NO ACTION TAKEN AT PRESENT
—— ♦ BRITISH PROPOSAL TO LIMIT WHALE OIL PRODUCTION LQNDON, August 18. The whaling companies, after a consultation at Whitehall, decided not to act at present in limiting oil production. They emphasised that there was no dispute between the British whaling interests and the Norwegian Government, but the British companies proposed that the whaling period should be- restricted to three months from Decenjber 8 in the whole of the southern hemisphere. They were also prepared to limit the production of whale oil to 900,000 barrels- and to use only one land station, provided the Norwegian interests agreed to a similar plan limiting the output to 1,499,000 barrels. The British Government considers these proposals most reasonable. tA recent message from Oslo said that the owners’ organisation and the crews’ organisations of the whaling industry had rejected the British proposals about the maximum of whale oil to be secured next season, during which Norwegian crews will not be available for foreign whaling ships.]
