Eyes in the Orient see vast possiblities in the fisheries of the North Pacific. The comparatively few Japanese floating canneries which now operate almost in sight of our shore lines under no regulations naturally will become many if no barrier is raised to stop them.

If, as is evidenced by Prime Minister King's recent conference with President Roosevelt and by editorial assertions in Canadian news- papers, Canada desires a closer accord with the United States on matters of mutual interest, this affords a splendid opportunity for joint action—for an assertion that America (which includes the United States and Canada) will that the State Department be instructed to proceed (Cincinnati Enquirer) The Lexington, Ky, Herald is afraid that some- L body will start publishing a Digest of Digest Magazines | | Magazine, but there’s. a liniit fo digestion even in digest magazines, and a digest of all of them would be certain to be indigestible.

High barometric pressure prevailed over the Alaskan Arctic coast eastward to the Mackenzie Valley, thence southward to Alberta while another high pressure area prevailed over the Pacific Ocean from California westward to the Hawaiian and Midway Islands. This general pressure distribution has been attended by precipitation from the Prince William Sound region southward to Oregon and over the Aleutign Is- lands and by fair weather over the remainder of the field of obser- vation. 1t was warmer last night from the lower Tanana Valley eastward to the Mackenzie Valley.
