PLANS FOR SALMON A recent issue of the Rotarian magazine carries. an article by Edward W. Allen, Secretary of the In- ternational Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission, Chairman of the International Fisheries Commission and_ an outstanding authority on the question of intprnational fishery rights and problems. He calls the article, “Salmon on Table.” international fis! are not settled along with other post-war problems, there is a very good chance that there won't be any fish on anyone's table, given enough time This is one problem that Al ns have a vital concern with—or should—because the conservation measures and other regulations which make for a continuous harvest of the waters of Alaska will be of | no use unless’ new international agreements set up new limits. | As Allen points out in his article, the old three- | mile limit which was set up in the time when.a cannon couldn’t shoot any farther than three miles is sadly out 'of place in this modern world of the gasoline engine, the floating cannery improvements. * The way things now stand, American fishermen | plying Alaskan waters are restricted by regulations drawn up at home.

Private Hasamoto | (New York Times) In this newspaper recently a delayed dispatch {from Guadalcanal said that Japanese soldiers had been surrendering almost every day since January 116, Private Hasamoto, veteran of China, Borneo and the Philippines, member of a crack regiment led a number of his fellows into camp. Surrender had | been discussed in a larger party the night before. The majority vote was for sticking it out. Private Hasamoto and his friends had had enough. Leaflets in Japanese had been dropped copiously from plnnm Loudspeakers were telling the Japanese troops to| come in and get something to eat. Private Hasamoto says that his “actions were prompted primarily by thoughts of hot food, tobacco |and relief from the unending shelling.” The Jap- anese forces had been living on “three-tenths of a pint of rice and some soybean meal each day.” Lately Private Hasamoto and his friends had missed this generous diet. Fer five days they hadn't had a thing to eat. Private Hasamoto's “feelings as a | true Japanese soldier disappeared.” He had served | {in a battalion that was almost annihilated. The colonel in command had burned the regimental colors land shot himself because he was “disgraced” by surrender. Hasamoto feels himself ‘“disgraced” ‘; So Private 1and cant go back to Japan. He hopes to come here war, learn English and “build houses.” Be- fore he went to war he was a farmer. He belongs to no illustrious clan. By suicide he would have got no such glory as General Nogi and his wife won thirty years ago by Killing themselves to express their sorrow for the Emperor’s death. The Japanese | sometimes commit suicide when an American would write a letter. Still, in time of peace, the Japanese suicide rate is lower than Germany’s. These surren- dering soldiers in Guadalcanal are abandoning a strange custom. For a Japanese soldier to kill him- self according to precedent is as insensate as the compulsion, given up in the seventeenth century of | feudal reainers to follow their dead master “on the | dark path. |after the Fears that wartime regimentation will ruin the initiative of American business are unfounded, we | are beginning to suspect.

JAP ZEROS NOSE-DIVE In the early part of the Pacific battle, reports came back that Jap zero planes were superior to ours. That was true. But now, the Am- erican public can rest at ease.

HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration there should be wise understanding between older mem- pers of families and young folks| who are wage earners and inclined to follow their own devices. Mod- ern ideas are to take on a more conservative coloring than in the past.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Early em- phasis upon the importance of sac-| rifice for the benefit of the war coincides with the message of the| 25 stars.

NATIONAL ISSUES: Leading as- trologers see a dark fermentation 01‘ social consciousness which on .one | hand encourages workers to de-| mand increased wages and on thej |other causes the -capitalistic illu-| ision that it is possible to return to, the good old days. .Although the! past will be slow in its receding in-! fluence there is to emerge gradu-| lally a high spiritual understanding in which the brotherhod of man’ will be recognized. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:| |There is a sign which focuses at-| ,’(nmwn upon terrible persecutwn |of the Jews.
