din, and Jean Tannery. president
of the Bank Of France. It pro-
posed a three corner discussion be"
tween Paris. London and Wash"

Mr.. Tannery drew the attention
of the British to Secretary of the

But the British government re-
piled that the time was not ap-
propriate for its discussion of such

Club luncheon yesterday at the

the Fur Seal" He declared that

contacted for the purpose OF IN
struction in safe flying.
OF the fur seal, he said that

took over preservation OF this
animal, statistics showed that IN
1857 o population Of 100000
seals had been reduced to
100000 by the ruthless killing
by fishermen. In 1872 the mum
Der had been reduced to 1000, 900
and in 1918, only 100000 seals
could be accounted for OH
Pribiloff Island, their habitat 300
miles off the Coast Of Siberia.
Due to protection the animals
have increased to approximately
100000 last year. Mr.. Dill told
of the habits and life OF this
strange animal and what they
mean to the economic welfare OF
the nations involved.
