the Puskin clan, which stretches
back many generations in Rus
sian life, played a leading role in
establishing the Romanov dynasty
of autoerats on the Russian throne.
At the same time there were Ne
groes present in the tsar's palace
during the very last days of the
last of the Romanov autoerats,
Nicholas II, in 1917.
The Act of Election which
placed the first Romanov tsar on,
the throne was signed by five of
the Pushkin clan. This same clam
was always close to the princes
and tsars of Muscovy, and the
Pedigree Book" of Ivan, the Ter
rible, one of the blodiest, most
cruel and autocratic of tsars, had
a Puskin name in it.
Ii is one of the ironies of history
that another Pushkin of a differ

veterate and bitter enemy of these
same Romanov tsars. Indeed, it
was one of the Romanov line, Mich
olas First, who played an import
ant role in bringing about the IA
tai duel which ended the life of
Alexander Pushkin.
The last of the Romanoy line of
absolutist a%utocrats was Nicholas
II, a nit-wit, superstitous and fan
atically religious tyrant. His last
days in one of the numerous pal
aces were spent in the huge Alex
androvsky palace in Tsarkoe Selo,
then Tsar's Village, now Children's
Village, where Pushkin attended
school in the Lyseum.

the fishermen are not allowed power boats, but race to the fish ing grounds in tiny sailing sloops with two and three-men crews. Consequently, the catch has been kept within the spawning and the supply could endure for cen turies.
 Imagine the wrath of these men when the field is raided by greedy, interruptions foreign pir- ates, who could destroy the rich est salmon ground of the world Americas oWn-in a few years!
 Tokyo denies that any Japan csc ships are licensed to fish for salmon anywhere near the Ann erican waters. But Ellis specifi- 'cally charges that despite the mild assurances of the Japanese government made last March, such raiding is still going on.
 He asserts that ge-tonnage mother ships, floating canner- ies, are constantly in the salmon area, ostensibly to trap crabs. But the gear they carry is sal mon nets for surface fishing. Crabs are caught at the bolton with different equipment, he la conically relates. According to Ellies, the packers have obtained their evidence by airplane.
 The Legion Magazine article relates one incident that will please Americans. Japanese fin anciers approached American packers in Seattle with a propos- al that they form a joint company "a trust-like monopoly. The idea

ALASKA'S MILITARY
 PLIGHT BROUGHT BE-
 FORE LEGIONNAIRES
Clos Angeles Daily News)


 Powerful military defenses for the Pacific Coast - Americas s "western front"-are almost cer- tain to form one of the serious subjects before the national Am erican Legion convention to be held in September
 One indication is evident in the Legion Magazine for July, Whi- ch carries what probably is the best article ever compiled on the bitter Boring Sea and Bristol Bay fisheries dispute with Japan. It was written by Clyde R. Ellis, Legionnaire of Anchorage, Alas ka, whose calm words, free of any jingoism, convincingly re- veal the perils of our salmon in- dustry-and also the military helplessness of this rich and un- protected salient of the United States.
 Despite his dispassionate reel tal the sportsman-like American citizen is likely to flare angrily over the explosures.
 For years the Bureau of Fish cries, the salmon packers and the marine unions have abided by a set of rules more rigid than those of a football or baseball contest. Only one month of fishing is al- lowed each year (even this has two rest" intervals), and so sporting are the provisions, that

was that Japanese labor was so much cheaper than American la Dor that the profits would be immense. The packers scorned the plan.
 So the Japanese intimated they would go ahead-as an Ameri- can corporation. The Fisher mems Union chief stepped in and informed the Japanese just what would happen to their ships and men when they tried to un- load in an American port. At first bewildered, MT. Moto and his pals soon were convinced, and you'll hear no more of that.

UR BIRDS IN ALASKA

 With Howard Hughes back in America this regions chief inter est is neither in the halving of LinIdberg's time across the At lantic nor in the question of how deeply Wiley Posts globe-girdl- ing mark is to be slashed.
 Rather we are concerned in the new demonstration of the import ance of Alaska, once sold for a song by a Russia that failed to recognize it's value, in the devel- opment of future world air rou- tes and in the defense of Ameri- ca.
 Bugs Baer, with his customary pungency, puts his pen point on the real question. He asks:
 How would you like to look up there in the sky some morn ing and see a bird with eggs for breakfast that you never order ed ?"
 The United States today re- mains ahead in aviation achieve ments.
 But Japanese, Chinese and Rus sian birds" are dropping their deadly eggs in Asia today.
