What the Third Reich Means
Philadelphia Record)


 In 1914 Germany was a monarchy, but monarchy advanced that it's social system often referred to as 'monarchical socialism" It had free press. It had free labor unions. It's largest party was socialist.
 But if anyone doubts the true character of the Nazi regime today he need only read the pastoral letter issued by the Catholic hierarchy in the Reich
 The whole bitter story of the Hitlerite campaign, not only against Catholicism but against Christianity, told its stirring pages Catholic functionaries, workers and businessmen suffer economic discrimina- tion. Pressure is brought on Catholics to abandon their faith
 Authoritative persons have proclaimed with the widest publicity that their weltanschauliche goal lies in the destruction of German Catholicism. against only the Church but against Christian ity well sene, burnt-out residue of a superstitious age'
 The Catholic Church according to the pastoral letter accused of entering into personal and polit cal relations with Bolshevist Russia Catholic books and writings subjected the severest censorship and frequently are even forbidden, confscated or destroyed"
 Its fundamental doctrines are aSsaed as "Asatic superstitions" Attacks are made upon the personal honor of the Holy Father" Christian ethical prin- ciples and precepts outawed behind the times and intellectual" They have kindled war of ex- termination against religion"
 Christanitys revealed truth is criticized rejected by worldly authorities, crowned with the thorns of calumny, condemned to death and crucified upon a German Calvary"
 But it is not religion alone that is nailed to that German hooked cross It is democracy and freedom and civilization

THE MUCH-ABUSED FISH TRAP

For q good many years the fish trap in Alaskan waters has been the subject of a great deal of dis cussion with bills coming before the Legislature and before Congress for it's elimination. Recently the subject was revived by the Alaska Labor Unity Con- ference in Ketchkan which went on record calling for gradual elimination of the traps over period of five years Similar proposals have been advanced during the last several years and each time the proposal is made the fish trap is painted as some sort of a vicious vulture which gobbes up all the salmon in the sea and therefore is a general menace to life and the pursuit of happiness
 The fact is that the fish trap is simply form of gear used in the catching of fish, and it should be considered that premise and not some strange intriguing device which should immediately be done away with to protect the public welfare
 The trap IS fishing gear just as the gill net the seine and even the hook and line are forms of gear used in fishing And for the protection of the fishing industry generally and tine conservation of Alaskas No industry it should be regulated just the other types of gear. But to say that it should be eliminated in favor of other type of gear is much like saying that all bait fishing should be stopped in Alaska waters in favor of fly fishing or vice versa. It is purely a type of gear and cannot honestly be treated as anything else, although it is too often fact that is pictured everything except what it is.
 A fair interpretation of the trap and it's in Alaska given by J. N. Gilbert Vice President of Pacific American Fisheries when he appeared before congressional committee the trap issue rep resentative of the Alaska Pacific Salmon Company in 1886 At that time, MT. Gilbert said:
 Out in western Alaska in Bristol Bay they
 have the Nushagak. Kivchak, Egegk, Uga-
 shik, and others rivers where it is shallow
 water. and the water is discolored, and all,
 and they gill nets.
 "As you go down the peninsula there is
 place where you seines only. As you
 proceed around the peninsula, you come to
 place where traps the only successful
 gear, and then you go down to Kodiak
 Island where all three kinds of gear used.
 Tn Cook Inlet the trap is the only kind of
 gear that can be used successfully and it it
 eliminated in that particular area you
 would probably reduce the catch by S5 per
 cent.
 Tn Prince William Sound. both kinds of
 gear useful and necessary. On Copper
 River they gil-nets because that is very
 much the Bristol Bay. Going down
 to Yakutat, they use only gill nets. because
 they the only equipment suitable for that
 water.
 Tn Icy Strait Chatham Strait, Frederick
 Sound, and through the waters of southeastern
 Alaska the trap is by far and large the most
 necessary means of fishing. and the most
 useful type Of equipment. The purse seine is
 used there to a large extent but is only used
 in the inland waters up in the bays"
 Thus if may be seen that the fish trap is purely gear it has place where it be operated and

The League of Nations was born of

The Assembly accepted the recon-
