large number of physicists have grown tired of the atom and have begun playing with potentially much powerful force, the cosmic ray. These ants be depended to put the world out of it's misery ere long.
The Nome nugget., 1946-03-01
FRIDAY, MARCH, 1, 1946

"The representation that restric- tive action on the industry by government would be inimical to our free enterprise scarcely com ports with the facts. No other commercial operation, possibly, is sO dependent upon government. Free enterprise, as the term is commonly used, ended when gov ernment first stepped in with reg ulatory devices.
 Many industries in this coun- try remain in good financial po- sition and are highly prosperous although they do not control their sources of supply. I suspect the same would be true of the salmon industry if control of every last trap and every other piece of gear were in other hands. Contracts could be made-and would be made to insure continuing flow of fish during the packing season.
 "I especially desire to endorse that section of the proposed regu- lations which would give resident Alaskans preferential status. They are clearly entitled to it. The Territory's development will be speeded if they are given it. And most praiseWorthy of all is the provision making it possible for communities and cooperatives to become premit holders. That would represent true progress.
 "A while ago I stated the proS posed regulations do not provide an ideal solution. Allow me to elaborate on that. The solution is obvious. The control of the Alaska fishery should be turned over to the Territorial government of Alaska. As we all know, it was intended this should be done when our organic act was written. But special interests prevented the realization of this policy, which would have been in harmony with what had been in other places and in earlier times. The people of Alaska would protect the fishery and, in my judgment, would make more money available for. con- servation of the resource than the federal government does. I hope the Interior Department, ev- cry other federal department hav- ing an interest, the Congress, and, assuredly, the canned salmon in dustry will join with me in bring ing this about"
