N.Z. stand on whaling applauded
Conservative lines to be taken by the New Zealand three-man delegation to the International Whaling Commission have been applauded by Project Jonah. The Christchurch co-or-dinator of Project Jonah (Mr G. Martin) hopes New Zealand’s view will encourage the commissioners of other countries to support the United Nations recommendation that whale populations are too small to allow whaling to continue.
The delegation had been instructed to take a “con-4 sistently conservation ap-. proach” and to support all moves made at the conference later this month to halt the killing of whales, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Mr Taiboys). Mr Martin said a glimmer of hope in . condemning the Japanese involvement in pirate whaling activities was also > forthcoming from the Minister’s speech. -
