There has been constant bicker-
ing between the commercial in
tereStS, the Sportsmen and the
conservationiStS, All sides have
had their grievances, some with
just cause and others only fancied.
The sportsmen against the indiS-
criminate use of nets with small
mesh that would take everything
in it's way, large and small, and
If the markets happen to be
loaded, dumping them overheard
in order to keep the prices up.
The fishermen against the con-
servationist for trying to have
laws passed that they thought
would take away their livelihood.
Runs Into Big Money
Under a system where anything
went, marketmen have been pry-
ing between two and three billion
pounds of fish out of tidal waters
every year. The wholesale value
of this catch is over a hundred
million and employs a hundred
thousand men.
The sportsmen were interested
to the tune of $115 5,295, $40 in the
year 1888, for, according to Com.
missioner Bell of the U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries, that is just what
they spent in order to enjoy their
sport.
Two meetings this past year
seem to point to better under
standing and the realization of
the fact that all sides have a vital
interest at stake.
The first was when, for the first
time to our knowledge, representa-
tiveS of commercial interests met
with conserva tionists at Montreal
in September and expressed a
desire to work for sane conserva-
ton. Also many of the rank and
file of marketmen have stated
that they will welcome good laws,
because they would be the biggest
losers if everlasting depletes the
stocks of fish, which at this time
constitutes about one eighth of
the total flesh food eaten by the
nation.
Protection Endorsed
The second was the meeting of
commissions of three States with
interested fishing clubs and the
Endorsement of plans by the Salt
Water Anglers of America for the
protection and increase of salt
water fishes.
These plans aim to substitute
science for conflict in an orderly
process of safeguarding both the
market and the sport supply of
fish and ultimately will effect
everyone who fishes in the salt
waters of the United States.
With everyone working to-
gether and for the same cause,
it shouldn't take long to get
additional appropriations through
Congress to enable the Bureau of
Fisheries to find out what is
still to be learned about ocean
fishes and adding it to what
they already know, formulate a
plan whereby the threat of ex-
tinction may be checked or re.
moved altogether.
According to Mr.. Robert A..
Nesbit, aquatic biologist of the

cries, a reasonable time may be
taken, without danger. to carry
out a far-reaching plan to save
salt water fishes as no one spe

Require Early Attention

as shad and striped bass, require
the earliest attention. Seabass

called vulnerable, with weakfish

Home-Goine Ambassadors

simultaneously it is announced, in
Washington and Moscow, that Am
bassador Troyanovsky and Ambassa-
dor Bullitt are leaving their posts, re-
spectively, for visits to the Soviet
Union and to the United States. Mr..
Troyanovsky is going home, it is
stated, for consultation with his gov
ernnent on compromise proposals for
adjustment of the Soviet-American
deadlock over debts and credits. Mr..
Bullitt is coming back to this coun-
try, according to word from his post,
on vacation. incidentally, he is re-
turning by way of China and Japan,
an itinerary which will enable him to
gather impressions and information
that should be of special value to the
State Department at this time.
Doubtless the coincidence that the
two Ambassadors are returning to
their respective countries at the same
moment and in the midst Of a serious
impasse in negotiations between
Washington and Moscow will give rise
to various interpretations. There is
no reason at this time to read into
the migrations of Messrs, Troyanovsky

What-No Rumors?

The Presidents pleasant picture OF
the American people, with both feet
on the ground and their tongues
in their cheeks, doing their own think
ing, while the poll parrots scatter
in dismay, is of course comforting.
But one cannot read without regret
that part Of his last nights address
in which he plainly indicates his op-
position to rumors and gossip.
For it requires little effort to recall
some of the famous rumors that have
served well to tighten the dark days
of the depression, and it is only nat
ural to ask where we should have
been without them. Suppose the
N. R. A, or the A. A. A., or even the
F. E. r. A. had prohibited the Writ
rumor? And there is notable list
of other rumors that sustained the
Nation during a period which tried
mems souls. There was the Moley
rumor-gossip to the effect that the
professor would leave the State De-
partment and return to private life.
There was the Sprague rumor-gossip
to the effect that the professor was
dissatisfied with certain policies and
would quit. There was that Douglas
rumor, which kicked around Washing
ton for several months-gossipy chat
ter to the effect that he could not
remain in the Bureau of the Budget and
also true to his expressed convictions.
There was the Peek rumor-gossip
to the effect that the Department of
Agriculture could not hold a Peek and
Tugwell at the same time. There
was that fine old granddaddy rumor
of them all, the johnson rumor, to the
effect that the general was going to
get out of the N. r. A.-gossipy chat
ter, which was halted a few weeks
ago when the general himself came
out of the White House and said he
was staying with the ship because the
President had begged him to stay.
Such rumors, Of course, may have
had no foundation in fact and NAV
have been purposely started by Wall
Street with some sinister motive in
view. But they were such good fun!
While everybody realizes the calamity
that would follow the resignation of
DR.. Tugwell, and for that reason
should prevent the circulation of
such rumors because of the natural
panic on the part of business inter-
ests, it is to be hoped that the Presi-
dent will not set his foot down abso-
lutely on the relatively harmless
recreation of passing rumors along.
United we stand,
Divided we fall,
With our feet on the ground
And our tongues in our cheeks.
But, all the same, the American
people should be allowed to keep their
rumors.

Meteors and Planes.

If any one wants to engage in a bit
of highly complex mathematics, an
opportunity is afforded by the report
that an airplane flying on a trans
continental service has just escaped
by narrow margin collision with a
falling meteor. What is the percent
age of chance of such a happening?
That it is infinitesimal is proved by
the fact that thus far in the course
Of aviation, which covers only about
a third of a century, no plane has
been hit by celestial missile. But
and the ratio of possibility of such
a contact is therefore rising. Nobody
really knows how many meteors strike
the earth's atmosphere, though Prof.
Newton once estimated that no less
than fifteen million entered the
earth'S envelop every twenty-four
hours. The frequency and the volume

that they vary with the seasons, being

Showers" great groups that are be-
lieved to follow fixed courses, with
regular recurrence, such as the Per-
seids, which are in evidence in August
and continue for five weeks, while the
Orionids come in October and the
Leonids in November. These frag-
ments vary greatly in size, but it is
believed that the vast majority do not
exceed a few grains in weight. Sci
ence distinguishes between meteorites
and shooting stars the former being
larger and of different composition.
These currents Of material bodies,
large and small, are constant in
space. They are, of course, invisible

possible toward an accord. 1t lies In
the interest of both countries to effect
such an agreement with all feasible

Poland's action in repudiating the
mlnoritieS treaty aroused apprehen-
sion among newspaper observers, not
because any concern is felt for Polish
minorities, but because it is regarded
as another blow at the League of Ma
tions and the Versailles treaty. The
possibility is also considered that Po-
lands action indicates that she is
shifting her allegiance from France to
Germany and that a new political
combination Is in the making.
Its significance transcendS the i'm
mediate issue Of minoritieS," asserts
the Providence Evening Bulletin. "Po-
land, the nation created by the Yer
sailles Treaty and benefited by the
League of Nations, has boldly chal-
lenged the entire Versailles system,
the first nation openly to rip up the
historic agreement, and that is why
the member nations are so disturbed,
If not downright frightened. For they
are not thinking of Polish minorities.
They are thinking that if Poland gets
away with this bold act, Germany will
take advantage of the precedent, un-
the whole instrument open for revi-
sion and invite chaos in which the
League of Nations will be destroyed"
mo one expects Poland to inaugu-
rate a campaign of persecution of its
minorities," agrees the New Haven
Journal-Courier. Internal affairs
will probably continue as usual. But
external developments seem signifi-
cant. And realignment of European
politics seems shadowed, possibly a
new rapprochement between Poland
and Germany. though the problem of
the Corridor has been postponed, not
solved"
The st. Paul Pioneer Press likewise
is convinced that Geneva is appar-
emily disturbed more by fact of re-
pudiation than by the subject of it."
and adds: In the background is the
concern of the larger powers that Po-
lands action may indicate swing to-
ward Germany. The promptness and
Vlgor OF their protests indicate that
the Importance of keeping the League
intact Is appreciated by nations which
have recovered sufficiently from the
last war to wish to avert it now" It
is the opinion of the Rochester Times
Union that Poland has seen fit to
deal body blow at one of the most
useful of the League activities" and
that, If the same step is taken by
the other nations of Eastern Europe,
we may expect revival of racial diff
f1culties, and consequent embitter-
ing OF international relations"
"Poland's motive is obvious enough"
thinks the Newark Evening News,
taking the position that, "it wants
equality and resents discrimination
that makes 1t appear a second-class
power" The San Antonio Express
declares that the Polish government
evidently desires a permanent seat
in the League Council, but hardly
can obtain it by antagonizing two
great powers"
1T might be well to assume Poland's
way Of forcing the League to re-
consider the minorities problem, and
not a fiat attempt to escape its OBJ
legations or a mere preliminary move
to an intended withdrawal" contends

Advantage of The Bus
Over the Street Car

To the Editor OF The star:
After reading the letters some of
your readers have written against
the buses, I have decided to air my
own opinion relative to the matter.
A great many readers use the smaller
capacity of the buses as base for
criticism. Perhaps they have never
seen the large bus. built by the White
Co., which Capital Transit operates
on its Rhode Island avenue line. It
will seat so passengers, which is 2
more than our large street cars will
seat. I have heard that several more
of these buses have been ordered.
Another factor to be considered is
that the rush hour in Washington
lasts for only comparatively short
time, while the rest of the day the
traffic is lighter and can be handled
very effectively by the 3l-passenger
busses.
AS for comparative cost of opera
ton, perhaps the street cars can han
die the dense rush-hour traffic
cheaper, but what about the rest OF
the day, when the cars are running
half empty? If street cars cost less
to operate, why are busses run in
steady of streets cars in the small
hours of the morning? Why was the
West End bus line substituted for
the street cars running in that sec
ton?
AS for safety. I consider the new
all-steel busses just as safe as a street
car, and their ability to make quick
stops renders them that much safer.
If bus breaks down. it does not tie
up the entire line, as is the case with
the street cars. 1t is being demon
Strated every day, on the lines Of the
Capital Transit Co., that the busses
are much faster than the street cars.
The advocates of express street car
service fail to explain how an ex-
press can pass local. AS for the
proposed subway service, believe the
first cost would be too high, and it is
not really needed, anyway, since the
congestion of traffic does not exceed
four hours per day.
In conclusion, I would suggest that
the number of street car tracks be
decreased so as to afford a concen-
tration of street cars on a few streets
to take care of the denser traffic and
Let the buses handle the rest quickly
and efficiently.
