OPEN DOOR POLICY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25.- The Administration is watching foreign expressions resulting from Secretary Stimson's letter to Sena- tor Borah stating the United States stands behind the Open Door Pol icy in China and disputing the Japanese claims the Nine Power Treaty should be revised.
 Tn eSeeretary of State said ob- servance of treaties would have avoided the present situation. The Nine Power Treaty was enacted to permit China to develop free institutions and the Powers realized it would take a long time for this to be accomplished.
 The communication was sent Borah and is taken to represent the stand of the United States when a showdown comes in the Sino-Japanese situation and also puts Japan on notice that the United States considers Japan is in China in violation of the treaty and will not recognize any settle l. ment growing out of Japan's de- nlands.

WOOD PLANS TO LAUNCH SHRIMP, i, CRAB INDUSTRY
Wellknown Fisherman An nounces Plans for New
 Industry in Juneau

The establishment of new ln- dustIy here employing at the outset 15 workers in the immediate future was announced today by Capt. O. H. Wood, wellknown local fisher man and owner of the schooner Valkyrie. He has just returned from Seattle and made known his plans for opening a shrimp and crab canning plant in this city.
 In Seattle, Capt. Wood found a ready market for all of the fresh shrimp he can produce. He also obtained a contract for crab meat up to 600 pounds each week
 Iwil purchase all the shrimps mad crab meat offered, and as and era bmeat offered, and as there is ample supply of both of these fish in nearby waters, I am confident I will have no difficulty in building up a substantial in- dustry here,p said Capt. Wood. 'For the present I will put IS pickers to work, and am sure that the number of employees will be in- creased steadily. All local people will be given preference"
 Temporary quarters for the plant will be established on the harbor on a barge that Capt Wood has purchased. Arrangements for a permanent shore plant here will be made later as the output in- creases to proportions that will jus tify the expansion. Equipment for crab traps and cans were bought in Seattle and arrived here yester- day. Both products will be packed in one and five-pound tins.
 Capt. Wood recently started a floating clam cannery and made the trip to Seattle in an effort to locate a wholesale market for canned clans. He found a moder- ate demand for minced butter clans and will continue to pack that product. The butter clans were too large to suit the trade requirements.
