proposed that an instatement be inserted in the Con

jurisdiction over the North Pacific salmon fisheries, 12
miles seaward, saying it would be a step toward avert
ing a ‘‘threat and in part settle the actual foreign in
vasion” of American and Canadian fishing grounds off
the coast of Alaska. Dimond further said, he can see
no reason, that if jurisdiction of the United States can
officially be recognized in extending jurisdiction twelve
miles seaward in the case of smuggling, why couldn’t it
be adopted to protect our fisheries. The delegate charg
ed that the Japanese are threatening the fishing indus
