PROTECT ALASKA'S SALMON

Today's Washington Merry Co., Round column comments British acquiescence, eagerness in stretching the outmoded concept of three-nlie limit by some ee7 miles All through her recent history England has insisted that three miles at sea is the limit of territorial waters. The nsstence was predicated largely upon the fact that such limit favorable to British commercial and fishing interests. Now that limit of 1000 miles, in the case of the North Atlantic patrol belt might save the British empire by safeguarding Englands prec- cargoes from America find the British only too glad to agree that 1000 miles, after all, is not too far for power to reach out to sea protection of it's interests
 We not writing this with the idea of con- demning or kidding the English for their about face The time is too serious for that. We don't blame them for doing their utmost at all times to benefit their own people and their interests We should do the same. Our purpose in pointing out the change in the British attitude is to com ment the beneficial effect that change might have Alaska's fisheries.
 For a number of years, far-seeing men have been advancing and seeking to have accepted the theory that Alaska territorial waters, far the protection of Alaska salmon concerned should tend far out from the shore necessary for complete safeguarding of this great fisheries re- source. Among these have been Edward w. Allen Seattle member of the International Fisheries Commission, and Alaska Delegate Anthony j. Dimond.
 Alien fishermen, anchoring their floating can- neries and stretching their nets well outside the threemile limit able to deplete the annual runs of salmon in Bristol Bay and elsewhere thus threat enng not only the present but the future abundance of the fish It is conceivable, if such fishing were continued intensivey over number of years, that this great Alaska resource might be wiped out en- trely The alien fisherman, of course, pays heed to the conservation regulations which we impose upon fishermen in order to insure perpetua- tion of the runs. His object is to catch and take away as many fish as he can every year.
 In the past the theory that United States pro- lection of Alaska salmon could go only as far as the three-mile limit has worked hardship on us. Those who have sought to have the concept of ter

scientific work in progress on U 235, a uranium iSotope, which if suc- cessfully produced in sufficient quantity will revolutionize world sources of power.
 This fabulous substance, discov- cred two years ago, is produced by subjecting metal uranium. to a pro- cess of atom smashing. One pound of it, combined with ordinary water, would release energy enough to take the place of millions of gallons of oil or millions of tons of coal So far, however, it has been isolated only in minute quantities.
 Laboratory research on a method of producing U 235 in amounts large enough for practical use is going on "A hours day behind locked doors at Columbia University and the University of California, which are equipped with atom smashing cy- clotrons. In rushing their secret experiments, U. s. scientists know they are in a race with the Nazis.
 German researchers also are working day and night to produce the same magic element. In fact, military experts are convinced that one motive for Hitler's seizure of Denmark last year was the experi- ments being carried on by Dr. Neils Bohr, Nobel Prize winner of the University of Copenhagen. He did the original work on U 235.
 In this Hateful race, the United States and Canada fortunately have an abundance of raw material. They possess almost inexhauStible quan- titles of uranium bearing ores, such as p'tchblende. The Great Lakes region of Alberta abounds in pitch blende while large deposits are also found in Utah and Colorado. However, Hitler's occupation of Czcchoslovakia provided him with an abundant supply, too. It was pitchblende ore from Bohemia that was used by the Curies in their re- search leading to the discovery of radium.

Women and Defense
Cincinnati Enquirer)

That women well as men are moblizng for defense is attested by the fact that the American Women's Voluntary Services already has enrolled 10000 members in 40 units This organization which maintains headquarters in New York, concentrates upon marshalng trained to supplement, and if necessary to take over, much work being done now by men, as.q ts+5e3 te as e
 Although the services modelled after the British group of the same name, which has trained more than million women for variety of tasks the American organization has borrowed only some of the modes of training and organization, then adapted these to needs.
 In addition to offering courses in communal feeding, nutrition, first aid and nursing, the ices branch out into fields hitherto considered the less exclusive province of males. There are classes, for example in map reading, automobile pairing techniques of communication, and agricul- ture.
 It is to be hoped that the women volunteers will not be called to practice their skills under the conditions of crisis for which they preparing That they are preparing shows how democracy can be alert how its members organize comparatively and how they will assume new responsibilities to maintain its integrity.

 Heart and Home: This is one of the days when women gain through subtle or hidden methods. It is a time for those with ability and well-poised minds to attain influ- ence through unselfish service. In the home and in public affairs women will exercise real power. Young and old now will seek ways to aid national defense plans and will perform important tasks ably. Many girls will put on uniforms as they take over skilled work in fac- tories and hospitals.
 Business Affairs: With the rising tide of prosperity, communities with far vision now will seek eco- homie independence. Home gardens will be planted, but the real agri- cultural demonstrations will be made in village or town plots. As food becomes of more and more | importance. waste will be checked in American homes.

to nearby submarines, usually lying in nests of three or four, awaiting signals.
 When the submarines attack, one usually acts as decoy and draws the British warships off to one side, while other Nazi subs drive in for the kill. That, plus the fact that 20 or 30 merchant vessels now travel in convoy train, is one reason why ship casualties have been so heavy.
 From their vantage point above the water, airplanes can look down upon submarines lurking below the surface, and if the weather is clear, can spot them miles away The Navy has some airplanes especially equipped for this type of patrol work, carrying eight depth bombs each.
 Some planes also carry new submarine detector which can pick up the sound waves from undersea motors. A few of these planes, sold to the British, were used in the Mediterranean and partly explain why the British Navy suffered SC little damage from submarines in that area.
 The Navy and Coast Guard plan to use this aerial technique in the western Atlantic, leaving the east ern Atlantic to British patrol. Pa trolling the eastern Atlantic from the air is not difficult for the British, since they can base theil planes on land, in fact have beer operating such patrols for some time.
 Big question of course is: How far out at sea will American planes and ships patrol?' Judging by the hints President Roosevelt dropped last week, the l,000-mile limit vii be subject to considerable stretch ing.
