VANISHING WILDLiFE
{ New York HimeS)

Recently visiting Wyoming and Utah,
President Fairfield Osborn Of the New
York Geological Society was moved to
note the precariouS position of wild-llfe
in this country. Most of the species of
our native animals continue to exist,
though greatly diminished in numbers.
In Western refugees there still are elk in
fair-Sized herds. Moose are occasionally
seen. There are few big-horn sheep on
the high, remote ranges, a few bears in
the lonely canyons. a few beavers in iSol-
aed streams, small bands Of black-tail
deer in the aspen woods and. in migra-
tion season, flocks of waterfowl in the
lakes and the marshlands. Yet the prob
ability that they will escape eventual eX-
termination is not too hopeful.
The country. by comparison with its
condition only forty years ago, seems
almost bare of animal life Will the end
of the century write finis to that life?
Mr.. Osborn does not attempt to answer
the question, except to say that, even in
our we'll administered national parks and
game sanctuaries, the fate of most species
is still uncertain.
According to OminOus voices in this
time of total and ruinous war, Homo
Saniens himself is not so sure of survival
as ne was DeIOfe MS myriad Inventions
amazingly altered his world. To meet
the sudden changes in his environment
he is fervently laboring today, seeking
to invent some new form of human or
qanization through which he can adjust
himself to the changes and be saved from
his peril. Notwithstanding the mental
blindness of many who do not see the
peril, we believe he has wisdom enough
to succeed. Meanwhile his sympathy
might we'll go out to other speces shar-
ing the good earth with him. These lesser
creatures of the animal kingdom cannot
organize leagues and unions and fedora
tons. 1t is up to men to protect them.

OPEN CHANNELS FOR WORLD
NEWS IS DOMINATING NEED

Strong and persistent representations
are being made to set up absolutely open
and unbiased news channels throughout
the world by American press agencies.
Not at the moment, because that appears
impossible. But the entire problem will
be one for the peace era and Immediately
after the war ends
It is not move for what we know in
the United States a Free Press" To
press for that would mean simply a move
and demand that other nations adopt our
policies and way of living. 1t is not in
that direction the move is headed. Of
course it is an ideal, worldwide Free
Press and greatly to be desired. But that
must come voluntarily or it would not be
a Free Press.
There is much credence to the belief
that had there been these open chan
nels. complete, following the first world
war that this glObal war could have been
averted. And simply by full and free
dissemination of the news from all the
world capitals 1t is contended. and well,
that restricted channels, and the monOp-
oily idea contributed to withholding OF
vital news that would have set up cur
rent of thinking and action that would
have forced craftsmanship" to move in
the opposition direction of war.
A leader in this call for open sources
for the press, is the head of the United
Press who says:
Under the old monopoly ARRANGEMENTS
the news-territories of the world were
divided up by the so-called Allied News
Agencies and each agreed not to sell its
news in the territory of the others. The
French agency, Havas, for example was
allotted South America and had an eX-
elusive right among the Allied Agencies
to sell news of all the world to the news
papers Of that Continent. Reuters, the
British Agency, took the Far East, and in
Japan and China had the exclusive right
TO sell its news of the rest of the world.
CAS- see it. this freedom to compete in
gathering news everywhere and freedom
to compete in distributing that news to
all who want it, necessitates four basic
conditions:
!. News sources, particularly official
sources. comparatively open to all.
so. Transmission facilities competitive
" available to all.
"3. A minimum of official regulation
of the flow of news itself.
"a All newspapers throughout the
world to have access to all possible SOurc-
es of news
"a world free press is highly desirable.
but whether it can be achieved by insert
inc q clause in the peace treaty IS some
thinf that remains to be seen. What we
should reach for after the war, in my op-
inion, is competitive equality in access
to the news and transmission facilities
fair and equal status for all news
AGENCIES in all countries.

NO ONE VOICE

One result is the belief, held BY
the English for example. that the
President OF the United States
speaks for the people OF the United
States en- this matter of postwar
peace plans. This was not so in
1919; it is not so in 1914. No presi-
dent, Republican or Democrat,
speaks for the people of the United
States on matter CT such vital i'm
portance; the people speak for
themselves. The greater rural areas;
the middle west, the far west, will
have a greater influence in the
making OF a postwar plan to pre-
vent war than any individual or any
group.
This being so, would it not be
areas to think more than they do
now of this postwar plan If you
say it is tco early, then look at
this list of things already done.
