem reasonable to you to
do your best for us. We need all the spaces grou can supply.
Awaiting anxiously your reply, I remain,

Dear Sirs:-
Please refer to Vile X-
Referring to your letter of Marell 3rd arid Claim for overcharge
on Salt ^erring.
We are advised by the Freight Clerk on the Steamer who
measured the boxes, that the measurement was as follows:- 1'3" X 2'1» x 3'7"
or 9'4" each.
The writer has personally measured a number of shipments and has
found that the measurement v.ill always run over the measurement as given by
the packers, who usualy give us the dimentions of the shocks, as ordered
from the mills, but tlae measurements do not conform to the specification.
At any rate the boxes were carefully measured and our bill of lading
made in accordance with measurement obtained and I think you will agree
that we are entitled to freight charges on tine actual measurement.

but "express* Pie opinion that'PtfflrASpc SAieatal action was unfovt-uiafccy'^^imed,^
and calculated seriously to hamper the^iuBiissitmein. their,.eopsideratioii of "sevteaA
m'atters, rlotabl'y the halibut situation m its international aspsjcf, and' also the
question of reduction in license to oA°e, Oian whites and Indians. The, -Commission also deplores the fact that wheiiAthis Commission began its operations any
fishery matters in the waysof regulatiopiAr other matters apart from routine should
have been given to the press during tli^H Commission's operations. The Commission
has, however, thoroughly considered theffkalihui industry and it recommends that a
close season be placed upon halibut. \\fie said close season tp begin November 15
and end on February 15. The Commisswn further recommends that an international
arrangement be made towards the secuJtwa' of the said close season in extra territorial waters, and we have the assurance of the Washington Fisheries Board that
they will render aid towards assistingV'the said arrangement being arrived at on
the part of the United States Federal authorities.
Organization.—In all parts of Britph Columbia there is a demand as is felt
obtains in all places in Canada where jlie fishing industry is of paramount importance that ever since Confederation, thl fishing industry has not received the consideration its importance so adequately '^deserves. Witness after witness prominent
in the fishing industry, both from the strpidpoint of merchant and fisherman, strongly
accentuated the fact that there should be a Minister of Fisheries, with an organization under him thoroughly qualified andtso organized as to give the fishing industry
the consideration which it properly dei'^rves. The Commission will subsequently
submit a full and comprehensive report hut suffice it to say for the purpose of this
memorandum that all persons intimately connected and associated with the fishing
industry demand that the matter of al minister with practical knowledge of the
fisheries, and a thoroughly competent stiff be no longer temporized with or unduly
delayed. A new Department of Fisheries, separate and apart from the Department
of Marine and Fisheries, should be established without delay, and thorough reorganization of the fisheries both in Ottaw'i and British Columbia should in the public
interest be undertaken instanter.
Re Orders in Council.-—It is felt by the Commission that having regard to the
exigencies of the service that no Order in Council should be promulgated without
due notice of its effect upon the fishing industry and those engaged in it first
having been given as far as reasonably possible.
Naturalization Papers.—Whilst realizing that the matter of the method of
granting naturalization papers is beyond the scope of this Commission, yet your
Commission have found that there has been a flagrant abuse of the same in so far
as Orientals are concerned. The Cc.mmission therefore recommends that all
naturalization papers in the province of British Columbia in so far as they affect
Orientals, be called in and revised, and that in future whilst it is piot desirable to
naturalize Orientals, yet if this is done-the papers be not granted to them without
a photograph first being attached as well as finger prints, in accordance with the
usual conditions approved by law. ISO Oriental should receive a return of his
naturalization papens unless he complies with the provisions that should be made by
the department to protect wholesale fraud.
In conclusion your Commission suTmiits that the foregoing is but a meagre
outline of the matters which came before them,—the foregoing is respectfully submitted as an interim memorandum.

The Honourable Ernest Lapointe, K.C., M.P.,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries
in and for the Dominion of Canada,
Ottawa, Canada. p
Sir,—The Committee appointed pursuant to the provisions of the Public
Enquiries Act on recommendation of the House of Commons realizing that the
matter of the British Columbia fisheries, which was submitted to them for investigation, is of great importance, and having in mind the fact that all interested in the
industry are entitled to the earliest possible notice of impending changes affecting
the industry, beg to submit, pending the final submission of a full report, the following recommendations in which they have unanimously concurred, except as hereinafter mentioned.
It is of course to be understood that the Commission are absolutely unanimous
in the following and recommend their adoption without any avoidable delay, nevertheless the Commission will at a future date submit for the approval of Parliament
a comprehensive report of their finding, together with the reasons therefor. -
1. Gas Boats in District No. 2.—Your Commission have fully considered this
matter, and recommend for adoption that on the opening of the fishing season of
1924 in District No. 2 the use of motor boats be permitted.
2. Japanese Licenses.—The Commission find that the number of white men and
Indians holding licenses is not in any way commensurate with the number of
Orientals, and as a consequence the Commission recommends that there be a reduction on all licenses issued to fishermen other than white fishermen and Indians of
40 per cent in 1923, this to include all methods of fishing, and that licenses issued
in District No. 2 to others than whites and Indians be attached to the oanners pro
rata. Local residents and returned soldiers to be given preference in all districts.
3. License Fees.—The Commission are strongly of the opinion that the present
system of exacting license fees is of such a character as to eliminate progressive
citizens from engaging in the industry and also bears heavily upon an industry
which is already taxed to the limit.' The Commission feels that a person should not
be called upon to pay extravagant license fees without being assured of an adequate
return, and to that end it unanimously and energetically recommends the following:—
The fee for an abalone license shall be $ 1 00
For crab license shall be '. 1 00
Herring or pilchard drag-seine license 5 00
Herring or pilchard purse-seine license .. ...... 5 00
Salmon drift or gill-net license 1 00
Salmon drag-seine license 20 00
Salmon purse-seine license 20 00
Salmon trap-net license 50- 00^
Sturgeon gill-net or drift-net license "... 1 00
Annual fee for salmon cannery license, we recommend it shall be $20 for
said license and in addition 10 cents for each case of 48 1-pound cans, or the equivalent thereto, of sockeye salmon, and 5 cents for each case of any other species of
salmon.
4. Drag and Purse Seines.—Your Committee submit and recommend for your
approval that drag and purse-seines should not be permitted to be operated save 3,
1
I
where demonstrated to be the only pra^e pi-effective and reasonably economic method
of catching fish, and in cases where puV'se-seines and drag-seines are permitted,, the
boundary to be moved out to not less than _ mile from the' mouth of the creek or
stream, or further if in the discretion o£ the Chief Inspector it is deemed advisable.
The Commission most strenuously urges and recommends that in cases where drag
or purse seines are permitted, none other than white British subjects and Indians
(natives) be employed. This recommendation to be most imperatively enforced.
5. Cowichan District.—Inside of a line drawn in Cowichan bay, from Separation
point to Cherry creek, that no fishing be allowed by net, except as provided for
Indians. Neither in all waters south of the line drawn from Graves point to Erskine
point, and to a point drawn from Separation point to Musgrave point, including the
waters of Sansan narrows and Bourgone and Maple bay, shall any fishing be allowed
in these waters by net or live bait.
6. Licenses for cod fishing for commercial purposes to be issued without fee.
7. Close Season for Salmon.—That all the words in clause 8, on page 10, of
the Eegulations as found in the last five lines of said paragraph, commencing at
the word " provided " in the said fifteenth line, be struck out.
8. WeeMy Close Time.—The Commission recommends that the close season for
salmon fishing be in all parts of British Columbia from 6 a.m. Saturday to 6 p.rm
on the following Monday of each week, provided, however, that this shall not apply
to salmon trolling as provided in subsection D of section 27 of the Eegulations.
9. Fines for Illegal Fishing.—In this connection the Commission feels that
penalties as provided for in the laws at present extant are unduly oppressive and
harsh in many instances, and they therefore recommend that the law be amended
so as to make confiscation or forfeiture for a violation of the laws a permissive rather
than an imperative act. The Commission have found that there is a great deal of
fishing done during the close season and in closed areas, and also the use of more
apparatus than that permitted by law, and we recommend that drastic action be taken
to prevent such abuses of the law.
10. Herring.—Your Commission are strongly of • the opinion and recommend
that no purse or drag seine be permitted to be operated for the catching of herring in
Nanaimo harbour and Departure bay. Your Commission after investigation realize
the possibilities for the development of the mild-cured herring industry, and would
strongly recommend that the Government encourage said industry by making experiments with steamers equipped as drifters, and make any other experiments which
may be necessary.
11. Halibut.—We strongly recommend that a close season on halibut be enforced
dating from about the 15th of November to the 15th of February in each year, and
that experiments be made to ascertain the movements of said fish, the banks where
said fish are to be found and as to the advisability of closing certain banks for
certain periods.
12. Embargo.—Your committee recommends that no action be taken on the
proposed embargo. -
13. Life-Saving Patrol.—We recommend that in order to. help fishermen in distress, that one or more boats be placed in readiness on the coast so that they may
proceed to the assistance of fishermen iai distress. The said boat or boats can also
be used in studying the habits of all classes of fish and prospecting with regard to
habits of said fish. - r
' S3
/p
%
14. Practical Scientific 'Investigation/ •_£& strongly recommend that such a
Board be established and which shall eon. ,t of practical scientists, who shall be
'""located one on the Pacific and one on the/ Oantic coast.
15. Hatcheries.—Your commission has ;one into this matter very thoroughly
and heard a great deal of evidence both frt^n employees of the said hatcheries and
men engaged in the fishing industry, both 3 fishermen and purchasers of fish, and
we are of the opinion that most of the hater/Try operations could be suspended except
that two hatcheries be kept in operation teft experiment with the new proposed system and that a certain amount of the moneys now spent in hatchery operations be
used for the clearing of streams, obstructions in rivers and improving the spawning
grounds for natural propagation. We also.Recommend that the bottom of the river
near Hellsgate Canyon be cleared of obstructions as the evidence goes to show that
that work was not properly completed. J
16. Dog Fish.—Your Commission strongly recommends that every available
means be used for the extermination of this pest, and with that end in view it submits that dog fish should be permitted to he taken with all sorts of contrivances
without any restriction of any sort whatsoever. Further, the Commission recom-
, mends that a bounty should be placed upon the catching of these dog fish and encouragement should be offered by way of financial or other assistance to those engaging
in the extermination of this pest and the utilization if at all possible of the same.
17. Clams.—Your Commission recommends that there be a close season 'on
clams either for canning, the selling fresh or any other purpose, the said close
season to be fixed.as to the time deemed best for the protection of said fisheries.
18. General Observations.—Your Commission have had the privilege of a conference with the Fishery Board of the State of Washington and have discussed with
said board matters generally advantageous to our joint fisheries. The Fraser river
matter was thoroughly discussed in an extensive manner and in a spirit of International comity and good-will. The majority of your commissioners were able to
arrive at a tacit understanding with these commissioners, subject to the approval
of the proper authorities, and we have authorized the Chairman of the Commission
to set before the proper authorities the results of our deliberation, owing to the fact
that this is a short memorandum of our 'conclusions. However, to speak tersely
and comprehensively, the majority of your commissioners, consisting of Mr. Chairman Duff, M.P., Mr. H. C. Dickie, M.P., Mr. Alfred Stork, M.P., and Mr.
A. W. Neill, M.P., have agreed to recommend to the proper authorities that a close
season of five years for Sockeye salmon fishing on the Eraser river and its tributaries and all coast waters leading up to the same be instituted for a term of five
years, provided Americans do the same on Puget Sound, and that an International
Commission be appointed consisting of representatives of the state of Washington
and of the Dominion of Canada to govern the matter of regulations during the said
period and during the term thereafter, this to embrace the right to deal with all
kindred subjects. Commissioner W. G. McQuarrie and Commissioner L. H. Mar-
tell. M.P., dissented from the foregoing and reserved the right to submit alternative
proposals. _

representing the Alaska Fisheries Commission in re the Naas-arid Alaska salmon
fisheries and as a result of' said conference your Commission recommends that steps
be taken with a view to having this matter .dealt with between the parties interested.
