THE FISHERIES INDUSTRY
~ ;
The comprehensive and authorita-1
tive article prepared by Ward T. J
Bower, head of the Alaskan activities
of the bureau of fisheries, is of gen- j
eral interest in Alaska where fishing
has become the premier industry.
Mr. Bower has left little to say as |
to the need for legislation for the,
protection of the salmon. He shows
clearly that the waters of Alaska are
being overfished, and that'the supply
already has begun to decrease. He
very frankly states that “no further ex
pansion seems possible at this time
without serious encroachment on the
supply of salmon. In fact,” he con
tinues, “further retrenchment is now
considered necessary if the salmon j
fishery is to be continued as a profi
table commercial industry.”
The history of the development and
retrogression of the industry as given
by Mr. Bower shows that remedial and
protective action has been delayed too
long by the government. For fourteen
years there have been no changes in
regulations affecting the industry, al
though radical changes have been
made in methods and operation, and
conditions now are totally different
from those which obtained at the time
the present laws were enacted. Mr.
Bower admits that this is true, but
claims, and Alaskans will grant that j
he is correct, that the department has
been unable, after eight years of ef
fort, to secure new legislation on the
subject, although it has given both
houses of congress true and accurate
accounts of the conditions demanding
new laws. Moreover, states Mr. Bow
er, the limit of protection has been
reached under the law and departmen
tal jurisdiction cannot be further ex
tended.
The 1919 salmon pack was 42 per
cent in catch below that of 1918, and
indications are that the pack of the
present year will be even less yiam
that of last. There is no use in at
tempting to conceal the fact that this I
is a critical time for the industry. It
would be well to looks facts squarely
in the face, as Mr. Bower has looked \
them, -and seek to devise ways and :
means to meet the crisis. The chief
difficulty in framing a new Alaska
fishery code, he says, has been in se
curing the c.o-ordination of views
among divergent interests. But at the.
same time it is admitted that new
legislation has been requested which
congress seemingly will not pass. After
eight years of effort without result, it
seems reasonable to conclude that con
gress does not realize the importance
of the situation.
In spite of the facts that he has
given relative to the failure of con
gress to meet the situation in Alas
ka, Mr. Bower concludes that the time
has not arrived to turn the fisheries
over to the control of the territory, al
though he admits that in time Aalska
should have jurisdiction over it just
as the separate states of the union
have over the industry within their
areas. Mr. Bower says federal con
trol should be continued in order to
get capital interested in the fisheries.
The fact is, however, that the state
ment of Mr. Bower does not warrant
his conclusion that the time has not
arrived for territory control. Rather it
shows the necessity for it. He proves
that.it has been impossible, after eight
years of effort, to secure much unani
mity of action among those interested
in the fisheries industry as is neces
sary to .get action from congress, and
he further shows that the capital and
equipment we already have is suffi
cient to overfish the waters of the
territory.
However, there is no jurisdiction for
the contention that capital would be
afraid of local control and supervision
of the fisheries. No people are so
greatly interested in securing capital
for Alaska development as those who
have their money invested in the |
territory and who live and work in
the north. The fisheries consittute |
the major industry in Alaska and when
a territorial legislature would take up!
the solution of problems surrounding
it they would be approaching the big
gest material" thing we have to con
sider. Instead of thrusting it aside as
congress does until something of more
general interest is settled the territor
ial lawmakers would be considering
the proposition of greatest general in
terest. Capital is attracted by effi
cient legislation and supervision by
those who know what they are about.
None knows better than the man of
•affairs that the people of Alaska un
derstand the needs of the fisheries
industry of the territory better than
congressmen who live 5,000 miles or <
more away.

SHOULD NOT BROOD •
OVER OLD INJUSTICE
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 14 (by Asso-i
ciated Press).—When visiting Ton
dern. King Christian recently received
a committee of prominent Schleswig
ians who were held as hostages by
Prussians at the beginning of the war.
The spokesman said:
“The Germans lighted the fires of
hatred and vengeance in Schleswig
when we were taken as hostages. The
German Lord Lieutenant said on this
spot, at that time: ‘When the war is
over Daneism in Schleswig must be
Quashed! Thank God, the result is
otherwise.’ ”
King Christian replied: “I am indeed
glad to shake hands with you. We
must remember the old saying—‘do
not return evil for evil’. There is
something in our national character
which makes this natural to us. I
could think of something happier than
brooding over an old injustice. Let
us work together, set ourselves new
goals.”
There is a difference of only two
degress in mean annual temperatures
between Puget Sound and Sitka, Alas
ka. The mean temperature for Jan
uary is 38 degrees and for August
56 degress, an annual range of only 23
degress at Sitka.

to introduce porcelain coins ranging
from 10 pfennings to five marks.
