Foreseeing an economic crisis for Eu-
rope next September, when Germany
will be asked to pay about $625, 600. 600

Representative Berger, Socialist Wis.,
consin, has prepared resolution asking
President Coolidge to call an interna-
tional conference in Washington to re-
wise the terms CT the reparation agree
ment and the Versailles treaty.
The September ] payment due from
Germany, Berger said, would subject
the Dawes plan to its first test. A most
superficial study" he added, would

to meet the 1926. 900 900 obligation.
ut will be the first test" he ex-
planned, because the money that Ger
many has paid each year since the
Dawes plan became effective was paid
out of loans made by Germany in for

This obviously cannot go on for
ever" he said. Germany cannot go OH

and the full participation by Alaska in the benefits of the national ap- prOpriations for aid of highway construction.
 We favor liberal appropriations for the improvement of harbors and waterways of Alaska
 ''The progress of Alaska depends upon the development and utiliza- tiOn of the natural resources of the Territory. The Democratic party of the First Division welcomes the in- coming of capital for that purpose and rejoices at the prospect of se. curing two or more large pulp and paper manufacturing plants and oth- CT industries in their section, and assures the sponsors of these pro- jects of their cooperation in all legitimate ways to insure the suc- ce5sful and profitable operation of the same. ."-Ketchika Chronicle.

THE A. N. B. CONVENTION
(From The VerstOvian)

(FrOm The VerStOVlan)
 From all reports the recent con- vention of the Alaska Native Broth erhood at Angoon was one of the most satisfactory and fruitful which has yet been held. It was largely at tended by the leaders in native thought and was conducted in an orderly businesslike way. The dis cussions will be a norm of native thought and action for the coming, year.
 Representative from the Bureau of Education, Board of National Mis- sions and Sheldon Jackson School were present and were freely admit ted to all sessions with the privilege of the floor. It is to be regretted that the isolation of the meeting place prevented the presence of some of the invited guests. This is es- pecially applicable to such govern ment officials as represent matters of vital importance to the natives. Not presuming beyond generalities, we are sure that the path to ad- justment of this new factor in Alas kan politics is the road of advice, sympathy and cooperation. The at- titude of the Angoon convention, as
The Alaska fisherman., 1928-01-15

was very little he could add to what the other speakers had said. He thought it most important that the Democrats make preparations for sending delegates to the national Democratic convention. He recall ed that MT. Troy and himself had attended the past two national Democratic conventions. They had met Al Smith and the speaker de- clared MT. Smith was man of mag netic personality. The speaker said he had a hunch Al Smith would be elected. He said i've voted for him in 1924" and declared that if Smith was elected Alaska would be accord ed full measure of self government.
 Others Give Talk
 Jim Virdin when called upon said that he was no speaker but that he would be found on the fir ing line every minute of the time
 Ed Austin declared that he was certain that fully 50 per cent of the so-called Indian vote could be se- cured by treating the natives the same as any other American citi. zens and showing them wherein the Democratic platform was sound in principle and that the right kind of men would be sent to the legislature to promote the best interests Of Alaska. He said he knew the natives personally and that they were in- telligent and fully capable of as- suming the burdens of self govern ment.
 The Platform
 Following is the platform ad- opted:
 "The Democratic party of tho First Division of the Territory of Alaska, in convention assembled, re- af1rms it's allegiance to the historic Democratic party of the nation and congratulates the people of Alaska upon the promising prospect of it's return to power in the country.
 I've condemn the existing Repub-
The Alaska fisherman., 1928-01-15

late, regulate or prohibit. The re- suit has been disastrous both to ini dividuals and corporations engaged in the industry and to communities depending upon it for their prosper ity. We earnestly recommend that all jurisdiction over the fisheries of Al. aska be transferred from the fed eral government to the legislature of Alaska. The present attempted regulation is inefficient, unintell.- gent and results in gross injustice and favoritism.
 I've recognize that the future development of the Territory de- pends upon acquiring a permanent population and believe that the Ter ritorial control of all resources would build up a large and desirable citizenry.
 We recognize that the conserva- tion of herring is vital to the hal. ibut and salmon industries and WE are opposed to the wanton destruc- tion of the herring supply.
 "We look forward to statehood for Alaska in the near future. Pre- paratory to statehood, the Territory should be accorded the fullest meas ure of territorial self-government including control of the fisheries and game and the power of county or ganization wherever desirable, and representation in the legislature ac- cording to population.
 We believe in home rule for AL aska and to that end we not only favor a full territorial form of gov ernment, but we believe that all federal offices in, the Territory should be filled through the appointment of bona fide resident Alaskans. We believe in the fullest exercisA of the jurisdiction now vested in the Alaska legislature and that all matters not of purely federal con- cern should be administered by the Territory without the assistance o. federal officials, boards or bureaus
