Japan, U. s. and Alaska Salmon
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

The Daily Alaska Empire of Juneau calls atten- ton to one issue between the United States and Japan in which Alaska and the Pacific Coast states have a deep mutual interest.
 Says the Empire
 "One point we should insist upon in dealings with Tokyo is permanent settlement of the Alaskan ff-shore fishing problem Now that we hold the upper hand should see to it that Japanese poach- CTS are made to stay out of waters where Alaska salmon run This is Americas opportunity and Alaskas'
 There is as a matter of fact, comparatively little likelihood that Japan and the United States will be able to agree, in the immediate future, upon any new commercial treaty, replacing the recently can ceed treaty of 1911.
 Certainly if there is any such agreement, now .or in the tutpe it must include settlement of the Alaska salmon issue. #Rt
 In the meantime the United States must tinue on guard against any action by Japan which would result in new issues on this side of the Pacific being raised to complicate the issues n the Orient
 During the last two seasons most Japanese fisher men, by advice of their government have avoided the Bristol Bay territory during the period in which salmon are running.
 And now that Japan has achieved a settlement with the Soviet disputed Siberian fishing rights there is much less for Japanese fishermen to invade Alaskan waters
 Japan gained its Siberian fishing rights under the treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the Japan Russia war in which Nippon was vlctor
 Certainly Japan have no thought of provok- ing war to obtain fishing rights on this side of the Pacific.
 But the return of Japanese fishermen to Alaska might easily lead to clashes between the two governments.
 The issue should be settled upon permanent basis at the earliest possible moment.
 If there is a continued failure to achieve such a settlement by negotiation Congress should act to assert national jurisdiction whatever areas it is necessary to protect to preserve the fisheries for Americans, and the National government should then act to that all but Americans kept out of the

to whom the White dictatorship of Finland con- trasted unfavoraby with the golden dream of free and plenty which was said to be taking tangible form in Soviet Russia
 The years belied both the nightmare and the dream The White dictatorship turned into a re- public which energetically to work to break up large andholdings, to encourage cooperatives, to preserve forests from destruction at private hands to create national community which would com mand unfeigned loyalty The of these en- deavors has been measured recent battlefelds, where the Films have fought as slave army in history ever fought The Finnish spirit of today is represented in the magnanimty and moderation Of President Kallio's speech last week in which he again offered to- settle the dispute with Russia by
 peaceful negotiations and again regretted the tragic necessity of destroying people innocent of this war, people we have no reason to hate as nation"
 And what is the reply of the Government of the golden dream? It's official newspapers kissing the dust at Stans feet in sabject abasement, refer to the Films as "barditss and scum" fit only to be extermnated. Its soldiers, ragged freezing, hun gry their best leaders wiped out their political com missars whipping them on, are trying to invade a land which asked only for peace Its aviators are killing civilians In Washington the Soviet Ambas- sador protests to State Department against the reference to his countrymen "serfs in speech by an American oIlclal But py so oolllg ne reecIS or his people their and only hope of grace-namely, that the people of Russia not free agents in this brutal assault upon Finland but driven like serfs to a task against which their hearts rebel
 The freedom which set the people of Lenin- grad Moscow to dancing in the streets has been surrendered to crude Oriental despot. The "tyran- ny" of Mannerheim has grown into something for which proud and humble workers and peasants un- complaningy lay down their lives. Perhaps the explanation lies in this fact that the Films never accepted the doctrine that todays savagery hypocrisy and intolerance are justified by tomorrows dubious Utopia Finland is not Utopia It is simply coun- try in which the common man has learned what he could not learn in Russia or in Germany-that the wel-beng, freedom and self-respect of the living generation are the best foundation for the future

SHOWS FEM

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 16-At 38, Miss Ruth Schrader was informed she was too old" for the job she sought.
 So today, at AT, she heads her own hosiery sales firm, employing 30 women-some past 38, too.
 Miss Schrader was an office work CT in 1880, but her employer folded up in the depression. She turned to an employment agency. There she heard her age made her chanc- es of getting job negligible. She sold neckties, bath salts, hosidy, even Christmas trees, all on com mission. She saved a little.
 On the theory that Columbus took a chance" Miss Schrader in- vested in budding hosiery business. She's not getting rich, but getting along
 Tt seems that after a girl reaches the gutter she can get plenty of help" says Miss Schrader, recalling her early sales experiences. But as for the woman who is trying to keep out, people just don't want to be bothered"

ALASKANS FLY

In Alaska and the nation air transportation con- tnues to grow rapidly. We learned recently in the annual Customs report of Collector James J Con- nors that Alaska planes in 1889 carried more pas sengers flew more miles and transported more mail and freight than before And there were 20 more planes in service than in the previous year
 Now the national figures have been announced showing that domestic transport lines carried 21oO, GOO passengers in 1939 as compared with 1,17600O in 1888 striking illustration Of the air-minded- ness of Aaskans is furnished by a comparison of the Territorial and national figures. Last year AL aska planes carried 1899 passengers, about half the population of the Territory. In the entire Unit ed States only one out of every 60 persons flew
 Miles flown by national airlines totaled 82,554239 an increase of IS, percent over the previous year In Alaska planes flew 3,2S2931 miles 80 times as far on a population basis.
 Better than the great gain in plane use nation ally however is the fact that accompanied by 8 remarkable advance in the safety record There were only two fatal accidents the domestic lines in the whole year For the last nine months the constant shuttle qf swift wings oyer the routes that criss-cross the cotinent Accomplished without serious injury to single passenger or member of crew This record, with contra-seasona1 gains in December disposes of the myth that Winter flying under proper control, is dangerous. It is splendid tribute to the coordination accomplished by the meteorologists the maintenance men and the fly ing personnel of the lines themselves, under the comnon-sense regulation of the Civil Aeronautics Authority
 Important to the continued health of air trans port was the increase 42 percent, in revenue passenger miles flown rising percentage of seat occupancy is the real yardstick of successful opera tion in passenger service. IL is clearly indicated by this wide margin of additional gain in revenue passenger miles Equally encouraging are the CAA ,sInr flown reached more than 5.40oO0oO00 an incrase of 24 percent the air express traffic in 1888 All in all the arlines have reason to be proud Of their years performance.

 but do rot compel
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IT.

Kindly stars rule most of today. The planets encourage spiritual consciousness. It is a fortunate sway for the clergy who will ex- tend their duties greatly in the line of wholesale helpfulness to those in distress.
 Heart and Home: Women should be extremely fortunate today. It is time for preparation, since there is an aspect presaging much acti- vity outside the home. Depressing foreign news will inspire practical service in raising money and in providing supplies for the unfortu- nate of other lands. This is a prom ising rule of the stars for love af- fairs. The current young man friend is apt to take things ser iously.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Banks may be inclined to tighten the grip on money, although loans to manu- lecturers will be widespread. Slight recessions in various industries are forecast for coming months, but trade will be fair and employment more gneral than in 1889. Debt collections may be slow owing to a growing American habit of using cash for travel and amusements, while allowing creditors to wait.
 National Issues: Many men and women of varied viewpoints will dis turb the plans of political parties Healing of old Democratic sores may be only temporary. The stars indicate that the planetary influ- ences which make dictators possi- ble will affect party leaders and give President Roosevelt extraor- dinary power in the future
 International Affairs: The stars seem to presage for Hitler's in- creased recklessness in his war campaign policies. This is a month of sinister possibilities. Con1peti- tion between the two leading dicta- tors will bring about amazing re- suits in which Stalin will show his treacherous character. August of this year is to be a month of su- preme importance in world bis tory. ssGf
 Persons whose birthdatea it is have the augury of year nESuc- cess. There is a forecast of travel. The young will have happy TO- mances.
 Children born on this day will be mentally and physically courag- eous. They will be ambitious and industrious. Aviators belong to this sign.

FEBRUARY 16, l92O
 Judge Robert w. Jennings of the United States District Court rem dered his decision in the famous case brought by John Tuppela against the Chichagof Mining Co. in favor of the defendant company. The suit was for part interest in cer- tain mining claims, one of which had produced $966,oOO in gold since 1917.
 Coal estimated to reach 150 tons crashed through the center part of the City Dock the previous night after the Canadian Pacific steamer Ena had finished unloading. It was believed that a weak piling in the center of the dock gave away.
 All danger from wholesale epi- demic of influenza was thought to be passed, and while City and Ter ritorial health officials were reluc- tant to predict date on which quarantine regulations would be lifted. the inference was drawn that it would not be many days. Local weather sharks were pug zled. Their signals were crossed. A few days ago the wild geese brought forth confident prediction of a cold wave. The next day dozen rob- ins, harbingers of Spring, arrived.
 Mrs. H. M. McEvoy, census enum- orator, said that she was to be at the Gastineau Hotel for the pur- pose of completing the enumera ton of the guests of that place, and that this was to be the last canvass made there.

parachute jumping reached the pro-

From time to time, dispatches and
pictures showed the emphasis the
Russians seemed to be putting on
