PROHIBIT ALIENS FISHING

The Dimond bill to prevent aliens from fishing for commercial pur- poses in Alaska waters was re- ported favorably to the House April 27 with amendments.
 After considering the bill in ex- ecutive session the House Commit tee on the Territories decided to redraft the measure to include the amendments recommended by the Secretary of Commerce. The amend ed version was then introduced as a new bill by Representative Grove of Indiana, and the favorable re- port made on it.
 This measure has been sponsored by the Delegate to make effective the intent of law approved June IA, 1906, entitled An Act to pre- vent aliens from fishing in the wat CTS of Alaska The purpose of the Act as given in its title would ap- pear to be clear, but the court has held that aliens are permitted to fish as employees in connection with fisheries" The bill now pend ing is to make definite prohibi- tion of fishing for commercial pur- poses by all aliens, except those aliens who are and have been en- gagged in commercial fishing in Alaska during the three years prior to approval of the bill who are bona fide residents of the Territory, may continue in commercial fishing in Alaska waters for three years following its enactment. Under the terms of the bill no alien will be permitted to fish for commercial purposes in the waters of Alaska after the expiration of three years.
 The proposed legislation as amended in conformity with the views of the Department of Com merce does not change existing law which provides that nothing con- tained therein shall prevent any person, firm, corporation, or asso- citation lawfully entitled to fish in the waters of Alaska from en- ploying as laborers any aliens who can now be lawfully employed under the existing laws of the United States. either at stated wages or by piecework, or both, in connection with the canning. salting, or other

land about g miles north of Ju- neau, which has been reserved as the site for a radio station, for another tract owned by the Pacific Alaska Airways was approved by the President April 25.
 After the radio station site had been reserved it was found that construction of the necessary an- tenna towers on it would provide a flying hazard to operations in and out of the Juneau Airport, owned and operated by the Pacif c Alaska Airways. To avoid this the airways company purchased tn e tract used for it's part of the ex- change for $3,000 and has agreed that all details connected with the land exchange will be taken care of without cost to the Government.

ecretary to pelegate Dimond

Secretary to Delegate DimOnd
 WASHINGTON, May 2.-(Special Correspondence) Prospects for carrying some phases of the pro- gram for the defense of Alaska, carefully built up by Delegate A. J. Dimond during the five years he has represented the Territory in Congress, came to the front with increasing intensity during the past week in Washington.
 A naval establishment for the Territory is now centered in what is presumed to be a Navy Depart ment construction bill, introduced in the House April 27 by Represen- tative Vinson of Georgia, Chairman of the House Committe on Naval Affairs, which would authorize an appropriation of five million dol lars for Naval Air Station, Ko- diak Alaska: Aviation facilities, in cluding buildings a md accessories and purchase of land"
 
 A list of construction proposed and approved by the War Depart ment and submitted to the House Committee on Military Affairs this week contains Alaska items total- ing $4O4,850. Of this amount, $2l,- 250 would be used in rehabilitation and construction of noncommission- ed officers quarters at Anchorage, $349, ,050 for hospital. noncommis- stoned officers quarters, magazine warehouse, utilities, and theatre at Chilkoot Barracks, and $34,550 for noncommissioned officers quarters and radio station at Juneau. Rep resentative May of Kentucky, Chair man of the House Committee on Military Affairs, in discussing the construction proposed by the War Department in Alaska with Dele gate Dimond said that he also fav- ored the construction of the Army Air Corps station to be established near Fairbanks. This air base IS one of six which was authorized to be established in strategic locations in the United States and Alaska by the Wilcox Air Defense Act, approved in 1885. The only one of these on which construction has actually been started is at Tacoma, Washington. When hearings were held on the subject three years ago military aviation experts recom- mended the construction of the Alaska base, which was estimated to cost approximately 10 million dollars. In a recent speech in the House, Delegate Dimond urged that the Fairbanks station should have facilities to accommodate 1,000 army fighting planes.
 Some opposition is expected in Congress to both the Military and Naval public works programs, al- though it is not believed that it will be as strong as that expressed against the. Navy expansion pro- gram set up by the President, be- cause of the more permanent char acter of the works to be established under the construction program, the fact that they are of value only for defense, and that a larger amount of the money so used would be paid directly for labor than would be true in battleship con- struction. Administration approval of both the Navy and Army public works construction programs will undoubtedly expediate action by Congress. It is reported that the War Department is ready to start construction on it's entire program within thirty days if approved and funds are provided for it.
