MR. PARKER: Mr. Westley points out, 

 among other things, that one of the basic conditions 

 to the realization of this gigantic food-producing 

 potential is that "the waters v;ill have to be pro- 

 tected from pollution" , to which we can only add 

 amen . 



Pollution of the Puget Sound as seen from 

 this new and lofty vantage point takes on an equally new 

 and challenging significance. No longer can degradation 

 of these waters be viewed as only a "minor and vexing 

 necessity of our industrial establishment." No longer 

 can it be seen in terms of the primacy of one big industry
