Japan will be formally signed and
executed in the state department this
eek, carrying out the proposition
before the Boring sea conference for
a suspension of pelagiac sealing
The period of this suspension is NOT
disclosed, but it will be for Il du.
ration as will permit the sea- herds
to revive. The attitude which Great
Britain will assume toward the prom
.sition and the treaty which is TO
take place is awaited with much in
terest. Thus far the British author
tiles have not been informed as to
what the conference proposes doing
At the same time the British expert
Prof. Thompson, has had several

amicable understanding will be
reached by all parties concerned. If
Canada should show a disposition to

British government.
