EC A Aids Iceland
Fisheries
PARIS, (.-P) — Marshall Plan
funds are saving Iceland’s “lifter
line”—the fishing industry.
R. H. Fiedler, European cooper
ation administration fisheries spe
cialist, said after a survey trip to
Iceland that ECA funds are being
used to modernize their fish pro
cessing plant and to outfit the her
ring industry.
The significant thing about the
expansion of Iceland’s fishing in
dustry isn't only in saving it for
Iceland. Fiedler said, “but it is
providing animal protein food for
Europe at a time when meat is in^
short supply.”
