 REGARDING ALASKAN FISHERIES

Commission approved of the closing order. Louis Knafflich and Al Walsh appeared at the second Seat tie hearing and protested against the present dead line" at the mouth of the Kuskokwim. claiming that it is set too far out.

Riggs made a statement relative to the Alaskan fisheries industry based on his personal observations and knowledge gained as chairman of the Territorial Fish Commission. He also put into the record a written statement on the same subject. His position, said MT Garfield. was in perfect accord with that taken by the Territorial Fish Commission.
 Proposed Alaska Fisheries Bill
 The fisheries bill. which MT. Gar field said would probably be passed by Congress, follows in full:
 Be is enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled.
 Act of Congress entitled An Act for the Protection and Regulation of the Fisheries of Alaska, approved June 26. 19O6,' is hereby amended to read as follows:
 "Sec. 6, That the Secretary of Commerce may, in his discretion. set aside any streams or lakes as pre- serves or spawning grounds in which fishing may be limited or entirely prohibited; and whenever, in his judgment, 1t is necessary for the conservation of salmon or other fish including shell fish. and to prevent the depletion or the destruction thereof. he is authorized to estab. fish close seasons or to limit or to prohibit entirely the fishing for sal man or other fish including shell fish. for period of one year or more in any of the waters of the Territory

General debate on the finance committee amendments to the House bill and those already of fered or to be offered from the floor was to follw.
 A flood of proposed changes was expected from both sides of the chamber.
 The Democrats expect to train their biggest guns on the corporation and our tax provisions.

 Public interest in the tax bill was believed by Senate attaches to be re- eucted in the size of the crowds which have remained for hours in the galleries for such a dry proceeding as the reading of the bill, which has been enlivened only by a few tilts by leaders on the two sides.

Chicago Sept. 2S.-The charge that English inSiStence on control of Irish harbors and air routes between Ire land and America constituted a yelled menace to the United States was con- tained in a letter of protest addressed today by the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic to President Harding The protest was the outcome of a meeting held here by the National directors of the association of which the significance of the British naval and air policy in Ireland was a principal topic of discussion. The meeting was called at the suggestion of Hon. Stephen O'Meara head of the diplomatic mis- sion of the Irish republic to the United States who mingled with the delegates throughout the session and advised them fully of the Sim Fein attitude.
 The protest letter lays stress on the clause of the proposals of the British government dated July 20, which provide that Great Britain shall be granted control of Irish harborS fer naval purposes and that the royal air force shall have all necessary fla ciIities for development of communi- cations by air. George Bernard Shaw, noted English radical, is quoted as saving: tfwhat is the next military enterprise to which Lloyd George has expressly committed himself ? Nothing less than conflict with the seas The signers of the protest de- clare that as American citizens who are concerned that Ireland shall never be used as base for offensive op- erations against the United States. they are apprehensive that the de
