government of British Columbia the common right of fishery has always been recognized, and under just an equitable laws the native people of British Columbia have always and do today enjoy equal fishing privileges with the white residents.
 The Hon. John E. Rankin of Mississippi who visited Alaska in the summer of 1928 noted the con- trast between the unjust and in equitable fishery laws of Alaska and the fair equitable administration of the British Columbia fisheries, and floor of Congress in the following language:
 ''I saw a large number of
 fishing smacks off the coast of
 British Columbia. These men
 were catching fish for a living.
 There were no traps, no large
 nets, but they could go there
 and catch all the fish they
 pleased and sell them to the
 canneries or ship them to any
 port of the world. But when
 we got into Alaska we found
 there even our eXserVice men
 were driven from the fishing
 grounds by the canners some
 of the very people who had
 been prosecuted for selling
 spoiled salmon to our soldiers
 during the war. Congress
 should force them to take
 their traps out and let the
 small men, the individual who
 works for a living enjoy the
 fruits of their labor as the American worker does or
 should do, in the continental
 United States.
 By reason of her observation of the common right of all people to participate in fishery On an e. oual footing, British Columbia has built up a large and prosperous fishing industry which is financed largely by American capital and her fishery products compete in the worlds markets with the Alaskan product.
 We claim that under the Ameri- can Government we should receive treatment equally as just as our racial brothers are accorded in British Territory; that republic such as ours should protect it's cit iZens in rights that are recoonized
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-01-15

and equal treatment in the pur- suit of our calling that is given in all fishing countries except Alaska.
 We are not appealing for any exclusive privileges for a class of citizens; we ask no favors that others do not receive; we simply ask that all fishermen in Alaskan waters to be placed upon the same competitive basis under as string ent measures as the Secretary cf Commerce may care to impose for the protection of the fish supply.
 We are able to compete with the whites in fishery if we are given an equal chance with them, but under the discriminatory reg ulations of the Secretary Of Com mercc whereby monoply is given to certain favored whites competition is impossible.
 We have appealed to MT Secre- tary Hoover for 9 square deal and our representative have plead with him to treat us 'airly, but he ig- nores our pleas and therefore we now appeal to the American Con- gress for redress. We pray that the power to which MT Hoover is subject shall intercedc for us and instruct the Secretary of Com merce to administer the Alaskan fisheries in fairness and justice to all who are engaged in the industry

TURKEY AND THE LEAGUE

The Sick Man of Europe, has been remarked
than once is better since he left Europe to recup
crate in his native Asia. The latest sign of Turkish
convalescence is the application for membership in the
League of Nations
Her admittance would shrink the list of important
non-members to America and Russia.
Reports from Geneva say that the Turkish govern
ment, which means Mustapha kemal, is ready to Join
the league if the member nations will give that
country seat on the council
This IS an ambitious request, which would have been
rejected with few years ago. But the Turks
have made much progress politically and economically,
and they insist that they merit the honor of sitting
with the big powers at Geneva because they would be
'the representative of Islam.
There is still magic in that word, despite the disin
tegration of the old Isamic empire built up by the
Turks. The religion of Mohamn1ed has about 220.-
100000 followers, about 40 per cent many all the
Christians in the world and than any other
Christian sect except possibly the Confucanists. Mo-
hammedanism, needless to say, is dynamic than
Confucan;sm
1t would be embarrassing to give Turkey perma-
nen seat IN the league council after denying it to
Spain Yet Turkey has pretty good claim to
temperament because of the influence she can
exert in Asia and Africa and she may obtain it

NEW CROSSING OBSTACLES

Somebody suggests line of defense at railroad
crossings. He would plant straight the street
eight feet apart. Every vehicle crossing the track
would have to pass through between these posts The
presumption is that, if not deferred otherwise from
shoong across regardless of trains, the motorists
would slow up in order get safely through the eight
foot spaces. as they do when going through garage
doors.
Maybe they would, but probably they wouldn't. Oh

sport and would pride themselves all the beat
