Public Beginning to Realize Situation in Alaska
 Fisheries

SEATTLE, Dec. 10. - Special Correspondence)- Growing realiza- tion on the part of the U. S public that the Japanese threat to Alaska fisheries is a problem of national importance and not merely a local matter involving only Alaskans and a few salmon packers is shown by the attention currently given this problem in national publications and newspapers in all parts of the country.
 The editors of the most widely cir culated magazine in the country recognized the national nature of the controversy and the threat to the nations food sources when the Saturday Evening Post in the Mo- vember issue carried an article entitled Are Fish Citizens?" by Frank Richardson Pierce In this article, Pierce told the story of Am erican conservation measures, and of the Japanese threat to wreck the conservation program. He present. ed to the country the theory that Alaska salmon are U. s. property wherever they may go because they are spawned in U. S. territory under the protection of our laws.
 Japanese Teaching
 Readers Digest, the leading digest magazine with a circula ton well over a million copies, published very complete article in the current tDecember) issue of this magazine under the title Japanese Poaching in Alaskan Waters" by Marc A. Rose. MT Roses article is a complete story of the Japanese fishing ac- tivitieS in Bristol Bay, and tells of the famous visit of T. Takasaki to Seattle and of the meeting in which he invited U. s. packers to join with the Japanese. In this meeting Taka- saki was apparently not aware that labor representative were in at- tendance, for he offered as one of the advantages of the Japanese scheme the wages of $39 per month paid to Japanese labor on the can- nery ships. This article discusses several possible solutions to the Jap- anese problem, and represents about the most complete discussion of the problem yet placed before the American public in a mass publica- ton.

This picture shows Japanese can ming activities on floating can neries and tells of the danger to the American salmon supply. It depicts fishermen's re e n t m n against this double attack on their livelihood, the attack on their source of supply and on their mar kets. This picture also explains the great mineral wealth of the ter ritory and its military importance to the United States.
 News services have carried reports of union activity protesting the Jap anese invasion as well as reports of speeches in Congress on this sub ject. These news stories have been widely published in the United States.
 While Japan has not yet replied to the U. s. State Department note regarding fishing in Bristol Bay, U. s. labor leaders and packers be- lieve that the Japanese now know that the U. S. regards this problem as one of national importance, Pub lie knowledge of the issue is. mold ing U. s. opinion to the belief that these fisheries must be protected.

THE
EDITORIAL.

Not so long ago the psychology class
was asked to write out and hand In
the traits which they thought went to
make up a persons personality. No
one objected when courtesy was the
first trait mentioned; yet courtesy is
one of the things that that class and
almost everyone in high school neglects
most
We have all seen it happen; when a
person attempts to be courteous IN the
presence of his friends he is often made
the laughing stock of the group. No
harmful effects are intended, but they
are developed nevertheless. The per-
son may become selfconscious of the
fact that he is courteous and never try
it again.
When we speak of success we relate
with it three essentials; personality,
character, and education. These three
things have an equal bearing upon the
individual, but to the public our per-
sonality is most conspicuous; and after
all it's the public upon which our sue
cess depends.
So it seems that If we are to be what
all of us hope we may be; that is, a
success; then we must begin now to de-
Velop courtesy with everything else,
for courtesy is the most notable trait
of a personality, and personality is
the thing by which all, but our closest
friends, judge lis.

SkoaI To A Norseman.

An interview, an interview; I'll trade
a good nights sleep for an interview.
This was the thing that bothered me
this morning, but got it; from a red
headed Norseman if there ever was
one-Arnold Hansen.
On April q, 1919, in Fortine, Mon
tana, there was born a tiny waillng
boy (not red-headed yet. but there
were convincing signs). For eighteen
years this tiny, wailing boy has been
developing until now he is man
almost.
With such short time until gradua-
ton | asked Arnold what he intended to
do after he left high school.
Work for Jim Hill, he replied
And /, not being familiar with Jim
Hill had to ask for an explanation
he meant the Great Northern Railroad.
College is uncertain with Arnold, but
wherever he goes he is going to play
football. He stated that he hated leav-
ing school because he would miss the
athletics, but otherwise school isn't SO
hot He thinks the athletics in the
school are pretty good, but to him they
seem to be falling down in places.
From the above information you can
guess what Arnolds hobby isfootball
Outside of playing, he would rather
watch good game Of football thar
anything else.
His pet peeve is Moe Borden.
Favorite radio program: Gang Bus
ter. a true crime program, nice anc
thrilling.
Favorite jazz piece: He wasn't sure
but he thought it was Love and Learn
or something like that.
