Japanese whalers have made a great advance in the Antarctic in recent years. In the event of their programme being realized, they will prove a great rival of British and Norwegian operators who have been virtually monopolizing the Antarctic Krounds in the past. Germany has also been pushing a large scheme. In order to protect their interests, therefore, both Bri- tain and Norway are anxious to conclude an agreement with other countries, restricting the number of whalers, the period of operations and the number of the catch.
Since the receipt of the above invitation, the Foreign Office has been conducting negotiations with Department of Agriculture and Forestry and the whaling companies concerned, and has now come to an agreement with them that Japan should refrain from participating in the agree- Western ment, at least until her capacity Distillers Corpn'Bea- and footing are brought to a post- grams ** kropa 213 tion comparable to Britain and Douglas Aircraft

In the 1938 7 season, Norway commissioned 14 whalers, Britala Elec. Bond & Share 19 12, Japan two and both Germany Elec. Bond & Share and Denmark one each. Thus Bri- $5 pt. tain and Norway at present occupy Elec. Bond & Share the dominant position.

As Japan is now building several whalers, however, it is believed that the number will be increased to four or five in the coming sea- son. By 1933 the total will be brought up to eight. Though the production of whale oll to-day Is only 30,000 tons, therefore; it will easily reach 100,000 tons.
