WASHINGTON, June 28. This Is
the season for fishing expeditions.
Before the now famous one on Jef
ferson Island was over, another,
quite as significant but fax less talk
ed about hardly mentioned In fact
waa well under way.
Three Important officials are tak
ing part In this one. They left sep
arately last week for Seattle where
they will board a department of
i Mjiimirarii hciglfrir Alaskan waters.
-elsft meiVlcpf the bureau of
0 ' fisheries these trlpswsre nothing to
him. Another Is a member of the
navy intelligence division. That
sounds quite natural a naval man
should be Interested In the deep and
Its denizens.
The third Is a member of the state
department.
Like many fishing trips little fish
ing will be done In the literal sense.'
The Japanese are attending to that
in the littoral sense, the Alaskan
littoral, to be specific.
Officially, the navy and the bur
eau of fisheries are Just Interested
In routine matters, charts and shoals,
and perhaps, our semi-official seals
that live no happily with the mem
bers of the coast guard on- the
Prlbllof Islands.
Officially, the navy will not be In
terested in the copy of a telegram
which It hasn't received yet, but
will, which states that natives have
Just found again tents and other
things with Japanese marking on
one of our islands. The navy will
not even be surprised.
It has heard that surveyors stakes
with Japanese marks have also been
found on our islands. But then lt'.
eh Id tiiat Japanese fishermen are
versatile and some of them have
taken up surveying as a hobby.
They are such enthusiastic surveyors
that they sometimes indulge In It
on foreign soil without even think-,
lng of getting a passport.
The presence of the state depart
ment official on the expedition Is
simple to explain.
