Salmon Spokesman
Says Japs Threaten
Canning Industry
SEATTLE, UP — The managing
director of the Alaska Salmon In
dustry, Inc., said last night Japa
nese fishing in the North Pacific
may be endangering the Alaska
salmon canning industry.
W. C. Arnold, addressing the
Seattle Historical Society, said
the 1955 pack will be less than
2,500,000 cases. He said the yield
is about 40 per cent of the indus
try’s annual volume in the 1940’s.
“This decline is not necessar
ily fatal, nor is it without pre
cedent,” Arnold said. “Alaska
still is virgin country, with its
streams unpolluted and its water
sheds unstripped.”
“But there is a cloud on the
horizon,” Arnold said of Alaska
and the Japanese fishing in the
North Pacific. “The Japanese, by
their own report, have taken
about 70,000,000 salmon in the
North Pacific Ocean and its ad
jacent seas this year, Arnold said.
“This catch is equal or great
er than this year’s combined take
in Alaska and Puget Sound.” He
said there was no indication the
Japanese were violating a treaty
limiting them to fishing west of
the 175th meridian.
“Reports indicate the Japanese
fleets are taking immature sal
mon on the feeding grounds.
Biologists are investigating. The
treaty so provides. There is dan
ger that the patient will expire
during the course of the treat
ment.
“This I know,” Arnold contin
ued. “If the Japanese fleets are
taking immature salmon destined
for American streams, then
treaty or no treaty, a remedy
must be found and found quickly.
“Otherwise,’ Arnold concluded,
“Alaska’s oldest and greatest re
source will vanish like the buf
falo.”

JUNEAU, (#>—An unemployed

tion” in the Alaska Department

shortened, 'hanging from a device
attached to the shoulder.
