IF cannery vessels Of foreign ma
tions should undertake to fish in
the extra territorial waters of Ber-
ing Sea, intercepting the runs on
which the American industry now
draws, additional drastic regulations
would have to be imposed within
territorial waters in order TO MAIN
tain the runs. If the offshore fish
cry we're particularly effective, such
regulations in territorial waters
might be entirely inadequate to pro-
tect the salmon runs. In any event,
there probably would be diminu-
ton of the abundance Of salmon in
Bristol Bay within the space of
one life cycle of years.

tives sought to be accomplished by
this bill
ut is possible that the exercise of
Jurisdiction beyond the territorial
waters as contemplated by this bill,
in the absence of a treaty with the
countries whose nationals might be
affected, might result in interna-
tional complications This, how
ever, is a matter which it is assumed
will be given consideration by the
Department of State in its report
on the bill. If not Objectionable on
this ground, favorable report on
this bill is recommended"
1t will be observed that the De-
partments of Commerce, Treasury
and Justice all united in the view
that the matter is one for consid-
Grafton by the Department of State
Up to the present time, however, no
report on the bill has been received
from the Secretary of State. 1t is
possible that the Secretary has
awaited the return of his special
representative, who visited Bristol
Bay this summer, before making his
report.
1t has been difficult to make some
of the officials here see the serious
ness of the situation. In fact it is
likely that no action at all would
have been taken except for the
uproar. made by some of us who
know the conditions. l have con-
tinuously urged that the time to

Many people are under the inn
preston that there is a rigid three
mile limit from shore beyond which
no nation has any right to exercise
jurisdiction under any Circumstance

true doctrine is that every nation
has the right to exercise jurisdic-
ton on the seas more than three
miles from shore if necessary to
protect its customs or its fisheries
or for reasons of national defense.

would not support peace.
Then there's the, further item of
some $250,00O,000 worth of goods
that Americans sell China and ia
pan each year. Those two nations
are our good customers, and you
can't slap good customers in the face
without good reason.
The President might also ask
himself:
Wouldn't it be a bit out of char
acter for the traditonaily shrewd

so much as thumbing his nose at

1. mon Taken Up by

CONTINUED from Page One)

1.-The proposal relates to matters
affecting international relations,
and at the suggestion of the State
Department I recommend that the
legislation should not be enacted at
this time"
The report from the Treasury De-
partment suggests that the estab-
lishment of enforcement areas as
contemplated by the bill may re-
suit in international complications.
The relevant portions of the report
follow:
There are in the Departments
files reports from Coast Guard yes
sells showing the presence of Japan
csc vessels carrying ON salmon-fish-
ing operations in the waters ada
cent to the coast of Alaska but out
side the territorial waters of the
United States. The Department,
however has no knowledge of the
extent to which the salmon fishery
is being, or may be, depleted by fish
ing operations carried on in the
waters adjacent to the coast of Al
aska.
There is a possibility that the
establishment of enforcement areas
outside of the territorial waters of
the United States, as contemplated
by the bill, may result in interna-
tional complications, The problems,
however, which may arise in this
connection appear to be appropri-
ate for the consideration of the De-
partments of Justice and State. This
Department is, therefore, unable to
advise you as to the merits of the
proposed legislation.
at is the opinion of the Depart
ment that the Customs Service and
the Coast Guard would be appro-
PIRATE agencies for enforcing this
or a similar measure if it is de-
termined to enact such a bill. In
the event consideration is to be
given by the committee to this or
a similar bill. the Department de-
sires to present certain suggestions
of technical character related to
the enforcement of its provisions"
The most extensive report on the
bill comes from the Department of
Commerce and embraces a memoir
andum of the Commissioner of
Fisheries, which has been approved
by the Department. That memoir
andum is as follows:
THE bill CHR. 1852 declares that
salmon which are spawned and
Matched in the waters of Alaska are
the property of the United States,
and if enacted into law would make
it unlawful for any person, firm, or
corporation to fish for, take, or
catch such salmon in waters ada
cent to the coast of Alaska, except

under regulations issued by the Sec
rotary of Commerce. This bill fur
Their provides, for the enforcement
of these provisions, that jurisdiction
of the United States over the waters
adjacent to the coast of Alaska shall
extend in all cases outward for
distance of leagues approximately
IL statute niles, and in addition
to all waters of Boring Sea east of
the international boundary having
a depah of less than 100 fathoms,
provided that such waters have
been declared to be salmon fishery
law enforcement areas by the Presi-
dent
"Other sections of the bill provide
for the enforcement by the officers
of the Coast Guard, Bureau of Gus
toms, Bureau of Fisheries, and De-
partment of Justice; provide penal
ties; and provide the method by
which claims against foreign gov
ernments, resulting from violations,
may be satisfied.
Beginning in 1880, and in the
six seasons since then, operations
have been conducted by japanese
floating canneries on the high seas
off the Boring Sea coast of Al
aska, particularly in Bristol Bay.
From one to four floating plants,
together with their auxiliary yes
sells, have been engaged each year,
and although operations have been
confined almost exclusively to crab
fishing and canning, one vessel also
has operated as reduction plant,
manufacturing fish meal. Last year
the japanese Government announc-
ed its intention of carrying on a
3year study concerning the routes
of migration and availability of
salmon in eXtraterritorial waters of
Boring Sea. That study commenced
in 1886 and is being continued this
year. The japanese Government has
assured the United States that no
licenses would be issued for floating
salmon canneries to be operated off
the Alaskan coast until completion
of these studies in 1890
IF the studies now under way by
the Japanese Government in Boring
Sea indicate that salmon canning
operations can be successfully car
ried on there, established American
interests would be jeopardized not
only by japanese fishermen but also
by fishery interests of other coun-
tries seeking new waters to exploit.
1t is estimated that more than 500
100000 is invested in the plants and
equipment now in use in Bristol Bay.
The products of the salmon fishery
in that locality have a manufactured
value of about $12,000000 annually;
employment is furnished to more
than 1000 cannery workers and
fishermen.
Salmon fishing in Bristol Bay is
limited by Federal laws and regula-
lions SO that there will be a suffici-
ent escapement of salmon for breed
ing purposes, thus assuring perpetu-
alton of the runs from year to wear
At the present time, the fishing
season in Bristol Bay extends onls
from June Is to July Is, and dur
ing that season there are weekly
closed periods as long as "a hours.
Fishing is restricted to Empowered
open boats, and only gill nets not
exceeding $50 fathoms may be used /;
furthermore, there is careful check
made of the fishing intensity and
if operations increase beyond Ger

1t simply says Americans can have
no interest in contraband goods
going to a warning nation. Such a
nation must send her own ships to
the United States, buy outright the
goods she wants, and then carry
them off.
That's really a necessary joker
in the neutrality law. Every impair
tial student of international law
recognizes that no neutrality law
could ever be 100 per cent satisfac-
tory. AS a matter of fact, any neu-
trality legislation has two newt
able defects:
/. 1t is bound to help one war
ring nation at the expense of an
other. The reason is that the pre-
pared nation may not need any
help, whereas the less prepared
country may want to buy its food
munitions and a thousand other
things in the world market. Any
neutrality laws that put up barriers
to trade would handicap the less
prepared nation.
2. No neutrality bill can, as a
matter of common sense, absolute
~ guarantee to keep a nation out
of war, and at the same time main
tain that nations rights as neu-
trail and its self-respect in the fam
lily of nations. The issue here, for
instance, is this: Wouldn't is be
cowardly for the United States to
abandon foreign trade and its rights
as a neutral in free seas just be-
cause there would be possibility
of getting into war So far, the
answer has been yes"
In addition, the Roosevelt adj
ministration therefore has commit
ted itself TO general policy in
this neutrality business.
A Double Purpose
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
puts it this way:
"Our policy, as member OF the
community of nations, should be
two-fold = first, to avoid being
brought into war (and that's where
the neutrality law comes i'm, and,
second, to promote as far as pos
sible the interests of international
peace and good viii"
And in that statement lies the
kernel of the nut the President
must crack before applying the neu-
trality law to Sino-Japanesee war
fare. He must ask himself this
question:
IF l should decide a war ac-
tually exists in the Orient, would
] be keeping the United States out
of war, and at the same time pro-
noting peace, by invoking the neu-
trality laW?"
