Of the new governments attitude.
The Under-Seeretary wrote in reply

League Has Become
Morgue of EurOpe's
Hopes, Says Malone
Criticizes Wilson ON Total
of RepsratiOns in Treaty
and FavOrs New Figure
Within Cermany's Reach

The mechanism Of the League Of
Nations has broken down and cannot
bring order out Of chaos that exists in
Europe to-day, Dudley Field Malone
former Collector Of the Port OF New
York, declared yesterday Of the Hotel
McAlpin in reviewing for the kiwanis
Club the results Of his two years OF
observation overseas. The primary
was the inability Of European powers
TO settle the problems which are bring
ing about the debacle.
Mr.. Malone declined TO split hairs In
his indictment Of Europe or those re-
sponsible for the miseries there.
"As the league stands to-day he
said, at 10 nothing but newspaper
morgue In which all tho problems Of
England and France that cannot be
solved by these countries themselves
are fled."
After dismissing the League, Mr.
Malone turned 70 a discussion Of rep
arations. No settlement Of reparations,
which he considers the key loi
In the European Jam, can be had
until Europe gets together on the
amount Of reparations. And 20 bring
this about, he declared, the United
States must take the lead In insisting
that the amount be reduced TO a figure
that Germany could pay without bank
ruptey.
The question Of reparations must be
removed from politics, whore il has
become a political football. and be
talked over In a business way without
rnncOT or selfsh interests. That is the
only way, he said
He criticized former President VIII
son for raising the raparations beyond
/ the figure Germany could possibly pay.
lie said Mr.. wilson's change Of atti-
tude on the inclusion Of military pen
sions end settlement allowances was

ioan experts. Take out the pensions
and headway will be made in rcpacl-

Yearly Closed
 Periods Urged
 By Commission

Resolutions calling on the Bureau of Fisheries to establish a yearly closed period on salmon fishing dur ing the runs and to enforce meas ures required to curtail waste in the herring packing industry were passed last week by the Territorial Fish Commission which met for three days in the office of Gov. Scott c. Bone. chairman of the Commission. The Commission has prepared a budget and outlined a definite policy for submission to the Territorial Legislature next spring.
 Those attending the meeting were Governor Bone, B. A. Roselle, Sec retary: J. R. Heckman, c. c. Hazelet and Supt Edwin Wentworth, of Ter torial Hatcheries. MT. Heckman was elected vice-chalrman of the Commission. E. M. Ball, Bureau of Fisheries Agent for Southeastern Al. aska, also attended one of the ses- sions of the Commission devoted to discussion of the fishing problems m general. "The Territorial COmmis- sion and the Bureau of Fisheries are working in close cooperation in 't- tempting to safeguard Alaskan fish cries and to promote the industry" said Governor Bone.
 Plans New Hatcheries
 While the complete program of the Commission was not made public it is understood that 1t calls for some extension of the hatchery sys. IL. At present there are two hatcheries in existence, one at Eyak near Cor dova and the other here. At least one additional is planned for next season to be erected on KetchiIan Creek to take care of the needs of streams in the southern end of this district.
 To make the operations of these more economical by insurins a plen- uful supply of spawning fish from which eggs may be taken, resolutions were adopted asking the Bureau of Fisheries to close certain areas 70 fishing To supply the Eyak Latch cry it is suggested that fishing be prohibited between the mouth of Eyak River and Mountain Slough. And to provide fishing grounds for the proposed station at Ketchikal Creek, the closing of an area in Tougass Narrows between Mountain Point and Point Higgins Is request ed.
The daily Alaskan., 1922-11-23

earnestly recommends that the closed period be ordered and established by law or regulation before the open ing of the fishing season of 1923 and pledges it's cooperation and support in connection herewith"
 Control of Wagte Urged.
 The Commission severely arraigned the present methods in use in the herring packing industry. These are characterized as "wantonly drstruc- tive" In urging imme ediate correc- ton, the Commission passed the fol- lowing resolution.
 Resolved, by the Territorial Fish Commission, that the Bureau ot Fish cries be urged to adopt and enforce such measures as are maifestly re- uuired to curtail the inordinate waste connected with the herring packing industry in Alaska-a waste which, in the opinion of this Commission, IS not only contrary to sound economic business methods and principles, but wantonly destructive of the fish food supply and endangering to the future of the great industry"
 Copies of all resolutions were mailed to the Bureau of Fisheries, The meeting, said Governor Bone, was very satisfactory and is expected to result in material benefit to the fisheries. The members of the Com- mission, he added, are alive to the importance of the work it is re- sponsibIe for and are giving a se- rious consideration to the problems involved.
