SEARCH RENEWED FOR
AMELIA EARHART
LOS ANGELES—A yacht elab
orately equipped with radio, div
ing and search apparatus will
sail from California about mid
summer to the South Seas in an
effort to determine, finally, the
fate of Amelia Earhart and Capt.
Fred Noonan, said E. S. Dimity
of Oakland recently. Miss Ear
hart and Noonan were lost in
July 1937 after taking off from
New Guinea for Howard Island
on an around the world flight.
Dimity is a co-founder of the Am
elia Earhart Foundation.
Commenting on the expedition
Paul Mantz, Miss Earhart’s for
mer technical advisor and mem
ber of the Foundation, said,
“there’s less than a 1,000 to one
chance that Amelia or Noonan
are alive today but its almost as
important to us now as in 1937
to discover what happened out
there. Amelia was too good a pi
lot not to have tried to save her
self and her ship. Where she saw
she had only an hour’s fuel re
maining she must have attempt
ed a landing even if it was on a
desert island full of palm trees.”

Japanese Fisheries Publish Book
Setting Forth Aims and Policies
One of the most illuminating
hooks on the world’s fisheries re
; sources recently issued is “Jap
an’s Fisheries Industry — 1939,”
published by the Japan Times
| and Mail, copies of which have
just become available in this
country.
This book is printed in English
and presents authoritative discus
sions of the Japanese fisheries
written by government and in
dustry officials.
The book sketches the import
ance of fisheries on the economic
life of Japan, and the importance
j of fishery products in the export
trade of the country.
It also makes clear the Japan
ese intention to send their fish
ing vessels and floating canneries
and reduction plants to our side
of the Pacific Ocean. It makes
clear that these fish caught in
North American waters are not
for Japanese home consumption
but are to be put on the world
: market in competition with fish
caught and packed by the better
paid Canadian and American fish
l ermen and laborers.
The chief of the Fisheries Bu
reau, Mr. Senkichi Awaya writes
that one and a half million peo
ple are employed in the fisheries
industry, w'ith 364,000 fishing ves
sels bringing in catches valued at
400 million yen. (Equivalent to
approximately 100 million dol
lars).
The book contains innumerable
sidelights on the Japanese atti
tude regarding off-shore fisheries
which make interesting reading
for Americans. One government
official writes:
“The Japanese people indeed
regard it their inevitable fate or
even sacred mission to develop
riches hidden in the sea. For
many years past it has been the
motto of the Japanese fisheries
to exploit resources in the north
ern seas and southern waters.
Today, Japanese operate floating
canneries for salmon and crab
and floating factories for fish
meal in the Okhotsk and Bering
(Seas and off Alaska.
“Japanese fishermen are nei
ther reckless catchers nor law
less trespassers. At the same time
we firmly believe that all the
marine resources of high seas are
endowed to those who exploit
and utilize them for useful pur
poses.
“In the case of fishing areas
which in nature require interna
tional cooperation, Japan has,
readily cooperated with other na
tions in accordance with the prin j
ciple of ‘give and take.’ ”
Demonstrating the export val
ue of the fisheries, Mr. Motozo
Ezoe, another Japanese Fisheries
Bureau official writes: “Of all
the canned goods packed in Jap
an, more than half is represent
ed by canned fish and shell fish,
80 per cent or more of wthich is
for exportation. Among the can
ned fish for export salmon takes
the predominant position.

ALASKA’S SHIPS CAN KEEP RUNNING and give Alaska’s people
good transportation, regular mail sen ice the year around. That’s because
75% of Alaska’s steamship revenue is paid by the Canned Salmon
Industry for shipments of salmon, building materials, cannery supplies
and transportation of crews. It’s another way in which the Salmon
Industry helps to promote prosperity here.
