...these indicators proved wrong in 1962, leading economists into a false recession scare. Often, such warning signals also come too late for the Government and businessmen to have a chance to cushion the fall, or perhaps avert it entirely.

Future kills may yet be traced to insecticides, some of which are toxic to fish in amounts that are harmless to humans. If so, Government authorities...
