Ultimately some definite action will be taker toward protecting Alaska fishing banks from foregr invasion as sentiment continues to grow toward tha end For long time the voice of Alaskans in protes against the floating canneries of other nations righ on our door step has been but small one in the wilderness but during the last year the cudgel has taken up by potent forces the Outside lending weight to the appeal for action,

 MT Dimond points out that the doctrine of the three-mile limit relied upon by the invading fishermen was based upon the range of an antique cannon and is now obso ete
 He cites John Marshall, greatest of Ameri- can juriss,1 as establishing, more than 100 '-i years ago, the principle that our nation may secure itself from injury beyond the limits of its territory.
 Finally MT. Dlmond points out that the continental shelf, where the Japanese fisher have chosen to intercept Alaska salmon, is in fact merely continuation of our man- land MT. Dimond adds
 Just the of a domicile has the right to eject trespassers from his doorstep so I suggest in logic and reason nation may justly exercise jurisdiction its fisheries up to the edge of the continental shelf.

 Senator Lewis B. Scnwellenba h two months ago discussed the problem and pos sible remedies at length before the United States senate, and has been active in his rep resentations to the state department.

 This would mean, within few years, the
 end of Alaska fisheries.
 The nation must recognize the threat that
 exists and must give its support to the battle

One of the best things the whole House and the Senate can do right now, before summer adjournment, is to that bill through to final passage If Alaska sal million cases of them last worth anything at all, they are worth protection.

Ten Years After
(New York World Telegram

He ran into storm of snow and seet
 at 10 feet and 10000 feet and was unable to
 get around it. He thought of turning back
 but decided there many perils behind
 ahead"
 That was ten years ago. Perhaps it well for the young man. alone in the cockpit of the silver monoplane, that he only the sleet and the snow, only the immediate hazards of the storm, and could not see what waited far beyond them.
 For he might have turned back. He might have retraced his course to safety and obscurity and watched other pilot start and win the race he almost-but not qute-had dared to win.
 And then he never would have circled down from the darkness of a May night to the wild welcome at Ie Bourget Field in Paris He never would have come home shy embarrassed hero, to be worshiped like a youthful god and almost overwhelmed with honors and riches He never would have been sent, winged Ambassador of Good Will, to visit other lands. He never would have met and married the daughter Of Dwight Morrow. But also, he never would have sui fered the cruel kindness which we Americans heap upon our temporary idols He never would have known the terror of that other dark night when his first born son was kidnapped and murdered in the Sourland Hills the long anguish Of the weeks and months that followed He never would have found 1t necessary to become exile seeking security and peace for those he loves.
 Surely it is well for that the young aviator did not know all that lay before he bated in the storm beyond Newfoundland For he flew on to find fame and sorrow-and he met them both bravey and with dignity America is richer by the inspiration Of a fine example of courage because Lindbergh did not turn back ten years ago.
