W. c. Arnold Says Passage

End Foreign Fishing

There will be no japanese trouble
in the Bristol Bay area this year,
according to w. c. Arnold, Ketchi-
kan attorney who arrived in Juneau
BY plane Saturday afternoon to
attend meetings OF the Territorial
Planning Board.
"Japsn's agreement not to fish in
Alaska this year, will, l believe take
care If the situation there for 1888.
However. passage of the Dimond
bill would effect a permanent elm
inaticn OF fishing in Alaska waters
IT, ell other countries except the
United States" Judge Arnold said.
Study CT the japanese fishing
situation in Bristol Bay is being
done at Stanford University and at
Harvard under endowments set up
for the purpose by the salmon in
dustry, according to Judge Arnold.
who was in San Francisco recently
in connection with the industry
endcwments
Under the endowments, the opin-
ions of the best international law
yers OF the country are being stud
led in connection with the interna-
ticnal and diplomatic relations
involved in the Dimond bill.
Passage of the Dimond bill, which
aims to protect the salmon fishery
CT Alaska and to prevent its deple-
ton through illicit fishing opera
ticns carried on by foreign nations
in waters adjacent to the Territory,
is urged, Mr.. Arnold said.
Contrary to arguments presented
against 1t that it would be a viola
ton of international law, Mr.. Arnold
said that DR.. Bingham and those
working under him believe passage
of the Dimond bill would involve
no violation OF international law.
Judge Arnold is not optimistic
regarding Alaska's 1888 a m n
pack. From the standpoint OF reve-
nue. to the Territory and employ
ment, the settlement, he said, was
good news. However, under condi-
lions as they are, l don't see how
the operators are going to come ont

Great credit for the settlement
of the labor controversy should go
TO Governor Troy and to his rep
