ate necessity. The arguments may diverge
again after the present crisis is past but
they must all 60 together through the same
painful present defile. There is no room
for dispute about the immediate necessity
for a reduction in the costs of the British
economy-that is, for an alteration in the
present ratio between efforts and rewards.
The root of the matter is that the world
puts lower value on the services of the
British people than they do themselves.
There is no point in denouncing the ver-
dict, or ignoring it, or attempting to evade
it. 1t will have to be accepted. The British
people individually as well as collectively,
will either have to increase the services
they render for their present real remuner-
alton, or else accept lower real reward.
The crisis will go on until the British
people-all of them, including the railway
men and the dockers-individually recog-
nize this necessity and agree upon the
methods of meeting it. And that Is to say
it will get great deal worse before it has
any chance of getting better
This is not pleasing outlook-for the
British or any of us. But the chances are
that there is much truth in what the
Economist says.
Evening star., 1949-07-24
A British Diagnosis

The London Economist, highly respected
British journal, has come forward with
an admirable diagnosis of Britains eco
nomic troubles. No doubt there are those
in Britain who do not concur in the Econo-
mist's findings. But the analysis by the
British publication seems clear-headed,
realistic and very much to the point.
The basic British trouble is that produc-
ton costs are too high Britain must main
tain a high volume of trade but because
of the cost factor, and other reasons, she
cannot compete successfully in the open
market. The Economist says that there
are at least three schools of thought as
to the best way of getting around this
hard economic fact. There is the socialist
school, which looks to more controls and
manipulations. The conservatives hope to
find economic salvation in sterling area
Finally, there is what the Economist calls
the dash for freedom" school-apparently
the advocates of free international trade.
But for the short rum at least, the London
publication takes dim view of all these.
Here is its prescription:
"Thus, from whatever theological stand
point-socialist, imperialist or liberal-the
argument starts and by whatever system
et proceeds 1t arrives at the sar immedi-

The Fish Are Getting Scorcer

With the commercial fishermen them
selves becoming aroused over the scarcity
of fish in Chesapeake Bay and its tribu-
taries, there is hope for effective conserva-
tion measures. All too often in the past
the men who make their living by seining
rockfish, shad, croakers and perch have
evidenced little interest in conservation.
The best proof of this apathy was to be
seen in the photographs of tons of fish
piled on shore after record catches-many
of them doomed to spoil for lack of SELL
ers' market. The Star last year published
picture of more than 100 tons of rockfish
(striped bass) netted on the lower Potomac
during the spawning season. One con-
servationist estimated that the fish in this
one haul would have produced some nine
million rockfish in single season.
The warnings of the fishery experts are
coming true with distressing accuracy this
year, according to reports from the Chesa-
peake area So scarce have the fish been
30 far this summer that the Virginia Fish
efies Association, representing commercial
fishermen, has arranged for conference
here with officials of the Fish and Wildlife
Service at the Interior Department. v. L.
Hodges, secretary of the association,
describes the fish scarcity as alarming"
and as threatening ruin for fishermen and
dealers in the State. Senator NcCarran,
Evening star., 1949-07-24
Proper Cooperation

President Truman's willingness to permit
his military aide, Maj ior General Harry H.
Vaughan, to testify at the senatorial In
curry into five percenter" activities is
manifestation of the spirit of cooperation
that should exist between branches OF the
Government in such matters. And in view
of published statements linking him
to an alleged Influence racket" General
Vaughan should welcome an opportunity
to answer the innuendoes.
BY his readiness to allow General
Vaughan to testify, if he so desires, the
President has put quick end to specula-
ton as to the rights of President to
prevent members of his official staff from
giving information to congressional COM
n1ittees. The question nearly came to a
showdown in 1914, when President Roose-
velt at first refused to let his assistant
Jonathan Daniels, testify in a Rural
Identification hearing. But, on second
thought, Mr.. Roosevelt agreed to Mr..
Daniels appearance-although still hold
ing that he had the right to prohibit
testimony by any of his administrative
assistants Whether a military aide may
be included in or added to this category
Is a question that remains to be settled.
BY his attitude toward the five-percenter
case, Mr. Truman has made it plain that
he wants no whitewashing of any one in
the executive branch of the Government
That other officials of this branch may
be presented in an unfavorable light before
the hearings are over is indicated by the
disclosure that James v. Hunt, central
figure in the inquiry, kept detailed diary
of his dealings with various important
personages in Washington. If names of
these contacts" are revealed, however,
they should be given full opportunity to
be heard, for it is just as important to
avoid smearing innocent persons as it is
to avoid whitewashing those who may
have done wrong.

who is seeking to save rockfish from ex-
tinction, blames greed of commercial
fishermen for the decline of the striped
bass, once so plentiful in the Potomac HIS
bill to outlaw sale in the District of rock
fish weighing more than fifteen pounds
is on the Senate calendar, having been re-
ported by the District Committee on July 8.
Such weight limitation would be helpful
in discouraging the catching of the larger
fish.
But the real solution lies with the fisher
men themselves. Once they can be made
to see the folly of wasteful hauls of spawn
ing fish, they may be expected to show more
