ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ROADS IN ALASKA The need for roads is a familiar cry in Alaska where we all realize that they must play a big role in our development program, and during the last Legislature the Territory made substantial appropria- tions toward that end. But, as Alaskans realize, the Territory cannot afford to carry on the road program to which Alaska is entitled, and in this connection the Seattle Post-Intelligencer makes the following point, often urged in the north: Alaska looks forward to the day, however distant, when its development will allow ad- mission to statehood. Meanwhile there is no reason why the ter- « ritory should be denied some of the rights that the nationzl government accords states. A prime need of the Territory is roads. Congress gives federal aid to states in road building, based upon area, population and existing road mileage. Alaska is denied the benefits of this act. It gets its roads partly from the department to Alaska, the territory, instead of being called Word that the State Department in Wash- ington has asked one of its members to assist the Bureau of Fisheries in investigating charges that harmful methods are being used in the Alaskan salmon industry should great- ly ease the tension which has increased on the Pacific coast in the last fortnight. Complaints against the system used by Jap- anese floating canneries in North American waters attest a timely awareness of the danger which threatens the salmon industry. Pro- testing interests do not overestimate the con- sequences when they contend that if Japan's big floating factories are allowed to continue operations in waters where they can inter- cept salmon returning to spawn in Alaskan and Canadian streams, an industry yielding John N.

Edward W. Allen, sioner, and secretary United States Commis- of the International Fisheries Commission, offers a more reason- able plan. While recognizing the need for controlling operaticns within a coastal limit of possibly fifty miles, he believes that a treaty giving equal rights and responsibilities to all nations alike should be framed. The ability to develop the seas’ resources has always increased faster than international agreements for conserving them. All nations concerned should welcome official interven- tion. Japan has as much as stake in wish- ing to protect the salmon fisheries in the north Pacific from extinction as either Canada or the United States. These three nations. and Russia as well, have evolved a satisfactory treaty for regulating the fur seal fisheries. And less than a year ago Japan reached an agreement in the long-standing fishing dispute with the Soviet Government. The peaceable donkey. Even the Aurora Borealis puts on greenery, greenness.
