THE QUESTION BEFORE US.

The all important question before us today,
and which must be met unflinchingly, is the
question affecting the principal industry OF
Southeastern Alaska-the fishing industry. 1t
is a. problem that must be solved without delay
as it affects the entire country.
Briefly the federal food administration has
set the prices that the producers shall receive
for the various kinds of salmon; at a time when
the fishermen are already starting the summer
season after period of preparation OF possibly
several weeks.
From what we have been able to learn, these
prices are Objectionable They are a disappoint-
ment to the fishermen who had expected higher
prices; at least in keeping with the increase OF
the cost of living. Consequently, cannot fail to
result in a diminished production, unless some
thing is done at once. A diminished production
must not be permitted, on the contrary, we are
told to produce, produce and produce as the
country needs the fish. In our opinion, the
prices set by the administration are not in keep
ing with the advance of prices in other foodstuffs
Sometime ago, we asserted that, for the
government to set price on an article of COM
merce, would have the effect of checking the
product of that article. Many disagreed with
ample that proves the correctness of our asser-
ton. The administration fixed the price the
packers would receive for their products this
year. Apparently, the administration failed to
take into consideration the producers-the fish
ermen. The packers must realize fair profit in
the investment Of their money; otherwise there
would be no packers. Today, were the packers
permitted to sell to the highest bidder, some
might be tempted to pay the prices the fisher
men are asking and take the chance on getting
a fair return. But they cannot do that because
the government has taken the element of chance
out of the business and made the packers the
goats: in that the fishermen will not get them
the fish unless they are paid so much, and the
government will not allow the packers to get any
more than the prices it has fixed; and there they
are in deuce of fix They are being

WILSON MUST ACT.

In today's dispatches we notice that the
House of Representatives is holding up the ap-
preparation bill until the President has issued
proclamation prohibiting the manufacture of
alcoholic beverages from grains and fruits.
Had this been done years ago, we would not
be eating potatoes today instead of wheat flour.
He can get along very nicely without alcoholic
beverages, but it is mighty hard to eat potatoes
and other vegetables while others enjoy beer
and wines. By all means let congress force the
President to act

EDITORS AS CREATORS.

do lack for adventure and danger but they never

THEY MUST GO.

In the communication which appeared in
yesterdays issue signed "A Gardener" in which
the writer complains Of dogs running at large,
destroying gardens, We have the basis for an
appeal to the local food administrator to abate
the nuisance Thus far the municipal authori-
ties have failed mserably to carry out their
pledge embodied in the ordinance prohibiting the
owners of dogs to allow them to run at large.
Now, the food administrator can compel the au-
thorites to enforce that ordinance. Thus we
see an end to the nuisance.

stranded, as it were, and between the two bosses
they have no choice. It is case whore we can

Have Yet Been Decisively
Defeated
By the Associated Press

London, July 10,
There is a strong note of relief and Of
gratitude in the newspaper comment
this morning on General Foch's success
full commensurate hetw cen Scissors and
Chateau-Thierry. which is hailed as the
most cheering news for months. news
which. it is admitted, seemed too good
to be true.
Hearty tributes are paid to General
Foch's fine strategy and leadership.
while in several of the newspapers en-
phass is laid on the view that his sue
cess has been due TO the reorganization
which placed the Allied command under
one head.
The courage and dash of the Franco
American troops also are warmly praised
The rejoicngs over Thursdays events
however. are tempered by the belief ex-
pressed by the newspapers that the Ger
mans have not yet been beaten. and that
they by no means have exhausted their
forces. The opinion is put forward that
the Germans thus far have engaged only
thirty of their total strategic reserves
of between seventy and eighty divisions
What will happen when these are brought
into action Is awaited with deep interes,
by the military writer's.
II Is clear from the dspat ches from
the front that there is no illusion of a
victory already achieved. and that A
fierce German effort is expected to fol-
low as a counter to General Foch S
initial success. Seemingly nobody on
the front or in well-informed quarters
here expect the German high comma nd
to abandon the game until the last card
is played.

Japan Decides
On Intervention


an American proposal TO send Ameri-
can troops to Siberia. The newspapers
declare the Japanese Government has
decided to accept the suggestion made
by the American Government that
japan also send troops.
According to information in Toxic.
the plans of the United States in Russia
are twofold:
First. military assistance to the
Czecho-Siovaks. and. second. giving gen.
eral economic help to Russia.
The United States is described as hold
ing that the Czecho- Slovaks should not be
aba ndoned 1t Is said there Is no desire
on the part of the American Government
to intervene in Russian affairs but that
1t favors the dispatch of sufficient forces
to leave the Czecho-Slovaks free to in
sure the safe arrival at Vladivostok of
their comrades In the interior
The impression here is that Japan, in
a spirit Of cooperation with her allies,
will follow the suggestion and. like thu
Americans. send troops. Great Britain
and France, it is said, will send small
contingents so as to make the movement
inter-Allied.
Many Japanese leaders, however, favo,
more extensive military movements in
Siberia than have been suggested by the
United States. Their ideas are based
on combating the eastward extension OF
German influence and the safeguarding
of Japan's interests. 1t is suggested
as not unlikely that the Japanese Gov
ernment responding to this opinion
which is growing. may open negotia
tions with the United States and the
Entente Governments concerning thu
wisdom of Intervention in Russia which
while chiefly directed by Japan. woult
be supported by all the Allies. The indi
cations are that the statesmen who guild,

With the French Armies. July 10.
After. a night of omens IN hours Of
sheet lightning and wind. General Won
Roehm was awakened by more ma
terial shock. The French and Amer.
leans, who ought by now to be dis.
abled. but are not, had impudently
taken advantage of his pre.occupation
to break into his back premises be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne.
This attack on front of over
twenty miles from Ambleny to the
Clignon valley north Of Chateau
Thierry is clear demonstration of
the strength and spirit of our Allies.
and 1t is doubly significant as the
first large attack made on our initia-
tive since the beginning of the Ger.
man offensive months ago, and be-
cause Of It's shape and direction.
Commenced at dawn under cover Of
powerful rolling barrage, it took the
enemy completely by surprise. The
resistance in the German front lines
was not very effective. and 1t was
| only after several hours that it gath
cred strength Meanwhile the French
/ infantry had made good progress from
Rotx ana the Sayieres valley reach.
