DR.. Jordan lectured on international
Law and Fisheries Question" in which
ne outlined the situation existing be-
tween Canada and the United States.
Dr. Jordan investigated this trouble
this summer while in the employ of
the government. In this connection
he said:
'rhe American and British laws differ
in regard to ways Of protecting and
saving the-variOus fishes. The Canadi-
ans are restricted from fishing in the
great lakes unless they receive GER
tain permits, while the Americans are
allowed TO continue on their side. This
causes friction. It has been the policy
OF President Roosevelt to be on friendly
terms with the British fisheries, and
with this aim in view a committee was
appointed TO draw up a treaty. This
was done last summer"
DR.. Jordan exhibited samples of the
fishes found in the waters investigated.
