THAT SPLIT HALIBUT SEASON

Yesterday The Empire mentioned the split hali- but proposal and urged local halibuters to prepare their arguments to be presented to the FEC at the hearing to be held in Juneau next Saturday.
 Concerning the split season. the Ketchikan News recently gave the following in editorial:
 Of great interest to Alaska fishermen and boat owners is the proposal for split halibut"
 A hearing this subject will be held by the International Fisheries Commission September 29. Other hearings be held will be in Seattle September 23 Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 26 Prince Rupert B. C., September 2S, Petersburg September 30 and Juneau October l.
 The members of the commission who serve without pay have unquestionaby done fine job in conserving halibut Their plan seems to be to abide by the majority of what is wanted by the industry Their main purpose is to conserve the halibut. They can put into operation the split without any change in the treaty
 Inquiry on our part indicates that many of those who have vital interest in the industry have very hay idea of the real meaning of the split season Some are said to favor it in the belief will result in more poundage and a longer season.
 Unlike the "gentlemen's agreement, the split sea son. if adopted, will be compulsory. The commission

for the weapons of war, then the next generation could live in se- curity.
 NO good businessman would ever think of neglecting his advertising or of hiring poor salesmen to make tte rounds of his customers. He would go out of business in no time. But we as nation fail to apply the same good business prac- tice in regard to the most sacred thing in our possession-the lives of the next generation. We select diplomats for political reasons, or because they have enough private cash to live abroad on the miserly salaries we pay them: and we fail to give them an advertising cam- paign to supplement their work.
 This may not sound much like religion. But to me religion is a question of doing, not merely hay ing faith. AS I understand Christs teaching it is a doctrine Of going out and administering to others and if necessary, rowing with the money changers and driving them out of the temple.

has the power fixing opening and closing dates for conservation purposes
 Under the split the plan is to allow all the boats to start out the first of each month. They will be allowed ten days during which to make their catches The balance of that month they will be laid up and cannot fish The thing is repeated each month until the quotas caught.
 The split season will work against the best inter ests of Alaska and Ketchikan is belief
 Moreover, cannot see where it will benefit the ma iorty of boats Each boat will be laid up idled the greater part of each month
 Worse still, the inclination will be to glut the market. Naturally each boat will catch much as possible during the ten days and dump the fish on the market The idle gaps also bound to eat into their profits Even should there be extra pound- age with longer spread of the fishing season. it would hardly compensate for glutted markets and loss of time.
 Some of the larger boats might favor the split season as it will give theni chance to visit their homes in Seattle or outside ports while laying up.
 The main point to emphasize is that every halibut fisherman and boat should attend or be repre- sented at the hearing and not allow what may prove to be an unpopular decision to go by default.

WORLDS END?

Tn the United States a scientific capsule has been given man which offers the world two distinct and definite alternatives:
 q. We can get into another war and see the globe made into ball of fire by the hand of man him. self; or
 g. We can use practical Christ ianity to prevent war, and by har- messing the energy of the atom make the world virtual Garden of Eden.
 Perhaps the prophets of Israel have now come back as scientists of the atom to warn us that the end of the world can come, not by flood but by fire.
 "The problem is immediate and urgent. We have to decide now whether we are going to fight for peace just as vigorously as we fought for war, or whether we are going to drift-which eventually means another war.
 We have got to make up our minds whether we are going back to the basic teachings of the man who was horn 2,000 years ago and whether we are going to carry them out militantly-as militantly as connoted by the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers

SELLING THE IDEA

Christ was a man who went out and worked at his religion. He didn't stay in one place. He didn't hide his candlestick under bush- el. He battled so hard for his cause of peace on earth, good will toward men, that eventually he sacrificed his life.
 He had what he thought was great idea and he travelled day and night trying to sell it.
 Now we in this country have great form of government and great basic concept of getting along with our neighbors. And it's time we went out as Christ did and tried to sell our American relig- ion
 we can't sit passive in big, or nate houses as most of our ann bassadors do, giving ritzy cocktail parties for upper-crust old ladies and other hasbeens. Our diplomats have go to go out and talk to the real folks that make up the back bone of the country.
 , This is not just theory It works out in practice that when the | people of a country are behind you, and don't have to worry about their government, their government even an out-and-out dictatorship cant make war on you. The peo- pie won't let 'em.
 However, if the Russian people are fed hy controlled press and radio only what their politburo wants them to know about us, then the problem becomes more difficult. The boys in the Kremlin are now much more afraid of the spread of Democracy than we are of Com munism. They are adopting ex- f actly the same system toward us that for IT foolish years the state ! department adopted toward them
 They don't want their people to mix with ours, they don't want American newspapermen or preach CTS to circulate over there. They don't even like children of the Rus sian embassy in Washington going to our schools.
 This makes the problem diffi- cut but not insoluble. After all use of the atom up until a short time ago was considered insoluble The solution. as I see it, is te

CHRIST WAS REVOLUTIONARY

"Only diplomacy of the most rev olutionary kind, based upon the Sermon of the Mount can counter act the revolutionary weapon Of the atom bomb. Many of us have forgotten that Christ was a revolu- tionary. Sometimes the world has forgotten this just as woefully and completely as it has forgotten the principles which he taught.
 At the time Christ was born, a much higher standard of moral ethics existed than there is in the world today, and the prophets Of Israel had repeatedly warned their people that if they did not live up to those standards they would be destroyed.
 Later Jesus epitomized all this teaching and brought forth the highest expression of moral and ethical standards ever given to man in the Sermon on the Mount.
 Now. 2,000 years later, in the heart of Christian Europe, where more professed Christians live than any place else on the globe, people have virtually destroyed themselves with a war of their own making They chose to disregard the teach ings to which they gave lip-service

The Navy in Spain
(New York Times


 Four ships of the United States Navy have just paid courtesy call at Spanish port the first since the republic fell to the forces of Franco and Musso- lini In the course of this official visit the com- mander United States naval forces in the Medf- terra1lean and the Eastern Atlantic spent an hour in conference with the Generassimo himself. When uueried about this visit some days ago. President Truman said he saw no particular implications in it, and Secretary Acheson said it had no political sig nificance.
 The President and the Secretary must be we'll aware however, that matter how innocent the visit may appear to American eyes, it cannot help but be useful to Franco for propaganda purposes. The little dictator certainly will not miss this oppor- tunity of telling the Spanish people that the American visit is goodwill gesture and proves that the anti Franco front of the Western democracles IS peghng to crack The visit will also serve to dshearten the forces opposing Franco inside and outside of Spain It will arouse suspicion of our motives elsewhere Tn Europe
