THE ALASKA FISHERMAN

This bill was written by Dan Suth- erland and would have passed Con- gross but for the opposition of the Bureau of Fisheries.
 To the extent to which O'Malley is progressing, we wish to give him our support. There are many indi- cations that he is learning. We feel encouraged. Later we are con- fident that he will abolish the sea- sonal closed period plan so foolish ly forced through the Alaska Legis- lature by J. R.

that friendly relations with Poland are

pealed to the Council of the League
Of Nations to intervene in the ques-

mer Lithuanian city of wilma, which
the Kovno government claims Poland

Lthuania today sent an appeal for
the Council to act under article NJ Of
the League convenant. which permits
Council intervention when any League
member sees peace endangered. Re-
Gently Lithuania sent complaint to
the League concerning the Wilma
school question, but today's action,
in the opinion of League circles, gives
tho matter a more serious turn.
Since the occupation OF Wilma by
Poles Lithuania has claimed that a
state of war exists with Poland and
has declined to arrange diplomatic
relations with that country. 1t is be-
lieved here that the school dispute
