SEA LIONS, TIRELESS SALMON HUNTERS
That tireless hunter, the sealion, is still hovering in 1
the wake of the salmon which run like caribou before j
wolves. O'Malley, fishery czar, says “you may kill the j
gull and the sealion any time you actually catch them
destroying salmon.” Now that's a sly crack to make!
In other words the matter is simple: put on a diving
suit and stalk the sea lion on the bottom. When you catch
him with salmon in his mouth, shoot him; but be careful
to not lose the salmon, otherwise you might offend the
sentimentalists, like Dr. Pearson, and have an argument I
with that bureau entrusted with the welfare of fowl,
fauna and reptiles conserved that future generations
may know why fishermen turned to drink, wondering
if democratic government had perished from the earth.
WANTS TO SEE MORE UNEMPLOYED
In an address made at the recent opening of the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce in Washington, Pres
idest Hoover called attention to the vast expenditures
by nations for armaments, aggregating nearly five bil
lion dollars a year.
He deplored the fact nations felt it necessary to
maintain such extensive armies and navies in spite of
their adherence to the Kellogg-Briand pact, whereby
they had renounced war as an instrument of national
policy and had agreed to settle all their controversies by
peaceful methods; “chewing the fat.” He spoke hopeful
ly of the efforts for armament reduction which have
t>een made and called upon the business men of the j
world to aid in promoting peace.
What a lot of Arcadian hooey! As if such talk can i
ihange human nature. As long as two men are alive ;
>n this earth, there will be battle, and so long as f
lations remain intact, there will be wars. This is a sad ■
:act but a true one. To go to war is a great adventure
?or each young, successive generation regardless of the
leaths, privations and suffering; knowledge is learned
:hat way, and impulsive youth must have its fling. If :
Toover could kill that instinct of country loyalty so man- j
fest at the call to arms, there might be a chance to put j
icross the old desire of pacifists; peace at any price.
But it is not disarmament which so forcibly struck
is in this address of the President's, but the after-effect
should he in anyway cut down America's Army and
^avy a tthis particular time, throwing hundreds of
;housands of more unemployed into the present panic!
We would suggest the Cabinet get behind Editor
Jearst's relief suggestion, propounded many months ago j
)y this paper, and snap the country out of the present
ioldrums. Billions would be poured out in case of war;
vhy not do likewise in time of peace. It may be fake
>rosperity, but the whole game is a bunch of ‘hooey' any
way. The Solomons at Washington put the country “on
;he spot,” so let them straighten it out before things
*et beyond their political, strangle-hold control.
With one Juneau paper, edited by a former Seward
te, Advocating erection of the proposed Wm. H. Seward
Memorial in Juneau, and Anchorage working like fury
o take away court headquarters from Valdez, Seward
s between the devil and the deep blue sea. Oh hum!
**%%*$: *%$:** *
It is gratifying to this paper when government of
‘icials write The Gateway for 10 or 12 extra copies of
me issue in which was published ah editorial which
;hey liked, for it should assure the weak-hearted and
;kepitcal non-subscribers and non-advertisers that we
ire not quite so bad as they might hope.

BUREAU PLANNING
FUTURE INVESTIGATIONS
OF PREDATORY ANIMALS
The United States Biological
Survey will continue its preda
tory investigatiorls in Alaska for
an indefinite period, its object be
ing to devise a program by which
the predators can be controlled
and their depredations on game
animals ajid birds curtailed as
much as possible, said H. R. Gub
ser, leader for the bureau in its
Alaska work in Juneau, reports
the Empire.
After conferring with H. W. Ter
hune, Alaska Agent of the Bio
logical Survey, on his own work in
the Territory, Mr. Gubser will
leave in a few days for an ex
tended field trip that will take
him from the lower Kuskokwim
River areas as far north as Point
Barrow. It probably will require
him one year to cover this re
gion, and make investigations.
Reports reaching the bureau in
Juneau, Mr. Gubser said, prove
that coyotes now range on the
south to Point Barrow .They are
said to be numerous on the Kenai,
in Mt. McKinley National Park,
the Kuskokwim and Innoko dis
tricts.
Vessels in port today included
the MS Dorothy, SS Starr, Bill,
Roy, Joan, Marian and the B. F.

ing the popular game.
