 U. S. EXPERIMENT
Fish and WiIdIife Service Expedition Returns
 10 Seattle

Back to Seattle from a success ful three-month skirmish with the elusive giant King crab of Alaska waters have come the floating can nery Tondeleyo and the fishing boat Dorothy, two of three sent north in September on a pioneering deep sea adventure by the Fish and Wildlife Service, United States De- partmant of the Interior.
 Congress authorized the expedi- tica for scientific and experimental commercial purposes. Sale of the canned product will be by public auction and the proceeds turned over to the United States Treas ury. Chief purpose of the three vessel venture, according to the Service. is ito encourage the de- velCpment of an American crab meat industry by obtaining prac- tical information on production costs, and scientific data on areas where Alaska King crab abound determining the most efficient and economical methods for catching and packing them"

 Staffed by 40 scientists, econo- mists and experts in the craft of

will report upon all economic and competitive phases of the study. Other experts have gone along to report on the best types of fishing gear for catching the giant crabs, canning methods, and utilization of shells and waste as by-Produets. Meteorological data also are being gathered for the United States Weather Bureau.
 A sample of the first pack land- ed in Alaska before the return of the fleet was sent to Washington recently and tested in the food laboratories of the Service by rep resentatives of wholesale food dis tributors. They were asked to re- port to the Government depart ment their opinions on the quality of the product, how well it was packed, whether it retained it's color, it's flavor, and how well It had been cleaned. Details for its wholesale and retail distribution will not be decided upon until after the expedition returns next year with the principal portion of the catch.
 Japanese Cash In
 For many years, this country has been an important user of canned crab meat. Importation has come mainly from Japan, whose fisher men have been taking King crabs from Alaskan and Japanese waters on a large scale for better than 10 years, while American fishermen have virtually ignored this impor-| tant resource in their own waters. In 1939, the United States pur- chased over $3,750,000 worth of the Japanese exports. or about half their total production; and up to Netoher 1940. we had purchased over $3,000,00O worth. This compares wluh total United States imports

of canned crab meat last year of about $4,5O0,000
 The sporadic attempts by Ameri- can industry to develop this fish, cry in the past have been unsuc- cessful. This, Service scientists ex- plain, has been due mainly to lack Of information concerning the best fishing areas and any know ledge of a catching and packing technique. If the present venture proves successful, private firms in the United States may be encour- aged to enter this fishery.

he cannot because he knows that the
response would be a derision more

To say that it is not necessary for

to admit inability to trace a chain
of causes back farther than the sec

saying that a man should try to make
himself likable. Can anyone be so
stupid as to suppose that this obvious
idea has not occurred to the unfor-

BY JANET K HOWE
Research Associate, American Council
Institute of Pacific Relations
Australia, whose entrance into the
industrial field has been very recent,
is now engaged in a program of large
scale production that will permanent
ly change the whole basis of her
economic structure.
Although it is too soon to judge the
exact effects of the war on Australian
labor, the trend is toward longer hours
and greater employment. A strenuous
effort is being made to maintain a
balance between wages and cost Of
living but the situation is growing
constantly more difficult.
Before the war the normal working
hours were "A hours for days and
wages were about $40 to $23 week
for the metal trades. Since the war
engineers have been working 12-hour
shifts for 72-hour week; overtime
has jumped their wages to around
$40 a week. Toolmakers and copper
smiths often work the entire weekend,
and boilermakers now average 56 to
60 hours a week.
The basic or minimum wage estab-
lished by the courts is $14.50 for Sgd
ney and Melbourne Slightly less for
other districts) Overtime and mar
gins for skill have greatly increased
the actual amounts received.
In spite of the rise in nominal
wages, however, there has been a
slight fall in real wages during the
first year of the war. The cost of liv-
ing has risen 4.796 and the induces for

ficult processes, increases which In
turn would stimulate initiation still
further) But If it goes on long enough
initiation catches up with everybody
Moreover, the means of controlling 1t
in an arms economy is not much more
pleasant than the thing itself. For
the alternative is rigidly regimented
consumption.
Although the u. S. is a long way
short of runaway initiation, plenty of
danger signs are around. Things
have moved a little faster than gov
eminent economists had anticipated.
Since January l the daily index Of
twenty-eight staple commodities pub
lished by the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics has risen 1914 percent, which is
we'll in excess of the level reached
during the temporary speculative
boom that occurred after the war be-
gan in September 1889. By March
level Other commodity indexes have
shown similar upward trend and
they are still going up. AS is pointed
out in the National City Banks April
Bulletin, this does not mean that the
situation is already out of hand. In
general, prices have not yet reached
their 1897 levels, and the cost of liv
ing has not risen very much. Nor is
every individual rise in price initiation
airy. Moreover, the general price in
crease is partly speculative-due to
the fact that many business firms
have been buying heavily to hoard
against still figher prices in the fu-
ture. But to admit that real in
flationary level has not been reached
is not to deny that the danger is
there
