Tokyo, To-day.

Having completed all necessary preparations to meet the critical situation which will arise if the Japanese Government's negotiations with the Soviet for the conclusion of a temporary fishery agreement fail, 150 fishing boats and 20,000 Ja- panese fishermen are waiting in Hakodate, Northern Japan, for the first sailing in April. No matter what may be the result of the negotia- tions, these fisherfolk are determined to en- gage in the coming fishing season and thus up- hold the rights they gained in the Russo-Ja- panese War..
