Fisl, Protection Is Urged By Bell; Poacl,mg Foil in
 Alasba Is Ciuen Outline
Seattle Post -Intelligencer)

Stating he was apprehensive for the future of the Alaska canned salmon industry, unless action is taken to rid Northern waters of foreign fishermen, United States Fisheries Commissioner Prank T. Bell was on record yesterday for legislation declaring salmon reared in United States waters "the prop erty of the United States"
 His position was outlined in a letter addressed to David s. Tobias, President of the Camp Lewis Tent and Awning Company, a fishery conservationalist. It told of the start of Japanese invasion of Unit ed States waters in l930.
 In the seven seasons since then" Bell wrote, "a number of Japanese floating canneries have operated beyond the three-mile limit off the Alaskan coast, particularly in Bris- tol Bay.
 Japanese Probe
 ''The Japanese government has repeatedly assured the State De- partment through the Embassy at Tokyo that none of it's vessels were licensed to fish for salmon off the Alaskan coast. In 1886, however, the Japanese government appro- priated 89000 yen for an investi- gation in our offshore waters to determine the routes of migration and the availability of salmon
 "The Japanese government has announced that fishing for salmon off the Alaskan coast on a com mercial scale would not be permit ted by vessels of that nation before this study is completed at the close of the 1888 season.
 Observations have been made this year of the operations of Jap anese vessels in the Boring Sea. . These observations have been far more extensive than in any prev ious year and tend to show that salmon are being taken in consid- erable numbers by certain of the Japanese vessels. Such fishing, how ever, is believed to be a part of the experimental work announced last year by the Japanese govern ment"
 Danger in Future
 Declaring that the pack of sal mon in Bristol Bay this year will probably reach 100000 cases, the Commissioner pointed out tn a t more than twenty million dollars is invested in plants and equip ment now in use in Bristol Bay, and that annual value of products reaches twelve millions. More than 5000 cannery workers and fisher men are employed.
 "The situation is not acute at the present time," he continued. The apprehension is to the future, and it is hoped that by legislation or treaty it will be firmly estab- lished that salmon matched. and reared in our Territorial waters are the property of the United States and shall be reserved for use only by American industry"
