Congress Thursday had the rec
ommendation Of the house mer-
chant marine and fisheries
committee that herring fishing in
Alaska be stopped entirely.
The report stated the herring
supply for oil. meal and fertilizer
is virtually deplete.
At the same time. the committee
urged a thorough and exhaustive
scientific study be made of salmon
trapping.
However. no recommendation Tor
adjustment of traps was made
and it was pointed out that such
a move would undoubtedly result
only in the increase of purse
seiners and gill-netters.
The committee also urged legis-
lation be devised to strengthen the
prohibitions against illegal fishing.
II reported the state department
should continue handling the prob
lem of offshore fishing by foreign
interests, particularly japanese.

The Cuban Conference

Inc Conference lot American govern
ments, now meeting In Cuba, is a signif-
cant gathering The delegates assembled
there for the purpose Of devising ways
and means of preserving the trade and
territorial rights of South and North
America have upon them a gigantic task
which enlarges with the fact that some
of the South American republics are
known to regard the movement luke
warmly. While great unanimity Of action
is reported from the sessions the United
States must not become too optimistic over
results at this early date. Chile, which is
known to hold warm feelings for German
ideals, joined Mr. Hull in his measures
but warned that America must not depart
too far from her policy of friendliness to
all peoples. This appears to be but
subtle indication that Chile reserves the
right to repudiate any policy that she may
regard as unfriendly to the government

Binding South American countries to lis
at this time may not be an easy task.
Because of color and cultural differences
the United States has allowed the South
American countries to go neglected. They
consequently cultivated European contacts
which cannot be broken In moment The
countries below the Rio Grande feel
kinship for Europe that the United States
does not share. It will take more then Mr..
Hull's avowal of governmental coopera-
ton in trade and defense to erase the feel

the fact that the Convention pro-
ceeded to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt
according to schedule, the reaction

Japan Seeking Trade
Independence

The Japanese Premier has announced
that Japan is launching upon a new pro-
gram of commercial expansion that will
seek to enlarge Japan's oriental trade to
such an extent as to take up all japanese
production making it unnecessary to seek
markets In other parts of the world. Such
an announcement is significant in view of
Americas hope of beating Japan into line
by the employment Of trade threats. If
the little island of Nippon is able to make
good its plans American threats will not
only prove meaningless, they will badly
effect exports to Japan from this country.
Once again our diplomats seem to have
hold Of the wrong end Of the spoon
That Japan has an even chance to fully
put into effect program of commercial
independence seems quite likely i'll view of
her hold on Manchuria, Korea and three,
hfths Of China with her teeming millions.
Then, there is vast south sea island
trade, and the possibility of capturing
much Of India's trade while England is
engaged IN defending the mother country
against Germany 1t does indeed seem

West Fifth Street has rapidly become

one say Beale Street, Merry-makers and
traders mix freely day after day along the
lanes of this thorougfare. Then, there
are the loiterers, who do nothing but just
"loiter.' NQh, yes there is something else
that they do; they make it inconvenient
for people to worm through their mass
when they decide to clutter up the side
walk. They also make it uncomfortable
for ladies to get down the street because
of their ungentlemanly wisecracks. Yes.
this is the Avenoo. It might be good
gesture to start movement to change the
name to Back Street
But that would never do. Fifth Avenue
would really be good name, and might
help to lift the tone of things. 1t might
help ioiterers to remember that they have
women folks of their own who should be
respected 1t might help to bring a new
sense of civic pride to those who contribute
so little to real Negro business life in this

The idea for the musical, to be

desire of colored Americans to aid
the Red Cross in a material way,
thought it might best be done with

The Indispensable Man

Wendell Willkie, in recent western
talk, referred to Mr.. Roosevelt as the
indispensable man., and continued with
the trite statement that there is no place
in American politics for an indispensable
man. 1t is pity that the Democrats of
the country failed to understand this
What they did in Chicago not only indi-
Gated that they felt that the Republicans
were bereft Of good men, if they have no
one who can beat Roosevelt, it revealed
that the Jeffersonian followers are them
selves in bad way for good men, in that
Mr.. Roosevelt was the only man they could
run. If American Democrats have but
one man fit to run on the presidential
ticket, then they are to be pittied.
The most pitiful plight of the Democrats
is seen in the picture their recent conven-
tion presented. While the convention
delegates sat in Chicago the convention
was held in Washington, with the Pres-
dent debating by wire, every move made
by the delegates. Delegate Lucas of
illinois was more than right when he
indicated that it was not a free and open
convention. Had the convention delegates
enjoyed the right of free choice in voting
it is questionable whether Mr. Roosevelt
would have polled such heavy vote 1t
is believed that McNutt of Indiana would
have been the Vice Presidential Nominee.
But such are the ways of puppet conven-
tions that believe In indispensable men,"

Where Is Englands
Vaunfed Diplomacy?

For centuries it has been European
tradition to look to England to outWit her
opponents through the intracicies of di-
plomacy. Always and ever by dickering
and bidding for time and favor she van
quished her foes with a minimal output of
shot and shell.
But the world is today seeing strange
turn from this age old custom. Instead of
accepting Adolph Hitler's overtures for
peace a fine opportunity for postponing
the day Of complete war the English
hurled back the challenge Let EN- GOMEZ
This is SO odd for English statesmen Just
what is behind it? Do they know that
Germany is not really prepared to con-
quer the islands? Have they discovered
new method of defense? Or are they
merely jittery, and untitled, by reason of
fear, to cope with this crucial situation?
While no one can really answer these
questions the world is left wondering
about this new turn in English diplomacy
The great nation that once relied upon
time and intrigue seems to have lost its
adeptness. The British lion does not play
with his prey.

|BAHAMANS
PLAN WELCOME
FOR WINDSORS

NASSAU, The Bahamas (ANP)-
Fifty thousand native Bahamans
voiced their enthusiasm last week at
the appointment Of the Duke of
Windsor as governor general of the
islands. The Duke, long known for
his liberal attitude and consideration
for members of the darker races, is
expected to add as much gayety to
the smart Nassau colony as is pos
sible with the tense international
situation.
With his American-born wife, the
former Wallis Warfeld Simpson of
Baltimore, the Duke will occupy the
governors mansion at Nassau, the
capital of his new empire. A large
rambling house of white, it is ex-
pected to be the scene Of consider
able activity.
Among the representative native
Bahamans, who spoke favorably of
the Dukes appointment, were Etien-

Just One Of The
Burdens OF War

A recent despatch tells of terrible tax
boost that the English Parliament has just
made. For the period Of the war the
English people will be required to pay an
income tax of 4212 per cent, which seems
drastic indeed. But, when one considers
the mminency of the conquest of the
islands, and the loss of English freedom
the tax can hardly be regarded as a
burden
However,, under normal circumstances
one would regard forty two and one half
per cent of ones income as burden
beyond the pale of reason, and one that
free men would repudiate. AS things
stand today England must exact such
tax for the prosecution of her war defense.
Americans, who have been rebelling
against our recent tax boosts for defense,
should give pause to this new British tax.
They should also give careful thought to
the demand for clear cultivation of
friendly relations with European powers,
regardless of their ideologies It is not
necessary for this nation to butt into the
quarrels and differences of the peoples of
Europe BY maintaining a complete neu-
trality it will be possible for this nation
to enjoy the fruits of renewed commerce,
regardless of the politics of the conquerer.
The solons of the nation might give this
thought trial.
