1851 FINE SEASON
 FOR GIlLNETTERS
 HAIKU RIVER AREA

Gillnet fishing on the Taku River this past season proved to be one of the best so far on record, ac- ccrding to figures of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Richard F. Shuman, fisheries management biologist, reported that total of 9,059 kings were taken. Over the past five years average take was 5,294 fish, giving the 1851 season an increase of I'll per cent.
 Shuman pointed out that this was exceptionally good especially in view of the fact that there was more gear in the water. The num- Der oi boats fishing per day brought an increase in fishing gear to 29-2 per cent. The average number of boats this year was 34.l as compar- ed with a mean of 26.4 per day over the past five years.
 Despite it being quite evident that the 1851 run of kings on the Taku was considerably better than average for the five years is shown, Shuman said, "by the total catch and particularly by the fact that the average catch per boat per day jumped from 94 to 12.1 in the sea- son just passed which is an in- crease of fish per boat day of 28.' per cent"
 Asked what the indications were for next season, Shuman said that his guess would be to look for poor run. He emphasized this was 1 purely guess but was based or figures of past years.
 Fish caught this year, he said were from 1946, which was a gooc brood year. The brood year of 194' was not good so therefore the re- turn in 1852 could be expected to bt sub normal
 Price paid this year was thirty one and one half cents per poune in the round.

THE HONOLULU CONFERENCE

On July 29, 1944, President Frank lin D. Roosevelt and General Doug lss MacArthur ended four day visit in Honolulu. Present were Ad- mirals Chester w. Nimitz and Will liam F. Halsey, Jr. and others. Ad- miral William D. Leahy and Elmer Davis. then head of the OWI, ac- companied the President.
 The purpose of this conference was to discuss the Pacific war and it's relationship to the entire pie ture. General MacArthur took the position that the re-conquest of the Philippines would split the Japanese Empire, that our Naval activities would leave the Japanese homeland without an adequate sup ply of rice which is the essential food of the Japanese people. Thus, the Japanese would be starved into an unconditional surrender. Con- versely, it would deprive their for ces of support from the homeland.
 Soviet Russia was, in 1944, neu- tral in our war with Japan. Roose- velt had, at Teheran, raised the issue of Russian participation but had not accomplished it. MacAr- thurs attitude was that if the strategy of starvation of Japan were pursued, it would be Of no advantage to the United States for Soviet Russia to come in. He fear ed Russia's demands upon China a fear that was subsequently, justi- fled by the facts.
 That Japan was starved into sub mission is an established historic fact. fully documented at the Tok- yo trials. Even before the atom bomb was hurled at Hiroshima, Japan was broken nation. My own private information from Jap anese friends of long standing makes this clear. AS long as Japan had food, she could fight. She col lapsed with 3,O0O,00O uncommitted troops because her food was un- available.

 The first U. s. action was to direct tbot American sea and air power ao to the aid of the South Koreans.
 Johnson related that this decision was taken at a June 26, 1850, White uouse meeting on motion of Ache son.

 But in testimony at the neariiis'' tha former secretary of defense de- o,i, ed to endorse the proposals from Macarthur for hitting directly at ped China in an effort to end the war He pleaded in part that he had heen out of the government since last Sept. IS and lacked information.

 put Johnson. who was bounced from the cabinet last Sepoeiiipei after feuding with Acheson, told the soro+ors he was not going to violate condolences or indulge in personal tiles"
 He related:
 At a White House meeting on r,ne 26. 1850, Acheson, reading rom a prepared statement, moved thal sea and air forces be sent to alo the South Koreans. Johnson salo :. .aThe military neither recommenaeo it nor opposed"
 9 He and Acheson had really violent discussion" over Formosa pu' in the end Acheson agreed the US 7th Fleet should be ordered to pro- tect the island from Communist ln- vasion and made the motion to do that.
 Proposal Overruled
 8. He had wanted in 1949 to send a US. military mission to the Chi nese Nationalists on Formosa but President Truman overruled hin because of political" protests from the State Department.
 4. Despite reports to the contrary there were no intelligence reports received in Washington that pu us on notice anything was going tt happen in Korea" before the Com munists attacked there. He saie Macarthur had no responsibility a that time for Korea and it was no the generals duty to report ci Korea
 5. The US. troops in Japan wer, not prepared for a fight when tn war broke out because they wer organized and trained for occupa tion duty.
 In discussing Formosa, Johnson said it was only after the fightin began in Korea that the State De partment shifted it's position an mo longer opposed doing things t keep Formosa from falling into un friendly hands"

of Yalta, makes the point that in February 1945, Roosevelt was for ced to make the enormous conces- sions he did made to Soviet Russia with regard to China, Manchuria and Korea because he was so anxious to get Russia into the Far Eastern war; he was uncertain of victory; the atom bomb was not yet a success.
 It is beyond understanding that Roosevelt, in February 1945, was ob- livious to the great success that Macarthur and Nimitz had all ready achieved in the Pacific. The Philippines had been invaded and the first cavalry and other forces were already in Manila Shipping off the China coast was being bombed by our planes. The con- quest. of Japan by starvation, ex- plained to Roosevelt at Honolulu in l944, was actually becoming effect | i've.
 Roosevelt could not have been so pessimistic that he could have be- lieved that it was necessary to give Russia free hand in China, Man. churia and Northern Korea. Besides, for this enormous com- to fn into the Far Eastern war, three months after the Germans were defeated. It must have been clear on February II, 1945, to anyone who could calculate, that three months after Germany was defeated, in view of what was already happen ing to Japan, the Japanese would not be able to stand against the additional power that would be freed for Pacific warfare. Up to that time, the Pacific area had had only small fraction of our power. No discussion of Yalta by those who were present at that confer ence, thus far, explains Roosevelt's generosity to Stalin. Nor why he vi- plated his own principles as stated | in the Atlantic charter by trans ferring territory from one country to another without the consent of the deprived country.
 Acheson's explanation that China consented is adrolt but untrue. The Recommendation of the case proves otherwise. What is true is that Roosevelt undertook to get Chiang Kai-Shek to agree to the terms ar
 ranged at Yalta. This is included 1! in the Yalta agreement and quo- ted the text of it in a recent ar ticle. Chiang was in no condltlon to flout Roosevelt at that time.
 T. V. Soong, on June 30, l945 was in Moscow. He conferred with
 Stalin. A treaty of friendship was ratified August 24, l945) to respect each others sovereignty and terri-
 torial integrity. The Russian gov
 ernment pledged itself not to in-
 terfere in the internal affairs of China. The two countries agreed to mutual aid against any future Jap anese aggression. The treaty was to last 30 years. Soviet Russia was vi- plating the treaty while it was be-
 ing signed.
 | It is beyond understanding that Dean Acheson did not discuss these
 matters precisely as they occurred
 Maybe, they were not called to his
 attention or he was not questioned
 about them. I have tried to read
 the 100000 words of testimony;
 vet, did not find these pertinent 1 facts.

Common Errors.

Avoid: After having written the
letter, I mailed it special delivery"
The locution after having" is re-
dundant. Say: Having written the
letter; or: after writing the letter.
Avoid: IT shall remain in the city
for the balance of the year." The
word balance" is a bookkeeper's S
term. Better say: for the re-
mainder of the year.
Avoid: "They are both alike
Nonsense. Correct: They are alike.
Avoid: HE has great capacity as
a speaker" Capacity is "the power
to receive and RETAIN" as the capac-
ity of learning. Better say: He has
great ability as a speaker.
Avoid: HE had no less than three
decorations" We should not use
LESS" in qualifying that which can
be numbered counted. Correct:
He had no fewer than three decora-
tions. She has fewer not 'less")
responsibilities than I.

expresses the idea of outrageous
wickedness, as the enormity of a
crime or sin. Enormousness means
abnormal or of very great size. "
Neither enormity nor enormousness
goes very well with such word as
sacrifice. Better say: He praised the
greatness of our sacrifice.
Poor: "A certain party of my ac-
quaintance. He is the party I spoke
Of" Primarily, party is a collec-
tive noun similar to crowd, group,
company, as, hunting party, a
political party, a dinner party, a
card party. Only in legal usage
does party properly designate an
individual person, as, the party to
law suit, one of the parties in a
divorce action.
Better: An acquaintance friend)
of mine. He is the one Cor: person;
or: mani I spoke Of.
Also undesirable: "She's charm
ing individual" Better: She Is a
charming person (girl, woman.
Avoid: She's a saleslady at
Blanks store" Would one ever
speak of a "salesgentleman"? The
word LADY" Is not good usage in
such terms as "saleslady, lady
friend, lady doctor, lady lawyer,
lady customer, lady professor" Bet
ter: saleswoman, woman friend,
woman doctor, etc.

Uncle RAYS Corner

The old castles which are scat
tered over Europe seem to hold an
ever-present interest for people Of
modern times. The castles date
back hundreds of years to the
Middle Ages. They are composed
largely of stone, and some of them
are in fairly good condition.
People live in few of those old
castles, but the great majority are
not fit for use. Old ruins take up
valuable space, but tourists like to
see remains of an important period
of human history.
During the Middle Ages the cas-
ties were occupied by dukes, earls
and other mobiles. Kings also owned
castles, but it became common for
their homes to be called palaces"
The word castle" came from the
Latin language, and means strong
hold" or place of a fort" That
suggests an important fact about
castles; they were built in such a
way that they could hold of enc
mics.
Attackers often had battering
Evening star., 1951-03-14

rams, but it was hard to break down
walls which were from S to 10
feet thick!
Another method of attack was
to climb over the walls. Ladders
could be used for this purpose, but
those who went up the ladders were
in danger of being shot down by
arrows, or struck by spears. The
defenders had towers with small
holes through which to shoot ar
dows.
Almost every castle had moat
around it. This was a wide ditch,
and it usually was filled with water.
To go in and out of the castle
grounds, mobiles and their servants
used drawbridges. These could be
raised or lowered at. will It was
the custom to raise them at night
and to keep them up if there was
special danger of attack.
Inside the castle walls were
various buildings, and commonly
small field There were store
houses to hold food which could
be eaten during . long siege. The

amount of food was an important
question. If the people inside the
castle had enough to last for
months, the attackers might give
up hope of success and go away.
