Book Written On Fish Industry
Shows Value Business To U. S.
Mentions Threat Asiatic Fishing
_
One of the most readable and
! authoritative books dealing with
Alaska and her fisheries to come
off the presses in many years is
the recently published "North
Pacific” by Edward W. Allen, a
j member of the International Fish
eries Commission and frequent
traveller in Alaska. While the
book represents eighteen years
of note-taking and research, 14
business and pleasure trips to Al
aska and five years of writing by
1 the author, it is an up to the
minute picture of conditions in
the fisheries of the North Pacific,
it tells the story of a voyage from
Seattle along the Alaskan coast
as far as Bristol Bay, across the
Bering Sea to Kamchatka Bay,
down to Japan and across the
I Pacific back to the United States.
j In dealing with Alaska, Mr. Al
| len abandons the convent:onal
mining and dog team story, and
pictures the territory as the bill,
ion dollar fish storehouse of Al
aska. He deals in an authorita.
jtive manner with the fisheries
and stresses the necessity for a
scientific rather than a political
solution of the problems involv
ed in preserving these valued
resources.
Japanese Fishing Described
To Alaskans one of the most
interesting sections in the book j
are the chaptors dealing with |
Japanese fishing. The strained
relationships between Japanese;
and Russians arising out of the j
Japanese fishing rights in Russ,
ian waters are explained, and the
danger of conflict pointed out.
The Japanese use of floating nets
off the Siberian coast resulting in
shutting off the supply for Russ
ian canneries is described. Mr.
Allen shows that these deep sea
operations, carried on outside of
ALASKA
STEAMSHIP COMPANY
JOE HARNISH,
Agent
‘.he regulatory jurisdiction of the
nation owning the adjacent shore
make prc ervation of the supply
by regulation of fishing virtually
impossible.
He suggests that the ill will
now present in Asiatic waters &
the depletion of the fisheries as
a result of this uncontrolled fish,
ing can only be prevented from
spreading to the American side
of the Bering Sea by reaching
' some understanding with the oth
er nations interested in the fish.
I eries of the North Pacific. That
a reasonable agreement is possi
ble is shown by the success of
international regulation of the
seal grounds, and the restoration
of the halbut fisheries as a result
of the work of the International
Fisheries Commission.
Humor, Beauty Shown
“North Pacific" is not exclusive
ly a serious study of the fisheries
and international diplomacy, how
1 ever It is rich in humor, even
>
when the author is arrested by
the Japanese as a Bolsheviki spy.
“North Pacific” also contains out
standing bits of description of
the Territory which reveal the
author’s love for the North as
his more serious chaptors show;
his understanding of Alaska’s i
economic problem.
