ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. man of the Golden Gate International Exposition which is planned for San Francisco from February 18 fo Decembér 2, 1939. The Exposition- official in- quires as to Alaska's participation in the San Fran- tisco World’s Fair, if any. He points out that Wash- | ington, Oregon and British Columbia are preparing to be represented and wonders if Alaska, too, is to be included in the world-wide publicity which is to be given “North American West." A great deal of benefit can accrue to the Terri- tory from participation in the World's Fair. Any ex- position of such proportions naturally becomes a crossroads of the world. Doubtless, millions of peo- ple will attend. From that viewpoint it is not so much a question of how much it will cost to have an exhibit in San Francisco but, rather whether Alaska can afford to stay out Right now three of four of the major cities of the Territory, including Juneau, are participating in an Alaska advertising program in the Wall Street Journal. The various Chambers of Commerce putting up each $1,420 for that advertising on the theory that it will interest people on the Outside in the Territory and foster Alaska's development pro- gram If some of the Chambers of Commerce in Alaska can afford to spend that kind of money in advertising fn"a financial journal, it would appear logical that Alaska can afford to be represented at the World's Fair in San Francisco, are “AN ALASKAN FISH STORY” The story of Alaska’s vast salmon industry spreads around the nation. Down in Beaumont, Texas, where oil is the No. 1 business, the Beaumont Enterprise rises to note that a $10,000,000 fish harvest is Bristol Bay is “not an inconsiderable sum anywhere” and( after glancing over The Empire's recent Progress and Development edition, the Enterprise comments as follows on “An Alaskan Fish Story": The 1937 salmon season opened in Alaska under conditions that were not “overly bright.” Last year “Nearly $52,000,000 worth of fish and fish products were shipped from the Territory of Alaska . & major portion of it attribut- able t the fact that Alaska packed last sea- son 8,000,000 cases of salmon, the largest yield thus far to be taken from Alaskan waters in a single season.” Alaska’s fishermen and other persons who make a livelihood from the territor; ber 1 industry” wondered if 1937 would be a good fish year. The Daily Alaska Empire of Juneau says there was some trouble over wages; it was a backward season and in some | places the runs were late. Some uneasiness | was caused a reported “Japanese invasion,” too. But the dark clouds rolled away. The fish | would not let Alaska down.

The canneries opened up. as usual, providing employment to a large number of Alaska's inhabitants. Allied industries became active, also, including the trap wire factories, lumber mills and supply houses. Of course all this activity would have been wasted if the fish had failed to come. When the Daily Alaska Empire published its “progress and development” edition on July 31, prospects for a big fish year in the terri- tory were bright. Bristol Bay, where the Jap- anese fishermen were said to have created a controversy, packed 1434388 cases, or riore than last year. Maybe the Japanese “in- vasion” was not as serious as reported. This pack means $10,000,000 or more, not an incon- siderable sum anywhere, although it is grati- fyingly large in Alaska. Officials estimate that the total pack for Alaska this year will be some 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 cases. Which is as it should be. When man co- operates with Nature she pays him large re- turns. To quote from the Daily Alaska Em- pire again and conciude on a “prosperity note” from one of Uncle Sam's most valuable possessions, once called “Seward’s Folly," 1- aska’s maji ndustry is again proving its right to that distinction. The fish are still with us. With continuation of the intelligent conser- vation methods which are now in practice and protection for those valuable fisheries as now undertaken through cooperative efforts of the government and the industry as a whole, they will remain with us, producing vast wealth through the years to come.” | Forestalling a Precedent (Cincinnati Enquirer) The President’s veto of a bill to distribute $294,852 among various veterans’ organizations, for use in aiding destituté or unemployed veterans and their | families, forestalls a bad precedent. Had the bill | been approved, a new avenue of congressional gener osity to veterans would have been opened up—one which it would have been exceedingly difficult to close later. Except for the angle of the precedent mvolv«‘d.; the bill was innocuous. The fund which it sought to distribute among the American Gold Star Mothe: the American War Mothers, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans is the unexpended balance of funds accumulated by various military or- ganizations during the World War. Part of the fund previously had been turned over to the American | HAPPY ——BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing: A SEPTEMBER 13 Mrs. Arthur Adams Samson Bakke David Brown Vella Truitt Moehring Marilyn Jewett — % DAILY LESSONS | IN ENGLISH | By W.

In travels this distance of 60 feet six inches in about two-fifths of a second of veterans It is ob what the consequences would be if government established a broad precedent for direct contributions to individual organizations, government, in the first place, would be without the customary safeguards to make certain that the money was properly used. That, however, is a minor point. More to be feared is the effect of inviting wholesale | demands for Pederal contributions. Congress has yet to demonstrate its ability to re- sist, for any length of time, a concerted demand from | the veterans—any veterans. Its inability to say no was illustrated on a grand scale in the history of the bonus legislation. More recently, Congress showed a willingness to please in a case where the need was microscopic and the demand was negligible, when the time limit for conyversion of war risk insurance was moved up for the fourth time It is highly important that the Federal Treasury be kept as sacrosanct as possible. There are already far too many instances in which Federal funds are being spent on things not properly undertakings of the government. In this particular case, perhaps. there was no reason why the $294,852 should no! have heen distributed among the specified organiza- | tions, except that had it been done, it would have ded an entering wedge for a new hole i the ry. the with The | c0lumn, begun in 1721 The his Rev/ Increase Advice to Mather, the Publie 2 3. “About,” used to express un« certainty. 4 5.
