' Alaska needs money to develop the Ter- ritory’s many resources. Over the years, $100,000,000 has been invested in s mon fishing operations. Now, some people are urging you ‘cripple or completely strangle that in- dustry by destroying salmon traps, which provide about 50 per cent of raw salmon. Does it make sense? If Alaska is to grow, prosper a attract new industry, the investments now here must be given a reasonable guarantee that they will not be destroved by confiscation.
