ment, which act in favor of foreign vessels and unduly restrict the Japanese, 
One Eiichi Yagihashi, representing Hokkaido sealing interests, suggeste revi- 
sions of the Japanese law to eliminate these irregularities and to make con- 
ditions easier for Japanese fishermen by (1) forcing foreign boats to recog- 
nize Japan's sovereignty in its territorial waters, (2) opening all Japanese 
waters to free fishing by Japanese, (3) insisting on the rights of free fish- 
ing on the high seas, and subsidizing Japan's pelagic fisheries, and (4) abol- 
ishing special licensing of Japanese sealers, substituting therefor a simple 
registration,
