L. What has happened to the type of family like
your grandfather and grandmother that went
without until it was CERTAIN that present needs
could be paid for?

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 ourselves and call the whole world in to share in what we have"
 He urged the need of exercising "the right and authority of the 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-smuggling Act" which was passed by Congress in 1885, de- signed principally to prevent the smuggling of alcohol and intoxi- eating liquor into the United Sta tes. The Act authorizes the Pre- sident, upon sufficient proof that an attempt is being made 10 vio- late the revenue laws of the Un- ited States through smuggling, to declare customs enforcement area on the high seas without any limitation as to distance from the shore. Within such customs-en- forcement area the Government is authorized to seize and hold for forfeiture vessels which are engaged in attempt at smuggling. A similar law for the protection of the salmon fisheries 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 Alas ka salmon.
 In closing he said, This ques- ton does not affect Alaska only it affects the entire Nation-and

Favorable report was made on the bill to promote air navigation in the Territory of Alaska and between continental United Sta tes and the Territory, introduced in the Senate by Senator Schwel- Ienbach of Washington. The bill is a companion bill to one intro- duced in the House by Delegate Dimond. The report, however, states that the bill is not approv- ed by the Bureau of the Budget. In reporting on the bill Secretary of War Woodring made the fol- lowing statement:
 There is at present a danger oas lack of proper landing fields and of adequate ads 10 air navi- eation in the Territory of Alaska. These deficiencies are not only detrimental to the development of commercial air activity but would restrict the scope of mih- tarv air operations in an emerg- ency.

Calling attention to the need of this country to take an immed- fate and definite stand to halt the foreign invasion of American fisheries in Alaska, Delegate Di- mond spoke on the floor of the House on May 20.
 Summarizing the fife history of the salmon from its origin in the streams and lakes until its return to these inland waters to spawn and die at the end of its life cycle, the Delegate pointed out the pro- perty right the United States has in this branch of the fishery now threatened by Japanese floating canneries operating off the Alas ka coast. He showed how gro- undleSs in international law was the contention of the Japanese that they or any other nation have a right 10 fish in these wat CTS 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 fisheries with them, he said, If We are going 10 share the Alaska fisheries with the Japanese, will we not event ually have to share them witf the British and the French and the Italians and the NorwegianS and the SWedes and the Russi ans? Ii is impossible tc make treaties with the whole world and If We attempt 10 share

In acknowledging the request of the House Committee on 1ndi- an Affairs for a report on H. R. 1904, the bill introduced by Dele gate Dimond to provide old-age pensions for Indians of the Unit ed States, Acting Secretary of the Interior Charles West recently advised the Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Ali fairs, Hon. Will Rogers of Okla homa, that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs has been conferr- ing with representatives of the Social Security Board, which is considering the submission to Congress of an amendment to the Social Security Act including a provision relating to pensions for eligible Indians.
 In view of this anticipated ac- tion the Acting Secretary suggest ed that the Committee take no action on the Dimond bill pend ing receipt and consideration of the legislation to be presented by

 Representative Magnuson fur ther suggested that Section ? of the bill, which would wipe out the penalties incurred in the past should be stricken from the bill leaving il to the Department of Justice to handle the question of penalties in such manner as it deemed proper. The testimony disclosed that the several steam ship companies, under the theory of the Government, had already incurred penalties amounting to many millions of dollars.
 The bill IS in harmony with an other bill-a truly home rule measure-introduced at the last session, and again at this session by the Delegate, designed 10 give the Territorial Legislature author ity to alter, amend, or repeal all or any part of the tax provisions contained in Section l76 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska impos- ing license taxes upon business and trade The repeal of the pro visions of the Act imposing taxes upon ships and shipping and up- on freight and passenger trans portation lines. with the inclusion n such repeal of the amendment proposed by he Delegate would leave the Way open to the Terri toriaI Legislature to impose such taxes as might be deemed proper on shipping and transportation.
