WHO HAS THE WRONG NOTION

The Ketchikan Kinr,- patrcniz- ingly claims that the Wrancell people in asking that no alien Austrians be brought into the country are all wrong.
 The .KiutY- claims that there is shortage of labor, and that the importation of alien Austrians will meet the needs of the country.
 The SENTINEL in answer to the above would call attention to the fact that the number of men who will be taken by the draft from Alaska is very small; and that, as all the Natives are fish ermen and are rot subject to the draft, the loss from Alask as fishing force on account of the draft will be practically nothing.
 The SENTINEL would ask the 1/iUel CT any one else to give il lustrations of nets owned by can neries, that canneries wished to use, that ever went begging for fishermen.
 We have it from good authority that at times last summer fishing boats were limited to 600 fish a day because the canneries could not use more. Instead of being too few fishermen, there were too many.
 What possibly could have prompted the canneries to ask for more fishermen.
 Last summer was the first summer that the average fisher man in Alaska ever received a fair return for his labor. Some of the canneries were glad to see this. They are not asking for Austrian fishermen now. Other canneries apparently begrudge the fishermen the privilege of getting a fair return for their labor, and, so in order to beat down the price of fish, are ready to expose their canneries, and other Alaska property, and Alaska's food products to the danger of sabotage.
 This is the way it looks to the SENTINEL, and it suggests that the fishermen and business men who are really interested in Alaska do not for a minute stop the agitation.
 Does our food administration realize what the danger of sabo- tage is, in the employment of alien enemies?
 Crews of fishermen are con. tinually being shifted from one fishing place to another. It is practically impossible to watch alien fishermen. The evil minded would be free to do all the dam age they pleased.
 Then again, suppose one of these men should be employed in a cannery. How easy it would be to introduce poison into the cans, or to derange the machin- cry,
 If America wins the war, and of course it will, it must protect specially the industries that pro- vide food for its people and it's armies.
