he must either turn about-face (if it
is not too late) or resign to be fol-
lowed by Lord Baldwin or Mr..
Eden:
Memel. Detached from German
East Prussia by the Versailles trea-
ty, later ceded to Lithuania, this
943-square-mile territory on the Bal
tic is being absorbed back into the
Reich without consultation with-or
protest from-the four guarantors Of
the Memel statute britain, France,
Italy and Japan. Using "Sudeten"
methods, Germany first provoked
Memelites to cry for autonomy. Fol-
lowing victorious plebiscite came
the cry for "anschluss" (union) with
the Reich. Although Hitler an
nounced after the Munich treaty
that he had no more European ter
ritorial claims, no one doubts his
agents are behind the Memel COUP,
Ukraine. While world attention
has been focused on the Franco-Ital-
ian crisis (see beloso) Hitler has
quietly but effectively begun agita-
ton for his projected Ukraine re-
public, to be carved out of Poland
and Russia. A Nazi-inspired auton-
omy move in the Polish Ukraine,
the first step, is being correlated
with activity of German agents in
the Russian Ukraine. The latter
step is especially well timed, since
meager reports out of Moscow in
dictate the Soviet republic is weak
ened by internal strife. Not con-
tent to stop there, Hitler has opened
negotiations with Persia and At
ghanistan for German exploitation
Of oil and wheat lands. In the Bal
kans, Jugoslavia has practically re-
nounced the little entente to follow
pro-Nazi Premier Milan Stoyadino-
vich.
France. No observer believes the
recent French German treaty is
worth anything, because the Reich
has actually increased anti-French
activity since it was signed. France
has alliances with Poland and Rus
STA, both Of which have been ig-
nored in Germany's Ukrainian
drive. France dominates the little
entente, which Hitler has defeated
in Jugoslavia and is undermining in
other Balkan countries. And-most
important-France resents Germa-
ny's support of Italian demands for
Tunisia, Corsica, Nice and Savoy.
Current opinion holds that France
will surprise Germany and Italy
with a strong and unexpected re-
sistance to these territorial de-
mands. In the end, however, Italy
may get partial control over the
Suez canal and a share in French
Somaliland, offering an outlet to the
sea from Ethiopia.

FISH TRAPS IN ALASKA
(ByJOHN# SEYERSON)


The topic OF the fish traps and
their adjustment mas come to the
front page OF almost every news
paper in Alaska. 1t is the main sub
jeet IN all OF Alaskas labor union
meetings. And to top them all it
is rumored that the Go and the
A. +. OF L. are going to forget their
jurisdictionaI disputes and tight
hand in hand when it comes to the
adjustment OF the traps IN Alaska.
The A. 5. P. S. L. in convention
at Sitka en- September 10, 1888,
passed a resolution for the abolish
ment Of traps. the Unity Conference
in ketchikan passed a similar resO-
luton. Several plans have been pro
posed from various quarters but SO
far 1 am afraid that none OF them
have come up TO the specifications
OF approval either by the fishermen
or by the trap owners as to diserim-
nation.
In order to be lair towards III,
big canning corporations with theil
traps as we'll as the independent
owners with perhaps one or two
traps, a complete abolishment in
one year would be the most logical
way, but il all traps were abolished
in one year, I am much afraid that
year, 1 am very much afraid that
the eanneries in order TO insure
themselves of a fair seasonal pack
would hire great many outside
fishermen and their boats. These
boats with their modern power and
equipment would certainly lead the
Anticipated and obsolete Alaskan
fishing boats a merry chase. This
way the Alaska residents would not
benefit as they should.
We have a few modern salmon
seiners in Alaska but they are very
few in comparison to the number OF
seine boats.
Other plans that have been pro-
posed provide for adjustment over
a period OF three to five years. These
plans have been proposed by very
competent men but l believe they
are too discriminating for trap
owners whose traps would be
abolished. Think of the way it would
benefit those whose traps were left
in operation. 1t would in some in
stances double the catch of salmon
and more than triple the profits
ask you, is this fair? OF course not.
Therefore, take this opportunity
to present to the people OF Alaska
a plan for adjustment of traps over
a three-year period which is fair to
all.
The first year, should this plan
be adopted, all trap owners would

INTERESTING MEETING

Anticipating cold weather which,
however. failed To materialize. the

ranged at the November meeting to
hold the December luncheon meet
ing last Saturday in the Elks hall.
The luncheon table at which 81

tered throughout its length with
small coned evergreen sprays in
which glowed YaFi-eoIored Christ
mas tree lights.
A well rounded program followed
the luncheon. Under committee re-
ports, Mrs. T. Y. Garry, chairman
of the citizenship committee, read
an interesting question and answer
paper. Mrs. Il. r. Coulter, for the
Civic Improvement committee, stat
ed there was so much interest being
manifested in the proposed CONVEX
sion OF the lower end of Bevier play
field lot next to the city hall into
skating rink that an abundance
OF help would be available when the
club was ready to start the project.

stroyed to surface the road, little
children have ne Wading facilities
within walking distance of town.
Building a tennis court across the
road from the park which is in the

Much encouragement in both pro-
jects was received.
The club voted to raise the money
required for the non labor costs for
the tennis court and wading pool
in the event they are approved and
