A statement issued by the Commerce
Department describes the situation as
grave. Not only will the government Of
ficers and employees, as well as natives,
have to eat seal meat to live, unless re-
lief is afforded quickly, but the govern
ment's measures for the protection of the
seal herds will be seriously interfered
with.

templated by treaty with japan, Rus

cause the enumerators for this work are
to go on the steamer. After that date
the seal harems begin to break up, and
an accurate count will be impossible. The
salmon agents and fur wardens also are
practically marking time in enforcing the
laws because of a lack of funds.
