Whales Are Threatened With Extinction

mammals, and should be promptly fol-
lowed by the United States.
1T is obvious" Mr.. Nelson cOntin-
ued that the present uncontrolled,
wholesale slaughter of sea mammals
over most of their range and practi
cally throughout the year can result
only in their rapid determination. Dur
ing the last century the pursuit of sea
mammals was carried on on a great
scale and yielded an enormous return
in oil, whalebone, hides and furs of
fur seals and sea Otters.
Several species have been almost
exterminated by this pursuit, and 9th
ers will follow without concerted ac-
ton.
The success of the fur seal treaty,
whereby through international action
Japan, Russia, England and the United
States safeguard the breeding grounds
of the fur seals on the fur seal islands
in Alaska, has been a practical demon
stratiOn of the effectiveness of such
action.
at is to be hoped that a similar
treaty between the maritime powers
interested may be equally effective in
saving the other sea mammals from
threatened extinction"

of the President is understood to be
whether such a plan would meet his
requirements that all relief measures
be economically sound. On this point
he was given assurances by Mr.. March.
Another question involved is
whether such an operation could be
taken over by the War Finance cor
poration without further authority
from congress. Mr.. March expressed
the view that action by congress prob
ably would be needed.
eve have three principal classes in
the United States-the manufacturing
class, the laboring class and the farm
ing class" Mr.. March asserted in a
statement. with the end Of the war
defation in money return faced all Of
these classes. To aid the manufac-
turer congress passed a tariff act and
to help the workers meet the defation
an immigration law was enacted.
Something still must be done for the
farmers. Because the farmers have
not been sufficiently helped there is
real distress in the West"
Mr.. March told the President that
approximately 100000 farmers left the
farm in 1922 and that from million
to a million and a half would leave
this year unless something wes done
to relieve the situation.

movements conducive to the welfare
of our future citizens, was personally
interested in this great national play
ground.
During my incumbency as repre-
sentative in congress from the Twenty
first district of New York
introduced, on April 81, 1916, bill
(H. R. 14,995) to appropriate $1,545,39
for the improvement of this park in
accordance with plans approved by the
secretary of war.
"After a public hearing before the
committee on appropriations favorable
action was taken by congress on the
project and an initial appropriation in
the sum of $4,000 having been made
on July 1, 1915, toward the construc-
tion of a field house, the wings were
erected and since then have been in
very effective use.
1.-THE measure was re-introduced by
me on April 2, 1917 (H. r. 98), but
further appropriations were deferred
because of the subsequent declaration
of war, a considerable part of the
property being used thereafter by the
War department for military purposes.

tion commission which has been al
work for two years. Following cabinet
discussion of the report of the reor-
ganization commission, headed by Wal
ter Brown of Ohio, the President let 1t
be known that he is inclined to dis
favor at this time such a drastic
change in the government as the pro-
posal to consolidate the two big de-
fense departments.
A spokesman for the White House
said that consolidation of the War
and Navy departments is Incorporated
in the Brown reorganization report as
submitted to the cabinet. The report
submits a comprehensive plan Of re-
organization of departments.
The President believes if the reor-
ganiZatiOn of the defense branch Of
the government ever is undertaken 1t
should be brought up in congress as
a separate proposition, and not in con-
nectiOn with the general reorganization
scheme now in preparation. He thinks
the reorganization problem of the army
is too big a one to be discussed in con-
nection with reorganization of other
branches of the government. The
army and navy, in his opinion, have so
long been established as separate de-
partments and have functioned so we'll
as such that their consolidation should
be approached only after the most
careful thought and discussion on the
part of the administration and of con-
greSS.

of agricultural relief, Presi-
dent Coolidge has given serious con-
sideration to the proposal that the
War Finance corporation finance the
sale of surplus wheat to Europe.
Two steps in this program have been
made in directions given the special
commission headed by Eugene Meyer,
Jr., director of the finance corporation
which went to the Northwest to pro-
mote formation Of cooperative mar
keting associations and to consider re-
ductions in freight rates on export
grain.
The proposal was laid before Secre-
tary Wallace by a group of Middle
Western grain men and later outlined
to the President. Prior to this visit
Mr.. Coolidge had been acquainted with
the general features of such plan by
g. II. March of Litchfield, Mimi, who
has made a special study of agricul
tural problems.
Mr. Coolidge held two conferences
with Mr.. March, who was a weekend
White House guest. Secretary Hoover
also talked with the Minnesotan. Sec

federal department of
public welfare, with member of the
cabinet at its head, it has been learned
authOritatively at the White House.
The matter was brought to the Presi-
dents attention by message from the
National Education association advo-
eating establishment of a department
of education. The General Federation
of Womans Clubs and other nation
wide organizations are supporting the
movement. The new welfare depart
ment, the President feels, should in
clude educational work among its
activities.
Mr.. Coolidge is planning to take up
with congress at its coming session
the advisability of creating the depart
ment of public welfare in accordance
with principles for the re-grouping of
federal activities along more syste-
matte lines.
The rev branch of the government
would take over from the different
departments already in existence those
activities directly affecting the public
welfare.
President Coolidge, however, does
not believe that consolidation of the
War and Navy departments into one
