His position was outlined in a letter addressed to David S. Tobias, President of the Camp Lewis Tent and Awning Company, a fishery conservationalist It told of the start of Japanese invasion of Unit- d States waters in 1930. “In the seven seasons since then,” Bell wrote, “a number of Japanese floating canneries have operated beyond the three-mile limit off the Alaskan coast, particularly in Bris- tol Bay. is s of States Japanese Probe “The Japanese government repeatedly assured the State De- partment through the Embassy at Tokyo that none of its vessels were licensed to fish for salmon off the Alaskan coast. In 1936, howev the Japanese government app: priated 89,000 yen for an invesii- gaticn in our offshore waters to determine the routes of migration and the availability of salmon. “The Japanese government has announced that fishing for salmon off the Alaskan coast on a com- mercial scale would not be permit- ted by vessels of that nation before this study is completed at the close of the 1938 season. “Observations have been made this year of the operations of Jap- anese vessels in the Bering Sea. . . These observations have been far more extensive than in any prev ious year and tend to show salmon are being taken in consil erable numbers by certain of the Japanese ve: Such fishing, how- ever, is believed to be a part of the experimental work announced last year by the Japanese govern- ment.” | Danger in Future | Declaring that the pack of sal- |mon in Bristol Bay this year will probably reach 1,300,000 cases, the Commissioner pointed out that| more than twenty million dollars |is invested in plants and equip- ment now in use in Bristol Bay, and that annual value of products has reaches twelve millions. More than | 8,000 cannery workers and fisher-' men are employed, “The situation is not the present time,” he continued. | “The apprehension is to the future, and it is hoped that by legislation lor treaty it will be firmly estab- lished that salmon hatched, and reared in our Territorlal waters are the property of the United States and shall be teserved for | use only by American industry.” ——,————— | Sugar cane requires 9 to 13 months 'to mature Taylor | | Schilling . pepper jrich in flavor] that | acute at, 21,000 AUTG WORKERS ARE BACK ON JOBS 'DETROIT, Mich., Aug thousand Plymouth dle since on accou irned to their e five-point closed but the the we - GAY BJORNSEN PLANS TO SAIL TO PALMER | TUESDAY ON YUKON 9. —Twen- mo J nent is net res Miss Gay Bjornsen of Los who has been visiting in for the ast al weeks, plans to leave tomorrow aboard the Yukon for Paly where she will stay for} short time beic returning toj :r home in Southern California.
