Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1940-12-29

The sudden spectacle of a grave
national emergency has sobered
our Washington political over
lords. Events burned into their
consciousness that they were de-
pendent upon doors. not takers
like themselves, to fortify the ma
ton against the peril of foreign
attack
Consequently they have changed
their anti tune. they are no
longer holding up our foremost
men of affairs to scorn.
Not only so, but the administra-
ton. in its hour of need, has real
lied the essentially of calling to
Washington many corporation
executives to shoulder the re-
speHsibility of coping with the
national menace.

Alaska Chief Comments on
Sub-normdI Season
Now al End

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Apart
from possible minor operations, the
1910 salmon packing season in Al
aska is practically at an end ac-
cording to Ward t. Bower, Chief
CT the Alaska Division, Fish and
Wildlife Service, United States De
partment of the Interior.
Figures received from time to
time" said Bower, lead to the con-
clusion that when final results ale
tabulated, the total pack will ap-
proximate five million cases, as
against 5,263,l53 cases, or about
$4,000 cases less than the pack in
the corresponding period in 1889"
The chief decline is in the Bris-
tel Bay area. with a pack of about
100000 cases, as against pack
CT 1,l34,0OO cases last year. This
reduction was occasioned, in con-
siderable degree, by the more strin-
gent regulations necessary for con-
servation purposes.
The Alaska Peninsula area was
ahead of last year with better than
an average pack, and the Cook In
let and Prince William Sound areas
had excellent packs. Southeast Al
aska. on the whole, has been below
normal. ~

Japan Agreement
(By ASSOCIATED PRESS

The extension of the new German,
italian, Japanese pact to include
Bulgaria and thus bring stronger
pressure on Greece and Turkey, both
leaning toward Great Britain, is
suggested by italian political cir
Giles as the aims Of the Axis Powers

STA for the latter,s ill-defined po-
siticn between the union and her

Most observers are agreed shat
the principal aim is to keep the
United States out OF the European
war by increased thrtsts across the
Pacific also out OF Japans widening
way, through menace of the e-power
hookup.
Nazi Scheme
Berlin political quarters speculate
ed whether the Alliance would not
preclude the United States from
dickering with Great Britain for
the use Of any British naval base
in the Far East.
All observers however, say the
Alliance must not lose sight of the
fact the United States is up and
going in everything and must reckon
with powerful and influential
force of free peoples, who always
keeps one step ahead of any oppo-
sition, and is always prepared.
Japan's Position
The influential Tokyo newspaper
Yomiuri expresses editorial belief
the pact will keep the United
States from going to war on the
side of Great Britain but admits
the United States Is not to be
"downed by any combination Of
alliances" being most wealthy

dominatable Yankee grit and
