Change In Leasing System of Timber and Oil Lands Should be Made
 To Attract Capital.

First, I am impressed with the vastness of Alaska. I had no con- ception of it's true extent A map gives one a rather poor idea and secondly, I am satisfied Alaska is a country where things will have to be done on a large scale. Capital must be encouraged otherwise the Territory will deteriorate for I can see nothing for the poor man except perhaps, as an employe of big cap ital," stated Congressman A. M. Free of San Jose, Calif., who arrived in Seward Saturday from the PribiIofs.
 ''The Government cannot keep up the pace with respect to appropria- tions to the Territory. Statistics re veal the Government is expending s3,000 per year per family for their maintenance. If any State in the Union asked for any such amount, every Senator, Congressman and Cabiet members would jump out of a window As I see it, the salmon industry is the greatest industry the Territory possesses, but unless ade- quate restrictions are placed on them they will be absolutely eliminated within a few years. Congressman Wallace H. White, jr., and myself handled the new regulations fish bill. We passed the bill hoping to save the situation.
 Big Canneries Cooperate.
 Thus far on our trip along the Alaskan coast, we have found the American Packers Association and the Pacific American Fisheries, liv- ing up to the law in work and in spirit. At other places we have found other canneries violating a gentleman's agreement by transfer ring or enlarging their gear, etc. Not until it comes to a point where CO., operation by the packers will be maintained with the Government, can the situation be partly saved.
 Pack Below Normal.
 "The pack this year is not one quarter of a normal year. This is due entirely to the fact that five years ago the cannery men went wild in Alaska and packed everything and wasted lot of fish. We believe these restrictions will work not only to save the fish but the canneries and incidentally save a lot of reve- nue for Alaska.
 Bound To Be Hurt.
 Under the present regulations some of the packers are bound to be squeezed out. I have come to believe if it had been entirely lawful, under the conservation system, it would have been much better if the fish, cries department were given the ab- solute right to say how many can neries there should be and the kind of gear permitted them. Under this law, which would have been bound to be competitive, would simply be the survival of the fit.
