DEALING WITH THE FISHERIES
Out in this corner of “the states” and in Alaska there
*1
i$ much interest in fish. Fishing is a major basic in
dustry. Fisheries afford a means of livelihood to thous
ands of persons, and normally produce vast quantities
of essential food.
The fishing industry, like every other, is subject to
rules and regulations of the federal governmnnt. Some
rules have proved beneficial; some others at least un
derstandable, if not particularly helpful. More often
than not, the confusions and overlappings of federal
authority create conditions which those engaged in the
industry—employers, employes and individual fsher
men—find it difficult to contend with.
Many may have wondered why this should be. In a
recent hearing before the House merchant marine and
fisheries committee. Secretary of the Interior Ickes tes
tified that no less than 22 separate government agen
cies now have a hand in controlling' the fishing indus
try.
Mr. Ickes astonished the committee by advising that
a 23rd agency be created to coordinate the 22. The com
mittee laughed that one off. If the current mood of
Congress holds, the fishing industry may presently be
required to deal with fewer, ratfter than more, federal
agencies.—Seattle Times.

JAI*S KNOW WOW TO RUN
The Japanese withdrew from Kiska.
They didn't fight to the last man. They didn’t fight
at all.
For the first time since Pearl Harbor, the Japs gave
: up a key point-,- one from which they ambitiously plan
ned invasion of the North American Continent—and
gave it up without a bitter, last-ditch stand.
It indicates a fundamental change in thought of the
i Jap high command. In sharp contrast to the profligate
waste of life and materials on neighboring Attu, or
Munda, in the Solomons, here was “economy of ef
fect ves.”
Consistent Allied sources, though on a minor scale,
and intelligence reports of growing Allied power may
have fostered this more realistic policy by the Japan
ese. ..
Another factor might be that Hirohitc is pulling in
the Jap horns, to a degree dictated by expediency,,
preparatory to a tremendous peace propaganda drive
he is prepared to launch should there be a collapse of
the Axis in Europe.
Our forces are now poised on the Aleutian spring
board. Paramushiru, main Jap base, in the Kuriles, lies
1630 miles to the west, Tokyo 3,800 miles to the South
West.
|
We shall strike in time.
And we shall strike with the knowledge that it
will not be necessary to plunge a corkscrew in and yank
out the die-hard from every Jap foxhole on the way to
Tokyo.
