TREATY WILL PROTECT PRIBILOF SEALS
(Daily Alaska Empire)
The governments of the United States, Canada,
Japan and Russia will meet in Washington late this
year to negotiate a treaty for the conservation of the
fur seals of the North Pacific Ocean if the invitations
delivered by the American embassies at Ottawa, Tokyo
and Moscow April 22 are accepted. The Fish and Wild
life Service last week received notice of the invitations
to the treaty from the State Department.
The new fur seal treaty would be aimed at pro
tecting the North Pacific herds by again outlawing
pelagic sealing—the killing of seals in open water.
A new treaty would be basically the same as the
1911 Pelagic Sealing Treaty which covered the same
four governments with whatever changes would be
necessary due to scientific findings on the habits of fur
seals, according to the#FWS.
Canada and Japan participated with the United
States in a joint fur seal biological study which was
completed recently and which will supply information
for treaty negotiations.
The report estimates the fur seal population of
the Pribilof Islands, controlled by the United States,
at 1,250,000 seals, exclusive of pups. Each year an esti
mated 500,000 pups are born and half of them die their
first year. The Russian Commander Islands herd is
estimated to be between 73,000 and 123,000 (with a
notation in the report that only the Russians know the
true count.) The Japanese Robben Island herd is esti
mated at between 40,000 and 50,000 seals.
According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, the
importance of a treaty to restore the ban on pelagic
sealing is demonstrated by a notation in the report j
that the Pribilof and Asian seals do intermingle in the
waters off Japan, with an estimated 30 percent of the
3-, 4- and 5-year-old seals being of Pribilof origin.
Under the 1911 treaty, the United States catch of
Pribilof seals as divided each year with 70 percent
going to the United States, and 15 percent each to
Canada and Japan. Russia pledged a similar amount
of its sealskin catch from its own waters to Canada
and Japan and, in return, Japan gave Russia, Great
Britain and the United States a total of 10 percent of
her seal catch.
The only agreement in effect at present to protect
fur seals from pelagic sealing is a provisional one be
tween the United States and Canada. The 1911 Four
Power Treaty remained in force only until 1917 for
Russia, when that nation abrogated it, and until 1941
when Japan dropped out.
Charge of 5,000 Killed
In Cameroons Rioting
Dismissed as Slander
PARIS, UP—A French overseas
ministry spokesman Thursday de
scribed as “usual anti-French tac
tics” a charge that 5,000 persons
had been killed in a week-long
rioting in the French Cameroons.
He said the death toll at most w-as
15 or 20.
The charge was aired in the
United Nations Trusteeship Coun
cil Committee in New York Wed
nesday on petition by India’s R.
Jaipal. Jaipal said his report was
based on cables from three French i
Cameroons fugitives who reached
the adjoining British Cameroons j
of western Africa.
The French spokesman laughed
when told of the charges.
“We are getting used to that
kind of accusation, ” he said.

Loaded With Tuna
LONG BEACH, Calif., MV
Twenty-five fishermen’s wives
picketed a Japanese ship load
ed with 650 tons of tuna Wednes
day.
Spokesmen for the vessel, the
Banhu Maru, said it would not be

The women, some accompanied
by . children, carried placards
reading: “Stop Japanese Tuna”
and “We want to help rebuild
Japan but not by sacrificing our
American fishermen.”
The ship docked Tuesday with
tuna for canneries here, at Santa
Maria and San Francisco.

dogs four years and the other for
two.

Brutal Sex Attack
KALAMAZOO, Mich., (A*—An
autopsy showed Thursday that

old schoolgirl was found late the
day before in a lonely pine woods
15 miles north of here.
Jeannie, left lame by an attack
of rheumatic fever four years ago,

for everybody.”

in Michigan in the past four
months.
