HOOVER SAYS SALMON INDUS
TRY CAN BE BUILT UP IF
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED
ON BOARD HENDERSON—July 24
—Strong and immediate restrictions
upon salmon fishing in Alaska must be
imposed if the industry is to be pre
served from the same destruction that
has ruined the fisheries in other sec
tions of the United States, declared
Secretary Hoover in a statement is
sued today reviewing the results of
the conferences held on his Alaskan
trip with fihsermen, consumers, prom
inent officials, businessmen and ex
perts. Our primary purpose is to re
store this industry, Hoover added, the
responsibility rests on the officials
having the authority to translate it in
to action.
I _
Recognize Need of Conservation
ON BOARD HENDERSON—Hoover
| further said scientific discussion and
political oratory will not spawn sal
mon, and the question cannot be car
ried on without a temporary reduction
in the amount of salmon taken on one
hand, and without executive measures
for enlarged production on the other.
The need for conservation in Alaska
has been recognized for ten years, Mr.
Hoover said, adding: “This is the larg
est of Alas’fa’s industries; more than
half of the population and more than
half of the territorial revenues are de
pendent upon it. It can in time be
built up to much larger dimensions
than at present, and if nothing is done
it will be lost in a few years. It is of
vital importance to the whole Ameri
can people as a source of national food
supply.
