terial collected. His first re-
port on the investigation is to
be made in the spring; but it
seems doubtful whether the
data so far collected will have
much bearing on the questions
Immediately at issue. It is
hoped, however, that within a
few years his work will pro-
duce information of real pract-
ical value to the herring in
dustry, as we'll as for regula-
tory purposes. Mr.. Rounsefell
spent the entire season in the
areas to Westward, including
Kachemak Bay, Prince William
Sound and Red Fox Bay, find
ing it necessary to concentrate
as closely as possible in the in
terest of thoroughness.
Many detached facts and
observations on the herring
fishery are reported from time
to time by fishermen and pack
ers, leading to various conclu-
sions: but more detailed OBJ
servation and scientific analysis
are needed to give such con-
illusions the weight of estab-
lished facts. In this connec-
ton Olaf F1oe, of the North
western Herring Company, calls
attention to a peculiar condi-
ton noted last summer during
a heavy run of herring in Larch
Bay, Baranof Island: run
which he considers probably the
greatest in the history of the
industry.
1t is usual, he says, that the
July herring contains consid-
cradle feed, and also great
deal of superAuous fat (belly
fat); but this year the fish of
the run mentioned were abso-
lutely free of feed, except the
largest ones, and none were
found containing any super
fuous fat, either in July or
August. This, he believes,
The Alaska fisherman. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1923-1932, 1926-12-15

they are never very plentiful
in this district, and the general
run of fish is said to have been
approximately normal. In the
areas to westward, where the
run was a failure, there are
very few reduction plants, and
it is inconceivab1e that the
quantities taken there in the
last few years have caused
amy depletion.
Producers present various 9TH
er arguments; citing the her
ring fisheries of Norway and
the North Sea, which have been
intensively hshed for hundreds
Of years, and for many years
have supported an enormous
reduction industry, without Wis
ible signs of depletion; assert
ing that there are herring
schools of almost incalcuable
magnitude spread over the off
shore banks of the North Pa
ci1e, and that periods of poor
fishing are merely due to un-
accountable failure of the fish
to run in the customary waters
along shore, or to lack of ad-
aptiility of fishing methods;
and that whales in off-shore
waters consume more herring
than are now taken for COM
mercial purposes.
Proof, however, is lacking
for most of the claims advanc-
ed either for or against the re.
ducton industry. There are
plenty of assertions, theories
and unfounded assumptions;
but definite knowledge of the
Alaska herring is sadly lack
ing. AS to the extent of the
resources-whether there is al
ready danger of everlasting or
whether the fishery might be
developed to many times it's
present magnitude-how wide

of their migrations-on all

and constructive conservation
basis.
There has already been con-
siderable regulation but it has
been based mainly on super
fetal indications, and no one
really knows whether it is ade-
quate or excessive. On the
other hand, the present agita-
ton in Alaska indicates that
strong political pressure will
be exerted for drastic restric-
ton. The arguments advanc-
ed may be entirely invalid, but
if not disproved will no doubt
appeal to many people; and
the pressure might conceivably
gain such strength os to
seriously cripple the industry.
The only real safeguard eth
er for the industry or the her
ring fishery, must be a knowl-
edge of the facts upon which
reasonable regulation can be
based, and which can be ad-
vanced as a final answer to
unwaranted and destructive al
legations.
The Bureau of Fisheries about
a year and a half ago initiated
scientific research of the AL
aska herring for the purpose
of obtaining such data, detail
ling G. A. Rounsefe1l to handle
the investigation. Mr.. Rounse-
fell appears we'll qualified for
the work, which he has been
carrying on conscientiously:
but in view of the vast area to
be covered, and the urgent need
OF early results, the task seems
too great for one man. The
Importance of the problem,
and of the industry whose
welfare is now at stake, would
warrant an intensive effort to
get at the essential facts with
all possible speed.

LONDON. December 4. = Princess
Elizabeth. infant daughter Of the
Duke and Duchess of York already is
the subject of gossip.
Everybody has wanted to know
where the royal baby would stay while
her parents are on their tour of Aus
tralia. 1t was generally assumed that
the hahy's grandfather and grand
mother. King, George and Queen
Mary, would watch over her in the
nursery at Buckingham Palace-the
precaution being taken to keep the
young princess far enough away from
the King so as not to wake him at
night. for King George is a light
sleeper.
The royal slumbers will not be dis
turbed, however. for Lady Strath-
more, mother of the duchess. is to
take charge of her granddaughter.
Lady Cavan and Lady Doris Vyner,
who will accompany the Duchess Of
York as ladies waiting, each leave
small children behind. Lady Cavan's
daughter. whose name also is Eliza
beth. is 2 years old, and Lady Doris
has a son, born this year, as well as
a daughter.
The battleship Renown is being
prepared for the Australian trip. The
duke and duchess will use the suite
