iceland Finally Wins
Fish War With Britain

LONDON, Feb. % (AP).-
Britain bowed to tiny Iceland
last night in an agreement rec
ognizing the Icelandic 12-mile
fishing limit on one Of the
richest zones dragged by Brit
ish trawlerS.
The announcement of the
recognition by the Agriculture
Ministry heralded the end OF
the fish war the two nations
have been fighting since 1858
During the bitter dispute, Brit
ish warships were called to de-
fend trawlers intercepted with
in the 12-mile limit by Icelandic
gunboatS.
Iceland also made a compro-
mise.
For a transitional period OF
three years." the Agriculture
Ministry said, "the Icelandic
government will not object to
British vessels continuing to
fish in the greater part Of the
zone between 6 and IL miles
off Iceland"
Word of agreement came as
a pleasant surprise to British
trawler owners. For months
they have been urging the gov
ernment to provide naval pro-
lection in case the dispute
flared into open war on the
high seas off Iceland-the
North Atlantic island about
half way between Moscow and
Washington.
The ministry announcement
said the proposed settlement
still must be formally approved
by the British and IcelandiC
Parliament. On approval, 1t
will be registered with the
United Nations.
Iceland extended its fishing
limits to IL miles on September
/. 1858, and ordered foreign
fishermen to stay outside.
Britain stuck to the old
three-mile limit. arguing that
no country has jurisdiction ovel
waters extending beyond that
distance off its coasts.
