"America shall not allow the fish
eries in the North Pacific and all the
Alaskan coast and their untold wealth
to become absorbed by Canada," was
the declaration of E. C. Hughes, vice
president of the Alaskan bureau, at
the members’ council luncheon of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial Club recently.
In answering the question, “Shall
our fisheries by absorbed by other na
tions?" Mr. Hughes said that the peo
ple of the United States have learned
of the folly of depending upon other
nations’ merchant marine, and thatj
they must also learn not to depend I
upon other nations for their food sup
ply, especially sea food. Mr. Hughes
’further said the treaties to be made
following the war must protect the
fisheries of the Northwest; that
Alaska fisheries last year were of the
value of $50,000,000, and this year
would reach $60,000,000.
“When you consider that now only
l ten or twelve varieties of edible fish
are sought, and that there ar4 more
than 125 varieties in existence, you
can realize that the potential value
of our fishing possibilities is incon
ceivable," said Mr. Hughes.
“If the United States reserves and
develops our fishing industry,; what
has been done is but a beginning to
■what the fisheries mean. 'fHte
supply of fish food lies north of the
forty-fourth parallel latitude. Fish
are found in shoal water. The 3,000
miles of shoal water around Alaska
makes the largest fishing field in the
world.
1 he utilization of Alaska fishing
commenced with San Francisco as
headquarters. Later came Puget
sound, because the center of opera
tions was found to be nearer. The
district nearest the fishing shoal is an
economic advantage which assures
the fishing business there. Recently
Prince Rupert established subsidized
cold storage, railroads and other es
sentials to the fishing industry, and
from that point made arrangements
to bring fish across the line to the
United States.
“The inevitable result will be the
centering of the fishing resources at
Prince Rupert. Advantage has been
found for those fishing under the Ca
nadian flag. Many of our fishermen
as a result have transferred their fleet
register from the United States to
Canada. We consume in the United
States eighteen pounds of fish per
capita. The entire United States and
Alaskan production barely meets the
consumption.
Must Control Fish Industry
“The great war has shown the peo
ple of the world the necessity of be
coming eaters of fish. The necessity
for the use of fish will continue f
future years. We must of necessity
control our fishing industries, as Eng
land has controlled hers in the past.
“Now the attitude of Canada has
entirely changed. She wants to put
down the bars and let us fish in her
territory, but she wants us to do the
same. Our secretary of commerce has
made it plain that he thinks we should
do likewise. He says we are a com
mon people involved in the same
struggle, and all boundary bars should
be controlled by national economy;
that is, that business and work
should be conducted in the country
which can do it the cheapest.
“I reminded him that so long as we
are separate nations, when peace
comes our country must protect its
own people. While we are engaged in
a common cause, we must serve as
nations without boundaries, but we
must never again be dependent upon
any nations for our commerce on the
seas or bur fish foods.
"This industry is now centering at
Prince Rupert, as the Grand Trunk
Pacific railroad furnishes the short
est railroad route to the great East
ern markets. Unless we can center
this industry along the shore oi
Alaska, where it belongs economically,
the centering of the industry at
Prince Rupert will ultimately result
in it becoming Canadian, as our great
New England fishing industry became
centered in Newfoundland.
“No plea of economic law can pre
vail in the Alaska situation, as this
industry rightly and economically
should be centered along the Alaska
coast, where it extends for a distance
of over 3,000 miles, from Ketchikan
to Kotzebue. Never again will this
nation be dependent on foreign ves
sels to carry its commerce, nor can
it permit of any of its great food re.
sources being diverted from its con
trol.”
In conclusion Mr. Hughes said: "1
have discussed this problem in the
way it should be covered. I have
said just enough to make everyone
realize the importance of doing all we
can to have our great fishing re
sources developed under the Ameri
can flag, but an American fleet,
manned by American fishermen.”
