AN INTELLIGENT APPROACH

The complete cooperation of government agen- les and the fishing industry in attacking the prob lem of reported foreign invasion of Alaskan fisheries bodes well for satisfactory settlement It reveals that the American side of the question is one of unity All those interested in the industryhe operators, fishermen the Bureau of Fisheries the State Depart ment and other interested parties-are working to- gether toward a common end. When the State De- partment which has the leadership prepares its case and presents it to the Japanese which the reported offenders it will be the complete case of the Alaskan fishing industry and it will carry the weight of solidity the problem.
 That there is complete cooperation is revealed from all and is confirmed in the statement of Loo D Sturgeon representative of the State Depart nent who has been on the ground. In The Empire yesterday MT. Sturgeon said:
 We have had the full cooperation of the in- dustry the operators, the Bureau of Fisheries the fishermen and every connected with the industry and it is of great help in arriving at true picture of the situation. They have turned over to us all the information available and with such cooperation we are being able arrive at intelligent approach
 Certainly it is intelligent approach and it is the kind of solidifed approach which promises to carry the force necessary to the solution of such ticklish problem If the industry and the government agencies working at purposes, the result probably would be antagonism the part of tf, very people with whom the State Department must do business. But with cooperation in common cause as reflected definite progress toward the desired end is attained.
 This united effort coupled with the attitude of the State Department to the matter through to satisfactory solution, lends brighter aspect to the entire fishing invasion picture.
 No vital national industry such this one is to be sacrificed to foreign interests" the state ment of the State Department official
 Such language is sufficient assurance that this is to be perfunctory affair, but rather thorough intelligent and complete attack of international problem which must be solved if to have peace along the Alaskan fishing banks.
 The best that any of do is to lend wholehearted cooperation to the State Depart ment in its efforts

Japan's Demands on China
(New York Times)

(New York Tmes)
 More significant than the sensational clashes be- tween Chinese and Japanese soldiers broken truces followed by renewal of local fighting and the ment of considerable numbers of troops by both sides to the troubled Peping area during the past week are the renewed demands of Japan. These grow with the proongation of the crisis and now include settle ment of the points at issue local basis. accep- of the Japanese terms in full by the local Chin- authorities and permission of the Japanese Army to insure the carrying good faith of the terms agreed to under duress
 The nsStence that the controversy is "local and should be settled by the leaders of the Japanese Army with the Chinese officials the spot and without the intervention of the Ranking Government is familiar device employed by Japan in previous attacks on the territorial unity of China. To require that Chiang Kai-shek now assent to acceptance by local agents of solution tantamount to surrender of political control substantial portion of Chinese soil is demand that the Central Government indict itself as being without national authority. No one acquainted with Japanese strategy in China will fail to understand that Japans nsstence on a local" settlement is aimed at the independence of China
 Recently authoritative sources" in Tokyo let 1t be known that if necessary, force Will be used not ony to settle the local" issue Peiping but to compel showdown long-standing Chino Japanese issues including the right of Japan to out un- trammeled the exploitation of the natural resources of North China. This announcement, if intended merely form of pressure to secure acceptance of less OnerOuS ltSell Ol dSSleSSioi Coupled with the further official declaration that the Japanese Army must remain for long time in North China to continue strictly to watch Chinese actions it is clear indication that the Japanese militarists hold the reins in the Konoe liberal Government

THE w. p. A.
SIGNS OFF

Cessation of W.PA. activities in Impe-
rial county produces conflicting reac-
tions.
Calm reason dictates that the govern
mental service which so capably answer
ed its purpose during depression need, be
done away with now that the national
economic need is passed. 1t is we'll that
the federal government taper off its eX-
pensive and burdensome services as rap
idly as possible.
The W.P.A. served Imperial county
we'll 1t took from relief countless deserV-
ing persons and gave them work to do
in return for the money they received.
It kept mouths fed and returned value
received in the form of county projects
needed and beneficial. The projects built
and maintained were numerous.
That there were but 80 men on local
W.P.A. projects warrants the closing
of the valley office, and bears evidence
that many formerly on extensive rolls
have returned to private employment.
True. every year at this season the num-
Der of WP A. workers here drops to its
lowest ebb. We may expect increased need
later in the year. Those who will need
help may suffer some hardship while
finding their way back to normal en-
ployment. The governmental employ
ment service will be open to these, and
to date has been widely successful in
placing men and women in jobs
W.PA. was not perfectly administer
ed but considering the emergency condi-
tions and the tendency toward waste IN
nationwide governmental organizations,
it was monumentally effective, and sur
prisingly efficient.
Many who view the national situation
from the angle of public good, have
feared that such public agencies as w.
P. A. would be maintained too long.
Offering temptation to some who wish
to live with as little effort as possible,
their continuance would only be an in
ducement to keep such people from enter
ing private employ. For this reason the
curtailment of W.P.A. activities and
other forms of relief, and reducing their
activities to a minimum of human need,
is gratifying.
Some of those who were loudest in
condemnation of the governmental eX-
pense. will be the first to deplore the
absence of the local W.P.A. payrolls.
That is part of the bitter which must
accompany the sweet.
During the coming years, however, we
must remember that a part of the gov
ernment taxes we pay must go to defray
such costs as W.P.A. whereby the depres-
sion was weathered.

Sen. Hugo Black Blind F. r. FoHoW-
er? Hardly :. Roosevelt N0W
Switched to Blacks OUn Ideas Z.

WASHINGTON. - Senator Hugo Black of
Alabama is a loyal, unquestionng tohower ol
the administration and owes his Supreme lp court
appointment largely to his SuoSerVlehce W h'o0'
vet. So goes the patter
The facts are something else again.
And the big outstanding fact of Wnlch per
haps Roosevelt himself isn't aware Is lils1 ~,
four years the President has swung completeiy
around from primary tenets OF his original pon-
tical-econonic philosophy to the pnceS aoVOcat- ,
ed in 1888 by Black. Vital policies which Black
urged then are now among the brlghteSt Jewels
in the New Deal store WINDOW.
Few are aware that Black first voted to
knock out the NRA or code section OF tne Ma
tional Industrial Recovery act, then Vo0eo lor
MIRA when it carried the Borah arti-monopoy
amendment and finally voted against the I'M
ished measure as it came from conference Ioi
reasons which Black explained in long-iorgot-
ten speech In that speech made June Is, 1855
Won will find much of what is sometimes called
now The New New Deal.
BLACK urged a flat Wage-hour bill in which
wage and hour standards would oe declared oy
Congress and enforced by the government ana
in which there would be no trade practlce pro-
visions or sopS to industry.
He predicted collapse of NFA Today Roose-
velt stands behind Blacks bill Wnlch Strictiy
concerns itself with wages and hours
Black argued against an act which would
permit price-fixing and restraint OF production
Roosevelt approved the measure.
Today Roosevelt has declared against price
fixing has taken several steps toward lowering
prices and is searching for a method of obtain
ing the highest possible level of production
with the lowest feasible level of prices.
Black demanded government regulation OF
profits rather than a code system which would
enable manufacturers to establish their own
profit margin, holding that reduction of COM
petition through MIRA would largely end the
competitive system and perhaps destroy it. Roose-
veIt finally has come to the view that excessive
profits must be cut down both by taxation and
suppression of monopoles and other price-fixing
combinations
Black insisted that consumers must be pro-
tected from exploitation by profiteers. Roosevelt
got around to that in his Madison Square Garden
speech last fall and is definitely sold on the
idea.
In general, Black declared years in advance
many of the general principles of the Hopkins
Eccles- -Henderson-Coyle political-economic theory
among whose points selective excess profit
taxation payment of social security costs by
income taxes, drawing off surplus income and
giving it back to the poor" raising mass pur-
chasing power, antitrust prosecutions. The
theory also proposes acting against monopoly and
collusive bidding and volume production at low
prices 1t is this general theory which Roosevelt
privately espouSes today.
