Chairman of the Resolutions Committee, read the following 

 resolutions : 



Alaskan Salmon Fisheries 



Whereas, The Congress of the United States has not adopted legis- 

 lation for the administration of the fisheries of Alaska which will give 

 the Secretary of Commerce authority adequate for the control and preser- 

 vation of the salmon industry of Alaska, and 



Whereas, To meet the existing emergency reservations have been 

 created by the exercise of the power vested in the President under which 

 the necessary restrictions on operations have been applied in the districts 

 which include Cook Inlet, Kodiak and Afognak Islands, Bristol Bay, 

 Alaska Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands, and 



Whereas, A similar situation exists in the central and southeastern 

 districts of Alaska which threatens the continuance of the salmon fishery 

 A'ou' therefore he it resolved, That it is the sense of the American 

 Fisheries Society in convention assembled at St. Louis, September 17, 

 18, and 19, 1923, that we heartily endorse the policy inaugurated by the 

 ci-eation of these reserves and recommend that further action of this 

 nature be taken by the creation of reservations which will include all 

 of the fishing districts of Alaska not covered by the reservations already 

 in existence.
