WHALING INDUSTRY
NORWEGIAN LEGISLATION.
LIMITATION OF PRODUCTION.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Oslo, June 14.
The Cabinet sanctioned a law, after consultation with British interests, authorizing the limitation of production of the entire whaling fleet to a single factory, forbidding Norwegians to participate in whaling under conditions less rigorous than the new law imposes. It is expected that next season’s catch will be limited to 2,000,000 casks compared with 2,500,000 last year. Three months instead of four months’ fishing, and preservation of whales is extended to territory south of 40deg. compared with 50deg. south latitude, involving many thousand square miles.
