More re- cently, the fisheries division of the American State Department has concluded treaties with Mexico and with Costa Rica, governing the tuna fisheries of their respective ocean areas. There remain, however, a number of problems that are likely to produce controversy in the future unless other international agreements of this nature are reached. Various Central and South American coun- tries, for instance, have begun to claim exclusive jurisdiction over all fisheries within 200 miles of their coasts. Further treaty agreements with some of these countries will be needed to settle the rights of American fishermen to the fisheries, more cially the tuha fisheries, they have developed in Pacific waters wise credited in this paper and aleo the local news published publisi R R R .

Wednesday, October 11, 1950 ELECTION IS OVER ‘The people of Juneau went to the polls yesterday in almost unprecedented numbers. 1,719, was within 82 of the total recorded two years ago when the fish trap referendum pulled a heavy vote. While the trend of the present election, in the First Division at least, is clear, the final count will not be in for some time yet, perhaps days. quite clearly, a Republican victory in the First Divi- Delegate Bartlett, who had carried this division | in previous years by four to one or more, ran only sion, two to one this time. Top spots in the legislative column for this Divi- sion are held by Republicans, on the basis of returns presently at hand, and there arz no indications that this will change. Juneau, too, appears to have well with one new Senator and at resentatives apparently assured. Fishery Policy Already Delayed Far Too Long (Seattle Times) Much progress has been made in recent decades in settling questions pertaining to international fisheries relationships in the Pacific Ocean. The establishment l-lle Washinglon Merry-Go-R_ou_nd __Gontinued grom Page, treated, and later got a more hos- pitable reception from Camp Pick- ett officers. They have decided however, that it would be a good idea to drop in at the other camps for Congressional inspections. Note—What Gen. Collins was driving at when he emphasized the importance of rank was that every enlisted man has a chance to be promoted, and that junior officers and non-coms are the backbone of the Army. One) Kaiser's Gamble Private enterprise, according to some people, is dead. But the other day, Henry Kaiser proved that it isn’t. He paid $87,000,000 back to Uncle Sam which he had borrowed on a gamble that big business had * branded as foolhardy. Back in the early stages of World War II, Kaiser, then building ships at breakneck speed, was frequent- ly short of steel. Finally, he de- cided to build a steel plant in southern California, the first of its kind in that part of the nation. Heretofore, the big steel companies of the Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Young- stown area had dominated all mar- kets, even supplying the west coast. They argued that the west was too sparsely populated to support a steel industry of its own, flatly re- fused to expand in that region. At Geneva, Utah, the U. 8. Govern- ment, contending that the big steel companies were wrong, pigneered its own plant for western operation. But even farther west, and with- out government subsidy, Kaiser er- ected the Fontana Steel Mill, whol- 4 ly owned by himself though financ- ed with a wartime loan of $123,805,- 000. After the war, when competitors expected Fontana to close down, Kaiser expanded. He has paid $21,- 000,000 to the RFC on interest alone, expanded his plant with $30,- 000,000 of private funds, and the other day repaid all borrowed from the government. Kaiser’'s gamble in private enter- prise is in contrast to various other private steel companies which wait- ed for the government to set up its own plants, then bought them in after the war, for a song U. 8. Steel, for instance, pur- chased the government's Geneva, Utah, plant for 20 cents on the dollar. It also purchased Uncle Sam’s steel mills at Homestead and Duguesne, Pa., for 33 cents on|pay Mead personally, rather than| the dollar, and a Dblast furnace at Duluth, Minn., for 24 cents.

Of more immediate concern, however, in the opin- jon of the Pacific Northwest fishing industry, is the question of a policy for dealing with Japan with re- spect to Noith Pacific fisheries. In a proclamation issued in 194¢, the American government held that if a nation has fully developed the fisheries in its con- tiguous waters, it should ha lusive jurisdiction over them. The United States and Canada have done that in the case of their Pacific halibut and salmon fisheries. In anticipation of the eventual drafting of a peace treaty with Japan, the nadian ministry of fisheries has issued a public demand that the fisheries of the American continent be affirmatively protected when- ever that treaty is concluided. To the disappointment of the Pacific Coast, the American State Department so far has failed, or declined, to assert any such positive policy. That such a peolicy be formulated and announced is being urged by a committee on fisheries and terri- torial waters of the American Bar Association, headed by Edward W. Allen of Seattle, chairman of the In- ternational Fisheries Commission and a member of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commis- sion. The committee emphasizes “the importance and urzency of our government coming out in the oper oon as possible with an affirmative and far-sighted policy for the problems of Pacific fisher +The American public, the Bar Association com- mittee holds, “has a right to be consulted in the estab- lishment of policies of this character before commit- ments are made by any government department, even the Department of State’ A That opinion is shared by the fishing industry and fishermen of the Pacific Coast. To have the support of so influential a body as the American Bar Association should be helpful in obtaining a definite statement of United States policy on this question that has been too long delayed..

That is the private advice sorrowfully given by Internal Revenue agents as a result of lenient convictions handed down by Federal Judges in Texas. The latest of these came from U.S. Judge T. Whitfield Davidson of Dallas, when he imposed a fine of | only $20,000 on E. P, Mead, mil- lionaire Texas bakery owner and onetime President of the Gideon hotel rooms. Mead had cheated the govern- ment of $245,593.78—though part of this had been outlawed for crim- inal prosecution due to the fact that the T-Men were a little slow in catching up with Mead and the statute of limitations had run out. Mead had operated a. neat fraud scheme whereby invoices for bak- ery products bore instructions to| the bakery.
