Moore Tells Of Fisherman Conference
Held At Vancouver, B. C. Last Month
If we had the space we would
quote more expensively from Sec
lehairy Denton Moore of the Alaska
Fishing Industry, in his account
of the Four Nations Fishermnm
Conference held at Vancouver, B.C.
hurt monith. Moore sat in the con
ference. He is also editor of the
Alaska Fisherman.
Answering the question: Was it
worthwhile? Moore said the mem
bers of the U.S. Delegation thought
it very worthwhile. “We were
favorably impressed—and not a
tittle surprised—by the very ob
vious sincerity and candor of the
Russian delegation who were
definitely anxious to cement
friendly relations with fishermen
of the U~S. and Canada.
He gbes on -to say: The ‘behind
the scenes* part of the conference
—iBhe committee work, the dis
cussions and talks-—gfcv* us a much
IQbftieb I h«ight - into y the other
. fag&ws problems. Moot* said
t the dble^ates found a^itfrprLsingly
large area of conrunbftt purpose and
agreement.
The Halibut Resolution, for ex
ample, calls upon Japan and the
USSR to instruct their national
fishermen to release halibut alive
when taken incidently in other
fisheries—and it also calls upon
them to abstain from exploiting
the stocks of halibut now protected
under the Halibut Commission.
The -Japanese and Russians both
accepted this.
Again in the resolution dealing
with crab and salmon fishing in
the high seas, the principle and
theory of “Abstensron” was accept
ed by all the four delegations and
the resolution spelled out this
concept on the high-seas-pro
tedtion.
The Russians’- descrlpISion of
their canneries was interesting.
The largest in operation has four
operating lines. 1,700 to 2.000
people are employed in this one
cannery! The lines are old models,
with a productive capacity of 120
cans per minute.

The recent loss of this city’s nor
mal water supply provided the
nearby Naval Station with another
opportunity to be of assistance to
its friends and neighbors.
Eight hundred feet of four-inch

the dam holding the water gave
way. The pipe was being used in
connection with city equipment
to pump water from Lilly Lake in
to the water mains.
The Naval Station Fire Depart
ment also extended a helping hand
when (the lack of water tnreoienea
a local cannery with a loss of a
King crab harvest. 1200 feet of
fire hose was strung near City
Dock to a running stream to per
mist the crabs to be washed down
and processed before spoiling.
“This is only a small but con
tinuing example of cooperation
that has existed between town and
the base for many years,” said
Captain N. R. Lincoln, Command
ing Offices- of the N avail Station.
“I’m glad we could be of some
help.”
