Without them the Territory would have to levv additional taxes on all other Alaska businesses and individuals. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow canneries to operate efficiently. Without traps, at least 25 large canneries would .close down because they would be stripped of their dependable supply of salmon—thousands of men would lose their Jjobs. Traps are vital to Alaska's economy. Oonfiscate them and you undermine the Territory’s stability. An unstable region cannot develop a diversified economy. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fish- ermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps and you cut down. these earnings. Nobody gains— everybody loses. v Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world lead-, ershiv In the canned salmon industry. Con- fiscate them and you so weaken America’s posi- tlon that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing U. 8. built floatnig canneries, to seize this prize in world trade. The Japanees demonstrated, in 1937, by their operations in Bristol Bay, that such floating cannerles constitute a real threat. Traps represent large investments in venture capital. Confiscate them and vou discourage other industries from investing in Alaska’s fu- tuge, Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate them and you establish a gear monopoly in the catching of salmon. Traps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack. Varying conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it economically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps. their construction? Traps fish 24 hours per day, while seiners have to sleep and rarelv work more than fifteen hours per day, allowing at least nine hours per day for escapement. Who said traps conserve salmon! LOSS OF REVENUE? A trap license costs a non-resident owner $300.00 per year. The license for four non-resident seine boats catching an equal amount of fish as one trap would bring the Territory $980.00. That does not sound to me like - lcss of revenue! If the large canneries were out of business, would not Alaska be better off? THEN smaller local companies could get started, employ Alaskans and keep Alaska wages in Alaska! Have you tried to get a-trap location within the past several years? Then you know the practical impossibility of it. Why should vested non-resi- dent interests have the majority of traps, to the exclusion of smaller local industries, which loeal industries are the foundaticn of the Territory’s stability! Ask the Puget Sound seiners how they fared on fish prices, as long as the trans were in operation there! After the traps were voted out of Wash- ington, seine fish prices at long last had a chance to be equal to fish values, If vou think that fish traps can keep us out of war with Russia, let's keep the traps, otherwise let us use mature judgment regarding this state- ment! Did elimination of traps in Puget Sound dis- courage other industries there? Gear monopoly, yes! But of individual seiners and gillnetters, largely Alaskan residents! And whoever heard of a monopoly that hurt industry . where there is 'healthy competition between seiners and gillnetters! PUGET SOUND is doing very nicely without traps! It is very possible thet Alaska could do as well without traps! ject was tabled until the next meet- ing. 3 teach, sang, danced and roasted weiners.
