Whose Fish?
Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Seattle -Inteigencer)
 Japan's foreign office spokesman recently re- vealed that fishing concessions along the Siberian Coast again becoming sore point between the Japanese and Soviet governments.
 In the Portsmouth treaty Russia engaged to ar range fishing rights for Japanese along the Pacific and Boring Sea coasts The latest convention desg- mating the details of this arrangement however expired in 1886 and has not been renewed
 The Japanese ambassador to Moscow the "spokes- man" announces has been instructed to tell the Rus sians that they appear to be attempting to block negotiations "on various preeXts, including the ale gaton of Japans violation of the Portsmouth treaty, but that the ambassador is to make it plain that Japan can never allow such important national rights to suffer the slightest impairment and also that satisfactory settlement of the question most essential for the preservation of normal relations between Japan and the Soviet Union and consequently the peace of East Asia"
 Stiff words these not far removed from an ulti- matum!
 They should serve to remind United States authorities that the issue of Japanese encroachments upon Bristol Bay fisheries has not been settled either
 It is true that with the China incident" still on the ways, Japan considered it polite to keep her salmon ships away from Alaska last summer.
 Fortunately the United States has been in the position of defeated Russia compelled to sign it's economic rights to victor enemy But if Japan considers it necessary to settle the Siberian fishing question. to preserve the peace of Asia should not be equally insistent upon the recognition of United States rights in Alaska to pre- serve the peace of America?

 The philosophy behind the act IS sensible.

He should be put away where he can do no further harm to decent people.

ENEMIES WITHIN THE GATES

Through fault of her own, Alaska in recent years has become dumping ground for criminals from all parts of the United States. Petty thieves, gang sters pckpockets and shady characters from thou sand underworlds have been coming in almost by every boat.
 The reason for this undesirable migration is not hard to discover.
 California some years ago, passed habitual criminal law first such statute in the United States provided that conviction three felony charges automatically sent man to prison for life The re- suit as far as California was concerned immediate and gratifying Criminals those who already had run up against the law times and others whose operations eramped by the spectre of life inn prsonment hastened to shake the dust of Sunny Cali forna from their heels
 oregon and Washington immediately noticed the effects of their neighbor states action. Crime in- creased in both states, their prisons and jas soon filled and criminal crowded the dockets of all their courts.
 In order to protect themselves against such poison ing from the dregs of society Oregon and Washington enacted laws similar to Calfornas. The criminal horde began sweeping Eastward, leaving the Pacific Coast first time offenders those who considered themselves too clever for the law Some of these latter ran afoul of the habitual criminal statutes and are spending the rest of their days behind bars This example served to speed the exodus
 Faced by the same problems as Washington and Oregon had been and coming to realize that habtual criminal really effective in dealing with the crime problem the Legislatures of other states speeded similar laws through to enactment
 Now the United States has covered itself com pletely with the of the habitual criminal law, and like rats desertng ship the people these laws meant to drive out looking for new victims in greener fields.

DINNER PARTIES ARE MADE AT
 REHEARSALS
By JOAN DURHAM AP Feature Service Writer

Perfect dinner service isn't achiev- ed in day.
 It takes perseverance to train a new maid. Little errors grow into big blunders unless they're handled tactfully. The time to catch them is during dress rehearsal-not on opening night.
 Order Of Serving
 So before you set date for that dinner party you've been talking about you'd better be sure your maid knows it is correct to do these things:
 Serve the guest of honor first, other guests and the hostess in order of their seating.
 Put dishes on the table to the left of the guest, remove them from the right
 Wait until the slowest eater has finished before removing the dish es of one course to serve the next Dishes should be removed from the table singly-one in ecah hand. They may be stacked on a tray at near by serving table.
 The new maid also must learn how to pass such things as vege- table dishes She must be instructed to bend low enough so the guest can help himself conveniently, to hold the dish flat on the palm of her hand She may use a napkin to prevent hot dishes from burning her hand.
 Keep Glasses Filled
 She must have enough serving utensils. A single fork or spoon us- ually will do. But in the case of sal ads, for instance, fork and spoon will be necessary. (The fork is held in the left hand to slide the salad into the spoon, held in the right).
 The maid must remember to keep the water glasses filled, hot bread on the bread plate.
 The problem of when she is to eat her own meal must be settled. She may be told to place an extra plate in front of the person carv- ing-and take it to the kitchen when it is filled after the other guests have been served. If she pre- fers to wait until dinner has been served, she may place a cover over it to keep it warm.

 Under this configuration there may be unusual interest in naval maneuvers and increase in the num- Der of recruits.

 This is an suspicious date for pushing important matters, especi- ally the allotment of public funds and construction of bridges, roads and harbor facilities.
 Women should stay in the back ground under this configuration. They should suppress ambition to be in the limelight and avoid criti- cism of public officials.
 This is an unfortunate sway for men in authority, who may be un- fairly judged by the man in the street aa'!
