the Mayors Of seven cities. They
all said the work relief program
with the Federal money, which is
its chief support, prevented the COL

law in order to preserve our fish cries industry and protect the en- plcyment of thousands of fishermen and cannery workers, Allen said that there is no reason why we should hesitate to do so. He said that the continental shelf is really just sub merged margin of the continent, and that while it is under water it is still part of our continent.
 Tt is wholly illogical to say that we may protect fisheries only up to three miles from our shore and that some one outside that three miles can come along and completely destroy the entire result of ouI protection" he said
 Concluding his talk, Allen said that the Department of State is fully alive to the situation and en- tirely sincere in its desire to work out solution He pointed cut, how ever, that the Department is subject to a great deal of pressure to handle European questions. Tt is therefore necessary for the people of the Pacific Coast to keep this question alive if we are to get the desired results lie said

THERE'S A TIE UP

THERE'S A TIE-UP
 That would tie in with the Japa- nese seizure of Hainan. Is this seizure first step in joint Japa- rese German action against the Netherlands and her East Indian colonies? That problem causes the Hainan case to be examined close ly by this country For Japan to get hold of any large section of the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies, due south of Hainan, would be factor of prime importance to the United States relations in the Pacific.
 Thus the situation rambles-half way around the world--but the ends tie together If Japan is in a tight military alliance with Ger many, then the Hainan seizure adds weight to rumors of an invasion of Holland. (And England might easi- ly go to war to prevent Germany becoming so near neighbor across the North Sea-
 If Japan is not in such an alli- ance, then the Hainan seizure could be accepted as just an oppor- tunist action on her part. Maybe she simply saw a chance to carry a threat against both French and English Indian possessions in pro- test against their shipping arms to China. And took the step oppor- tunely when England and France were much embroiled over the Spanish business.

Best Christmas Business
Since 1929 Is Predicted

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). - The
best volume of Christmas business
since the boom year 1929 is predicted
by government economists.
Consumers, they say, have more
money to spend than any time in the
last 10 years and are showing a
greater willingness to buy.
The economists, who have access to
current business reports, said that
while dollar volume of Christmas sales
will be the highest for the Roosevelt
administration, it will still be sub
stantially below that for December,
1929. However, they added, the
quantity sold will compare favorably
with the pre-new deal boom year.
