ferred a resolution condemning
the fishing pactices by Japanese
nationals in the Pacific, especial
ly in the 'Bristol Bay area.
The following is a part of that

“WHEREAS, should the Jap
anese be allowed to destroy the
salmon fishery of Bristol Bay,
which is the principal source of
income for the officers and men
of the First and Second Scout
Battalions of the Alaska National
Guard, and for all other residents
of the area, who represent a
stable resident population of this
great area which is so essential to
the national security of the Uni
ted States, and further, if the
activity of Japanese nationals is
allowed to continue, the First
and Second Scout Battalions of
the Alaska National Guard,
whose members are resident Alas
Kans living in this area, would
be forced to move and the First
and Second Scout Battalions
would have to be disbanded, thus
creating a large, uninhabited
