U.K. backs ban on whaling
NZPA-Reuter London Britain has announced that it supports a move for a world-wide moratorium on commercial whaling, and will press for a ban by European Common Market countries on imports of sperm-oil products. The British Deputy Agriculture Minister (Mr Alick Buchanan-Smith) made the announcement at the opening of the thirty-first annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission in London yesterday. The meeting, which will last until Friday, will set quotas for each whaling nation next year, laying down which may De hunted, and where. But this year it faces a showdown between the whaling nations and the growing band of conservationist countries who are seeking to protect the whale from extinction. About 100 ecologists and animal lovers, waving banners protesting against the slaughter of whales, demonstrated outside the meeting at the Cafe Royal.
