OTTAWA. Nov. 21.-Mr. James Macoun, tho
Canadian scaling expert. who attended the seal
conference at Washington, has returned to
Ottawa, He said the most important points
agreed upon. from Q Canadian point Of view,
were that the excess of females in the pelagio
catch is due to tho killing of males on the
Islands; that tho pelagic sealers desire to obey
the law; that thore 10 now q tendency toward
neither increase nor decrease In the number Of
the seals. and, finally. that 90 long as the haunts
O. tho seals on land are protected, and the pro-
tccted zone at aea 10 maintained, the seals are in
NO danger Of actual determination.
Mr.. Macoun thinks the most Important Of
these points - that admitting there has been no
pelagic sealers. As q matter of fact he says,
they have, according to the finding of tho dele.
gates to the conference. complied with the liml-
tatio1s of the law. It had never been denied BY
Canada that pelaRic sealing was one Of the
causes of tho decrease In the number Of seals,
but 1t was contended that they were In no dan.
ger OF being exterminated. and to this view the
delegates agreed.
