came as a public surprise,
but little more so than did
the selection of the former
secretary of state as his sue
cessor.
The resignation of the only man
to be both president and chief JUS
tice was presented TO the presi-
dent just before noon by a son,
Robert A. Taft. He had brought it
to Washington from Asheville
where Mr.. Taft had been resting
for three weeks after a recurrence
of an old organic ailment.
Accepting the resignation with
reluctance, Mr.. Hoover determined
to name a successor as speedily
as possible so that there might be
the minimum delay in handling the
business of the court.
Hughes Accepts Office
He located Mr.. Hughes in New
York by long distance telephone,
offered him the post, and there
was a prompt acceptance.
The nomination Immediately was
prepared and transmitted to the
senate after A p. m. Prompt con-
firmation is looked for with the
expectation that Mr.. Hughes will
take his place as chief justice in
the very near future.
From the moment of the an
nouncement of the resignation of
Mr.. Taft until the nomination of
Mr.. Hughes was sent to the SEN
ate, the belief had been fairly gen.
eral in both official and supreme
court circles that Associate JUS
tice Harlon Fiske would be elevat-
ed to the highest judicial post in
the country.
By speedily filling the post, the
chief executive cut short specula-

minion Government as necessary for conservation for that district, each fisherman rot only secures a fair return cf that supply but avoids penalizing himself with shorter fishing season.
 "5 What is true of the neces- sity of limiting fishing licenses, is also true of limiting cannery licens- es. The more cannery licenses is- sued, the greater will be the amount of gear in the water, thereby con- tinuing the vicious circle of more fishermen and fewer fishing days, also as well as less fish for each cannery, although overhead ex- penses remain the same. Conser- vation without economical produc- tion is Of no value to either the fishermen, operators, or the pub lie at large.
 Restriction of Licenses
 Recognizing these facts and with the view of enabling the whole in dustry to get back on stable basis, we propose for the next five years to restrict cannery, and sal mon dry saltery licenses to those plants already in existence and which were operated and or H. censed in 1928 and 1929. These licenses will be issued on the con- dition that they only receive fish from a limited number of gillnets and (or) seines in a given area

NEW FISHERIES POLICY SET UP
 BY CANADIANS
Will Wipe Out Competition by Limiting Cannery,
 Fishing Licenses

A new fisheries policy in which competitive canning and fishing would be abolished through the limitation of both canning and fishing licenses was recently pro- nounced for British Columbia by s. L. Howe, Provincial Commits sioner of Fisheries for that Pro- vince. His statement is regarded as one of the most important in the history of the salmon fishing industry in that Province.
 It is claimed for the policy that it is designed to protect existing investment, the fishermen engaged in the industry, and to conserve the fishery resources. It is de- signed to put an end to competi- tive effort by limiting gear and eqa ament with which the industry ls seliously burdened.
 Limitation of Licenses
 he notable features of the new pol are:
 - itation for five years of the issaa nee of licenses to salmon can oerg and dry saltery operations to plants now in existence and where s opera led or licenses in 1928 or 1929: s the ssuance of licenses on the eono ion that each plant will re- eeFs fish only from a designated aala nt of gear; failure to comply '9it this requirement. to result in rawal of licenses; similar re-
 'ons will apply to pilchard ton plants pending the out come of current investigations; no
 a- ction on fresh fish or freezing pc lions.
 issuance of licenses to plants ana their regulation is within the authority of the Provincial Gov ernment. The issuance of licenses to and regulation of individual fishermen is under the Dominion Government. Thus, while it is not possible for the Province to directly restrict the number of fish ermen's licenses to be issued in any area, by limiting the gear from which any cannery may receive fish it accomplishes that end in- directly
 Conditions are Stated
 Commissioner Howe announced the new policy at an open meet ing in Vancouver recently at which all of the fishing interests were represented. He set up the con- ditions briefly as follows
 T. There is more or less fixed supply of fish.
 '2.g To conserve that supply the Federal Government must endea- vor to permit by legislation and regulations a regular and adequate cscapement of fish.
 B To achieve that object the Federal authorities specify the max mum number of fishing licenses that may be operated in an area to maintain the minimum A8-hour weekly closed period. If the max mum number of licenses is ex- ceeded then the Federal authori- ties impose an added weekly closed time of anywhere up to another f5 hours, leaving only three days fishing
 i. It is obvious that with an excessive number of fishermen the less will be the proportion of the supply for each. with consequent decreased earnings; but on the dh- CT hand should the number of fishermen in any one district not exceed the number set by the Do
