DOES CRITICISM HELP?
 Ketchikan Chronicle

It is unfortunate that so often the Alaskan plea for home rule takes the form of bitter critic : ism of the bureau of fisheries. the forest service or any other federal agency that operates in the Territory. Once it was definitely shown that Alaskans almost unanimously desired the retention of the present (cable) system, the matter (of selling it. was dropped"
 We do not understand how contemporary editors classify the U. s. Signal Corps with the federal bureaus, which h e multiplied like the lice in Egypt, in Alaska. The cable system, sale of which was advocated by the interdepartmental bureau, is a part of the war equipment of the
 U. s. War Department and not subject to the political bureaus in the territory. A casual study O1 the gross income will show AlaSkanS that several stations in
 the territory do not even pay the wages of the men employed that the great burden of tolls is not paid as they represent inter departmental messages. There has been no criticism of the management of the signal corps and that army function has CO., operated with the people of the territory, remaining outside of territorial politics.
 There is ample cause of critic ism of the several bureaus. When any bureau functions fairly and
 lmpartially, it receives full CO., operation from all sources. When any bureau assumes extra legal functions without authority and by it's ruling discriminate against
 AlaskanS, it may well expect to
 have the wrath of Alaskans de- scend upon it's heads. When the Leople become so subservient as to cover like cringing CUTS when the bureauheads crack their political whips, it is time they got out of the territory. When the several bureaus assume the attitude that they are above criticism and that the citizens of Alaska are presumptious in criticising the bureaus they are assuming the attitude of dicta- tors, czars and kings. So long as cur nation remains a republic 1t is the right of American citizens to demand that their rights and prerogatives be left untrammell- ed. If the mouths of Alaskans would be closed from criticism. the bureaus should undertake to perform their duties honestly for the good of" the territory without discrimination toward the people. In no other way can this criticism be stopped.

CANADA MAY LIFT RESTRICTIONS ON
 FRASER FISHING

-X-----
 Refusal on the part of the United States Senate to further consider the proposed sockeye salmon treaty negotiated after five years of conferences be- tween this government and the Dominion of Canada for the preservation of these fisheries, may result in Canada removing all further fishing restrictions Cn the Fraser River spawning beds.
 Complete obliteration of the sockeye in the Fraser and a scientific building of new spawning beds in more Northern Canadian waters is planned by the joint fisheries boards of the Dominion of Canada and the Province of British Columbia, Associated Press dispatches from Victoria announce. The proposal by the British Columbia fisheries interests is that eggs be remov- ed from the Fraser spawning grounds to other Canadian wa ters further north, so that in the future fish reared here will re- turn direct to the beds without passing through Puget Sound and Washington State waters.
 The Canadian plan is in this V'ay to develop new sockeye spawning grounds, to replace fraser River losses and inciden- tally stop sockeyes from passing into this state which in the past has taken the major share of the sockeye pack, the salmon Icing trapped or seined while passing through the lower reaches of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
 Treaty's Provisions
 The treaty now pending in the Senate was negotiated for the purpose of conserving the sock eye, the pack of which in this slate is estimated to reach $4,- 100000 annually in value. To this end the treaty provided for a joint commission with broad powers to control not only the gear to be used, open fishing seasons, but would have super vision over the waters at the entrance to the straits. The two governments would maintain under the treaty salmon hat cherries on the Fraser, and would limit the catches so that the in dustry of both nations would take the same number of cases yearly.
 
 Gov. Roland H. Hartley led the opposition to the treaty when it was submitted and the Senate refused consideration of it be- cause the chief executive of Washington, the only state vii tally interested, was opposed to the measure. Recent efforts to bring the treaty out of commit ice failed at Washington, and the Canadian interests now are preparing to carry out threat made when the treaty was first ratified at Ottawa, that if the United States rejected it or fail ed to ratify, there would be no further negotiations and Cana da would stop it's efforts to per- petuate the Fraser fisheries.
 Nh Official Word Charles R. Maybury, director oi fisheries for the state, de- clared he has received no official word of contemplated action by Canada. The proposal to remove Fraser River restrictions and to move the spawning grounds to more Northern waters, he be- lieves, would be a large task, isnd take many years.
 The sockeye run on Puget Sound is the most valuable pack. in these waters.

DEBAYLE URGES

Pan-AmericaniSm may have

to DR.. Luis M. Debayle, Charge
d'Affaires of Nicaragua, here. in
his address as The Times Weekly
Radio Treat over station VOL
yesterday. He said:
The doctrine. of Pan-Ameri-
CaniSm has come into the world

Of these two continents, richly
endowed with all essential re-

tory and traditions of early eX-
plOratiOn and pioneering, it is
inevitable that they should find
common needs and interests
facing the rest of the world.
This pioneering spirit, which
developed when the settlers of
both continents found them
selves confronting the difficult
ties and har6ShipS of the wilder
ness, has evidenced itself all
over the hemisphere in the
eagernesS with which new ideas
have been tried and embraced.
'T believe that in Pan-Ameri-
CaniSm lie the cure for many
of the evils of today. Lack of
cooperate n between nations,

which it is impossible to view
and comprehend the difficult
ties that beset each other, has

ITALY BACKING
u. S. PLAN AT
ARMS FARLEY
Grandi Attacks French Pro-

Army for League.

b. United Prcss
GENEVA, April 13.-Dino Grand,
italian foreign minister, gave i'm
mediate approval to the United
States disarmament proposals today,
and outlined the Italian program
for progressive destruction of the
worlds ornaments.
Grand attacked the French plan
for international-ar armed forces to
be placed at the disposal of the
League of Nations. He outlined
the Italian plan to the general
commission of the disarmament
conference as follows:
Division of all cannons and num-
tons into three groups, with inn
mediate destruction of the heaviest
calibers and progressive destruc-
ton of the other groups.
Application Of the same principle
TO tanks.
Each nation, before the end Of
each year, shall destroy a stipu-
lated percentage, by categories, Of
its total naval tonnage.
Abolition of bombing planes by
fixing a percentage to be destroyed
annually.
Immediate destruction of all
supplies of chemical gases.
The Italian proposals would abol-
ish all weapons, including tanks,
which France wished to place in the
service of the league.
Turkish and Brazilian delegates
Endorsed the American proposals.
