It can re / be seen that the Japanese are tak- ing fish from the most productive area the Alaska industry boasts. Bristol Bay is the foundation of the Alaska pack. Back in 1935 when only limited fishing was permitted in the district, the Westward pack dropped from around four million cases the previous year to only a little over two million with the restricted Bristol Bay actually was permitted to pack only 242,100 cases of fish that season. In 1934 it had packed over two million cases. In 1936 it packed 1,- 393,000 cases and, as previously shown, was near the million and a half mark this past season. Thus it is as. Bristol Bay goes, so goes the Alaska salmon season From this premise it can be seen that any invasion in Bristol Bay is not a matter of just taking a few fish. It is a direct blow at the very heart of the salmon in- v in the north, Without the normal Bristol Bay fimn-x production slumps; thousands are denied op- portunity for a livelihood; tax returns to the Ter- witory fall off badly, for it is fish that pays the major “Yortion of the Territorial revenue, and if the return from Bristol Bay were cut off Territorial finances would become a serious problem. Going a step further. from fish reduced, required to carry rindustry in Alaska would suffer, | That, briefly, is what encroachment on Bristol Bay fishing by foreign interests means to the Terri- tory. That is why a solution to the problem must be | réached, and reached on a basis that will in no way eause reduction of the Bristol Bay pack invasion previous in season. it follows that if tax revenue were other industries would be OVER THE TOP WITH THE RED CROSS ' ' [ :‘ There are many welfare agencies but few with a ¢fmore enviable record than the American Red Cross, :ADP with more clear cut general support from the pub-' £ The record of th thi@s been such that criticism is unwarranted.

This community should go over the top in a few days and it is safe to predict that the entire Territory will have responded whole-heartedly by Thanksgiving Day, though some communities may be delayed somewhat by lack of adequate mail facili- ties. At any rate, it is up to the Gastineau Channel community to set the pace, and reach the quota in short order. the little gal swimmer whose name now turns to Eleanor Holm eiated with champagne, the Billy Rose of show fame. was once the Rose I'hree Russian Ambassadors are being called home news dispatch, two of them to be which, take it, is another way of saying, come on home and get your head chopped off. says a we Last week end for a deer.

All the information about !the family of a prisoner, its associates and circum- stances, is gathered in the community he comes from. | Some private or public agency or a citizen of good repute is appointed adviser. If necessary the family | lis helped. The Supervisor of Parole is consulted by 'the adv A careful record is made and added to and the prisoner kept informed of it. Meanwhile | education, medicine, psychology, psychiatry are at work for the prisoner’s good, and all means of improv- ing him physically and morally and protecting the community after he is paroled are brought to bear. The place he is going to is prepared for him. The legal authorities and the Supervisor of Parole know the case from A to Z. “Employment is found and the employer investigated and certified.” Everything is made easy for him before he goes out with his cer- tificate of parole and his report blanks. At home the adviser and supervisor are waiting for him. He goes, in most cases, to the place of his legal settlement. In that case it may be supposed that the community watches him. If he is divorced or homeless, some new locality receives him. If he | breaks his parole, he is liable to serve the full maxi- mum term. In theory and apparently in practice the system is of undeniable merit. Mr. Huff is merely showing that, competently carried out, the Federal! parole system does all that can be expected to pro-| | er. tect the community to which the parolee is sent. It is noteworthy that the habitual criminal doesn’t | want parole. He objects to its restrictions and wants to be free to go back to the old game. He is no longer allowed to do so at once. Criminal recidivism is a | melancholy fact and the rate is high. So far as Fed- Al parole is concerned, some of us must have been 2ting the misses and not the hits. “Ninety-three of 100 complete their parole without violation.” Huff reminds us that “the common error which umes that parole is a form of Teniency is pro- | bably traceable to the development of parole from the concepts of pardon or clemency. Parole is not any form of clemency. It is distinctly a measure for com- | munity protection The humanitarian aspects of | parole do not in any way diminish the value of the | custodial provisions.” out Mr, Alaskad 1—'l‘u(|1v and Tomorrow ( Al’\\k'\ ‘Weekly) We are accustomed to harking back to 1929 these days and rubbing our hands in retrospective glee over the “good old days.” And, well we may in most sec- tions of the national domain. It is therefore interest- ing to note that imports into Alaska from the United | States in 1936 revealed a 12 percent increase over lhr. average of those haleyon days of 1926-29. | There is of course but one answer. Alaska is not | an industrial country as yet. It is a vast storehouse |of practically undeveloped resources, and paradoxical as it may seem, it is during periods of depression in the more crowded industrial areas that people and | |{money turn to basic sources of wealth. The 12 percent increase noted above is as nothing {compared to the probabilities of the next few yea {Mining is but beginning to come into its own. Fish- (eries, with proper orotection, may be vastly intensi- fied without possibLity of depletion. Agriculture is ccrv.am to develop, including the livestock branch of 'that industry. Newsprint has now reached a new high | in price and, with proper governmental encourage |ment, the time is ripe for the development of the vast | |forests of pulp timber. Tourist travel will cnntmuo |to increase its contribution to the total commerce as | 'mme adequate facilities for caring for the tourist as- sume a more important position as the evolution of | those industries on the “outside” make room for new | fields.
