kans in receiving overseas credit for discharge.
 Governor Gruening and Dele gate Bartlett also stressed the inn portance of a change in the War Departments policy concerning dependents of military personnel in the Territory and urged upon Secretary Patterson that families of men serving in Alaska be all lowed to join them.
 Commissioner of Agriculture for Alaska, G. w. Gasser, joined Governor Gruening and Delegate Bartlett in their conference with Secretary of Agriculture Ander- son. A program for intensive ag- ricultural research in Alaska, greater than ever before, was pre- sented to the Secretary for inclu- sion in the budget for the next fiscal year.
 The present and future policies of the Department of Labor in Alaska were discussed by the Governor and Delegate Bartlett in their conference with Secretary Schwellenbach.

JURISDICTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES ON HIGH SEAS

Upon the recommendation of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Interior, the Pres ident has proclaimed the jurisdic- tion of the United States over the natural resources of the continen- tai shelf under the high seas con- tiguous to the coasts of the United States and it's territories, and has provided for the establishment of conservation zones for the pro- lection of fisheries in certain areas of the high seas contiguous to the United States.
 Such action, it is believed, will enable the United States to pro- tect the valuable Alaska fisheries from indiscriminate fishing. It was stated that through pains taking conservation efforts and scientific management the United States has made excellent prog ress in maintaining the salmon at high levels. However, since the salmon spends a considerable DOT tion of it's life in the open sea, un- controlled fishery activities on the high seas, either by nationals of the United States or other coun- rites, have constituted an ever present menace to the salmon fishery"
 Generally speaking, the contin- metal shelf is submerged land contiguous to the continent and covered by no more than 600 feet of water. International law recog- nizes ownership of submerged land up to the three-mile limit, but the continental shelf, now proclaimed to be under the juris- diction of the United States, ex- tends in many instances far be- yond the three-mile limit.

ment insurance systems would in that case be held sponsible for retarding reemployment
 The predcament in which the Territorial and State insurance systems find thmeselves is quite serious Generally speaking, they have common sense rule to guide their decisions to the suitability of new job offers. For instance job may be refused without dis qualifying the jobseeker for insurance benefits if wages hours other conditions of work are substan taly less favorable than those prevailing for similar work in the locality That of course takes of where the worker is shifted from concern to other doing much the same type of work But it leaves
 lot of questions unanswered concerning the status of the worker who may have acquired special skills and may accordingly resent being asked to take job requiring less skill and paying less.
 To rush man into new job without giving him time to look about him would be unfair; to give him too much leeway would be unwise Allowance of reason able period for adjustment to changed conditions, and payment of unemployment benefits for few weeks, without too much questioning of the insured mans n tentons, would appear to be sensible solution But workers will have become reconced to cuts in take home pay with the return to the shorter working week and shrinkage of employment in highly paid wage brackets They won't better their lot by trying to exist on unemployment benefits, assuming official com placence in face of such imposition

RETIREMENT OF ALASKA JUDGES

The House Committee on the Judiciary has reported favorably with amendment the Senate bill which extends retirement privil- eges to the judges of Alaska, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and the Canal Zone.
 The legislation provides that up- on reaching the age of 70, after having served eight aggregate years on the bench, a Federal judge of the District Courts men, toned will be eligible for retire ment and will receive annually sum equal to such proportion of the salary received by him at the date of retirement as the total of his aggregate years bears to the period of sixteen years.
 The bill passed the Senate con- taining the provision that service must total ten aggregate years, but the House Committee has amended this to read eight years.

JOB-SEEKERS
(Alaska Daily Empire)

To qualify for receipt of unemployment benefits idle workers must be bonade job-seekers That means that they must be prepared to accept suitable work Re- fsa of such work dsqualfies them for receipt of bene fits Difficult questions sometimes arise in the deter animation of what constitutes suitable work even under normal conditions. However, the problems created by the demobzation of vast numbers of war workers who have been earning unprecedented high wages are ex-
 entionav knotyt ones In fact reports from various parts of the country show that bitter disputes have a ready arisen the interpretation to be given to the phrase suitable employment.
 Some labor leaders maintain that workers who refuse lower-payng peaceme jobs entitled to draw unen- plovment benefits matter of right They protest that to withhold benefits under such circumstances is to make the administrator of unemployment insurance party to a plot for depressing wages. On the other hand unemployment insurance funds were to be dis bursed to maintain thousands of workers in idle ness because they harbor hope of getting new jobs paying as much their old ones funds would be dissi- pated at an alarming rate. Moreover, the unmepoy-

 Revision of the point system for discharge of Alaskans serving in the Territory was urged by Gov ernor Gruening and Delegate Bartlett in their conference with Secretary of War Patterson.

NO DIFFICULTY HERE

Inasmuch as Alaska seems to be the Land ot Prom ise and the topic before which all other topics take second place, good time to do our shouting for the future is right now.
 The High Road and the Low Road across Alaskan aranes to create quite stir both Tn Alaska ana in the States.
 The southern route in all fairness, should be the coastal route from Seattle other major city on the coast touching at southeastern, southern and sout western points in Alaska enroue to the Orient to some terminal city designated in the certificate by the CAB
 The northern route which will eventually be cert- fled from the midwest United States to North Chna Russia and connecting with the European ana Mloole East routes will of necessity fly over Nome ana ar banks on the shortest route.
 There seems to be miX-up in the information re- leased as to just who wants what in the airaneS To sum up what has been released to the present time Seattle should be the mainline outlet the coast to the Orlen and possibly Chicago or the twin-ctes the Midwest outlet to Russia and North China, with the mtercon- meeting triangle routes being Nome, Anchorage and Fairbanks
 It would then be possible for person to travel from Chicago to Russia or North China through plane, or to transfer at either Fairbanks Nome to Anchor age where he could catch plane to the Orient Like wise person flying from Seattle could make the trans fer at Anchorage to catch the northern route plane at either Fairbanks or Nome.
 This we believe would simplify the planning of 1u- tre air routes for the airline companies now serving Alaska and provide direct route to the east TOT Alas kans who live on this great circle route
 These routes would in way impair the service the Territory is now receiving from the alrlnes serving Alaska but will surely create more business TOT tneSe airlines.
