Text Of Message
The text of the message, sent by
R. c. Patterson jr., assistant secre-
tary of commerce, is as follows:
Department of commerce has le-
gal responsibility for perpetuation
of Alaska fisheries but every Alas
kan has moral responsibility as well
as personal interest in perpetuation
of this valuable resource. The sole
purpose of regulations is to assure
such perpetuation and prevent re-
currence of failure like that of 1927
when season was sharply curtailed
because of scarcity of salmon in
Southeastern Alaska.
Department hopes such drastic
action will not again be necessary
