While French diplomats are
critically engaged With nation
alistic developments in North
Africa, another danlgerous sit
uation for them is developing
even closer to home.
When they made their deal
for Europeanisation of the Saar j
with chancellor Adenauer of
Germany, they assumed that
the Saarlanders would approve
t/he proposed statute.
They retained important
French economic ties under an
arrangement which called for
a more or less autonomous
Saar whose international rela
tions would , be supervised by
the Western European Union
which France and Germany
both joined at the time.
Since then the political sit
uation in the Saar has develop- j
ed only vaguely, although it
is leas than 'a month until the
plebiscite will be held, on Oct.
23.
Strong opposition to the sta
tute, leading to sometimes wild
demonstrations, has been dis
played iby pro-German parties
which some observers believe
embrace most of the little
area’s voters. The Saar is pri
marily German-speaking and
German-cultured, and voted for
incorporation in Germany af
ter several years under League
of Nations control following
World War I.
It now embraces three im
portant groups of thought, two
of which are major in this con
quest. The third, comprising
people who favor actual incor
poration into France, is not so
active, being composed primar
ily of those directly connected

Of the others, one wants Eu
ropeanization under .the propo
sed statute. The other wants
incorporation into Germany.
The pro-German group has
been somewhat weakened, as
compared with what its normal
strength would he, by chancel
lor Adenauer’s strong support
of Europeanization. Of 'the sev
eral normally pro-German
groups, some have shifted to
this line, and many who con
sider themselves German have
acted individually. Yet there is
still enough outhrigh pro-Ger
man sentiment to make the out
come of the plebiscite doubtful

feated, the whole basis of the

the face presented by the Allies

kans,” Anderson told the com
mittee. “'If the federal (govern
ment had done a good job I
wouldn’t Ibe sitting hme today.
In arguing for a change cf
fishery policies, Anderson com
men ted that fisheries of both
vtJjgjahinigrfton ,a-rJd and Brit
job Columbia are controlled by
their respective state and pro
vincial governments. He pre
sented charts showing fisher
ies in Washington and British

“This desmite the feet that

said.
Asked Ibv Ren. Pfo~+ (D-Ida
ho) iwhat Ihe ‘believed iV>e main
cause for the drastic drop in j
salmon runs, Anderson said ov |
erfi-hirp of certain reaches
during the peak runs was the
major factor. Fishing during
the neak of the runs has prac
' idally stripped many areas
which once were abundant i
woniucers, ne sana.
“Then you believe the imaior
effort should be inermitted dur
mg the early h^d late mart of
the rim?” Mrs. Pfosit asked.
“That’s right,” Anderson re
plied. “And fishing should be
more clo-elv siujoervised.”
Anderson crgimd tbht Alas
ka could finance the job of reg
ulating Alaska’s fisheries. To
do a rood iob he estimated, it
Would take 1V2 million dollars
annually. He said if Alaska
could get o~" half of 'the net
income from V sale elf seal
furs from the Prifctilof Islands,
which would mean $1.200 00-0
based on the average of the
last four years, the territory
could do the job.
“This would leave the cost
to the trritory about $’00,000.
which is less than we are get
ting now to operate the derart
ment of fisheries.” he sail
“The sport fish and game roro

on, he paid tribute to Mrs.
VKairy A. Whittemore, also a
Boston resident, who in true
pioneer spirit had come first
;o the west and later to Alas
ka.
Speaking of visiting the
poilip mill site here after in
specting the mill at Ketchikan
he went on “It seems to me
that every advantage they (have
there, you also will have. We
would like, in congress, to
help you on your plan to get
Industrial development.’’
(Mr. 'Reed explained the eco
nomy of Sitka had 'been ad
versely effected by the decline
of the fishing industry, while
the ANS and PITS payroll at
Mt. Edigoumbe had bee» the.
only bril.iht spot on the local
picture. “Now we are faced
with expanding that economy
into a year-round payroll for,
a proposed pulp mill. feel
our timber resources should he
deveoped to that end,” he sard
Mr. G.reeley spoke .briefly on
his pleasure in accompanying
the congressmen on their tour
Leslie Yaw, chairman of the
Chamber’s industrial develop
ment committee, solicited the
support of the visitors by pre
senting them with an open let
ter signed (by ninety-seven
loca1 residents and business
firms They had already been
furnished with copies of the
Daily 'Sitlda Ssutinel, contain
ing this open letter, to be giv
en to each memiber of the full
committee. Rep. McDonald, in
accepting the open letter, said
they 'would do all they could
in their committee to support
this development. Rep. Hay
worth read the letter to the
audience, commenting “I am
sure we will do all we can tc
further the desires expressed
in this letter.”
At a question and sr-r^r
period which followed it de
veloped ihev h°d net
a 'great deal of opposition to
the proposed Japanese devel
opment there; hut had heard
occasional ‘‘wonderment as to
why it was fbednj* suggested
that Japasese capital should
be brought in.” The cpiposdion
the congressmen had heard had
been based, also, on the prem
ise jthe Japanese would bring
in their own labor.
Also, they were asked why
the GAB apparently had a pol
icy of trying to have a fewer
number of larger airldnes over
a larger number of small air
lines, referring to Totem An’
which lost its certificate to ser
vice Sitka several years ago.
Hep. McDonald replied in
his opinion the history of the
blinking of the GAB was (bad.
He felt the government, thru
the >CAB, had been very, very
thoughtful about the bijg air
lines and very unthoughtful
about the smaller airlines, par
ticularly as regards payments
of subsidies. “I think the small
er airlines have gotten a very
;bad deal indeed,” he said com
menting That he and a col
league planned to ask an in
vestigation of the CAB in the
next session of congress.
The present administration
had done nothing to correct
this situation since taking con
trol of the government, altho
lit was admitted the policy of
the CAB had been unchanged
in this regard during the pre
ceding administration, too.
Regarding The fish trap abo
lition proposal, both congress
men said they had heard noth
ing of it either in their com
mittee or dn congress.
Following dinner the visi
tors talked informally to a num
b»r of interested citizens.
