(Douglas Island News)
American fishing industries of the
northwest, operating principally in
Alaska, in conjunction with the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce and espe
cially with the Alaska bureau of that
body, have prepared a strong state
ment which is directed to the presi
dent of the United States and which
goes into detail in defining the hard
ships resulting to the Americans en
gaged in the fishing industry owing
to recent legislation enacted at
Washington. After summing up the
situation as it exists at present, the
memorial to the president closes as
follows:
What are the issues involved?
What would be the inevitable result
of further permitting present condi
tions ?
1st. A purely American industry
would be permanently diverted from
American to Canadian ports.
2nd. The $5,000,000 capital in
vestment of American citizens would
become valueless and be absorbed by
Canada.
3rd. The fishing fleet numbering
hundreds of vessels would pass from
American to Canadian registry.
4th. Thousands of American fish
ermen would eventually be displaced
by Canadian subjects.
5th. American transportation com
panies—water and rail—would be
robbed of the transportation of fish
caught on our own coasts destined to
American markets.
6th. American commerce would
lose the trade benefits incidental to
operation of this $5,000,000 industry
—yet in its infancy.
7th. The control of a valuable
American food supply and of its cost
to American consumers would pass
from the United States to Canada.
The judgment of a Solomon is not
requisite to a just determination of
the question. Shall we rob Ameri
cans of the results of their enterpris
ing industry at the Instance and for
the benefit of Canada, or shall we con
serve American interests regardless
of Canadian protest, confident in the
knowledge that our act of self-pres
ervation imposes no unfair competi
uuii oil nice interests ot Canada?
There can be but one answer. Self
preservation is the first law. If we
destroy ourselves we must gain but
the contempt of other nations who at
tribute our concessions to the ineffi
ciency or fear.
To acquiesce in the protest by
Great Britain in the face of the evi
dence is to shame the spirit of '76
and to humbly and submissively ex
tend our wrists to be manacled as ev
idence of our commercial and indus
trial vassalage. We therefore voice
our protest ■ on behalf of American
institutions and ask the small pro
tection for our industry and our em
ployes that would be afforded by pro
viding “That from and after ninety
days from the passage of this act, no
fresh or frozen halibut or salmon
from the north Pacific ocean or its
tributary waters shall be admitted in
to the United States through any for
eign country, except when the same
shall be in bond from an American
port.”
We, the undersigned, subscribe our
names to the foregoing statement of
the handicaps to and threatened ex
tinction of the American fresh fish
industry which we represent in the
belief that if the facts known to us
and set forth in this statement are
presented to the administration and
congress they will outweigh the uni
informed and uninforming protest of
the British ambassador and that con
gress will immediately provide the
necessary protection.
