SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE — Frank J. Dunning, 1011 Ameriean Bank Building FINS AND “ INGS Two hearings will be held in Juneau tomorrow, both of which are of vital importance to Alaskans and the future development of the Territory. One of the hearings has to do with Alaska's most valuable industry—fisheries. The second is concerned with the development and expansion of Alaska’s most vital lanes of travel, communication and transportation—the air routes. We are calling attention to these two hearings in the same editorial, because they have something in common. In both cases, men from Washington, D. C, are inviting Alaskans to state their opinions on the subjects concerned in the hearings. In both cases, we are assured, the testimony of Alas- kans regarding the regulation fishing in the Territory and the regulating of air traffic in the Territory is to be considered before official rules regarding these two activities will be adopted by the Federal government. The fisheries hearing is to be conducted by Dr. Ira Gabrielson, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, assisted by Seton Thompson, assistant chief of the Division of Fisheries in Alaska. It is the fourth of a series of hearings on fisheries regula- tions for the 1942 season. Hearings were held last week at Ketchikan and Wrangell, and at Sitka on Moenday. On Saturday of this week, Dr. Gabrielson and his party are due to fly to Fairbanks, thence down the Alaska Railroad to Anchorage, where he will start a series of fisheries hearings in Westward canning districts. The Juneau fisheries hearing will concern itself principally with the 1942 regulations for fishing, especially the taking of salmon, in the western and eastern districts of Icy Straits. If the previous hearings are any indication, representatives of the canners, fishermen and others directly concerned with the fisheries industry will be on hand to air their views regarding the way present regulations affect their business Indirectly, of course, the fisheries industry af- | fects every resident in the Territory, for the money | of ‘x(’gulatxous‘ of Alaska air traffic. - The second hear- ‘mg being hell tomorrow is being conducted by Ray- ‘mond W. Stough, director of the economic bureau nr the Civil Aeronautics Board, assisted by William |J. Madden, CAB attorney. This also is one of a series of hearings mI | Alaska Already, hearings have been held at Fair-| banks and Anchorage.

MISSING WASHINGTON After reading his address to the Congressional group, the President invited criticism. But except for one or two clarifications no changes ‘were made. One suggestion produced a merry interlude in the otherwise grim conference. It came from -Hoise Foreign Affairs Chairman Sol Bloom, famous for so diligently pro- moting the anniversary of George Washington. When the President read that part of the speech reviewing the measures against piracy taken by Presidents Adams and Jefferson, Bloom remaiked: “Why don't you mention George Washington?

The stars seem to forecast an effort to combine ‘cul-| |ture with mechanics, for machines |after dominating the second World | |War will be introduced into many | | places hitherto dependent upon man power. New inventions to-‘ gether with the improvement of old devices will demand a high idegree of technical skill. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: | This is a month in which even the most persistent isolationist must ‘{realize the peril of the United States in the second World War. Peace advocates now will solicit attention and while they will gain approval from certain anti-inter- vention leaders they will make lit- tle headway. The stars are read as forbidding any negotiated peace, because there must be no appease- ment in the relation of democracy and Nazism.
