“PASS l I* ALASKA.’’
The Prince Rupert Nows Ib ull wrought up over
tlie fact that Unltetl Slates Cuf.oras' officers, admit
tedly acting within the law, have collected tariff
taxes on equipment of vessels, fishing Rear and f*>oti
ll tiffs purchased in Canada hy American fishing boat
and brought Into the Unltetl States. It urged Ameri
can tithing boats to pass up Alaska ports of call and
to Hall directly to the deep sea fishing grounds from
Prince Itupeit, and threaten: that if they do not do
(hat the Canadian port will be closed to American
fishing craft. Writing under the head, "Pass Up
Alaska." Ihe News says:
"Pass up Alaska" is the advice given to
a good many American Helling boats that
bring their catches to tills port. This is the
result (' the efforts of the Customs officers
ul Alaskan ports to prevent fishermen buying
any supplies at Prince Rupert.
To gi t down to concrete cat - > the skipper
cf the Teddy ,1. was, on or about April 2,
compelled to p j duty on tame fishing gear
purchas'd in Prime Rupert, the duty
amounting to fiitj per cent i r just half as
much as the original price. This was don
under the Fordney Act. Apparently the U. K.
Customs officers have a perfect right and r
the Ia\^ to make a charg • of that kind but
at tiie same time it is purely a retaliatory
measure and one deigned lo prevent Am
erican boats buying anything on this side.
Already a vigorous pro' t has been made
‘to Ottawa by Interest'.I purtiis and if con
tinued it in aim the beginning of retalia
tory measures in the part of Canadaians.
I It is an ill ilutily unfair impost as between
live friendly nations:.
The only way in which American fisher
men cart buy gt :r htuo and escape the
possibility of having to pay the excessive
duty is to clear for the deep sea and return
here with their catches without calling at
an Alaskan port. In other words if Alaskans
ate determined to treat them unfairly, it is
lor them to give Alaska the go-by altogether
and "buy all their supplier here. That is the
only way to bring the authorities at t’.ie
Alaskan towns, to their senses.
\W Kiinnlii 1 i Iv I > In Pm* 1 .»• ri I 11 t i v f »•..»/*
trade b: tween Canada end the (’tilted Slates,
and especially Ijotwnn Alaska and British
Columbia. If, however, the American duty
is going to put Pilim Rupert at a disad
vantage, there is nothin?, for it but to re
taliate. We are forced into the tight. The
oniy way out lies in the hands of American
-fishermen. They have the right to clear
direct for the deep sea from Prince Rupert
and let Ketchikan and Petersburg whistle.
They have to choose one or the other and if
they take all their bittiness to tlie Alaskan
towns, as some of them have been doing,
they win aho have to take their fish there
and leave the Canadian port for Canadian
Ash only.
It so. n: ■ ,t pity that such a suggestion
nr this should have to be made, tint self
preservation is one of thi first laws. What
We want is fair treatment. All Iasi spring
1 nited States boats got two cents a pound
more for their catches than Canadians Re
cently ilit! situation lit s been somewhat re
versed. but the gun is -ti!l loaded and next
spring local fishermen will be under tin same
disadvantage unless something is done. If
in addition to the market advantage, Ameri
can fishermen are to bo prevented front
spending any of their money here, the port
would tie better off without them. Then
Canadian boats would have a deeided ad
vantage in tiie markets of the Hast, it is
said, and the tendency would be for Canadian
fish to sell for higher prices.
Ue suggest to the C. S. fishermen that
tltey give the "Pass up Alaska" scheme a
trial. Let them clear for the fishing grounds
instead of tor an Alaskan port and buy all
taelr supplli .< here. Then wo shall see what
we hill » . A club ii the only weapon
to use with some popple.
The News should remember that the Americar
custom; effic -s arc only acting under live law whlcl
l ay are under cath to uphold. it is worth while
*1rr, to recall that it was Canada that refused t<
aciept a reciprocal tariff arrangement with tin
United Suitss;.
In the meantime a great many Alaskans an
laughing UP their sleeves at the proposal to clos’
(he por of Prince It,.pert to American fishing boats
Such action would ... serve to compel the raiL
n.a.1 winch has its Wi, ,rn terminal at Prince
Roper, to ecme to Ketchikan or some other American

Rupert of utCl, benefits as she get; from the trade of

had hoped that the Government would he able to con

who rarely, if ever, kids himself. The temper of the
Arm rican pe; pie is to deal more than liberally with
those who served in the army and navy during the
World War. That fact is proved by the circum
stance that most of the newly elected Senators and
Representatives were pledged to support, a soldiers'
bonus measure. Whether we like it or not, the proba

Delated Discoveries About the League.
(New York Tost.)
What are tIre reasons that have converted Senator
l’opper from opposition to the League of Nations
o the belief that the flitted States ought now to
■ enter the league subject to formal changes in the
'Covenant? The reasons are two. One is the record
jot the League Itself. The second is Lord Robert
| Cecil. The Senator from Pennsylvania now finds
thut "In practice the League is no longer an inter
• national steam roller and an engine of political
manipulation, and it in no longer, "In practice, a voting
'trust of five nations." The League in practice has
turned put much better than the League of "theory
as deduced from its Constitution. it now only
remains to make the Constitution of the League
conform with itr practice, "and Lord Robert Cecil,
I believe, is here to bring the message that these
change., may be made.”
Senator Pepper does not tell us in what respects
it ho League of Nations ever was an International
it team lollcr and an engine of political malilpula
; tU.n. Ih- docs not cite specific charges, for the very
I peed tea on that no such charges can be formu
I lated The Senator from Pennsylvania virtually
! admits at much when he stresses the necessary
j changes in the formal document by which tire
League was created. in other words, t lie steam
j toller tactics and the political manipulation have
, existed only a a 1< ar of what might happen but
I never did.
Those- who believed in the League from the begin
jning felt assured that the dreadful dangers conjured
| up by the irrccoat ill hies never would come to pass,
i firry believed that, whatever the possibilities one
might read into the theory of the League, the
- League in practice would work out exactly as Sma
ller lb ;i| . admits it has worked cut. The "voting
i timet" feature of the League, as supposedly embodied
in the Council, began to vanish witli the first meet
jing cl the League and the self-assertion of t li <■
Aisembly, on which all tiic nations members of the
- League arc represented. To those who saw clearly,
'lie super-state League was always a bogy. Senator
, Pepper now admits that "in pr.ietie " it has turned
iout to be a bogy.

A Wave of Optimism.
(Whi!diim'He Star.)
Optlmitm ir contagious, and somebody lias, cer
tainly brought the disease into Southern Yukon. There
is a spirit of optimism abroad that cannot be wholly
accounted for by the return of so many familiar
i laces who left us for ttie winter months. The open
ling <'f navigation, (lie approach of eel« brat ion day,
i I he return of spring; tliese are all causes for re
juvenation, but there is still a spirit of hope that
iar.no! be accounted for hy any of these. There is a

• Tourists arc coming this year in greater numbers
Itliau ever before. 1 lie Mayo camp is proving itself
latter than people dared to hope. There is serious
talk of beginning work this year cn a dam ut the
head of the canyon, which in itself is assurance of the
liability of the north. Dawson is experiencing the
thrill that Inevitably attends the cceiiing of another
highway to the sea and the consequent competition
in freight anil passenger rates.

tined to receive a steady immigration of people who
will be .permanent residents.

By Ills veto of the resolution by which Attorney
(Iftnetal Rustgard was authorized to attack the val
idity of the Presidential orders creating tisii reserves,
Governor Hone has saved the Territory a large sum
of money and showed that the hand at the helm of

reel's of partisan polities and radical legislation. The
powers of the President are* unquestioned, and it
would lie a waste of money in attempting to question
them.
