Mr. Speaker. about 2 weeks ago I introduced two bills which had particular reference to Japanese fishing boats on the Pacific coast. In order to cover the matter thoroughly. I find it is necessary to introduce another bill with reference to undocumented vessels. On the Pacific coast these alien Japanese operate with a particular vessel and then. after they are at sea. change the number. and sometimes come in with an entirely different crew than was aboard when they started. The statute now provides a fine of only $10. which is easily raised. My bill will raise the amount of that fine to $1.000 and increase the height of the numbers to 6 inches and provide that the numbers must be permanently affixed to the vessel.
