The Alaska fisherman., 1929-10-15
Statement of Mr. H. E. L0kker Representing Fishing Vessels
 Association, Seattle

MT. Lokken. The Association that I represent consists of the halibut fishing vessel owners of the Pacific Coast, and I am here to say that our association is fa- vorable to the present tariff of 2 cents a pound on halibut, but we oppose any change in the pre- sent system whereby our fish is landed at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and then shipped in bond to the United States, free If duty.
 We have been told that repre- sentatives from Ketchikan, Alas ka, were to appear before the committee and ask that duty of 2 cents pound be placed on all American fish that is landed in a foreign port and then ship ped into the United States.
 This proposal, if accepted by the committee and if passed, will be ruinous to the halibut fleet. At the present time the halibut banks, where the fish are caught are located 700 miles from Prince Rupert and we must take advantage of the facilities offered in Prince Rupert in ship ping our fish into the United States.
 The Ketchikan men propose that the halibut shall be landed at Ketchikan instead of at Prince Rupert. But if it is land- ed at Ketchikan, it will have to be shipped from Ketchikan to Prince Rupert and unloaded at Prince Rupert again and placed in the refrigerator cars and then shipped into the United States. It means additional handling. It will mean a lesser price paid to the fishermen.
 At the present time the house. wife is paying 8 price for hail.
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-10-15

-X-
 but that is so high that she would not care to pay any more. Thirty-fve cents pound is be- ing paid for halibut right here in Washington, and rather than pay any more, the housewife would turn to some other kind of fish to some other product....
 Because of the dangerous character of water between Ket- chikan and Prince Rupert, ade- quate transportation facilities between the two ports is not feasible.
 The fish if shipped in the manner that Ketchikan men propose would be inferior to the product that is now being sold. The 700-mile journey that the halibut fisherman has to take from the Banks to Prince Rupert is about all that the fish can stand, and if the fish were un- loaded at Ketchikan, they would be boxed at Ketchikan and transferred from cold storage, or the place where the fish is boxed to a fishing steamer and would be exposed to the warm air and would result in deterioration.
 Then, after the 90-mile journ- cy to Prince Rupert, the fish would again be exposed to the air in the process of taking them from the refrigerator steamer to the railroad car, and this addi- tional handling would so deteri- crate the fish that they would not receive the price paid for the fish from other localities.
 If the proposed change is granted, it would increase the competition of Canadian and Japanese fish.
 At the present time the Amer :can halibut fleet lands approxi- mately 44,000. 900 pounds of hail.
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-10-15

out per year and the Canadian halibut fishermen land about g. 100000 pounds a year.
 If this measure is allowed to go through, it will mean that the halibut fishermen will receive less for their fish, and some of them will be forced to suspend operations; they will not be able to operate, and as a result, the Canadian fleet will increase.
 At the present time we are wit messing the entry of Japan into the fish markets of the United States. They have extensive banks along their coasts, and in the last 2 years have shipped their product into this country in a frozen state. Any curtail- ment of operations of the halibut fleet of the United States will result in much more Japanese halibut coming in. At present our fleet investment is over $1,- 50O,OOO.
