U.S. Points With Pride
To 50th Anniversary
Fur Seal Treaty
WASHINGTON UP* — The U. S.
government pointed with pride
Saturday to the 50th anniversary
of a treaty that saved the fur seal
herd—and the warm coats its pro
duces.
Secretary of the Interior Stew
art L. Udall called attention to
the July 7 anniversary of the
historic signing by Japan, Russia,
Great Britain (for Canada^ and
the United States. The action put
U. S. conservation on an inter
national basis for the first time.
The treaty put an end to the
killing of fur seals on the high
seas and provided a formula for
sharing the kills made on the
Pribilof Islands rookeries.
The first treaty agreement was
disrupted by World War II but a
new treaty was signed Feb. 9,
1957 by the same nations except
that Canada signed for itself.
A new summary of the Pribilof
fur seal operations published by
the Bureau of Commercial Fish
eries shows the Pribilof herd in
creased from about 132,000 in
1910 to about 1.5 million now.
The first step this country
took in 1911 to conserve the seals
was to prohibit for five years all
killings on the Pribilofs except
animals the natives killed for
food.
This reduced the kill to 2,500
to 3,000 seals a year from a high
that had reached as many as 225,
901 during 1867 and 1868.
Killing was resumed in 1918,
with 34,890 skins taken that year.
Female seals were given com
plete protection untl 1955. At that
time biological studies indicated
the herd had stabilized at 1.5 mil
lion and that disease and other
natural causes were not taking
any excess.
You can always tell a bachelor
from a married man — one is
j cagey, the other is caged.
