Keep Japanese Out Of Kodiak Island,
King Crab Area, Bartlett Tells Rusk
Hopes that the federal govern
ment might take steps to prohibit
Japanese entry into the king crab
fishery off Kodiak Island rose this
week due to demands of Sen. Bob
Bartlett.
Sen. E. L. ‘,Bob” Bartlett (D
Alaska) demanded of Secretary of
State Dean Rusk last Saturday that
the United States take immediate
steps to keep Japanese king crab
fishermen out of the entire Gulf of
Alaska, particularly the Kodiak
Island area.
In a strongly worded protest to
Kusk, portions of which Bartlett
wired the Kodiak Mirror, Bart
lett said:
“Reports have been circulating
in Alaska and here in Washington
that Japan intends to send several
fishing vessels to the Kodiak Island
area in the Gulf of Alaska for the
purpose of experimental fishing for
King Crab.
“I have made my position
known to the Department of
State on more than one occasion
that king crab along with dunge
ness crab must be protected as
a resource on the continental
shelf for exclusive use by Amer
ican fishermen.
“I insist that the United States
v iolently protest any encroachment
on this natural resource by the
Japanese in the Kodiak area.
“I insist that Japan be informed
and immediately notified that no
Japanese king crab fishing will
be permitted in the Kodiak area.
‘‘I insist that the United States
government immediately carry out
its obligation under international
law to protect this resource from
any further encroachment by the
Japanese in the Gulf of Alaska.
“An I insist that this be done
without condition and be done
without delay.
“I look forward to your confir
mation that this has been accom
plished and that the Japanese have
been clearly informed that such
action as has been proposed by
them in the Kodiak area will not be
tolerated.”
