Many of these young people are now getting a chance, heretofore beyond their reach, to seek higher learning. What will they make of that chance? Will they recognize the opportunity that is peculiar- ly theirs? And will they assume’ the re- sponsibility it imposes? , - Some extremely pertinent thoughts on that very subject were expressed recent- ly by General Motors’ Vice President Paul Garrett, in a talk before a student group at his alma mater, Whitman Collége, Wal- la Walla, Washington. Said Mr. Garrett: “When [ had my chance I did not real- ize that there was even then evolving a profession upon which would fall great re- sponsibility for leadership in dealing with problems of all kinds in this area. I refer to management which is the way you run a farm, a shop or an industry. To me at that time business was something you just drifted. into if you were not competent to take up one of the recognized profes- sions or if all you wanted in life was mon- ey. It would not have occurred to me that au ambitious young man of ideals and vision might turn to industry for an ideal life profession. I did not understand what industry was. And to the widespread per- sistence of such lack in understanding can be attributed a great share of our present world troubles. “It is a sad commentary on the state of civilization that a leader can rise to a political power on the promise of economic security that is only a blueprint sketch. Usually he lacks knowledge or experience in transforming a blueprint into something real. It is one thing to bluenrint economy. It is something else to make it work. “Basically the problem of manage- ment is to produce more goods and serv- ices for satisfying people’s wants at prices more peopie can afford to pay. This is not a job for a few men in a_ few big com- panies. It is the job of the thousands upon thousands of individuals who have the re- sponsibility of operating the Nation’s busi- ness, large and small, of all kinds. For businesses in this country are independent. So are workers. They pay each other’s wages. They consume each _ other’s products. aa “At this state of world development your generation has the responsibility for advancing new concepts of management. Government cannot do it. If I had had your chance I. would become a disciple of good management for what it can do in Amer- ica quite apart from any plan I might have for my own life work. if I had your chance to assess again what I might do with my life, I would view management very dif- ferently than I did in your place, as an en- deavor very worthy of my best fibre.” During World War Il, Italy’s excuse for taking over Ethiopia was _ that.she needed “lebensraum,” but when she con- quered the country only a handful of Ita]- ians left tneir native land, That Italy’s quest for wider space was justified when taking into account her population of 45 millions jammed into a space only about as big as Arizona. FALLACY REVEALED Mr. Herbert Hoover, former President of the United States, is qupted in a maga- zine article as saying that the Japanese would never have attacked the United States “if we had not given them provoca- tion.” ~ This is an interesting statement coming from a man of the prominence of the 73- year-old ex-President. It fits in with the theory of a good many isolationist Amer- icans. Mr. Hoover furthermore declares that he never believed Britain was in danger of defeat and that when Germany attack- ed Russia, a British victory was possible. He thinks the United States should have kept out of the immediate conflict and put its “sword down” on the. conference table, with our economic resources intact. This, he thinks, would have enabled us | to make a decent peace. The fallacy of Mr. Hoover’s conclusion is somewhat revealed by his present atti- tude toward Russia. Expressing the opinion that no agreement with Generalissimo Stalin “is worth a damn,” the ex-President is quoted as banging his fist, in a confer- ence with President Truman, and suggest- ing that the United States treat the Rus- sians tough. Maybe he is willing to give provocation to the Russians, 2A£44444444444444442 T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY By RUSSELL KAY VwvvTvvvvivvrvvrve Being an ardent sports fisher- man, I suppose I should laugh with glee over the plight of the poor commercial fishermen, but knowing some of them personal- ly and realizing some of their problems I can't help but sym- pathize with them. They have certainly been tak- ing it on the chin lately with the “red tide’ messing them up on the Gulf Coast and the State Fish and Game Department rid- ing herd on ‘em from Tallahas- see. Publicity given the “red tide” just naturally knocked the bot- tom out of the fish business as far as the Gulf Coast is \concern- ed. Despite the fact that health authorities point out that fish from uncontaminated waters are good to eat, a lot of floks still refuse to eat any kind of sea- food. Then along came the Game. and Fresh Water Fish Department with an order closing Lake Okee- chobee, the St. Johns River and Lake George to commercial fish- ing and as a result commercial fishing in Florida has been dealt a staggering blow and many fishermen and their families are on the verge of starvation. The fight between sports and commercial fishermen is an, old one and both have a place in the Florida picture and much hooey and misinformation has been dished out on both sides. Personally, I don’t agree with some of’ the rabid sport fisher- men who blame the commercial not catch and insist that if all commercial fishing were elimin- ated our lakes a&d streams woul be so ful of fish they would over- flow their banks. I don’t think that commercial fishing in the waters of the St. Johns or Lake Okeechobee are hurting sports fishing to any ex- tent; in fact, in removing des- troyers of fish such as turtles, gars and the like, they are help- ful. As far as protecting the black bass in these waters, they are already protected-and cannot~be sold so I don’t see what all the ruckus is about. The “red tide” has destroyed more fish'than commercial and sports fishermen would catch in five years, but I don’t. think it will ruin fishing and I believe when the tide has disappeared we'll still catch about as many fish as we ever did. It has been my experience that fishing today is a darn sight bet- ter in Lake Okeechobee and the St. Johns than in a whole hell- uva lot of the so-called protected and stocked lakes that commer- cial fishermen never go near. Why, I don’t know, but I'll trade you a hundred protected fresh water lakes I've fished in for a couple of acres of Lake Okeecho- bee any time. Commercial fishing is an im- portant Florida industry and it should be given encouragement. It provides an income to thous- ands who have no other: means of livelihood and brings millions of dollars into the state. Today, commercial fishing is at just about a standstill, fishing boats are tide up and fishermen are idle. Catfish fishermen along the St. Johns’ River from Jack- sonville to Lake George will tell you that the closing of those waters to commercial fishing has their business on the verge of disaster. As evidence of the situation they point to rows of fishing boats tied at the docks, dozens of nets on row after row and idle employees hanging around. In the Lelaka-Georgetown area, what commercial fishing is going on is confined to the operation of a few traps and some trot-lines. The big 1,100 foot nets have been brought in and racked. Here a $2,000,000 industry is at a standstill. The annual sale of the blue-skinned “eats” princi- pally to western markets, 7 be- yond the two million dollar fig- ure in 1945. The State Board of of 3,326,112 pounds were taken from these waters. At an average of 34c per pound which the fishermen say they re- ceive, that amounts to $1,130,878 which you will have to admit is not hay. Take that kind of money out of circulation and samebody is bound to go hungry and I’m not talking about the folks who have been eating the fish either. No one, aparently, has any ac- curate figures on the amount of money invested in commercial fishing equipment, including all boats, nets, tackle, etc, but it fishermen for all the fish they do; Conservation reports that a total | ) capital a gift of alligators.
