New Regulation Defines
An American Fishery

experienced for years in collecting duty
on fish caught by foreign concerns. the
Treasury Department has issued new
regulations, defining an American fish,

loaded and carried to port the fish

flags, thereby avoiding the payment of

"a fishery operated under the American
flag by American vessels in foreign
waters, in which such vessels have the
right by treaty or otherwise to take fish
and other marine products"
