The resolution declares that after

mandatory government, the Congress
declare that contrary to paragraph
l5, of the Premier'S letter. which states
that. the primary purpose of any de-
velopment scheme was the settlement
both of Jews and displaced Arabs
upon the land. the tendency became
manifested in handling the land de-
velopment scheme to subordinate the
interest of Jewish agricultural settle
ment in respect to the ALLEGATION of the
loan.
The congress therefore declared
that the land development scheme
projected by the government can re-
ceive the Jewish agency'S support only
il it is based on the principle of abso-
lutte equality of the Jewish and Arab
shares in the benefits of the scheme
and the principle of simultaneity of its

The Alaska fisherman., 1931-03-15

If the pending treaty is not ratified, Canada will permit unlimited fishing in the waters to the northWard. British Columbia newspapers already have indicated what the future policy will be if American cooperation is refused With rapacious interests striving to outdo each other, we may as well say goodbye now to the sockeye salmon The Legislature may we'll take acticn to offset the ill-advised course of the governor and senators.- Seattle Times.
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-03-15
THE CANADIAN SYSTEM

Tn other words, the British Columbia Gov- ernment is empowered to and does restrict the operation of canneres"
 Certainly and it is because of the restrictory regulations that the Canadian fisheries is on a healthier basis than is the canning industry in Alaska. The Canadians recognize the fact that the mere canneries in operation, the more gear will be put in the water with the resultant greater catch of seed fish. Conservation measures are set forth for the protection of the salmon and not for the protection of the vested interests. Common sense will tell even "arm chair Scientist" that the more salmon caught and destroyed by any gear means the depletion that much sooner of the salmon fisheries

WHAT ROT!

Tt is natural for white man to try to pro- gress; it is not so with the average native. They have always been content to carry on like their forefathers and perhaps after all, they get more out of life from their way of thinking "-Seword Gateway
 We do not know where the editor of the Gate way learned anything about sociology or psycho- logy. We do insist that if the above paragraph is all he knows about the characteristics and deve- opment of the Alaskan Indian he does not know or understand the first thing about the human race.
 In our contact with every conceivable kind of race of people in travels throughout the United States and Canada, we have not found that the good Lord has endowed any single race of people with intelligence character and phy- scal makeup, different from other races except for color.
 simple glance into the history of the Cau- casian race is proof of the statement. It has taken the white thousands of years to reach the stage of civilization where it now stands And what civilization. During the World War; an old ignorant, illiterate" Indian said to the writer ''There is christian civilization Christianity is but the cloak of sham which covers the savage heart and instincts of man. There is no such thing christian civilization" And in spite of all of it's veneer of christianity and civilization his- tory will not permit denial of this charge.
 Heredity and Environment
 The Indian people are condemned by blindly prejudiced minds to remain in the stagnant pools of heredity. Ignorance of the progress of these people condemns them to peaceful acceptance of an environment of ignorance and superstition But as matter of fact, the environment of these people has been changed during the past few years by force of the activity of the Alaska Na- tive Brotherhood. Home conditions have been bet- tered and school opportunity improved in every

Which bellies the statement that they content to remain in an environment, of ignorance and superstition with their attendant evils
 In every town point to men in bus- neS~, to men of stability and character who place the editor of the Gateway in the category of the Annanias Club We invite MT. lesson to make a trip through the First Division where the Indian has had opportunity even cO-equal with other races-and will point out to him men who decent, respectable citizens. Men in com munities which require commissioners of the spect of the law by fear
 The racial segregation of these people, in Alaska and in the states, has been the cause of delay in rapid assimilation of 'White- man's' education Our government has purposely retarded this progress in order to feed big pol- tical machine which has been a millstone about the neck of the Indian race retarding his every progress
 It will be well that Mr. lesson look into the development of these people which in but few short years has brought forth, in spite of handi- cops many worthy citizens
 And in comparison, in spite of the many schools and colleges it might be we'll that he look into the statistics showing the number of Hitter ates and ignorant people, other than Indians which exists in the United States And then con- demn those people for being "content to carry on like their forefathers
