BeIoian Fishino Industry.

Plans are being drawn for the con-
struction of large fishing harbOr in
Zeebrugge, which will not interfere
with the working of the port as COM
mercial center. This is but part of a
project for the establishment of ma
tional fishing industry. At present Bel
GUM is almost entirely dependent on
foreign imports, especially of preserved
fish. The building of the new harbor
will be undertaken by the government,
which will also provide for the rapid
handling and transportation of goods ;
private enterprise will establish the
necessary cold storage and erect works
for making cases and barrels and fac
tories for picking, drying and pre-
serving fish.
