STANDARD OF
 LIVING HIGH
 IN THE J. s,
Economic Progress Brings Results Says Hoover
 m Annual Report

WASHINGTON, Dec Ec, homie. progress during 1927 brought Americans to the highest material living standard this country or any other country has ever known, Secretary Hoover declared today in his annual re- port to the President.
 l A situation of prosperity which he said "has now been character istic of American industry for six years" was maintained. marred only by some continuing depres- sion for agriculture, and some backwardness in individual lines of industry.
 MT. Hoover's statistics showed steady level of wholesale prices, declining slightly in recent months: a maintenance of relative ly large building construction pro- grams; an increase in the expedi- tion of railroad transportation along with bettered service to users; and a year of sound but uneventful growth" in the banking field.
 Foreign underwriting by Ameri. cans during the fiscal year exceed ed that of any corresponding peri cd in the history of the United States, the report said. Foreign capital securities privately taken, plus direct new investments abroad probably raised the total to $1,. $50, 100000 for the year. Financial reconstruction abroad continued on the whole to be encouraging
 American Exports
 The value of American exports during the fiscal year 1926-27 was greater than that of any other ifs. cal year since 1920-21, and when account Is taken of the much low CT price level, as compared with the war years' trade. was the larg- est in our history" MT. Hoover continued. "The value of imports was about 5 per cent less during the last fiscal year. but here again fall in prices occurred after all lowing for which there is a qlian- titive increase"
 New construction undertaken in 1927, amounting to some S7,0O0,- 100000 in value, constituted pow erful factor in maintaining busi- ness activity and prosperity" MT. Hoover added.
 He paid high tribute to the man. agement of American railroads, as- seriing that "the continued ad- vance in the efficiency of the rail ways which has been going on since the war" had reacted favor ably upon the entire economic structure" The rapidity of freight transportation in the United States has increased since 1919 by 90 or 40 per cent.
 Material Prosperity
 In seeking out the causes of the material prosperity MT. Hoover de- scribed. E Dana Durand, of the departments bureau of statistical research. laid down the proposi- tion that Extraordinary increase in the production of American in- dustry during recent years" had most to do with a "corresponding

.HALIDUT MEN
 ARE DIVIDED
Split on Steps to Be Taken
 to Halt Extinction of Fish

SEATTLE, Dec. 2-Division in the halibut industry on the ques. ton of steps to be taken to halt threatened extinction of halibut. was apparent at the final hearing of the International Fisheries Commission.
 The Fishing Vessel Owners As. sociation proposed the annual three months closed season be retained; that fishing be pro. hibited on banks recognized as nurseries" of young halibut, and as spawning grounds.
 Other proposals included the suggestion that marketing of hali. but under six pounds be prohibit. ed and gear likely to catch the smaller halibut be prohibited.
 Both of the latter propositions met with considerable opposition.
 In recommending that tho length of the closed season be un- changed, The Fishing Vessel Own ers' Association revealed that its members by no means were unit ed on this stand. The vote on the proposal showed 19 for exten. sion and 23 against q.
 c. Serwold. who represented the Fishing Vessel Owners Associa- tion, proposed that every fifth vessel be deputized to enforce the law without cost to the oth. CTS. Others suggested official government control with heavy fines for poachers on first ot- fense and confiscation of vessels and gear on second offense.
