Heve it should be adopted as an emergency measure to be operated until such as effective legislation can be secured.
 Suggests Regulations.
 We believe and recommend that this reserve can best be admins ucf-d under regulations as are herein effect set forth:
 "1. The establishment of can nery season with suitable regulation destined 10 limit the time and place in which salmon can be legally taken and packed; that fishing zones be established and that the closing date in each zone shall be as follows: Zone One. 60th to 76th parallel of latitude, closing date August 5; Zone Two, 57Ith to 56th parallel, closing date August 12; Zone Three. 56th parallel to in- ternational boundary, closing date August 20. The dates given are made with the understanding that the present Sunday closing law will continue In force. should this law be repealed we believe that the closing date in each zone should be five days earlier than stated above. We recommend that the closed period as outlined above should continue in full force for twenty days from each date named ana that at the expiration Of that time the fishing operations should be permitted to be resumed These regulations are to apply only to the taking and packing of salmon for commercial purposes and are not to include trollers, halibut fisher men and hos eengaged in herring fishing while operating within the limits of this reserve.
 "2.

seiners, but we have not found that it was wanton waste and. therefore have brought no indictment We earnestly recommend that stringent measures be adopted to prevent a reoccurrence of this waste and, also, that of canning salmon that are unfit for human consumption.
 Preventable by Reserve.
 We believe that both wastage of fish and the canning of impure fish can be largely prevented by the adoption and the enforcement of proper regulations under a Federal fisheries reserve system. We have found through common knowledge and the examination of many wit nesses. to wit. four salmon trollers, two fresh fish buyers, three private trap owners, fifteen seiners and op- orators of seine boats. six cannery superintendents and operators. three business men and two government investigators. that the fisheries of Southeastern Alaska are being rap idly exterminated and that unless immediate steps are taken to pre- eerve the supply this once vast and profitable industry will be a thing of the past; that 1t is nearly inn possible to secure. or expect, inn mediate and effective legislation that will conserve the salmon SUD- ply and save it from destruction.
 Recommend Reserve.
 We believe. therefore, that an emergency exists and recommend, as an effective measure to meet this emergency, establishment of Fed eral fisheries reserve covering all the Territorial waters of the First Division of Alaska; that this re- serve should be created immediately in order that the fishing and can ming operators of the present 1923I season may be regulated and the supply conserved. We wish it ex- pressdy undestood that we do not fn1or the establishment of rcserve as . pSfmhnent method of handling the < nshertes question but do be-

"LETTER OF 3l" STILL THORN TO PRESIDENT
Harding Finds It Hard To Fulfill
 All Promises

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Renewed discussion of the famous letter of 31 leading republicans on the League of Nations issue in the 1920 cam paign brought from the White House today the statement that although President Harding always has be- lieved the letter was written in good faith and that while he had no part in writing it, his administration has been endeavoring to carry out all pledges. The additiqal statement was made that the President, how ever, had found it difficult to change some promises in to actualities.
 The letter in question was signed by Elihu Root. Charles E. Hughes, Herbert Hover, Oscar S. Straus, A. Lawrence Lowell, and others, and when issued in the midst of the campaign was generally interpreted as conveying the impression that MT. Harding was not unalterably op- posed to American entrance into the League of Natiens provided proper reservations could be attached.
 Reference was made to the letter by Dr. Lowell in a League of Ma tions speech here Wednesday. the Harvard president declaring Presi- dent Harding went too far' in say ing in his New York address last month that the United States could not enter the league because "the Senate has so declared, the executive has so declared and the the people themselves have so declared."

POINCARE IS GIVEN
 OVATION IN CHAMBER
French Premier Has Support Of Col
 leagues In House

PARIS, May 25.-(By Associated Press.)-The Chamber of Deputies to- day took the first occasion since Premier Poincare's attempted resig- nation to express their approval of his policies. When M. Poincare en- tered the chamber for the continua- tion of the debate on the appropria - tions for the Ruhr occupation costs. nearly the entire body arose and cheered. The demonstration was in terpreted as the answer of the cham : Der to the Senate's, action on the Cachin case yesterday which prompted M. Poincare to proffer his resignation to the President.
 After the ovation the debate drag ged on in the midst of the general impatience of the deputies, who were seemingly ready and eager to vote the money asked for. Political eXi- gencies, however, seemed to require that some of the polical leaders, such as Edouard Herriot and Andre Tardieu, have their say. The former, representing the views of the radical party, made the sharpest attack or the governments policy in the Ruhr yet heard in parliament; but eX- pressions of approval of his views came only from the radical and so- cialist benches.
 The debate went over again until next Tuesday, when M. Tardieu will have the floor. The general opinion is that d large majority is certain for the cabinet.

NEW YORK, May 25.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Religion and world politics vied with steel in the dis cussions at the annual meeting of the American Iron and Steel institute today.
 Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United States corporation. and presi- dent of the institute, devoted most of his annual address to defense of the Bible and a plea for a turning toward Christian principles in busi- ness and politics, as well as in per- sonal affairs.
 Tonight, at the annual dinner, Prince Gelasio Caetani.
