this fact, both the cannerymen and
the Bureau of Fisheries talk about
“averages.” In talking with J. R.
Heckman about this fact, the two
of us counted the really successful
traps as being less than 10 in the
Ketchikan district.
We thoroly agree with the
Seattle Weekly however in this,
that business must be considered
from a business “rather than from
a political view.” At the same time,
we hold that “good business is good
politics.”
We would also remind the Seat
tle Weekly, that our entire future
is bound up in Alaska, likewise the
homes and fortunes of our relatives,
mothers, fathers, cousins, sifters,
friends. We are not interested in
bringing ruin upon them. Their
business future depends upon the
ca.nnery system— not upon its evils.
We want a policy that will bring
prosperity not only upon the can
neryman, but also upon these resi
dents who are creating the future
State of Alaska. We will always
maintain that the correct solution
of the fisheries problem is not
merely the salvation of the fish
as Mr. Herbert Hoover, Mr. Henry
0‘Malley, and the cannerymen
maintain; but rather the real prob
blem in Alaska is the preservation
of Fish and Population. Any other
solution of the problem is danger
ous, it is un-American, it is ex
ploitation of a great territory for
mere “dividends."
