SALMON GO TO WAR An example of what will very likely happen to Alaska's foremost industry as this nation becomes more deeply involved in war is furnished by newsl from Canada, where two-thirds of the 1941 canned salmon pack has been ordered delivered to Great Britain, The British Food Ministry has placed an order for 1,200,000 cases of salmon from the expected 1,700,000-case 1941 pack. British requirements will be given priority over domestic and other markets, an embargo has been placed on exports of fresh sal-| mon for canning purposes, all canned salmon exports| are to be licensed, shipments from British Columbia ports are to be supervised by the Dominion and a| rigid price maximum placed on every grade of fish. The British government has discontinued its former policy of permitting imports of canned sal- mon through the usual trade channels and has added | purchases of this commodity to the string of food- stuffs now under complete control of the Ministry of Food. The arrangement required direct dealings| with the Dominion government, which has now acted | to deliver the goods. | Thus is a resource as remote from Lhe battle- field as canned salmon regimented in modern war. The Canadian developments will have an effect on the Alaska canned salmon industry. Just what| it will be is difficult to predict.

Several of these young marksmen have | had to be deprived of thelr .23 rifles by authorities.| Quite apart from the fact that it is wrong to kill songbirds (which are protected by law) and wrong to shoot across highways or break glass on| highways (both against the law), it would be a seri- ous mistake for us to allow our youngsters to grow up thoughtless of the rights of others. This is a| responsibility which rightly belongs to parents and not to police or game wardens.

Professor Daniels has pointed out that the coun- try's large steel mills are located in sections where there is an abundant supply of coking coal. Wash- ington has the only large supply of coking cual in the West. Further interest is attached to this information by another announcement of the Department of the Interior. This was to the effect that chromite, source of the chromium used in the manufacture of high grade steel and plating metals, can be mined on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. The discovery is of added importance now when there is danger that im- ports of this material from Turkey may be cut off at any time by the war. The United States consumed about 660,000 tons of chromite last year. Less than one percent of this total was produced in continental United States. Turkey supplied about 70,000 tons. The growing demand for more steel for warships and other defense products will necessitate a larger supply of chromium than was on hand last year. The presence of this ore in some abundance as close by as Alaska would be a further inducement for development of a steel industry on Puget Sound. Those Aggressive Tuscaroras (Philadelphia Record) A Nazi pixie in the Berlin Foreign Office has discovered that Germany is still technically at war with the Tuscarora Indians. Seems that in the last war the Tuscaroras clare war on their behalf. They declared war, too, as an independent nation. Then the Tuscaroras, who don't keep a very large secretariat of foreign | affairs, forgot to declare peace. We don't know why the Germans think this is | funny enough or interesting enough to put on the| cables at this particular time in history. Maybe they want to remind their people that the United States Mayhe they | are looking for a pretext to attack New York State | where the Tuscaroras used to live. Or maybe Hitler is looking around for a suitable opponent for his friend Mussolini to fight. salmon to England and more to Canada and the rest of the world. The war is already reaching a long ways and will reach farther before it is over. UP TO PARENTS Alaska prides itself on being a free and easy‘ place, where most of the regulations and constraints | of populous localities are unnecessary. Alaska is not so free and easy today, however, that it can permit| its residents to endanger one another’s lives in rool—‘ ish pranks.

Ed McCormick, former Alaska Gastineau Mining Company machin- ist, left on the Ambassador for Chichagof where he was to he employed. About 40 persons made the excursion on the boat Alma to Taku for While there they visited the Libby, McNeill and Libby cannery and in the evening danced in the new web house with the 100 cannery employees joining the group. Members of the Juneau Shotgun and Rifle Club met at the grounds and worked hard all day to get them in shape for the big Fourth of July celebration. Col. J. G. Gotwals was a passenger on the Ambassador for Lisianski Peninsula to inspect the proposed site for a road. B. M. Behrends Store, in an advertisement featuring the bride's trousseau, offered “mull bloomers in pink, embrodiered in blue for $2.50.” Members of the Moose Lodge had a successful picnic at Salmon Creek.

Intelligence advices reaching the War and Navy departments already had established that Nazi submar- ines were operating out of Dakar— also some Italian subs, it was be- lieved, though this was not definite, German technicians have been in Dakar for some time preparing air bases, and some Nazi planes already are reported there. Despite the menace of Dakar, presidential advsers have been wor- ried as to what we should do about it. To take Dakar from the French and to hold it against all comers would require more men than the 50,000 in the U. S. Marine Corps. It would require an expeditionary force from the regular army. And while such troops are avail- able, the bottoms to transport them are something else again. Once be- fore, the British urged us not to get mixed up. in the South Atlantic be- eause it would divert our Navy from the all-important North Atlantic. The sinking of the Robin Moor, however, has played directly into the hands of those who have been urging the President to adopt the strongest policy in the South At- lantic and, if necessary, land troops on the bulge of Africa. 8o keep your eyes on French West Africa.

(3) That the appointment would be “smart politics,” since Stone is a Republican first put on the Court by Coolidge, and all of Roosevelt’s other selections have been Democrats. Among themselves the Old Guard- ers discussed a compromise deal by which Stone, 69 years old, would agree to step out in a year or two to make way for Jackson as Chief Justice.
