TRADE AGREEMENTS TO PROTECT
ALASKA AND THE NATION
Taking a tip, perhaps, from some of our own mili
tarists who have for years referred to the “menace”
across the Pacific, Japan now announces to the world
that it is expanding its military operations to guard
against the “menace” of the United States as this coun
try talks of increased air forces and naval strength in
Alaska and the Pacific.
It is a smart Japanese trait to take a cue from the
other fellow. Since that country was first “discovered”
by our own Navy many years ago and opened up to
world trade, the Japanese have been taking advantage
of our western ways and putting them into practice at
home with excellent results, for they are a particularly
Upt and quick-to-learn people.
But there is back of the military lingo hurled back
and forward across the Pacific a much more important
problem and one which must be handled with dispatch
and a marked degree of tact or the military noises may
become more sinister than they really are at this time.
That is the matter of trade, the old bugaboo which has
caused more war than any other single subject in his
tory. Japan is competing in no small way in the Paci
fic and, particularly, do we in Alaska feel the results.
The fishing situation is apropos. It is now an estab
lished fact that Japanese fishermen are operating in Al
aska waters; taking the sea food from our very banks,
sending it 'home for preparation and then competing in
our markets with the finished product. Two memor
ials in the recent Territorial Legislature call the atten
tion of Congress to the generally accepted fact and urge:
action to protect ourselves. Both introduced by Ed.
Coffey of the Third division, one urges an increase in
duties on seafood imports from Japan as well as other
countries and the other points specifically to the Japan
ese fishing in the Bristol Bay area. - I
In discussions of these measures in the Legislature,
it has been revealed that the Japanese fishermen not
only operate floating salmon canneries in Alaskan wat
ers, subject to none of the regulations under which our
own fishermen must operate, but they catch our crab,
take it home and can it and then place it in our markets
cheaper than we are able to produce it; due, of course,
to cheap labor and the lower standard of living prevail
ing in that country.
There is more actual menace in that condition than
there is in all the words the military leaders of both
countries can hurl at each other across the vast Pacific
in ten years. Therein lies a situation which may very
well lead to entanglements which might prove more
than embarrassing to both countries; a situation, to be
candid, which, if not remedied, can turn those militar
ists loose at each other’s throats.
In the past few years, this country has been partic
ularly successful in establishing trade agreements with
various foreign nations which are proving effective and
beneficial. It would appear that negotiations to that
end across the Pacific would be timely, and would do
much to quiet that persistently reoccurring word “men
ace.”—Juneau Daily Empire.
