Let me say to the gentleman from Virginia that Alaska is a large Territory. with an area of about 580.000 square miles. Alaskan waters constitute some of the finest fishing grounds on earth. yet the people who live there are not allowed to make a living out of their own waters because those traps are owned by monopolies which ship In a bunch of Chinese coolies or bring in people from elsewhere during the short season the salmon are going up the streams. thus leaving the people of Alaska without employment. What I should like to see is the same policy put into effect in Alaska that Canada has put into effect in British Columbia and other Maritime Provinces. and what various States of this Union have done. and give the individual citizen of Alaska the right to make a living on his own fishing grounds.
