Recent Department Decision
 May Be Benefit to Alaska
DIVERGENT VIEWS AS TO WHETHER RULING IN TENDS IMPOSITION OF DUTY ON FRESH FISH ICED FOR SHIPMENT AT CANADIAN PORTS KETCHIKAN BE BENEFITED BY RULING.

KETCHIKAN Nov. 16-The treasury depart ment ruling regarding socaled American fish, entering the United States through foreign port has caused con- siderable interest in this city, fishermen and business men believing that the ruling stands would subject to duty upon entry to the United States all fish which have been iced and boxed at forei ign port.
 However others in the clause unless the said fish are immediately shipped to the United States possible oophoe by which fresh fish discharged by fishing vessels at Prince Rupert may be sod iced and boxed at the Cana dian port and if then shipped immediately may enter the United States free of duty.
 Upon one point all are agreed says the Ketchkan Chronicle that the practice of having fish caught in Amer can vessels frozen in Prince Rupert and held there in cold storage subject to market conditions in the United States must cease unless the consgnees willing pay the two per pound duty Many believe that the n depreciation of the ruling strictly enforced the smallest oophole would be closed in such that all fish not shipped in bond from American port to other the any other merchandise would be subject to the duty.
 Another point that most people agreed upon is that Prince Rupert and Canadian interests will do all in their power to avoid the payment of duty fish packed Canada The Canadians, of course, would much prefer have their buyers Prince Rupert buy the fish, have the business of the fishing fleet at their port have their mills furnish material for the boxes furnish the ice and have their labor put the fish, and under the guise of en- deavorng conform with treasury regulations escape payment of any duty.

CANADIANS REAP BENEFITS

CANADIANS REAP BENEFITS
 Thus, as has been pointed out, the Canadians get the cream of the busi- ness from a strictly American product, consumed in the United States, and America, where the business origl- mates, gets merely the husks.
 Moreover, from all accounts, the Canadians are not slow to regulate even while they are getting most Of the benefits from the Alaskan busi- ness It is claimed that. when a Prince Rupert sawmill charged fisher men $14O box for halibut boxes, an Attempt was made to ship boxes from Ketchikan to Prince Ruperl in which American fish could be packed. The Canadians at once slapped on dump ing duty, then a merchandise duty, until the price was brought up to that charged by the Canadian frin. This practice discouraged any attempt 10 ship halibut boxes to Prince Rupert to put up American fish.
 Other practices, it was said, have been aimed at American fishermen to try and compel them to trade and buy supplies from Canadian ports.
 The viewpoint of Alaskans, inter- ested in Alaska and American indus tries, is that the fish caught in so-call- ed Alaskan waters and the deep sea off Alaska shores, for American con sumption should be packed in Alaskan ports with Alaskan material and Alas kan labor; that the Americans, in fact, and not the Canadians, should have the benefit of the business which originates in America and ends in America.
 Business Should Go to AIaskans

 Popular education is necessary for the preservation of those conditions of freedom, political and social, which are indispensable to free individual development.

The people must be schooIed in the knowledge and if possible, in the virtues upon which the maintenance and success of free institutions de- pend.

 Products of American fisheries landed in foreign territory and sold to foreign persons, firms, or corporations by whom they are stored, frozen, saIted, dried or oth- erwise preserved for shipment to the United States would not un- der existing law and court deci- sions be entitled to free entry. (See T. D. 2e143). Fish which are stored, frozen, dried, saIted, or otherwise preserved, in foreign territory before shipment to the United States are not entitled to free entry unless the master or owner of the fishing vessel retains title to the fish, and such storing, freezing, etc., Is done by the mas ter or crew of the vessel, or under their supervision.
 The effect of the rigid enforcement to the letter of Treasury Departmen Decision No. 39S22 would make it prof itable for firms now buying fish fol the American market at Prince Rupert to transfer their buying and shipping operations to Alaska.
 It is understood that as soon as this is done Alaskans are ready and will ing to furnish both transportation anG handling facilities.
