MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The A republication of all se credited d herein news dispatches credited this paper and also to it the or local not n news ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLIUATION NEED FOR JAPANESE FISHING PROBE CLEARLY REVEALED In view of the countles contradictory reports on the reported Japanese fishing invasion of Alaskan waters, it is encouraging to learn that the State Department means business in its investigation of the controversial issue. Leo Sturgeon, rnprusemanwlj of the Department, in his conference with Governor Troy the other day gave assurance that the present| probe is to be no perfunctory one but a full and careful} survey with the aim of seeing the issue through to its final conclusion. Alaska fishing interests, both the companies and the fishermen themselves, insist that the Japanese are actually taking salmon in large quantities. The Bureau of Fisheries representatives contend that their| examination of the area reveals the invaders are tak-| ing only crab and other fish which are not in com- nercial use in this country. With such a wide diver-| sity of opinion, it is probably a fortunate thing for Alaska and the industry that an investigation is being | conducted by a Department which has nothing to do lwith the business of fishing but does have authority to act on any findings it may reach. | In this connection, a recent letter to Governor Troy from Archie Shiels, President of Pacific Ameri-, can Fisheries at Bellingham and widely known sociated Press fs exclusively entitled to the use for | | present position of being sixth in aviation. to} THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1937. in its growth and prosperity as many who are living there today, and who would do anything to prevent its ruination by invasions of this character. You know, and I know, that if the sentiment of Mr. Jackson is the accepted theory of the government, that in ten years time there will not be a fish left in Bristol Bay. In fact, I doubt that the run will last that long under thé sort of fishing that will take place from now on. Something else that i knows its ways and is just as much interested | | probably he does not know anything about, but you and I do, and that is that the death of the fisheries means the death of the Terri- ' tory as far as prosperity is concerned. When ! you destroy an industry that pays over { seventy-three percent of the total revenue of any Territory you can not help but destroy the Territory itself. I, with many other Northerners, had begun to hope that we had something to look forward to in the future but if this man's statement is official, I am afraid that poor Alaska is still the Govern- ment’s step-child. | | The need for taking immediate action as the State Department is now doing, and which has long | been urged by this newspaper, is clearly seen in the ! presentation of the case by various interested parties. Economy in Defense (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The modern airplane may well turn out to be an instrument that will reduce the cost of national de- fense, as well as provide a greater degree of national safety If it turns out thus, the Boeing airplane factory, in Seattle, will have provided one of the most effec- | tive steps in the process, as Senator Schwellenbach senate. Mr. Schwellenbach called attention to the recent | polar flight from Moscow to Vancouver, Wash, as indicating the value of the airplane. He added that the Y-B-17 bomber, developed by the Boeing company, promised to enable this gover ment “very materially to reduce its necessary mili- tary and naval expenditures,” explaining, in response to questions from the floor: “The reason these larger planes will be effective is the cruising range of 1500 miles. It is possible through the use of such planes, by establishing one base in Alaska, a base in the Pacific Northwest, a base in California, one in Honolulu, one at Miami and one in the vicinity of Washington, D. C., to completely cover the area which the United States desires to! protect.” H It is evident, of course, that advances in aviation | spell future savings in national defense, if proper ad- vantage is taken of them. i But first the United States must step out of its| of Washington recently reminded the United States | \ HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing’ JULY 10 Mrs. J.

MI | 4oelooments, will the United States be able to achieve | Shiels wrote: | the economies seen by its junior senator. ¢ I would like to write you a few lines with i Taw | account of the Japanese invasion in the fish- ing grounds of Bristol Bay. Despite what Mr. Wingard says that there are no Japanese boats fishing up there for salmon-—which, by the way, is in sharp contrast to what his own deputy, Mr. Lucas, is at least reported so have said the other day as quoted in our press down here—we have evidence from our own men that this fishing is actually going on. You know John Gilbert as well as I do and I think you know that he is now with this company. I have a telegram from him that unquestion- ably the Japanese are fishing salmon. I have a like message from Loring Daly, who has been superintendent of our plants up there since we bought them from the Warren Pack- ing Company and was superintendent for that firm for many years before we took it over. The Alaska Packers’ Association have the same kind of advice from their man, all to the effect that actual fishing for salmon is going on in Bristol Bay. I do not think there is the slightest doubt but what they are right. In this morning’s papers there is an Asso- ciated Press dispatch which quotes Mr, Chas. E. Jackson, Deputy U. S. Commissioner of Pisheries, with having made the following re- marks in Seattle yesterday with regard to this question: “The Japanese invasion, if there is one, is serious, but no more serious than the invasion of any other country. It won't be long before all fishing banks become international and the best hauls will fall not to the mations whose the attitude of the Administration towards this poaching on the fisheries that rightfully belong to the United States, then all T can say is that it is a sad day that is coming for the great Territory of Alaska. I don’t think I ever read a more open invitation to the nations of the world to come in and rape the fisheries than this statement of Mr. Jackson’s. I am not writing you this letter as President of the Pacific American Fisheries but I am writing you this letter as an Alaskan, one who loves the country, as you know, and one who ‘iJarley Tickles Pres Postmaster General James A.

Ition of labor, they will find the public more than | |ready to meet their obligations half way. | No one denies that labor has erred as well as capital; that the employer isn't always in the wrong; | {that some labor leaders are racketeers; that labor | unions should be more responsible; that labor must 'be taught the sanctity of contract; that jurisdictional |strikes must be ended; that outlaw strikers must be | |punished; that the sitdown is an evil ! | But the Tory who refuses to obey the law himself ! !cannot accuse labor of lawlessness and get a hearing. | When capital stops driving down the left-hand | side of the street, the traffic cop of public opinion will see to it that labor, too, obeys the rules.

Under this sway a tendency.to find fault with everything, especi- ally the weather, should be stub- bornly fought. Women may be peculiarly sensi- tive under this direction of the stars. The domestic atmosphere wili be threatening and outdoor. recrea- tions will therefore be fortunate for many families. There is a sign encouraging to small intrigues and silly deceit which girls should avoid. Competi- tion to attract young men may be keen this week-end. | Both men and women who carry| heavy responsibilities are easy prey | |to forebodings while this planetary| government prevails, Amuscment! Ishould be sought. Warning is given that the inclin-| ation to stress personal ambitions| and to ignore human rights may | bring about serious results if re-| |flected among Ametricans. According to a London nstrologer‘ the horoscope of Stalin indicates |great achievements for Russia and | tremendous power in the event of; attack from foreign foes. i Sudden drastic policies on the part of the President of the United States are prognosticated as likely to cause his political enemies new; anxiety before fall. ; | Colonial possessions *will disturb |Holland where internal disagree-| Iments may become apparent in government circles. | Persons whose birthdate have the augury of a year of pleas- lure in which social affairs gain im-| ipormnce for both men and women.! | Children born on this day pro-, |bably will be able to gain promin- ence through unusual personalities jas well as active brains and unusu- al talents. George W. Norris, United States Senator, was born on this day in 1861. Others who have celebrated |1t as a birthday include John Quincy | Adams, sixth President of the Unit- led states, 1767; John Wanamaker, |merchant and onetime Postmaster General, 1838. ! MONDAY, JULY 12, 137 | Benefic aspects rule today. ac- |cording to astrology, but adverse influences also are discerned. The stars favor brain workers of many classes. | The morning hours are favorable {for important decisions and the starting of projects which require | public approval. Warning is given that there may be an inclination to paint future achievements too confidently. Nep- tune today stimulates optimism. Industry continues subject to por- tents that seem to forecast persis- tent labor troubles which hamper important contracts made by manu- facturers. Aged persons may offer advice concerning national as well as fam-| ily affairs, but it will be rejected under this configuration which em- phasizes the egotism of youth. | The stars smile upon men who (wield power over business or gov- ernmental affairs. Secret plans, nec- essary to success, will prove help- {ful to executives. Demand for college graduates |specially trained in chemistry, arch- itecture and engineering is to be widespread in the early autumn. Young women who have linguistic talents and have been educated as clerks and secretaries will prosper 'in coming months. Persons whose birthdate it is lhave the augury of a year of un- |expected success through the co- |operation of strangers as well as friends. Women probably will be |exceedingly fortunate. | Children born on this day may be| exceedingly ambitious and indus- |trious. Subjects of this sign make | imuch of their abilities. | Charles, Kingsley, author, was, /born on this day 1819. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday in- iclude Clara Louise Kellogg, Ameri- |can singer, 1842; Henry David Thor- |eau, naturalist and writer, 1817. | (Copyright, 1937) = —.-—— NOTICE TO CAR OWNERS | Car owners are required to have brakes and lights tested by July 115 next.
