PACK OF plNkS
 ON PUGET SOUND
 ISDIsApP0lNTlN0
War Is Threat 10 Fisheries Declares Charles
 E. Jackson

SEATTLE, Oct. 4.-The disap- pointing pack of pink salmon on the Puget Sound this year can be directly attributed to the fact that both American and Canadian fish ermen have been everlasting the Fraser River run of fish for several years while the lower Puget Sound run of pinks has gone to the spawn ing grounds unmolested. B. M Bren- nan, director of the Washington State Department of Fisheries told members of the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce here.
 The pink salmon in the lower Sound are overseeing to the extent that they are destroying previous spawning Brennan declared.
 He pointed out that this over seeding was result of Initiative TT passed in 1885 which banned pound nets or traps from Washington wat CTS. He said that an effort had been made at the last session of the Legislature to relieve this situation but administration measures which would permit traps in restricted localities and would permit the utilization of the lower Puget Sound run had been defeated
 Something must be done soon to restore the value of this resource to the state" he declared
 Charles E. Jackson Acting U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries, discuss cd the work of the Bureau of Fish cries in Alaskan waters.
 The Bureau of Fisheries regards it's prime duty as conservation of the fish" Jackson told the com mittee At the same time, VIC want the resource to be utilized as fully as possible consistent with proper conservation.
 Speaking of the war and it's effect on the fisheries, Jackson declared that war constituted a threat to the fisheries resources. He pointed out that the tremendous take of fish from the Fraser River during the last war had much to do with de- pleting the run of sockeye salmon in that river.
 He declared that fragrant viola tions of fishing regulations would hurt conservation and would injure the future of the Alaska fishing industry.

Now Britain Smiles Over Stains
Zone Man Encirclement" OF Reich
Strategic

BY MILTON BRoNNER

NEA ocEVhCe ObaAh OOEkeopUAucns
London, Oct. 27.-Diplomatic OBJ
servers here are coming TO be con-
WINGED that Stain Is top man in
Stain, Hitler & Co.
Best recent evidence of this, they
believe, is the extraordinary pressure
which Hitler has put upon the So
called Baltic Germans, directing
them to quit their ancient homes in
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and
settle in the part of Poland now
controlled by the Reich.
This mass exodus, it is said, re-
suits purely from Soviet Russia's
desire to rid its newly acquired vas
sal states or persons of German
blood. Stain has read bis recent his
tory. He knews that Hitler's grab
of Czechoslovakia and invasion of
Poland both were based upon the
pretext that German settlers in
those lands were oppressed" and
had to be rescued" Stain. looking
to the future, wants no oppressed"
Germans in countries which he
dominates.
Thus the "Balts," the outpost SOL
dierS of GermaniSm, whose ances-
tors were the Teutonic knights and
whose leaders were the proud Bait
Barons who held a privileged po-
sition even under the Gears, now are
being rooted from the land that has
been their home for over six CEN
turtles.

these underlying factors would
simply prolong the struggle"
Mr.. Hermann then presented a
consensus of opinions of business
men and women whom he has con-
tacted in recent weeks in number
of states.
MANY well-informed men believe
Germany made serious mistake in
forming an alliance with Russia.
They feel Russia will not complete
a real military alliance and they
point out that if Germany has any
further ambitions towards the East
she has now been definitely checked
by Russia. Russia's economic help
to Germany, they believe. is over
estimated.
MANY of those spoke to, al
though recognizing the possibility
that the majority of the German
people are supporting the present
German governments activities
more than the average person is
willing to believe, nevertheless feel
that there is an inherent weakness
in tn German situation which may
develop much more quickly than in
the previous war.
Peace Efforts
"While understanding the natural
desire of the German government
to consolidate recent gains Ind to
get breathing spell for any pos
Sible further aggression, If it has
that in mind, these men and women
nevertheless feel, first, that it is
unusual to witness a consistent Sc
ries of peace efforts sponsored by
the German government, and Sec
ond, that the present peace efforts
will fail.
1.-THE same group feels that the
Allies are pursuing judicious mill
tary course because within the al
lied countries, as well as all the bel
ligerent nations, a potential danger
exists in that tremendous sacrifice
of human lives could cause great
unrest at home and might result in
revolutionary action by the people.
Unlike 1914-19l8, the heart Of the
people does not seem to be in the
struggle to the extent to which that
condition existed In the earlier war.
This opinion has reference to both
sides in the present conflict"

How many boats are now in dry dock,

HOW many Thanksgiving do we have this year3

"a Tribute to Navy Day.
I'm so glad this is the U. S. A.
The good land OF the free
With our Air Force, our Army
And our grand Navy to guard the sea.
Does 1t give you thrill
The same as it does me
To know our stars and stripes
Are mercy Grant on the sea.
Our navy sinks no vessels
Their might is but TO save
The precious lives of those
Who'd have a watery grave
When submarines sink liner
A freighter and its men
It's then our u S. Navy
Goes forth and lends a hand.
Their first thought is humanity
Each man has will to do or die
And we should all be, Oh SO proud
To have them guarding you and I.
Our sailors in their suits of blue
Can never receive enough praise
From any of us Americans
so let our voice in Anthem raise.

The home OF the brave and the free
With our Air Force. our Army
And our Grand Navy to guard the sea.

! STAIN PROVES
|OPPORTUNIST

In the last World War the Baltic
Sea was regarded as a German lake.
Hitler designed to make it even more
so this time. 1t was for that rea-
son that he took Mcneil away from
Lithuania. 1t was for that reason
that he demanded from the Poles
the annexation of Danzig. 1t was
fof that reason that his armies Seiz-
ed the new Polish built modern port
of Gdynia.
But while Hitler was guessing what
to do in the west where German
armies were confronted by British
and French troops, Stain bagged
concessions from Latvia, Esthonia
and Lithuania. Nominally those lit
tie Baltic countries are still free and
independent. Actually they are vas
sails of the Bolshevik suzerain lord.
Their best ports are at the disposal
of the Russian fleet. Their best air.
dromes are also Stains.
Even if the Russians do not get
all they originally demanded from
doughty little Finland, they will still
have largely checkmated Hitler's
dreams. The Baltic Is no longer a
German lake. The Russians are in
a position to dispute that mastery.
GERMANY LOSES
CONTROL OF BALTIC
Leningrad, at the head of the Gulf
of Finland, is no longer in any dam
ger from German offensives, if the
Nazis and the Bolsheviks ever fail
out. For Stain has established mas
terry In the Gulf of Finland and the
Gulf of Riga. In any conflict be-
tween Germans and Russians, the
Nazi main fleets would have to hug
their ports, for Russian submarines
would make the Baltic untenable.
BY the same token, Russia could
menace the shipment of much-need-
ed Swedish iron ore for use in the
German ornaments works in the
Ruhr.
In southeastern Europe Stain, by
pushing his troops south, has block
ed any German advance into Ro-
mania, unless they plunged in
through Hungary. Stain has no
desire to see Hitler grab the oil
wells TO Romania and ports in the
Black Sea which, at present, is
mainly his and the Turks sea.
For some years Hitler has COM
planned that Britain was trying to
fern ring of hostile countries to
"encircle" Germany. The Daily Her.
