Japan To Gel No
Fur Seal Treaty
WASHINGTON, Mur. 4, (/P)—
Senator Mitchell <D.-Wash.> said
today the Japanese have no rights
to the fur seal in the Pribilof Is
lands off Alaska.
The Senator said some persons
were concerned lest Japan would
regain its fur seal rights in a fu
ture peace treaty.
Mitchell said this was unlikely.
Russia, Canada, Japan and the
United States signed the original
fur seal treaty, but the present
one with Canada gives the United
States 80 per cent of the catch
and Canada 20 percent.
Mitchell said the seal herd had
increased from 300.000 in 1911 to
2,500,000 now.
