AIR NAVIGATION

Favorable report was made on the bill to promote air navigation in the Territory of Alaska and be- tween the continental United States and the Territory, introduced in the Senate by Senator Schwellen- bach of Washington. The bill is a companion bill to one introduced in the House by Delegate Dimond. The report, however, states that the bill is not approved by the Bureau of the Budget In report ing on the bill Secretary of War Woodring made the following state ment:
 There is at present dangerous lack of proper landing fields and of adequate aids to air navigation in the Territory of Alaska. These deficiencies are not only detri- mental to the development of com mercial air activity but would re- strict the scope of military air operations in an emergency. This proposed legislation would promul- gate program for the progressive remedy of the existing situation which would be in the interest of national defense"

POINTED TALK , BY DIMOND ON
 HOUSE FLOOR
Foreign Invasion of Amer ican Fisheries in AL
 aska, His Subject
By J. J. ECKLES to Delegate Dimond

J
 WASHINGTON, May 22.-(Spec- ial Correspondence Calling at tention to the need of this coun- try to take an immediate and def mite stand to halt the foreign invasion of American fisheries in Alaska, Delegate Dimond spoke on the floor of the House on May 20.
 Summarizing the life history of the salmon from it's origin in the streams and lakes until it's return to these inland waters to spawn and die at the end of its life cycle, the Delegate pointed out the prep erty right the United States has in this branch of the fishery now threatened by J a pa nes floating canneries operating off the Alaska coast. He showed how groundless in international law was the con- tention of the Japanese that they or any other nation have right to fish in these waters by merely staying outside of the three mile limit.
 Arguing against the possibility of treating with the Japanese or in any way sharing the Alaska fish cries with them, he said: "If we are going to share the Alaska fish cries with the Japanese, will we not eventually have to share them with the British and the French and the Italians and the Norweg- ians and the Swedes and the Rus sions? It is impossible to make treaties with the whole world and if we attempt to share the Alaska fisheries with all of the nations of the earth, then we had better admit at once that we have not the fortitude to protect our selves and call the whole world in to share in what we have"
 He urged the need of exercising ''the right and authority of the

a business will withdraw from inter- port business in the Territc~y if the tax provisions of the law are not re- pealed, thus depriving the citizens of Alaska of steamship transporta- tion service they are now receiving
 Delegate Dimond stated that whilz he was of the opinion that tie steamship companies should regis ter in Alaska and thus be subject to and pay the tax without question the owners could not be compelled to register their ships in Alaska and therefore, the only effect of the operation of the law would be to put a prohibitive tax on interport business carried on in Alaska, and since shipping facilities in Alaska were now insufficient and therefore everything possible should be done to increase, rather than diminish, these facilities The Delegate in- sisted, however, that if the bill were to be passed the rights of the Ter ritorial Legislature to impose what ever taxes might be deemed proper should be adequately preserved, and to carry out that view offered the following amendment to the bill:

His First sRaiU Medt' Role

I was a pretty serious guy. I was a bullwhacker once, and I got good notices because I took my role ser iously.

When two newspapers get into a war and I'm on one of them, I'm bound to be serious When I have Frances Far mer for a daughter and Fred Mac Murray for a prospective son-in-law Il really have something to worry about

PENSION FOR INDIANS

In acknowledging the request of the House Committee on Indian Affairs for a report on H. R. 1904, the bill introduced by Delegate Dimond to provide old-age pensions for Indians of the United States, Acting Secretary of the Interior Charles West recently advised the Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, Hon. Will Rog- CTS of Oklahoma, that the Con- missioner of Indian Affairs has been conferring with representa- tives of the Social Security Board, which is considering the submis- sion to Congress of an amendment to the Social Security Act includ- ing provision relating to pensions for eligible Indians.
 In view of this anticipated &C., tion the Acting Secretary suggested that the Committee take no action on the Dimond bill pending re- ceipt and consideration of the leg islation to be presented by the Social Security Board.

United States to prevent fishing by aliens in the Boring Sea where such fishing interferes with the entry of Alaska salmon into AL aska rivers; this jurisdiction to be exercised through the passage and enforcement of an act of Congress similar in scope to the anti-smug- gling act" which was passed by Congress in 1885, designed prin- cipally to prevent the smuggling of alcohol and intoxicating liquor into the United States.
 The act authorizes the President. upon sufficient proof that an at tempt is being made to violate the revenue laws of the United States through smuggling, to declare a customs reinforcement area on the high seas without any limitation as to distance from shore Within such customs enforcement area the Government is authorized to seize and hold for forfeiture vessel s which are engaged in an attempt at smuggling. A similar law for the protection of the salmon fish, cries of Alaska would enable the Government to protect the salmon an indefinite distance from shore when on their way to the rivers of Alaska to spawn, since they are truly Alaska salmon.
 In closing he said: This ques- ton does not affect Alaska only it affects the entire nation-and it involves not only the immediate welfare of some thousands of our citizens but it involves a vitally important question of national policy"

QUICK CONFIRMATION

Confirmation of the reappoint- ment of Hon. John w. Troy as Governor of Alaska was made by the Senate on May 20. The speed with which action was taken on this may be realized by noting that this nomination was not pre- sented to the Senate until May 10 the nomination was favorably reported from the Senate Commit tee on Territories May 19-and it was confirmed the following day by the Senate.

 HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 2. -- Here l am, newspaper man again, and a bit stiff at times, too.

shall abrogate, limit, or curtail
 the powers granted the Terri
 torial Legislature of Alaska to
 impose taxes or licenses, nor
 limit or curtail any powers
 granted to the Territorial Leg
 islature of Alaska by the Act
 of Congress approved August
 24, 1912, entitled An Act to ere
 ate legislative assembly in
 the Territory of Alaska, to con-
 fer legislative powers thereon,
 and for other purposes, or by
 any other Act of Congress.
 With the amendment thus pro- posed the Delegate supported the passage of the bill because the Ter ritorial Legislature would thus be able to adequately take care of the situation.
 Repl sentative Magnuson further suggested that Section of the bill, which would wipe out the penalties incurred in the past, should be stricken from the bill leaving 1t to the Department of Justice to handle the question of penalties in such manner as 1t deemed proper. The testimony disclosed that the sever al steamship companies, under the theory of the Government, had al- ready incurred penalties amounting to many millions of dollars.
 HCme Rule Measure
 The bill is in harmony with an other bill--a truly home rule meas ure-introduced at the last session, and again at this session by the Delegate, designed to give the Terri torial Legislature authority to alter, amend, or repeal all or any part of the tax provisions contained in Sec- tion l76 of the Compiled Laws Of Alaska imposing license taxes upon business and trade. The repeal of the provisions of the Act imposing taxes upon ships and shipping and upon freight and passenger trans portation lines, with the inclusion in such repeal of the amendment pro- posed by the Delegate would leave the way open to the Legislature to impose such taxes as might be deemed proper on shipping and transportation.
 The repeal bill evidently is widely in Alaska since more than forty telegrams, letters and resolu- tions have been received by the Delegate urging enactment of the measure, some of them specifying that to the Alaska Legislature should be left the decision as to taxes to be imposed on the shipping business, and no letter, telegram, or resolution opposing passage of the repeal bill has been received.

undertaking the, many projects chased under it's title that have been approved by the Chief of En- gineers. To carry out all proj- ects in the bill will require ap- propriaton of more than 31 mill lion dollars.
 The bill contains an item anthcr- izing construction of the small beat harbor on the mainland side of Gastineau Channel, north of the ouglas-Juneau Bridge. It also in. cludes authority for preliminary examination by direction of the Secretary of War of the following nine harbor projects in Alaska with Ia view to their Improvement: Unga Harbor, Seldovia Harbor, waterway to connect Tenakee Inlet and Port Frederick Sound on Chichagof f Island Wrangell Harbor, Craig liar Dor, Grantley Harbor at Teller, mouth of Sinuk River, Elfin Cove, and Myers Chuck Harbor. Juneau Basin
 The work oualined and approved by the Chief of Engineers to pro vide a small boat and seaplane harbor at Juneau will consist of basin dredged to 12-foot depth and 11h2 acres in area. The basin to be protected by breakwaters to- taling nearly 1000 feet in length. The benefits expected from con- struction of this project in rela- tion to it's estimated cost may be seen from the following excerpt from the report:
 The cost of this improvement is estimated at $232,0O0, with neg ligible expenditures for mainte- nance. It would eliminate dam ages to small craft averaging $500 annually now occasioned by the lack of a sheltered anchorage; and permit the serving and repair of larger craft at marine railway to be constructed at the proposed basin, with further savings esti- mated at $10,O00 annually over the present cost of repair at distant harbors."

LONDON, July 10 Q.NSO.-1n
singing words that left not doubt
of his meaning, British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden today
told Premier Mussolini to keep
his hands off British interests in
the Mediterranean and the Red
Sea.
The strongest language that
any British cabinet officer has
used in the House of Commons
for many years was employed by
the youthful foreign secretary in
stressing Britain's determination
to preserve her colonial SOW
ereignty.
He made it clear the govern
ment is prepared to go the limit
should her interests be endangered
and repudiated the frequent Ital-
ian charges that Britain is seeking
revenge" for her humiliation by
MuSsolini in the conquest OF
Ethiopia.
Strongest Stand
Declaring Britain would join
in no international bloc against
any political creed, be it commu-
nism or fascism, Eden said:
"What matters to us is not
the way q government governs
itself at home but the way 1t
conducts itself abroad"
His declaration was the strong
est stand Britain has taken openly
since outbreak of the Spanish
civil war year ago.
Eden followed his warning
about the Mediterranean with
another regarding the Red Sea.

spreading anti,British propaganda
