Japan Anxious About Dollar
Seeing It As Recovery Index,
Says Aged Finance Minister
BY GLENN BABB
(By Associated Pressl

TOKYO, Dec. president
Roosevelt's monetary policies are
watched with especial anxiety"
by the people of Japan, Korekiyo
Takahashi, the 79-year-old finance
minister and former premier, said
here in strong plea for early
sterilization of world currencies.
Toward the gigantic effort of
the NRA the attitude of Japan is
one of mingled hope and fear, Mr..
Takahashi continued-hope that it
will revive American purchasing
power and thereby restore Japan's
richest market. and fear lest
tariffs imposed to safeguard
American industry operating I'M
der codes, will curtaiI the BOOM
ing expansion of japanese trade.
Calls Dollar. World Key
Without waiting for the inter-
viewer to breach the subject, Mr..
Takahashi opened comment on the
gyrations of the dollar. He spoke
vigorously and incisively. using
Japanese for the most part, but
breaking into clear-cut English
when the interpreter failed to
drive home point.
"The first requisite for inn
provement of world trade is
sterilization of exchange rates"
Mr.. Takahashi said. For this
reason we in Japan are watching
with especial anxiety the monetary
experiments conducted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Sterilization of the dollar
would contribute more than any
other single factor to dissipation
of the present chaos and UNI
certainty in the world trade
situation.
Until exchanges are stabilized
all trade is speculative. This evil
must be eliminated. 1t enters in
to the industrial life of each
nation, into the political decisions
of governments. Thus it directly
affects the welfare Of the common
people of every nation.
Regrets Tariff Walls
"The remedy for this situation
lies primarily within the power of
the American government; to a
less extent it depends on the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France,
Germany and Italy.
"The economic recovery of
Japan is closely linked with the
NRA and the outlook for early
enforcement of its provisions for
tariff barriers against imports
threatening American industries
under its codes. We are waiting
to see how far this will exclude
Japanese manufacturers
1T is regrettable feature of
our present foreign trade boom
that it is producing a tendency
throughout the world to raise walls
against japanese goods. For this
reason we can not be optimistic
over the outlook for our over

80 per cent larger in yen values
than for the corresponding period
of 1882.
Our economic recovery is well
underway, but is still confined to
certain industries and classes.
Distress prevails in the country
side and fishing villages and
genuine prosperity can not be
said to have returned until pur-
chasing power is restored to our
millions of small farmers and

The revival thus far is due to

ROD AND STREAM
BY PERRY MILLER

TINE poor old Potomac Is in what
might be called chronic state
Of muditis. The river is reported
muddy at Harpers Ferry and
is badly discolored around Chain
Bridge and off the Speedway. The con-
dition Of the river around Washington
is being aggravated by the pumping
off Of mud from the Dalecarlia Reser-
voir, but last week I motored up to
Cabin John Bridge, and the farther
upstream I went the muddier the river
appeared to be. Just where all this
mud is coming from I don't know, but
I do know that from reports received,
few fish are being caught in the river
around Chain Bridge at the present
time.
Last Thursday the bass season opened
in Virginia east of the Blue Ridge
Mountains West of the mountains the
season for bass opens on July !. At
the present time anglers can fish for
large-mouth bass in creeks and coves
on the lower Potomac and anywhere
else east Of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains. Virginia bass streams are re-
ported 10 nave Deen well STOCKED WltQ
bass since last Fall and anglers may
expect good results. Virginia requires
a license to fish anywhere in the State,
either in tidewater or above tide
water, SO anglers are warned to pro-
cure licenses before attempting to fish
In that State.
Reports last week from saltwater
fishing grounds indicate that the hard
heads have separated and the real
sport in catching these denizens of
the deep has commenced in earnest
The best fishing at the present time
is across the bay around Tilghmans
Island, Sharps Island, Poplar Island
and Bloody Point Light, located at the
entrance to Eastern Bay.
Last Monday afternoon DR.. M Darcy
Magee, William NICK. Stowell and Will
bur Leach joined the writer on a fish
ing trip to Tflghmans Island. We were
the guests Of the Tilghman Guides As
sociation, and what a trip we had!
At Annapolis we were joined by Francis
P. Heithiser Of the Claiborne An

Island week ago. They anchored first
in comparatively shallow water and
caught lis hardheads between the
hours Of 7:30 and 10 pm. and then
moved out in the Bay into water 40
feet deep and made another catch Of
140. making a total catch Of 255 hard
heads.
Capt. c. F. Willoughby at Ridge, Mo,
reports that the hardheads are biting
fine off his place on what is known
as Point-No-Point and that week ago
his party landed 80 hardheads and 4
trout. He said that the fish were biting
best in the late afternoon and early
evening. Capt. Willoughby has a new
boat So feet long, feet wide. capable
of handling 10 anglers comfortably.
All fishing grounds along our side
of the Bay report catches of fish the
past week. The first report this season
from off Franklin Manor Beach comes
from Edward T. Fenwick, o. B. Roberts
and John Fletcher. Fishing at night,
they made catch Of 80 hardheads and
report that the fish bit on shrimp in
preference to bloodworms.

ports that John Briscoe. States attor-
ney for st. Marys County. with Chesley
Swami of Washington and Willie Combs
and Thomas Mckay of Leonardtown,
fishing on S. W. Middles in the bay
last Sunday afternoon, landed 81 blues
trolling, and that these fish weighed
from 3 to pounds. This party of en-
thusiastS also hooked three trout and a
large number of hardheadS
Knight also informs us that Walter
Owen, local angler fishing off Black
istones Island last Sunday landed 20
hardheads and that some of them
weighed between 2 and 3 pounds.
Capt. Tom Trott, who does all his
fishing in the Lower Potomac and in
to his favorite fishing spots after an
illness, and celebrated his return with a
catch of rockflsh off Tall T1mbers last
Sunday.
George Knight reports that the Ii
censed crabbers are up in arms over the
taking of under sized crabs from the
waters Of Bretton's Bay. He said this
was being done by young boys and
colored men, and that in consequence

Herring Bay, well known to many
local anglers, was the place selected by
a party of local anglers Thursday
afternoon, consisting Of David A. Hart
assistant district attorney; Denny
Hughes, John Auffenberg and Guy
Rome. These anglers selected Johnny
Maniford as their guide and landed 66
hardhead, which Is a mighty good catch
for four anglers.
Laying aside their worries over the
banking situation, Howard Norton,
George Humphreys, Howard Wilkins,
Max Stowel and George Walker sought

preague, Va, last week These follow
ers Of Izaak Walton in two days fishing
landed II kingfish, 100 black sea bass,
10 trout and blues. They selected
Capt. Buck Parker as their guide and
fished both in the bay and outside on
the ocean. They report that while they
had a wonderful time, they did not
catch as many fish as they have in the
past. These same anglers have visited

have numbered ITS fish, because know
at least IS small heardheads were

not so small either The fish were
biting just as well when we stopped
fishing as they did when we started,
and the only reason We quit was on
account of an approaching storm.
Many a time two big hardheads
were brought to the surface by different
anglers, and honestly think we would

had not been compelled to quit.

80 hardheads. The following week I
f1shed at the same hour and caught
only six. Last Saturday, fishing at the
same hour, four of us caught 100 in
the short time of one and one-half
hours.
In your article last Sunday you
stated that there seems to be common
belief that fish can't be caught during
northeast wind, but that it was not
your belief You are right because our
100 fish were caught during north
east wind. Another reason why some
anglers are in disagreement with
you Is because you will publish reports
of large catches being made in certain
places and when they go out the follow
ing week nothing is caught. The rea-
son for this, I believe, is the tidal con-
ditions. My own experience, during the
past three weeks especially, as well as
the past few years, bears me out on this.
Tides are almost exactly opposite at
weekly intervals and what is good fish
ing time on a certain day-and, after
all, most people are in the mood to fish
usually in the afternoon-is bad time
week later.
MY fishing was done-that is, when
best results were obtained-during slack
ming. When the force of the ebb tide
began to set in fish stopped biting, so
we left for our mooring In Herring Bay"
