Peavson and Miller Freeman VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 22—G. S.!, Pearson, British Columbia Fisher-| ies Commissioner, urges interna- tional negotiations to bar any pos- sible Japanese invastion of the fish- | ing fields of the Pacific Coast. He contends that the salmon is the property of the United States and Canad s the fish are spawned in the untries and fthey could, if y, be prevented from reaching the Pacific. Consigering the endangered hal- ibut industry, which annually nets British Columbia fishermen half a million dollars, experts contend that Japanese exploitation of that industry would nullify the Canada- United States treaty aimed at run preservation. Japan Busy The Canadian Federal Fisheries Department said that experimental fishing has been conducted by the Japanese in coast waters this year and certain scientific data from which the location of profitable fishing areas could be determined is being collected by Japanese in- terests. The experts further stated that the Japanese floating canneries could be operated outside of Territorial waters of the United States and Canada, sending out boats and canning the catch on the high seas. nece TIME TO ACT | SEATTLE, Sept. 22—Miller Free-| man, Seattle publisher, member of the State Planning Council, said: | “It is now evident that we face the imminent prospect of Japanese floating canneries moving in on the Bristol Bay, Alaska, salmon, tismng! unless effective action is taken to stop it. The Japanese interests last' winter pressed their government to | issue licenses. for 'salmon fishing| and packing in Bristol Bay waters, the world’s , greatest red salmon | area, hitherto regarded as distinct- | ly an American resource. Such li- censes were refused for the time being, but officials promised an in- vestigation into obtaining a share in this great fishery.” Occasion For Alarm Freeman said the appearance of Japanese floating crab canneries and Japanese fishermen scraping the bottom for cod, hake, halibut and other ground fish “failed to alarm us and not until last year when it was learned that at least one of the floaters had been can- ning salmon was there any evident occasion for alarm.” MINER INJURED PECULIAR WAY Is Struck Down when Hy- draulic “Giant” Gets Out of Control FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 22— Sig Skjold, aged 30, a miner, died here Tuesday, 20 hours after being flown here, delirious from injuries believed received when a hydraulic “giant” got out of control and struck him down on Woodchopper Creek. Ekjold was found semi-conscious 75 feet from the hydraulic nozzle which was running wild and whirl- ing a huge stream’ of water in all directions. To get him to the hospital, Pilot Frank Pollack afd miners had to build a rough emergency landing field near. the, mine so the plane could land and The Baroness Eva von Blixen- Finecke, shown above with the Bel- lanca monoplane in which she in- tends to cross the Atlantic, is ready for the jump.

The same report also mentioned | Colonel General Wilhelm Goering | as Hitler's possible successor. Observers here feel that in case Hitler does resign, he would con- tinue to be the nation's moral voice and Goering would be Executive Ad- ministrator. This arrangement is believed to| be under consideration as a meas- ure to free Hitler from the routine |of State duties and offer him an opportunity to formulate unhinder- d the policies which Goering, on his part, would undertake to make effective.
