 The Association spokesman Mil Ter Freeman and P E. Harris, both of Seattle, consulted Government of ficials on the question of possible future complications should Japan decide to permit her nations to op- crate floating canneries in Bristol Bay and Boring Sea.
 Freeman said he was informed by the State Department that the gov ernments of Japan and Great Bri- tain have agreed not to permit their nationals to operate floating canner- ies in the Pacific offshore fisheries without first consulting the Unit cd States.
 Freeman said: If Japan decides to encroach upon the Pacific off, shore fisheries, it may be necessary to propose a treaty covering sal mon fishing operations, similar to the treaty under which the United States and Canada created a joint Commission to regulate the halibut fishing industry"
