HOOVER, URGING
WHITE FISH BILL
President Asks for Prompt
Passage of Pending Fish
cries Conservtion Bill.

WASHINGTON, May s. = Joining
Secretary of Commerce Hoover in
the advocacy of legislation to con-
serve the Alaskan fisheries, Presi-
dent Coolidge yesterday sent a let
ter to Senator Wesley l.. Jones,
Chairman of the Commerce Com
mittee, urging the prompt passage
of the pending White Bill designed
to prevent monopolies and special
privileges in the fisheries and es-
uablishing fisheries reserves.
The Presidents letter closely fol-
lowed the previous statement given
out by Secretary Hoover challenging
the foes of the bill to oppose the
measure on its merits rather than
through "slandering the men who
have the responsibility OF protecting
the fisheries industry"
President Coolidge said:
I'm my message at the opening
of Congress | called attention to
the necessity of legislation to pre-
serve the Alaskan fisheries from de-
struction. Thess fisheries are in a
precarious condition, the salmon
being rapidly depleted. In many
sections there is grave danger of
extinction.
This situation cannot be met
under existing lave | am advised
that the pending bill in its present
form affords ample powers for the
preservation of this great but fast
failing source of food supply of the
American people. In the long run
it is in the interest of both can
ners and fishermen that the in
dustry be preserved"
