Prior to the outbreak of the war in Europe, canned salmon was the most important canned fish export item, with an average of approxi- m 900,000 cases per year being shipped abroad. Of this quantity, Uniled Kingdom took more than 80 percent, countries now un- der German control another five percent, and many other countries made up the destination points for the the remaining 10 to 15 percent, Dur the year preceding the outb of the war, U. S. exporls of canned salmon to Great Britain sumped one-third above the aver- age, but then fell back sharply due w ~ue eftecis of the British con trol licensing of imports into the Ulited Kingdom More recently, the British demand for fish has caused a relaxing of impert regulations and has result- ed in considefable imports of canned salmon and sardines into England, The English people have always been large consumers of fish, both fresh and canned, and this increase in imports may reflect a shortage of such produets in England Exports of canned sardines have been extremely large during recent months. While normal British im- ports of sardines, which are a cheaper variety of canned fish than salmon, are normally about 500,000 cases per year, of which about one- fourth comes from the United States, during the period from August 1 to May 1 this year, ex- ports of sardines from the United States alone to England went up from 103,000 cases to 612,000 cas The Foodstuffs Division points out that it is impossible to estimaie at the present time what future im- port demands for fish from Eng- land may amount to, because it is not known how much the activi- ties of the English fishing fleet have been curtailed as a result of the war. The other important canned fish export, market, 'the Philippines, have not been taking th usual volume because of the reduced pur- chasing power in the Islands re- sulting: from low world prices for Philippine goods. As a summary for the year, the division points out that while ex- ports of canned salmon for the past year have been far below nor- mal, it is impossible at the present time to forecast the trend for the immediate future. | - —— The Daily Alaska Emplire has the aska newspaper | Gehringer Is Benched; Tigers Lose Yankees Tak'e])oub|e Win in Old Form - Terry Is Sent fo Bench By Associated Precs) Charley Gehringer's ancient legs. now riding the bench, may mean the end of Detroit’s pennant hepes The Detroit team has been built around the infield and the infield has been built around Gehringer.
