FISHERMEN SEEK REGULATION CHANGE
Edward D. Coffey, secretary of the Alaska Resident
Fishermen’s Union in Ketchikan returning to his home in
Anchorage, after a series of conferences with Frank T. Bell,
United States commissioner of fisheries, expressed his belief
that Mr. Bell was making a decided effort to better the eco
nomic status of resident fishermen.
The real purpose of his visit to Seattle was the effort of
the fishermen’s union to revise its regulation closing com
mercial fishing in Bristol Bay during 1935.
In perfect frankness, however, Mr. Coffey releated fail
ure so far in getting the desired changes. Yet, as he said,
Mr. Bell is working for fundamental changes, which when
materialized, will enhance the,opportunities for the Alaska
fishermen.
, The Bristol Bay fishermen are working out a plan:
which on the surface seems to be a logical and comparatively
simple method designed to effect a better opportunity for
residents as against foreign fishermen. The year 1935 is, ac
cording to scientific readings, an off-year in the Bristol Bay
area. The run of fish is generally small and escapement
would, therefore suffer irreparably should the regular fish
ing gear be allowed to operate. The closing of the area is
based upon this premise.
However, resident, fishermen of that area propose chan
ges in regulatory measures which would allow them the
exclusive right to fish. The 1,100 or more fishermen resid
ing in that area could supply a sufficient amount of fish for|
four or five canneries to operate. The reduced fishing opera-1
tions, they say, would not impair normal escapement.
It is quite obvious that Mr. Bell cannot satisfy every,
person in the industry. The best he can do is to develop:
a long-range plan with a worthy objective and then ad-|
here rigidly to that line of march.
We feel confident that Mr. Bell will work out some plan
whereby the resident fishermen of the Bristol Bay area
wil} be allowed to earn a living as fishermen during the com
ing year. It is the general feeling among the informed in
Alaska that Mr. Bell will exert every effort to protect and ad
vance the interests of resident fishermen without undue
.jfecdu’rse to radical desfrUttioWbf property rights or the
'stabilizing influences upon the fishing industry.
He is working out a true democratic platform which is
being followed with some slight variations in almost every;
branch of'the present administration in its relation to in
dustry. Co-operation and a blending of interest is the object
ive of the era and it seems that we in Alaska should not be
too mentally bankrupt to subscribe to the plan at least until
a better one is prescribed.—Ketchikan Chronicle.

Green is said by psychologists to be a good color for
ruffled nerves. “Long green” is especially soothing.

GENERAL SMUTS
SEES PACIFIC AS
DANGER ZONE
NAVAL PROBLEM ^OVERSHAD
OWS EUROPEAN SITUATION,
HE SAYS IN LONDON
LONDON, (AF) «i A demand by
General Jan Smuts of South Africa,
one of the empire’s most respected
men, for fairness toward nazi Ger
many, and a warning that the Pacif
ic naval problem far overshadows
European ones in importance, caus
ed a sudden shift in land and naval
disarmament talk here.
Demanding revision of the Ver
sailles treaty, Smuts said:
“There is only one way to remove
the inferiority complex that is ob
sessing and poisoning the mind and
the very soul of Germany; namely,
recognize her complete equality with
her fellows.
“Do so frankly, freely, without
reserve. A resolution and deter
mined effort may yet save the sit
uation, bring Germany back to the
disarmament conference and the
league of nations, and thus probably
lead to a substantial step forward
toward agreed disarmament.
“But the naval ratio treaty now
seems the danger. If that goes, the
other issues settled at the Washing
ton conference may also be re-open
ed and the whole Pacific concert
collapse.”
Regarding the far East, he said:
“While our policy should be based
on friendship for all an exclusive
alliances with none, our policy
should conform to that general Am
erican orientation which has distin
guished it since our association with
the United States in the World war.”
Smuts made his speech at the Roy
al Institute of International Affairs.
In his assertion that the far east
was the new danger zone, Smuts ex
plained:
“The storm center will pass away
from the countries of "Christian ci
vilization and shift to the far east.
“There is an air of pessimism re
garding the outcomes of the present
naval conversations. The rife in the
lute, now beginning in the far east,
may have the most disturbing ef
fects on the European concert.” •
