| Summary: | BONE BATTLES JAPAN THREAT. BONE BATTLES JAPAN THREAT WASHINGTON. — (U.P.) — Sen. Homer T. Bone (Dem., Wash.), introduced a resolution in the senate today requesting the secretary of state to take necessary steps to protect American fishing interests in the north Pacific from "aggression by Japanese fishermen." The resolution requests action "as quick as possible" and also asks the secretary to" secure the recognition of the special rights of the United States in the salmon fisheries in Alaskan extra territorial waters." "This is not an attempt to denounce Japan," Bone said. "However, Japanese are sending and preparing to send fishing vessels into the extra-territorial waters off the Alaskan coast." Bone's action follows a senate warning last week by Sen. Lewis B. Schwellenbach (D., Wash.) that a north Pacific and Bering sea fishing areas are in grave danger of invasion by Japanese and European fishing interests.
