Show Mexico Bars Jap Fishermen From Mexico City comes word than an exclusive fishing concession con-cession has been granted Mexican fishermen off the west coast of Mexico. This is interesting because American naval officers have commented upon the activity of Japaneses fishing fleets, which, in their onin'on. were often in- terested in more than fishing. In fact, it has been reported, without official confirmation, that Japanese Japan-ese naval officers have taken part in the fishing operations off the coast of Lower California. The Japanese had a concession until last October. At that time Mexico prohibited foreign ships from working out of Mexican ports. Now they will be barred altogether. The Japanese have been suspected of making hydro-graphic hydro-graphic surveys of Mexican waters for use in the event of war with this country. |
