He predicted that the South- east Alaska pack would reach 2,- 000,000 cases. This, he added, while not a big pack, is fair and is highly satisfac- tory following the dismal failure of 1927 when the Bureau of Fisheries closed down commercial fishing considerably ahead of the original closing date. He reviewed the several sections briefly. The Karluk River red run and Cook Inlet generally were the only areas where conditions were ansatisfactory, At the close of operations of August 10, the salmon canneries of Scutheast Alaska had a p of 1,- 541,000 cases of all varieties it was announced today by Henry O'Malley, United States Commis- sioner of Fisheries. The feature in the pack was the unusual propor tion of red salmon in the district, 150,292 cases being reported. It will be about two weeks end of the season. estimate was made on the pack. The pack by varieties as an- nounced by the Commissioner fol- lows: Kings, 6,537; reds, 150, pinks, 1,126,305; chums, 205,795; cohoes, 51,473 cases. In addition to these figures, two canneries had not reported their packs which, it was certain, would boost the total to above 1,600,000 cases.

All nations protest against hav- ing to pay their war debts; states- men protest against each other's pronouncements; parties protest against each other’s policies; mi- norities protest against coercion by their overlords; the Rhineland pro- tests; the Saar protests; farmers protest against governmental ne- glect and the man in the street is forever protesting against the cost of living and high taxation. All these protests evoke counter- protests, and these counter-pro- tests lead to more protests, and so on endlessly. The city of Danzig protested against the Versailles Treaty on its tenth anniversary. The Poles pro- tested that the Danzigers had no right to protest. Then the Dan- zigers protested against the Polish protest, whereupon the Poles re- protested. Protesting becomes a mania in individual cases. At Traunstein, Bavaria, a man committed suicide, because, he said in a note, he felt himself responsible for all the ills and troubles of the Fatherland.
