THE HERRING FISHERIES
Threatened depletion of tn TUT

Theratened depletion of tn run of the herring fishergies through tn operation of rduction plants has provokd vigorous protest among residents of British Columbia. The dominion of Government recently authorized the use of herring for fish reduction purposes. There is much opposition to the move, how ever, the attention of the govren- mtnt having been directed to the certain depetion of the fisheries with such regulations in force. The opposition is well organized and determined.
 There is protest on the American side of the boundary against the continued use of herring for other than human food and bait purposes and there seems to be sufficient warrant immediate consideration bv the American government. Re- ductton plants should not be per- nttttd ocontinue their ruthless destruction of an important food if there is the remotest risk of de- sponsible for the perpetuation of Alaska fisheries and should know to what extent they can be exploit Cd without menace to future SUD- pies. If such knowledge is not pos sessed, the time has surely arrived to acquire it. The question is one of importance to both the Ameri- eau and the Canadian governments and investigation might with pro- lit be conducted jointly, thereby avoiding needless duplication of ef- fort and insuring more definite con- clusions. ***
 The Times does not orpfess to know a great deal about the her ring situation but it is willing to take the word of an Alaska fisher man against that of a herring ex- ploiler. It was not so long ago, il will be recalled, that the salmon packers were loud in their protest atoins against restrictive regula- tons, declaring that there were enough salmon in the waters of Alaska to keep their plants sup disclosed that they were wrong and Investigation also may show that there is now need of conservation in harvesting herring. Alaska can not afford to risk destruction of ment to bona fde residents of the territiry. One prosperous resident fisherman is worth more to Alaska than a whole boatload of imported herring reducers.
