Of the act.
\ X 4
There is a provision for a fair ex-
change allowance to be fixed by the
secretary Of agriculture. It shall be
determined on the basis OF the in
dex numbers for prices as computed
and published by the department Of
agriculture. Exchange value on hog
marketing IS fixed in the act cover
ing certain periods at prices rang
ing from 3,s to cents a pound
Methods OF price revision from time
to time are set forth in the act.
TO further stabilize prices and
carry out the intent OF the act, there
is a set up for adjustment charges
to be collected through the internal
revenue department from professors
OF the commodities the marketing of
which is controlled by the act.
The law contemplates control only
Of the l933-34 marketing period. If
the price situation Is not improved,
due to a restoration Of normal eco
nomic conditions, then the secretary
OF agriculture shall advise the presi-
dent of the United States who is en-
powered to extend the operation of
the act by proclamation.
This, in mere outline, is the Jones
act which will stir up nation wide
discussion during the next few
weeks. 1t is complicated in its terms
and the operation. as the proposed
measure now stands, is cumbersome.
Penalties are provided for violations
of the terms Of the act. Provision
Is made for an appropriation to carry
the act into effect but no sum has
been named. Opponents to the act
declare the allotment plan will be
a costly one to operate while its |
friends contend that there is almost
available suffic c II |
to put the measure into
force upon passage.
1t is an emergency measure and
becomes effective Immediately upon
passage. The Jones act is applicable
to the United States and its possess
sions with the exception of the
Philippine Islands. Virgin Islands,
American Samoa and the Island of
Guam.
Professors Of food, such as the mil
lers and packers, do not take kindly
TO the provisions of the act. It is
referred to derisively as new shot
ln-the-arm' for the American farm
er but is as promptly justified by its
friends as means to make industry |
hum by restoring purchasing power
10 the farmers, representative of the
basic industry of the nation.
Millers, packers, cotton millmen
and tobacco professors warn that if !,
the bill becomes law the food boot
logger is likely to appear.
Fred j. Lingham, representing the
Millers' National Federation, said,
We believe that unless there was !
policeman beside every grinding mill,
there would be bootlegging Of flour"
1t is frankly admitted that this
act. If passed will boost the prices of
pork, bread, clothing. etc. but friends
Of the legislation declare the amount |
will be small in each individual pur-
chase and the aggregate will mean
much to the farmer who is forced to
make purchases in market which
has not been SO completely debated
as his.
Judgment must be deferred until
the act is finally whipped into shape.
but the various phases are of vital
to those engaged in agricul-
ture.

Six Countries Take
Action Against Riots

Military measures this week have
been invoked in four out of six
countries disturbed by rioting or
open revolt and in one of the two,
the Irish Free State, military action
is threatened to quell the political
fighting.
Revolts continue in Spain and AL
war, India, and disturbances which
took a heavy toll of casualties have
occurred in Germany, Argentina
and Cuba. The situation in Argen-
tina continues to remain doubtful
In Ireland fights were broken up
when military guards threatened to
take action.
The Spanish republican govern
ment ordered martial law for prov
inces where further outbreaks have
been attempted. Since Sunday 40
persons have been killed and more
than 100 injured in different parts
of the country.
A total of 1000 British troops
arrived at Alwar, native state in
northern India, where the Moslems
are In revolt. Seven persons were
wounded In five cities In Cuba be-
fore the military took control.

Canneries Urged To
Buy Hire Alaskan

An apparent decision not to &C.
cept too intellectually this year
the usual cannery statement urg
ing support of Alaskan industries.
but rather to impress upon cannery
leaders that the plan must bear
more fruit than it has in the past,
was voiced at the regular meeting
of the chamber of commerce in the
Blue Fox cafe this week, according
to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
Acknowledging that he is leaving
soon for Seattle. ex-senator ]. R.
Hickman told the members that he
is going to devote the winter to do
ing what he can among the can
nerymen to bring more business to
Alaska. 1T is time that the Gamers
realize Alaskan needs" he said. IF
they don't, in time We'll all be
against them"
The brief discussion was started
by letter from H. B. Friele, pres
ident of the Association of Pacific
Fisheries, in which he pointed out
that Gamers are again being urged
to buy Alaskan and to employ Alas
kans wherever possible. He enclosed
bulletins being distributed covering
these subjects. He thanked the
chamber for its support of plans
tending to help the industry and
pointed to the encroachment of can
ned salmon imports from countries
with deprecated currencies as the
most immediate danger to the Alas
kan industry.
The bulletins pointed out that
the need for the Gamers to buy
and employ Alaskan is greater to-
day than for many years and urged
whatever cooperation is possible
to maintain friendly relations with
the people OF Alaska.
]. A. Talbot suggested the pos
sibility OF urging officers of the
Association of Pacific Fisheries to
set an example for other Gamers to
follow. AS a result, 1t was decided
to appoint a committee TO draw up
an acknowledgment to Mr.. Ereie's
letter which will be submitted to
the next meeting of the chamber.

capitol on the form OF the bill. 1t

Fred GunderSOn Joins
Expedition To Study
North Pacific Halibut

Fred Gunderson who has spent
the past three months in Seattle,
left that port shortly before New
Years with a party of scientists
bound for the Gulf of Alaska on an
expedition to study Alaskan halibut
last June from the Fisheries course,
College of Science, at the University
of Washington. He has had practical
experience in the fisheries industry
since a small boy and is well pre-
pared for scientific work. The party
of scientists is composed of ]. L.
Kask of Vancouver, B. c., Lawrence
Townsend and Olaf Erickson of
Seattle and Fred Gunderson of
Wrangell. A Seattle newspaper re-
ported the expedition as follows:
Ivestigation of the early life his
tory of North Pacific halibut is the
object of an expedition of scientists
who yesterday were on their way
from Seattle to the Gulf of Alaska
aboard the schooner Eagle.
The halibut larvae are found at a
depth of from $50 to It's fathoms,
and one of the objects of the ex-
petition will be to determine what
kind of sea water is at that level
and whether the haiibut eggs con-
tinue to float at that depth or come
to the top of he sea.
The currents move faster at the
top than at the bottom of the ocean,
and if the larvae come to the sur
face of the water, they would drift
a long distance.
The investigation will cover the
early life history of halibut from
the time the eggs are laid until the
young fish settle on the bottom and
are carried away by the current.
Halibut Will Be Tagged
Halibut will be tagged and re-
leased in various parts of the Gulf
of Alaska to determine the migra-
ton of the fish. A reward OF 81 will
be paid by the International Fish
cries Commission for each halibut
and return of the tag with informa-
ton as to where the fish was
caught and the date.
Ocean currents, the salinity of
the sea water and its temperature
at various depths. will be investi-
gated. Net hanls of larvae will de-
termine the extent and location of
spawning grounds.
Hundreds of little red bottles,
each containing a card requesting
the finder to mail it to the Inter-
national Fisheries Commission in
Seattle after supplying information
telling where the bottle was found
and the date, will be cast overheard
by the scientists. A reward of 25
cents will be paid for the return of
each of the cards.
Drift With Ocean Currents
The bottles are of special design
and will drift with the ocean cur
rents, dragging small metal
anchor at the end of a six-foot wire.
The anchors will cause the bottles
to drift with the currents beneath
the surface of the water and not be
carried with the wind. The data on
the cards will enable the commits
sion to determine the drift of
young halibut and halibut eggs.
approximately one thousand bottles
will be cast overheard from the
Eagle during the cruise.
The vessel has been chartered by
the International Fisheries Commits
sion from Capt. Jacob H. Engdal,
who will be her master during the
voyage Of exploration and investi-
cation. The expedition will spend
three months in Alaskan waters
