CONSERVATION
LAWS ARE TO
BE OBSERVED
TWO AGENTS BEGAN ACTIVE
TIES THIS MORNING; oPER-
AToE OF FISHING BOAT AR
RESTED

Here to enforce the conserva-
ton laws of the State of Florida,
Agents w. Lamar Rose and F. NJ.
Daniels, began their activities
this morning and took into Gus
tody one operator of a fishing
boat who refused to pay the re-
quired license.
However, that was not all. They
went to the municipal sponge docb
and advised that the law demands
that no sponges less than five
inches in diameter are to be TAX
en-, and sponge fishermen found
guilty OF violation of this law are
to be prosecuted.
Mr.. Rose said that he saw evil
dences of this law being violated
but believed in giving due warn
ing before making any arrests, but
said that sin the future any per-
son caught violating the law per-
tive to the sponges will be arrest
ed and prosecuted"
Does this apply solely to the
man who takes the sponge from
the water? he was asked and he
replied that both the imam who
takes the sponge and the buyer
are held guilty and can and will
be prosecuted.
"Wa recently arrested several
people for these violations, and
one of the arrests were made be-
cause an individual had been
caught with underweight craw-
fish," said Mr.. Rose. ''The con-
servation law provides that no
crawfish which weighs less than
one pound shall be taken from the
water"
This law violator acknowledged
that he was guilty and paid the
necessary fine and costs Of the
court.
Both Agents Rose and Daniels
were frank in their statements
that the law was going to be en-
forced to the letter. They had no
intention of working any hard
ships on violators. They were
going to be given fair warning
and then If they persisted in
continuing their disobedience of
the conservation laws, they were
to be arrested and punished.
Boats which are operated in
either sponge fishing or taking
fish or crawfish, all must pay the
required license, said Mr.. Rose.
Crawfish must not weigh less than
one pound, sponge must not be
less than five inches in diameter,
and those who either catch them
or buy them, are TO be prosecuted.
eve are only agents." said Mr..
Rose and Mr.. Daniels, ''and repre-
sentatives of the lawmaking bod
res which made the conservation
laws, and while we do not intend
to be harsh, and have taken pains
to make our position understood.
we intend to enforce the law to
the letter. 1t is much better TO
be warned by us and take steps 20
heed the mandate of the law, than
to be caught by one Of the depart
ment's patrol vessels and found to
be acting in defiance Of the law. .

Banks with unsound practices
Of maintaining improper financial
structures will be weeded out by
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation which is virtually
placing the insured banks of the
nation under the microscope. In
cooperation with state banking
authorities, it is making a COM
plete survey of the banks under
their supervision with a view to
determining what corrective steps
can be taken with regard to weak
and unsound banks" Leo T.
Crowley, chairman, thinks that
800 to 400 weak banks should be
weeded out of the system each
year for several years. He in
sists that if banks are unsound
or insolvent after a period of sew
.eral years of increasing prosperity,
tire is little hope for their sur
vival in any subsequent period of
decreasing prosperity.

Concluding that Michael ].
Meehan, colorful Wall Street fig
ure, had been guilty of manipula-
tive activities in stocks prohibited
by the Securities Exchange Act
of 1884, the Securities and Elk
change Commission recently or
dared his expulsion from the New
York Curb Exchange and the
Board of Trade in Chicago. Mr..
Meehan was at one time a sales
man of thaater tickets but in the
boom days before 1929 built up a
big commission business. His
brokerage firm at one time had
50, 100000 invested in eight stock
exchange seats. His friends say
that his downfall was due to an
honest failure to realize that the
New Deal had made fundamental
changes in the modes of business
for Wall Street and that his abiI-
ity to push a stock of nominal
value up to all kinds of heights,
was no asset under the new regu-
lations. The action against Mr..
Meehan was the first taken by the
Commission under the anti-stock
manipulating section of the new
act

Government navy yards have a
fair sized navy on the ways. With
the new oattleships recently au-
thorized and including the cruis-
ers, destroyers, submarines and
cutters, the yards at New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Portsmouth.
Charleston, Mare Island and Puget
Sound are constructing 80 ships.
Apparently, the Government will
have to plan for the bulk of its
own construction in the future and
this means that the yards will
have to ae equipped for construc-
ton on q larger scale than is now
possible. As the declared naval
policy of the United States calls
for a fleet second to none, it app
pears certain that additional bat
tleships win be required to equal
the program of Great Britain. At
least two more 35, 000-ton battle.
ships are expected to be authoriz-
ed in the fiscal year beginning
next July and one will probably
be constructed on the Pacific
Coast.

that there are mo men in the Demo-

reach knee-high in stature mentally
or morally to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Between the third term prece-

Throws
Off Blame of War
Hitler Declares That Treaty of
Versailles Is No Longer
Cause for Disgrace

Germans this week regarded the
approach of June %, birthday of the
Treaty of Versailles, with less sense
of national humiliation than at any
time since the World war.
For the German press, which in
other years made June % the occa-
sion for dolefully recounting the
Reich's war losses, it became instead
an excuse for surveying the extent
to which Germany's steady attrition
has destroyed the treaty.
Formerly the admission of Ger
many's war guilt incorporated in the
treaty was favorite editorial topic.
Now Germans consider that stain on
their honor was wiped out by
Reichsfuehrer Hitler's declaration of
last January 30:
War Guilt Denied
Il hereby most solemnly with
draw the Germany signature from
that declaration forced on a weak
government against it's better knowl-
edge, to the effect that Germany was
guilty of starting the war;"
During its Is years the Versailles
treaty has been steadily nullified
until little remains but its territorial
and colonial clauses. Whether Hit
Ter dreams of regaining all the lost
territory no one but himself knows,
but certainly he is working for the
return of overseas colonies and of
Danzig to the Reich.

Great Advance Seen
in Fight ON Cancer
Research Specialist Of England
Points Out Progress Made.
i'm His Country

NEW YORK, June ga "great.
advance in the struggle against can
Ger" was reported by DR.. w. Cram,
or, Of the Imperial Cancer Research
Fund, q. London, to the American
Journal of Cancer here.
This is the fact that the increase
in cancer during the last 20 years,
in England at least, is almost all in
the age groups over IS years. This
is true for cancer of the organs most
frequently attacked by cancer, such
as the tongue, esophagus, stomach,
intestines, liver and pancreas in
men, and the uterus in women. The
only exception is in the case of
breast cancer in women. Here is a
significant increase even in the earl
Ter age groups.
ITO the average person and his
relatives" DR.. Cramer points out in
reporting this encouraging advance
in the fight against cancer, ''the
question of Importance is not wheth-
er he dies from cancer or some other
disease, but at what age he dies
from any disease whatever"
The increase in cancer mortality is
not so frightening when it is realiz-
ed that cancer is not killing any
more people before they have ap-
preached the Biblical span of life
than it did 20 years or more ago.
