SENATOR HICKMAN
 LOOKING AFTER THE
 riSHERMEN'S PART

Senator Hickman is evidently bent on helping the fishermen to the eX- tent at least of securing the proper
 information where and when to dis pose of their catch.
 Last Thursday, the senator intro duced a memorial addressed to the Bureau of Fisheries and the chief of tho Alaska Cable service reciting that the fisheries of the coast of Alaska are now in the process of rapid develop ment and the fresh fish industry of the North Pacific ocean is being car ried on from Alaskan ports; that the fishing fleet is landing it's catch at almost every port on the Alaskan coast at which Puget Sound steamers call for southbound freight; that the city of Ketchikan is the natural fish market and shipping point for all fish
 destined to reach the markets of the United States by way of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad of Canada; that all fish destined for the markets of the Pacific Coast and Mountain States must necessarily be landed in Seattle or other Sound ports and that in or der to intelligently market his prod uct it is necessary that the fisherman of the Alaskan coast should be inform ed regarding market conditions when he touches at ports of our coast for he purpose of shipping his catch, it is urgently requested that the Bureau of Fisheries in conjunction with the All aska Telegraph cable service arrange that the price of fresh fish at Seattle and Ketchikan be bulletined every day at the cable office of every town on the Alaskan coast where fish vessels call for the purpose of shipping fish s0uthward, and that once a week the price of salt fish of the varieties that are caught in Alaskan waters be pub lished by bulletins at the cable offices of the coast.

ENDORSEMENT OF
 LLOYD GEORGES RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not lose sight of Lloyd Georges recommendation for unity of command in naval operations" says a statement issued by the Navy League.
 Unified naval command, properly constituted and with adequate author ity for tho direction of all naval op- erations, should ensure the utmost initiative in the conduct of the war by the Allied sea forces. It should guarantee t44at every advantage is az excessively pressed.
 Tt is a constant duty of public opinion to seek increased initiative in military and naval strategy throughout the war; never to be con- tent with what has been done as long as it is humanly possible to do more. Such an exacting attitude on the part of the public will do good, not harm.
 "But public opinion should never seek to dictate or influence strategy. The formulation of war plans should be left to experts. The proper func- tion of public opinion is to seek the utmost accomplishment from the Navy by pressing for a command properly constituted, of the most able control exercised by the ablest maya officers over all the fighting functions of the Navy.
 There Is no such centralized, ex' | pert comcand of the fighting function. of the American Navy today. Int ] British Navy is but just now achiev, | ing that advantage after months o. agitation by the British public. Brit ish naval opinion, as well as public opinion, is convinced that the Navy | fighting power is vastly increased thereby.
 Lloyd George has appealed to pub | lie opinion in every Entente countr! to secure a better command of tn, Allied armies. He has shown the i'm portance df that. It is quite as i'm portant- for a Navy as for an Army.
 'Unquestionably every American warship on active duty in the wa zone today is doing splendid work | The capacity for command of Vic, Admiral Sims could scarcely be over rated. But much less than five pc cent. of our war ships are in the wa, zone. Whether the entire naval es tablishment is doing all that is hu manly possible to win this war | whether it is being driven at tol speed with utmost efficiency as fighting machine, is another, ques | ton.
 '-The public can feel certain of thi only when it can repose complete con f1dence in the command of it's entir naval establishment as being consti tuted of the most able and efficien men available and the system of com
 nand as being the best obtainable Until then there is definite, construc tive task to be performed by publi 1 opinion in this country with regar, to naval operations in the war. Tn suggestion of MT. Lloyd George of unified naval command may affor an opportunity at once to improve tn command and offensive power of al the Entente sea forces and to re construct the command of the Ameri can naval blishment so as t strengthen it's punch" and efficienc as a fighting machine.
