PAGE SIX seWion two The Diplomatic Pouch WASHINGTON The foUanrin* letters were recently answered by the Department ol State. Enclosed is a copy of the letter we are planning to send to the various Heads ol State. Is there a law of any kind against directing a letter to the head of state of a communist nation? M. S. Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Mr. S.: Any citizen of this country is free to write to whomever he pleases at home or abroad. The Department of State, accordingly, would neither approve nor disapprove oi your correspondence with Heads of State of communist countries. We do, however, feel obliged to point out that correspondence between citizens of the United States and communist countries is subject to use as a vehicle for the dissemination of communist propaganda. *» * * I’m trying to write a book about Captain Prince S. Crowell of Massachusettts, who was a director of the Pacific Guana Com uany. Did he, or the firm, lay claim to the Swan' Islands? I note that Honduras still claims the islands. B. M. L. Onset, Mass. Dear Miss L.: We find no evidence in the Department’s files that Captain Crowell himself ever claimed the Swan Islands. On December 18, 1882. the Pacific Guana Company of Boston purcha td the rights to the Swan Islands from Mr. John M. S. Williams, of Boston On December 24, 1895, the Pacific Guana Company sold its rights to the Swan Islands to Mr. Warren K. Blodgett, of Boston. For a general summary of the Swan Islands question, we refer you to Green H. Hack worth, “Digest of International Law" (Wash ington, 1940), volume I, pages 516-520. ** * * I have just returned from a conference where a young lay missionary spoke of conditions in Pakistan. He is deeply con cerned about the sort of people we are send ing over there to • represent our nation. Cocktail parties are a must, he says, in a nation of religious abstainers. I had for years been concerned about our ‘“cocktail" image in countries where abstinence is the norm, but thought maybe I was being prud ish. It looks like I wasn’t. What do you Sports Afield By TED RESTING Fish should be strung through the lower jaw only. What’s wrong with string ing through the both lips? A fish’s nostrils are only shallow pits not opening back, and his lips are stiff, hard. If your lips were taped together in the middle, you could breathe through your nbse, or open your lips at just one side to do so; but a fish obviously can do neither. Therefore, if his lips are practically fastened together in the middle, so little water can get through that he immediately begins to weaken and slowly die. Also, when a bass is strung through both lips, his flopping around tears the thin parts of his upper jaw very badly and. it soon be comes suffused and discol ored with blood so when you bring him in to show him off to your friends, he presents a disgusting rather than an admirable appear ance. A walleye is much like a bass in this respect. “A pike has a still more ex tensive area of very thin tissue on his upper jaw, so he'll look terriblv mangled and nasty if strung through lips,” warns Jason Lucas. Angling Editor of Sports Afield Magazine. Remember not to leave that stringer of fish out when running full out —it will pull your boat sidewise and slow you down. At slow speeds, there is little prob lem of drag, as the fish’s mouths are not held open. There’s another important angle to the question of how ) P 'Barclay’s WdtF A4 | dWk # our ® on r ■KnTEvCTi harclaji 01 n Bourbon $055 $025 P wo ' think? A. A. L. Odem, Texas Dear Mrs. L.: With regard tp your comments on officia. functions in Pakistan, it is the general prac tice of our representatives to serve nonalco .lolic refreshments as well as alcoholic bev rages at cocktail parties, so that either is available to Pakistanis and other guests Many Pakistais do,consume alcoholic bever ages and serve them to guests in their owt omes. In Pakistan alcoholic beverages ar. manuiactureu, imported and ottered tot sale. As we would not expect Pakistani citizen; resident in the United States to become users of alcohol if they do not so desire, similarly we do not expect Americans tc abstain because they are living in a land in which many of the inhabitants do not use alcohol. Vve do expect luily, however, that official Americans abroad will conduct them selves in a manner which will reflect credit on themselves and their country. We appreciate your concern over our image abroad. This is a responsibility we all share. ** * * At college there have been many dis cussions on what we are doing and why we are doing it as regards American foreign policy. The only major point of agreement is that we don’t know what to agree on. 1 would like an explanation of American foreign policy throughout the world. W. H. Alliance, Ohio Dear Mr. H.: We believe the best way for you to keep informed of developments in our foreigr policy is to subscribe to'trie of the Depart ment of State's publications on foreign re lations. “Foreign Policy Briefs” is a short, bi-weekly publication which costs $1.25 a year. The “Department of State Bulletin", which contains detailed articles by the Pres ident, the Secretary of State and other lead ers, comes out weekly and costs $lO per year. Both can be subscribed to by writing the Superintendent of Documents, Govern ment Printing Office, Washington. D. C. 20402. ** * * Do you have an inquiry? Send it to: “The Diplomatic Pouch’’ P/MS, Room 4835 V. S. Department of State Washington, D. C. 20520 to string your fish: You may have on your ,stringer as many as .you want to take in—which, if you’re a sports man rather than a fish hog, will often be fewer than the law allows. But you keep on fishing for sport with artificials, so as not to hook the fish deeply and injure them badly and releasing them. And you happen to land one much larger than any you already have. If each is strung with a wire snap through the ex treme forward part of the lower jaw, behind his hard lip, there will be only a tiny hole there (which will soon heal), and he’ll look as fresh as when you first caught him—so you can feel justified in liberating your smallest to put that big one on instead. Os course, no body with the most rudi mentary notions of sports manship, or even decency, would turn a fish loose with his upper jaw bodly muti lated by two-lip stringing.
