PROTECT ALASKA'S FISHERIES

It doesn't take anyone with a very long memory to recall the fuss that was created l2 years ago when Japanese fishing vessels sailed into Alaskan waters and started to loot our fisheries.
 But it appears that there are some people in the State Department whose memories need bit of jog ging.
 Press dispatches from Washington indicate that the Department is getting ready to talk about signing a peace treaty with Japan. But there is a strong element in the Department that wants to put off any agreement fisheries until after the treaty has been signed
 The men who constitute fishing industry members of unions boat owners, processors, shippers are more realistic. Meeting in Seattle recently the Pacific Fisheries Conference representing all these groups wisely demanded that the State Department have the fisheries question settled at the same time the treaty is signed-or before.
 These men know that members of the Japa- nese fishing industry have their eyes focused on our fisheries They want to sail their ships into Bristol

Bay and pick off the przed Alaska red salmon, for one thing
 These people aren't in the majority Responsible Japanese leaders would treaty that would keep their fishermen out of our fisheries at the time protect Japanese fisheries from Americans
 Let's take look at what this threat means to us in Alaska.
 The fishing industry is important to Alaska. You can't compare it's importance to that of any other industry to other regions.' It is vital, for example to Alaska than lumber to Oregon, oil to Texas any single commodity to the great agricul- tural States of the Midwest.
 Allow the Japanese to cripple fishing industry and at least half our people would be forced to leave Alaska-or live a condition of deplorable poverty. And what would Territorial government do with out the revenue gained from its major source of financial support?
 The fisheries of Alaska likewise are vital to the economy of the Pacific Northwest-incuding British Columbia
 Right now we're not being bothered by Japanese fishermen. After the surrender of that country, President Truman issued a proclamation that off cialv asserted special interest by this nation in its fisheries regardless of whether they extended beyond Territorial waters and its right to protect them
 Shortly thereafter, General MacArthur definitely set the limits of Japanese fishing activity This limi- tation can be enforced only so long aS Japan all occupied country.
 Signing of peace treaty with Japan automatically cancels such limitation and would allow that country to invade our fsheries-uness-
 And that unless is important to all Of us. That unless" is: . .. . UNLESS an agreement is included in the treaty is written at the same time the treaty is prepared
 We don't want to be tough with anyone.
 We don't want to work any hardship on anyone
 We just want to protect what is ours These fisheries belong to the people of the United States
 We want the Japanese to keep out of our fish, eries-and we'll keep the heck out of theirs.
 Let's get that on paper before it's too late.

Dewey and AchesO

It'c been carefully hushed-up secret between the State Depart ment and Albany, but last sum- mer, Governor Dewey discussed with Secretary of State Acheson the idea of becoming American Ambassador to Great Britain.
 Although Governor Dewey's of- flee refuses to discuss the matter, what happened was this. Early in the summer and before Dewey changed his mind about running for reelection, he asked for a meeting with Acheson. He specified that the meeting should be neither in the State Department nor in the Roosevelt Hotel, Dewey's New York City headquarters; so the two met in the home of Roger Straus, President of the American Smelling and Refining Company whom Dewey had planned to make Secre- tary of Commerce if elected in l94S.
 Dewey. long an admirer of Ache son, explained that he was be- coming more and more worried about the bipartisan foreign policy which he felt was rapidly falling to pieces since the illness of Senator Vandenberg. And he said he would like to do something to help.
 Dewey and Vandenberg have been quite friendly since 1944, and while the Michigan Senator's health was good he was in frequent tele- phone communication with the New oYrk Governor. In fact, ;; was through Dewey that Vanden- berg came to know and respect Dewey's foreign counselor, John Foster Dulles. now adviser to the State Department.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-12-04

actual promise of the London Am bassadorship to Dewey. But he in- dicated he would talk things over at the White House and let him know.
 Later. Dewey decided to run for third term and the idea went up in smoke. However, the man who helped persuade Dewey to run for Governor again, the Chase Banks Winthrop Aldrich, also knew of Dewey's foreign-rolicy plan. and out of this came the appointment of Walter Clifford, former head of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, to the post Dewey wanted-an ap- pointment which has had all the politicians puzzled.
 What most people don't know is that Acheson, despite the Red lahei pinned on him by Republican Senators, has long been Washing ton attorney for J. P. Morgan and the various Wall Street interests. lie has also known Winthrop Ald- rich and the Rockefeller group which dominates the Chase Bank.
 Therefore, when Dewey reneged on his budding ambassadorial car ger, he and his New York banking friends sold Acheson on Walter Clifford instead. That was how Truman happened to appoint a big money raiser for Dewey to the most coveted of all diplomatic posts.
 Note-Though Dewey wanted to promote the bipartisan foreign pol icy for his friend Acheson and though Gifford's appointment was sold to Truman with the under standing he would swing COP support, it didn't work out that way at all. On the day before election, Dewey spent all day on the telepvision vehemently denounc- ing his friend Achesons foreign policy in China. It helped to cinch the election.

Baffled Harry Truman

The Dewey Clifford maneuvering for the London embassy now ex- plains why President Truman was so baffled when he called in Jam- es Bruce. of National Dairy Pro- ducts, and asked Bruce to relieve him of an earlier commitment for the London Embassy.
 "A terrible thing has happened, Jim," MT. Truman told Bruce. "The truth is. I've been outmaneuvered. It's a terrible thing to ask you, but I think I've got to ask you to re- lease me from my commitment" |"
 You're in charge of foreign policy, MT. President" replied Bruce. Its your responsibility, and the most important one you have. If you've found better man for this job, that's enough for me"
 No, that isn't exactly it." re- piled the President. They've hand ed me someone I don't know. He's fellow who's President of the Telephone Company"
 You mean William Harrison?" asked Bruce.
 No, kind of forget the name" replied MT. Truman.
 Could it be Sosthenes Behn?" said Bruce, referring to the head of International Telephone and Telegraph.
 No" replied the President. Well, is it Walter Gifford?"

Ambassador Dewey

Dewey explained to Acheson. therefore, that with Vandenberg ill, he, Dewey, as titular leader of the Republican Party felt respon- sibility for foreign policy and that he would like to do his part to- ward re-establishing the bipartisan ship which had now gone to pot.
 Acheson expressed his apprecia- tion. And out of their conversation grew the idea that Dewey would become Ambassador to the court of St. James, top diplomatic spot in the world; then, after acquiring experience in London, would return he to steer bipartisan foreign DC. back on an even keel.
