Japanese Fishing
Must Be Stopped
"The Japanese fishing invasion
Of Bristol Bay presents a prob
Je that is not local to Bristol
Bay or to Alaska. Here we find
% testing ground for two import
ant principles of deep sea fishing,
Conservation versus exploitation,"
Edward W. Allen, Chairman of
the International Fisheries Com
mission and member of the In
ternational Pacific Salmon Fish
eries Commission told members
Of .the Commonwealth Club of
California in San Francisco re
cently.
“The United States and Can
ada, separately and jointly, have
become the exponents of sound
conservation,” Mr. Allen told his
listeners. “Japan, on the other
hand, is the leading exponent in
the Pacific of the doctrine of
catching all the fish you can in
'any manner you can without re
gard for the future.
“Japanese fishing in Bristol
Bay affects Alaska, British Col
umbia, and all three Pacific
Coast states. The salmon fishery
is Alaska’s most important in
dustry, but the entire Pacific
Coast is interested in this as well
.
as in other varieties of fish. These
fisheries give direct employment
to many thousands of men from
California to the Bering Sea, and
indirect employment through
shipyards, supply houses, and in
other ways to probably as many
more. If the Japanese should be
successful in their attack upon
the Bristol Bay fishery, they will
und. ubtedly follow on down the
American Coast operating
against the fisheries of the re
gion wherever they find it profit
able.
“Alaska fishermen and operat
ors have been subjected to sev
ere restrictions in order to build
up and preserve pur fisheries. It
is not right that others who have
not contributed to this conserva
tion in any way should reap the
benefit.”
Allen pointed out the difficult
ies that Japan has been having
with Russia over Siberian fisher
ies.and expressed the belief that
these difficulties may have been
partly responsible for the Jap
anese turning to American fish
eries.
Declaring that it may be nec
essary to revise some ideas of in
ternational law in order to pre
serve our fisheries industry and
protect the employment of thou
sands of fishermen and cannery
workers, Allen said that there is

j no reason why we should hesti
tate to do so. He said that the
continental shelf is really just the
submerged margin of the contin
ent, and that while it is under
water, it is still part of our con
tinent.
“It is wholly illogical to say
that we may .protect fisheries
only up to three mies from our
shore and that some one outside
that three miles can come along
and completely destroy the en
tire result of our protection,” he
said.
“Concluding his talk, Allen
said that the Department of State
is fully alive to the situation
and entirely sincere in its desire
to work out a solution. He point
, ed out, however, that the De
ipartment is subject to a great
| real of pressure to handle Eu
j ropean questions. “It is there
fore necessary for the people of
| the Pacific Coast to keep this
question alive if we are to get
the desired results,” he said.
