STEPS TAKEN HERE
TO PRESERVE BASS
Conservation Laws and Ban
on Sales Advocated to
Protect Game.

Their majesties, the black bass, Of
both the small and large mouth varie-
ties, must survive as game fish for
the sport Of anglers and must be re-
moved from any taint of commercialism
or tndustrialism, it was tentatively de-
cided at conference between officials
OF the Bureau of Fisheries, the De-
partment Of Agriculture and the con-
seryation authorities of Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania
here today at the bureau.
The conference was called by Com
missioner OMalley of the Bureau of
Fisheries to iron out discrepancies in
the laws OF the States neighboring upon
what he described as probably the most
productive bass area on the Eastern
Maryland Sore Spot.
Admitting that Maryland, with no
law prohibiting the sale or Shipment
OF black bass, and with no license law
to govern the catching Of these game
hsh, Is the sore spot In the situation
as regards the Potomac River spawning
grounds of the black bass, Swepson
Earle, Maryland State conservation
commissioner, gave the conference as
surance that in the next session of the
Maryland Legislature, action would be
taken to protect the bass from seiners,
and that probably their sale would be
prohibited.
These measures will be asked by the
conservation authorities Of Maryland,
he told the conference, and concerted
effort also will be made to Danish purse
netting from the waters of the Chesa-
peak Bay. The conference heard COM
plants from DR. M. darcy Magee and
T1aw 90 l. AL
of America, that present conditions sur
rounding bass fishing in Maryland and
purse-net fishing in Chesapeake Bay are
depicting the rightful stores Of game
fish from Maryland waters and rob-
bing the anglers of that State and
neighboring States, including Virginia
and the District of Columbia, of their
rightful heritage Of both fresh and salt
water game fish.
For Ban ON Sales.
John r. Gardiner of the Bureau Of
Fisheries advised the conservation
District to so codify their laws as to
prohibit the sale of black bass in the
markets of their States regardless Of
whether the bass have been taken
legally IN the waters of the State in
which they are offered for sale, or
whether they have been received in the
State by shipment in interstate COM
merce.
At the suggestion Of Commissioner
OMalley the conference named q COM
mittee of representatives to work out O
program of law codifcation sugges-
tionS for conserving the supply of
black bass in nearby waters, and Is con-
tinuing with its deliberations this aft
ernoon.

That is one argument in favor of the alien regis
tration bill offered by its author, Senator Blease
He probably would not need that all-inclusive regis
tration and Identification down home in South Caro-
lima. But if he lost in some great city doubt
less he could prove by these marks that he was the
senator from South Carolina and-"WilI you show me
the way back home, Sue?" And, of course, he'd
get home.
How about applying Bleases principle to every alien
that into this country, tagging each like dog
with voluntary" registration certificate?
1t will not help those fellows to find their way
into the great body of American citizenship.
1t will set the alien aside it will bring all aliens to-
gether in Glass; set apart from the rest of America
branded as different.
But read what these men have to say about alien
registration:
Alfred E. Smith-Ths proposed law would give
the kind of power to administrative body that in
evitably would lead to tyranny and abuse
Senator La Folette-The registration plan involves
spy system. 1t desgnates the alien for supervision
by a bureaucracy and exposes him to humiliation,
which would be most harmful to our efforts for bet
ter understanding between the alien and the ma
tive.
Senator Wagner-The proposal is based on the mar
row and provincial idea that every immigrant must
be viewed with suspicion
The Rev. Thomas Burgess Secretary Foreign-Born
Americans Division, Episcopal Churchill will create
suspicion of American principles and Justice 1t will
retard Americanization.
