al waters of the Territory in which the industry is carried on, cover a vast area and the en- forcement of necessary conser- vation measures is a difficult one, particularly with a minl- mum of personnel and equip ment available therefore. Only a small proportion of the viola tions can be prosecuted, and as to many of the most fragrant violations there in insufficient evidence procurable by the en- forcement officers to support a prosecution. There is n odispo- sition on the part of this De- partment to prosecute needlessly minor and perhaps unintentional violations of the law or regula- tions, but unless there is a suf- ficient means of enforcement available to the Department the serious violations which adverse ly affect necessary conservation of the fisheries cannot be checked
 There are certain phases of the problem of enforcement which I desire to consider with the Attorney General, as the de- ection and prosecution of viola tions involve the activities of both Departments. I feel that after such consideration by the two Departments. and after the further experience of this sea- sons enforcement in Alaska, the Department will be in position to recommend definitely to the Congress such changes in the law governing such enforcement as it may find appropriate. I believe that there is not at pres ent any urgent need for the pro- posed legislation, inasmuch as there appears to have been no abuse of the right of seizure and forfeiture and have no reason to anticipate any such abuse.

Italian government was unwilling
to accept the procedure suggested"
The government Of Italy now
has chosen to preserve what it
terms its freedom of action and
10 fulfill what it states are its
promises to Germany.
What Well Do
I'm so doing ii has manifested
disregard for the rights and secur-
ity of other nations, for the lives
of the peoples Of those nations
which are directly threatened by
this spread Of the war, and has
evidenced its unwillingness to find
the means through pacific nego-
tiations for the satisfaction of
what it believes are its legitimate
aspirations.
I'm our American unity, we will
pursue two obvious and simultane-
Gus courses: We will extend to the
opponents OF force the material
resources of this nation and, at the
same time, we will harness and
speed up the use of those re-
sources. in order that we ourselves
in the Americas may have equip
ment and training equal to the
task OF any emergency and every
defense"
The program unfolds swiftly,
and into it will fit the response
bility and the opportunity of every
man and woman to preserve our
heritage in days of peril.
"I call for effort, courage, sacri-
flee, devotion. Granting the love
of freedom, all of these are pos
sible.
And the love OF freedom is still
fierce and steady in the nation
today"

Such an island may be the
dream OF those who still talk and
vote as isolationists, he declared.
Such an island represents to me
and the overwhelming majority Of
Americans today a helpless night
mare OF a people without freedom.
a people lodged in prison, hand
cuffed. hungry and fed through
the bars from day to day by the
contemptuous IMPLYING masters Of
other continents"
Praises Two Allies
Great Britain and France. in
fighting against the armies of the
totalitarian nations, are battling
for freedom with magnificent valor,
he said. Then the president de-
clared:
In our American community
We will pursue two obvious and
simultaneous courses; we will ex-
tend the opponents OF force the
material resources Of this nation.
and, at the same time, we will
harness and speed up the use OF
those resources, in order that we
ourselves in the Americas may
have equipment and training equal
to the test of any emergency Of
every defense.
Speed Is Needed
"Signs and signals call for speed
full speed ahead call for effort,
courage, sacrifice, devotion. Grant
ing the love of freedom, all Of these
are possible"
The president spoke at COM
mencement exercises of the Uni
versity of Virginia, where his son,
Franklin D.. Jr.. WAS receiving
law school degree, but his words
were directed to the world. to
which they were broadcast in seven
languages.
Perception of danger to our
institutions may come slowly or
it may come with a rush and
shock, as 1t has to people of the
United States in the past few
months" he said.
Danger Is Plain
This perception of danger has
come to us clearly and overwhelm-
ingly, and we perceive the peril in
a worldwide arena an arena
which may become so narrowed
that only the Americas would re-
tain the ancient faiths
Let us not hesitate-all Of us
to proclaim certain truths. Over
whelmingly we, as a nation, and
this applies to all the other Amer
lean nations, are convinced that
and naval victory for the
gods of force and hate would en-
danger the institutions Of democ-
racy in the western woodland

nations which are giving their life
blood in combat against these

Talks of Italy
Recently 1 proposed that If
Italy would refrain from entering
the war, l would be willing to ask
for the other powers
that they would faith
fully execute any agreement so
reached, and that Italy's voice in
any future peace conference would
have the same authority as il Italy
had actually taken part in the war
as a belligerent.
