Tagging experiments have proved that the majority of all the King salmon caught by trollers along the Pacific Coast, to and including Southeast Alaska, actually were spawned in the Columbia River. “If means of getting the spawn- ers over the Bonneville dam are not successful, there will be very few King salmon to eat the her- ring” one troller said. ‘“There is a question,” he continued, “wheth- er sufficlent funds for the full fish protective works will be avail- able: “If the Alaska trollers want to do something to save the King salmon they'll get the Territorial Legislature to memorialize Con- gress and the President, asking that there be no stint in providing adequate funds for the best pos- sible efforts to save the salmon at Bonneville.” Columbia River trouers can’t take very 'seriously the contention that Alaska herring should not be | utilized by man, but should be kept “as a food for King and Sflver‘ salmon. Commercial trolling really began at the Columbia River, and has been pursued there longer and | more intensively than anywhere on the Pacific Coast,” yet there are| not and never have been any ruhs| of herring within 200 ‘miles of the |Requests for Opening Bris-| Columbia River. TWO MEMORIALS MEET APPROVAL OF UPPER HOUSE tol Bay, Re-establishing | Signal Stations Pass | | Approval was given by the Sen-‘ ate today to two memorials, one originating in the House and the other an upper house proposal. ‘Without opposition the Senate| passed the House memorial asking | Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, to reconsider the clos-| ing regulations for resident fisher-| men this summer in Bristol Bay.| It has already passed the Hflusc‘ The memorial contends that 1,030 residents of the district will be thrown out of means of making a| livelihood if the bay is closed this summer, and requests that those| residents who have lived there two years be allowed to fish. Senator Powers' request that dis- continued signal corps stations in! the interior be re-established also} went through the Senate without discussioh, it being given unani-| mous support. It now goes to the; House. The Powers memorial recites that many communities are in dire need of better communication and that since some signal corps stations were discontinued many | places have become miore isolated than ever, and that often times long delays result before important communications can be transmit- ted.

BRITAIN-FRANGE PACT SEEN AS DANGER OF WAR New Alliance Said to Be Most Binding Agreement Since World War LONDON, Feb. 4. — Agreement between Britain and France to a proposal to legalize German arma- | ments inclusive of the scheme for simultaneous settlement of all im- portant European problems is in- creasing the “dangers of war” it was officially announced Sunday. It also was revealed the two nations agreed to a military air alliance binding them to come to the aid in case of aerial attack in field aviation. The new accord is regarded as the most binding alliance under- taken between nations since the World War with the possible ex- ception of secret pacts . Italy, Germany and Belgium were {invited to join the alliance as equal partners. Britain and France also have bound themselves to insure the |integrity of Austria and paved the way for the return of Germany to the League of Nations. GERMANY SOUNDS WARNING BERLIN, Feb. 4—In an editorial Sunday Adolph Hitler's newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter said that when Germany considers entering any international agreement “as a free and equal party it shall con- sult its own interest first and iforemost and not the interest of others.” Officials in the Foreign Office refused to commit themselves to any definte statement in connec- tion with the Anglo-British agree- ment.
