MIR LEIBEs IMPEACHEs HIS REPORT TO THE
BRITISH GOVERNMENT on TIE DEsTRUC
TION OF SEALS


BRITISH GOVERNMENT on TIE DEsTRUC
TION OF SEALS
London July lo.-J. II. Leibes, the expert on seal
ing Of the American Commercial Company. has
sent TO ex-Secretary j. w. Foster. the United
States Seal Commissioner. severe criticism OF
the rcpor, recently made TO the British Govern
ment by Professor D'Arcy Thompson. In his com
munication Mr. Leibes says
Professor Thompson Is doing everything in his
mower TO assist In the destruction OF the few seals
still remaining the Alaska seal Islands. Had he
been the paid attorney for the Canadian sealers
ne could do no more than he did in shading all
the material facts. He acts the mouthpiece OF
the Canadian scalers and could not do any more
than he did TO keep them in the sealing business
His entire report is written In favor OF the few
firms which are now So largely engaged In The
pelagic sealing business. He quotes from American
reports whenever IT suits his purpose. and calls
them correct but contradicts all former American
statements when not favorable TO his views
Referring 10 Professor Thompsons statement
that the thirty thousand male seals taken last
year could have been taken as easily as one hun
dred thousand could have been taken twenty years
ago he points out that the entire male catch on
both seal islands for the last seven years amount
Cd to only iioi22 while the total number OF seals
taken was 66o,O0D.
Mr.. Le!bes asserts that he can give satisfacory
