Brun stad Resigns Territorial Post

Karl Brunstad has resigned as a member of the Territorial Fisheries Board. The effective date of his resignation has been left to Governor Gruen- ings decision, although Brun- stad said he preferred it to be immediate.
 Brunstad has been a member of the TFB for several years. An appointment to the board is subject to confirmation by the Territorial Legislature.
 In resigning Brunstad said he considered it "an honor and a pleasure to serve as a mem ber." However, he said he felt that a representative from the northern area" the Terri torial waters north and west of the Alaskan Peninsula, should be named to represent the fishermen from that area.
 The complete text of Brun- stad's letter of resignation will be published in next weeks MIRROR.

Crab Processing Stops At Floating Cannery

Canning and crab processing operations at the Island Sea- foods cannery have been shut down because of a dispute over crab prices.
 Fishermen have been re-. ceiving $1.25 for crabs de1i-' vered to the cannery. Pete De- veau, cannery superintendent, says the cannery cannot con- tinue to. pay that amount be- cause of labor costs, mainte- nance and the fact that a CO., operative outfit is selling crab for $24 on the Seattle market Deveau has been selling crab at Seattle for $3l.
 Deveau said that crab that sells for $24 is the same crab he is offering for sale. How ever, he added, that outfit pays only 85 cents for the average crab which weighs F pounds.
 Operations will be suspended till spring when outside boats will fish for us and we will move the cannery out of this area where it can be eper- |ated," Deveau declared yester- day.
 He said his payroll. when the cannery operates, runs a. round $400 a day for labor and that he buys around l,20O crabs at $1.25 each. Here is another industry strangled by lack of understanding by bhe fishermen" Dove au said He added that a. lot of fellows complaining about tbepropos- ed lowering of local crab prices do not fish for crab.
 The US. Fish and WildGfe Service released figures this week on the crab taken around Kodiak Island from Jan. l, 1852 to Nov. 23, 1852. The total is 47,583 received by all crab canneries.
 One crab boat operator made over $2,500 in six weeks and his crew made over $l, 900, Deveau said.

Mr.. Wasson was the attorney

Doesn't Believe G. O. P.
Candidate Understands

Make no mistake as to what
they are after when they shout,
Its time for change" They
want to rule the country again
and get back those special priv
ileges.
Now, I honestly don't think
the Republican candidate for
president understands all this.
He was in the Army all during
the 1920's and the 1905, when
this great struggle was going on.
And he hasn't had much OPP
portunity to learn how our
economy and our government
work.
I wonder if he's asked the
millionaires who are financing
his campaign what they expect
to get out of it.
Well. I'll tell him a few things
that some of them expect to
get out of it.
The oil millionaires expect to
get something. First, they ex-
pect to get control of the i'm
mensely rich offshore oil re-
serves that are owned by all the
people of the United States, in
cluding all of you people in this
audience. On that question, the
candidate has already COM
mitted himself. Under pressure
from the oil lobby, he has pro-
missed to sign a bill giving to
three States the oil lands that
the Supreme Court has said be-
long to everybody in the United
States. including the people of
Minnesota. That transaction
would make Teapot Dome look
like chicken feed. And he didn't
even consult you folks who own
the property.

election. The grain spectators
expect something out of a Re-
publican victory.
They hope to tax farmer CO.
operatives out of business. They
expect to see the Governments
price support operations, and
grain storage program modified
to give them better crack at
the farmer. They got a large
part of what they wanted from
the Republican 80th Congress.
That Congress wrote the Slid
ing scale" formula for price sup
ports, and denied to the Gov
ernment the right to acquire
storage facilities. The Demo-
cratic 81st Congress upset both
those deals, but the spectators
know they can always be made
again.
There's a great deal at stake
Tor the millionaires. too, If an
other set of Andy Mellon tax
laws can be written.
There's a great deal at stake
for them if they can get Re-
publicans who see things their
way on the Federal Power Com
mission. and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the
other regulatory bodies.
These are the reasons that
millions and millions of dollars
are flowing into Golfers of the
Republican Party.
Maybe the Republican candi-
date for President doesn't under
stand what all of his hackers
are after. Or maybe he Just
thinks the same way they do,
as he has shown on so many of
the issues.
There's a lot at stake in ques-
tions like these, and if you elect
Republicans you'll find it out for
four long years.
The Republican Party's long
established policy of running
the Government in the interests
OF big business is bad enough
just in itself. But it's doubly
bad because those policies are
bound to put this country into
another Republican depression
sooner or later.
The Republican candidate for
President keeps getting angry
when I say things like that. He
says his party has no intention
of putting this country into
depression.

Great Concentration
Of Wealth Resulted

But it didn't work, and now
we know why. We know that
during all that decade of the
Republican 1920s, a great con-
centration of wealth and income
took place. BY 1929. / per cent
of the population was getting IA
per cent of the national income,
after taxes.
During what we used to call
the booming 20s. all the increase
in income was in the top 5 per
cent of the population. The mass
of the population-the 95 per
cent-eXperienced an actual de-
cline in income.
When that concentration Of
wealth and income that the Re-
publicans fostered had reached a
certain point, the money couldn't
be spent. The people who had
the most money simply couldn't
spend it. The people who needed
things didn't have the money.
So buying declined. production
declined, and investment de-
clined, and we had another type
OF chain reaction downward-a
reaction that lasted until the pit
was reached in 1882.
The Democratic Party came
In and reversed that whole
chain reaction. We recognized
that the key to national pros
perity is the income and the
purchasing power Of the 95
per cent.

to get just as much considera-
ton, and have the same rights,
as the richest man who contrib
uted to the Republican Party.
That was the meaning of the
election of 1882, when we made
Franklin Roosevelt President of
the United States.
Working men were going to
be allowed to organize, and their
representatives were going to be
heard in our legislative halls.
Government was going to pay
attention to their need for steady
jobs, and for security, in this
complex new industrial society.
Farmers were going to be
heard. too. and they were going
to be given some protection
against depression and crop
failure and against the market
manipulators who used to get
rich from the farmers labors.
The minorities of this coun-
try-the Negroes, the foreign
born-were going to be heard,
too, and they were going to be
treated as Americans ought to
be treated.
That was a revolution that
took place in 1882, when the
common man came into his own
at last. It was a peaceful,
wholesome, constructive revolu-
ton. And thank God the Demo-
cratic Party had the genius to
guide a peaceful revolution, or
we would have had the other
kind.
But to all the people who lost
their special privileges, their
preferred position, their right to
exploit the farmer and the work.
ing man-Franklin Roosevelt
became the symbol of their loss.
That's why they hated him. I
am proud to have followed in
his footsteps. And that's why
they have heaped abuse on me.
But. as you can see, it hasn't
hurt me a bit-and what's
more, it never will.
