JAPANESE ASK
 NEW SETUP ON
 FUR SEAL PACT

Japan has notified the United States. Great Britain and Russia that she is abrogating. effective q year hence. the international treaty protecting fur bearing seals.
 The foreign office announced in Tokyo that during the year Japan will submit proposals for a new agreement. The foreign office state ment said the fur seals in the Pa cific have multiplied to such an eN- tent that the north Pacific fishing industry is being damaged.
 It is under this treaty that the United States administers the fur seal herds on Alaska's Pribilof is lands.
 Thirty years ago, the fur seal was extinct, It was reeog- nized that if unrestricted taking of the seals il the Pacific continued, then there would soon be no more fur seals.
 To build up the herds, the United States, Russia. Japan and Great Britain (for Canada entered into the treaty which is now being ab- rogated by Japan. This treaty be- came effective late in 1911.
 Today there are about 1.900,000 animals in the fur-seal herds which aEzually migrate to the Pribilof is lands in Boring sea. Sales Of Seal skins in the winter of 1938-39 gros- sed about sS50,00O. In previous years the sales topped a million dol lars.
 Altogether, it is estimated sales of Pribilof seals have brought about $18,000,000.
