ANTARCTIC WHALING
New Quota Approved (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, July 4. The 17-nation International Whaling Commission, of which New Zealand is a member, ended' its 1965 regular meeting in London on Friday after formally approving the 1965-66 Antarctic whaling quota of 4500 blue whale units agreed on last May. The five-day meeting failed, however, to agree on how the 4500 quota should be split up among three major whaling nations—Japan, Norway and Russia. The present quota consists of 52 per cent for Russia. Informed sources said representatives from five nations —Japan, Norway, Russia, Britain and the Netherlands—might meet again early in the autumn in Tokyo to resume talks on national quotas.
