"BEEF OF THE MOUTH"
Th© Beacon’s "beef" of the month is
the invasion (?) of the Bering Sen-Bris
tcl Bay area by the Japanese crab fish
ing expedition which was scheduled to
leave Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan, a day
ago, April 8th1
This fleet of Jap fishermen have set
the goal of the season’s take at a ’small*
50,OCX* cases of crab meat! (Well, the
Japs no doubt deserve it I This little
"TAKE" is just about three times the Am
erican take from this area.....and here
we are crying for development of our own
natural resources.)
Three of Japan* s largest fishing com
panies have filed application with the
Japanese government for permission t«»
operate a joint factory-ship crab-fishing
expedition from April until September—
125 days of fishing timet
A "mother" ship, of 5100 gross tons, 6
small catcher boats and 6 large catcher
boats with a total crow of 421 men,
7,000,000 yards of gill nets and 25 pairs
of trawling nets will comprise the small
time operation! Oh, yes.. .cannery machin
ery with a capacity of from 2i?-300 oases
pl‘' 46 6-J- oz. cans daily©
Only 630,000 crabs will be caught in
the gill nets; and 470,000 crabs in the
trawling nets...which will keep this first
’pack* down to the small figure of 40,000
cases of first grade crab meat and 10,000
cases of second grade mea tt
If Alaska had more than enough natural
resources to supply its own people and
country, then one might accept this en
croachment of the Japanese with good grace
but where the economy of the Bristol Bay
area of Alaska is already under torrid
discussion, it seems ridiculous’to turn
over such a potential industry as the
crab fishing will grow into to a country
that has never given the United States
anything but war and death.
