COUNCIL — SEPT. 1912 — APPENDIXE — 108 — 



endeavour to obtain for Heincke the results, in brief, of the market measure- 

 ments from Aberdeen. 



Dr. JoHANSEN observed that the second part of the business, the height of 

 the size-limit, could now also be proceeded with. He himself considered Dr. Heincke's 

 conclusion with regard to the size limit to be selected for the plaice to be correct; 

 he might also possibly make definite proposals, but would like first to hear the 

 views of the other gentlemen present. 



Dr. Fulton was of opinion that in view of the course which the proceedings 

 had taken up to the present, a discussion in detail of further questions was scai-- 

 cely to be recommended, as it could only lead to results of a temporary nature 

 as long as it was not possible to deal with the complete Report of Dr. Heincke. 



Geheimrat Heincke entirely agreed to this. Had he been aware that another 

 English Report was in view, he would not have considered the submission of the 

 Resume as necessary for this meeting. 



Dr. Masterman was not yet in a position to judge of how far a size limit 

 would be desirable or practicable. The question would have to be further dealt 

 with. 



Prof. Henking also considered it unnecessary to proceed with the question of 

 the size limit at present. There was, however, the question of how the Committee 

 was to continue its work. 



Commander Drechsel called attention to the fact that several Governments 

 attached great importance to the answering, by the Central Council, of the ques- 

 tions raised. 



Geheimrat Rose observed that the Central Council might perhaps be in a 

 position to ask in what manner Geheimrat Heincke could continue to work on the 

 completion of the General Report. 



Dr. Fulton thought it very probable that he would become convinced of 

 the utility of protective measures, but the whole of the material must first be 

 at hand. 



Dr. Masterman recommended that his Report should, when completed, be 

 forwarded in proof to the Members of the Committee, who could then immediately 

 resume their deliberation. 



Prof. Henking considered it highly advisable to proceed in such a manner, 

 but recommended that it should be settled as early as possible whether the 

 Report was definitely to be undertaken, and when.
