 Necessity

Washington, Dec Sly a Canadian government order just issued. Ameri- can fishing vessels after December 3t. will bc unable to enter Canadian har- bors except in emergency. Though commerce department offi- cials through whom notices Of the step are being circulated have no di~ rect knowledge Of the reasons it is understood the Canadian government desires Co retaliate against United States tariff restrictions which are found objectionable to Canadians.
 During recent years American fish ing vessels have had practically un- limited rights Of entry to Canadian ports from the fishing grounds in the north Atlantic. Under the new reg uiatious they can enter "Unly for shelter. for repairing damages. pur- chasing wood and maintaining water. and for no other purpose whatso- eyer"
 The Isi of these emerge ncy Coudi- tions Co which right Of entry is re- strirtnd. grows out Of a strict appli- ration of n" fishing treaty Of i9tS between Great Britain and the United States.
