EXPEDITION TO STUDY FUR
SEAL HERD AT SEA
Exploring the foundations of a
fur business that nets the United
States Government more than
$200,000 a year, naturalists of the
Fish and Wildlife Service are or
ganizing an expedition to study
the migration routes and food
habits of the Alaska fur seal
herd that has its breeding
grounds on the Pribilof Islands
in Bering Sea.
Information received in Fair
banks by Wildlife Agent Clar
ence J. Rhode states that special
studies have recently been made
of conditions on the Islands. Ac
cording to a Service report to
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes, a vessel iis now being
equipped for use of scientists in
following the herd to sea on its
fall migration.
Protection Data
Recommended by the Depart
ment of States and authorized by
a special Congressional appro
priation, the investigations have
been planned to obtain addition
al data needed in negotiations
for international protection of
the fur seals while they are at
eea.
Under the fur seal convention
of 1911, it was pointed out, the
killing, capturing, or pursuit of
the animals at sea has been pro
hibited by the United States,
Canada, Japan, and the Soviet
Uniion. In October 1940 Japan
in accordance with a provision
of the convention, gave notice of
its abrogation but stated that it
was prepared to conclude a new
agreement.
Herd Increased
With the protection afforded
by the 1911 convention, the herd
has increased from about 132,000
in 1910 to more than 2,000,000
and Canada & Japan have shared
in profits from pelts taken under
Government management on the
pribilof Islands. More than 65,000
pelts were taken in 1940.

Spitzbergen
Welcomes Allies
With Gifts
LONDON. Sept. — Additional
details of the activities in the
■ landing of British, Canadian and
: Norwegian troops in the Spitz
bergen archipelago in the Arctic
were revealed by the British
War Ministry.
The entire population of the
several islands claimed by Nor
way, now dominated by Ger
many, was evacuated to the Brit
ish Isles, according to latest dis
; closures, and the resources of
! the island were left so as to be
: of no use to the Axis powers as
a source of war materials.
The joint landing party des
troyed the coal mine workings
and set fire to one dump of coal
containing some 150,000 tons.
Wireless stations were also
j wrecked.
Has Returned to Britain
The Allied expedition which
j landed at the Spitzbergen islands
J has returned to Britain.
I Canadian officers who return
j ed to Britain after taking part in
the expedition to the Spitzbergen
! islands reported that their men
were disappointed that the Ger
! mans had not given them a fight
j for the islands. The expedition
I reported the capture of the is
j land was a pleasant job for every
body.
“As it was, instead of a hostile
| reception, we were met by a sort
i of reception committee,” said one
Canadian soldier.
Showered With Gifts
‘'After I landed with one pla
toon of my company, I could not
see my men for half an hour be
cause they were surrounded by
men, women and children who
showered them with gifts of cig
arettes and sweets.
We could not understand much
of their language until an inter
preter was found. All of our of
ficers and men came away with
gifts from the inhabitants. I was
given a barometer. lVlost of the
time we could not smoke our
own cigarettes because the in
habitants insisted on giving us
theirs, which were mostly of an
American make.
Staff Sergeant Garbutt of Cal
gary, Canada, said:
“We lived like kings. I wish
we could have stayed there a
couple of months. The hunting
and fishing were fine and for
breakfast we had pork chops and
steak.”
Britain Will
Prevent Sale of
Lease-Lend Goods
..........
LONDON, Sept, 12 — Great
Brit-:n is gravely concerned ov
er charge- that materia s obtain
ed from the United States under
the lcEse-lond act are being us
ed in direct competition with Am
erican industry’s export markets.
The British government prom
ises to prevent such misuse of
lease-lend goods and also to re
strict British exports.
The British government is con
cerned among other things over
what its leaders called the “pro*
paganda value to Germany’’ of
the charges that American in
dustry, after making sacrifices to
send raw materials to Britain un
der the lease-lend act. are being
hit in foreign markets by the
competition of goods made from
these materials.
A White Paper issued recently
is said by reliable sources to be
one of a series of steps planned
“to prevent Germany from using
lease-lend grumbling as the thin
edge of a wedge to pry Britain
and the United States apart or to
hamper the Allied war effort.”
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden has sent a memorandum to
United States Ambassador James
Winant in which the British gov
ernment pledged that goods ob
tained under the lend-lease act
•»
will not be used in British ex
port trade in competition with
United States exporters.
The note delivered to the Unit
ed States embassy by the British
foreign office declared that all
materials which Britain obtains
under lend-lease act are required
for the prosecution of the war.
Continuing, the British note said:
“The British government has
taken and will continue to take
action to insure that these goods
are not in any case diverted to
the furtherance of private inter
ests.
“Lend-lease materials sent to
Britain have not been used for
export and every effort will be
made to insure that they are not
uesd for export.”
