SJ VI SAAAS SSeAA1J AA SAA~ of the last century. The U. S. in- dustry then engaged some 735 ships and 10000 men. It repre- sented an investment of $40,000,- 900 and involved an annual take of whales worth about $8,000, ,000.
 "These figures" an Interior re- port says, "tell the story of the death of great industry through at least three causes.
 First, the whaling resources had been grossly mismanaged; second: the rise of the petroleum industry seriously reduced the do- mestic market for whale oil; third: the United States had failed both to develop new products from whales and to keep abreast of new methods of whaling.
 Meanwhile, other countries, notably Norway, have maintained highly profitable whaling indus tries by improving effectiveness of fishing methods, by developing new whale products, and by com pletely utilizing the catch"
 Revival Is Possible
 The Interior report adds that if new products and new uses for whales could be developed in the United States whaling might be revived here.
 "Norway and other European countries refine and hydrogenate whale oil so that it can be used for edible purposes. A number of other new whale products devel- oped in other countries might be cited" the report says.
 'In the United States, however, SUCH pIOuuClS dIc lIldoC llOlIi other sources, and whaling is not profitable here in normal times, even if whales were plentiful"
 The whale has come danger ously close to extinction" accord ing to the Interior Department.
 The petroleum industry took away the market for Illuminating oil and lubricants. The steel in dustry took away the market for whalebone, used in manufactur- ing such articles as corsets, um- brellas, and whipstocks.
 And there are now available in this country cheap substitutes for all but two products of the whale; spermaceti wax, used in cosmet- ics, and ambergris, a fixative in perfume.

wondered If the young man who spoke
them felt the presence, back of him
