They Just Had Te Wed to Make Everybody Happy! One Live Ghost—Lovers’ STARTING TONIGHT A COLUMBIA PICTURE Paradise Daily Alaska Empire’s News POINTED TALK " BY DIMOND ON HOUSE FLOOR Foreign Invasion of Amer- iCflll Fis}lf‘l‘ies in Al" aska, His Subject By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate Dimond WASHINGTON, May 22— (Spec- ial Correspondence) — Calling at- tention to the need of this coun- try to take an immediate and def- inite stand to halt the foreign invasion of American fisheries in Alaska, Delegate Dimond spoke on the floor of the House on May 20. Summarizing the life history of the salmon from its origin in the streams and lakes until its return to these inland waters to spawn and die at the end of its life cycle, the Delegate pointed out the prep- erty right the United States has in this branch of the fishery now threatened by Japanese floatin canneries operating off the Alaska coast. He showed how groundless in international law was the con- tention of the Japanese that they or any other nation have a right to fish in these waters by merely staying outside of the three-mile limit. . Arguing against the possibility of treating with the Japanese or in any way sharing the Alaska fish- eries with them, he said: “If we are going to share the Alaska fish- eries with the Japanese, will we not eventually have to share them with the British and the French and the Italians and the Norweg- ians and the Swedes and the Rus- sions? * It is impossible to make tredties with the whole world and if we attempt to share the Alaska fisheries with all of the nations cf the earth, then we had better admit at once that we have not the fortitude to protect our- - 4 +United"States to prevent fishin, aliens in the Bering Sea where such fishing interferes with the entry of Alaska mon into Al- aska rivers; this jurisdiction to be exercised through the passage and enforcement of an act of Congress similar in scope to the anti-smug- gling act,” which was passed by Congress in 1935, designed prin- cipally to prevent the smuggling of alcohol and intoxicating liquor into the United States. The act authorizes the President. upon sufficient proof that an at- tempt is being made to violate the revenue laws of the United States through smuggling, to declare a customs-enforcement area on the high seas without any limitation s to distance from shore. Within such customs-enforcement arvea the Government is authorized to seize | hold for iwhich are engaged in an attempt smuggling. A similar law for |the protection of the salmon fish- |cries of Alaska would enable the Government to protect the salmon an indefinite distance from shore when on their way to the rivers of Alaska to spawn, since they are truly Alaska salmon. In clesing he said: “This ques- on does not affect Alaska only— |it affects the entire nation—and it "in\'olves not only the immediate elfare of some thousands of our citizens but it involves a vitally important question of national policy.” |and jat i QUICK CONFIRMATION Confirmation of the reappoint- iment of Hon.
