Real Issues

We need a national program,
foreign policy and a safer internal
organization We need them to
meet the European boycott that is
taking shape, If for no better rea-
son.
The United States is moving into
an era of trade competition that
promises TO be the stiffest ever
known. Our own booming times
have helped to shape it, especially
as they can be made to contrast with
the low wages and low prices pre-
vailing in other parts of the world.
The steel combine just arranged
by France. Germany and Belgium.
the rubber monopoly established by
England. cotton planting in Egypt
and the Far East, a concerted effort
on the part of European bankers to
form better trade connections with
Latin America, the development and
exploitation of Africa. requirement
of valuable concessions in China by
Japan-these are but few of the
signs that should warn us of what
is coming.
The symptoms of bad feeling we
have talked about so much, the boo
ing of tourists in France and the
colder politeness of some other coun-
tries, are hardly worth mention in
comparison to the trade war that is
/ in the making. the findncial lines
that are being established the indus
trial fronts that are being organized,
while our politicians gabble over
trifiing or WORKOUT issues.

The Alaska fisherman., 1926-01-15

is simply this; the fish trap is not property as understood in law. It is a mere license. The trap owners have known this for many years. Hence the Alexander bill, the Sulzer bill, the Garfield bill, the Britt Memorial, all drafted by the cannerymen, sought to give the cannerymen "vested' rights in trap sites This mere license termin- ates every year. The only right the trapmen have is that of actual possession. The moment trapman ceases to actually occupy trap site, he loses his right to it and anybody else in the world may then take the site
 So MT. Alaska Weekly printed in Seattle, what would the trapmen give up if MT. Sutherland's bill became a law?
 You might just as we'll demand that the United States pay all the saloon keepers because their licenses to deal in intoxicating liquors were taken away from them. There are no property rights in such license The holders know very we'll that as a matter of law, their license is only from year to year.
 There is another thing to con- sider, MT. Alaska Weekly sent from Seattle weekly by cannery- men to poison the minds of Alas kans, the fish trap is driven new each year in most cases. On account of storms and the rocky bottom of Alaskan waters, the piles compris- ing the fish traps cannot last from year to year. Therefore these traps are driven new yearly. This is especially true where the waters gre deep. for here the trapmen use fir piling imported from Wash ington. At the end of the season,
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-01-15

cannerymen send out their "pile pullers" and themselves take down their traps. Something like 5000 fir piles are brought to Alaska every year. So you can see that the fish trap is not property in any sense of the word. The cannery- men themselves destroy their own traps each year. Delegate Dan Suth- erland's bill would merely save the cannerymen from putting in fish traps.
 One more point about the fish trap. Cannerymen hide the fact that more cannery companies have become bankrupt by building fish traps than in any other way. One canneryman that we know spent over S3O,OOO in trap that caught no fish that year. Another big can- nery had 19 traps one year and did not get enough fish to pay the watchman. Another cannery ItIoC year WcuC UIOhc O1 dCCOuu1 cf building fish traps that caught no fish. Another canneryman spent over S12.OOO when the storms came and washed out the trap entirely. The business of the fish trap is very misleading and really cannot be discussed by such landlubbers cs edit the Seattle Weekly. For example, we understand very we'll that from the above statements, the chechaco would say, "Why then all the noise about fish traps being so effective?" The truth merely proves our case. The Bureau of Fisheries talks about the leverage catch of fish traps" and places it at about 5O,OOO. As a matter of fact these so-called averages are very misleading. Many, many traps catch practically nothing. To hide

abolished because it is the efficient cause of the depletion of our fish cries and our population.
 It is unfair for the Seattle Week. ly to brand Alaskans as being "bit- ter enemies of the (canning) in- dustry." The canning industry as such has no bitter enemies in Alas ka. But there are bitter enemies of certain evils that have been per mitted in the canning industry. We speak of some that we have seen; the robbing of salmon streams by some of the biggest superintend- ents; other canneries that equipped boats to raid the creeks; other can neries that canned salmon that were ,putrid; on one occasion a large cannery closed it's doors to v1s- itors that came from an excurs;o on boat because of the putrid salmon that were then being canned. We would remind the Seattle Week. ly that during the late war the Chemistry Bureau of the United States condemned over 8OO,O0O cans of Alaska salmon because the cases were more than 25 per cent putrid.
 We saw two great salmon streams that were absolutely blocked by two great traps that took nearly 100000 salmon, that is over 500, 900 pounds-aWay every day until the streams stopped producing sal mon; then the Bureau of Fish cries "discovered' that the stream was depleted and so ad nauseam.
 The canning industry as such has no enemies in Alaska, but we do not believe that even the Alaska Weekly, subsidized by the canners as it is, would defend the practices of these canners in Alaska
 It is to Delegate Sutherland: credit that he will not rest until the problem of Alaska's fisheries is solved. The industry will not be destroyed when the traps are abol ished. Witness the increasing inn portance of the fisheries of British Columbia where fish traps are not permitted. That district with a pack of one-fourth that of Alaska employs more fishermen than Alas ka does. For the same fish, the Canadians also often get 25 per cent more in price.
