Swami Yogananda, Native
Indian Prince in Seward
Swami Yogananda, of Calcutta, In
dia, accompanied by his secretary,
arrived on the Admiral Evans on his
way to Anchorage and interior points.
The Swami represents Maharajah
Prihce Kasimbazur, of Calcutta prov
ince, British India, and traveled from
New York to Seattle by automobile.
The Swami was accompanied by two
students of his cult, and made many
converts. He lectured in Denver and
Judge Ben Lindsay became one of
his students.
“I believe the modern school
| should be supplemented with proper
! training in the art of living,” said
the Swami. “I find that the public
schools give only'*' one side of true
education. They teach very little as
to meeting the complex problems of
life. That is why I am establishing
these schools. I teach perfection of
body and mind by the power of will.
I have found human nature the same
all over the world, the only differ
ence being in the expression in the
minds of the people of this country.
The people of America need more
psychological training. They need
J more tolerance. The young people
of the nation do not stop to con
sider the mental ability of the per
son they choose to go through life
with. In India they do. Here they
pay too much attention to physical
beauty. In India physical beauty is
not ovrelooked but it is the last
thing to be considered. There is also
too much gay life in America. The
people need more plain living and
higher thinking.”
The Swami said that the United
States needs association wth India
and India contact with the United
States.
"I like Alaska -very much, despite
the bad weather encountered. I do
I not consider I have seen America un
j til I have seen Alaska,” he concluded.

CLOSED SEASON ON
HERRING ASKED BY
FISHERIES BOARD
In addition to the recommenda
tions for new regulations on the
; salmon fishing industry submitted
by the Alaska Advisory Fisheries
Committee, it also made reccmmen
j dations for certain restrictions on
the herring fishing industry in
| Southeastern Alaska and the clam
| fisheries at Cordova. These were
! made public Sept. 11 by Gov. Scott
j C r>one ,chairman of the commit
I tee.
The herring regulations recom
mended follow:
“Kootznahoo Inlet closed to her
ring fishing at all times.
“In all bays closed or proposed to
be closed to salmon fishing, her
ring fishing will also be prohibited ’’
“The weekly close season of 36
hours provided by law for tfie pro
tection of the salmon fisheiies
should also he applicable to the
herring fisheries.
“There should be a close season
from February 15 to June 15, o f
each year, covering the spawning
time of herring in this district.”
The committee recommended that
curent legulations governing the
herring fisheries in the Prince
William Sound, Cook Inlet and Ko
diak areas be continued in force
another season and that such ad
ditional recommendations be made
as the investigations made during
the present season show to be ne
cessary'.
Kegarding clam fisheries, the rec
ommendations said:
“The size of razor clams taken
for commercial purposes is fixed at
four and one-half inches in total
length of shell, except that not
more than three per cent by number
of clams many measure less than
this minimum.”
Che committee suggested that
posters bearing this regulation and
its purpose be distributed early in
the season ,not later than April 1
to be followed by an energetic
campaign of enforcement. Describ
ing the clam situation at Cordova
...Jf ac^e’. jt ^commended that

LEAGUE TO STUDY
PEACE PROGRAM
GENEVA, Sept. 16.—Before leav
ing Geneva recently for their re
spective capitals, Premiers Mac
donald and Herriot, backed by the
delegations of all the other countries
put into concrete foi-m a program
which the assembly of the league
of nations will study in an effort to
elaborate a satisfactory system of
compulsory arbitration, designed to
put an end to war, prepare the way
for a conference on the reduction
of armaments and set up some satis
factory pact of guarantees and
mutual assistance which will serve
to make compulsory arbitration prac
ticable.
The heads of all forty-six national
delegations present, standing sol
emnly, gave their assent to the res
olution, which declared that the ob
ject is to strengthen the solidarity
and security of nations throughout
the world by settling by pacific
means all disputes which may arise
between them.
When the unanimity of the vote
was announced there were impres
sive demonstrations throughout the
auditorium.
Premiers Macdonald and Herriot
left Geneva apparently without any
agreemenf on the vital question of
how much military help Great Brit
ain will accord France in case ar
bitration decisions are not obeyed
and the general opinion in Geneva
is that thefate of the new move
ment to insure permanent peace de
pends on the answer to the ques
tion: “How much security will Great
Brtain give and mow little military
aid will France be content with?”
The attitude of the delegates to
day demonstratel clearly that, al
though all the countries are ready
to accept obligatory arbitrations,
this form of settlement of conflicts
much have a corrollary security
guarantees based on the employment
of force.
