Pacific Coast Oadlfish Company of ..hat city, In the :warm inland lakes .of Ore- gon, Washington, British Co'lum'bia and Ala'sica, salmon spawn and lay their eggs. When ,the eggs hatch, bhe young seaman descend the rivers to the 'Pacific, there to wander the ocean for four years. What they do and where 'they go during that period is a mysterry. Another mystery is the fact than. after 'four years, instinct guides them hone to the river and lake of their birth. Last season Brit- ish Columbia's great Fraser River run of limning salmon •comvpletely sur- prised fishermen. Normally they run around ,the .southern tip of Vancouv- er Island, and through the Straits of Juan de Fuca, where they are caught by waiting American fishermen before reaching their native 'Canadian Wat- ers. In 19136, however, they changed this, but arrived at the same place. Favoring Canadian waters .they rounded the northern •end of Van- couver Island leaving American -fish- boats •emp'ty while Canadian !Fraser River men netted- over $10,000,0010 in a few weeks with each :fis'h worth some 60 cents, 'Elsewhere along the British 'Columbia ..coast from Van- tcouver north, '0,0010: connect- ed ,with the industry .cantght salmon' worth an'oth'er ''11,000,000 while 'from Alaska, where the business in .prop- erty alone represents 'over $112,1000000 alt Bristol Bay, came .reports of catch- es worth ?O,00101,000 'with 110000 pl'oyed. Salmon 'fishing is .usually an uncer- tain business. Millions must be spent annually on 'preparations without 'ad- vance knowledge of how big the run will be. In the spring nets are repair- ed, boats are overhauled, can'n'ery ma- chinery is oiled, everything is made ready for the return of the wandering salmon, An the fish eitier the 'rivers on their last- d'aeh to the spawning grounds they are caught. So ,great was phis harvest for many years that there was danger of complete depletion. 'Sock- eye salmon treaties 'resulted, between Canada and :the United' States.

Sworn affidavits, •Am- ei'ican fis'iiery officials declare, have gone forward to ISeoretary of State Cordell Hall, cl'aimin'g • the illegal harvesting of 21.1,000 salmon "homing" to the !Alaskan 'breeding geoundis by four Japanese floating canneries and three'trawlers. Upwards of 217,0010 men are mow 'working the extensive +Annerican- C•anadian Pacific 'Fisheries. Last sea- s'on's catch .set new records, ;but in the innumerable small fishing ham- lets dotting the Pacific coast from Cape 'Flattery to 'the Bering, fisher- men worry. Are the huge robot ships of Japan, they wonder, to win their $'50,0100,1000 -a -year industry? Last Sep'teni'b'er, Dr. Seiji 'Kondo, professor of bhe Japanese Isneprial (Fisheries school, told :delegates to the tlnstitute of ,Pacific Relations Con- gress •at Yosemite, -Calif., that the ,na- tians interested in the salmon fisher- ies of the 'North 'Pacific should study the future of the fisheries. At the same time, it was thought, Japanese ambassadors were working on a sec- ret 'treaty with Germany—for all in- tents ant purposes a'gain'st their ,com- mon foe, Russia. This is the reason, at least, accepted by West Coast fish- ermen, why Russia refused to sign a treaty with Japan. to extend the Nipponese fishing sights in Siberian waters. (Finally Japanese diplomacy, won. The Russians extended the treaty an- other year, 'but made no promises as to what would happen at the end of 11913V. In the event that Russia shuts Ja- pan from these waters, where the Nip- ponese annually harvest .more than half their total catch, the large fish- ing ships of the Tokio Fishing In- stitute are expected to make •a regu- lar practice o;f warking the 'Wash- ington, British 'Columbia and Alas- kan fisheries. Last season six '115y000 - ton liners made extensive surveys of the. salmon run's off Alaska's Bristol Bay, according to Frank T. Bell, Un- ited Staes Fisheries' Commissioner of Seattle. "Nobody actually knows 'how much salmon :fishing the Japanese did," Mr. Beall said. "But they did have the op - partiality to study the ehanmels down whichthes'alrnon run, and same mo- titer ships, 'from which 'fishing sam- pans worked, 'kept lookouts on the masts. Under our present rigid con- trol the salmon run would ,continue indefinitely. But if the Japanese fish- ing incre'a.ses•, ,all the regu'l'ations and restrictions which the United States ,has imposed would be far naught." The �Ha cuyo Maru, owned by the Tokio Fishing Institute, had, li'ttl'e. trouble last year !n catching 600 cases of first quality sockeye salmon, ac, cording to 'the Pacific Fisherman of Seattle. This report was denied in Tbki o but the Japan Canned ed Food Tines did admit that 31300 tins of codfish were taken from the Bristol Bay area, stating they were intended for sale in the United .States. This. year, no Seattle cad fishers cleared for the Alaskan coast, according to Capt: ';l.

In Japanese and Russian w'a'ters, however, there have been no closed seasons. Instead of thousands of in- dividual fishermen, great ocean-going vessels stretch out nets for miles, As a result, claim 'American and Canad- ian fishermen, few fish escape. This fact, together with the prab- ability that Russia may intend to op- erate her own fisheries, is said to 'ex- plain why Japanese 'fishing vessels studied North American fisheries last season; 'why ,they are again 'active this year.
