No More Railroads In answer to a suggestion con- cerning the possibility of further building of railroads in Alaska, the Alien Poaching in Alaskan Industry Comes Up for Consideration from the Coast Guard of Japanese floating caneries in operation at various locations from 14 to as far as 130 miles off the Alaska coast.

In con- cluding his remarks before the sub- committee, the Delegate made the following statement: For Air Facilities “As I indicated a moment ago, there is ten times the reason for setting up air transport facilities in Alaska and building emergency fields and even building airports as there is for similar work in the United States. It is already appar- . - | with the increase in the speed of | planes has come requirements for | larger and better landing fields.

One Case Cited “The flight over the Pacific by way of the Hawaiian Isalnds in- volves the carrying of an amount of fuel which cuts the payload al- most to the vanishing point and which constitutes a terrific hazard in case a forced landing is neces- sary. The route to Asia through |in this connection said: “In my judgment, Mr. Chairman, unless large bodies of ore are de- veloped which require rail trans- portation, Alaska does not require or desire more railroads, and be- fore any further railroad construc- tion is undertaken we ought to be |assured that there is sufficient trafic in sight to pay, not only the |cost of operation, but to amortize the capital investment within a reasonable period of time. Motor transport and air transport are so efficient that they will take care of all the industrial development now in sight in Alaska.” The appropriations for the In- |dian Service for Alaska were not taken up at the hearing mentioned, but it is expected that the subject will be reached during the coming week. The Delegate has arranged to be further heard by the sub- committee in support of the items in the bill for the Alaska Indian Service, particularly as to hospitals, medical aid, relief from destitution and for education. Alaska Pays “After having said it so often before, it is scarcely necesary for me to remind you now that Alaska is paying for everything you do for her and more. The bare records of the commerce of Alaska will show that each year on the average the people of the United States are en- riched by Alaska industry to the extent of more than $30,000,000. “A reasonable amount spent in the development of air transport in Alaska is bound to add to the economic production of the Terri- tory and thus further increase the wealth of the nation.” EPWORTH LEAGUE PARTY IS HELD prescribed areas except under reg- ulations promulgated by the Secre- tary of Commerce. Officers of the Coast Guard, Customs, Bureau of Fisheries, or United States mar- shals and their deputies may ex- amine vessels in said areas, and bring into port vessels, merchan- dise, or persons violating the Act. Salmon caught or packed in viola- tion of the act, if brought within the United States would be for- feited. Persons violating the act would be subject to a $5,000 fine and 90 days’ imprisonment and ships and equipment would be for- feited. Delegate Supported Testimony given by witnesses representing the Alaska fishermen and the fish packing inte; the Territory supported th gate's contention that if the po: ing practices commenced on a large scale by Japanese fishermen in 1937 are not stopped the Alaska salmon fishery will soon be depleted to a point of extinction. C. Chester Carlson, representing the Alaska Fishermen's Union, said that while the Japanese were fishing with their three and four-mile long nets g intercepting the run of the fish, the salmon got through only in small numbers and showed many ment as a Bristol Bay fisherman when he said, “We certainly are not going to sit behind those nets | and do nothing.” The Delegate al: expressed apprehension that if “suitable legislation is not passed there will be armed conflict in the Bering Sea.” Senator Norman R. Walker, mem- ber of the Alaska Territorial Leg- islature, outlined to the committee the importance of the Alaska sal- mon fishery to the Territory in producing necessary tax revenues and the adverse economic effect the loss of the fishery in Bering Sea would have if the Japanese are not stopped in their fishing for salmon off the Alaska coast. He called the operations of the Japanese an ‘economic blockade,” a statement that made a strong impression. Other Witnesse Other witnesses appearing before the committe were William Timson of San Francisco, J. N. Gilbert of Ketchikan, Capt. Peter Xitco of Bellingham, Edward W.
