which were previously exploited
only by Americans and Japanese
with respect to king crab opera
tions, when the Russians have in
formed us publicly that they are
going to move their fishing vessels
to other waters off the Alaska
coast, we apparently propose to
make their job much easier by per
mitting them to ship the crab they
catch and process off the Alaska
coast directly to this country. I
think such a course of action would
be an error of the first magnitude.
I think the decision if made
ought to be reversed. It will not
only hurt an American industry,
which has had so much trouble,
financial and otherwise, in estab
lishing itself, but I suggest it will
also take away from us bargaining
power that otherwise we would
possess as the Russian fishing en
deavor spreads south and east.
I know no more about this de
cision than was recorded in the
New York Times this morning. I
can only express the hope that the
reliable sources quoted in that is
sue will turn out to be not so re
liable after all. But if they are re
liable, I hope that another look
will be taken at this situation and
