By EDWARD WEBER ALLEN Member International Fisheries
 Commission

Pacific Coast papers and maga- zines have startingly presented the threat of foreign invasion of Alas ka's salmon, cod, and halibut fish cries. Fasteners, on the other hand, are inclined to be complais- ant. The threat is genuinely ser ious. The problem is not that of a section only; it is national in im- portance. It is international in it's ramifications. Prompt consideration is essential if critical entanglements are to be avoided.
 Alaska's salmon industry is the most important individual fishery of the entire United States. The us ual case of salmon consists of 48 one-pound cans, and in 1886 Alaska produced 8,437, ,603 cases out of a total world pack of 13,127 ,643 cases. The producers price is from $4 to $10 case, according to the var iety, so the pack has worthwhile monetary value. There is also a

 The cost of the search is not es- timated but is unofficially set at many hundreds of thousands of dol- lars.
 There has been no trace and no word of the missing fliers since they flashed their position report on the afternoon of July 2.

H. B. Friele, vice-president of the Nakat Packing Company and chair man of the Executive Board of the Association of Pacific Fisheries, whose flight over Japanese salmon fishing vessels in Bristol Bay on July brought out the first actual evidence of Japanese fishing in the Bristol Bay area, reiterated in Ju- neau yesterday the statements he had made in previously published telegram to Gov. John w. Troy and in an affidavit prepared following his airplane trip over the foreign fishing vessels.
 With J. N. Gilbert, president of Pacific American Fisheries. and L. G. Wingard, of the Bureau of Fisheries, MT. Friele arrived in Ju-' neau Saturday night on the Marine Airways Fairchild; Alex Holden, pi- lot, after Q ten-hour flight from Bristol Bay.

EARLY CLOSING OF BRISTOL BAY
 RECOMMENDED
Alaska AgentReports Catch Poor Last Week and
 Season ShouldBe Cut

Returning to Juneau by plane at the weekend. Alaska Agent L. c. Wingard said today that after look ing over the spawning grounds in the Bristol Bay region, he had rec commended to Washington that the season be closed there on the morn ing of July g, or Thursday morn ing, just after the mid-week closing period. The early closing would cut two and one half days off the regu- lar season.
 The Agent said it was his belief that it was in the interests of con- serving the salmon supply to close early as there were few fish going to the spawning grounds Fishing in the area has been poor the last week, he reported, and the catch for the season probably will be well under the million-case mark. Through Ju- ly 10 the total pack was only about 625, ,000 cases.
 In Washington at noon today, Commissioner Frank T. Bell said no action had yet been taken by Secretary of Commerce Roper on the. early closing recommendation.

Union Agent Says Japs Get Only } Cents Fish While
 Americans Get I4 cents

SEATTLE, July 19. = Japanese fishermen taking salmon from Bris- tol Bay have offered to sell their catch to American packing firms at prices undercutting those paid to American fishermen.
 Louis Mostad business agent of the Alaska Fishermens Union, said. "The Japanese are paid three cents per fish for their catch while Am ericans get IA cents. Just recently the Japanese had the gall to pro- pose selling to packers undercutting union prices. They fish the year around without gear restrictions. There are no actual laws broken when the Japanese take salmon out side the three mile limit but the fish are American by birth. spawned in American lakes and streams in Alaska.
 ''The United States has spent mil- lions of dollars on conservation measures to develop the fish. We've found evidence that the Japanese are setting up camps along the shores of Bristol Bay to shoot rein- deer for meat supplies and to get water for their ships
 Mostad was in conference with packing firm officials on the report by the party who flew over Japan ese fishing operations. The party returned here with photographs and affidavits to file with the Bureau of Fisheries.

The halibut industry each year sends forth about 470 vessels to bring in a catch worth about $4,500.000. AL though the Pacific cod fishery does not compare with that of the At- lantic, it is. substantial.
 Extensive Employment
 Altogether Alaska fisheries give direct employment to about 25,000 persons. They substantially contri- bute to numerous other industries, can manufacturing, ship building, etc. They pay approximately four fifths of the entire territorys tax revenue. They are more important commercially than mining and all other Alaska industries put togeth- CT
 From the standpoint of the con- suming public the Alaska salmon fisheries furnish one of the most valuable low-priced food supplies.
