Fisheries Society has before it a future, which if properly 
developed, will make it a power in fishery matters even 
greater than it has been in the past. 
The Society is National in its membership and in its 
work, and fishery issues that are National should not 
be foreign to it. Its vigilance should extend not only 
over our inland lakes, our interior streams and rivers, 
but also to the broad Pacific and the nearer Atlantic, 
to correct abuses that clearly come within its province 
for vigorous condemnation. 
BENNY €) PORD; President, 
AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY.
