34th ANNUAL SESSION FEDERATION OF CLUBS
| WHAT MAY
WE HATE
WHAT MAY WE HATE
by
Ruth Taylor

There are some people today who
are saying that what is lacking in
this war is good hate-that until
we begin to hate, we won't begin to
fight. They want our propaganda
keyed to a horror theme, so that our
people will be mad with rage. They
forget that mass hatred is just step
from mob hatred-and that no one
can predict on whom the mob will
turn next.
But if we cannot hate a people
what may we hate?
We may hate war. We can hate
war so much that we will fight with
every ounce of our ability to wipe it
from the earth forever-not in SER
vile withdrawal from the fight, but
in a supreme battle against those
criminals who bring desolation and de-
struction upon the peaceful peoples of
the world. We can hate war so much
that we will gladly put aside our way
of life for a while so that we may
speedily put an end to war.
We may hate intolerance. We may
hate intolerance so intensely that we
will try to stamp it out wherever it
exists, in any place in the world
toward any group, whether that group
be majority or minority. We may
hate intolerance so much that we viii
set seal upon our own lips a.d see
to # that 10 in+olorant act orr Neecl
Of ours adds flame to this funeral .ol
unity.
We may hate discrimination. We
may hate it so vehemently that we
will demand equal rights for all PEG
pie. We may hate discrimination SC
intensely that we will insist that al
people be judged upon their indivi-
dual merits and not as a group. We
may hate discrimination so sincerely
that we will never demand special
privileges for ourselves as part of
any group.
We may hate cruelty. We may
fight to the bitter end to wipe out
organized cruelty to any people any
where. We may hate treachery, de-
ceit, dishonor. We may hate it so
that we ostracize from our lives all
those who live by these practices.

Alaskan pack will be down at least 8 third this year-well over 2,OOO, 900 cases less.
 Predictions are less certain for the Washington and Oregon Colum- bian River salmon catch and the West Coast tuna haul. But the same factors affecting the drastic Alas kan curtailment are at work all along the coast to some degree with the added headache of finding skilled workers to replace, the very large proportion of Japanese and Italian fishermen operating the West Coast fishing fleets and can- neries.
 SUBMARINE
 MENACE IS BIG
 The submarine menace is only one of the many body-blows dealt the hourishing. fish industry by the war. The fuel shortage is also a factor-particularly for the larger boats, like the tuna clippers" which customarily go out on 2 or 3 month cruises as far south as the strategic Galapagos of the coast of Equador. Then there is the big risk involved for floating equip ment in potential war zones, which makes insurance expensive and hard to replace. Besides, unless priorities are granted, big expen- sive machinery like tuna hoists are almost impossible to get. Alaska further has to cope with dire cur- tailment of cargo space in which to ship her canned products to the states.
 Prices on canned and frozen fish have risen, some as much as 45 per cent since March, 194l. The price ceiling may help, but 1t can't in- crease the small supply.
