ALASKA WILD LIFE

Indica tons that the measure aimed to broaden the scope ol the Alaska game laws probably will be enacted at this session of Congress. One of the amendments which already has passed the House would include bison and muskoX under the definition of game animals to afford these animals which have been introduced into the Territory permanent pro- lection. The section would be amended to n- clude in land bearing animals -marmot raccoon, and pika and species transpanted, and introduced. Authority under this section would also be given the Secretary of Agriculture to define black bear ncud- ing it's brown and blue color variations, as game animal under certain conditions At present they cannot be hunted game animals, but only as fur bearing animals Since their pelts have httle value for fur few of them taken for that purpose but during recent years it has become increasingly popu lar hunt them for sport various sections of the Territory

Coast Guard of the United States. However, despite their general noncitzenship status the Attorney Gen. eral of the United States has held that under the Alaska Game Law as heretofore set out they not aliens To place them under the Alaska Game Law
 in their true status with respect to citizenship will not discriminate against them nor will the proposed amendment affect the Fipinos who already citi- 2ens or who are eligible for citizenship. This amend inent will facilitate enforcement of the Alaska Game Law in some parts of the Territory.
 To provide further protection for the rights of bona fide residents of Alaska, section of the Act would be amended to- give the Secretary of Agriculture to the residence requirements of citizens Cf the United States and aliens who are nonreSldents under the present law at three years in connection with the issuance of trapping licenses. At present cny one years residence is required and 1t is found that the increasing influx of nonresdentS into the Territory is encroaching seriously upon the privileges of long established resident trappers and native h. dians and Eslimos An amendment is also recom- mended to authorize the Alaska Game Commission to urchase operate and maintain aircraft to restock depleted areas to undertake emergency feeding of viidlife and investigate widlife conditions and pro vide protection of wild life resources. none of which are authorized under the present law
 These amendments have all been recommended by the Alaska Game Commission and several of them were expressly recommended in memorial adopted by the Alaska Territorial Legislature during the 1937 session.
 Wild life is one of Alaskas major resources and its protection perpetuation and introduction of new specie will make for growth industry and world attraction rather than allow it to face eXhaus tion and extinction which has been the in the States The sensible course adopted by the AL asla Game Commission and furthered in Congress by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond with the assistance of Senator Lewis B, Schwelenbach of Washington bodes well for the Territory being wild life paradise for years to come.
 Alaska is fortunate in having in charge Of It's wild life who conversant with the Territory and its game and birds This week Irving McK Reed Chairman of the Commission who has given excellent service to Alaska as a Game Commissioner for Il years rendered his resignation due to pressure of prl- vate business. It is to be hoped that Secretary ot Agriculture Henry A. Wallace will name an Alaskan as well qualified and with thorough knowledge of Alaska problems to fill the vacancy and work with the men who doing such first rate job of it.

FINAL EFFORT

France and England Work
Jointly as Peace All
But Despaired

LONDON, Sept. 81. (UP)-A
high British statesman said today
that Britain has exhausted all
practical efforts to save Europe
from war and that cabinet men,
bcrs "almos: despair of averting
hoStilities."
He referred to Britain's blunt
warning to Adolf Hitler - three
hours before Der Fuehrer made
his defiant Berlin speech - that
Britain, France and Russia would
resist an invasion of Czechoslo-
vakia, and to Prime Minister New
lille Chamberlain's 1890 a. m.
statement that Britain would guar
antce fulfillment of a settlement
peacefully arrived at.
Cabinet members, he said, were
disappointed at Hitler's speech,
and one of them interpreted it to
threaten immediate invasion of
Czechoslovakia. The ca b n e t
members, he said, admit that Hit
ler's speech made the ominous in
ternational situation still darker
and that "peace hangs by the slen-
derest thread"
The British warning, issued in
an official communique, came as
Hitler concluded his address at
the Sports Palace in Berlin, an
nouncing his determination to
take the Sudetenland by force if
necessary.
In the statement the British
government declared that if Ger
many attacks Czechoslovakia "the
immediate result must be that
France will be bound to come to
her assistance and Great Britain
and Russia will certainly stand by
France"
