THE FISHING INDUSTRY
(Press Assn.) YVELLINGTON, Nov. 22
The Fisheries Amendment Bill was passed by the House of Representatives tonight. Speaking in the Committee stages, the Prime Minister (Mr Fraser) said the question of territorial waters was one which would have to be raised in connection with the fishing industry. If Australian trawlers, as they did before the war, could come over and fish dose .to if not inside the threemile limit they would make serious inroads on New Zealand’s fish supplies. As fishing craft became faster and cool storage improved there might be a real danger. Some arrangement would havd to be made, such as a possible extension of the territorial limit to 12 miles.
