But it does not follow that the plan for the pro- tection of salmon and halibut should be applied to tuna or sardines. As to these fish, California will have its own ideas which should receive friendly con- sideration from Oregon and Washington regardless of how different. they may be.

Canada and the United States have proved that through their International Fisheries Commission. The halibut fishery, which extends from Northern California along the shores of | Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, was so overfished that it was hardly worthwhile for the fishermen to go out upon the banks. Fishermen, vessel owners and dealers all appealed to Ottawa and Washington for help. After an investigation the International Fisheries Commission consisting of two members from each country but acting as a unit, was by treaty given! power to adopt regulations which, when approved by each nation’s executive, have the effect of law as to the citizens and vessels of both countries, both within and outside of their national boundaries.
