DISTRESSED CONDITIONS IN1
ALASKA CAUSE OF STEADY
ANNUAL EXODUS
WASHINGTON, Jan., 9, (/P)—
A picture of distressed conditions
among the white and Indian in
dependent fishermen in Alaska,
was portrayed for the House
yesterday by the Alaska dele
gate to congress during his plea
for Alaskan control of the sal
mon fisheries.
- This is a virtual monopoly, he
said, granted to large canning
interests and this condition is!
responsible for the exodus of 20,
H)0 white people from Alaska
during the past 20 years.
It is a condition, he said, that:
has brought abject poverty to
the Indians due to the importa
tion of Chinese and Phillipine
labor to work in the canneries.
He assailed this particular con
dition as the main one in de
priving Indians and whites of
almost all opportunities for work.
The delegate also charged that
representatives of the fishing
and canning industries kept
congressional representatives and
o t h e r important delegations,
which have studied conditions,
from learning of the true con
ditions.
The delegate was given unani
mous consent to address the
chamber during the war depart
ment debate and swung at once
into a description of Alaska con
ditions.
When questioned by Represen
tatives Rankin of Mississippi and
Arentz of Nevada, the delegate
said the one remedy for the sit
uation was ‘Insistence by congress
that the fisheries be administered
on a fair basis in the distribu
tion of fish.”
He then assailed the Bureau
of Fisheries as “favoring the big
canning interests; that the bur
eau has given them the heritage
of the Indian” instead of pro
tecting said heritage. He also
said fewer fish are being taken
than before the conservation
program was enacted.
