PARIS, May 8.-Although the
average French angler never catches
any fish, as any observer Of the banks
of the Seine can readily observe, the
sport Of Isaak Walton is sacred in
France. With great Indignation the
senate has just turned down a sugges-
ton that, in order to bolster up the
franc, fishing permits be issued. like
hunting permits. for the sum Of 100
francs.
Hunting is pleasure only for
those who have certain means" de
clared Senator Brenier Socialist. THE
sport OF fishing is the sport Of the
most humble. To impose a tax upon
them would risk depriving them Of a
modest pleasure and a day in the
open air"
The Senate agreed with him. and
the fishing license proposal was
