- You haven't got any right here. These
are the hotels swings and slides, and we live
at the hotel and you don't! You 90 on back
to wherever you came from! You, and those
awful old clothes of yours"
The little girl continued to weep, knucklinp
grimy fists into her eyes, She drew first one
coat sleeve and then the other across her thin
cheeks. The sleeves of such a coati 1t was
short at the wrists; it was too narrow across
the shoulders; its pleat ran crafty off at
slant down the back; it was 50 obviously
homemade that it shouted the fact. And the
color was one of those terrible off-color pur-
pies, compounded out of bad dye, sunbleach
and CRIME.
The four little shouters pointed fingers
at her. Yah! You 60 on back where you came
from over there beyond that lake. We
don't want you around here. You and your
awful coat" Having dismissed the pariah, the
four shouters animatedly began to play on
the hotel swings and slides.
The little pariah started slowly backing
away across the great hotel lawn, in stumbling
retreat. She tripped over something, sprawled,
started to get hastily to her feet, and found
mans hand lifting her up.
That's all right, youngster. l shouldn't

run off. He still retained his hold on her
arm. You know, was just looking for some
body to talk to-" She hesitated, looking at
him. In fact, he went on, maybe somebody
to have ice cream with. never like to eat
ice cream alone"
The little girl gulped back her tears and

which was cut in longish STYLE He had

Into the mans vision there came from the
direction of the hotel, three well-groomed
women, one of whom was snug -jacketed in the

companions. Its my dears it's

asked.

The HaIibxt Commission Its Legal Powers ond Functions
 By EDWARD w. ALLEN

the particular banks where it is needed most. It cannot be effective where needed if the production ca paeity of one bank or area is different from that of other banks or areas unless the limit can be made different for such banks. Ii ! the fish move freely from one area to another it would be right to place one limit on all areas. But if each area had it's own stock Of fish it would be necessary to bal ance the catch each year against the power of that stock to re- produce itself The commission was therefore required to determine whether the halibut moved freely or not, and was given the power to regulate by area.
 Regulation by Area
 Needless to say, the commission did not welcome the necessity of regulating by area. It would have been far simpler to regulate for the whole coast at once. But the scientific results have shown clear ly that this cannot be done. There is no need to review here the extensive scientific work of the commission. The evidence is pub lished in detail in it's reports. It has been reviewed many times in public hearings, and in articles published in trade periodicals and newspapers. Only the most determ- ined obstinacy can ignore it. It is only common sense that if you have separate stock of fish on separate banks they must be kept track of separately. They may or may not require different treat ment. But the facts as to each stock must be separately obtained in order to determine what regula- tion is necessary.
 Four Powers
 There are four other powers or duties given the commission. One allows the size and character of halibut fishing appliances to be fixed in any area. This has all ready been done with very limited effect Another allows the com mission to close nursery" areas. This has also been one, but the areas which can thus be closed are small in extent. The third power enables the commission to collect the statistics necessary to determine
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-11-04

the total annual yield from 65 mil lion pounds down to 22 million in Area 2 has been stopped It is only matter of the time neces- sary to allow the increased young to reach marketable size before the annual yield can be again increas- ed. The supply of fish on the grounds is being restored. And all this is being done without cutting down the quantity of fish which the fishermen are allowed to catch They have been getting as much poundage each year under the regu- lations as they were when the commission took charge. This is very much more than they would be getting if the commission had not taken charge With the SUD- port of the industry the commission can continue to improve the con- dition of the banks and at the proper time allow the amount catch to be increased. The con- tinuance Of the halibut industry, particularly in the southern wat CTS, depends upon the commissions being permitted to continue its work. That the commission has been successful is not open to ques- tion. It deserves the support of all good citizens in order that the good work may go on for the benefit of both the industry and the public.

The International Fisheries Com mission is often called the Halibut Commission because it has to do only with halibut It was estab- lished by a treaty of 1924 between Canada and the United States and continued by new treaty of 1880.
 Il is important that the very limited powers of the commission be understood. The commission does not have any powers of law en- forcement. It can only make in vestigations and adopt regulations. Even it's power to adopt regulation is limited to specific fields. En- forcement of the regulations is left to the regular law officers of each country. But the regulations of the commission which are within it's powers have the same force as the laws of each country.
 Power to Regulate
 The commission has power to regulate for the purposes Of pro- tecting and conserving the halibut fishery" This does not authorize any action for economic ends. The commission can and does try to make it's regulations interfere as little as possible with the economic conduct of the industry. But the commission has no power to deal with commercial purposes. It can only protect and conserve.
 The most important power is that of limiting the catch of hali- but which can be taken from an area. This power is stated in two ways in the treaty; first, as the power to change the length of the closed season; and second, as the power to set a limit to the catch. These reach the same end because the length of the fishing ason determines the amount which can be taken. The intent was to see that the commission had the power to do the one essential thing; namely, to limit the catch to the amount which the banks can produce without damage to the future supply and which will allow sufficient reproduction to take place.
 Important Power
 This is the most important pow CT which the commission has. It is necessary that it be applied in such a way as to be effective on
