JAPAN QUITS SALMON FISHING IN ALASKA SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.—The Alaska fishing industry is expressing quiet if slightly dubious sa'tisfaction over Japan’s announced decision to withdraw her experimental floating canneries from the salmon fishing grounds off the Alaska ‘coast. Actually the Japanese decision settles nothing; it merely postpiones the clash between the U. S.Canadian fishermen, who maintain their exciusive right to fish for salman, and the Japanese packing industry which is determined to seek new fishing grounds as their Kamchatka fisheries become depleted. Pacific Northwest rumiblings echo in Washington fhere fiery speeches and the Dimond Bill still assert U. S. {Canadian exclusive rights to North American spawned salmon. On the Pacific Coast, waterfront labor is prepared to back ‘tthe Northwest fishermen’s stand by declaring an embargo on Japanese vessels if.a satisfactory and permanent settlement is not arranged Incidentally, this threatened action in violation of all ‘existing agreements between unions and waterfront employers would precipitate a ‘complete tie-up of Pacific Coast shipping. Solution. of the problem _has the State Department on the horns of the proverbial ;dilemma. Recent policy utterances have stressed “orderly process” in settling international disputes, ‘but Northwest fishermen have threatened direct action to remove the Japanese ‘boats. Alaskan fishermen claim that their self-imposed and costtly conservation of.salmon entitles them to an exclusive right to fish the marginal seas. The State Department realizes that their demands can not be vindicated under international law. Compromise appears to be the only way out. If international friction is to be avoided and the salmon industry protected from destructive fishing, the United States must conclude treaties with all_nations wishing to fish Alaskan waters, e. g. Japan, Great Britain, Norway and possibly the U. S. S. R. Proper regulation of salmon fishing in the interest of all nations would probably require that each be granted the right to fish a . }share of the. annual _permissable . catch, What’s what, and why, in the Alaska salmon fishing industry’s altercation with Japan was discussed at length in Far Hastern Survey for March .2, 1938. In has also been coyered, from the special viewpoint of Alaska fishermen, in a-series of articles in Pacific Fisherman, CIVIC CLUB TO HEAR SPEAKER The Women’s Civic Club will gather next Monday night at the Methodist Episcopal church to hear.a talk by Mr. E.

JAPAN QUITS SALMON FISHING IN ALASKA SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.—The Alaska fishing industry is expressing quiet if slightly dubious sa'tisfaction over Japan’s announced decision to withdraw her experimental floating canneries from the salmon fishing grounds off the Alaska ‘coast. Actually the Japanese decision settles nothing; it merely postpiones the clash between the U. S.Canadian fishermen, who maintain their exciusive right to fish for salman, and the Japanese packing industry which is determined to seek new fishing grounds as their Kamchatka fisheries become depleted. Pacific Northwest rumiblings echo in Washington fhere fiery speeches and the Dimond Bill still assert U. S. {Canadian exclusive rights to North American spawned salmon. On the Pacific Coast, waterfront labor is prepared to back ‘tthe Northwest fishermen’s stand by declaring an embargo on Japanese vessels if.a satisfactory and permanent settlement is not arranged Incidentally, this threatened action in violation of all ‘existing agreements between unions and waterfront employers would precipitate a ‘complete tie-up of Pacific Coast shipping. Solution. of the problem _has the State Department on the horns of the proverbial ;dilemma. Recent policy utterances have stressed “orderly process” in settling international disputes, ‘but Northwest fishermen have threatened direct action to remove the Japanese ‘boats. Alaskan fishermen claim that their self-imposed and costtly conservation of.salmon entitles them to an exclusive right to fish the marginal seas. The State Department realizes that their demands can not be vindicated under international law. Compromise appears to be the only way out. If international friction is to be avoided and the salmon industry protected from destructive fishing, the United States must conclude treaties with all_nations wishing to fish Alaskan waters, e. g. Japan, Great Britain, Norway and possibly the U. S. S. R. Proper regulation of salmon fishing in the interest of all nations would probably require that each be granted the right to fish a . }share of the. annual _permissable . catch, What’s what, and why, in the Alaska salmon fishing industry’s altercation with Japan was discussed at length in Far Hastern Survey for March .2, 1938. In has also been coyered, from the special viewpoint of Alaska fishermen, in a-series of articles in Pacific Fisherman, CIVIC CLUB TO HEAR SPEAKER The Women’s Civic Club will gather next Monday night at the Methodist Episcopal church to hear.a talk by Mr. E. Olgert is very well versed in his subject and a very enjoyable evening is anticipated. TRINITY CHILDREN TO ers, service. lake ff Pioneer ‘Park where the baseball field is now.
