Cap of Salmon Found To Be Standard Pantry Item
 In Most American Homes

ington, D. C., tied for second place with 35.3 per cent of the homes having a suppiy uI Jnls canned fish.
 San Francisco, California, center of a busy fresh fish and sea food industry, was the lowest city studied so far as number of homes having canned salmon on tn e ir pantry shelves is concerned Only 733 of the 4,234 homes examined bOasted a can of salmon among their food supplies.
 The average city proved to be Columbus, Ohio Columbus wa s ninth from the top in the list of 16 cities. The percentage of homes hay ing salmon available in the home was 28.3, which most closely paral- led the average of 28.7 per cent for all cities studied.
 One Pound Average
 An interesting point in connection with supplies of canned salmon available was the fact that in all cities studied, the amount of sal mon on hand was virtually uniform at approximately one pound. The average amount for all l6 cities was 1.O1 cans. The lowest average for any city was 100 can, while the highest average figure for any city was 102 cans.
 In the 94 per cent of the farm homes where salmon is served reg ularly, 28 per cent serve canned salmon dish once week Nearly three fourths of the farm families enjoy canned salmon from one to four times a month. The average number of times canned salmon is served in these farm homes is three and half times a month.

CANNED
 SALMON

Among other things, the accom- plishments of the Internationa Fisheries Commission and the pros poets of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission ar, at stake.
 No Regulation
 Japan has contenoed that it's yes sels are entitled to fish off oui coasts providing they remain at least three miles off shore. Japanese fish, ermen do not observe the conserva- tion methods required of United States and Canadian fishermen Consequently, should the Japanese be allowed to carry out their plans to carry on unrestricted fishing ad- jacent to our coasts, they could well make useless the sound regulatory measures adopted by the United States and Canada. Should the Japanese be permitted to do this it would be unjust to our fishermen to enforce the restrictions against them, and many fisheries would be commercially destroyed in a short time
 Moreover, the standard of living of Japanese fishermen is so much lower than that of ours that di- rect competition in the same field of operation would certainly have an injurious effect upon our fish ermen.
 Temporary Understanding
 When the matter came to head in I937, our State Department was urged to do two things, first, secure some immediate relief from the ten- sion, second, work out permanent solution. The Department is en- titled to commendation for securing a temporary understanding with Ja- pan by which the floating salmon canneries were withdrawn. But the agreement is only temporary in na- ture, and Japan carefully refused to give up any of her claims.
 Although in 1888 and 1889 some Japanese fishing vessels entered Bristol Bay, probably for the purpose of bolstering Japan's claims in any future dispute, and then withdrew, it is unlikely that Japan will raise the issue while its hands are full in China. But now while Japan is thus occupied would seem to be favor able time for the United States to press for a permanent recognition of our right to protect our coastal fisheries regardless of the distance from shore required in order to make such protection effective.

 Japan's threat to the permanency of Alaskas basic industry, the fish, cries, aroused not only Alaskans but all people in the United States who understood the situation. Many people, however, even some in high official places, did not realize how serious was the threat. Danger to- day turks in the belief, altogether too prevalent, that the matter has been settled. It has not.
 The recent termination of the trade treaty between Japan and this country has made many Fasteners conscious that international prob lems are not confined to the At

Deep sea fishes sometimes fall up" into lighter pressure areas and are unable to get back down again due to expansion of air bladders. This also accounts for the pop-eyed appearance of deep sea fish when brought to the surface.

Dog fish, a species of the shark family, get their name from the fact that they hunt in packs. Dog fish are common in the vicinity of salmon canneries during canning season.

Alaskans In Hawaii Ii Find Place Busy

that she has run across several Alaskans in the land of Coco Palms and steel guitars. Her let ter, telling conditions on the is lands and Alaskans there, fol- lows:
 Things are bustling in this metropolis in the Pacific. Ten years ago when first came to Hawaii little did I know what progressive changes were to take place on this enchanting island of Aahu on which Honolulu is butt. From a quiet, placid town where business was carried on in casual, slow-moving manner, to a large city called appropriately the Crossroads of the Pacific" Sugar and pineapples are of course our largest industries, though the tourists brought flaw since the European war bring gr-at deal of revenue into the Territory.
 Many Newcomers
 "The city's population has been increased by the thousands of skilled workers brought from the as we in Hawaii call the states to work on the various government defense projects. Pearl Harbor Naval Base has the of this influx though proportionate number are work ing on similar jobs in the Equa- torial Islands where coral atolls are being cleared, their lagoons dredged in preparation for air bases.
 Additional troops, army and navy with their families have al so increased our population. As if this were not enough to cause a serious housing problem, comes the news of the American evac- uation from the Orient. Many of these refugees plan to stay in Honolulu. Yesterday the huge liner Washington passed thru here having on our shores some 1900 men.
 Meets Alaskans
 Quite by accident I ran into Jack Whaley of Nome, who was a former student at Fairbanks University. Jack along with his friend Bill Ryerson arrived a few months ago. They are work ing at Pearl Harbor Navy Base. Three nights a week they attend the Government school in Naval Engineering with opportunity for advancement in hip-fitting. The two young men have also joined an amateur Scotch band, Jack the drums and Rysrson the The boys have an apart ment (Jack calls 1t a cabin) and keep house, driving to work in the same jallopy in which they traVeled over the United States, Canada and Mexico. They are vlry fond of the beach and swim whenever possible. Both have be come quite tanned and like Ha- waii very much.
 ''Two Carsten brothers, Thom- as C. who is a salesman for the Star-Bulletin and E J connected with F L Waldron Go. Ltd. are living in Honolulu. They form1rly lived in Nome where .heir father operated a butcher ship and meat business. I be- 'ieve they left Nome around 1910
 "A former Alaskan girl, the former Harriet Malstrom, now Mrs. Frank Kernohan lives at the Kam-hameha Boys School. I have been asked to look her up.
 "The few months I spent in Al aska last year have given me the desire to live there perman- antly so do not be surprised to see me in your town early next spring.
 Being subscriber to your in teresting paper I thought per haps your readers might be pleas ed to hear news of Alaskans now living in Hawaii sister territory to Alaska.
 Best wishes from a Cheechac- co in Hawaii, willing to be a real Sourdough.

read to the Senate military committee

General Pershing said compulsory
training could have saved thousands

At present, he said, such meas
ure in my opinion would promote
democracy by bringing into intimate
contact and on an equal plane young
men in all walks Of life"
Moreover, he added it might we'll
be the determining factor in keeping
