RtGUt VIOLATED

Clarence nhode, Fish and '1i1dlife pilot who returned a short time ago from three weeks patrol of fishing waters in South eastern waters stated that a::-record number of fisher men had been tagged this year for fishing vio1at- ions.
 About seventy men were charged with violat- ing the fishing laws this season. The game comm ission had moro mon and equipment in patrol this year than ever before according to !l-r. Rhode.
 Due to the poor sea- son many fishermen tried to fish illegaly and it is the job of the Fish and ,I1idlife Service to patro1 the fishing grounds and make arrests for th6 c violating the lays and rcgul ations.

BIASED ALASKA LABOR OFFICIAL

It is high time that certain officials of the United States Department of Labor are made aware Of the fact that public servants they are charged to represent and to serve all of the public and not just element
 By that we mean that the Department should represent management well as labor, non-union laborers as well as union laborers and keep mind the general public.
 At the last session of Congress- acting upon the demand of the American people Congress adopted new labor legislation. the Taft-Hartley Labor Act, designed to correct many of the evils in labor union practices to protect all classes of workers in their right to work and to place some legal responsibility upon labor unions as well as employers
 The provisions of this law with the teeth" in them go into effect next Friday.
 In Alaska, the man responsible for the en- forcement of the Taft Hartley is Michael j. Haas, Alaska representative for the U. s. Department of Labor.
 At a recent banquet honoring Hugo Ernst inter- national president of large union Haas gave speech ridiculing and condemning the Taft-Hartley Act He termed it disgraceful.
 This should be an indication of just how much enforcement the people of Alaska expect from MT. Haas.
 MT Haas is notoriousy pro-labor in his convic- tions That is his privilege. He is biased in favor of labor.
 But he is certainly not the man for the job of administering the Taft Hartley Act in Alaska and we do not see how anyone be convinced other wise To have him remain in this position would be just as logical as if John L. Lewis given the chief national job of enforcing the act.

Mexico's Buying Curbs
(Washington Post }

W
 The drastic restrictions that Mexico has laid upon a long list of luxury and non-essental articles im ported from the United States is only foretaste of what is to come unless vanishing dollar balances of other nations are replenished by loans and credits or through an expansion of their exports Since the end of the war Mexico has been buying heavily from this country the result that her dollar balances have shrunk from 355 million to 200 million. Mexico is also suffering from the effects of business reces- accompanied by drop in prices that helps to cut down foreign buying. Although the new restrictions are said be temporary it is obvious that Mexico cannot renquish them unless she succeeds in expand ing her exports. Otherwise the drain her dollar reserves would again become alarming.
 One source of dollars that would normally be open to Mexico is the sale of cattle to the United States. At present, however, large herds waiting at the border denied entry into this country because of the prevalence Of the foot and mouth disease in Mexico. Mexico would permit Americans to enter the coun- slaughter these cattle and pack the meat 1t could safely admitted with advantage to both countries So far, however, the Mexcans have rebuffed all our overtmes and the cattle remain oyercrowded scanty ranges where they are rapidly deteriorating
 Mexico, therefore, presents object lesson for us to consider in appraising the future of our foreign trade in respect not only exports but to imports, as we'll For it is evident that cannot bolster up our abnormally large export trade indefinitely by plying other countries with dollars they have not earned with which to pay for export. The dollars earned or lent must be put to work productvey to enable foreign countries to send goods in payment for our exports If dollars poor countries to rely solely upon reductions in imports to produce balance in international payments, the re- suit would be progressive decline in foreign trade, injurious to all trading nations.

LONGSHORE STRIKE

According to the Alaska Sunday Press Alexander Laiti Secretary of the Jw Longshoremen's Union claims that the Juneau lyngshoremen in the current strike are not claiming the right to boost the sailors out of their traditional jobs of working the ships in port.
 This announcement comes as news to the steam ship operators in Seattle who through the longshcre mems international representative heard these de- rnands presented for the Juneau local
 h other words so strong is the control of the ILwU in San Francisco over local unions, the local unions don't even know what they striking for most of the time Apparently the international failed 10 tell the Juneau longshoremen in this case.
 Since we published the names of some 25 long shoremen last week we have had number of com paints from some of them to the effect that they do not belong to the union. A few of the men have stated that they not in favor of the current strike
 Actually. the Juneau longshoremens union is con- trolled by tiny clique of Of some 93 men listed in our files longshorenen, probably less than 10 are union members with the privilege to vote and take active part in union matters Most of the men are given permit cards" which allow them to work but not to belong to the union. Through this system, a few men can control the jobs of the 93. And these few regardless of the wishes of the majority of the longshoremen close the port by strike on a moments notice It is very unwholesome situation antls deserves investigation
 Some of the in the union not citizens yet they control the destiny of 5000 Americans ln Juneau and vicinity Others known by Federal officials to be in sympathy with the theology of the Communist Party and others have records which can not stand investigation.
 After this week. when most of the provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act go into effect there will be why Juneau longshoremen who do not believe that the local union has been following the right cannot form their own union and sign contracts with steamship operators to work the docks.
 Members of a union would be protected in

 Approaching, Seward was even more startled to discover the caller was the British Ambassador.
 Lord. I'm glad you came along, the Englishman exclaimed. I'm in a deuce of a fix
 Whats wrong?"
 Well, it's this way" sad the Ambassador, and then amid mucn hemming and having explaineJ that he was in the park with another Ambassadors wife The lady was the wife of the spani h Ambassador.
 The preoicamcnt Of tfe Bri ish Ambassador was doubly embarras- sing In addition to tk- personal aspect of the situation relations between Britain and Spain were quite strained at the time Dis closure Of tie incident could lead to SC, ious international repcrcus- sions
 Seward promised to nelp He hastcned back to the White House where he found Lincoln still hard at work on the desperate prob lens arising out of the war Sew ard explained what had happened
 We've got to do something quifk, Lincoln said, but the keys 10 the park aren't here. The White House gardener has them and he's gone home II would take hours to get them as he lives way out in Georgetown. By automobile Georgetown is now only ten min- utes' distance from the White House.

FCRRESTAL s OFFICE

r.ighty problem of state has finally been settled. The office of James V. Forrestal, recently ap- pointed first Secretary of National Lefanse, will be in the giant Pentagon Building, up till now the exclusive purlieus of the War apartment. While no formal press statement has yet been released on the momentous decision, it will be as soon as the overworked mimeographers catch up on a huge pile of waiting handouts.
 If you think selection of the new Cabinet members office was trivial matter, you are sorely mistaken. It was practically a life and death issue among the bureaucrats.
 Some vehemenuy insisted it would be a sacri.ege for the Sec retary of National Defense to te housed in the War Department building. They insisted he be re- legated to the antiquated and grotesque former State Department opposite the White House.
 Calmer counsel finally prevailed aided by Secretary of War Roy all. He offered to relinquish his plush office and return to the Pentagon suite he previously oc- cUpied as Undersecretary. While this wss magnanimous on Royalls part. he won't suffer too much
 Tie old difference between the two offices is that the former is slightly smaller It is only one block long as compared to the two of the Secretary's office.
