LEAGUE EXPECTS MORE U. s. AID FROM HOOVER
By JOSEPH E. SHARkEY GA. p. Correspondent)

GENEVA, Dec. 19.-This inter- national center forsees important changes in the force and direction of American foreign policy as a re- suit of MT Hoover's election.
 Some observers b elieve the American attitude of benevolent aloofness and the. system of send ing so-called observers would give way to a more definite, clear-cut and assertive position. They hold that during the peace conference the United q States enthusiasti- cally assumed world leader ship, that immediately after, in a turmoil of uncertainty, she reject ed this program and withdrew to what many regard as isolation; that shortly after, however, her more positive and helpful clements developed humanistic but rather vague and irresponsible beneyo- lenee towards the re st of the world, and that more recently, the force of circumstances, especially economic, have necessitated a much more definite and precise po- sition
 Henceforth, especially with a stronger control in Senate and House, the opinion was heard that a firmer and more conscious state ment of American policy will prob ably be much more clearly and forcefully expressed.
 U. s. Cooperation
 Authoritative opinion unites in the view that the effect of the Hoover administration on the di- rection of that policy will be great CT accentuation of the economic side of Washington's relations with Geneva.
 During the past year, it is point ed out, there has developed not able tendency for the United States to cooperate in the Leagues inter- national economic activities. It is in the character of Mir Hoover and the general world situation that obseryeIe see signs of a mark ed increase in this kind of CO., operation.
 In the early days a League sup porter, MT Hoover, 1t was re- marked, has of recent years made no public statements on the sub ject until his most important of all speeches accepting the nomi- nation for the presidency There, though re-affirming his party's fun damental doctrine. he went further than any important official has yet gone.
 Obviously, say League people, this promises a very large field of cooperation. Almost anything, they say, could be included under lit, except political" questions, and no one exactly knows where these begin and where they end. Taken in consideration with other lines of cooperation already accepted, for instance in the field of inter- national law, in connection with the World Court or the Law codifi- cation work, it sets no very rigid limit except, of course, immediate membership.

BUREAU ISSUES
 NEW FISHERIES
 RULES FOR 1929
Southeastern Alaska Redis- tricted- Seine Boat
 Size Is Limited

Fishing regulations in Alaska waters for the season of 1929 were approved today by the Secretary of Interior, according to telegraphie . advices received by Capt. M. J. O'Connor, Assistant Agent of the U s. Bureau of Fisheries in charge of local headquarters. Copies are being mailed here but it will be about the end of the year before they are received.
 Advance information, however, received in Seattle said the two Amost important changes in them 5from last year were: redistricting of Southeastern Alaska and restric- tion on the size of seine boats.
 Changes In Dates
 Some changes, it was said, will he made in the seasonal closing dates in the Southeastern Alaska area which will further tend to limit the production: and the regu- lations are designed to bring about a further reduction in the number of traps in the several areas, while new restrictions are placed on other forms of gear. On the whole, limitations of fishing will be ap- preciably more rigorous than last season, though probably less so than some had anticipated.
 According to the Pacific Fisher man, which quotes a preliminary announcement, the principle adopt ed year ago for Southeastern Alaska and Prince William Sound areas, of declaring all water closed to trap fishing, except in specified waters outside of bays and estuaries, will be extended next season to 8ne Alaska Penin. .ssss.ae el1ig1ssssx, Eodls&. asa Cook Inlet areas, which are the remain ing areas where trap fishing is permitted.
 Reducing Traps
 Action has been taken to further reduce the total number of traps that will be approximately 95 Of this number about 60 will be in Southeastern Alaska, 20 in Cook Inlet, and the others in Prince William Sound, Kodiak and Alas ka Peninsula areas. In addition, number of places heretofore open to traps in Southeastern Alaska and Prince William Sound areas have been reduced in extent or en- tirely closed, thus preventing trap expansion in places not previously occupied.
 Another important c h ange is that no part of any floating trap in a greater depth than 100 feet at mean high tide can be more than 900 feet from the shore to the face of the trap at any stage of the tide.
