MANY SECRETS
Amazing Number Of Things
Government Is Doing
Brought to Light
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April IA. You
never really learn the amazing
number of things the government
is doing until you read the report
of hearings on the appropriation
bills.
The hearings are held in secret
in House committee first and Sen
ate committee next. 1t is most fun
to read the House committee re-
ports which are given out after
wards. The members seem to be
possessed of sort of childish curl
csity and want to know whether
the government pays for the wine
the diplomats serve at formal BAN
quets and whether a battleship can
lick a coast defense gun in hand
to hand battle
The committees call the top
ranking generals, cabinet officials
admirals and diplomats as wit
nesses to explain why they should
get all the money they ask for II
Rep. Sam Jones of Squeedunk
wants to know if the state depart
ment has any spies he is likely to
get an answer. although if his
questions become too rambling his
fellow committee members will
squelch him.
just for sport, thumb through
the House committee hearings on
the War Department appropria-
lions bill.

man, Chairman of the Joint Com1
mittee for Protection of Pacific
Coast Fisheries has released a let-
ter sent to Secretary of State Corr
dell Hull asking continued negotia-
items with Japan regarding the Ber-
ing Sea fisheries
The letter asks the United States
to effect an establishment of juris-
diction for this country over SAIL
mon and other food fish in Amerir
can waters.
Our Pacific fishing industry
reads the communication, will be
in serious jeopardy until American
Jurisdiction is established over the
fisheries adjacent to the Pacific
Coast as a whole.
I'VE cannot be satisfied with less,
the letter said
Patrol Urged
The Committee urged establish
ment of a patrol by the Navy and
the Coast Guard and other vessels
to observe the activities of all North
Pacific and Boring Sea foreign fish
ing vessels.
The patrol would include persons
familiar with fishing gear practices.
The letter to Secretary Hull said
Japan's statements that that nation
is suspending the Bristol Bay fish
ing surveys, is gratifying, but urges
permanent action covering the en-
tire coast.
Hostile Feeling
There is a widespread feeling of
hostility" wrote the committee,
against all Japanese fishing, and
added Therefore, to avoid increas-
ing this friction, it is suggested that
negotiations be pursued to end it and
see that the Japanese adopt def
mite policy of not licensing its ma
tionals to engage in any fishery OPP
erations on the Pacific Continental
Shelf.
THE recent Japanese practice of
licensing their boats to engage in
crab fishing and trawl fishing for
groundfish of various types, should
be discontinued
Among the signers of the letter
was w. C. Arnold, of Ketchikan.
