In a statement forecasts his inten-

presidential primary law but recog-
nized opposition to be met.
"Progress iv ism has not passed: cer-

limelight progrei es who were
more interested in offices than in

past forgotten and hae endeavored
to atone by out-regularmg regularity.
But progressiviin is yet enshrined in

"Reaction is on until we witness

If this succeeds there's little that ex-

"To prevent the direct primarys

DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF
FISHERY PRODUCTS CREATES
ACUTE SITUATION IN INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON. D. 0 Jan. 10. Pro-
duction and consumption of fish-
ery products stimulated and en-
couraged by governmental and other
agencies aa a war measure have
shown a decided slump according to
the bureau of fisheries.
A large under consumption of fish
advancing prices of materials and a
curtailment in the export trade the
report says have placed many fisher-
men in a serious situation.
As the majority of fishermen are
small individual producers who have
devoted their lives to their calling
exposed to unusual hardships and
dangers with little or no training for
a change of livelihood the bureau of
fisheries says it is important that
some measure of relief be afforded
them. It is endeavoring to render the
industry such aid as it can with the
exceedingly limited funds as its dis-
posal. Production of fish in the first ten
months of 1920 showed a falling off of
more than 16000.000 pounds valued at
1600000 as compared mlth the same
period of 1919 according to the bu-
reau. Many of the large New England

a single head the three government
agencies engaged in that work.
This charge and the remedial sug-
gestion will be presented by the legion
tomorrow to president Wilson presi
dent-elect Harding and to every mem
ber of congress In a memorial direct
ing attention to the "snflering. shame
fnl neglect and injustice' which the
legion asserts marks administration
of the affairs of war veterans.
Col. F. W. Galbraith Jr. national
i commander will personally deliver
copy to senator Harding at Marlon.
The legion asserts that the function
of the three ajrencies which deal with
soldiers the bureau of war risk ia-
surance. the federal board for voca-
tional education and the united States
public health service "must be co-
ordinated. their machinery decentral
ized and all three placed under com-
mon control."
To do this" the memorial says
"there must be a new law which shall
place the unified organizations under
a single administrative bead."
For this new organization the le-
gion asks an appropriation sufficient
tn buy. build equip and enlarge hos-
pitals. Bills providing for this have
been introduced in congress.
