Lifting of Crahmea
Reds to Negotiate o
JUNEAU i/P — The lifting of
a 10-year-ban on the importation
of Russian crabmeat may induce
the Soviets to negotiate on all
North Pacific fisheries problems,
the Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury said Wednesday night.
Joseph W. Barr, a former con
gressman from Indiana, told mem
bers of the State Legislature at
a special meeting, however, that
the United States had no guaran
tee that the Russians would come
to the conference table.
Barr said the ban was a source
of constant irritation to the Rus
sians because it was, in effect, an
accusing finger pointed at them.
“We discussed the impact of the
lifting of the ban would have on
the domestic crabmeat industry
thoroughly before the order was
signed last week,” Barr said.
Asked if the United States had
any guarantee from the Russians
that they would negotiate North
Pacific fisheries probl'ems before
the crabmeat ban was lifted,
Barr said the U. S. did not re
ceive any promises from the So
viets.
“I don’t think we gave away a
bargaining point, however,” Barr
said. “If we hadn’t lifted the ban,
the Russians would never have
consented to discuss North Pa
cific fisheries problems. This
clears the way, we believe.”

[ Bail May Induce
n Fishing Problems
Asked if there will be stepped
surveillance by the Coast Guard
of Russian fishing operations off
Alaska’s shores, Barr said “vve
already have ordered that.”
Barr’s statements were the sub
! ject of a minor flareup in the
House of Representatives.
Rep. Forbes Baker described
Barr as “a very learned and
sincere man who knew absolutely
nothing of what he came up here
to discuss.
“Alaska, by itself, has brought
up this king crab industry from
a two-bit operation to a $2 million
industry,” Baker told the House.
“Now, that industry has been
bartered away from us at the
international bargaining table.
“We are told by Mr. Barr that
the federal government’s $300
million depressed area fund can
be made available to us.
“In other words, they take one j
of our sources of livelihood j
which we have built up our
selves, and then suggest we dip
into federal charity.”
Rep. John Hellenthal objected
to Baker’s statements.
"The embargo was lifted by the
United States only because our
laws required it,” Hellenthal said.
“Factual investigations by the
Counter-Intelligence Agency and I
foreign agencies showed that
slave labor no longer was used
to process the crab.
“Under those circumstances, as
a law abiding nation, we had no
choice but to lift the embargo.”

courage than the man who can
stop after he has eaten one peanut.
