PUGET SOUND WATERS
FLOODED WITH SALMON
First Run of Year Comes in
Heavy Volume, Booming
Business for Traps.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANACORTES. Wash, August 30
Moving in immense schools, Puget
Sound waters are alive with the first
salmon run of the year. Prepara
fresh fish from the traps had been
made by canneries, but there has
been such a rush that capacity opera
ton night and day is necessary to
care for the offerings. The salmon
have been seeking the headwaterS of
streams for several months, begin
ming the migration in the Bering Sea
region of Alaska
In May the schools had reached
Cooks Inlet. near Seward; in June,
ketchikan was in the midst of the
season, and by late July salmon were
clogging British Columbia streams.
August is the big month for Puget
Sound waters, while September and
later these fine food fish enter the
Columbia and other rivers to the
south. The vast numbers of salmon
coming back this season is proof that
the protection laws of late years are
aiding in perpetuating the species.
In Puget Sound closed season exists
from Friday sundown to Monday sun
rise. Regulations in means of TAX
ing salmon, giving these fish chance
to reach spawning grounds in larger
numbers.
This years salmon pack was sold in
advance, so great is the demand for
timed salmon and other fish.

The position OF the British govern

still somewhat obscure. Some time
ago Premier Macdonald and Arthur
Ponsonby, undersecretary for foreign
affairs, told the House of Commons
that the agreement would lie on the
table of the House for months in
case the members wished to discuss
it before it was sent to the king for

Presumably this course will be
taken, as the House does not meet
before September 80 at the earliest
This formal act will therefore be

.LAUDS DAWES PLAN
DR.. Schacht Sees Intelligent
Effort to Solve Repara-'

By the Associated Press

ROME. August 30.-Dr. Hjalmar
Schacht, president of the German
Reichsbank. who Is in Rome for a
series Of official conferences with
Premier Mussolini and Minister Of
FINANCE de Stefani. has given an in
terview to Tribuna, in which he
lauded the Dawes plan as IAN intelli-
gent solution of the complex eco
nomic problems of reparation, In that
1t proceeds in a positive sense"
The German f1nanCier declared that
Germany was eager to Cooperate
whole heartedly with Italy, whose
economic and industrial progress
since the war he described as
astounding" He detailed Ger
many's impoverishme and declared
that the Dawes plan recognized the
automatic principle of modern eco
nomics: that if one important unit
Of civilization suffers all others are
bound ultimately TO suffer in the
same proportion.
Sees Economic FnIlacy.
Evil is evil" continued the Reichs-
bank head. Poverty is poverty and
1T is absurd to think that evil can
be a mine from which good can be
extracted and that poverty can be
IL
ness under any consideration"
He declared it was the popular eco
nomiC fallacy to suppose that prog
reSs of modern civilization followed
the artificial laws that govern bridge
or NAH -jong or "any other game in
which ones loss is in direct proper
tion to another's gain"
He asserted it was perhaps super
fluous to repeat once more the truth

mite number Of times-namely, that
it is impossible to extract payments
from those in state of economic
proStration-riches from poverty"
Germany to Revive.
Germany, DR.. Schacht emphasized,
is poor today in a momentary sense.
Certainly it is not continuation
of these conditions that can render
us solvent" he said although
liQuidly poor, however. we are poten-
TALLY rich in that We have the possi-
bility to produce. And production is
riches. 1t was on these considera-
tions that the Dawes plan was
founded"
In regard to Germany's again
growing rich and powerful. as feared
by Germanys enemies" DR.. Schacht
conceded this possibility in re-
vived nation. He said that a country
of 60,00O,0O0 people, with the will to
live and produce. is bound ultimately
to make itself felt in the world.
