Their point of view has been explained to the navy department by Captain Clayton Morrisey of the beam trawler Walrus.

us a suitable measure of protection and we will keep up the food fish supply so long as there is Cne vessel 1 left af1oat in the North Atlantic" is the answer of Gloucester ship owners and fishermen to the German sub marine raid on portions of the North Atlantic fishing fleet in July and Au- gust.
 If the enemy planned his descent on these helpless craft for his psy- chological effect he certainly achiev- ed his aim, but the effect was the op- posite from what he sought. 1n- stead of being intimidated by the sinking of many of their vessels. this is true of other parts as well- have set their teeth and by word and act have shown their determination to continue business as usual
 In the period covered by the rald, frob July 9 to August 26, twenty-nine vessels were sunk by the Germans some by shelltire, others by bombs. and at least one, according to it's cap tain. by torpedo. A part of the fleet was sent to the bottom and the trawler Triumph, which was seized by a German submarine and proyid- ed with crew and armament. The fishing craft ranged in size from the tiny Reliance. of 19 tons, one of the sword fishermen sunk on the Georges Bank. to the Eric of 500 tons. sent down south of the Island of Mique- lon. far to the northeast of New Eng land waters. Most of them were or American registry, chiefly owned In Gloucester or Boston, but few hail ed from Canadian and Newfoundland ports: principally Lunenburg, N. 5:
 The sunken vessels totalled 3,elo tons. with an estimated value or more than $9O0,000. The insurance which the owners were able to collect was little more than 50 per cent ot this. Moreover, the replacement cost, un- dr present conditions. would in many cases he more than double the amount which was required to build these crafts. It is figured that ves- sel which cost $15,0O0 a few years ago could not be replaced now for less than $35,000. ,
 The losses, however, have been well distributed. The Gorton-Pew Vessels Company of this city was hob bed fthe greatest number Of vessels, but the Chisholm Corporation,/a ,/also or Gloucester, which lost two modern schooners, sustained the heaviest 1n- diyidual financial damage.
 About one million pounds or nsh, most of which had been caught oy the toilsome method of the hand liner. or captured by the skilful har- lpoon of the swordfish hunter. was returned to the deep. The twenty nine vessels sunk were capable or an annual production of about six mil 1 lion pounds of fish.

 The United States Food Admins tratlon has clearly set forth the mar gin Of profit specified for wholesal- CTS, commission merchants and hrok- CTS as mlXimnm margins only. These profits are, in the opinion of officials, very liberal, and were purposely made broad enough to cover cost Of doing business in all parts of the country. Where merchant is found to be taking full maximum margins. inspectors will insist upon being shown that such dealer is entitled to them.
 ''The action of the government in communicating such q large per cent age of the visible supply of butter makes this timem particularly ap- propriate for check on just what these dealers are doing,' says the Food Administration. We believe that a great number of violations will be uncovered by reason of this in- spection, but hope we are mistaken in this belief''
