...very Welsh rebuttal, up popped David Lloyd George. "Any fish can keep a cool head!" sneered the Wartime Prime Minister at Neville Chamberlain. "The Prime Minister says we must have cool heads. Yes, but I say we must also have stout hearts! Our great failure in the last four or five years has been that our hearts have failed us.

In the Texas Legislature sportsmen and conservationists joined with fishing interests to fight for State action against the drilling, pass laws to keep Texas oil fields out of the water.
