NEGOTIATIONS IN TOKYO
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. While of
course It wouldn't be admitted of
ficially for a second, the United states
embassy at Tokyo Is staging a diplo
matic race with certain organized
American citizens who want action
and threaten to take It by direct
route if diplomacy fall.
The subject of the negotiations has
nothing to do with what Is going on
at Brussels. It Involves the safety
on the high sea of several million
salmon and the welfare and liveli
hood of thousands of American citi
zens In the fishing Industry.
In other words, the situation cre
ated by the persistent depiction of
the aalmon In Bristol Bay of Alaska
by Japanese fishing fleets Is reaching'
a climax.
The members of the Paclflo mari
time union have declared that they
wlU picket Japanese boats If the Jap
anese don't stop their activities In
Alaskan waters. That la their solu
tion If the government falls them.
Anthony Dlmond. Alaskan delegate
member of the house of representa
tives, wants to settle the question by
legislation which would push our ter
ritorial watere clear out to the edge
of the "continental shelf" and turn
a great section of the "high seas"
over to American and Canadian Jur
isdiction. Mr. Dlmond Intends to Introduce
his bill this session, but he'i wait
ing OB the state department's say-so
before he pushes it.
And that's where the rub comes
In, because whUo the state depart
ment Is off Iclally ''silent, there arc
sub-surface Indications that Its law
yers feel that the only way the con
troversy can be settled Is by Inter
national arbitration.
Precedent Is at lenst ten points of
the law. and there Is the famous
Bering Sea arbitration, which found
against the United States. It stated
that a good Amerlcnn seal, born and
educated on American soil, could "be
legally shot and skinned by foreign
era at sea.
The majority of the arbltratora
then (1882). Including Mr. Justice
Harlln, decided that the United
k States had no property rights In fur
seal outside the three-mile limit.
Before this decision. United States
revenue cutters went out and took
the pelt away from Russian and
Japanese and English scalers and
blood filled many a scupper. Fol
lowing the award of the arbitration
board, the Bering Sea treaty was
signed. The other nations agreed to
stop shooting our seals, but America
stiU pays the excluded nations for
share of our own catch.
Justice seems to be on the side
of the United States in the present
ease. We have spent millions to
build up the salmon industry, and
strictly regulated the fishing amount
of catch, and season. Japan marches
In and abides by no regulations. Jn
fact, she Insisted that she caught
no salmon until ovir airplanes swept
over her floating canneries and pho
tographed the fish on the boat deck.
But International law still sets a
Button's territorial waters at three
miles the range of a cannon In the
ancient days when the limit was es
' tanllshed. The rest of the sea Is
free.
Edward Allen, member of the Canadian-American
fisheries commission,
doesn't go along with the Interna
tional lawyers, think It la "unsound
ly fatalistic" to hark back to the
"three-mile" rule.
But the state department thinks
It can settle the matter according
to Hoyle. It might, for Instance, sug
gen to the Japanese that. If they
don't stop crabbing the American sal
mon Industry, the United States
mlaht stop buying their crab-meat.
Since the Japanese fishing fleet Is
n auxiliary of the Japanese navy and

State Control Of Relief And
Repeal Of Profits Tax
Urged Collapse Quiz
Planned.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va., Nov. 6 PJ The Investment
Banker Association of America to
day blamed the autumn collapse In
the securities markets partly ou fed
eral tax laws and heard a former new
ileal treasury undersecretary condemn
administration spending policies as
"destructive of self government and
contrary to the welfare and happi
ness of the people."
In his first public address since he
left his treasury post In February.
1P36, Thomas Jefferson Collldgc as
serted the appropriating of huge gov
ernment funds by a Washington bu
reaucracy" was causing a "centraliza
tion of power in remote government"
which was "exactly what our ances
tors tried to prevent through the
constitution."
The Boston banker urged "that the
federal government at' once give up
the direction of all this varied welfare
work having to do with the Individ
ual, and turn the full responsibility
back to the states and local govern
ments." He said tt could be done -"without
financial difficulties" and suggested
the federal government apportion cer
tain of Its revenues among the states
on a population or over-fixed basis.
The association adopted resolutions
advocating "repeal or substantial
modification" of both the capital
gains and undistributed profits taxes."
The resolution on the capital gains
levy said, "In the opinion of the as
sociation, among other harmful ef
fects, this tax has been tn part re
sponsible for , the Impairment of val
ues which lias lately taken place
upon the public securities markets In
this country "
A second resolution said ''the un
distributed profits tax has weakened
the current financial position of many
corporations, resulting In a less fa
vorable credit standing and conse
quent necessity of curtailing expenses
and reducing the number of employ
es." NEW YORK, Nov. . jJp The big
gest "bear" hunt in the history of
Wall street was on tonight in an ef
fort to learn whether the .current
stock market slump was deliberately
manipulated.
It was undertaken by the twenti
eth century fund an independent
endowed foundation which has been
critical of market practices In the
past at the request of the stock ex
change. The investigation will run most of
the winter, with a corps of perhaps
30 expert auditors digging deep into
the records of "short" sales and what
effect these "bear" operations have
on falling prices.
The results will be published, the
fund promised, "no matter what they
may be." It added:
"The public, as well as the ex
change and Its members, should know
to what degree and in what ways
short selling operations have affected
the drastic decline in security
values during recent months.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (UP)

Jurors for a "verdict four-square with

- It's still strictly a speculative and

Another stunning series of posi

life to get a 13-13 draw with under

Ohio State, needing only to get past

Minnesota, now favored to gain un

ty, who Is held in the county Jail

tion of a four-year term, when "good
time" credits entitled him to liberty.

"conspiracy" against County Clerk
George R. Carter, Deputy District At
torney George W. Nellson and former

present officials "plotted the political
and personal ruin" of Fehl, through

Clauses.
ROME, Nov. 8. (AP) Fascists
warned the world tonight the mili
tary forces of Italy, Germany and
Japan were prepared to back the
tripower antl-Comm unlet pact signed
today.
They Intimated the brief agree
ment, which makes Italy a charter
member of the German-Japanese
anti-Bolshevist front, binds the three
powers to a "collaboration" which
goes beyond even the fight on Com
munism. Officials emphasized the pact was
not directed against any country
not even Russia, Mwhlch may have
all the Communism It wants as long
as ahe keeps it at home."
Italian writers Interpreted the
agreement tn terms of tha military
forces of the three powers. Virgin. o
Gayda, leading comment to, said
2,000,000 tons of warships and .200,
000,000 men are now at the disposal
of tha an tl -Communist front, '
The agreement contains no mili
tary clauses but binds the signatories
to full exchange of Information on
the world spread of Communism and
the means necessary to combat it.
The brief protocol signed today af
firmed the unity of the three powers
and brought Italy Into the pact as
though she had been an original
signatory when the German-Japanese
agreement waa reached Nov. 25. 1036.
Japan, "which Is engaged In a
