The taking or killing of calves or suckling whales, immature whales, 

 and female whales which are accompanied by calves (or suckling

Article 6 



The fullest possible use shall be made of the carcases of whales 

 taken. In particular: 



1. There shall be extracted by boiling or otherwise the oil from 

 all blubber and from the head and the tongue and, in addition, 

 from the tail as far forward as the outer opening of the lower 

 intestine. 



The provisions of this sub-paragraph shall apply only to such 

 carcases or parts of carcases as are not intended to be used for hu- 

 man food. 



2. Every factory, whether on shore or afloat, used for treating 

 the carcases of whales shall be equipped with adequate apparatus 

 for the extraction of oil from the blubber, flesh and bones. 



3. In the case of whales brought on shore, adequate arrange- 

 ments shall be made for utilising the residues after the oil has 

 been extracted. 



Article 7 



Gunners and crews of whaling vessels shall be engaged on terms 

 such that their remuneration shall depend to a considerable extent 

 upon such factors as the size, species, value and yield of oil of whales 

 taken, and not merely upon the number of whales taken, in so far as 

 payment is made dependent on results. 



Article 8 



No vessel of any of the High Contracting Parties shall engage in 

 taking or treating whales unless a license authorising such vessel to 

 engage therein shall have been granted in respect of such vessel by 

 the High Contracting Party, whose flag she flies, or unless her owner 

 or charterer has notified the Government of the said High Contract- 

 ing Party of his intention to employ her in whaling and has received 

 a certificate of notification from the said Government. 



Nothing in this article shall prejudice the right of any High Con- 

 tracting Party to require that, in addition, a license sliall be required 

 from his own authorities by every vessel desirous of using his territory 

 or territorial waters for the purposes of taking, landing or treating 

 whales, and such license may be refused or may be made subject to 

 such conditions as majr be deemed by such High Contracting Party 

 to be necessary or desirable, whatever the nationality of the vessel 

 may be.
