An Unsatisfactory Investigation
More than a week has passed since the Governor of Alaska,
Bill Egan. U S State Department adviser William C. Herrington
and state and federal officials made an on the spot investigation
of the Russian trawlers operating off the shores of Kodiak Island
Saturday in Anchorage Herrington said he does not believe
Soviet fishermen deliberately destroyed American crab pots. “I’m
inclined to believe it was not intentional,” he said, referring to the
reported destruction of crab pots by Soviet trawlers. The Russians
are apparently fishing at night and the destruction of pots was
perhaps the result of “carelessness and lack of consideration.”
That is all fine and good as an apology for the Russian actions,
but not one you would expect from a man who represents the state
department of one of the world’s leading powers.
Nowhere did we read or hear that the state department was
going to put a stop to this in fishing waters historically belonging
to the state of Alaska, nor that the department would strongly
protest the losses.
The state department’s inclination to take a stand looks no
stronger than Floyd Patterson in his so-called heavyweight cham
pionship fight.
Meanwhile the Soviets continue to gobble up the Orient, Africa
with no resistance, and assume they have the right to do the same
in Alaska—B.M.
