!"SH'NG BAN FORESEEN
FOR BRISTOL BAY
All fishing west of Kodiak Is
land probably will bo banned
during the 19-42 season. Acting
Governor E. L. Bartlett said he
j had been informed from “an of
ficial source” in Washington, D.C.
; If the threatened curtailment
is carried out, a drastic blow at
the Territory’s chief source of
salmon—the rich, teeming Bris
tol Bay red salmon grounds —
will be struck. Bartlett declared.
Bristol Bay annually supplies
one-fifth to one-third of the Terri
tory’s pack and pays a tremen
dous share of the Territory’s tax
revenue.
The curtaiment has been pro
posed because of “lack of cargo
space.” Bartlett said he was in
formed.
Bristol Bay canneries pay ap
proximately $300,000 in direct
taxes every season, Bartlett said,
:n addition to the non-resident
fi-herman’s tax. The Red salmon
I pack from the area averages a
j million cases a year and will be
a heavily felt loss, not only to
i the canneries & their employees
! but to the nation as well, which
I is heavily dependent upon the
Alaskan canneries for salmon
| throughout the year.
Also affected by the order, pre
1 sumably, would be the fishing
banks of the Aleutian Islands
and a’ 1 other fishing grounds ly
ing west of Kodiak Island.

CALIFORNIA FEARS
JAP FARMERS
_
LOS ANGELES — California!
i county assessors, meeting in Los|
Angeles, planned a sweeping in
vestigation of recent land pur-!
chases by Japanese, or persons of
Japanese descent.
Japanese citizens are prevent
ed by state law from owning j
land, but there had been too!
many recent instances of exten-J
sive land purchases by second-1
generation Japanese. Most of the,
purchases were in the Sacram-,
onto, San Joaquin and Imperial;
valleys.
In one instance a 19-year-old j
Japanese-American purchased 40
acres of truck garden land for!
$00,000 with a nominal down pay ,
ment. At the end of the season hej
paid off the remaining debt, with;
the explanation that he had 5m
unusually good tomato crop, and
devoted the entire proceeds to
paying for his farm. Agricultural
experts say this would have been
impossible.
It was believed that many of
the land purchases were financed i
from Tokyo.
In San Francisco, Attorney j
General Warren declared that
the Japanese residing in Califor-j
nia make the state a so-called
.“Achilles heel" of national de-|
fense. Warren said there is dan-!
' ger of California becoming an-;
! other Pearl Harbor.
At Sacramento, Governor Cul-j
bert Olson announced he would t
| seek federal approval of an ex-'
ecutive order to revoke business!
and professional licenses of all.
