SAYS FISH TRADE
r 90. =: WILL EQUAL BEEF
(By United .Press)

Boston, May 10.--Predictions that
the fish industry will rank In a short
time with the beef industry OF the
country in supplying necessary ar
ticle of food to American consumers
was made today by I. M. Taylor.
president of the East Coast Fisheries
company, in an interview with the
United Press.
Taylor was recently appointed by
the Department Of Commerce to make
a special investigation OF the flsh IN
dustry in Europe for the government.
Fish is naturally an economical
food and the development Of the In
dustry on a broad scale will do much
to lower living COSTS" Taylor declar-
ed.
The American people like sea food,
Taylor said, consequently the do
nestle demand is larger than the ex-
port demand which under present
conditions is quite large.
During the war our people were
taught to eat deep sea fish and came
to a realization of the great value of
this food" he said.
"The fish industry of Europe is
very highly developed, employing
several thousand trawlers whereas
the fish industry of the United States
is comparatively undeveloped," Tay-
| lor pointed out. "Our fishing banks
are the largest in the world and
contain an inexhaustible supply OF
fish, he said.
.'The modern steam trawler has a
gigantic harvesting capacity up to
100, 900 pounds day. At present we
have fewer than forty steam trawlers
| in this country.
when our middle western popula-
ton consumes an average OF four
ounces of fish per week, two hundred
additional trawlers will be needed on
this coast" he stated.
