Even the diligent patrols maintained this season by the Coast Guard and the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice did not altogether prevent Japanese activiy. At least one Japanese fishing fleet, consisting of a “mother” ship, eight large trawlers and a number of smaller craft, was seen operating in American waters, and was photographed in action. Some cannerymen hold that such operations| broke up the schools of salmon, making it difficult for the American fishermen in Bristol Bay to catch them.

HOOVER HOLDOVER Not many people realize it, but Jesse Jones is the only Rtosevelt Cabinet mermbér who 15" a’ holdover from the Hoover Administration. (Henry L. Stimson was brought into the Roosevelt Cabinet after serving under Hoover but only after being out of office seven years.) It was Herbert Hoover who first appointed Jesse to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and there are many around the President who very sin- cerly believe that Jesse, today, still represents Herbert Hoover inside the Cabinet more than he represents the New Deal. They like Jesse, bcause he is one of the most genial men in Washing- ton; but they are convinced he has undone Roosevelt reforms—through his control of joans—faster than the President has been able to pass re- forms through Congress. ‘Take, for instance, Jesse Jones' current contract with the Aluminum Company of America. No company has been more persistently prose- cuted for old deal monopolistic prac- tices than this giant corporate child of Andrew W. Mellon. It has even been indicied criminally for con- spiring with Germany to limit mag- nesium a material vital to the manufactire of airplanes. And every housewife has been asked to scrape “ogether her old pots and pans as a result of Alcoa’s short-sighted mon- opoly. However, RFCzar Jones has just negetiated a contract with Alcoa whereby he hands them several mil- lion dollars to build new aluminum plants and Alcoa, with absolutely no expense to itself, builds three plants at TVA, Bonneville and Mas- sina, N. Y. then writes its own ticket regarding their and operation Jesse Jones, living in the days of ‘Hooverism and Andrew Mellonis management ‘| wanted government financing for an Arthur F. Davis, head of the com- pany, to see Ickes, Davis cocked | his head on one side, told Ickes what a ferocious man he was and said he |aluminum plant which would get 1 electric power from Bonneville Dam, which Ickes supervises Davis said he would build any kind of plant the Government want- | ed and would manage it for the Government. Ickes replied he would be glad to cooperate, and sent Davis to Jesse Jones to get the money. Then, knowing Jesse's proclivity for trading Uncle Sam'’s shirt away to any corporations coming down the | pike, Ickes made it a point to see his Cabinet colleague and gocd- | naturedly prod him into driving a good deal for the Government. “You're just the man to negotiate | this contract,” - Ickes told Jones. | “You're tough. You can drive a real | bargain.” The Secretary of Commerce smiled with condescending pride. “You've got the same qualities, Harold,” he purred. “You just haven't had the experience.” In. the end, the RGCzar about as tough as the salmon eggs | spawned at Mr. Ickes’ Bonnevlllh Dam. And the Secretary of Inter'on' e suspetcing this, warned Jesse, vers bally and in writing, that he wantes to see a copy of the contract between \ Alcoa and the Governmept, in ad- | vance. Ickes also told Jones tha’ he wanted to see the contract in plenty | of time so he woudn't be accused of holding up national defense. | Time passed. Finally just before | Ickes was leaving town for two weeks, Jesse Jones sent over the Alcoa contract. It gave the Alum- inum Company everything but the kitchen sink. Ickes protested, asked that the terms be modified in favor of the Government . Later, a few modifications were made and the contract was flown to Ickes in the | Far West. \ But_this time Jesse Jones an@ Davis had put.thetr heads togeth? _AND SIGNED IT FIRST, proved |¢ but since Alcoa will purchase its bauxite or raw material from itself, actually it can regulate the price. 3. The Government is to get fif- teen per cent of the NET profits; but ONLY AFTER ALL EXPENSES HAVE BEEN PAID. And included in these expenses is cent per pound paid to Alcoa for salaries of executives, and % cent a-pound for various overhead. Finally, various Ickes proposals to head off Alcoa from being able to perpetuate its monopoly were flatly vetoed. For this, the RFC takes all the financial risk and Mr. Ickes supplies cheap electric power. The Alum- inum Corporation, with no risk, no money advanced, is not only guar- anteed its expenses, but gets a tre- mendous profit, Mr. Ickes pointed out. But not wanting to delay de- fense, he had to give in. For Cabinet Colleague Jesse Jones remembered the old days when his first Presi- dential mentor, Herbert Hoover, fought so hard against government operation of Muscle Shoals and against building Boulder Dam. And Jesse Jones seems bent on keeping % the country back in those dear old dead days of Herbert Hoover. (Copyright, 1941} by United Feature v Byndlut.e Inc.)
