His by reports that the canneries, of Southeast Alaska, larger pack than the Commis salmon supply can stand with safety. ley’s alternative for failure to obey h was a threat of further and more drastic restric- tions. The warning note was: I find that extensive preparations are apparently being made for the 1928 sal- mon pack, especially in Southeast Al- aska. This is borne out by the amount of tin plate ordered, notwithstanding the large supply of carried over from last season in this district The Bureau of Fisheries has been convinced that there should reduction in the Alaska salmon pack, but it is apparent that the present prices for the produce are stimulating a desire for increased output. This at- titude may compel the Bureau to cur- tail the season’s operators at a later date in order to provide for an escape- ment of salmon to the spawning grounds. The policy of reducing the salmon pack was clearly stated to the packers last November, but this seems to have been lost sight of in the season’s prepar- ations to date and the Bureau feels that a note of warning should be sounded at this time. The same condition ap- plies to Prince Willlam %ound as to Southeast Alaska. ; The Pacific Fisherman, however, sees in the gituation in Southeast Alaska little need for alarm. It thinks the restrictions adopted by the companies he ase in the warning part y those| were preparing for a much thinks the Mr. O'Mal- warnings oner cans long be a ‘Départment of Commerce on Mr. O'Malley's recom- mendation pose.

There were early reports of great numbers of trap permits being applied for, but to April 1 the num- ber of applications in Southeast Alask was only 413, a nst 599 licenses is sued and 557 traps actually operated in the district last year. These figures would indicate that if further restrictions are to be applied in Southeast Alaska they should be directed at other features of the fishing industry than elimination of traps. st year have accomplished their pur- Southeast Al- in line with . WHY NOT FIND OUT? Thomas Jefferson, unquestionably the greatest expounder of democratic doctrine the United States ever produced, said “a nation ceases to be republican when the will of the majority ceases to be the law. Two years ago eight States, with an aggregate population of approxi- mately 30,000,000, voted on the Volstead Act and the majority against it was more than two to one. Is it not time that there should be a new reckoning so that it might be determined whether or not the will cf the majority is the law in the United States? If it is true, as charged, that a minority of the people are forcing their will on the majority this country is not re- publican, SMITH ON EARLY BALLOT. The Associated Press gives Gov. of the 442 delegates elected to the Democratic National Convention.' The Smith managers in New York claim the Arkansas, Louisiana and Ok- lahoma delegations that are listed as doubtful by the Associated Press. If this claim is cor- rect, Gov. Smith would have 58 more votes, or 359 out of a total of 442. It is now generally conceded that Gov. Smith will be nominated, and it is believed that if he carries the California primary next week that all opposition to him will practically cease. The managers of his campaign declare that he will be nominated with a two-thirds majority on the third ballot if not before. CHURCH MEMBERSHIPS GROW. The Christian Herald's 1927 census of church statistics show a gain in membership of all the Christian churches in the United States for 1927 ‘of 573,723—a little more than one per cent. This a far better showing than was made in 1926, | it is believed that greater evangelical activ- is the main cause of the gain. _ The Herald’s figures show that the Catholics, yith a gain of 183,889, enjoyed the greatest in- The Methodist group (16 bodies) with a of 150,910 was second.

The American flag rapidly disappearing from the high seas. The cargoes that are being sent foreign lands from our shores are more and more being carried in foreign bottoms. Today less than 33 per cent. of American shipments travel their forei tinations in foreign ships, and the ratio is growing less with each pa ng week A century the Ame proximately 90 per cent. of th trade. By 1860 our own shi I than 67 per cent., while centage had dropped to 17.4. Twenty years later, in 1910, the percentage was 8.7 Only the World War saved the Nation from seeing its flag practically removed from the mer- chant ships on the high seas. With docks piled high with materials and no ships to carry them in save the foreign bottoms, the Nation was forced inte a three billion dollar ship building program. Some foreign shipping was being sunk and the rest was being used for war purposes. Heroic measures were needed, and American in- genuity was tested to the limit. We seized the splendid German ships we had interned and then proceeded to build new ones in an orgy of ship- building that all who were old enough to think in those days will recall. We came out of that war with 2,500 ships, of which 1,000 were operating and carrying 42.7 per cent. of our trade by 1920. Today that figure has dropped to 32.2. With such a small percentage of shipping at our disposal, it ig difficult to believe that we will receive fair treatment at the hands of for- eign shippers. 1In those days before we entered the war, between 1914 and 1917, when our products of farm, factory and mine were piled onto the docks and wharves, and no way to get them to foreign markets which were clamoring for them, owners of available ships charged enor- mous rates for the passage. It is estimated that farmers and merchants lost at least a billion dol- lars in excess charges, and that our people paid in a single year a sum estimated at from 300 to 500 millions. The nation, in its shipbuilding program, spent more than the estimated value of all the re- mainder of the world's shipping. But the expense held to be necessary because ships had to be built. Yet we haven’t profited much by the lesson. The Ame 1 flag is again disappearing from the high seas, and our national security is being put into serious jeopardy as a result.

Helen Taft Manning, Dean of Bryn Mawr, attacks the ban on married women which Boards of Rducation have raised, in an article in the April issue of McCall's Magazine. The daughter of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court shows the same faculty for clear reasoning that has distinguished her illustrious father. She does not promulgate a lachrymose plea for the married teacher from the standpoint of the emotions. She says that a good teacher should be retained whether married or single. She further says: Anyone who has been in touch with the schools and colleges knows that the number of gifted teachers, married or single, is so small that not one can be spared, and the number of ineffective teachers is large enough to make it desirable that more of them should be discouraged from going into the pro- fession. While it is true that the teacher who becomes a mother may have to sus- pend her teaching for a time, the very fact that plenty of the unmarried girls THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1928.
