Merlin, June s.-Reichstag leaders
believe the note delivered at the, al

vance over the German governments
previous reparations communications
especially since Il more firmly stresses
the reich's good will and readiness to
arrive at a solution of the problem
and also because the subject Of guar

Despite this, parliamentary circles
are not displaying an excessive OPP
timism concerning the reception OF the

In these quarters 1t is believed that

FUR SEAL LEGISLATION.

Several bills have been introduced in Congress for the purpose of requiring the Department of Com merce to sell the fur seal skins taken the Pribof Islands in their rather than after they have been tanned and dyed Those who sponsoring the legislation contend there many other places than the St. Louis firm which now has the contract where seal skins be properly treated.
 Those who oppose changing the present custom contend that if the furs sold in ther state at the first point reached by the vessels which bring them from Boring Sea all or more of them would be sold for shipment to London for treatment and the United States would thus lose the industry It would aeem however from the facts developed that dan ger of such consummation is remote It also seems to have been made clear that the Government would realize more from the furs if it would sell them in the salt at Juneau, Seattle some other point
 The Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has investigated the matter and apparently has got at the bottom of it. and the conclusions here set forth are those of the Committee.
 Under the circumstances therefore the proposed legislation should prevail. Only absolute necessi y should cause the Government to participate in busi- ness, and the participation should end at the first practicable point. Under the treaty arrangements the Government very properly must take the seal skins and dispose of them The Governments part in the enterprise should terminate at the earliest DOS sble stage, all other things being equal That should be when the skins delivered at suitable point for their sale to the highest bidder
