SBATTLE REPRESENTATIVE—Gllbert A. Wellington, American Bank Bullding. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) It is gratifying to note that the American Fish- eries Society, at its recent 69th annual convention in San Francisco paid deserved attention to the men- ace of Japanese fishing operations in Alaskan waters. By resolution the society urged joint action by the United States and Canada to draw up a sound conservation plan, covering all West Coast fisheries off the shores of the two nations, This, in substance, is the solution proposed Edward W. Allen of Seattle, Mr. Allen believes there is no necessity for the United States to denounce specifically the doctrine of the three-mile limit, which is recognized by the United Stat nd Great Britain in other fisheries - matters, and which is relied upon by Japan as justify- ing the encroachments of Nipponese vessels in the shallow waters overlying the continental shelf of the Pacilic Rather he u a red Coast fisheries issues, e fisheries mu of the United 8 by THEY CAME, THEY SAW AND, ()l!

How a man could spend two weeks in Alaska totally unaware of the system of communication which links Alaska “with the rest of the world” is difficult to imagine, especially inasmuch as every dock at which the editor's boat stopped had on it a large sign telling the location and hours of the local office of the Alaska Communication System of the Army Signal Corps, which has had the Territory connected telegraphically with the rest of the world for quite some little time Of course, the reckless or drunken driver remains Public Highway Menace No. 1. him.
