to the United States without the pay
ment of two cents a pound duty, after
having been stored, frozen, salted or:
otherwise preserved, but it must be
treated as foreign fish when it comes I
back into this country, said Collector,
J. C. McBride, based upon advices re
eeived from the department of treas-l
ury.
After reciting the conditions that;
tain in Prince Rupert, the Assistant;
Secretary of the Treasury says:
‘ Fish which are sold in foreign
ports to American or foreign inter- j
ests are not entitled to free entry un-i
less they are shipped immediately to.
The United Stats, without having been
stored, frozen, salted, dried or other
wise preserved for the reason that by
■such sale and preservative treatment
the fish would become so far mingled
with foreign commerce as to deprive
them of their status as the product of
American fisheries.”
On receipt of advices that fish
would be charged a tax of two cents
a pound, reduced the selling price
two cents a pound less than the
market price, causing the fishermen to
pay the duty.

WILSON'S SPEECH
ARRAIGNMENT OE
FOREIGN POLICIES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—From the
seclusion of his home Saturday night
former President Wilson broadcasted
the report that he has not altered his
convictions that American isolation
from Europe is shameful, and that it
is America’s duty to lead the world to
peace.
“France and Italy,” said the former
president, “have made waste paper of
the treaty of Versailles.”
“Cowardly and dishonorable” were
the words which Wilson used in
speaking of his contempt of the for
eign policy America has pursued in
the late war.
“The United States,” he said, “has
turned its back upon the world in a
shameful manner, withdrawing into a
sullen and shameful isolation, which
is deeply ignoble because manifestly
dishonorable.”
President Coolidge and W. G. Mc
Adoo were both interested listeners
in, (he former from the White House.

made the armistice possible. I am not
of those who have the least anxiety
about the triumph of the principles I
have stood for. I have seen fools re
sist Providence before, and I have
seen their destruction, as destruction
will come upon these again. Utter
destruction and contempt will prevail
as surely as that God reigns.’’
Twice Mr. Wilson gave way to his
emotion.

FRENCH ATTITUDE TOWARD
AMERICA IS UNCHANGED
PARIS, Nov. 16.—“If we pay, we
must be paid,” is the only comment
in French official circles, caused by
publication of the American debt fund
ing commission’s report giving the
amounts owed the United States by
various countries and expressing the
hope of “adjudgment with the hope
of payment at the earliest possible
date.’’

toward its American debt remains un
changed. Its holds that the question
is tied up with the reparations prob
lem and that France cannot pay her
war debts either to Great Britain or
to the United States except out of oer
receipts from Germany.

OF ALASKA OIL CLAIMS
Attention is called to the following
decision of the Secretary of the In
terior with regard to the relocation of
oil lands upo nwhich the time limit
ations for prospecting work have ex
pired :
“Kfior to the, cancellation by
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office of an outstanding oil
and gas prospecting permit and
notation thereof upon the records
of the local land office, no other
person will be permitted to gain
any right to a permit for the same
class of deposits by the filing of
an application, or by the posting
of a notice of intention to apply
for such a permit.”
This means that the provisions ot
law whereby mineral claims have
been relocated immediately upon the
expiration of the time required for
the performance of annual assessment
work does not appply to oil land loca
tions, and therefore, it would be use
less for one to locate and apply for
a prospecting permit before the ori
ginal permit has been officially can
celled.
