HATCHERIES

On the subject of hatcheres, from Missouri. Up to the present time, not one speck of evidence has been produced to justify the hundreds of thousands of dollars which have been spent hatcheries in Alaska. We have heard both Mr. Ernest Wentworth, the hatchery superintendent and J. R. Hickman, e-chairman of the Territorial Fish Comls- sion tell about what good will come some time in the future But neither man has claimed or submitted any proof whatever that single salmon has back to the streams of Alaska from the millions that have been matched during the past 20 years.
 There most extraordinary run of hump back salmon at Wards Cove last summer, thing that has not occurred within the memory of mankind. The hatchery advocates would like very much to claim the credit for this run, and perhaps in time they will. We have heard that Mr. Wentworth, whose job should depend on proof of success, has indeed claimed that the run at Wards Cove due to the Ketchkan hatchery. We were talking over this very subject when heard J. R Hickman, Wentworth's boss, say: "Paul, would give a thousand dollars if I could prove that those fish at Wards Cove from the hatch- ery" We answered him: 'I wish you could, but you planted eggs there, nor did you re- lease any frye or small salmon there and you know you have built your entire hatchery system on the parent-stream theory No, the explana' ton is somewhere else"
 The situation Is simply this unless Went

worth and Hickman can show the Legislature that the hatchery system is serving a commer- cial purpose the next Territorial Legislature will undoubtedly abolish the system Heckrnan has been in charge of hatcheries for nearly thirty years and the streams where he has devoted the greatest time are today barren of salmon. The Ketchikan experiment is his one last effort to justify the expenditure of more than $3OOOOO which has been spent on hatcher ies because of his advice. His true position was revealed when Hon. w. D, Grant asked MT. Hickman this question, "Would you put own money into hatcherles? 7? To which MT. Hickman replied, "No, I would not" This occurred before the Ways and Means com mittee of the last Legislature
 As for Mir Wentworth, the truth is that be cannot show from his 28 years experience with hatcheries a single salmon stream in Alaska that has not become deneted in spite of hatch cries located thereon He for many years at Afognak All that he prove there is that he matched a lot of eggs. But did they come back? that is the question in which busi- ness men are interested. Altho MT. Wentworth hatched from five to seventeen million eggs at Afognak yearly, that stream today is not a commercial stream
 If there any real brains connected with our hatchery system, the hatchery experiment would be carried on in BARREN streams in- stead of in streams we'll stocked by nature. Such streams as Ketchikan Creek and Wards Cove Creek never prove the value of the fish hatchery because there always has been natural propagation there.
 The hatchery advocates do not want a real showdown. If they carried on the experiment on barren stream the fact that the salmon do not come back would be quickly revealed and the fraud exposed.
 Stop wasting the publics money. This is the only way to reduce taxes.
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-12-15

A friend said the other day, "Over $30OO0 worth of material purchased last month from peddlars" That may be. but consider that more than five hundred thousand dollars worth of salmon caught in the Juneau district alone last by trap interests who left practically nothino in the Territory even buying the groceries in "Seattle."

CURT DEBT NOTE
IS READY FOR
EUROPE
Should French Negotiations
Fail Coolidge Will Send De-
mand to All for Action

The possibility that debt fund.
ing proposal may be received from
France within the next week or
two appeared today to have in
fluenced the Government to with
hold a contemplated curt and Of
ficial demand upon European debt
ors for liquidation of their wartime
obligations.
The attitude of France is re.
garded by members Of the Amer.
can debt commission as the key
to the whole situation, and it is
felt that the opening of debt me-
gotiations with the French gov.
ernment would lead naturally ana
without further difficulty to similar
overtures on the part of Belgium,
Italy and the other debtors. For
the present, It is the opinion here
that the other nations which owe
the United States are hanging back
to see what France will do.
If France does not make some
definite move shortly TO follow UP
the informal negotiations conducted
that there will be nothing else left
to do but to dispatch circular
note to all the debtor nations ask
ing them fatty whether or not
they intend to discharge their
seven billion dollars Of Indebtedness,
and If so, when.
Thus far, the American debt
collecting campaign has been almost
wholly. of an informal character.
The most hopeful sign to date
is the promise of French officials
to enter into negotiations for the
funding OF Frances $4,000, ,00e, ,00O
debt, and until sufficient time has
been given for France to act the
United States is unwilling to make
any move that might disturb an
already delicate situation.
