ELECTION PROMISES

Before the election the aid TO
Britain discussed was limited.
The lend and lease bill permits
unlimited aid. This is a distinct
departure from the promises of
the campaign.
Therefore. the national policy
decided in the last campaign was
limited aid TO England. There
was fundamental agreement on
that policy.
The national policy on UNI
limited aid was not decided be-
cause 1t was not an issue. But
this permits unlimited aid. That

Heretofore June Is has marked
the opening of the bass season only
In Virginia east of the Blue Ridge.
This year it also marks the open
ing of the season in Maryland in
streams above tideWater.
The tidewater season in Mary
land continues as before, from
August l.
Every one remembers the contro-
versy last fall as to whether the
Game and Inland Fisheries Com
mission or the Fisheries Commission
would have control over the creeks
and coyes tributary to the Potomac.
It engendered considerable heat
among the anglers of the Old
Dominion but it let the commits
sioners know what they wanted
There is considerable for which to
thank Judge William S. Snow, men,
Der of the commission from Alex
andria. and chairman Of the COM
mission. Carl H. Noting. for with
the expressed desires of the anglers
they went ahead to see that the
three areas, Dogue Greek, Gunston
Greek and Belmont Bay were set
aside solely for sportfishing.
Just last week the agreement was
reached between the two State
bodies to prohibit commercial fish
ing in these areas. Because licenses
have been issued to some netters for
1941 the new arrangement will not
60 into effect until next year.
He's Right and Wrong.
A Washington angler, B. Dep
writes: Il want to call your atten-
ton to the Wanton slaughter of
rockfish in bay waters. While fish
ing Saturday at Brooms Island we
heard a boat had hauled seine at
Cedar Point for a catch of 1000
pounds. Going to the ice plant we
saw these fish, averaging bettering
than pounds, packed in boxes for
shipment.
What chance have we sportsmen,
who do so much for the welfare Of
shore people, if this practice is to
continue on our game fish? I hope

plish what We voteless Washing

ing the catch-a very reasonable
one-and had been able to ice and
box their catch for market. There
certainly was no waste. even though
the fish had to be held for better
market.
What this angler should have seen
were the large catches of past years,
totaling often 10 times this one,
with no means at hand for icing
and carried to market in open
trucks and spoiled before they
reached Baltimore
That we would call Wanton slaugh-
ter and a total disregard of our
natural resources. But not waste
of game fish, for the striped bass

striped bass is made a game fish in
Maryland and Virginia. There is a
real movement right now to do this.
in line with several Northern States.
One fish out of many species is
not too much for the anglers to ask
but it Is not going to be achieved
without a lot of effort and organ
ization. There should be more ade-
quate protection of the striped bass
in Chesapeake Bay. Whether it will
come through making it a game fish
is something We can't foretell.
Some Bets Overlooked.
If hunters want to be good con-
servationists and insure more game
in the bag for themselves they
should pay more attention to how
they hunt. That is true equally of
fishing, although the angler has
distinct advantage over the hunter
in being able to have his sport with
out killing his quarry.
According to the Pennsylvania
Fish and Game Commission, with
records of the kill of each licensed
individual, the average person who
goes afield overlooks most of the
game he hunts in many cases be-
cause he does not know where or
will not take time to look for it. 1t
is not always the amount of ground
covered but how intelligently it is
covered
That, too, is true in angling. Often
we overlook smaller species right
under our nose that with light tackle
would supply the finest kind of
sport
We have in mind particularly the
Potomac. one of the finest bass
streams in the East. It can be most
productive if a little thought is
given to the place and time to fish.
Failing in this it can become Just
so much water.
